This embrer is a Brazilian plane company...they better make sure there is no listening devices planted on board????is there a way to check for this?

Well to conduct a modern campaign efficiently, a plane is needed. This is just the ticket for those medium distance state to state hops.

Very Dumb Move.

The dems will reap tons of mileage from this. It is not American made. The MSM and the Obama campaign will go nuts with the fact that this is not supporting American workers.

Very bad move.

[STARWISE]

For sure .... they’ve got a lot of ground to cover by the election.

-"Palin, presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's running mate, told delegates at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday that she put her predecessor's plane on eBay. Former Gov. Frank Murkowski, a Republican, had been criticized for buying a jet to travel around the state."

Ok, I see. By interjecting this paragraph into this article - right smack in the middle of his news account - he shows his disdain for Palin. This means that 'how could she' get her own plane now? - I presume that this reporter is expecting her to get into her bicycle and move about the country campaigning. Boy, how utterly dumb does this guy think the public is?

Uh, there is a difference between a taxpayer paid for state plane and a plane paid for by a private campaign. [I know you know this but the author of the article is who I am reacting to.]

LOL

get a grip

[waxer1]

Yes, I am not too comfortable with this.

[goldstategop]

I doubt it. If they're gonna make an issue out of travel arrangements, theirs become fair game as well.

Is there a way to check for this?

Are you cleared for the answer to that question?

[max americana]

>>New York-based JetBlue Airways will operate the plane.<<

Jet”Blue” (?).

[BobbyT]

Rumor has it she’s already sold this one too, and bought a cross-country snowmobile to replace it. The dinosaur media are mad that she plans to save gas during interviews by having them pull it.

Mush doggies! Gotta earn your keep, since your propaganda rags can’t afford to feed you any more...

[waxer1]

Very true. But, they really do have to walk a high wire the next two months. Remember, perception is everything to some people.

[HiJinx]

Of course they will, but the truth is that the Embraer 190 is a much more efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft than the corresponding American made airliner.

Or so I've been told, here on FR...

[Hattie]

She has to have a quick way around. I’m sure she and John will split up so they can cover more areas.

If it's good enough for the AirForce to fly non-American planes.... I am guessing this plane is probably a lot more fuel efficient than a 737 due to size.

[John Valentine]

I’d say he is going by reference to the only intelligence he knows - his own.

By implication the guy is as dumb as a rock.
