EDWARDS FIRES BACK. CONTROVERSY OVER REMARKS. EDWARDS SUGGESTS PALIN “STUPID”?​

John Edwards in an interview on CNN. He had this to say about Sarah Palin: “She is a good person, and I’m sure she means well, but when you look at her record, and especially her responses in most of the interviews she’s been in, she doesn’t come off as the sharpest tool in the shed. I think her answers show some ignorance of quite a few issues that a Vice President needs to be knowledgeable about.”​






MCCAIN BOASTS EXPERIENCE. CALLS OBAMA “UNFIT TO LEAD”.​

Senator McCain: "Senator Obama, how can you expect to run the country as a president if you can’t even run a campaign as a candidate? Choosing a running mate is one of the most important, if not the most important choice that a candidate for president must make. If this is the type of person you choose as your running mate, then what type of people would you choose to be in your cabinet?"​






OBAMA SPEAKS OUT. DEFENDS EDWARDS AS VP PICK, SCOLDS MCCAIN ATTACKS.​

Great concept you’ve put together! The irony of the VP pick backlash made me laugh.
And I think the minimalist headline/picture style you’ve been using works perfectly for this kind of story, giving us all the information we need without bogging us down in OTL detail we already know.

STOCK MARKET COLLAPSE! WORST ECONOMIC DISASTER SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION! NATION THROWN INTO PANIC!​

MCCAIN HIGHLIGHTS OBAMA’S INEXPERIENCE, SAYS ECONOMIC CRISIS CALLS FOR STRONG LEADERSHIP​


McCain+Holds+Town+Hall+Meeting+National+Constitution+Er-1E7hJBQql.jpg
​



While on the campaign trail, after weeks of lambasting Obama and throwing fuel on the fire of the Edwards controversy, Senator McCain shifted his argument. He said this to a crowd of supporters at a town hall meeting in response to the recent economic downturn: “My friends, Senator Obama preaches a message of change, and how we need a new voice in Washington. And he is right. We do need a change. But we also need a strong leader with the know-how to make that change happen. We are facing an economic disaster the likes of which this nation hasn’t seen since the Great Depression. These are not ordinary times in America. There are dark days ahead, and we need someone with experience in government to lead us back into the light. We need someone that can hit the ground running from day one.” ​




OBAMA CLAIMS ECONOMIC DISASTER THE RESULT OF REPUBLICAN MISMANAGEMENT. CALLS FOR CHANGE IN WASHINGTON.​



obamaspeech460.jpg


Senator Obama, after fending off quesitons about his running mate for weeks on end, in response to the recent economic downturn, had this to say while attending a campaign rally: “We have been living under a failed economic system for the past eight years. And now, we are suffering the consequences. The economic crash was the result of the failed policies of President Bush, and these are the same economic policies that my opponent, Senator McCain, wishes to continue. America, we can’t afford four more years of George Bush, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with John McCain. It’s time to bring change to Washington.”​

Lets think of McCain's presidency through OTL events...

Much less financial insecurity for most of the country's middleclass... possibly Osama is killed by natural causes, and Al-Qaeda remains less turbulent...More Support for Wisconsin State Government...???

Atleast for us in SE PA, imagine the streets filled with homeless and foreclosed signs...

Oprah would not have had Ms. Hunter as a guest before the election. The talk show host has too much riding on the candidate (Obama) she's been promoting ceaselessly since Iowa.
