Palin, 44, has led the character attacks on Obama in the belief that McCain may be throwing away the election and her chance of becoming vice-president. Her supporters think that if the Republican ticket loses on November 4, she should run for president in 2012.

A leading Republican consultant said: “A lot of conservatives are grumbling about what a poor job McCain is doing. They are rolling their eyes and saying, ‘Yes, a miracle could happen, but at this rate it is all over’.

“Sarah Palin is no fool. She sees the same thing and wants to salvage what she can. She is positioning herself for the future. Her best days could be in front of her. She wants to look as though she was the fighter, the person with the spunk who was out there taking it to the Democrats.”

The mob mentality at that townhall which gave the media their whole new “McCain Campaign making people angry” storyline wasn’t about Ayers anyway. The big story was about the guy who was steamed over the socialist take over of our country.

With his electoral prospects fading by the day, Senator John McCain has fallen out with his vice-presidential running mate about the direction of his White House campaign.

Oh balls. Good little marxist is spewing the party line. Fear us obama MSM, we're coming to vote in numbers you have never seen before......

This is pathetic reporting - our country is truly being stolen.

It was documented and reported on Breitbart.tv that the people who were screaming the threats were OBAMA SUPPORTERS outside the even in Florida and NOT Republican supporters.

They could also be Agent Provocateurs ala the Soviet Union - which is really, the Neo-Soviet Union now under the Self-Avowed Communist Putin (who released remarks today from a COMMUNIST PARTY MEETING).

Regardless, the press is complicit in covering up the truth about Barack Obama.

Palin is the only reason I feel any passion about this race. I respect McCain’s service to our country but if he has no passion for this campaign, how can we? Palin is doing all the work and is the only one trying to keep it alive. Maybe it’s better to let it die, take a break, let the socialists (oops, I mean democrats) take the heat and the hate for a change, let them run things to the ground and let Palin re-emerge on her own in 4 years.

Cries of “terrorist” and “kill him” have accompanied the tirades by the governor of Alaska against the Democratic nominee at Republican rallies.

Uh huh. "I'm Sarah Palin and I approve this message."

Barack Alinsky Obama.

I don’t if this has been posted yet, I’m sure it has since y’all are quick on the draw, but here’s the video in question of McCain selling out and then getting boo’d.

I can’t remember when there has been a more important election as this one. Sen. McCain’s mindset reminds me of some FReepers early on. Telling the truth, a candidate’s record, so voters oould be well informed was
called ‘bashing’ by them.

If Obama is elected with all of his anti-American history, our country would suffer irreparable damage. If John McCain refuses to inform the populace, he will be as much at fault as Barack Hussein Obama.

GO SARAH!

“Sarah Palin is no fool. She sees the same thing and wants to salvage what she can. She is positioning herself for the future. Her best days could be in front of her.”

If this is true, then she has some explaining to do. She is supposed to be helping McCain, not climbing over him to reach the top. Surely she’s not that kind of person.

Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character – and likely to lose him the election.

WHAT???

I got this off another thread. Its pictures of Obama supporters being hateful. Take a look and pass em around.

We'll know the truth with next debate - if mccain takes off the gloves or applauds b.hussein for being a "good family man that no one should fear as president".

I'm not hopeful.

Then Salter should be fired. He has no balls. Politics isn't for weenies.

Powerline has a copy of the letter to the majority leader, re. McCain's effort to forestall the FM/FM mess, more than two years ago.

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/10/021750.php

It's signed by twenty senators, all Republican. The bill made it out of the banking commitee on a party line vote, but failed on the floor. The democrat opposition was obstreperous enough to stop it cold.

Nary a word of this story by the candidate, even though he's the principal good guy. If I were serious about smacking a dem. opponent upside the head with something until he melted, it would be with this. Forget Ayers, Wright, et.al. But he won't, so what do we do?

I'm too big a dummy to hyperlink this, so copy'N'paste in the address bar, and read the commentary. The writing is much better than I can do.

If you can’t disagree with the Democrats in a political campaign, then the REVOLUTION is already OVER!

And we’ve lost.

How pathetic.

An MSM staple is to overplay any disagreement, no matter how insignificant, among leading Republicans. The left-leaning Brit media covering the US election is happy to follow the lead of their American counterparts.
