This one has my vote.

A rather interesting interview from a reporter from the Weekly Standard notes how Palin's political statements have changed now that only the extreme right is supporting her. As governor in AK, Palin had plenty of Democratic support because she was more moderate and was taking on real problems - such as renegotiating oil company contracts with the state.

Steve Schmidt (if that name is spelled correctly), from Cheney's office, somehow took over the McCain campaign after McCain took the Republican nomination. Somehow he eliminated McCain's VP preferences and got Palin on the ticket. Then (somehow) Palin was not saying what she was expected to say.

Palin's job was to be the attack dog - criticize Obama. But she kept 'going rogue'. Palin was not the right wing extremist they expected and wanted her to be. So Palin was kept closely controlled - could not even campaign for weeks without McCain at her side.

The irony is that Steve Schmitt and right wing staffers imported to McCain's campaign are now is a pissy hiss with their choice - Palin. Unfortunately for Palin, she cannot seem to get beyond this cat fight. Instead of attracting moderate Republicans, she is preaching more extremist rhetoric while conducting a 'hearsay accusations' fight with many of those same party extremists.

After reading the previous posts, and all of the mud stream media hatred for Sarah Palin, I can only come to one conclusion. Everyone who has views which are contrary to what the founding fathers were is as terrified of Sarah Palin as I am of Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Therefore, no matter what is said here, or MSNBC, I will support her. No apologies to my athiest communist anarchist friends.

I would like to protest on behalf of prokaryotes.

I'll see your prokaryote and raise you two eukaryotes. ;)

OOOOH! I've never been called an athiest communist anarchist before. May I quote you?

You just did.

I feel a sudden surge of user titles coming on,

Yes, except for Quayle, the major party's choices of candidates were people that you might note vote for, but you didn't have to worry about them causing an Apocalypse.

The Republican Oprah.

No surprise there.

Quitters Never Prosper
 

"I've been told?!" She couldn't hear the shouting from inside her fancy bus? She refused to look out a window?

Ms. Palin's "quitting early" stunt last night kinda reminds me of something else she did not long ago...

:rolleyes:

I find it tough to hold her personally responsible for this gaffe, because I doubt she's in charge.
This tour is like a campaign, organized by the publisher, with a group of handlers, and a whole lot of logistics to coordinate. I'll bet Palin is busy jumping through hoops, in this dog & pony show, and could have been completely unaware of what was happening in Noblesville.

I've been told that yesterday there were supporters in Noblesville who stood in long lines for hours in the cold and rain, and the book signing event ended without a chance to say hello to everyone who showed up. I am so sorry. We are working on a solution for those who were left behind.

Interesting language choice...

You suspect she signed the books of the right behind, and not those left behind? :lol:

Actually I was thinking about the second favorite book for Palinists.
