I can’t wait until her speech.
Best part about this whole Palin thing…she’s DEVOURING the news cycle. The only news about Obama and Biden since she was announced as VP was both of them saying, ‘family is off limits’….statements that the followers of both leaders completely ignored (thus showing their inability to lead even their own followers).
Sarah rocks!

Dear Republican voters,
it has come to my attention, and there is a possibility that Alaska’s democratic party has released palin social security number minus that last for digits and her various addresses. Now is the time to request the same on Senator obama. Senator obama has been less than forth coming about his past. He refuses to turn of his class documents from Columbia no one can find his thesis. A picture from AP was released last month showing that obama in fact used another name Barry Soetoro in Indonesia, and under is he a citizen it is checked yes, which means that obama may still hold duel citizenship. the liberal media has refused to vet Mr Obama properly. This man of supposedly high ideal lives in a million dollar house that he bought cheap because he looked the other way when Rezko through his neglect allowed people to live in conditions no better than pre surge Iraq.
Barak obama represent big government, and honestly how big we do not know. Obama’s campaign has successful muzzled any criticism about him. The run Sarah Palin and her daughter through the mud about bristol personal ife, and yet we no absolutely zero about obama’s professional life. I am sick of this. this country is in too much trouble to allow this man to get in office. right now our economy and personal freedoms mean a whole log more than global warming, and social programs we cant’ afford. george bush and bill clinton were what they were, but barack obama is in no way shape or form who he seems to be and this in it’s self is what makes me uneasy about who i he is. At best he could be jimmy carter at worse he could be Idi Amin.
If you don’t care who wins fine, but what makes me want to go after obama and his corrupt media friends is when this past week end Maureen Dowd called palin and over size igloo, i’m sorry that’s too much. It was a creul cheap shot, and while i think Palin can take care of herself I for one am sick of seeing these people go for the jugular at anyone who even seems as if they might be a threat to obama. I am voting for McCain because I believe that civil liberties and personal freedoms come before race or party. the democrats have forgotten what democracy means. This is not about Roe vs Wade, welfare, private schools, lowering taxes or the war on terror. these are opinions that I am will to happily agree to disagree with for the next years, because i am sick and tired of being sick and tired. since the Alaskan democrats feel the need to be so forth coming with Sarah Palins sensitive personal information, i think you know have the grounds to demand the same candor from Chicago’s republicans. we do not have the luxury to sit back and allow a small percentage of people manipulate our entire governing processes. the public deserves to know who and what obama is, and if we are going to do it, we have to do it together. One voice can’t be heard in a crowd, but many screaming together in unity ” Oh hell no you won’t” can. this campaign obama has been running with a little help from his friends is evil, and as john mccain said in saddleback evil must be defeated. Speak now or forever loose your freedoms.

Mrs. Palin looks a little out of place with the blue bloods. You can see it in her posture and the cut of her clothes. But that’s what I like about her. She has a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington aura about her.
By the way, Barney Frank said that Palin and her family were fair game –
Rep. Barney Frank is among the first Democrats to publicly say Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s family background, including the pregnancy of her unwed teenage daughter, should be fair game for campaign discussion.
“They’re the ones that made an issue of her family,” Frank, D-Mass., said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
Is this the same Barney Frank who had a gay male prostitute running his business from their condo?
That Barney Frank?
What party is he a part of again?

Yes. That Barney Frank. From the “Name That Party” party.

When Barney Frank and his lover were running a boy whore escort service out of his Washington DC home, he angrilly insisted that his personal life was nobody’s business but his own. My,my, how times change.

Yesterday I watched a tv news show for about 15 mins. getting ready for work. Just long enough to catch Dianne Sawyer reporting on this whole thing, including the gratuitous clip of Obama. Following that, Sawyer said “He’s right, what business do we have making an issue of this” and then just went right on about it, trying to justify her own actions. I turned the tv off.
Because of their actions more people are going to be watching tonight. They are fools. The left never should have made an issue of her. They could have ignored and marginalized her. In their attempt to discredit and destroy her they have given her the audiance that she can use to batter the Obama campagin. I agree with Scott, she is dominating the news cycle.
I worry about Bristol though. I know Sarah can take it. We have a 17 year old pregnant girl with all those hormones circulating in the blood. Anyone married with kids knows that a pregnant woman can get mood swings. At just 17, it is hard to imagine what it feels like to have yourself on the cover of magaiznes and on the front page of the New York Times. And all of the articles are critical. Living in the pressure cooker could break this young girl. I don’t want to be a drama queen, but I could see a miscarriage or even the nightmare scenario of her attempting some drastic act and hurting herself. When the mainstream media targets a 17 year old girl for political gain it is a trainwreck waiting to happen.
I can’t believe how far they have taken this, and I am cynical as hell to begin with. This is the lowest point in politics during my lifetime. The attacks on her family have made me emotionally involved in this campaign. I am angry that this has happened. I pray for Bristol to get though this and find strength. I worry about her mental health and the health of the baby.
She has started a groundswell that could very well lead to a landslide for McCain in November. The harder the media bashes her, the more we ‘bitterly cling’ to her!
Her authenticity outshines Obama’s fluorescent halo!
Give’em HELL, Palin!

Best part about this whole Palin thing…she’s DEVOURING the news cycle.
Or the news cycle is devouring her. Steve Schmidt, McCain’s top campaign strategist, is accusing the media of being “on a mission to destroy” her with “a level of viciousness and scurrilousness” about questions in her personal life. Schmidt said she is “under siege” by the news.
So, has McCain’s campaign lost control of her public image?
First you have this revelation:
(WP) Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was not subjected to a lengthy in-person background interview with the head of Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential vetting team until last Wednesday in Arizona, the day before McCain asked her to be his running mate, and she did not disclose the fact that her 17-year-old daughter was pregnant until that meeting, two knowledgeable McCain officials acknowledged Tuesday.
Then there’s even high level advisers in the campaign who say they opposed the pick, and they’re leaking details about the vetting process to undercut the pick. That certainly is stoking the media coals.
Now there are stories of Palin’s husband’s membership to a radical Alaskan secessionist group.
Then Tucker Bounds makes a fool out of himself on TV, then McCain cancels his Larry King appearance.
I think it’s fairly certain the campaign has lost control of the media and her public image is in contest with RNC’s portray of that image.
Fact is, the RNC ends this week, but not the media ‘devouring’ her.

“Barack Obama got badly burned after elitist comments he made at a San Francisco fundraiser about small town America: “they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them.””
Actually, I’ve read recently that this _isn’t_ an elitist comment – instead, it’s taken straight (almost word for word) from Alinsky’s”Rules For Radicals”.
You’re right Fit Fit. You folks are the masters of the “politics of personal destruction.”
No Republican elected official or “news” media figure (all three of them) would ever think to attack Sarah Palin by suggesting she needs to stay home and take care of her family.
You folks have tossed over every Democrat /feminist principle all for what? Political power?
In case you had not heard, unprincipled pursuit of power corrupts.

I dont care where she came from its where she has been since getting into politics-
“Just witness the success of Palin, who, as mayor of the hamlet of Wasilla, hired a big-time lobbying firm intimately connected with the state’s now-indicted Republican Sen. Ted Stevens and thus obtained $27 million in federal earmarks during her tenure. As The Washington Post calculated in a devastating report on Mayor Palin’s assault on the federal treasury, her home town of Wasilla (with about 6,000 inhabitants in 2002 when she was mayor) received $6.1 million, or $1,000 per resident in earmarks, almost as much as Boise, Idaho, got this year with a population that is 30 times larger.”
It is also nice how every Alaskan citizen received $3200 this year while the rest of America footed the bill as big oil wrote it off. I am far more interested in how McCain handles the contradiction between his and Palin’s position on windfall oil profits than whether he properly vetted her on her family-values commitment to the abstinence-only teenage sex education program.

I have guestions. Why is it that a vice president candidate seems more real? Just curious. I love McCain, but he is not a real person like the rest of us.
I can’t wait until her speech.
