Palin in Iowa....not everyone at event impressed ...
http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20081103/NEWS/81103048&theme=CAMPAIGN_2008

<snip>

Other’s weren’t as impressed. Karen Husemeyer of Platteville, Wis., described Palin’s speech as “an eighth grader talking to seventh graders.” She remained undecided after watching the speech, saying she wanted to hear Palin talk more about specific issues and what her ticket would like to accomplish.

“I’m not exactly impressed. I feel there was some fibbing in there,” Husemeyer said.

3. She's not just sayin'.
There are a lot of people in this neck of the woods who won't say who they will vote for in any election, not just this one. They will claim to be "undecided."

5. How could anyone possibly still be undecided?
Are they just going to go into the voting booth, close their eyes and randomly pick?

8. If that's what she's waiting for, she won't be voting this year.
But if she still hasn't figured out the difference between Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin, maybe she should stay home until she learns to do some basic research.

:eyes:

9. So this woman thinks Palin is juvenile and a liar, but she's still undecided??
The night before the election?

Think, lady. Do you want a lying middle-aged woman with an eighth-grade mentality next in line for POTUS? Do you?

14. heh
"“an eighth grader talking to seventh graders.” Still, it isn't too hard to find specifics if you are seeking them out, people...there was a woman being interviewed on my local station who is still undecided, and is just going to "wing it" in the voting booth tomorrow, depending on her mood. Thanks...makes me feel SO much better...

15. What does it take to get through to these morans.....
sarah palin is a vapid, idiotic poser completely out of her league. If they haven't picked up on that yet, they never will. The election is tomorrow. They had weeks to get a "feel" for sarah palin.

Geesh, maybe if she would have showed up on MTP or FTN you could have got a better idea of her policies and positions. What does that tell you? What, you weren't filled with confidence after her appearance on SNL?

These people could not be anymore clueless.

17. Waiting to hear Palin talk more about specific issues
Uh, I got a message for you, lady. Because of expected high voter turnout, your scheduled day to vote is the first Tuesday after the first Monday after the Twelfth of Never.

19. I grew up in Iowa and most people were pretty tight lipped about their vote.
Asking someone who they were voting for was just not done. Similar to how much money do you make and what is your religion.

21. Anybody that is still undecided ---- needs to pull their head out
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 01:21 AM by RiverStone
No excuse for sitting on the fence when the choices are so compelling and completely opposite. :think:
