My comment is superior to all others because it is bold and leader-like.

I can certainly see Biden dropping himself from the ticket when this becomes known. Because thats how career politicians are when going for the White House.

Obama seems selfish.

I always base my presidential choices on kerning.

when your candidate makes a pick this dumb you have to defend what you can.

Dumb.

Anyone notice how the font for Obama is white? He trying to pull the wool over our eyes?

Really? I go by serifs, so Obama has my vote.

They really have nothing, don't they?

Again, I ask: what does Palin have on Biden? Biden has 3 decades of experience on him, domestic and foreign experience -- what does Pain have aside from a nice rack?

 
Mr. Apathy 2008-08-29 08:05:03 PM  
I now see the error of my ways. Obama will surely bring this country to ruin! Buttons won't somebody Please think about the BUTTONS!?

Oh man. If pics of her naked ever made public I doubt the conservative base would be behind McCain, ya know the way he is behind Palin...

My question is along those lines are what does she bring to McCain. What exactly is McCain going to ask her advice about?

He could of got someone who was an expert in financial matters, but he didn't.

Obviously McCain is not looking for someone to give him input. To me that's not a good sign. It shows that he is insecure about the job.

Serifs are much more Presidential, but do they really speak to Joe-Sixpack? Comic Sans would have been a much better choice.

What? No comments about Erick Erickson (guy who runs redstate) being the 69th most influential conservative?

I thought nothing was obscure on Fark.

...Annnnnd he recently got beat out for the job of morning talkshow host on Macon, GA radio.

/bet none of you knew my wife went to law school with Erick Erickson
//got nothing
///nothing except useless obscurity

Amusingly pitiful choice of a VP: desperate, last-gasp appeal to the PUMAs.

I wonder what they would have said about Bush/Cheney 2004 sticker font....

I am confused. So they are biatching that Obama store doesn't whore themselves out the minute weeks before someone is nominated as VP.

I'd toss her salad. Biden? Not so much.

I'm guessing Jeff Emanual skips the porn sites and opens Microsoft Word to fap.

Okay, it IS weird that nothing in the Obama store has Biden's name on it. Really weird.

I imagine they'll probably roll out stuff now that the convention is over? Plus given how image-conscious the Obama design team is I'll bet they're just working on making everything look up to snuff.

Let's try something a little easier:

Obama -> Osama

Playing with names is fun!

Put it in longhand or I won't read it.

Sigh. They didn't actually laud the font. They lauded its color.

It would probably not be a good idea to praise John McCain's coice of font.

Interesting point, subby. I also noticed that the McCain camp also recently abandoned their classic "military" graphic style of a thin typeface on a black background in favor of a thicker font on a soft blue, a blue color very reminiscent of another campaign...
