WOW!!! EVEN THE ALASKA BIGGEST NEWS PAPAER ENDORSED OBAMA!!!!! BYE-BYE-PALIN !!!!

Alaska enters its 50th-anniversary year in the glow of an improbable and highly memorable event: the nomination of Gov. Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate. For the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office, and in doing so she brings broad attention and recognition not only to herself, but also to the state she leads.

Alaska's founders were optimistic people, but even the most farsighted might have been stretched to imagine this scenario. No matter the outcome in November, this election will mark a signal moment in the history of the 49th state. Many Alaskans are proud to see their governor, and their state, so prominent on the national stage.

Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.

Since his early acknowledgement that economic policy is not his strong suit, Sen. McCain has stumbled and fumbled badly in dealing with the accelerating crisis as it emerged. He declared that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" at 9 a.m. one day and by 11 a.m. was describing an economy in crisis. He is both a longtime advocate of less market regulation and a supporter of the huge taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout. His behavior in this crisis -- erratic is a kind description -- shows him to be ill-equipped to lead the essential effort of reining in a runaway financial system and setting an anxious nation on course to economic recovery.

Sen. Obama warned regulators and the nation 19 months ago that the subprime lending crisis was a disaster in the making. Sen. McCain backed tighter rules for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but didn't do much to advance that legislation. Of the two candidates, Sen. Obama better understands the mortgage meltdown's root causes and has the judgment and intelligence to shape a solution, as well as the leadership to rally the country behind it. It is easy to look at Sen. Obama and see a return to the smart, bipartisan economic policies of the last Democratic administration in Washington, which left the country with the momentum of growth and a budget surplus that President George Bush has squandered.

On the most important issue of the day, Sen. Obama is a clear choice.

Sen. McCain describes himself as a maverick, by which he seems to mean that he spent 25 years trying unsuccessfully to persuade his own party to follow his bipartisan, centrist lead. Sadly, maverick John McCain didn't show up for the campaign. Instead we have candidate McCain, who embraces the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted and cynically asks Americans to buy for another four years.

It is Sen. Obama who truly promises fundamental change in Washington. You need look no further than the guilt-by-association lies and sound-bite distortions of the degenerating McCain campaign to see how readily he embraces the divisive, fear-mongering tactics of Karl Rove. And while Sen. McCain points to the fragile success of the troop surge in stabilizing conditions in Iraq, it is also plain that he was fundamentally wrong about the more crucial early decisions. Contrary to his assurances, we were not greeted as liberators; it was not a short, easy war; and Americans -- not Iraqi oil -- have had to pay for it. It was Sen. Obama who more clearly saw the danger ahead.

The unqualified endorsement of Sen. Obama by a seasoned, respected soldier and diplomat like Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican icon, should reassure all Americans that the Democratic candidate will pass muster as commander in chief.

On a matter of parochial interest, Sen. Obama opposes the opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but so does Sen. McCain. We think both are wrong, and hope a President Obama can be convinced to support environmentally responsible development of that resource.

Gov. Palin has shown the country why she has been so successful in her young political career. Passionate, charismatic and indefatigable, she draws huge crowds and sows excitement in her wake. She has made it clear she's a force to be reckoned with, and you can be sure politicians and political professionals across the country have taken note. Her future, in Alaska and on the national stage, seems certain to be played out in the limelight.

Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.

Sorry for my lengthy posts...My Kool aid with Ice is freezing my brains I guess...Apologies again..

OK, so can we now get more than a one page summary on Obama's health records?

I guess you folks call yourselves "journalists", but have actually become pawns for the Obama campaign.

Where are Obama's medical records? Obama only issue a one-page summary from his doctor saying he was OK. Everyone else, as well as Governor Palin will do shortly, have submitted every single page of their records. How come McCain's camp haven't called Obama on this. The pro-Obama media ignores the fact that Obama refuses to release his medical records. What's Obama hiding from the American people? I consider this to be another major concern about Obama.

Mike: You're comment is very misguided and it shows you have absolutely no clue of the corrupt man you are supporting. Obama is all about corruption and fraud and not hope and change.

Brian Ross: Please do your job and investigate the credit card fraud going on in the Obama campaign website. Heard Osama Bin Laden was even able to get his credit card through so it's confirmed that he's an Obama supporter. Is there money laundering going on? Why can't Obama be as transparent as McCain and even Clinton and release his donors under $200? Page A1 of the Washington Post. Brian: You've been scooped!!

Newspaper endorsements are worthless. Just look at the NYT, a much bigger paper who endorsed (laughable) Dukakis, Carter, Mondale, Kerry, etc. All Democrats since 1960.

What a joke. WHO CARES?

"Actions speak louder than words."

This famous saying is quite true. Palin's *said* she is okay with her medical records being released, but her *actions* speak differently since those records have not be released for nearly a week after she said it was okay.

In the end, she's just all talk and no action. I doubtful her med records will be release at all, and if they were, it would be perhaps after the election and only if her side won. Until then, it would be too late.

So it's clear she has something to hide. If she was in good health, her records should have been released within two days after she said it was okay. Why did not do this?

I think Sarah should state that she will release her medical records 5 minutes after Obama releases his.

Obama has only released a one page report from his doctor.

ABC News: Do your job and go after Obama's complete medical records. And while you're at it find out what the heck he's hiding from the American public.

L.A. Times sits on video of Obama toasting radical Jew-basher:

Introduction: The LA Times is holding a video that shows Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians who are openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama even gives a toast to a former PLO operative at this celebration. If the American public saw this side of Barack Obama he would never be elected president.
But, the media refuses to release this video.

Why? Because they need to protect "the one".

LA Times writer Peter Wallsten wrote about Barack Obama's close association with former Palestinian operative Rashid Khalidi back in April.

Wallsten discussed a dinner held back in 2003 in honor of Khalidi, a critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights.

Now, will someone please GO AND DO THEIR JOB? Is investigative reporting dead?

My wife and I are both in the military. She is serving her 26th year and Im on my 29th. One year to go for me. We have always voted fot the Republican ticket in the past even though we are Independent. After keeping up with this campaine and researching everything we could, we will be supporting Obama. McCain served his country with honor, but that in itself doesnt mean he will be a good President. What really sent us over the edge was the pick of Palin. The thought that she could be our Commander in Chief one day is scarey. Both Kennedy and Reagan were great at deplomacy and the Berlin Wall came down and we prevented a war with the Soviets during the Cuban missle crisis due to having brains in the White House that believed in deplomacy first.At one point Kennedy's four Generals and Chief of Staff were pressuring Kennedy to attack. Kennedy didnt fall to the pressure and used is brains and deplomacy to possibly stop a war and it worked. Does anyone acually believe, if McCain and Palin had been in office that they would have gone against their Generals and used deplomacy. I think not. If something were to happen to McCain, Palin would be in charge of the most powerful military in the world. I know about the Alaska National Guard but I also know she as never given them one single command. My Wife and I are sure in our beliefs that if McCain and Palin are elected, at the least, we would just continue with Bush policies or even worse. Obama believes not only in deplomacy first, before conflict, and has the brains to make it work. He will keep our military strong and country safe and will help fix the the worlds view of us. Remember the days when the international community respected and looked up to us. Please support the troops and God Bless America.

Great commentary Jeff Kuhner: This election is the most important election in out lifetime. A liberal tidal wave will permanently shatter the country as we know it. - http://www.talk2rusty.com/podcast/Rusty%20Humphries%2010_24_08.mp3

Palin had over 80 percent approval rating, in Alaska.

She comes from a state pretty much like Pres CLinton did.

Most people do not like her becasue she is a woman.

She has more executive level experience than Obama and Biden as a Governor.

Senators do not nor will they ever have executive level experience.

If the fairness doctrine is brought back America is screwed as the press loses the ability to tell it like it is.
