Too many dead in Chicago. But Iowa is winnable.

Sending surrogates out to counter Sarah’s popularity will just give Sarah more grist for the mill. Think of the quips she could make about “too many players on the ice”.

Obama will just look like a contemptible wimp.

We might need to concede Illinois to Obama. We don't want to completely humilate him. ;-)

That was my point. Do you really want someone who is afraid of a woman to be President? I can imagine what a devastating commercial that would make, because its true!

I live in Tenn. which is pretty well sown up for national Republicans. I guess that Mrs. Palin won't be visiting us, and I'm really disappointed.

Come on CC. Take one for the team, would ya? ;-)

I'm in Texas, and we probably won't see her either.

who said, "She speaks my language."

People said this when Ronald Reagan spoke.

Men in particular - white men - don't like a wimp.

Agreed.

And on the other side of the issue, what kind of woman candidate most appeals to men? I believe it is the positive, self-assured woman who also clearly conveys compassion and humility. There is something very appealing about a woman who displays leadership ability, including a dependable set of personal values, courage, sincerity, and poise, without attempting to deny her femininity. Without trying to pretend that she is a man. And without being shrill.

I didn’t say I’d shed a tear if we won Illinois, either. ;-)

I would give anything to go to Tampa on Monday. She is scheduled there I believe, unless Ike changes her plans, but can't make it.

Obummah should never have been the nominee,they really played the PC game way too far. 143 days is not enough even for the rats. His inexperience will ultimately overwhelm him and sink their leaky ship.

Potus is a big league affair. Yo can only BS your way so far, Unless you are Bubba,then all bets are off. And even he is getting more out of favor all the time.

My guess is that obummah never paid hill/bill the 20 mill she and bubba lent her campaign.

If that is the case she will let obummah sink. They are always for hire, ever the prostitoots.

I forget which talk radio show I heard it on but one of the takes was that since most polls are rat controlled anyway they may well slant them to show McCain with a slight lead and then slowly slant them the other way(for the comeback kid effect dontcha just know) until the end when they will show soetoro in the lead.

Until the last few days when they will actually do some serious polling so that the few polling companies who actually care about their reps can save them when McCain wins.

The Tampa trip has been postponed because the Dems quickly dispatched Hillary to Tampa on Monday when they found out the GOP was sending Palin to Florida. And the GOP didnt like that idea because they are hoping to get some of those voters. So they are putting that trip off until later.

Yes, it is authenticity. This can’t be faked. We can distinguish between a real, unpretentious, graceful, remarkable young lady of singular accomplishment and a phony media creation with legions of fawning sycophants backing him. It’s hard to fool those in the heartland. This authenticity was also exhibited by Piper Palin when she wet her fingers and slicked back her baby brother’s hair so that he might look sharp before a national audience. That moment was precious. And what a contrast to the preening and pretentious Obama and his coterie of servile suplicants in the media. Obama is an empty box in pretty wrapping and gaudy wrapping at that. He’s living proof of Lincoln’s “but you can’t fool all of the people, all of the time.” People are beginning to see through this fraud who confuses his popularity and the worship he receives from a fawning press with accomplishment. He’s no messiah, but rather a tinhorn pharoah acting out a role.

It is just possible what we are witnessing here with the introduction of Sara Palin is the awakening of “the silent majority”.

There are so many folks who believe in what she said in her speech and have believed in it for years but were simply intimidated by the megaphone of the left wing media blaring in their ears day after day after day. Palin has managed to overwhelm the noise and deliver her message, one eagerly awaited by the greater majority of Americans as represented by a population that id 85% Christian and by a wide margin believes in the sanctity of life.

There is no stopping now and she must continually move forward with her message in an unapologetic way, continuing to exhibit the amazing confidence and force she showed us on Wednesday evening.

Actually, 143 days is to much time for the likes of an empty suit like Hussein. His persona is 100% manufactured by the media. It's an illusion and illusions can only be maintained for a short period of time before beginning to fall apart under the weight of reality.
