So, news has moved on from Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter, and her electrifying speech. The republicans have found a nice little clip referring to pigs and lip stick, thinking that it was an allusion to the joke Sarah Palin made about hockey moms.
On BBC Wednesday, September 10 at 11:45, the main story about the election is Obama denying the charges that he was being sexists. He claims that his comments were taken out of context. The BBC writes, ""The McCain campaign would much rather have the story about phoney and foolish diversions than about the future," the Illinois senator said."
I feel like this issue is moot. McCain made the same kind of comments about Hilary Clinton. Also, the McCain campaign has been running negative ads from some time now. At least in the outlets I've been watching, I have not been seeing any kind of rebuttal from Obama. It seems that McCain can give grief, but plays the girl card when Obama fights back...
I feel like this story will blow over, and that the stories that aren't getting much attention are the ones that may make a difference. Below the Obama and lipstick story is the one where Ron Paul is calling for people to deny both candidates and pick a third party. His slogan? I'd rather throw away my vote than throw away my country. With the election as close as it is, a few thousand votes might just throw this election one way or another...
