Bush May Not Attend Republican Convention Because of Hurricane

So that will be Bush's excuse?

What a shame. I was so looking forward to Bush making a case for electing Palin/McCain.

Maybe Palin should skip it too. The truth is starting to come out. Her skyhigh approval rating is really 65% not 85% as first talked about. The Alaska state legislators, both republican and democrat, are openly "mocking" her qualifications. The editorial boards of both major newspapers in Alaska are planning on not supporting her bid due to her inexperience.

REALITY CHECK
==============
The democrats didn't get the right
bounce after the convention.
Check previous conventions and you
will get the numbers.
The democrats have a problem
with Obama on the ticket.
I'm an ex-democrat-Hillary supporter
and i left the party the next day
after she withdrew from the race.
Obama is the problem with democrats this year....Dean,Pelosi don't get it.

Americans vote for president NOT the
VP.
Obama doesn't qualify for commander
in chief......
REMEMBER ME IN NOVEMBER.....

How convenient.

Just as well. They didn't really want him there anyway, trying to hide him on Monday night of Labor Day.

Ed

At least Obama knows that we can disagree without being disagreeable. Maybe you should try it some time.

Ed

Get your head out before you suffocate.

All that garbage you are spewing is baseless lies and are an embarrassment to the extremely important decisions America has to make this fall. I could care less about rezko or mccains wife. i am more concerned with the issues they are running on.

For that Obama is my choice. Do you actually believe someone is going to make their choice based upon rezko ayers or cindy mccain or the keating five or that mccain called his wife a trollop. NO

Obama said it best in his acceptance speech. When you don't have new ideas you use old tactics. You make big elections out of little things.

Grow up Mr. Ed.

Anchorage Daily reporter Gregg Erickson, article in Washington Post, better yet email him yourself.

When republicans are confronted with facts they either flat out deny it, or call the source a liar. It is not denial its delusion which is a personality disorder, and so common to the Anne Coulter, Sean Hannity wing of the republican party.

Oh wait heres another quote from a...republican...Alaska State Senate President Lyda Green when asked about palins qualifications "shes not prepared to be governor, how can she be prepared to be vice president, or president?"

Anchorage Daily News 8/29/08 reporter Don Hunter...

Anyone remember the 1972 campaign when McGovern had to replace Eagleton? I think there's a good chance that McCain will be forced to replace Palin. He met her only once, and I don't think she was vetted very thoroughly. I think a lot more is going to come out about her in the coming weeks, and I don't think it will be very good.

All Republicans know this VP pick was a hail mary. They had absolutely no choice. Just imagine the ads if romney would have got the nod. Rich and Richer (out of touch with america)

Pawlenty a virtual Dan quayle. NO GO

Lieberman and Ridge. The evangelicals would have dropped mccain like a "hotter" potato. They are still juggling him like a hot potato now.

McCain had to upstage obama by putting the first woman on the ticket.

For the hillary voters this is a slap in the face. A pander of epic proportions. One that will not work. An insult. Of course its a woman... but a woman polar opposite of hillary.

Thanks for sealing the deal for the Democrats McCain.

Obama/Biden 08

He met her only once.

Thanks for putting country first McCain.

Entrust the nation to a person you saw once if something more should happen to you (already a cancer survivor and showing signs of senility)

He should change that logo to PANDER FIRST

Another neat tidbit about Palin that didn't make the first cycle...she inhaled.

Yes, Palin openly admits smoking marijauna, when it was legal of course so that makes it okay. Family values and drugs I wonder if Dobson knew about this...

W@hat a pity. Was hoping some high-ranking Republicans could experience what New Orleans went through and they couldn't be bothered to fix.

Ed? Shouldn't that be Mr Ed? And talking out the wrong end.

Leave her alone!! Shes fully qualified...she knows how to abuse power, and that's all she needs to be v.p

@CuriousIndep

It's mostly stuff online, but there's starting to be some very real potentially negative information coming out of Alaska on Gov. Palin. Two Alaskan newspapers are going to press with less than glowing reviews on her readiness and job performance -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/greg-mitchell/2-top-alaska-newspapers-q_b_122625.html. Members of her own party in Alaska are going on record as being sceptical of her VP qualifications. There's other interesting stuff that's fleshing out, but at this point, we're dealing with rapidly evolving information. The favorability rating were from Rasmussen I believe.

What's really interesting is it's starting to become clear that McCain's team never fully vetted Palin. Word was already out about how they only met once and McCain only spoke to her twice ever before picking her. But now there are reports out that McCain's campaign is now in Alaska *for the first time* to get to the bottom of some of the whispers that are starting to surface. What we're seeing is the vetting of a VP in real time. If you know where to go online, you can see it happen and follow along, which is mindboggling to me. McCain picked her on optics alone, and now we're beginning to see the fallout. This should be interesting.

"Leave her alone!!", Take away the Ellen from Seinfeld looks, and you have a right wing extremist, anti stem cell research, anti-abortion, anti global warming, anti environment, give a gun to everyone who wants one.

This is intended to rally the base, but its way too late in the game for that. He lost the swing vote with this crooked wacko of a v.p.

If McCain didn't vett Palin, could we say that this was a rush to judgement?

Would it again bring into question McCains judgement?
