Smart move here by McCain . . . I honestly did not believe he would have beaten Obama (I was hoping, but didn't think he could). But this move definitely turns the tide and will help McCain get a TON of the Hillary vote.

A woman as a running mate. This makes for an intersting election. Can he grab all of those women who were supporting Hillary?

A ton of the Hillary vote? Just the fact that Palin is pro-life will keep Hillary supporters from voting for McCain.

It will get him a small fraction of Hillary supporters, but definitely won't make a huge difference.

I don't think that will matter. He won't get all or maybe even most, but I think he will get enough to make the difference.

This is actually a terrible move that won't matter because America won't vote for Obama when it matters.

So much of this campaign has been built around experience, and that's McCain's strong suit. Now he has an amateur VP and the Democrats will continue harping on the age issue. If McCain dies in office, do you want her to be president? She's been governor for 2 frickin' years.

When it comes down to it, McCain is going to win in a landslide anyways, but if he weren't starting this race so far ahead anyways, this wouldn't be a very good choice.

Obama has a couple years of experience as a Senator and some as a State senator. Whats the difference? She was a mayor before she was a governer.

Let's consider: Senator from Illinois, living in Washington, making connections on a national scale. Governor from Alaska , living in Alaska , making connections in, uh, Alaska .

I mean, I was never voting for Obama because his healthcare plan pretty much sends my college career to the shitter, but if McCain's strength is built on experience, why would you go out and get a Veep with none?

(She get's my vote for "Vice Presidential Candidate I'd Most Want Sleep With," though)

I didn't see this move coming. I'm not sure which side of the fence I'm on in regards to the election. To get just a bit off topic does anyone have any unbiased websites I can look at to be able to form a better opinion on both candidates? If so please PM those to me so we don't take up any more space.

I think they do something with the Senate or House and they run and hide first if there is a possible threat. They call it being put in a safe house but I think they are just chicken shit.

They're cat herders, yeah. They do some wrangling in the House and Senate, and take on a few smaller issues like the environment or whatever, but that's about it. I put a teeny bit of stock in the "experience" argument for a President, but I couldn't care less about an experienced (or not) VP.

I was thinking the same thing and agree with you, completely. But, I still think it was a very smart move....

If she was my VP I could find some things for her to do!

She is good looking. I just hope he lets her give lots of speeches of the next 4 years!

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. 1 Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it's wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts for one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about to a 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win? Cheers for thoughts..

      In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.

      Cheers gbogey. The single player can hit 2 balls every shot and take the best ball, and then hit 2 balls from that spot, so your second scenario...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 195 (13 Nov 24) - Easy day with 7i, focused on the setup, alignment = pre-shot routine.  Hit about a dozen hard foam balls from varied lies (thanks to neighbors that don’t mind me hitting from their yards and adjoining ditch banks (we’re talking relatively flat banks)).  It really allows me to replicate what I see on the course in terms of ball on upslope, downslope, below the feet, above the feet, etc.
