McCain Has Chosen Running Mate - Unique Governor of Alaska

Its official the announcement has been made, that McCain has chosen his running mate Senator Sarah Palin Republican Alaska. The big question is what is next for this course? And why choose someone who is little known? There have been many views some saying that it is good he chose her over any of the other prospectives because she is very much of the same mindset as The Republicans of the time are. The fact that she is Pro Life, and the fact that she pushed through a measure to authorize the building of a 1750 foot pipe to use for Natural Gas, which is great for investments, cause I am sure you can bet McCain has some stake in that as well. The big question is will she make that much difference. How will she help the McCain Camp beat out Senator Biden and The Man with Momentum Barack Obama? In time it will be seen, soon enough the end result there is only about 65 days left before the final votes are tallied who do you think it will be?

Swift Boat Campaign Revisitted

SBVT asserted that Kerry was "unfit to serve" as President based upon his alleged "willful distortion of the conduct" of American servicemen during that war, and his alleged "withholding and/or distortion of material facts" as to his own conduct during that war.^[1] This claim caused tremendous controversy during the election, particularly because some perceived the veterans as partisans who had not been in a place to assess Kerry,^[2] while several other Vietnam veterans who served alongside Kerry or under his command disputed the criticisms and supported Kerry in his presidential aspirations.^[3][4]

SBVT stated that "Kerry's phony war crimes charges, his exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift boat operations compel us to step forward."^[5] The group challenged the legitimacy of each of the combat medals awarded to Kerry by the U.S. Navy and the disposition of his discharge. (See John Kerry military service controversy.) Further, SBVT said that Kerry's later criticism of the war was a "betrayal of trust" with other soldiers, and that by his activism he had caused direct "harm" to soldiers still at war. (See John Kerry VVAW controversy.)

Registered under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code, SBVT publicized its criticisms of Kerry during the election campaign in a book, in television advertisements that the group ran in swing states and in the media coverage some members received. The group was the subject of several complaints to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

After the election, the group was credited by some media and praised by conservatives as contributing to Kerry's defeat^[6] while critics consider the group an example of a successful political smear campaign.^[7]

From Wikipedia

Following that defintion and according to the same article the group had disbanded for this election year. Why then would it still be an attempt to coup Senator Obama's run. It was interesting to read about this today and to think that was over four years ago but apparently quite effective when Kerry ran for President. So then in that same article there was mention of The Obama Camp Establishing a Multi Pronged attack to cover their bases. So really the question is will it make any difference in this election? And will Senator Obama's Counter be Effective?

Governor Of California formerly Known As Terminator Signs Bill without Budget.

SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided to make an exception to his pledge that he would veto or avoid signing bills before lawmakers reach agreement on a state budget.

From KSBW TwitterFeed

Although this is a blog for bicycling I figured I would share something I was just made aware of today, that even without a budget the Governor of California signed a bill. Maybe not that exciting but it is what the bill is in reference to that relates to Bicycling or at the very least Alternative Transportation. This bill is the first step in putting the first leg down of a 700 mile transit system that would link Californias major cities at speeds in excess of 199 mph. A high speed rail system designed to decrease the cars on the road. That in itself can be a very important part of the entire process don't you think? As those who bicycle regularly can say, that less cars means a better experience when cycle commuting. In commuting by Human Powered Vehicle, to get from point A to point Z.

Though on the other hand, if more are using a high speed train system would that mean less would ride a bike or more in line with what usually occurs according to the many bicycle commuters who play an active role in BikeForums who often speak of using a combination of Public Transit and there own Human Powered System can get anywhere they need to go without the cost of driving a car. In that sense an improvement on the Public Transit system can be a great addition to the repertoire of using Alternative Transport to travel point to point while saving the environment.

What are some of your thoughts, how do you feel about that and your own views on improvements of Public Transit to increase usage of Alternative Transportation?

Biden, Baracks Choice?

Apparently according to multiple sources including CNN News it appears as if the information is out that Biden is Obama's Pick for Vice President. Of course it is still up in the air. Do you think Biden is the choice, or is it just alot of hearsay about Senator Biden being the Vice President to Senator Obama? And why do you think that is? Apparently according to more then a few people it was his stand on Foreign policy that put Biden up as the final choice of Senator Obama's Vice President. Share your views, is Biden confirmed as the next VP or is Biden just hearsay? Share those views on Senator Obama and Biden in the comments below or in this topic of the forum.

McCain Camp receiving threatening letters? Freedom of Speech or Terrorism?

A recent article found at CNN.com makes mention of threatening letters being received at the McCain Camp, do you feel that there is a right to send such things or is it illegal. To also note that in part one of the two letters contained some sort of powder. Does that make it any different? Discuss @ Home Of Knatchwa Forums share your view. And further information can also be found in the Elections 2008 area of the forums.
