Thats good to hear. I also noticed watching there campaign stops that her daughter is always the one taking care of the baby and watching on the bus. My Wife actulley pointed this out first so I started looking and this is not a far fetched theory. She also only missed 3 days from work. I work as HR and I know that women who just had baby's don't come back in 3 days. Especiallky if the child might be special needs.

The baby thing is very personal. And I don't see the wing-nuts zealots getting worked over a mama taking care of a daughter, even if it meant lying for a daughter.
The focus should reamin on McCain, Let the media interview her about qualifications, also, if she is qualified, she will come across as so in the debate, you can't fake national security, not with Joe Biden, no way! AND if she can, then she must be really good, many are saying do not underestimate this women.

Suppose I get raped, and I can't get an abortion because she and her freaks have managed to overturn Roe. That's personal. I can't get married because I'm a queer and people like her don't think I'm good enough to deserve a full set of civil rights. That's personal. Is it just me or are the people who are saying these allegations are 'personal' just people who aren't affected by the policies or potential policies of people like Palin.
If there is any truth to this rumor, it's pretty obvious that the mother isn't 'taking care of the daughter'. Protecting the daughter and taking care of her would mean turning down the nomination so as to PROTECT the daughter from national exposure. No one knows how this story will pan out, but one thing is clear and that Palin is a habitual liar (she even claimed not to wear fur and up pops a photo of her wearing a big ol fur coat) and irrationally ambitious for someone who claims to be 'traditional' and 'conservative'. I am so sick of these far-right hypocritical bitties telling every other woman how to live while they themselves break every rule in the book that members of their purity committee have written. Palin has done nothing but, from her shotgun wedding to going back to work 3 days after the birth of her 'son'. It's not the sex, it's the lying and it's the hypocrisy. It's a pattern with her, and it righteously stinks.

You idiots...don't you get it. She's a pawn. The more you attach her by showing these clips of how weak a candidate she is, will only increase her popularity with the base on the fence sitters. The McCain strategy with this pick is to get the media to eat her up and pay little attention to background. As dems attack, they will be shown as attacking the Joeshpehia-six-pack, gun toting, every-woman that the repubs are going to paint her as. The best thing would be to focus solely on McCain and ignore her completely. Otherwise, they're going to get flattened in the repub counter.

In order to be a Bush/McCain “Republican”, you have to be willing to suspend your belief in reason, intelligence, honesty and morality. You have to be self-deluding, willfully ignorant, dishonest and hypocritical. Anyone who believes that John McCain believes Sarah Polin is the most qualified Republican to be the President of the United States in the the event he dies or becomes incapacitated, needs to recognize that what John McCain is trying to sell Americans is that Joe Lieberaman, Tom Ridge, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul and Lindsey Graham and every Republican Senator and Representative in Congress are ALL LESS QUALIFIED to be President than Sarah Polin is. To believe that, you have to be irrational, stupid, gullible and or a liar!

Something funny to laugh about.
Cindy McCain says Palin has international experience because she lived close to Russia. Why do rethuglicans have such dumb people in their party? No wonder they cannot vote intelligently.
To be fair, Cindy confused which Fox "news" person she was supposed to get her talking points from. Instead of Rove, she quoted Doocey. Rove would have touted her experience covering hockey which is an international sport.

Our prospective Vice-President, whose son is about to be deployed to Iraq: 'I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments.'
A younger version of McSame, complete with little contact with the real world? I have no problems with moose burgers: venison is like smaller moose, but the no-abortion-even-when mother's-life-is threatened - even South Dakota is a bit unstable on that one. WHAT were Rove and co. thinking?

Sarah Palin and her family are pimps for the oil industry.
You can produce a gallon of oil quicker by (1) conserving, (2) introducing fuel efficient vehicles, (3) finding alternatives.
Sarah Palin and her family have received over one hundred thousand dollars over the years from the Alaska Permanent Fund. That fund collects fees from the Alaska oil businesses and pays out a dividend check for every man, woman and child in Alaska. Every Year!! In effect, that policy bribes the Alaskans to favor drilling over conservation.
Sarah Palin does not care about "demand side management" of oil, only "supply side management" (i.e. drilling).
Drilling won't produce a gallon of oil for nearly a decade.
Conservation and new technologies produce payoffs far quicker.
Sarah Palin's husband works for a foreign oil company.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATIC RESEARCHERS:
Ask the Alaska Permanent Fund how much Sarah Palin and her family have received since the program started.
That program jacks up fuel costs in the lower 48 so it can pay a dividend check to every man, woman, and child living in Alaska . . . including temporary GIs and others.
Want lower fuel costs, CUT OUT the Alaska Permanent Fund program.

Will everyone PLEASE lay off Palin. She’s a sweet kid, a great point guard and can make baby formula is 5 seconds with her eyes closed while shooting a moose with her baby pink AK47. She’s a great gal, who might not even get arrested in her “Troopergate,” “abuse of power,” ethics problem. In addition, the “city” er “town” er “whatever” it was she was the “Mayor” of should be out from under the $20,000,000.00 debt she left them holding sometime in the next 40 or 50 years. Hey, what's $3,000.00 debt for every man, woman and child - by Republican standards - it’s practically a gift!
She is so far outside the mainstream that her abilities and or the lack of them, is just not an issue. She’s a Creationist, anti-choice dinosaur EVEN in the cases of rape, incest and when the mother could die! In fact she’s against birth control - even against condom use by married couples.
The ONLY issue about her is, “How on earth could 4 time cancer survivor John McCain have so little judgment as to think, even for a split second, that this woman was qualified to be a heartbeat away from being AMERICA’S President.
John - you’re not a “Maverick” you’re a “Buffoon.”

My favorite moments of the video are when she says Purdue is "killing" Michigan and refers to a comeback "in the fourth," as in fourth quarter. No self-respecting sports anchor would use the word "kill." And college basketball is played in halves, not quarters. Oh, she also blew the pronunciation of Purdue's home court. Mackey is such a tough name to get right.
Obviously, this is small potatoes. But it's telling that she couldn't even get the basics right for this.
