Qraymond, leverage for profit? because only dems and pro-choice people need storage space?

As Gothamist states: "The new Palin poster has been up in subway cars and bus shelter kiosks for a few weeks". I think they know it's been up for a while. Also, re: Obama's inexperience.

Toby is right -- they've been around for weeks on Upper B'way. Time to get off the PC and take a walk, kids!

I think these have been around for about a month or so.

There was one recently that was not about Palin but still about pro-choice. I am very pro-choice but find the Manahattan Mini Storage ads to be a prime example of "guilt mania" running wild. How does storing my excess crap demonstrate my support for a woman's right to choose? I understand that they donate part of their profits to pro-choice groups, etc. but nonetheless, again, am I somehow less pro-choice if I don't then sign-up for storage space?

Notice that Polemicist was unable to defend Palin, just to attack Obama. This is why you guys are losing so badly.

@Polemicist No one has the executive experience to know how to run a country...except another president. That's something that you will always need on the job training for. Being a manager in the mail room doesn't make you a good CEO for the company. Having the ideas of what you plan on doing when you're in the White House...clear policy tactics/goals/ideas...leadership? That's something that can't or shouldn't be taught. That's something that Palin doesn't have.

Yeah, Obama has virtually no experience, aside from: - 3 years as a community organizer - Spent 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people - Chairman of the State Senate's Health and Human Services Committee - Spent 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people - Sponsored 131 bills - Served on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees

George W. had lots of "executive" experience as the Governor of Texas for 5 years. That really worked out nicely.

"virtually no experience in government." What are you talking about? He's been in government for at least ten years. I have to laugh at nuts who just make things up out of whole cloth.

There is also the issue that Obama has virtually no experience in government. He is just another lawyer, one of thousands, involved in the machinations of the government.

Meh. As much as I dislike Palin, I find this series of ads to be the lamest form of humor. And there is something that gets under my skin when I see people try and leverage politics for profit.
