Breaking: Rasmussen Finds Sarah Palin More Popular Than Obama or McCain
By SusanUnPC on September 5, 2008 at 1:12 PM in Current Affairs
Sarah Palin’s meteoric rise — in the unbelievably short period of one week — has improved the mood and riveted the attention of voters in this presidential race.
Gov. Palin’s special appeal as a hardy Alaskan, a fearless opponent of corruption, and a gifted multi-tasker has also sucked all the oxygen out of the room for Obama and Biden, who seem all too familiar and far too predictable. Starting in June, Obama had already begun to lose most of his magnetic appeal when he shifted from the hypnotic mantra of “hope and change” to more “meat and potatoes” Democratic politics. In a gambit to win independents and moderates, Obama further lost his appeal to liberals when he made a hasty retreat from core progressive issues such as FISA.
In short, Obama is no longer, to most Americans, a fresh and unique figure in U.S. politics. And, with the ho-hum choice of Joe Biden as his running mate, he further dampened the flames of enthusiasm and passion for him as an iconic, singular figure of fresh hope.
Barack Obama is about as exciting as last year’s fashions, 90% off, at Value Village.
Now check out these astonishing numbers that show the tectonic shift in one short week, all because John McCain took a gamble on an unknown running mate. Along with related blog posts, Memeorandum.com is featuring the hot new story, “Palin Power: Fresh Face Now More Popular Than Obama, McCain” from Rasmussen Reports:
A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% hold an unfavorable view of the self-described hockey mom.
The figures include 40% with a Very Favorable opinion of Palin and 18% with a Very Unfavorable view. … Before her acceptance speech, Palin was viewed favorably by 52%. A week ago, 67% had never heard of her.
The new data also shows significant increases in the number who say McCain made the right choice and the number who say Palin is ready to be President. Generally, John McCain’s choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama’s choice of Joe Biden. …
This is utterly fascinating polling. I recommend reading the entire analysis.

I haven’t even read the post, just read the headline and started to laugh…..LOL, I just love it!
I think and hope that her appeal will be slightly more lasting than Obama, since her focus is not nearly so much on herself but rather what she does.
I do love, and all respect to other ladies already in government, but I do love that her position has NADA to do with her husband. She did it. That’s what women and girls need to see, need to know. They can do it, just like anyone else, and without anyone’s help, and likely with long odds. Go for it.
BO’s been running for President ever since he was elected to the Senate…Sarah has a lot of time left and thankfully the election is only months away.:)
MUST READ article about Obama’s community organizing past, his own realization that community organizing was worthless at effecting change, his decision to go to law school and get into politics, etc. I can’t link directly so will send you to a post on HCF:
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=27878
Susan, or someone, please write this article up from The New Republic. It shows that Obama — suddenly intense defender of community organizing — himself knew it had very limited reach. It also shows how he came around to the idea of the impact charismatic leaders could have, etc.
Absolutely essential reading for all those opposed to Obama. It is a long article, but very much worth the read.
In the last 4 days, BHO’s lead in the polls have gone from +6/+5 in Rassmussen to +2/+1, and in Gallup it went from +8 to +4. CBS has things tied.
I’m LOVING it!
Some of this has been addressed before. It seems when Sen Obama gets a job, he can never do enough “for the people” and needs a bigger, better and more powerful job. He did this as a community organizer, Harvard Law Review editor, lawyer, state legislator, unsuccessful candidate for US House of Representatives, and the US Senator. If he is elected President he will say he does not have enough power to get things done “for the people”. What is next king or dictator? At each level he doesn’t do anything but say he needs more power. This is why is has no record of ever doing anything.
Paul’s point is important because “Palin is bashing community organizers” is one of the 0’s new talking points.
Did you notice that even when obama uses “community organizer” belittling by Sarah, that they don’t even use him and his own community organizing but someone else? LOL He couldn’t even use himself because he was not that type of get things done community organizer. His job as community organizer was to hustle up votes to climb the ladder.
you guys are missing the point as usual living the last 8 years while the republican party has focused on “security” the country is in an energy crisis and a recession, who cares if Palin had more experience is she gonna focus on the things that will affect our future as Americans? You could not be so unintelligent, not to know that it takes a group of people with one goal to accomplish things and it wont be Obama,palin, biden, nor mccain alone it is a team effort and it starts with us as Americans not in Washington, so stop the foolish remarks about who has experience and who does not, or community leaders etc. Did u have experience when u started your first job?
So, what are the actual responsibilities of a community organizer? What did Obama do? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
This info is also in a piece in The Chicago Reader from 1995…
“What Makes Obama Run?” from The Chicago Reader, December 1995

What’s interesting are the quotes from Obama himself…notice how HE’s changed….
Paul Villarreal
Thanks! How can we read more on Obambi’s “community organizing regrets”?
I haven’t seen anything on this subject matter at all lately.
Isn’t Palin the total antidote to Obamyopia!?
Karma’s a Bitch, sweetie! Get over it!…
I have been saying this for a while now because I read his book. It’s right there in his book (the first one, “Dreams from My Father”) what he thought of his “community organizing”.
Paul-thanks for the link and Elliott- I read your comment below AFTER reading the link to TNR that Paul provided us with.
I read the TNR article-and I posted my comment but being reviewed by moderator.
I pointed out (in my blog on TNR) that I was not sure what to make of the TNR article-maybe its just me-I can be a little thick at times BUT after reading your comment Elliot- I suggest you post your remark on the TNR link that Paul provided us with.
It sounds like you read the article. your point sounds very valid.
I questioned the TNR author as to why he took so much for granted when writing the article.
It sounded like he was spitting back what someone told him?
I also included links to 2 other websites that include articles about the Alinsky method plus comments by readers”

THANKS for the COMMUNITY ORGANIZER blog by John Maki. Extremely important to udnerstand what a low-life bare-knuckles politician Barry was and is! Succinctly written and eye-opener for the Obamyopics!
Obama has to focus on himself and not what he has done. Why? Because he hasn’t done anything … unless you include voting ‘present’, rigging elections, ans hanging out with criminals (Rezko) and terrorists (Ayres, Hamas).
Obama has gotten down right BORING!! His message is stale and he stinks to high heaven of corruption.
I change the channel when he comes on just like I use to with Bush.. De ja vu.
I can’t recall Obama has ever been anything but boring. Watch Sarah the Attack Dog now – she will espouse positive arguments but she – like Rudy G – will continue to laugh at and ridicule Obama.
and the way he bounces in with that hey guys !! and the smug look on his face as if to say I got the nom…..
I want to see him on the 5th Nov at 8am in the morning bet he has no bounce.
and lets make sure he takes brazille poloski dean and all those awful peeps with him

Agreed that women and girls will be motivated in positive way to have such a great role model who rose from the bottom of the heap.
Like Hillary, she’s from middle class, but unlike Hillary, she never showed any interest or love for Women’s Issues or Children’s issues.
sure, she wants to be an advocate for Special Needs children, but what about the other children.
If she is going to be a Steel Lady like Maggie Thatcher, with a Smile, then all that TRULY PROGRESSIVE WOMEN LIKE HILLARY have accomplished will be gone.
An empty role model is something similar to Obama–an Empty Suit.
This election is sad indeed…The only bright spot is that we do have a role model for girls who aspire to politics, yes.
We have someone willing and able to take on that Xeroxed Candidate of the ex-Democratic Party, yes.
McCain was conciliatory in his speech and sounds sincere that he want to reach over to the Independents and Dems (should say exDems after the holocaust on Hillary during hte primary) and be the Bridge that Hillary should have been to unite the two parties!
Obama will regret that he didn’t have the political instinct or smarts to put Hillary as his V-P. JFK put his arch-foe Lyndon Johnson as his V-P and went on to win election!
Obamarama’s huge Ego did not let him win the election for the exDemocrats!
Sweetie, come November, you’ll see the Light to cure obamyopia. Karma is a bitch, baby Barack. Get over it!
Thanks S, for pointing out the reasons the majority of Americans like SP and NOT BHO or Joe. Great to see such a refreshing new face on the horizon who is well qualified, and can do such a great job overall. Yes, she does represent a formidable challenge to the Bots, now that they have been upstaged; they don’t like 2nd billing. The Repubs certainly are still cheering JM and SP.
She beat him after only one week. There are certainly many reasons for this but the most important I should think is the backlash just waiting for a chance to explode. Also I think a lot of people give McCain/Rove credit for completely fooling the Dumb Democrats.
I agree –
Obama’s derision of small town folks and his derision of women. Now, the backlash.
Obama is not going to be able to stop himself now, as Palin is more popular than he is. Ha!
Urban Hillbilly
You got it right 100%!
Gov. Palin combines the two catastrophic elements that are the biggest impediments to Barack’s way to the Good Ship Lollipop(WhiteHouse):
-Extreme Misogyny displayed by media frat-boys and Obama Himself; and
-BitterSmall town folk clinging to their religion, guns and racial prejudice (”those not like them”!)
Sarah gets on her side the women and the bitter small towners with relgion, guns and antipathy for elitists like Himself.
Sarah’s got the winning combo. Now if only Bambi would have chosen (unafraid like JFK) his former political opponent to be on his ticket, he would still be unbeatable. Hillary had what it takes and she polled way ahead of McCain!
And of course, if Hillary was chosen by the cowardly Barack, Sarah would still be shooting moose in Alaska!
Barack shot himself in the foot by letting his ego triumpt over political smarts. He diminished Hillary by not putting her on the VP slot–and lost the bloody election! simple!
Well, sweetie, get over it! You shouldn’t be afraid of strong women. And this baraccuda will chew both your ears and anorexic resume off in a hurry! Amen, bros and sistahs!
Well since so many seem to have McCain dropping dead on the second day in office… I guess this looks pretty good for the anti-obassole crowd!
Karma is a bitch!
Hillary is probably chuckling to herself!
Well, given that McCain’s mom is 96 and still kickin’ right along, I think ‘ol Mac just may have inherited some good longevity genes.
sjc-tx
Yes, indeed! Hillary must be chuckling out loud by now. Obambi was afraid of the puma…now he’s got an angry, gun-toting, religious, bitter woman at his heels. And she intends to make moose-burgers out of his big ears!
Sarah actually blocked a vote as Mayor of some moosetown to prohibit abortion rights and as Governor she allowed partner benefits for gays. She had said that even tho she did not share those beliefs, she was a staunch believer in the Constitution taking precedence to personal views!
Outta girl! Let’s hope McCain makes her more independent-minded….
Ah, obamyopia is on the way to being cured! Yes, God, karma’s a bitch…with a rifle!
It must be very galling to Mr. Soetoro to be eclipsed by a woman, particularly Governor Palin from the Great State of Alaska.
Well he despises people like that, doesn’t he? That’s what he said to his rich friends in San Francisco!
Can we start boycotting some of these Hollywood eletist who are way too involved in politics?
Today it’s Heart. What? Am I to buy based on party? Maybe we should have all Actors and Artist declare their party before we spend money on their music or view one of their movies.
And i will continue my lifelong boycott of all things Oprah
Boycott Opray, Susan Sarrandon, P.Diddy, Madonna,
Also someone needs to ask the View if they want to be critical about why McCain pick Palin who they feel has less qualifications then I want them to question why Obama didn’t choose Hillary who had 18 million votes. How many votes did Biden have? Well we know it was less than what Palin received when running for Mayor
Same here. btw, Oprah’s not having Sarah on her couch…lol…so f*cking what…lol
MG!
I hope Sarah does not do Oprah but goes on Rachael Ray and Ellen instead! HA!
Oprah made her choice. She picked race over gender. I made my choice. Bye- Bye Oprah. Live by identity politics, die by identity politics. I don’t need Oprah. Oprah needs me to watch her show and buy her magazine. Bye- Bye.
Tuppence
Yes. I will never watch Oprah again. She’s a turn-coat.
She could at least have stayed neutral. Even though Hillary was called a ‘friend’.
What a hypocrite!
For the exact same reason, I will have nothing to do with Oprah ever again…
Bye Bye Blackbird
There’s one very rich demagogue. And don’t tell me she didn’t choose Obama because of skin colour. People who engaged in slavery were despicable but there’s never been racists like the AAs.
Turning Tide. I think your statement regarding “there’s never been racists like the AAs” is over the top and because it is all encompasssing, it is not true. Have you forgotten George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Dr. King’s murderer, etc. I am an AA female supporter of Hillary. The main true racist is Obama who lied to blacks and trumped up false charges of racism against the Clintons. Thanks to Obama, blacks became furious thinking these charges were true. Their support for him is based on falsehoods and a sense of pride in their race.
For his slanderous conduct in making those charges and in lying to black people about them, I detest Obama. I hope he loses this election by a landslide!! Then ordinary blacks will understand he lied to them and he will be despised by them as well. As for the so-called black leaders (Clyburn, Brazille, Jessie Jackson Sr, John Lewis, etc) who knew the racial charge was a lie and did not stand up to refute it, I have nothing but utter contempt for them and I hope they lose as well. I marched with Dr. King. Because Obama lied on the Clintons, dishonored my work as a person who marched with King for civil rights and made a fool out of black people I will never, ever vote for him. I will be voting for McCain.
Wisewoman.
Agreed on everything you posted. But it’s sad when you see a man who marched with MLK, a thinker and a man who cares and is loyal to the Clintons lie John Lewis who then is forced by AA leadership to forsake his friends and what he believes in…it’s sad.
I saw a mocking trio of pseudo-journalists, I believe at msnbc (morning Joe?) and all three were Hillary-bashing. Hillary looked tired, drained and disoriented. As she turned to meet Bill who wanted to kiss her, Barack tapped her on the shoulder and she turned away from Bill to kiss obama instead.
I oculdn’t believe the vitriol making fun of HIllary’s turnabout.
The jerks did not even stop to consider that this was at a funeral of one of HIllary’s closest friends: Stephanie Tubbs Jones!
Shame on those morons….Wish they’d leave Hillary alone at least in a Funeral Home…
Actors have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. Beyond curiosity no actor influences my vote. And I won’t stop watching George Clooney movies just because he supports Obama.
Sarah’s too busy to sit on Oprahs couch and bet shes gald….
Some things hit deep. People idolise their favorite actors. Some things carry over. I can no longer tolerate several from the Hollywood camp because they are cruel, complicit in murder, racism – these are things that come to our attention – they color how we view these people and react to them. Hollywood has always been liberal and some of the great Hollywood films have been forces for the political good – but this time? This time they’ve simply gone too far: this time they’ve exposed themselves not as good thinkers but as pandering slobbering fools.
I do boycott if they totally piss me off, it just turns me right off that I can’t enjoy the entertainment. Oprah is on that list. Others may join her.
I think part of the appeal of Governor Sarah Palin lies in the fact that she reminds me a lot of Marion Ravenwood as played by Karen Allen in the Indiana Jones movies. She presents herself as very down to earth and spunky, someone you can have a drink with and talk about everyday problems with who also will not take crap from anyone.
Sarah-Mania sweeping the nation! LOL

Another spasm on the way for Jeralyn at TalkLeft.
You bet! She is awesome and will celan up the corruption in WA. She has no problem with it. She is brilliant! McCain respects women because he has a great relationship with his mom..
He’ll have tons of women in his administration of course! Who wouldn’t want a hard working multi-tasker..LOL
Don’t you find it telling that the trolls are consicously absent? They wouldn’t even know what to say! This is great
At least two of them were here yesterday. Knock on wood. Of course if this site were properly organised and patrolled we’d never have to worry about that. But the proprietors are too confused for such a daunting task.
There are a couple trolls here now under the radar and pretending to be one of us.
Like I said in an eralier thread: IF There is anyone left who is supporting Obama, they must be politically retarded.
I received a call this morning from one of my former employees who lives in Wisconsin and was heading out to see Gov. Palin. I had converted this conservative right to life women over to the Kerry camp in 2004 and since then she has believed in the principals of the DEMS, but she told me after hearing Sarah the other night, she was now supporting McCain. She was an HRC supporter and was warming to BO. But, she’s all for Sarah!
good!
Thanks for the report. Wisconsin, too, a swing state this year!
You can only be “fresh” and new and shiny for a short time. Obama, the one hit wonder.
She’d just better cool it with the criticism of HRC.
She was just saying that it makes it harder on a women if she points out that she is being treated unfairly.
Yes, but it shows you how tough it is for women to beat criticism, that Palin herself is compromising on her own value of tackling problems head-on when she says you can’t do it, it makes you look weak. And another irony is that Palin can now fight sexism in a way Hillary couldn’t because the big man (Mac)is on her side. And that’s it. Women have to have men defend their right to be equals before other men and the self-hating women who enable them will accept the idea. Fewer and fewer men helped Hillary. Her big man was preemptively trashed so he would be ineffective. Maybe it was a political weakness to speak out against media bias, but it wasn’t a whine, it was a lone voice speaking to truth.
Exactly!
It wasn’t so much the big man on her side. It was the party and the party’s women. I had to give a cheer for carly Fiorina when the RNC women got toether to defend Palin. Fiorina made it a point to say she’d stood up for HRC several times, and even though she diagreed with her on some things, she was a great candidate who had been treated with sexism.
i find it abhorrent however in my office when the men got all upset about a woman on the ticket. Hell, we make up 50.7% of the population and close to 50% of the labor force meaning we pay taxes and support this nation. Why do men think a woman should not be on the ticket? Most of these guys are Dems. They didn’t want Hillary and don’t want Palin.
The guys in my office think she is HOT & SAMRT. They are voting McCain/Palin 08
bemused
I saw video of Palin made at an interview in a radio station a few months ago and she was smart and snappy, but she was very discouraging talking about Hillary as if she was “whining” and she said “gender’s not that important, you know, I just ignore it…it’s always there, you can’t do anything…I just go on with my business”
I laughed at Sarah Palin’s naivette. But I wonder now that she’s at the receiving end of the misogynist abuse, how does she feel about Feminism?
that’s the problem with Conservative Women. They don’t get it –unless it hits them personally. And then they have a big guy (mccain) for backup. Hillary’s views on the world in general and women’s rights and children’s rights are million light years AHEAD OF SARAH. Sarah’s a poor substitute for Hillary.
Let’s hope that Sarah has learned a valuable lesson about Sexism in the media and in her own party, too, that vilified Hillary all these months together with the Obamarama Campaign misogynists.
It’s a miracle that Hillary survived and got 18 million cracks on the ceiling. There is no way Sarah could have pulled it off. She’s smart, she’s intelligent, she’s ambitious, she’s a multitasker. But Sarah has yet to open her eyes to issues that affect women other than herself! She’s no feminist. Yet Sarah’s a terrific role model for girls in the career track.
Well, let’s take Sarah and appreciate her for what she can do to make sure Obambi’s smirk is frozen in History. She’ll just say:
“Sweetie, get over it!”….
Ah, Hillary, how we miss your compassion and decades-long service to the cause of Women and Children.
I strongly recommend that Sarah listen carefully to Hillary’s 1995 Bejing Speech where she challenged the Chinese officials and sparked a debate that will continue long after Sarah sees the Light:
“HUMAN RIGHTS ARE WOMEN’S RIGHTS
and
WOMEN’S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS”–HRC Bejing’95
this is a really good point. and
the fact that there is so much negativity, hostility and hatred dumped on women in politics just shows you how intrinsic and accepted sexism is here.
so basically you are dammed if you do speak out against it- then youre a whiner, and dammed if you dont speak out against it – then you are considered weak and complicit in your own victimization. Its a neat little trick pulled by people, men and women, who fear the strength of women.
Exactly. Not to mention she then went on to praise all the the things she liked and respected about Hillary.
I agree if her goal is just to pick up voters, but I also think it’s great to realize that not just men can span the spectrum of ideas. Women should be flourishing in all parties ideally.
She does have some stark differences with Hillary, and I can’t imagine she’s the type to shrink from that. But I think it’s a good idea for her to at least acknowledge and continue to thank the women that came before her. Not that Hillary’s gone, but still.
Who “she”? Michelle?
oh no, what’s Barry going to do about sweetie? He talks change and then selects Fossil Biden. LOL, where is Joe these days? Hopefully, not hitting the sauce.
BTW, for those in Colorado, Mac and Sarah will be in Colorado Springs this Saturday (sept. 6th).
Joe hasn’t drawn a sober breath since the end of the Denver Convention. He is running around in cutoffs drunk as a skunk.
WOW!
WHY PALIN’S THE FEMALE BILL CLINTON!
YIPEE!
WOW!
Bill Clinton without the ideas.
Teddy Roosevelt in heels.
Yep!
“The Obama Delusion”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb9nuPRgNDg
Video includes all of Obama’s lies, flip flops, and spin. Spread the word!!
No, that is not even close on “all of Obama’s lies” at all.
BUT, it is good. Thanks.
I’m sure its great, but if it includes “ALL of Obama’s lies, flip flops, and spin”, I doubt the world’s largest supercomputer would have enough memory to download it.
Just checking to see what Rush Limbaugh was saying…
LOL!!!!
He is chastising NOW and Gloria Steinem for not supporting strong women…he said “Hell, I would Vote for Hillary over Obama any day…that’s what they don’t understand”
Hillary’s fighting spirit earned her the begrudging respect of conservatives during the primaries.
I have several Republican colleagues who admitted they liked Hillary, even if they would never vote for her against McCain. Those same colleagues can’t stand Obama.
But anyway, back to “strong women,” who do we think someone like Putin is going to respect more? The moose hunting huntress from the frozen North, or Mr. Arugula with his man-hands?
I could actually see Palin and Putin sharing some vodka shots and working out their differences.
** correction ** — Mr. Arugala and his GIRL HANDS.
Sorry, but his dainty hands have always bothered me.
DAMN YOU!
i just spit coffee all over my screen…
heh heh…
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
Agree. The two gunslingers could certainly carry on a conversation, slam down a couple shots, and then talk business. Latte-bama, would come to the table with arugula, do a “Man”-icured “girlie” hand shake, and Ruskie would be puzzled, dismayed, and call out for the huntress to come finish the job.
McCain/Palin 08
Putin would not respect Obama. I have hosted Russian exchange students. I have several friends from Russia. The problems we have in this country don’t hold a candle to some of the problems they still have in their country. Putin would eat Obama for breakfast and wonder what’s for dessert.
A well deserved implosion of the BO campaign! It warms my heart.:)
Obama has gotten wet with all that walking on water and parting the seas… It seems he has started to RUST!!
Congratulations! Your comment made Gem of the Day at
httpCOLON//newwavedemocratsDOTwordpressDOTcom/comment-of-the-day/
After Hillary left the race (Well, rather, after she was FORCED out of the race) in June, I kept saying that if McCain picked Palin, it would galvanize and energize the base.
I had heard about Palin previous to McCain’s announcement that Palin was his pick for Veep, and liked what I had heard. Now, I am excited about her. How can you not like her? Regardless of her personal positions, I have not seen much that shows she has tried to impose her personal beliefs on anybody during her tenure as governor. I like that.
Since I do not believe “social issues” will be on ANY presidential radar these next four years, I am comfortable with Palin as Veep, and the non-religiously-beholden McCain as President.
Thanks McCain, for making things interesting again and cancelling the coronation of B. Hussein Obama II.
I really liked the comment from Patrick yesterday, thanking PUMA for making McCain choose Palin.
McCain is sure grateful to BO for not picking HRC for VP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiNMz_745vQ
Thank you! It was heart felt and I mean it…without this groundswell/movement, who knows what would have happened? John McCain needed to know that if he took the leap of faith, there would be voters out their to catch him.
Take care,
Patric
They key point is here (Rasmussen):
“However, following the Wednesday night speech, voters are fairly evenly divided as to whether Palin or Obama has the better experience to be President. Forty-four percent (44%) of voters say Palin has the better experience while 48% say Obama has the edge. Among unaffiliated voters, 45% say Obama has better experience while 42% say Palin.”
Ummm… for some reason I thought Obama was running against McCain?! It’s clear that McCain has more experience than Obama–so is this why we are now comparing Obama with Palin? Last I checked, she is running as the VP……..where’s Biden vs. Palin in all this?
EXACTLY! This is the problem Obama now has — the press is framing this as if he’s running against McCain’s VEEP! McCain can relax into the role of being Presidential and a father figure to boot(which doesn’t hurt). Meanwhile, BO is running around talking about the experience of McCain’s VP who has exactly as much experience as he has – only HE’S running for the top job.
McCain’s a wiley old coyote.
At this point Biden is invisible and does not count for anything… and yes the DNC has got to be having serious buyers remorse.. Luv it!!
GO…. Daddy Mac and Cudda !!
Pollsters carefully word their questions, just like a lawyer does – to get the answer they are looking for. You don’t know how all of this was being prefaced either. Still believe the governor has more on the community organizer. Obviously, polls would like to spin it otherwise.
What kind of Presidential candidate garners comparisons to the opposition’s VP pick? One who doesn’t even meet the threshold for a comparison with the number one spot – a very good narrative to continue.
That’s it in a nutshell.
It is popcorn time, people!!!!!!!!!!
It promises to be a fun 2 months. Well, maybe not for the Obamacrats.
As a former Alaskan (Anchorage is my hometown), Sarah Palin resonates with me. Even though I do not agree with many or her views (I used to consider myself quite liberal until the fiasco of this election and the lows the Liberal Left has sunk to…), I may find myself voting for McCain/Palin. I shock myself every time I think this out loud considering I used to be a Dem. Here is a link to a great article by Gerard Baker of the Times discussing why Obama and the lot need to be wary of Sarah Palin!
From The Times
September 5, 2008
Sarah Palin: it’s go west, towards the future of conservatism
Her thrilling convention speech showed that the Governor of Alaska is a force to reckoned with. But she might be more than that…
Gerard Baker
The best line I heard about Sarah Palin during the frenzied orgy of chauvinist condescension and gutter-crawling journalistic intrusion that greeted her nomination for vice-president a week ago came from a correspondent who knows a thing or two about Alaska.
“What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?”
“One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let’s be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.
“The other kills her own food.”

rofl Fantastic Article. Thank you for the link! I found these two paragraphs very telling. Herein lies the real hope and change for this country, it sums it all up. Although there is much more. I saved it all.
Great article!
This is an election, as the Democrats have realised all along, about an America on the cusp of change. With the moose-hunting, establishment-taunting Mrs Palin at his side, Mr McCain might represent a bigger change than the one that his opponents are offering.
McCain/Palin 08
Stray,
Your Republican adoration for McCain Palin may not be warranted. The article made a few Hillary-bashing observations and concluded that Palin, unlike HIllary, didn’t depend on a man to get her the Senate seat!
I got news for the Republicans inhabiting this site who just don’t get it in their antediluvian heads that Palin, while repersenting change in appearance, is not much different than George Bush in her policies. To have a l7 year old preggie daughter and to believe that a pregantn child should bear the child of rape or incest….come on, now, Sarah, open your eyes!
Do you really think Sarah knows shit all about Universal Health Care and Chidlren’s real issues. Her Margaret Thatcher policies will bring disaster and barbaric times back to the world.
I really don’t think her policies are any better than Bush. She looks hot. Bush doesn’t.
Now, Obama looks just as bad with his sexist personal views. He deserves a slap from Palin. Yes. But in voting for McCain Palin ticket, God help America!
Sarah is a great woman and spunky and lively and a celeb already. I would prefer to have a friend like Sarah than Barack (god forbid!).
But Sarah was just as clueless as Obama about Sexism when she bashed Hillary calling her in the interview (youtube) a “whiner” adn “too gender focused for me..I just forget about it and go on my business….what sexism? it’s not there!!”
Yup that was Sarah before she met Sexism personally!
But I would not want either her or him in the White House!
What the hell can we do to bring back HIllary?
Palin is Margaret Thatcher in likeability drag!
Hillary is out of the race. She got out a long time ago. Dems had a chance to nominate a winner, but they wanted Obama too badly. Sarah Palin is a Republican. In case you haven’t noticed, we don’t care.
aren’t babies great?

on babies.
a post here yesterday was on Talk Left where I used to hang out a lot.
I had enough when Ms NoWireHangers suggested that the baby was drugged to keep it quiet.
holy shit. these people have completely lost it.
I swear these liberals are so friggin’ out of touch–maybe too much time in prep school or something. I saw a statement from droid that said Piper licking her brother’s hair is ODD behavior. Obviously, they don’t know the joy and innocence of childhood. I’m shaking my head in disbelief.
I guess they never saw this either:

I guess they never saw the Breck Girl Edwards hair video.
My grandma used to do that to us all the time and we protested when we got older… then I found myself doing the same to my own kid.
It is pure love. Grooming another person is an instinct. Taking a hair off them or fuzz ball shows you care about them. Sentimental as hell and all the money in the world can’t buy an ad like that and no advertising agency would have thought of it.
Oh please. I saw my mother lick her hand before pictures and swab down my brother’s cowlicks. I did it to my own child when I was rushing to do something. He was such a nature child, as most toddlers are with mother’s stuggling to keep clothing on them. It reminded me of a memory from when my son was a toddler.
We were going to get a family potrait. I had him all dressed in a little suit. My hands full, his sister was holding his hand. By the time we got from the house to the car, his bottom half was nekkid. So I had to walk back to the house gathering up his clothing, get him all dressed again. Then as we’re driving down the road a highway patrol man pulled me over. I thought great these people are strict on their appointments and I am going to be so late, what did I do?
He came up to the car and told me, “Ma’am you might want to look in your back seat.” I did, there sat my half nekkid child again. He said, “I tried to get all his clothing for you, he caught my attention because as you were driving his clothes were flying out the window,and hitting my window, but I only got one shoe.” So back home I had to go getting more clothing, but just leaving him in a diaper till we got there. Needless to say by then I was a mess, he was a mess. I had no water, so I just licked my hand to fix his hair he had such curly hair. My daughter was standing behind him licking both her hands trying to smooth out his curls. That little girl connected with mother’s everywhere, the same as her mother did.
Palin: An American Insult
Charles Karel Bouley
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charles-karel-bouley/palin-an-american-insult_b_122652.html
“This woman totes guns, poses with dead bears, and thinks it’s acceptable to enter the world’s stage of politics with a four month son with down syndrome…a job that takes a full time parent not a full time nanny. But oh well, duty calls I suppose, hubby will mind the kids. Very maternal. Thanks mom. And get over that, too. Ask any parent of a child that has challenges if they have time to be Vice President; or the desire, for that matter.”
………………
A DOUBLE STANDARD EMBRACED, WHILE ATTACKING PALIN on ‘motherhood’! HOW LOW CAN WE GO!
Politics have reaches a new low when men are questioning a candidates mothering skills, and attack her family.
hey if Michelle Obama can do it every one can join in…
what a horrible example she is to humanity…
Five days after Obama said families are off limits, Michelle Obama feels it necessary to tell us all that the Obama’s will not have anymore kids because the “presidential race is enough additional responsibility”.
The Obama campaign is telling us that Sarah Palin is unfit to run for VP because she has too many young children. The Obama campaign is afferming and endorsing the sexism that has polluted the MSM, the blogs and the rhetoric of the democratic primary.
This announcement tells America that the Obama campaign has nothing left to stand on, nothing left to offer the voters and that they are truly desperate.
More importantly, it also finally unmasks the true origins of the smears spread about Palin’s daughter, the disgusting lies about Palin’s newly born son and the appalling sexism Americans have had to endure over the last year as nothing more than Obama campaign talking points.
Now we just have to wait for Obama to say, “That is not the Michelle I knew”.

This is classism. Michelle had children in her 30’s when her career was under way. Sarah is the same age and has a son in the military so she was in mid 20’s. Michelle is condescending again. This is a personal choice as there is no right or wrong time to have children or not have children at all. This just more of the educated class wanting to tell everyone what to do for their own good. No one cares what she thinks. They are yesterdays news now.
They have been bottom dwellers all year, they aren’t about to rise above it now. They can huff and puff but they can’t blow a brick house down.
you cant make this stuff up.
and the headline. holy shit.
who would have believed a year ago that the top blog run by a supposedly progressive woman would be so goddamned excited about defending a wife beater?
Guess that poster forgot that Daddy can be just as much a loving caretaker if he wants. Obviously, Todd loves his kids so much, that he doesn’t mind taking care of them also. “Very maternal” comment is irrelevant. Sarah can still be just as maternal as the next mother. She also happens to have a job. As Governor. And hopefully soon, as VP.
This is one of the most touching videos I have ever seen. It brings tears to my eyes. My babies are all grown but there isn’t a mother alive who hasn’t spit on their fingers to pat their baby’s hair down. She must have seen Sarah do it. Piper touched my heart and brought me some great memories.
Ditto, I posted one of them above.
I am not surprised at the numbers, and I venture to bet that in another few days time they will only rise.
This woman is not only a new face, she is a REAL person, not some hyped up candidate pushed by George Soros.
Although I wanted Hillary Clinton, I am more than happy to champion Sarah Palin.
After Hillary was treated so miserably by the DNC, Pelosi and Obama, I renounced my 35 year membership in the Democratic Party. After all didn’t Donna Brazile and Obama say they didn’t need “those people” in the “new Democratic Party”?
I am now an Independent, and with Sarah Palin as vp, I just might become a Republican.
I just hope Hillary doesn’t disappoint those women like myself who worship her by going gang busters for the “Phoney One”.
I agree w you. I admire Hillary for what she did and endured. She said she was doing this for us,for America-that it wasn’t about her-that this was about us. So hopefully she will be proud that what she has done paved the way for another woman. She should be proud that her run really brought the still prevailing and blatant sexism in this country full force out in the open. And I really hope she tones it down about her support for BO. I will wait to see what happens. But if she doesn’t she’s going to lose my respect.
Does she have a choice… she must drink the coolaid for the party that screwed her over.. pity.
At least we are free to move on..
GO … Daddy Mac & Cudda
I suspect they are shitting bricks in Obamaland
Don’t knock last year’s style. See also my favorite candidate, Hillary. It takes a Value Village!
Seriously, are we not going to entrust our office to the Ivy League? Look what Tony Blair’s upstanding education did for the UK. What if we fail to adhere the preppy gap?
I think it’s pretty telling that BO is being compared to someone who is only running as VP. This is evidence that he is scared and HE SHOULD BE.
That could have been our HILLARY, but the DNC wanted ,THE ONE , KING OF ALL KINGS , THE SECOND COMING ,THE MESSIAH, BILL AYRERS and REVEREND WRIGHT LOVING , OBAMA, I am sure you guys can come up with more names. THANK YOU DNC FOR THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.
samb
Thank you! Exactly how I feel. The DNC should be packed adn sent off to Alaska to hunt for moose for a living.
They destroyed Hillary and the media sexism was ordered by Obambi’s Axelrod campaign.
“Obama gives Hillary the Finger” — now that’s Obama’s way of thanking his fellow female senator!
Shame on Obama!
Let’s hope Palin wakes up from her conservative lethargy and minds her own business when it comes to abortion adn the inalianable right of a woman to control her own body! Some of SARAH’S conservative ideas are SCARY!! Could Sarah see the light and tyr to udnerstand she was wrong to call Hillary a “whiner”, now that she’s getting the full treatment form the misogynist ole boys’ club?
i have heard it said that 25% of republican women were going to vote for Hillary…

A little humor:
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win.. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.
Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner.
After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota
There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.
Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another ‘bad hair’ day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none.
That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, ‘Obama, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin’ son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don’t even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.’
The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish), Harry said to Obama, ‘Well, tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?’
Obama replied, ‘Harry, you’re not going to believe this, but he’s cutting holes in the ice!
LOL….
hehehehe
Obama just flip floped again with Off-Shore Drilling.
BEWARE OF FALSE PROFITS,
BECAUSE THEY EQUAL O DOLLARS.

gee, do you think Baracktrack AND Michelle are going to regret badmouthing America’s Sweetheart and her family now?
i can’t wait till some journalist asks Michelle and Barack about this comment:

Damn!! Palin is going on one helluva attack on Barry. No wonder the leftist-Dems are shaking in their loafers!
Yeah, now they have to send out the women to save his ass….
So, Mr. O is now last year’s fashion accessory. When you build your entire candidacy around being the fresh, new ‘bling’ on the block, you run the risk of something shinier and newer suddenly appearing between you and the spotlight.
Mr. O – it looks like you’re “so 5 minutes ago”, welcome to the scrapheap of history.
It’s just a realignment year. I prefer earthy over flashy. Frank over fake.
Serious damage was done by Obama when he treated Hillary so bad. Flipping her the finger, brushing his shoulder off; also, the MSM and their horrible abuse.
America be proud – we stood up for Sarah Palin against the MSM and Obama. We could not take it anymore.
I saw a report that over 10,000 canceled their subscription to US magazine, and there is a major email/letter campaign to all of the advertisers.
The Democratic Party died under the rule of Howard Dean and Obama. I am truly sorry for that, but I cannot ever call myself a Democrat again.
Amen!
Judy
Yes. The turning point for millions upon millions of women (and some good men) was when Obama went on stage in N.C. day after his pathetic Pa.ABC Debate and starred in this youtube mega hit:
“Obama Gives Hillary the Finger” — like a juvenile rapper-wannabe, using his midfinger, dusting her off his shoulder and scraping her off his shoes as if his fellow female senator were …excrement!
“periodically, HIllary feels down and starts launching attacks at me…”
What a disgusting misogynist pig.
Sarah Palin should rethhink her calling Hillary “whining” and saying “genders not the problem really…some of it you have to take and go on and do your job…it’s not really sexist…” bla bla bla.
Well Sarah baby, how does it feel now to be on the receiving end of Feminism’s glory, eh girl?
Let’s hope Sarah sees the light and doesn’t forget what other women have gone through for Sarah to enjoy the limelight now! She owes Hillary!
\\
And someone send Sarah a copy of Hilary’s Historic Speech in Bejing, ‘95:
“Women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are Women’s rights”
We miss you Hillary! You are the Best! You cared. You were soft. You were tough. You were spunky. You were intelligent. You were Simply the Best for women and children all over the world.
Let’s hope Sarah appreciates Universal Health care. Not every woman is strong enough to become a mayor, a governor and a V-P. the ones who struggle with bad fortune…well…sarah doesn’t see that. Hillary looked far and she could see…
HILLARY – YOU ARE THE BEST!
If it weren’t for you, Sarah would be shooting Moose in Alaska! Thanks!
BOYCOTT GENERAL ELECTRIC
Done that. Getting ready to send them receipts for appliances for a complete kitchen remodel. I had sent them an email during the Tweety/MSNBC onslaught of Hillary lettnng them know I was going to boycott GE. Now they will see I keep my word.
If not Hillary then McCain/Palin 08
They are also doing business with Iran…Selling them nuclear and military products…guess we are learning who the real puppet-masters are behind Mr. Soetoro. No wonder he will meet with president of Iran. They are also, GE, moving into nuclear power plants…guess who voted for Cheney’s energy bill, Bingo- little boots, Soetoro. Clinton voted aginst the Chenery sponsered bill. Interesting piece of info. Bush was against this bill-Dick Chenergy pushed it!
I just paid $282 for a repair of my fridg that I purchased less than a year ago that was made in China.
They run a lousy TV station and make crappy products.
They’re selling off the appliance business. Most of their money is in defense.
not criticising the boycott, but guess who makes the BIG decisions.
yes, your friendly neighborhood congresscritter
McCain TV Ratings Beat Obama in Preliminary Numbers
By Andrew Krukowski
Presidential candidate John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party’s event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.
Across all broadcast networks Thursday, Sen. McCain’s speech ended the night with a 4.8 rating/7 share, compared to Sen. Obama’s 4.3/7 average, according to overnight numbers from metered households in 55 U.S. markets measured by Nielsen. These ratings are preliminary, however, and are subject to change.
NBC’s coverage of Sen. McCain’s speech started directly at the tail end of the opening game of NFL season, with the speech pulling in a 6.3 rating/10 share, topping Sen. Obama’s speech last week by 26%. That lead-in may have boosted audiences who last night turned out in droves to watch Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin introduce herself to the country.
ABC’s showing of the McCain speech averaged a 4.5/7, down 2% from the same night of the Democratic convention last week, while CBS’ coverage took in a 3.4/5, an increase of 3%.
THAT CHEAP HUH?

Little did Todd Palin know what he was in for when Sarah told him she was thinking of running for the PTA! I hope Hillary stays far, far away from the Obama campaign. It will take the shine off her status forever. Sarah Palin is our chance to get a woman in the white house. Strike while our IRONS ARE HOT!
Palin in ‘12 sounds great. I think its too late for Hillary to distance herself from the Obamatrap…and I’ll bet Biden is asking himself now, ‘What the hell am I doing with this guy?’
If McCain/Palin win, you can bet Palin will do her best to drive out the Dem leadership turds in congress when they come up for re-election…and then Hillary can have a real big laugh.
Maybe a breakaway from the Dem party will still happen. It would take a lot of energy and courage. The Clintons have both.
calli not your sweti
I know you’re a republican hardcore enthusiast. But please try to understand we’re Pumas.
We’re not Baraccudas.
We’re still Pumas adn we’re in mourning!
Listen to Hllary’s Bejing ‘95 speech adn tell us if Sarah would understand teh meaning, and depth adn implications for millins of girls and women throughout the world, not the tight, parochial, insular closed-mindedness of those neo-conservatives who would let their own child-daughter at l1 go through with a pregnancy as result of rape or incest!..
Please don’t ever compare Sarah’s neanderthal conservative roots to Hillary’s progressive compassionate love for Women’s adn Children’s Rights.
You just don’t udnerstand the Pumas, do you calli?
I know, we’ve all heard Obama before and there’s nothing fresh. Hey Obama, that’s not change. It’s more of the same.
Now the only time Obama gets interesting is when he’s trying to verbally dance around some issue and gets into his Stuttering Stanley mode. “No, no, no… Hold on now… Look… As i’ve said repeatedly… Let me reiterate…”
Obama is so unpatriotic, I don’t recall seeing the Flag of the United States on stage. What a difference to McCain, the Flag looked so awesome moving with the wind. Maybe Ayers was standing on Obama’s flag.
to those who keep comparing and Hillary and Palin, saying she better respect her. Palin thanked and paid homage to hillary and said she would not be where she is without Hillary(or ferraro).
Now that Hillary is going to attack her for Obama, she does not owe Hillary anything.
Also, someone called me a troll on the last thread. Dissenting opinion is not trolling. I thought we liked this blog and felt different from Obama supporters because we are not sheep?
Look i like hillary alot. But her turning into Obama’s stooge and attack dog is sad. I also think it says alot about who i thought Hillary was.
Again, Bill Clinton made me fall in love with politics and Hillary renewed that passion in me after it had fainted from the last 8 years.
What she is doing now for Obama really says something about who she is.
We can keep playing conspiracy theory about her in 2012. The fact is though, unlike John McCain she did not have the guts to stick it to her party.
She did not fight til the end as she said and now she is towing the line and trying to drag Obama over the finish line.
Country First.sorry you do not like to hear someone tell the truth about reality or how i feel but what she is doing shameful. Also, someone said it correct. “she is no longer fighting for the womens movement. The womens movement is fighting for her.”
Again, call me a republican. I am now. But i was not until a month or so ago. I had been a dem and a loyal clinton supporter. Take off the blinders and see what is really going on. NOT WHAT YOU HOPE is going on.
Hillary is first and foremost a Democrat. Unlike most politicians she is true to her word and, ultimately, to her party. She believes in the ideals she has fought for because she wants what is best for the American people — US! What would people think of her if she abandoned the principles and ideals for which she so bravely fought? The DNC is to blame — not Hillary Clinton. They pushed her out of the race and anointed “the one” unfairly. Let’s not forget that. AND, as others have stated — NO HILLARY equals NO PALIN. Hillary is the one who beat on that hardest, highest glass ceiling so others could break through! I will never forget her — and we will see Hillary again on the national stage fighting once again for us.
Paul3 Tri[ple
Well said. But as a puma I have no blinders. You are thinking of the obamyopics. They don’t see at all.
Hillary ran as a Democrat. We know it’s the exDemocratic Party and it’s worth garbage for me and you. But to say that Hillary will just drop out of the Democratic Party, forget the debt, forget her standing in it adn just go on CNN and write a Feminists for Palin speech….is ludicrous. Maybe Ludacris will be on Obambis’s ipod with a song to that effect. But i won’t be singing it.
No, Hillary has a job within the Democratic Party that betrayed her. And she has to go through the motions. If you want her to burn herself at the cross be a Joan of Arc for what?
She’s done more for the women in your family and mine than any other damn politico ever did, including Sarah baby who can’t see beyond her eyes the trouble with this country.
Sarah is blind. She doesn’t see we need UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. She doesn’t see that EDUCATION STINKS.
She doesn’t see that America is on the bottom of the heap in INFANT MORTALITY. She doesn’t see that American’s reputation throughout the world becuase of the DAMN REPUBLICANS is shit!
No, SARAH CAN’T SSEE THAT FORCING A RAPED OR INCESTED 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL TO HAVE A BABY IS CHILD ABUSE!
Listen, Paul, lots of things Sarah can’t and will never see as HILLARY did! Okay! Get it through your head.
WE KNEW HILLARY CLINTON.
AND YOU SARAH PALIN, AIN’T NO HILLARY CLINTON.
We’ll help you win the election because as Pumas we want to see Obama HUMBLED and pay for his SEXIST PIG’S WAYS that DIMINISHED HILLARY! That’s all.
But don’t you think for a single minisecond that we don’t think that Sarah can never aspire to the greatness of Hillary. And never will!
Yet Sarah’s a great role model for young girls who see her in a position of power and, hopefully, her positions on social issues will PROGRESS, not further regress!
Sweetie will see the light through the 18 million cracks that will shatter teh DNC ceiling in November–and that’s all my mission will be.
Don’t expect me to be a cheerleader for wire hangers sold in Alaska or for private clinics to proliferate or more trillion-dollar Republican wars in Georgia!
No sir! Enough of Republican barbarism! So take all that you can. And don’t push your republican luck!
BO preaches the sins of America to guilt people into voting for him because he alone can make the needed changes and give them hope for redemption, while Palin showcases her average family as proof that America is still standing and that Americans can make it through the adversities together. There is no contest. Palin’s message has a fuzzy warmth along with a tough attitude, reminiscent of Reagon, while BO is going down the road of Carter, a do-gooder with ideals but no backbone.
Palin is scary. Warm fuzzy speech with Reagan overtones.
SARAH IS MAGGIE THATCHER IN HIGH HEELS
The young lady is the oldest (in terms of progress) in the gang. I’d take Biden’s ideals and democratic principles over Barack’s and Sarah’s any day.
Biden is a decent guy and is far more intelligent and experienced thatn both of Sarah and Obamarama!
Sarah’s ideas are those of my Grandmother, for heaven’s sake. Can’t you people see this.
Forget Barry.
Forget Sarah
NO REAL CHOICE IN THIS ELECTION BOTH ARE DUMB AND DUMBER!
She is pure evil. She is a vicious, backstabbing, petty, SUBHUMAN snake and Americans will learn the truth of her soon enough.
are you talking about Michelle?
I’ve never heard a better description of Meeshell.
I agree. Michelle Obama is a succubus, the devil incarnate.
Margaret Thatcher makes Michelle look like a cherubim.
ihatepalin must be that Trooper who was drinking beer in a patrol car, illegally shot a moose, told others his father-in-law would “eat a f’ing lead bullet,” and thought tasering his step-son was a good idea…
“I wish we had time to be divided. I wish we had time to be upset. To be angry. To be disappointed. I wish we did. Because if we had time for that, then things wouldn’t be so bad right now.”
– Michelle Obama
The Republicans watched the Democratic primaries and realized that the Democrats have a HUGE misogyny problem.
Being Republicans, they tried to think of a way to exploit this weakness in their opponent–beyond the damage the Obama campaign had already done to its own party.
“Who can we nominate for VP who will drive the misogynists nuts?” they asked themselves.
The rest is history
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu4IFSGIUFU
McCain also seems to have received according to Nielsen
a higher rating for his speech as Obama….
“than Obama” (sorry).
Wow, one of Obama’s demons made their way to our great no quarter.
Be gone with you, demon.
McCain had the largest viewer ratings 38.6 million, more than Obama acceptance speech.
I hope and pray to see more of John and Sarah on the news. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH FROM THIS GREAT POWER COUPLE FOR AMERICA!!!!
Palin’s speaking ability is extraordinary to. Her speech reminded me of a Norse woman telling a tale or something. Her voice was amzing.
I think she rivals Obama in Oratory.( actually, i think she is alot better) I may be bias though,
I hope and pray to see more of John and Sarah in the news. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH FROM THIS GREAT POWER COUPLE FOR AMERICA!!!!
Susan, I don’t put much weight in polls this early or this close, but there is something electric in the air that isn’t at all fake. The reaction at the convention to her is very similar to the reaction to Bill at the DNC. There was an instant trust in this woman and many have described her as authentic and a natural. YEP!
I’ve been all around the Clinton boards since the announcement of Palin and without exception I find major consensus of opinion from all the old time familiar names. There are attacks from some obots with new names and who have never posted on these sites before pushing the “Palin is no Hillary” and “third party voter” themes.
Well, we Clinton supporters have been through a hell of a lot of twists and turns this year to lead us to our opinions and you obots can’t come close to fooling us.
We’ve watched every pathetic talking point imaginable from the bots and none of them have persuaded us.
Ya see, we know barky, we know him better than his supporters do, and we also know Hillary and what happened to her in detail and vividly.
Out the bots and tell them to shove their chitty candidate back up where the sun don’t shine.
They are trying to divide, it will not work. They are trying to make us feel guilty for supporting the other party, that won’t work either.
Honestly, I fell asleep during McCain’s speech and thought it was boring as hell, but I was able to sleep with the thought of him in charge. If barky got the nod I’d become an insomniac!
Something comforting about Mac, he is an old pair of worn shoes that fit just right and barky is a new pair that rub me in all the wrong places and cause pain.
Also, delighted to hear Hillary will not be doing much for him in the future and will be busy with other more important matters than doing his bidding or the DNC’s.
She knows there will be a GOP White House so she is going to go to bat for the Senators she deems worthy.
I think we would all take a long hard look at any candidates Hillary will chose to support for the Senate.
What a long battle we’ve had. The GOP women are fighting mad at the sexism and were able to hit the ground running. Hillary and her supporters paved the way.
And WE, united, won’t back down. Nobambibiden.
Harriett Christian did an interview with Cavuto saying Mac told the Hillary supporters back in June when they met with him that he was considering Palin. They believed him and he followed through on it.
The ob supporters I personally know are clearly freaking out over her. Some have attacked her in emails with condescending remarks and I blasted the hell out of them.
I won’t stand for it. They have succeeded in making me defend Sarah as fiercely as I did Hillary!
Great post!
Never forget Obama signature tactics:
Divide and conquer: Set your opponents up against one another. It creates confusion and uses up energy.
Voter Supression: Demoralize Hillary supporters and keep them at home on election day.
Be wary.
The republicans must have known we would come to Gov. Palin’s defense. Great post!
FOX REORT…McCain beat O)Bama Convention…..38.9 Milliom tuned in for MAC..yippee!!!!

7 Rumors about Palin debunked
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/05/top-7-myths-lies-and-untruths-about-sarah-palin/
abondaning a party is not abondaning your ideals.
Again your speaking in terms of red vs blue.
We are americans. She should be for america no matter what. Not democrats no matter what
How disappoint it must be for
MSNBC
CNN
NBC
ABC
BET
and all the motherFing Arab states
to see the enthusiasm for McCain/Palin and the reslove of so many Americans…
ooops, I almost forgot the LA Times and the NY Times.
You can bet they will do their un-American best to derail them. I hope they step on their dicks.
I just read the article in the LA Times on McCain’s acceptance speech, and the headline over the continuation of the lead story on Page 2 was “Crowd Subdued At Times”. I’ve noticed this kind of subtle left-wing bias in the LA Times’ news reporting ever since I’ve been living here in southern California. Of course, they’re a left-wing paper on the Editorial Page, but that’s fine. That’s what the editorial page is for. But more and more, there’s a subtle liberal bias in their news reporting. They’re pretty much like the Associated Press now.
I moved to SoCal 2 years ago, and I agree, ever since the LA Times endorsed Bambi before the CA primary, the coverage of anyone else has been nil and shrill. I get so angry. And even on the editorial page, they only print the pro-Dem letters (I know, because they never print mine!) In Thursday’s edition, with a big front page article about Palin’s speech that was positive for a change, I came to the conclusion that Obama’s campaign must be doomed if even the Times had something good to say about her!!
Karen, hillary is in Florida next week to campaign against palin. So she is not to busy, She is going to try and denie someone from shattering the glass ceiling.
I just think it is wrong and she is doing what she has to for this party but not for america or her true and die-hard supporters(like me)
After what the media tryed to do to palin you would think she would have defended her.No.
She has been scheduled to be in Florida for a long time. She’s working to elect down ticket dems.
You are being ridiculous.
Yes, we have to remember that Hillary is pushing for the down ticket Dems…she has to start builting her base, NOW. She will need this base to clean start the purge of the DNC. So we need to give her that option. She is no dummy. She just has to tone down her attacks on Palin. Give her some leeway, people!
That’s your problem, not hers. No big Republican politicians came out to defend Hillary, remember that. They were probably laughing at her trouble in private.
It’s not Hillary’s job to defend Palin publicly. That’s the rule of the game. It’s McCain’s job because he selected her. It’s the Republican’s job because she’s one of them. And they are doing fine.
I would add it was Obama’s job to control his lunatic fringe, and he didn’t. It was the Democratic Party’s job to defend Hillary and it didn’t. These are the true culprits. Leave Hillary out of it. She has to campaign for her party, no ifs or buts about it, if she wishes to lead it in the future.
Ann Coulter was promoting and defending Hillary all winter
To make Democrats look bad, of course, she would. And in this case, she was justified. But Ann Coulter is hardly a politician. And she is bit of a sideshow even in the media world.
I posted this on an earlier thread but thought this might be a good time to repost it:
Hillary’s making it clear that her priority is down-ticket dems – NOT barky. She’s busy raising the money for them that barky promised, then reneged on, after he bribed or forced them into backing him.
After barky loses, Hill’s gonna have a lot more dem friends in Congress than barky or anyone else is – translates to POWER – how ’bout Majority Leader? And 2012 is looking better and better for her.
She told people that a month ago, that she was going to work on the down ticket. She did it in 2004 and 2006 raising millions of $. While he was surfing she was humping for him.
She has to do this and if BO campaign complains, she should direct them to Nancy and Harry.
I feel so bad that progressive like most on this blog have to listen to Rush, Sean (always loved Lou) and other right winger to get the truth.
Boy is that ever the truth,, I hv completely given up on CNN and only watch FOX NEWS….
Hillary needs to get those IOUs from fellow Dems. When little boots comes crashing down. She will need these foot soldiers for the coming purge of our party. People have to allow her the leeway to start the process for a good house-cleaning this coming year.
Paul, did Hillary send you her advance script?
Didn’t think so.
I don’t think Hillary is trying to keep anyone from breaking the glass ceiling before her. We are all forgetting why we are here! It was Hillary who brought us together in the first place — and as I stated before — NO HILLARY/NO PALIN. Hillary is not going to shove aside the ideals she believes are best for America because McCain did what the DNC would not — put a woman on the ticket. If Hillary did not remain true to herself and to us, we would be the first ones to gripe about it. Is that what we expect from her — to be a complete sell-out? If she did that wouldn’t we lose all respect for her? Hillary is doing what she needs to do so that she can run again in four years. I am with Hillary all the way!
Paul3Triple
You are NOT a Hillary supporter (like me).
I smelled you ages ago. You’re a Republican Troll.
Say so, don’t pretend. Mendacity is not welcome, friend! Nothing’s wrong in speaking up for Sarah Palin. She deserves it. She’s just….not Hillary and dear republican troll, we pumas protect our own!
Visiting hours over….
Get ready for round 2 of the dirty attacks. People will be pretending to get emails from people who know Sarah and have all kinds of behind the scenes knowledge about her, mostly written as opinion so as to not have to back anything up.
Clever sh*ts those obamatrons.
My God, how sad will that be to see Hillary Clinton try to bring down Sarah. As I know this is an ‘America Fist’ site, I hope Sarah kicks her ass but good.
“America Fist”?
Hillary is not going to “bring down” Palin and you know it.
Hillary is campaigning for Democrats and helping them to raise money.
Arabella, thanks for your sane responses to this stuff.
What stuff?
I will not vote for Hillary if she somehow gets on Obamas ticket. The Dems are too corrupt. I’m for Palin now because it’s about time Mac had a partner to clean up the corruption and one-ups-manship.
popular Palin
THANK YOU, YET ANOTHETR REPUBLICAN TROLL!
your friendly-ID Puma
This site is crawling with Republican Spies!
I think the bots are trying to pit the Hillary folks against the Palin folks in an effort to divide us and make us forget why we came here in the first place! Be wary of this!
The P-bots are getting too much. They are like O-bots with a new favorite toy.
AMEN!!!!!
Consider it practice for 2012, then it won’t feel so bad.
I was reading those over at Riverdaughter. It’s worth looking at. The letters aren’t even credible. My personal favorite was the guy claiming to “have to” go to small redneck town of Wasilla to do his shopping. Anybody from a small town knows that’s BS.
Where is Obama’s real birth certificate?
Where is Obama’s medical records?
Heck, we don’t even have addresses for him from the time he was in New York during his years at Columbia.
And nobody knows anybody who knew him at that time.
He was hatched and delivered by aliens on there motheship or maybe it is biblical and he really is the anti- you know what?
I read a blog by a person that worked with Obama at a New York financial newsletter publisher. Obama writes about this in one of his books, but his story was highly embellished. Obama talks about meeting with Bond traders, his reflection in the elevator doors, wearing a sharp suit and holding a briefcase. This was all B.S., he never left the office, never wore a suit, and never talked with Bond Traders. The funny part of the blog was all the co-workers that wrote comments about all the B.S. in Barry’s book. They all thought he was sort of a strange guy.
http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/breaking-photo-documents-barry-soetoro-indonesian/
Good question maybe we should ask the National Enquirer ?
You know, at this point, just even a name of the hospital he was born at will suffice. How hard is that to reveal?
Look for the Obama camp to find a reason for Biden to be dropped. They are probably negotiating with Hillary to join the ticket as we speak. I guess Rudy was right. Biden should have gotten that VP thing in writing.
I’ve been saying this since Obama announced Biden as his running mate. “Biden will not be on the ticket in November.”
He’ll drop out for health reasons. In the next week.
Pastor Manning said today that Obama would try to get rid of Biden.
If Biden will drop out for health reason, blah blah, then why the hell didn’t O’shithead vet him properly?
Uh, umm we took that into consideration but…bullshit.
I keep getting photoshopped emails of Palin nude and/or in compromising positions. Who’s behind this sexist crap? Probably the cheeto-fingered bot boyz.
What else would you expect from these barbarians, crack addicts and welfare junkies?
According to FOX NEWS moments ago…. CLINTON, SABILLES, NAPALITANO will be sent out to derail PALIN with the women voters….
That’s what Obama would like you to believe. Clinton is going to be in Florida anyway. Nobody “dispatched” her.
She’ll give a speech about how Democratic policies are different from Republican policies with. Then she’ll say something along the lines of “Voting for McCain/Palin is a big mistake.” And with wink and wonk she’ll go right back to business.
WHAT HILARY NEEDS TO REALIZE is the democratic platform has ZERO chance if Obama is elected. The people of America need the corruption cleaned up and Obama IS part of the corruption.
Umm…isn’t the next hurricane headed for Florida right now (talking about Ike, not Hannah). That could derail the schedule a bit (and perhaps the impact of it if she has to wait a few days more to do it).
Oh…NOW they want the women to help. This makes me sick.
Look inside the numbers on Real Clear. Most polls have less than a 4% lead for BO, but what makes the average 3-4% is Hotline. I look a date of the poll and it was before Sarah speech. And, also look at the % of those surveyed who voted for BO during the caucus where he won the majority. Who was surveyed? This numbers are +8 for him at Hotline which brings the average up.
Hillary may have been scheduled there, but she put out a statement directly after Palin’s speech and that was the first i heard. She is trying to elect Obama. Stop lying to yourself and hoping she has some secret plan. She will run in 2012 if O loses, sure. But she has said and has scheduled rallies to help Obama. It is a fact.
And if she says one thing privately and then parades around USA for Obama i think there is something wrong.
I am not ridiculous. What is ridiculous is to refuse the truth of reality because it does not suit you at this time
She doesn’t have a secret plan. She’s a politician, she’ll finesse this thing. She is a loyal Democrat and she’ll do what she has to do.
One of the things she has to do is help down-ticket democrats raise money. That might be because, oh Chicago controls the money now.
She also scheduled during hurricane season. I bet it will be too stormy to go. After that she is booked up. Sorry!
You obviously don’t know Hillary very well and did not closely follow her campaign like many of us. Hillary is a loyal Democrat who has scruples (imagine that). She will do ONLY what she needs to do for Obama and then she will go about her work in the Senate to help average Americans deal with the mess we are in. As I said before — if you blame anyone, blame the DNC. They mucked up the entire Democratic Presidential primary and handed it on an engraved silver platter to Oblahblah!!!!
You are boring me already, and you’ve only been here half a day.
Predicting the future is fine if you are Nostradamus.
I don’t think you are.
Why don’t you watch things play out.
Then you can pontificate, bith, groan, or cheer to your heart’s content.

PAUL3TRIPLE IS A FRAUD
DO NOT RESPOND

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS MORON “Paul3Triple”….
What is your damn problem Paul3triple. You sound like the damn MSM trying to anticipate what someone will do and say. Hillary promised to campaign as hard as she could to help elect Obama. She said that during the primary (he never reciprocated the offer) and afterward. Me personally after he lied on her and Bill with racism charges, I would have told him to kiss my *ss. Hillary, however unlike Obama will keep her word. Let’s hope she does normal campaigning and not “go after Sarah”. If she does she will be excoriated by the repubs. Now give it a damn rest!!
Makes sense, Obama IS the king of Do-Over.
I LOVE the way they are letting Palin do the cheerleading and McCain stands there looking with that goofy/grows-on-ya humility.
I think we have a winner folks!
(yes we wanted Hillary. But now we must move on)
McCain/Palin ‘08
But now we must move on.
Yes, sjc-tx, it is time to move on to Hillary in 2012.
AMEN, Bert!!!!!!!!
Best deal with reality now dude… But then that speaks to your imaturity and lack of wisdom….

Gee, thanks, registered Republican! Much appreciated your lovely thoughts
Can I just say how much I love this site? I’ve been lurking for several weeks now and I thought it was time I introduce myself (I hope that’s ok).
The media and the left do not understand what it is about Sarah Palin that connects with regular people. I know several women like her, you all know several women like her. She’s real and honest and tough. She is just what this country has been waiting for.
Having said that, just so you all know, I am a McCain supporter who wasn’t really excited about that vote until now. With Palin’s speech on Wednesday night and then McCain’s speech Thursday night, it makes me extremly hopeful that they are really going to shake things up.
Keep fighting the good fight!
McCain/Palin ‘08!
hi Sue
Welcome to a truthful website. We may (and do) disagree on many issues but we know quality and courage and ‘class’ when we see it… we also know it when it isn’t there.
May you rally any and all that you know. I’m supporting the top Republican ticket (cough) for a season. The defeat of Barak is the most important issue.
I voted for DEMS for over 35 years, this year, and until Brazile and Dean are gone, I will be voting straight Republican. I live in Michiganistan and could never support anyone that went along with stealing my vote, these people have no idea what DEMOCRACY means.
Hey Hank!
Buckeyes and Michiganders for Country FIRST … and football second ….
Welcome, Sue! You will soon feel this is home as I do now. It is as close what what I think and feel and observe as any website. Used to be a hard-core Democrat. Was a Hillary supporter. Saw things in the the Democratic party in the last 6 months that broke my heart and shocked me. I now think independently and just TODAY I re-registered as an Independent. Again, a joy to have you join us!
Welcome, sue!
Hi Sue -
She reminds me of…..well….me. I love most everything about her.
this headline is good but i like this one…
McCain TV Ratings Beat Obama in Preliminary Numbers
Presidential candidate John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party’s event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.
http://www.tvweek.com/news/2008/09/mccain_tv_ratings_beat_obama_i.php
I’ve got a fever…
and the only prescription, is more Palin….
Me too!
LOL
Bill Clinton without the brains and, yes, ideas.
Let’s not go overboard. I’m delighted that Palin has eclipsed BO and she should not be attacked on sexist grounds, but she is, at heart, a hard-right conservative with some pretty objectionable views. Comparing her to Big Dawg is wrong and insulting.
I agree, Palin and McCain are a means for the removal of Barry and the far left from my Party.
Their politics are no less objectionable for it.
Exactly, the fairy tales about Palin is eclipsing BO’s. They are very much alike, but Palin is reality-based fantasy, while BO is fatansy-based reality. That is, Palin is made of real, tangible stuff but people are making her into an all-purpose goddess. BO is a creature of fantasy from start to finish, but sold to needy liberals as reality. Palin is better but only in comparison to a sham.
The Democrats will never give Hillary another chance, it will be the same story, second act. Even if women are prepared to go to bat for Hillary, we need a woman in the White House NOW! And don’t say we need a woman, just not that woman. If the AA’s can vote 90% for Obama, why don’t women understand we have that power as well! The Dems just don’t want us to use it! Wake up girls, moms, daughters! This ugliness will only get worse and uglier if Sarah loses or is tainted, tarred and feathered out of this race! Strike while Our Irons Are Hot!
I am with you sweetie!
I don’t disagree with the rest of your post, but “The Democrats will never give Hillary another chance” is false.
Hillary’s fate rest entirely in her hands, not the Party. This time around, she got fooled by turncoats and backstabbers who thought BO would be shoe-in to win in the GE. If she goes for a next round, she would not make the same mistakes again.
Hillary is done. She did her deed. She ran a great race and won but Obama stole our votes in FL, MI, and every other state. She has new PACS which will mean that candidates are no longer dependent on DNC money or back-stabbing NARAL & Emily’s list as a new pac for that will upstage them. Don’t forget to donate before the end of each year.
I got an email for NARAL this morning for a fund raiser. I have supported them through the years, but I went on their site and told them because they betrayed a women running for the highest office in the land and they had betrayed me and I could no longer support them. The NYT’s also got ahold of me today offering me a special price to renew my supscribtion. I also told them no thanks. I’ve cancled, TIME’s Newsweek, Essence, Ebony, Jet, I think I going to be one of the most uninformed people blogging here.
Hillary will never be done…
Four years is 10,000 eternities in politics. Don’t count Hillary out just yet. Many things can happen. Just look at this election year so far.
Last night, when McCain said that he would ask Democrats to be in his cabinet, my husband and I both wondered if he would offer a post to Hillary. More importantly, would she take it?
Savage has a must read today about Obama and Hamas.
It’s also where you can view Pastor Manning’s daily and today’s is interesting.
http://savagepolitics.com
No offense meant, but I just have to say, I hate it when people tell me to wake up. Or grow up. Or, any “up” in general.
I’m awake and if I get any more grown up I’ll be dead.
Just tell them to STFU … that normally helps.
Bill Oreilly’s interview with Obama he said will be hot,,also Bill introuducing Ayer,and Rev Wright back into the picture next week….
Maybe we will find out who the real Obama is..
All next week on Fox,,the Channel for the truth…
I hear some Ummmmmms coming our way.
Love her,Love her, Love her that sly old fox John Mccain pulled off the steal of the campaign with his choice of Sarah Palin. She stole everyones thunder and I can totally relate with her. Hell I’m a lesbian and I love her. She is just what our country needs a good looking hard as nails tough Alaskan woman. Bravo JSM you really snookered the Democrats. I can’t wait for him to introduce her to Washington, Dc. She’s not part of that cluster fuck of bullshit and lies in DC. I don’t think she will let them corrupt her. Thats why our country is so great because we have a treasure trove of undiscovered talent like Palin. She just walked out and took over and proformed superbly. She is truly a breath of fresh air and will be groomed by the master himself JSM.Cindy Mccain was magnificent and will make a compasionate and beautiful first Lady. Oh and by the way if Oprah doesn’t want Sarah on her show I bet Ellen would love to have her on her show.
Ellen is more popular that Oprah now. It would be great to see Sarah on Ellen’s show.
Ellen’s numbers would go through the roof. And I’m glad Opba will not sit down with her. I read on one blog today that Sarah might mistake her for a moose and shot her.
Cindy McCain is awesome. Totally awesome. She wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth but her dad scraped together a loan when Budweiser was just starting and got into the business..
She has not had Plastic surgery..she’s only 54!
Mac orange ties are curious too. he wore an orange one night and a goldish orange on another night..he’s winking at us..
You tell it! I’m a queer male and feel the same. I’ll take honesty, authenticity, and heart over lies, “narrative,” and manipulation any day.
The excitement for Sarah Palin cannot be contained. She is more than a breath of fresh air — she is the fresh air.
Idaho should be so proud,she was born in Idaho..What a gal,,,I hunt and fish,and is an outdoors person,snowmachine,and she is all that..
I’d love to have her in our hunting Party….She looks so down to earth..
North Dakota PUMA here!!
McCain/Palin all the way.
Let’s all fight and knock Obama
back to Chicago. Volunteer, send
money, put up signs in your yard!!!
Obama hires young kids and buses them
all over the place. So we have to get
ready and work!!!
I really don’t know what people are expecting when they talk about Sen Clinton “taking on” Palin. It’s not like they’re going to fight at Madison Square Garden.
If the next several weeks, everybody and their dog will be on TV saying good things about their party and ticket and bad things about the other guys. Sen Clinton will be one of many, and will probably use most her comments to highlight Obama’s positives (what few there are) and McCain and Bush’s negatives, rather than attack Palin specifically.
Excellent comment Tristan. I would add that Hillary will probably be speaking in broad general strokes about the Democratic Party platform and positions. She will not take on Sarah personallu. And if the tables were turned, Palin would go after Hillary. That is politcs folks. Get used to it.
You said it!
I hate it when people say “Obama dispatched” female politicians to “take on” Palin. He sounds like Charlie on Charlie’s Angels.
Hillary is going to make herself look rather foolish, and am sure Palin as smart as she is politically is going to use some of Hillary’s own words back at her.
What is the answer that Hillary will have when Palin points out to her that she did say in the past that Obama only gives good speeches, or that he is not ready to lead.
I still hold the view that Hillary seems to want to do too much for the party maybe she feels she has to at this point, but I do feel she is going to end up hurting her political chances. Palin is no joke she is the real deal, a woman that has sweeping support here and overseas in such a short space of time.
There is something about Palin that is magical and it seems as if many Americans don’t seem to have a problem with having Palin as the first women president, sad to say Hillary once held that distinction but she keeps hanging on to Obama and that is going to be her downfall.
Palin will NOT take HRC on.
She knows:
1. Who is on the ticket vs. who is not.
2. Who is top, who is second.
3. How many days there are until November 4th.
4. What her job is.
5. Reaching out is not done with a fist or a bitch slap but with an extended hand … please see “join us,” verss “where are they going to go?”
Palin will not stand there and let Hillary slam Mc Cain or talk foolishness in support of Obama.
Hillary is the one that is going to look like a total idiot, she is coming out now to support the same man that she told the world will not be ready from day one, how in the hell are you ever going to debunk that?
What Obama instantly go the experience to do the job, he instantly got the answers to everything since he dumped Hillary?
Hillary has already started he idiotic talk in No way, no how, no Mcain/Palin, that is the silliest statement of all, for god sakes there is a time in life you have to stand up for something Hillary knows Obama cannot be good for this country and she should do like Bill and step out gracefully until this is all over, I personally would admire her more.
Speech viewership:
Obama: 37.4m for 10 networks
Palin: 37.2m for 6 networks
McCain: 38.9m
Gov. Palin had 5m more female viewers than Hillary during her convention speech. McCain’s Hispanic viewership was much higher than Obama’s despite his speech not being carried on two major Hispanic networks. Figures above do not include C-SPAN or PBS.
I saw the ratings on http://tvbythenumbers.com/
Big thumbs up to McCain. He deserves it. And to think he pulled those numbers without a stadium, a movie set or popular music groups as opening acts. Wow!
“You can get awful famous in this country in seven days.” – Gary Hart
And you can fall from grace in less than that. Gary Hart knows that from personal expereince.
Yep. There’s just too much still unknown about Sarah Palin to justify anyone being entirely comfortable with her selection yet.
She attended 5 different colleges over a period of 6 years to finally get a BA in journalism. During all that time she seems not to have authored a single article in a single school paper. People are bound to ask some questions about a curious 6-year blank in her personal story.
Then there’s “TrooperGate”, which may be a ticking time-bomb set to detonate sometime in October.
Just how deeply the McCain team really dig? School officials and parties involved in “TrooperGate” are saying no one from the McCain team asked them anything…
I hope Barky makes a point of Palin’s colleges so that we can respond by demanding his records from Columbia and Occidental, as well as his law review article from Harvard. Oh wait, I forgot, he didn’t PUBLISH anything at Harvard despite being president of the law review!
bahahaaahaha
Harry Truman never went to college.
Harry Truman was president 55 years ago. The world has changed somewhat since then.
The president of the Harvard Law Review is an executive and editorial position.
Editors of the review–numbering around 50–don’t actually write the publication’s content–they select and edit submissions received from outside contributors.
So. What is the “budget” for the “business” of the Harvard Business Review? Who loses their job if they go over?
Let me ask you something? Do you really want to compare the freaking HARVARD privileged LAW (as in LAWYERS) REVIEW to a CITY where real, hard working AMERICANS live, work and raise families? This is humor, right?
If this came from the campaign, they are conceding defeat two months out. That I can assure you.
No, I wasn’t actually holding president of the Harvard Law Review out as a part of Obama’s experience. I was pointing out that his position there was executive and editorial as opposed to authorial, to explain why the Review contained no articles he had personally written. Writing articles simply wasn’t his job.
If I were making comparisons above, I’d have stuck to a comparison of academic backgrounds. Something tells me that Obama’s academic achievements likely exceed those of the republican vice presidential candidate. We know nothing about hers, however. Only that 6 years and 5 schools is a long way about to a BA degree. There might be a perfectly good explanation. Maybe she just likes frequent changes of scenery. Maybe she couldn’t carry a full schedule of classes because she had to work to pay her way. My only concern has to do with the lack of an explanation. Maybe she’ll rememdy that.
Maybe she had to work to pay for school and went where the jobs were.Not everyone can afford to go to elite schools.
Writing was also above his pay grade apparently! Bwahahahaha. All Previous President’s of the Harvard Law Review wrote pieces…..Oh that’s right. Barky is “special”
There is no way that Hillary is going to bash Sara Palin. She may campaign for Barry and talk about Repulican policies versus the Dem’s policies, but we know Hillary better than that to play this sexist game that the Barry camp and the Barry media are playing. Hillary is a strong woman and she would never say these horrible things that people are saying about Sara Palin. I am appauled at how people of the media are questioning whether or not Sara is a fit mother let alone a fit VP. My vote goes to McCain/Palin in November. McCain was going to get my vote since Hillary was “unselected” as the nominee, but since he picked Palin, I am actually excited about seeing McCain and Palin win.
“Barack Obama is about as exciting as last year’s fashions, 90% off, at Value Village.”
This is what I overheard today at a pharmacy across the street from Columbia University in NYC: two young women, obviously new students, both sporting big Obama buttons pinned to their shoulder bags, chatting as they waited for prescriptions. One said, “I wish they made these buttons in different colors.” She pointed to her outfit. “You know, so they could MATCH.” The other said, “Really. I mean, like, EVERYONE’S got one like this.”
I am not exaggerating a word of this.
I believe you. It doesn’t surprise me a bit.
Susan, thanks for the current info!
I’m still reading articles about the “non vetting”.
An attorney made a press release about their process, and Cindy stated on PBS that she met Sarah several times!
The media got caught with their pants down on this one! Just got to love it!!!
Cindy is at least as qualified as Caroline to vet a VP!
You got that right..
Barack Obama knows he’s “just so yesterday!” It’s got to be killing him.
Let’s place bets . . . does BHO behave like a petulant Prince Charles when it became clear the world loved Diana and not him?
Perfect analogy.
Maybe Obama should start wearing glasses and change his hair style.
Obama was never a viable or desirable choice to represent the free world.

What’s the difference between a pit-bull and a hockey-mom? Lipstick. — Sarah Palin
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/05/earlyshow/printable4418621.shtml
I’m thrilled with McCain and Palin. I left the Democratic Party and will be voting for a Republican ticket for the first time. From the beginning I ranked the candidates Clinton, McCain. I would have voted for Nader before I voted for Obama. I hope we get a strong Democratic Congress and McCain/Palin in the White House.
I wonder if the company that made the HRC nutcrackers would make an Obama turkey baster! I’d love to hear Keith Olbermann and John Stewart on that little “conversation-making” nick knack….
I also hope that Oprah has taken Michelle out shopping for tiaras just yet. I’ve got a feeling they might have to return them….for store credit.
Love the turkey baster…lol
Maybe a toy robot Obamatron named “Fluffer” for the collection, as well.
Couldn’t agree more when I read that; I felt: I could have written that myself… thank you, thank you….. McCain/Palin08
first, I am not an ease dropper. Two women at the airport today were doing business, not in soft voices, with each other and on the phone. They mentioned they would need a picture of McCain. they said they would get an actress (initials J.O.) and 10 fabulous girls…but not celebrites….and definitly lots of media. Something about Murphy Brown…
If something comes up where they produce pictures of McCain with women not his wife I hope you will contact his campaign. It sounds like they are plotting something.
No, I don’t think it was anything nasty, but just a thing with Diane English and Julia Ormond with “ten fabulous women, but not celebs” and something with the media…
I can’t believe that you people are falling for
this fraud. Even if you have great reservations
about Obama, Palin is a right winger.
At least all of you have something in common with Obama
when it comes to policy.
All of you should remember,
-Palin is forcing her daughter to have a child
she does not want.
-Palin called Obama “sambo”.
-Palin supported the brigde to nowhere.
-Palin is anti choice.
-Palin is a racist.
-Palin if for murdering more US Troops.
-McCain used to assault his own wife and children
[ADMINISTRATOR: NONE OF THIS PROVEN BY YOU WITH ANY CITATIONS. FOR THIS AND NUMEROUS OTHER UGLY COMMENTS WITHOUT ANY MERIT, YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED.]
At least you got this part right.
[ADMINISTRATOR: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.]
Barack who?
Last night I received my FIRST phone call to participate in a poll regarding politics.
I live in Montgomery County a suburb of Philadelphia and a highly contested place every election.
The poll started out asking what party I belonged to and I said Democrat. The questions started with favorable/unfavorable about Ed Rendell, the PA Democrat party, local politicans .. then threw John McCain in there. .I asked where did that come from, the person said she didn’t know b/c the questions are generated automatically and they don’t control them.
I said extremely favorable. Well, it got interesting from there. It began to smear our local Republican (woman) politican who has been in office since 2000. They all but accused her of killing babies and puppies. It was laughable to the point the woman surveying me was laughing too. T
They said that this incumbent republican woman’s first item after being elected was to overturn R v Wade and make abortions a crime. They also made a point of linking her to ‘George W Bush and Dick Cheney’ .. it was so obvious who was sponsoring this poll it was laughable.
They then went on to ask my opinion of her democrat challenger (man). They made him seem Obama like – he was going to solve every possible issue and even take out my trash
After we went through numerous things with those 2 candidates, it went to the Presidental election. Wanted to know if the election were tomorrow, would I vote for McCain or Obama and I answered McCain.
Sorry for the long post but I want everyone to hear that Obama is obviously running scared in PA and seems all his fellow democrats are a bit concerned as well!
PA will be McCain/Palin Country!
And, oh by the way Bambi .. it’s the NITTANY LIONS you fool!
I hope you are right about PA going for McCain/Palin.
That would be such a wakeup call to the Democratic Party. Assuming to own anyone’s votes as the Democratic leadership has done regarding PA is extremely arrogant. Pride comes before the fall, right?
He’s never been anything more than the left wing version of Bush to me. Just another asshole peddling snake oil.
Translation: You’re on your own, sweetie.
OT
The thought of a possible election of John McCain and Sarah Palin has given me hope for America. I know we live in perilous times, I know too if they are leading our country that they would fight with everything they have to preserve and improve our country. The putting aside party to come together by the people here, and elsewhere, in order to defeat corruption gives me hope as well.
It is too soon to be elated. The caucus fraud showed us how dirty it will be. The attacks on Sarah are outrageous. They are now digging into her colleges.
Let us all pray in our own way for protection for John and Sarah. Washington doesn’t want to get shaken up. But lets do our part to insure that it happens.
I look forward to Obama getting beaten and I am happy for Sarah Palin to be quite popular. Nevertheless, I would prefer Senator Clinton for President and based on a Rasmussen poll, she would beat Palin easily. She would beat Obama easily. She would beat McCain easily.
Sad thing is that you can count on Democrats to spoil their own party…
Steve, you are so right. The DNC had the opportunity to field the best possible candidate, Hillary Clinton. Thanks Howard, Donna, Nancy and the rest of the DNC fools for mucking things up for the Dems yet again! What a shame…
This hype from BO’s team about what a great guy Biden is while Palin isn’t, because she doesn’t agree with all of their views, has one huge problem–Biden. He is not a great guy. Remember he is the one who allowed Clarence Thomas to get on the Supreme Court, because he cut off testimony from women who were ready to corroborate Anita Hill’s claims. (See “Strange Justice.”) Also NARAL has ranked Biden 37% on his voting record in support of pro-choice issues. Finally, Delaware is so favorable in its policies and laws for corporations that it is one of the most polluted states in the country and many, many corporations have their headquarters in Delaware to take advantage of the pro-business, anti-worker laws.
I’m sick of the smears from such obviously second-rate people and political servants as Obama and Biden.
I disagree with positions held by McCain and Palin, but I’m supporting them because they actually have done something to stop all the corruption and influence by lobbyists that has cost our government so much money and robbed us of good representation. They have acted responsibly and like mature adults….
Remember it is a Democrat, Chris Dodd, who is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. It is he who has refused to investigate hedge funds and he has not reigned in credit card companies or supported consumer rights in the bankruptcy laws and other issues that have cost some people to commit suicide, not to mention lose all of their life-savings and homes….
Just happened to have an appointment today with my eye doctor so I could not resist asking about Sarah Palin style frames. The gal who does the frame orders did not know what I was talking about at first but they she got it and said she was going to look into it for me. Frames are about $375 plus prescription lenses; she said a pair would be about $700. I forgot the name of the maker but I believe it was European. FYI.
ABC (6 million viewers) and CBS (5.3 million) pushed CNN into fifth place with 4.8 million viewers. MSNBC averaged 2.5 million.
LOL, Love it.MSNBC is losing viewers.I wonder why they are last as most viewed.Msnbc did it to themselves by their Bisa ways.You think they will have anyway of telling the truth of Palin withut trying to and then have a tactic saying in the same breath.Chuck Todd was a complete ass.Saying he thought McCains speech was not nothing.And guess what Chuck Todd,Mccain beat Obama and Palin beat McCain.Palin is called the most watch and people are loving her.I’m loving Palin.She is something.I love her personility,Her strnght,Her sprit and her go get’er taken down her own corrupted people in her own party.And she will continue to do so.
GO McCain GO Palin 08
Talking about glasses.Sarah Palin lose her glasses and the people went WILE in trying to find her classes so they will have her classes.That’s how much Sarah Palin has a real effect on people.I am 28 years old and I say Palin is HOT.If she wasn’t married,I will ask her to marry me.
John McCain & Sara Palin 08
