    Hey y'all...that don't matter! She's a maverick and a babe! Vote for Miss Moosekill!

    Maverick and a babe....that would be in layman's terms a baby cow and a piglet (i.e., cow and a pig). Now I can see why more republican men like her than women, better sex.

    Fmr. Bush Supporter Mayor Ed Koch Switches to Obama, Cites Palin As Main Reason

    I have concluded that the country is safer in the hands of Barack Obama, leader of the Democratic Party and protector of the philosophy of that party. Protecting and defending the U.S. means more than defending us from foreign attacks. It includes defending the public with respect to their civil rights, civil liberties and other needs, e.g., national health insurance, the right of abortion, the continuation of Social Security, gay rights, other rights of privacy, fair progressive taxation and a host of other needs and rights.

    If the vice president were ever called on to lead the country, there is no question in my mind that the experience and demonstrated judgment of Joe Biden is superior to that of Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is a plucky, exciting candidate, but when her record is examined, she fails miserably with respect to her views on the domestic issues that are so important to the people of the U.S., and to me. Frankly, it would scare me if she were to succeed John McCain in the presidency.

    --The Hon. Ed Koch, Former Mayor of New York City, who endorsed Bush in 2004

    Yes, why does Palin have to have her training wheels off, just to give some solid interviews, if she is qualified and experienced enough to be VP?

    Biden did not hesitate to do so.

    She reminds me so much of Bush, in his early days, inexperienced, and could not put a few sentences together (still does).

    Even her friends don't say they will vote for her. Alarm bells should ring at this point.

    Alot of hand wringing from Democrats and I don't know why. Why would anyone get fearful over McGramps and Palin? I got more faith in the sheep this time around. It is still the economy and people vote their pocketbook. If times were good they would have a shot, not this time.

    I would agree with you but we are living in a country where two-thirds of the people are brain dead.
  • gwpriester · 1 year ago
    It is good to keep asking when will she be ready and to remind her that Joe Biden, who has been in the senate for several decades, was ready from day one.
  • woodroad34 · 1 year ago
    One has to wonder if she was aware of her place on the VP shortlist. If she wasn't, why did she agree; if she was aware, why didn't she do her boning up beforehand instead of waiting until now? She's as lazy as Bush is...powermad shrew (as opposed to Powermad-Shrub), but not a leader.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    B-b-BUT! The corporate media and the McCain campaign say she's got a record approval rating in her home state! Over 80%, That's one of the reasons McCain picked her! Why does the ADN HATE popular hockey moms?! Why does the ADN HATE America, and ALL American women, by raising these questions?!
  • Gorgonzola · 1 year ago
    I understand why Sarah doesn't want to face tough questions. Obviously, she is a superficial airhead. What I don't understand is the passive, submissive attitude of the press about her ducking them. Would they let Obama get away with it?
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    NO, they wouldn't let Obama get away with it? Sooner or later, one of them will grow a pair.

    And when I'm a citizen of the U.S., I demand good leadership from ALL candidates. I betcha Donald Trump would say "You're Fired!".

    This should be an ad played in critical states tomorrow. Then see what happens on the Thursday puff piece interview.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    Isn't it unbelievable that the tough, gun toting, moose hunter, who stood up to the good ole boys, and who has this remarkable experience on foreign intelligence, because she lives next to Russia, has to be trained, and have those training wheels off, before she can answer a few questions?

    What will she do when Putin wants to meet her? Take her husband to hold her hand? She is an embarrassment to all women.
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    Sage24, i was just thinking the same thing. I can't imagine the press giving a man a pass like the one being demanded by the McCain campaign. As a woman, I am utterly embarrassed.
  • Wild_Weasel · 1 year ago
    Sarah Palin's playing "Where's Waldo" with the press corps.
  • woodroad34 · 1 year ago
    I guess the paparazzi aren't as impressed with her. They're usually very good at hound-dogging people.
  • Wild_Weasel · 1 year ago
    SARAH, oh SARAH . . . . come out, come out, wherever you are. Let's play Meet the Press.

    Have you no guts to face journalists without reading from a script written by NeoCon staff?

    McCain Rally to Move From Fairfax School After Outcry

    Fairfax County school officials said that a rally scheduled tomorrow for Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, will be moved from Fairfax High School, following protests from some School Board members and parents that the event would violate school system policy.

    The decision to move the event was made by the McCain campaign, Fairfax schools spokesman Paul Regnier said.

    Late in the afternoon, the McCain campaign announced that the rally will be held at Van Dyck Park in Fairfax County and that people will begin assembling at 8 a.m. An e-mail from the campaign said that the Fairfax High field house, which can hold as many as 6,500 people, was not big enough.

    A statement from the McCain campaign did not address the controversy.

    "Due to the overwhelming response from voters in Virginia, the space at the field house at Fairfax High School will no longer be able to hold everyone who wants to attend this rally," the campaign said. "We have had double the amount of people respond than we originally expected. In order to accommodate everyone, we need to move the event to a location we are working on now."

    McCain just never tells the truth
  • JohnInTexas · 1 year ago
    Yes and having it outside it won't be as obvious if only half the crowd they anticipate shows up. It would be obvious in a high school gym and hard to hide. McNoBalls tries to snowball again.

    8am in Fairfax on a work day. That will be just lovely for morning rush hour. Hope a lot of undecideds are stuck in traffic and have time to make up their minds...
  • woodroad34 · 1 year ago
    They should also ask her why she's for shredding the Constituion. Barack sure is: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008...

    As Obama says: "These People"
  • curlytoes79 · 1 year ago
    Obama's camp needs to start using the "sexism card" phrase. "Every time you try to ask Palin a question, her campaign plays the sexism card. It's getting old." Hey, if complaints about the "race card" worked to keep Obama quiet...
