CBS News ^ | 9/6/2008 | John Blackstone

(CBS) There's a new economic boom in Alaska -- and it has nothing to do with oil.

Call it "Palin-mania."

Companies are cashing in on a new craze sweeping the country sparked by the sudden fame of John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.

The new cottage industry involves anything carrying her name.

Well, we know where the lunatic fringe hangs out. Every comment was from an Obamanista whack job.

You have got to love this one. The chosen one spends $500M and 19 months of speaking then Palin gets all of the attention for pennies - priceless. I believe BO fatigue has set in.

This is the most fun I can remember in a presidential campaign.

It's my belief that within 2-3 weeks Hillary will be at the top of their ticket and Obami on the bottom. The wispers among the party elders are going on now.

Sarah truly represents the people who identify with her because they didn't have the voice to tell the Democrats where to go before she came along.

Go Sarah!!!

Sarah's the rock star now.

The big difference is that she's not going around saying stupid things like "I am the one you have been waiting for."

I don't think there is any danger of all of this going to Sarah's head. She's well-grounded and she is what our nation needs.

Do not discount Todd. Seems to me he is a good part of her strength.

“Sarah’s the rock star now.”
****************************************

Indeed she is. Raise your hand if you smile every time someone mentions her name or you see her photo. I told
my husband yesterday that I am in such a good mood that
even a hurricane (we live in SO FLA) cannot dent it.

Sarah “Cuda” Palin all the way!!

I guess anything is possible, but I don’t see how that could help them. There would be a lot of disillusioned Obamites who would stay away from the polls, and women would still be divided between Hillary and Sarah.

I think it would be disastrous to the Democrats to replace Obama, but I could see them replacing Biden. Who would care about that, other than Joe?

“Less flattering ones...”McCain and the Naughty Librarian.”

Will this do? My wife ( former New Deal Democrat, who, after hearing Sarah speak the first time, stood up and declared "I want to vote for that woman!" ) cobbled this together:

The Democrats must be bumming. After all that orating in front of teleprompters with prepared speeches that say absolutely nothing (in an eloquent way), after spending some $500m, and after erecting all those Styrofoam Greek Columns (imported from a Hollywood movie lot) in Denver, the man still can't get out a coherent sentence in front of a friendly audience.

One quote:
“The woman cannot tell the truth. Can’’t tell the truth. But if you question her, you are sexist...even if you are a woman questioning her!!!

Welcome to the world of off limits Obama critizism.

But on CBS surprisingly this one:

“I see the Daily Kos kids are back to posting. How quaint.”

Some people DO get it.

Hehe, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah....She and Ted Nugent need to do a little hunting....
