Palin Releases Medical Records Summary

I voted about a half an hour ago...

Never seen this kind of turnout.

There were also lots of first time voters there!

Normally my district goes steady red.... but I have never seen this kind of turnout before. Tons of Obama bumper stickers in the overcrammed parking lot.

At ten AM I was about 5 times as many cars in the lot as usual!

This is fantastic!

That PDF is not a medical record, it's a reference letter. That's it. My doctor could write to a place of potential employment for me and be a total liar. Why trust this? I want to see her actual medical records, but remember Americans, HIPPA laws will never allow you to do so.

What a cynical move, to release the information -- that was promised weeks ago -- the night before the election.

I'll be so glad when McCain and Palin are gone from our TV screens and our consciousness. Good riddance...

Common Sense, typically you see the uptick of Democrat votes late in the day... not the other way around.

Democrats rack up a lot of votes in dense urban areas, with long lines and fewer voting machines.

Contrary to what you are saying, Democrats, in fact, do have jobs.... and many of these jobs are less flexible than Republicans. As a result, Dems tend to show up to the polls late... making it into line at seven or eight... but casting their votes at 10 or 11pm. These votes tend to be counted late... and many more of these votes are challenged or contested. Enterprising poll monitors will look for "hanging chads" or poorly marked bubbles to have ballots cancelled. And then other people have to argue with the monitors to have these ballots counted. This means that the Democrat number tend to have a slight time lag over Republican numbers.

This has been the pattern for as long as I have been voting.

Having said that, early voting in a number of states has caused many voters in these areas to cast ballots early.... so this late day surge effect might be more balanced than in previous elections.

But if you watch the returns for the past several elections, red districts almost always complete their returns first.

But more importantly, you shouldn't say that Obama supporters don't work. We DO work. Some of us have more than one job. We might not earn as much money as the typical Republican... but that does not mean our work is less important or our votes are worth less.

Especially on election day... you should honor and respect those that do vote!

It's one day of the year when racial and class boundaries disappear. We are all Americans when we cast our ballots... each of us has our say in this great country. No matter who we vote for. We ALL matter today.

So let's try to keep it positive!

Obama takes the early lead, then the republicans get out of work to vote.

John McCain's war record does speak volumes. 4 crashed planes.

He's good at dodging votes, good at dodging questions, and good at dodging responsibility with the Keating 5. He's just bad at dodging missiles.

I don't want to add a further crashed economy and several more countries crashed into while still fighting the two wars he so eagerly jumped into. 4 more years of McCain = 12 years of Bush Doctrine. No thanks. I'd vote for anybody else, and while Obama isn't perfect, an unknown is better then picking someone you know will screw the country even further.

But still nothing but a note from his doc from The Chosen One. Where's the outrage there, Jake? Where's the insistence that the press be fed?

Well, I'm off to vote for John McCain. He is an honorable man who will serve our country well as president. I pray the country gives him that opportunity.

Use your brain/Vote McCain

I'm sure this won't satisfy the Left - although they're perfectly okay with Obama's one-page medical summary.

Never say never, Jake. Ha Ha.

Let's all face the facts, whoever is elected is not going to be able to "fix" this Country's economic state. It took us 8 yrs to get here, it's going to take a very long time to recover. Yes we need change, but I certainly do NOT want Obama or ACORN to be making decisions about the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. God bless the USA and God bless McCain/Palin!

No offense, but most doctors don't trust other doctors opinions. A summary statement like this is ridiculous.

It definitely reaffirms the question of what Palin is hiding.

Dont' take my words for it, take Hillary Rodem Clinton's: "In the White House there is no time for speeches and on-the-job training. Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign and Senator Obama will bring a speech that he gave in 2002. I think that is a significant difference."

This letter has to be fake. It makes no mention that she is a functioning moron and possibly the most inept person ever on a national ticket. I am amazed at how big of a gaffe it was for McCain to pick her. Hell, SNL has created a weekly skit just to make fun of her regular public embarrassments. The public is going to steamroll over their ticket today and send a message that stupid just doesn't cut it anymore.

I find it amazing that someone using his supposed war heroism as his main character reference wouldn't produce his war records.

So so many contradictions of the evidence and discrepancies in hero McCains war stories!

Can anyone count on anything John "hero" McCain says?

"Investigating John McCain’s Tragedy at Sea"

Surely anyone selling their war heroism the way he does would cough up their records?

On the one hand, if as this doctor states, she is in good health, why doesn't she release her medical records?

On the other hand, who cares?

Maybe its that abortion thing

Palin energizes Elko crowd on final campaign stop
ELKO -- "There is only one man in this race who has ever really fought for you and he has the courage to keep on fighting for you. That man is John McCain. God bless America. God bless Nevada."

Just more proof that Jake is a whiner against Republicans, hates Palin and in the tank for Obama.

All this will be over today.But
I think, people should start posting here now they'r poems and songs, praising Obama, Pelosi, Michelle and ACORN.

"That's about twice as much information as provided by Obama's doctor in his one page letter about Obama's health."

Actually, no, it isn't. Don't confuse data with information.

Obama's letter states that he's been in excellent health over the last 21 years and see for checkups and minor issues such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes, and minor injuries.

It also gives details of his last medical checkup at the time of the letter. We know his blood pressure was 90/60, his pulse 60/minute, his cholesterol level was 173, his EKG was normal, etc.

For someone who hasn't had much in the way of medical problems, there isn't much more you can write. What is it you want more detail on there, exactly? The location of the skin rashes?

*** Seems like Palin is doing all of the campaigning this evening? Hmmmm can't the old man stand the heat? I think not. ***

McCain was campaigning until 3 am in Nevada. He'll go to New Mexico and Colorado tomorrow. Meantime, Palin was in 6 different states Monday before flying home to Alaska to vote. She'll then fly to Arizona Tuesday to watch the results with McCain.
