I find many of National Review Online’s writers to be complete duds. They have a neocon agenda with liberal tradeoffs which I feel is the last thing we need right now.

If they had their way, JulieAnnie would be the nominee.

I have heard similar rumblings this week from some East Coast residents. They seem to think that Sarah Palin is a dumb redneck - and these are not left-wing moonbats talking. It's a cultural issue, perhaps - they hear her speak and to their ears she sounds uneducated and out of her depth. Perhaps it is because of her accent or idioms, but Palin is definitely turning off some people who might otherwise be tempted to vote for McCain.

Just an observation, so please don't shoot the messenger. I like her. I think she's got a good deal to learn about the details of national policy, but that's not a fatal flaw for a 1st-time VP.

Palin will pave the road for Obama. She makes me cringe every time she is interviewed. The debate will expose her once and for all as the dumbest move by the stupid party in recent history.

Bookmark it.

When the MSM agrees with a conservative, you know the MSM's opinion is worthless!

I wonder what this nitwit is getting paid by the DNC to write this stuff..Now if she was talking about Obama I could understand he is such an idiot..Looks like he is caught in the headlights of a car when he has to get up and debate anyone..If anything happened to McCain,Sarah would do a grand job in Washington and I really think she could handle those snotty democrat idiots..

Kathleen Parker needs to put the hallucinogens away.

As well as the space bong, Demerol and Quaaludes.

This is bulletin board material for SP.

She needs to use this to her advantage.

Methinks the democrats doth protest too much.

The SeeBS and abc editors won’t be able to do a hatchet job on Governor Palin during the debates. Let’s wait and see. What we saw with Couric and Gibson is what the Obama supporters at abc and SeeBS wanted us to see.

I made the mistake of perusing a People Magazine in a medical office. I was reading the movie/media reviews, and they announced the upcoming televised VP debate by saying that “the Tina Fey look alike” was going to be debating the “Senator from Delaware”. Good grief...no bias there.

Well, Kathleen Parker isn't alone. I've heard that Obama and Biden would like her to give up her candidacy too.

[Don Blake]

I read this mostly as Parker being in business for herself. The idea for a columnist is to be noticed and talked about. Well, an article like this will do it for her.

A while back we had Peggy Noonan do a post mortem on one of Dubya’s speeches and she gave him a hard time. That’s a similar dynamic, I think - now and then she has to go in business for herself and be talked about.

In Noonan’s case it worked, she had a media buzz for about a week. Parker will get a similar treatment.

[Chuzzlewit]

even if the premise is correct, and I don't believe that it is, it is too late. I agree with the general consensus of: let Sarah be Sarah...

I've seen the Alaskan debates for gov, in which she was quite good. Admittedly she knew her subject matter..

let the chips fall where they may.

Kathleen who? Never even heard of her, but I know who Sarah Palin is. Jealousy is a terrible thing. Obviously that skank is jealous of Sarah. Sarah Palin will be our next Vice President and Kathleen will still be a nobody!!

[Brett66]

I’d rather dump Parker.....

[pallis]

Palin has taken a defeated GOP, and put Republicans back in the fight. Not only has she turned McCain’s losing race around, she has given McCain coattails he never could have had on his own. Only a loser wouldn’t like her.

[SuziQ]

Yet another 'conservative' pundit willing to come down out of the hills and shoot the wounded!

Gov. Palin is doing just fine, and if we've only seen a few stumbles, that must mean she's doing pretty well, because with the way the interviews are cut, they would have included ALL of them!

[SamAdams76]

I'm just curious to see why there aren't any threads in this forum calling for Joe Biden to be removed from the Obama ticket. Why is that?

Well maybe because "gaffe-a-day" Joe Biden is a gift to the Republican Party and so why would we want Obama to dump him?

So if Sarah Palin is really so awful as the Democrats are trying to tell us, then why would they want her dropped from the ticket? Wouldn't they, like us with Biden, refer to her instead as the "gift that keeps on giving?"

There is only one reason that the Democrats are trying to destroy Sarah and get her removed from the ticket and that is because they are deathly afraid of her and realize that she could very well put McCain over the top on November 4th and dash their dreams of an Obama presidency and socialism in America.

[kenth]

Who the heck is Kathleen Parker?

[so_real]

"conservative columnist" ? Sounds like a liberal columnist guilty of "projecting" on the Republican candidates. After all the stink about the "Candidate of Change" picking Biden for a VP (please!), there's bound to me a little projection of their faults onto the Republicans. I don't think the columnist is going to get much play on that tune.
