"God Help America" when we spend months upon months trying to dig up medical records of Sarah Palin when Obama's birth certificate isn't even public. Once again, "God Help America".

Fox news reports Black Panthers intimidating voters at Philladelphia polls.

New Hampshire is not allowing Republican pollsters near registrations, ordering them to stay 40 feet away.

I smell illegal, and fraudulent practices. For shame for shame.

Jeanie, the obama people wouldn't do a thing like this. HA!! They want him in the WH so bad they will do anything. His close friends are such fine upstanding Americans. HA..HA.. Wait and see what happens, we will be wanting another impeachment very soon, only this time we can hope he will be totally removed. He is playing basketball today.. There goes the Rose Garden.

Well it's a moot point now, isn't it?

I'd like to think this was fine, but Cathy Baldwin is the same doctor SP appointed herself and the same doctor she risked an 8 hour flight to to "have" her baby delivered. The woman isn't even qualified to deliver babies, let alone high-risk babies. I think something is really off, especially given it took SP until 11 pm to release this "letter". I wouldn't have doubted it if it were released sooner, and maybe by someone other than this Baldwin lady.

I mean, what does she have to hide?

Low and behold doctors letter was produced. Seems she is healthy.

As for Ethics Board attorney delcaration Palin did not violate Alaska Ethics Law - feel is just this attorney's opinion. He references one aspect of this law. Other attorney referenced different aspect of law.

Legislative Investigation attorney did find some evidence Palin allowed others to use her own position as Governor to pressure firing of Wooten. This interpretation does appear correct. Government documents support. Palin and her staff saying she didn't would be expected.

Court of law would indeed have different interpretation!! Top litigation attorneys across America agreed.

Monegan being denied apology is to be expected. No mention of Trooper Wooten claim So now we all can wait for the expected law suits!!!

Troopergate is not over at all!!!

You know, many people are speculating that there could likely be ABORTION(S) in her medical history, which of course she WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE MADE PUBLIC!!!!
And since she so foolishly & selfishly refuses to provide the medical info that any good candidate DOES provide, this sort of speculation will continue...

Posted by: Past ABORTIONS? | Nov 4, 2008 2:46:00 PM

Oh, please. No one cares about Palin's medical records at this point.

There are a lot of genuine issues over which to oppose Palin, but her health isn't one of them.

In any case, what's wrong with a young, seemingly healthy person submitting only a doctor's letter? Both Obama and Palin did this, and I think it's appropriate.

However, Biden and McCain are older and have had very serious health problems. The release of their full medical records was appropriate.

Of course Sarahs past bouts with depression won't be found in the "records". That's whats shes hiding.

Posted by: Alaska Doc | Nov 4, 2008 1:31:44 PM

In all fairness, Obama provided a letter from his doctor like Palin, not actual medical records. The question that remains is why did she put it off for so long, saying she would repeatedly and then not coming through for over a month, all the while with a lot of defensiveness. It was far from efficient on her part and created needless drama. Nationally, we have just had a glimpse of her administrative style.

YES WE CAN YES WE CAN YES WE CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like the end of the Clinton Presidency - after he 'stained the office'... In two years, NO ONE will admit voting for BO!

Posted by: TexasLouie | Nov 4, 2008 11:44:10 AM

If you haven't gone out and cast your ballot for Obama... ask yourself if you want to look back at your life... and say that you stood by on the sidelines while everyone else stood up for a great and transformational leader.

Don't skip out on your chance to be a part of history!

Posted by: Blip | Nov 4, 2008 11:13:09 AM

It is happening! Be a part of history! Go out and vote! And bring your friends and family with you!

And someday you will be able to tell your grandchildren that you voted for OBAMA!!!!

I remember my parents talking to me about JFK and how he electrified and inspired a generation!

Go out and stand up for something good!

Posted by: Blip | Nov 4, 2008 11:10:58 AM

Go out and vote! Tell all of your friends!

Watch the election returns tonight with your friends....

And then shout at the top of your lungs, "YES WE CAN!!!!!"

All day tomorrow... let everyone know that you stood for positive change! You stood for the future! You stood for AMERICA!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Blip | Nov 4, 2008 11:04:56 AM

What a great day!

Posted by: Blip | Nov 4, 2008 11:03:28 AM

The medical records ‘summary’ failed to state that Palin has been suffering for many years with an 'UNPARRELLED SOCIOPATHIC PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC DISABILITY’, which lends her an ability to CONTINUALLY LIE, CHEAT AND CITE FALSE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT HER OPPONENTS as she fights ‘dirty’ on her way to success [regardless of the expensive toll to ‘any’ who stand in her way]. Just ask the citizens of Alaska; they will 'gladly' provide the details on exactly what nasty tricks she used to throw ‘all’ under the ‘ladder of success’ on her way to the top after first completely USING and ABUSING them.

As reported by her physician, she stated that she is, in fact, a mean, nasty and dirty fighter who is always 'vindictive' enough to stab others in the back once she has achieved victory.
