The fact that she has a pregnant teen-aged daughter is NOT news, it is salacious gossip. But this IS news...

-the fact that she's being investigated by the State of Alaska on charges of abuse of power, involving SEVERAL instances where according the special prosecutor in which she may have been complicit, which are substantially more serious that she had first led the McCain camp to believe IS news.(abuse of power/dishonesty)

- the fact that Gov. Palin has taken $27 million in earmarks IS news; (pandering/corruption)

"Rasmussen now showing Obama ahead 6 point lead over McCain (with leaners). Now over 50% in that poll."

Ooh, over 50% and a 6 pt lead... Whoopdidoo! Obama's "convention bounce" is the smallest in recent history. How is this exciting? He's now where Hillary Clinton was polling before the convention after suspending her campaign for two months.

NOT IMPRESSIVE.

How the heck can anyone with a single ounce of common sense support McBush? I really do not get how anyone could be so blinded by stupidity.

"Is she really the best Rep VP candidate
they could find?'

And we all know that Barry is not the best that the Dems could have nominated.

"It's sad day in American politics when #1 DNC nominee is comparing himself to #2 RNC pick. Obama now thinks, running for presidency itself is a qualification to be fit for that office."

Great post Frieda.

Coale is married to Greta VanSustern of FOX News. She was biased towards Sen. Clinton in the primary. This makes total sense. Sen. Clinton didn't do a good job managing her campaign. A few pundits made some sexist comments, but that's not why she lost. Coale sounds like he's pouting about his own loss of power.

What is wrong with the people in PA? I am so proud that he has supported McCain in the election. How can Pennsylvanians turn their back on one of their own after how her and her husband were treated by the Democratic party? This is a disgrace! PA should be neck and neck for Obama and McCain as Ohio is neck and neck. What is wrong with you people in PA? How can you turn your back on one of your own? Hillary may have given a rousing speech at the convention and so did her husband but you have to know it was because of the arm twisting the Democratic party did to the both of them. You should still boycott the Dems and vote for McCain. What message will voting for Obama send them? That it is okay for them to single anyone out like the clintons and tear them apart and that there will be no retribution for that kind of behavior. A vote for McCain will tell them to NEVER do that again to anyone and to get their act together and return to the principles of the past. Look at how the Obama supporters have behaved in front of the convention for the GOP. They overturned dumpsters onto police cars, etc. And, Obama is not even elected yet. Can you imagine what it will be like if he gets elected. I implore you to rethink who you will be voting for in November and to cast your vote for McCain and Palin!

mccain showed just how serious he is about the presidency with an unvetted vp pick...

mccain has zero judgment to be the presidency

Man Bites Dog. Thanks, Jake!

"running for presidency itself is a qualification to be fit for that office."

Actually it is.

During the primary process, we are able to see how candidates handle small crisis situations and manage a large organizations. They are vetted as things come out about their life story thru the press and their opponents in addition to the image they present.

Palin has been governor for as long as McCain has been running for President in this election.

I am so happy to see that a Clinton supporter is not going to vote for that thug Obama. I was so disappointed to see that some of HIllary's supporters now say they will vote for Obama. It is a disgrace for them to support that sexist thug! However, Obama got a bounce from the convention, but, now the Republican convention will take place and I'm sure McCain and Palin will get a bounce from it. Let's go blue collars, women, etc. who were Hillary supporters. How is voting for Obama going to send a clear message that we will not tolerate women being treated so badly and that we will not tolerate them restructuring our beloved Democratic party? The message that send them is that they can do what they please and that we will all fall in line like sheep being led to the slaughter. PLEASE RECONSIDER AND THINK BEFORE VOTING FOR OBAMA! PLEASE!

It's sad day in American politics when #1 DNC nominee is comparing himself to #2 RNC pick. Obama now thinks, running for presidency itself is a qualification to be fit for that office.

Sarah's pick has "checkmated" the Dems that they do know how to react intelligintly.

Ironic that McCain and right wingers are calling for restraint and privacy while lambasting those who went after the family.

In 2000, Republicans spread rumors about McCain. Saying that his 2 year old adopted daughter from Bangladesh was in fact an illegitimate African American baby.

McCain just hired this guy to work on his campaign.

He has no honor.

Hillary was a strong tough woman that fought for things she believed in yet everyone, even the Democrats, tried to shut her down.

Similarly, McCain and Palin have fought against their own party but it seems people like pretty speeches and stupid gaffes.

Palin is a Maverick, Very right wing supporter of earmarks & corrupt Republicans, and most importantly flip flops exactly like McCain!(She Her other points of interests are Abuse of powers, Secession of Alaska from U.S. member of Alaska Independence Party, not a clue on foreign policy or even an interest in it.16 month Executive expierience as governor. President Bush has 71/2 years executive expierience as president. executive expierience is not a guarantee of intelligence, judgement or political fitness.

Is she really the best Rep VP candidate
they could find?

McCain is displaying his lack of judgement for the whole country to see.

Outrageous that McCain would put his personal ambitions ahead of the best interests of America! Shameful & Dangerous is McCain!

Rasmussen now showing Obama ahead 6 point lead over McCain (with leaners). Now over 50% in that poll.

Also USA Today's poll shows Obama up 7 points(also above 50%).

Hotline shows Obama up 9 points.

And the CBS poll shows him up 8 points.

The sun is shining, Obama is up in the polls and the McCain campaign is imploding over its incompetent VP pick. Today is going to be a good day.

Feminism:

1st off, the first amendment does not apply here as its a blog owned by a business. Not the public square.

2ndly, be glad that Jake is taking out all the racist stuff being posted by your fellow Republicans.

"They think if they run with McCain they will gain and keep their Washington big shot status this way."

Bingo! These handful of disgruntled supporters are looking to continue their time on the party teat.

"Have you seen these attacks on Sarah Palin, they are shameful."

Which attacks?

The ones on her extreme right wing views?

The ones on her cluelessness about the world and the job the VP does?

Or her abusing the power of her office for political and personal reasons?

This has nothing to do with the party or Obama's abilities, so much as it has to do with movers and shakers losing influence.
These are the old FOBs (friends of Bill's) from the 90s who came to power and influence with the clintons and who depend on the Clinton's control of the party and success for their own.
With Hillary's loss and the democratic party now being Obama's, these people are panicked and terrified.
They think if they run with McCain they will gain and keep their Washington big shot status this way.
They know they won't with Obama, who has his own network of people who will be the movers and shakers now in the democratic end of Washington.
