Does this mean Palin would command the Alaskan War of Succession?

hopelesspedant · 1 year ago

Let's say Howard Dean had been our 2004 nominee.

And his campaign tried to that about him.

I rest my case.

I can see McCain doing a 180, dropping Palin and adding independent Alaska to the Axis of Evil...
I hear Palin bought souvenir aluminum tubes in Dayton.

I saw Campbell Brown eviscerate Tucker Bounds on CNN in that interview. I was surprised that Campbell was so aggressive considering who her husband is.

Rob Mule · 1 year ago

Knowing their own behavior is coming under more scrutiny, the webs, fearful of further audience erosion, are faking the occasional orgasm of truth or its generic equivalent...

BorninUSA · 1 year ago

Tucker Bounds has to be the stupidist repug we know. How can he straight faced keep repeating this crap about palin? How can he sleep at night? But we can say that about most repugs. In his shoes they couldn't pay me enough to go on TV and try to make that case for palin. Again......do they think we Democrats are that dumb? that gullible? Do they think the repugs are that dumb? that gullible? I just don't understand how they can keep doing it. A lie is a lie is a lie!

houstonray · 1 year ago

Color me uninformed, who is Campbell Brown's hubby?

And watching this I was dumbfounded how aggressive a member of the MSM is was against a McCain staffer, I was shocked too. Good for her.

BorninUSA · 1 year ago

Campbell is married to Dan Senor, a republican consultant and a regular on FOX News.

houstonray · 1 year ago

I didn't know that....thanks!! Try to avoid FOX at all costs, but I think I know who he is....wonder what he'll say when she gets home tonight?? Haha

2 points:

1. Republicans would rather have a Commander in Chief than a President.

2. The delay of the convention is supposedly to show concern over Gustav, but may well signal a rebellion in the GOP ranks over a non-vetted VP, and an attempt to replace at least on person on the ticket. don't be surprised if Palin withdraws in order to go home and "care" for her daughter.

houstonray · 1 year ago

I've been saying that for a couple of days now. Not sure if they would take that chance but if she does leave, you know if typical Republican fashion to "spend more time with their family", I would be very nervous about who they might get (i.e. a "really" strong female candidate)...

1-Yes, they want Patton for Pres.

2- You may be right.

I wish I had done it but I wouldn't know how. The funny thing is I voted just a few minutes before posting it here and next thing I know it says the poll closed at 5pm est. How f'n pathetic the gopers are

Albatross1 · 1 year ago

It does! and I got Palin 100%, Biden 0%

Riiiiight....

It also says now that palin is 100%, Biden 0%!!!!!!

houstonray · 1 year ago

Wow I voted earlier today and it was 94% Biden 6% Palin!

Holy cow, AND they altered the results. Wow, how pathetic is that...

Funny too that they made it 100%...They didn't even have the balls to make it maybe 90% Palin/10%Biden, nope, 100%...P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C

catdance · 1 year ago

Yeah, I voted a couple of hours ago and it said Palin 100% Biden 0% then. They are such pitiful losers.

Have they put the moose recipes up on the McCain/Palin web site yet?

Good going Campbell, you actually managed to ask reporter type questions.

houstonray · 1 year ago

I RARELY email a comment to a news person, but I felt this was worthy, so I sent her a note and thanked her for asking the hard question for a change...

vwcat · 1 year ago

McCain did not vet Palin and knew very little about her. His staff knows less.
This was a glitz move and to pacify the base.
But, base or not, whether she is qualified or not, the ultimate responsibility falls on McCain. It is the responsibility of the presidential candidate to vet who he picks for veep and he failed. He failed and he showed extremely poor judgment.
And that is what a commander in chief test is about.
On the other hand Obama did one of the most intensive vettings known in Washington. So, who is really ready to be c in c and can pass that test.

Hannah · 1 year ago

1) Exactly what executive experience does John McCain possess?

2) Judgment and Temperament are the two qualities upon which we should pick our next president. Obama passes with flying colors and McCain FLUNKS.

3) Tucker Bounds - I could use his name in a sentence "My friend's dog Tucker bounds across the grass to fetch the frisbee." OK, that was mean, but I really do have a friend with an energtic dog named Tucker.

We now have more missing persons and photos. Vicki Iseman, McCain's lobbyist pal has gone " missing" and none are searching for her. The Christmas photo of the Palins has gone missing from her web page just days before the pregnancy story came out. Those who had seen it before it was scrubbed said it certainly showed a pregnant Bristol. The McCain campaign has become a top=rated soap opera.

Sigh.

I'm really proud of Sarah Palin.

She's inspiring to everyone who is mediocre. Indeed, no matter how screwed up your family and personal life, no matter how corrupt you are, no matter how lightweight, you too can become a governor, a Commander in Chief, and maybe even a Vice President!

You go girl!

I'm mediocre and inexperienced. Maybe I can become Alaska's governor too!

In the mean time I can vote for Grouchy and Vapid in '08 instead of Hope and Experience!

Niclole Wallace on ABC with Katie Couric, just blamed the Democratic blogs for "forcing their hands" in announcing the 17 yr's old out of wedlock kid. HELLO, you were going to keep it a secret so daddy Dobson didn't throw fire and brimestone at her.

She furthered called the Democratic blogs nasty and vicious and blames THEM for bringing politics down and creating new lows. Uh, again HELLO when you substitue "rock star" for charisma I guess that is okay.

And that was the daughters baby?
And the daughter really isn't pregnant?

Rob Mule · 1 year ago

Considering the whole Jerry Springeresque dinosaur thing and the fringe succession thing Palin should have blamed the baby on alien insemination or Todd...

aquarius2 · 1 year ago

Don't know and don't care. I do care about the fact that the Republicans have a way of spinning and spinning the truth until it is unrecognizable. They spew venom and then cry like babies when it comes back and bites them in the ass.

Where is the National Enquirer when they are needed most? Seend a reporter up to Alaska and you will find enough material for months. The Palin selection requires outside investigators now. STEP UP NOW ENQUIRER!

On a different topic, CINDY MCCAIN CALLS FOR ALL AMERICANS TO COME TOGETHER TO HELP THE HURRICANE VICTIMS.

Hell, why stop with the victims of a weak hurricane that didn't come close to Katrina.

How about all Americans coming together for the following as well:

- 47 million Americans who have no health insurance.
- Americans who are seeing their jobs shipped overseas, and they lack the work skills to find new jobs.
- Americans who are losing their pensions.
- Americans who are working for "minimum wage" which is insufficient to make ends meet.
- American middle class who can't afford to send their kids to college.
- Corporate tax loopholes that push costs of government down on those who can least afford them.
- Stem cell research that offers the potential to cure major diseases.

I am so glad to FINALLY see a journalist ask pertinent questions and attempt to obtain rational and coherent answers. Too bad she couldn't get any. I do have to give Tucker credit though, he turned himself into a veritable verbal pretzel to avoid giving an answer to the question regarding any decisions Palin made as "commander in chief" of the national guard. Keep it up Campell, we may just be seeing the media slowly awakening from an 8 year coma...

While the media is feeding on the Dobson anointed "Blessed Sarah" who would be VP and all her "miracles"...

The real story about a real feminine hero Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow! being arrested in Minnesota doing what the media should be doing - reporting - has gone tragically un-noticed.

Amy and her crew were in the twine cities covering the events at the RNC convention. Reporting on the protests by those with the strength and courage to care in action. Not just words.

Call everyone you know. Do not let this outrage stand.

Ereshkigal · 1 year ago

Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard... said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

In other words, the McCain people have no idea at all of the structure and operation of the United States security and military forces. The Republicans have "national security" advantage?

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

i love this. usually Campbell gets on my nerves and tends to function as a GOP puppet. but this is fabulous!

"You are holding Obama to a higher standard than your candidate."

that's what I have been saying. they hold black/brown folks to a higher standard.

The fundies hold themselves to a lower standard than they do us non-church going folks.

I'm feeling like she is going to be forced out soon.

ydthin · 1 year ago

it's possible she's functioning as a GOP puppet here too. When the talking heads start hammering their own, it's usually on marching orders from the higher ups because they have something up their sleeves. This is starting to give me the creeps.

ydthin · 1 year ago

I'd not seen that video and my first thought was, why is Palin not wearing a suit coat or something to make her look at least somewhat professional and then I realized it's because they are making sure her breasts are on camera, just like when Katherine Harris would turn to the side during tv interviews to show her silhouette. Republicans are scum.

LisaLV711 · 1 year ago

The Repugs have lied so much to the public and to themselves for so long, that they actually believe the words that come out of their mouths. They are simply incapable of answering any questions because they don't understand them. They don't interview well, but they write a Hell of a resume.

Wesinoregon · 1 year ago

I saw this live and loved it... I was asking the next question to myself, then SHE would ask the exact same one to him. She would not let him off the hook. She did the same thing to Bay Buchanan last week and they both were going after it. She has really come to the forefront lately.

My son-in-law is in the Navy, I help take care of his wife and children. It only follows that I could help command an aircraft carrier. See how simple it is.

The repubes are right you nasty ol' democrats are thinking for yourselves way too much.
