Mr McCain's aides had kept Mrs Palin, 44, under wraps as much as possible, beginning to fear she might become a liability. But fresh from an assured performance in the vice-presidential debate, and with Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, surging ahead in the opinion polls, Mr McCain threw caution to the wind and ordered that Mrs Palin, 44, attack his White House rival repeatedly and ferociously.
Let off the leash on Saturday, Mrs Palin accused Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists who would target their own country" in a reference to him once being a member of a Chicago community group with William Ayers. .....
She added: "This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America."
The Obama campaign responded that Mrs Palin's attack was "gutter politics" and other supporters suggested that the McCain campaign was merely trying to distract voters from the economy, on which Mr Obama is deemed to be more competent.
They believe that John Kerry lost to George W. Bush in 2004 because he did not respond strongly enough to Republican attacks. But they do not intend to stand idly by this time.
Paul Begala, a leading Democratic strategist, said that Mr McCain had been on the board of a group for ultra-conservatives that was once condemned by the Anti-Defamation League as being a forum "for extremists, racists and anti-Semites".
"Now, that's not John McCain, I don't think he is that. But you know, the problem is that a lot of people know John McCain's record better than Governor Palin. And he does not want to play guilt by association or this thing could blow up in his face," said Mr Begala.

The schedule on the McCain site says she’ll be in Florida Monday and Tuesday and then they both go to TN on Tuesday for the debate. Wednesday they both go to PA and OH. Thursday she goes to WI and back to OH.

The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Americans need to ask themselves if theyve ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house because those arent smears, those are true facts about Barack Obama. Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008 That's the best statement I've seen from a McCain spokesman in 2 plus weeks.

Democrats Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Economic Crisis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p1Wc2NFa3w
MORE WARNINGS TO DEMS who actually BLOCKED REPUBLICAN ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE MESS IN 2004 AND 2006
EVEN BEFORE THE HOUSING MARKET TANKED, MCCAIN SPONSORED A BILL TO TRY TO FIX FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC. DEMOCRATS CONTROLLED CONGRESS AND KILLED IT!
Americans everywhere had better quickly come to terms with the fact that the Democrats and their media propaganda machines are anti-American terrorist sympathizers who want America destroyed. They have so completely deceived the public with their Goebbles-style media propaganda machine that misguided “useful idiots” are attacking Republicans the same way that the brown shirts attacked the jews.
THERE IS A TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT ON DEMOCRAT TERRORIST ACTIVITIES!
THE BARAK OBAMA - DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE SCANDAL!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiEWCnpNnBQ
The Story the Democrat Media Propaganda Machine is hiding! The story that EVERYONE IN AMERICA should know!
SEND THESE LINKS TO EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA!
SEND THESE LINKS TO EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA!
If you actually take the time to do the research you will quickly learn that the Democrats want to “tax” oil and gas companies, and push their “green agenda” as a means to control energy. By controlling energy they can then control the means of production. Or put in plain English they can bring America FULLY into Communism. The shrieks for health care reform are related to regulating the medical industry to FORCE them into supporting abortion. The Democrats are nothing but fascists, they do NOT believe in Democracy or they wouldn't routinely take such unpopular stances against the public!
THE MAJOR MEDIA IS NOTHING BUT THE DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA ARM. EXCEPT FOR FOX NEWS THEY WILL NEVER REPORT THIS. THEY ARE ACTIVELY HIDING IT AND COVERING IT UP! GET THE WORD OUT! SEND THIS INFORMATION TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN THE COUNTRY, EVERYTHING THEY THINK THEY KNOW ABOUT DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IS A BIG LIE! A BIG LIE SPONSORED BY THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA PROPAGANDA MACHINE!

"That's the best statement I've seen from a McCain spokesman in 2 plus weeks."
All the quotes out there are either from Palin or a mouthpiece, not from the horse's mouth.
For instance, can ANYBODY repeat his great joke in the first debate....the one I have seen mentioned nowhere?
Damn shame - really neat joke.
