Obama camp in panic as ‘Xena’ Sarah Palin scythes through support
Times - UK ^ | September 14, 2008 | Sarah Baxter

Posted on 09/13/2008 2:00:16 PM PDT by NewMediaFan

THE high-heeled, moose-hunting governor of Alaska has sent Barack Obama’s campaign into a state of panic as support for the Democratic presidential candidate haemorrhages in the battleground states he must win to reach the White House.

Sarah Palin, 44, continued to scythe through Obama’s support among women by taunting the first potential black president for declining to choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate and by declaring that questions about juggling work and family were “kind of irrelevant” in the modern age.

The mother of five, who has been called Xena, the warrior princess, said in a television interview: “I think he’s regretting not picking [Clinton] now, I do. What determination and grit and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way - she handled those well,” Palin said.

She presented herself as a champion of no-fuss, no-non-sense working mothers. “Of course you can be the vice-presi-dent and you can raise a family,” she said brightly. “I’m the governor and I’m raising a family.”

...The Democrat cheers that greeted the selection of veteran senator Joe Biden, 65, the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, as Obama’s running mate have died away.

These guys are on the verge of blowing the greatest gimme in the history of American politics.

Which BTW explains why they ran the One. If you have a gimme and you are rats you may as well run the most rabid marxist, racist you can. And, run the dope Biden to signal they is plenty of room for all Dem snots at the trough for the old money crowd.

I wonder if Joe Biden has quietly hired a food taster?

Actually, I think Biden will dump 0bama.

And from some comments I have heard from Dems, 0bama might want to consider a food taster.

All you have to do is go to DU and you realize they are not dealing in reality (Obama voters that is.) If his supporters are any indication of the arrogance in his campaign, then there really is a problem. I imagine it’s frustrating the Dem insiders to no end. I’ve even noticed liberal journalists trying to give Obama pointers how to get back on his game.

The Obama adviser said the Democratic candidate should remain true to himself. “He has to be who he is."

But exactly who is he?

God Bless the UK press (and thanx to God for the Internet).

The Brit press is liberal, but the US LameStream Medjia is so far Left beyond simple bias, that it makes the Brit press look neutral in comparison.

I love the way Sarah has neatly neutralized the Beast by praising her and having nothing but kind words for her.

Brilliant!!! LOL!

He can't be who he is, the American people would reject him overwhelmingly.

Food-taster---no. Sex-reassignment surgery---yes.

The Sunday Times, UK: ..... "the Illinois senator hit back with a negative advertisement mocking his 72-year-old rival for being out of date and out of touch with computer technology, including e-mail. ... It backfired when it emerged that McCain was unable to type because he was injured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam."

Copy the following link (http://www.forbes.com/asap/2000/0529/053_print.html) and quote from Forbes.com.

Note its original date: May 29, 2000

Paste it all over the Internet.

Forbes.com .... May 29, 2000 ...... "In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate's savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. "She's a whiz on the keyboard, and I'm so laborious," McCain admits."

Sarah taunts Obama about VP choice. Biden taunts self about VP choice. All of this makes me very, very happy. Now I’m off to put lipstick on my fish and then let it ride my bicycle. What a world, what a world!

I'm having that thought - he's trying to find a way out/

Heck, HE's been in Washington since 1973. Time to retire anyway. He took a last shot = with visions of being the next president.

That ain't gonna happen and his window is slamming shut. Go out with the bit of dignity you might still have, Joe.

Mark Penn, Clinton’s former chief strategist, said: “The media is doing the kinds of stories on Palin that they’re not doing on the other candidates. People are going to conclude that they’re giving her a rougher time. This is an election in which the voters are going to decide for themselves.”

These guys are quick.

“Now if Obama does try to switch from Biden to Clinton, it will look like he’s following Palin’s suggestion.”

I really think there’s more and more of a chance of this happening. Hillary on the ticket gives Obama a much better chance at the Whitehouse then Hillary steps in after 8 years max. If McCain/Palin wins Hillary may have to wait 16 years!!!
