Funny how any off the cuff comment such as her saying, “Aw schucks, do we have to pull out of Michigan.” is a serious split in the McCain campaign, and yet Biden can throw Obama under the bus on a daily basis and it is just “Joe being Joe.”
Virtually unknown two months ago, the woman has become a rock star overnight. She is drawing huge crowds everywhere. People get up before dawn, drive vast distances and stand in the rain or the heat for hours just to see and hear her for a couple of minutes.
Singers and actors want to be seen with her. She pulls in massive ratings on any TV show in which she briefly appears. Hollywood wants her for something...ANYTHING! They know a rare precious gem when they see it even if they hate her politics.
What more could anyone expect out of her? My God, she is a political phenomenon never seen before in national politics.
Sarah Palin is lightning in a bottle and some people on this site are trying to argue she's not effective enough.
What do they want?
Is she supposed to walk on water?
Mega-Dittoes on your comment!
Sarah has more political savvy than McCain and his cronies. Obama is so vulnerable on every point and McCain has political ED.
She made this key point a couple times about parts of Obama’s plan, with the emphasis on the last line:
“Our opponent is not being candid with you about his tax plans.
He’s hiding his real agenda of redistributing your hard-earned money.
He said he’s for a tax credit, which is when the government takes more of your money to give it away to someone else according to that politician’s priorities.”
Jim Noble hit it on the head in 33.
“The stakes are high. She’s very dangerous - to all of the powers that be, in both parties.”
Actually, it would be great if Palin struck out her own. The Republicans would probably be 10% ahead of where they’re at now. I’m so sick of hearing McCain say, “We need to reach out to Republicans, Democrats, and Independence to work together.” Meanwhile Obama is saying, “McCain is out of touch and the Republicans are nasty people.” The Democrats will never work with the Republicans and any Republican who think so should be kicked out of office.
I think Palin is starting to understand what’s happening. She’s only been on the national scene for two months and it just taken her a bit of time to become familiar with how politics are played on a national level. But she’s a smart and savvy lady. I wouldn’t be surprise if there isn’t some element of truth to this story.
Since the campaign is being ran by moderates (sitting in the middle of the road) whoever the highest bidder is. Since Obama has 100,000,000,000,000 he can afford them.
Apparently Sarah is doing something right, this is the 4th or 5th story I’ve seen with the same theme. The msm and their dem masters are in panic mode, even with their phoney polls and slanted reporting it is still a neck and neck race.
Give me a "T"
Give me an "R"
They have absolutely trained the big guns on her all week. I don’t think its working.

Ever since John McCain announced that Sarah Pallin was his running mate, the media has put out story after story trying to discredit her. Even Saturday Night Live is doing extra shows with Tina Fey to make people think she’s incompetent and an airhead. I don’t believe any of these stories. They are grasping at straws in any way they can because they are scared of her popularity. I’m surprised they haven’t brought up her sleeping habits or her sex life. I don’t believe anything about Sarah unless I hear it from her own mouth.
Do these campaign aides think we are motivated to vote for the agendas being put forward by the aides?
No!
We are motivated by the candidates. The more that Gov. Palin connects directly with the people, the more votes are cast for the McCain-Palin ticket. Voters actually believe those in office will effectively represent us well. That is what gets us to the polls. Do these aides picture themselves as behind-the-scenes puppet-masters. Governor Palin has a proven record of making the hard call from within her own heart and mind.
The job of the aides is to keep information flowing to the decision-maker. They do best when they prevent the decision-maker from being blind-sided.
We Freepers love reports that Gov. Palin is going off of the script, especially if the script comes from those for which we are not voting.
Kudos to Sarah for being Sarah!!
The Communist Party USA endorses Obama too.
Palin is a true leader.
Never listen to your advisers when they are wrong.
