The week before I married on my family’s homestead in Alaska, we found out Sarah Palin had been picked to be Sen. John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate.
This was big news for Alaska. Nearly everyone we knew was thrilled, even people who weren’t huge Palin fans. At the time, Palin was a popular governor who’d made a name for herself fighting a corrupt good ol’ boys system that had prevailed for too long in state politics. She was a Republican, but seen as a moderate who was willing to work with Democrats and take on powerful special interests, including the oil companies that held sway in the state capitol. People liked her, even if they didn’t always agree with her politics.

Heels up can’t tie Palins shoes.
Palin never did anything to embarrass herself. The stupidity was coming from her children. Harris can’t say that.
I do not have high hopes that the media’s hypocrisy will become a big topic.
The media won’t care one bit about how they treated Sarah Palin when it comes to their treatment of Kamala Harris. It’s an irrelevancy.
Well, looks like Biden will win California now. heh, heh...
at least you admit her kiddos were a sideshow.
lots of people here make/made plenty of excuses.
The media has no conscience (nor consciousness) to haunt. They have deflective amnesia.
None of us can control the bad choices made by our adult children unfortunately.
none of the women on national tickets have been from swing states.
Ferraro - NY
Palin - AK
Clinton - NY
Kamala - CA
Where Kamala stands out is that she is the first to not have any children.
There’s no comparison between Palin and Kommiela. Only stark contrasts. Palin is a definitely a woman. Kommiela is a thing.
You simply MUST read what Palin posted to Harris on Twitter.
It wasn’t just the media, IIRC. The Left burned her church to the ground, and hacked her personal email account without any legal repercussions. No arrests, no jail time, nothing.
Has a MSM operative rented a place close to Harris’ home to watch her?
Has the MSM launched a deep history op to dig up and broadcast any and all dirt on Harris?
Will the MSM ridicule as many Harris statements as possible?
Will the MSM do articles on Harris’ many political problems and issue failures?
Will the MSM publish lots of interviews of citizens that dislike Harris?
If not, why not? The MSM did so with VP candidate Sarah Palin.
She has no motherly instincts, she's nasty.
“In the coming months, a phalanx of mainstream media outlets and leftist women’s groups will be deployed to defend Sen. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden’s vice-presidential pick, by labeling any and all criticism of her as sexist and possibly racist.”
Hollywood already is “joyfully celebrating” Bidens choice. And the media is treating this as if She's running against Trump.........but she's not......so hopefully our side will continue to poke at Biden rather than make her Trumps opponent.

Exactly.....Palin’s history.
John McCain was the Joe Biden of his day. He was the designated loser. I was not (and never was) a supporter of McCain but I like the feisty Governor from Alaska.
When it looked like Palin would drag his sorry butt over the finish line McCain staff turned on Palin.
Joe Biden is the designated loser for 2020. Harris is there to placate the minority base.
Half Asian Indian and Jamaican now bills herself as “African-American) See her Wikipedia page, that is how she is described.
I like to think I get information from both inside and outside the bubble but I can not predict the mind of American Voters. So we will see if Kamilla Harris becomes the first woman President. It would almost be worth the pain just to see Hillary’s head explodes.
