b,121During the course of his answer he stated that article I refers to the executive branch(it defines the legislative powers of congress). Stated that the VP is exclusively part of the executive branch(VP is mentioned in article's I and II - article II being the article which actually refers to the executive branch). Stated that cheney's idea that the VP is part of the legislative branch is a bizarre notion invented by cheney'(the article biden incorrectly cited as referring to the executive branch actually names the vp as the president of the senate and historically the vp has had no executive power, it is only in the last 70 years or so that the vp has been granted executive power by the sitting president).

b,121Palin's answers have been mocked here as being largely generalisations, and while her answer on this question was general, it was also far closer to the truth than biden's. The ability to be wrong in detail is not a virtue.

font class="post"1b,121b,121OK Article I section 3 talks about the vp exercising the office of the POTUS. I don't know about you, but that sounds kinda executive to me. All other mentions of the vp emphasizes limited legislative powers for the vp. Article I talks about the senate election of a President pro tempore. PPT is the person who actually does the role of senate president, because the writers of the Constitution had no intention of allowing the vp to part of the legislative branch. The vps only connection to the Senate is when there are tie votes. b,121b,121Section II begins by stating that the POTUS shall hold office with the VPOTUS who are elected together. b,121b,121Yet you, and your intellectual hero Palin, believe that means that vp is both part of and separate from both branches of power.b,121b,121I suggest you actually read the Constitution and not the Rush Limbaugh edited cliff notes before coming around here. b,121b,121Can we get a loony bin gremlin with a picture of dolo?
b,121Psychologist (don't know her field of study) is Black, from Chicago. Another big believer in the Bradley Effect. Her mom, who has family in the South, had an interesting theory: there are White Southerners who won't say they're voting for Obama in order to save face with their neighbors but who will vote for him in the election. In essence, a reverse Bradley effect.

font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121I was having a brief conversation by text w/ a childhood friend of mine over the weekend and he told me he wasn't telling anyone who he is voting for.."because everyone keeps asking, blah blah blah". I was with this guy earlier in the week and he told me the same thing then..but was drunk. When he mentioned it to me the second time(in the text I mentioned above), I jokingly responded "you told me you were voting for Obama the other night..you don't remember?" He wrote back with "yeah, I remember..but I just don't want anyone to know because everyone expects me to vote for Mccain. Especially my Grandfather". The dude actually thought he told me already while he was drunk earlier in the week. Honestly, I was just f*cking with the guy and expected him to reply with something like "yeah right..I didn't tell you shit"..or something like that. b,121b,121So your friend from Chicago is right. There are closet Obama supporters that have to lie about who they are voting for so they don't piss off their (racist) family and friends. Let's just hope those people out number the people that have said they are voting for Obama and the story changes once they are behind the closed curtain. What a weird f*cking world we live in.
Random comment off of a news site...b,121b,121--------------------------------b,121b,121Let's see here.... Obama: Harvard Law School, graduated magna cum laude, and served as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Biden: BA in history, political science, University of Delaware; J.D., Syracuse University Law School Palin: A Bachelors in journalism from the Univ of Idaho - Ms. Alaska runner up. Sarah Palin took six years to get her college degree, attending schools in Hawaii, Alaska, and Idaho. Four of five colleges contacted by the AP couldn???t find anyone who even remembered Sarah Palin or any records of any clubs or affiliations and Palin barely even graduated, with grades that reflected a major in partying, not journalism. Palin's first dream in life was to be sportscaster, covering hockey and basketball. She loved ESPN so much, she named her daughter "Bristol," after the town in CT(You know, the one that's preggers) McCain: got into Annapolis because his father and grandfather were admirals. He graduated FIFTH FROM THE BOTTOM out of 899, and crashed 3 jets in training before being shot down down over Vietnam! Bush: Got into the National Guard Because of Daddy, and openly stated that he joined the Guard because, "I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes."

Hannity's Witness: "Exterminate Jew Power"[/b]b,121By Todd Gitlin - October 5, 2008, 10:08PMb,121b,121Sean Hannity's Fox News Sunday night kitchen-sink sewer job on Barack Obama, complete with a sound-track cribbed from C- porn flicks, features prominently, as witness of Obama's iniquity, one Andy Martin, "author and journalist," and, though not identified as such on Fox News, perennial political candidate in four states.b,121b,121Martin previously crawled out from under a rock according to Matthew Mosk in the WP, to "take credit for posting the first article to assert that the Illinois senator was a Muslim." More recently, he claimed, contrary to fact, that Obama, whom he called a "media witch doctor," has "locked his granny away and refused to allow her to be seen" in order to "pretend he has no white relatives."[/b]b,121b,121Martin has been crawling beneath the rocks for quite some time.b,121b,121According to no less a source than the Unification Church's impeccably right-wing Washington Times of December 22, 1999:b,121b,121 In 1986, when Mr. Martin ran as a Democrat for Connecticut's 3rd Congressional District seat under the name "Anthony R. Martin-Trigona," his campaign committee filed papers saying its purpose was to "exterminate Jew power in America and impeach U.S. District Court of Appeals judges in New York City."[/b] b,121b,121b,121Hallow went on:b,121b,121 In a New York bankruptcy case, he referred to a judge as a "crooked, slimy Jew." During the bankruptcy dispute, he filed a civil-rights lawsuit claiming Jewish bankruptcy judges and lawyers were conspiring to steal his property. He asked a court to bar "any Jew from having anything to do with plaintiff's property."b,121b,121 In another motion in the case, he wrote: "I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did, when Jew survivors are operating as a wolf pack to steal my property."[/b]b,121b,121b,121This is Sean Hannity's idea of a source.b,121b,121b,121b,121h,121

Senator Obama is climbing in the polls, and he needs to continue to fight fire with water.b,121b,121I'd certainly appreciate if someone other than Obama would stand up and call Sean Hannity out. Like Colin Powell, whom I hope endorses Obama within the next two weeks.
