I think that Trump's supporters will be looking to the VP debate as a kind of morale boost, like how the left treated Biden's utter clowning of Ryan in that debate.

With that said, I do really hope that Kaine takes Pence to task over Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Actually iirc, it was an analogue to civil rights with Professor X being the MLK figure and Magneto being his Malcolm X. It has evolved over time with the country and social justice issues, so you're not wrong but I think it's problematic to leave out the impact the civil rights movement had.

I didn't really start following the 2008 elections until after the primaries. How did the right react to Obama rising out of obscurity and defeating their nemesis Hillary? Was it similar to how a lot of us laughed as Trump took out Jeb! and the others but then quickly realized in horror that he might actually win?

Also, Obama didn't exactly come out of nowhere. He gave the keynote speech at the 2004 DNC.

Obama is a loving great speaker. This kid could go far.

MassRafTer posted:

Wow, Obama is amazing. I hate to say it, but the only thing stopping him is that his name might be "too black." I really hate to say that because he is giving an amazing speech that doesn't play into the conservative "angry black man wanting welfare" stereotype at all, but with that name it feels like when he gets a shot at being a VP contender he's going to get picked on for that very poo poo just because he sounds like the kind of black person that scares really white people.

But god is this a good speech.

This kid (Obama) kicks some serious rear end. This is honestly what I was hoping Dean's speech would be like; and I didn't even know who he was before today. If he keeps himself in the spotlight, he could loving go places.

Heh, Hillary likes him. Here's a scary thought: First Women President/Black VP. My mind has officially been blown. Too bad the country is most likely not ready for such a ticket. And also, it's too bad that I strongly dislike Hillary.

Obama 2012 indeed.

The chaos would be fun, but it'll actually always be a zero chance because remember, the VP is also technically a nominated position by the RNC.

It's not unprecedented for a VP candidate to drop out after the convention, McGovern's running mate Thomas Eagleton dropped out of the race in 1972 after his history of mental illness was exposed in the press. But that (among a whole lot of other things, including the literal Watergate break-in) helped sink the Democratic ticket in 1972.
