So Obama has a lot of people to thank for helping him get to the White House. His friends and family, his campaign manager, all his supporters, blah blah blah. But here are four people that he didn't thank in his victory speech. Who should he send the biggest gift basket to? Twisted Evil

That's not one of the four (ironic) choices. Cool

Palin sealed the deal on this election. First she was qualified to defend the US because she could "see Russia" from Alaska. Then she was taking phone calls from the President of France...who turned out to be some comedians from Canada. I think these two events proved her competence. Let's be honest folks, after these gaffs who could seriously elect this woman.

McCain. For keeping to his Campaign finance pledge, and for not bring up Reverend Wright.

Well, I think Sarah Palin hurt John McCain's campaign and helped Obama in more than one way. One, it showed that McCain was pandering so much to the Christian Right, and she made it hard for McCain to broaden his appeal. Two, she was weak on foreign affairs and has no federal experience. I have a feeling she is going to want to improve her knowledge of the world and spend a lot of time learning about foreign policy. She's a governor, not a federal person, and many people in America don't pay attention to world affairs. She is not unique in that regard. She is not dumb, but she showed herself to be an amateur in the major leagues, but she is probably very good in Alaska, and she wasn't prepared for what she had to do.

Edward Kennedy. His endorsement really helped in Massachusetts.

I suppose he could thank white guilt.

Yes, but I suspect that the reason he didn't bring up Rev. Wright was because it would be an invitation for the Democrats to bring up the Rev. Muthee, the witch-hunting anti-semite at Sarah Palin's church.

I 100% agree, Edward Kennedy was a "maverick" with his endorsement of Obama.

Why isn't Reagan on the list of choices? It was him who really showed Republicans how to cut taxes and spend, spend, spend while mistrusting government.
