Holy smokes! JD is telling us this is his last hour on the air!
He is saying he will be heard from again in the public arena.
We'll just have to wait and see. She has definite plans to attend a McCain fundraiser in Phoenix in March. I posted a link earlier. And TV reports I saw said she planned to attend a couple of other events with McCain after that fundraiser.
But the Arizona primary voting day is August 31st, so we have seven full months to see what role she will or won't play in the McCain vs. Hayworth senate race, and other races such as Rubio vs. Crist, etc.
Norge is a McCainiac. Take it for what it is.
JD will far exceed what Brown raised or Joe Wilson for that matter. JD was back in DC a few weeks ago meeting with Citizens United (the same group that filed the law suit that just led to the gutting of McCain-Feingold by SCOTUS). McCain is so disliked by conservatives that JD will be flooded with donations. Money won’t be a problem. The real problem will be the McCain attack dogs who have no qualms about going after Reps. The Dems are the ones that they treat with kid gloves.
Having JD win would be soooo sweet.
And think of this: If Brown was able to beat a Liberal Democrat in MA, I think entirely possible for JD to beat this RINO in AZ.
By the way, you have a great tag...so true! God has heard our prayers!
I posted the entire interview from newsbuster’s when it was called for one time, but I didn;t save it. Maybe SoCalPol savedit, because I recall pinging her to the post. Sarah was crystal clear. She stated “what is it about “ILLEGAL that you don’t understand?”
Sarah is not an elected office holder and it’s likely she won’t be holding elected office whne ‘immigration reform’ is decided, so I am directing my concerns to those who are holding electing office.
I don't think McCain has any close friends, especially not Sarah. I think he uses everybody that befriends him. Wait, I'll take that back. He loves Gramnasty and was drinking buddies with Fat Teddy.
This was discussed during the campaign and the clear consensus of constitutional attorneys is that being born on a U. S. military base meets the requirement of the U. S. Constitution. Besides it is a non-issue now because that is not a Constitutional requirement for the U. S. Senate.

It doesn’t appear he was born on a US military base ... the Senate passed a NON-BINDING resolution saying he was a natural born citizen. Doesn’t establish that he was, and many legal minds don’t believe he is.

“John Sidney McCain, III, is a `natural born Citizen’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”
—U.S. Senate Resolution, April 30, 2008.
On Wednesday evening, the U.S. Senate unanimously declared John S. McCain III a “natural-born citizen,” eligible to be president of the United States. That was the good news for the presumptive Republican nominee, who was born nearly 72 years ago in a military hospital in the Panama Canal Zone. The bad news is that the Senate resolution is a non-binding opinion that fails to resolve one of the murkiest, untested areas of the U.S. constitution.
*snip*
The Facts
Article two of the constitution states that “no person except a natural born citizen...shall be eligible to the Office of president.” Legal cases have been filed in at least three states—New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and California—challenging McCain’s eligibility for the presidency. You can read the New Hampshire filing, by a 49-year-old computer programmer named Fred Hollander, here.
The McCain campaign has consulted two leading jurists, Theodore Olsen and Laurence Tribe, on the constitutional issues. Olsen and Tribe were on opposite sides of the 2000 Bush vs Gore Supreme Court case, but they see eye to eye on the question of McCain’s eligibility for the presidency. They argue that McCain is a natural born citizen because the United States exercised sovereignty over the Panama Canal at the time of his birth on August 29, 1936, he was born on a U.S. military base, and both of his parents were U.S. citizens. The Olsen-Tribe opinion is available here.
Sarah Duggin, an associate law professor at Catholic University, who has made a detailed study of the natural born issue, says the question is not as simple as Olsen and Tribe make out. While she believes that McCain would likely win a determined legal challenge to his eligibility to be president, she says the matter can only be fully resolved by a constitutional amendment or a decision of the Supreme Court.
McCain’s birth on August 29, 1936, in what was then the Panama Canal Zone was announced in the English language Panamanian American, available here. The McCain campaign has declined to publicly release his birth certificate, but a senior campaign official showed me a copy.
Contrary to some Internet rumors that McCain was born outside the Canal Zone, in Colon, the document records his birth in the Coco Solo “family hospital.”

Gov. Palin will be damaged either way it turns out, if she does, in fact, campaign for McAmnesty.
1. McReachAcrosstheAisle wins: She is blamed for torpedoing JD, and thus we lose a true Conservative.
2. JD wins: She is forever stained as McManiacs (enter filthy nasty term here)
JD was targeted for defeat by the DNC and the left for a reason. Hes dangerous. He takes no prisoners. He reaches across the aisle swinging a Louisville Slugger.
We need JD, not an anti-American, Dumocrat kissing, Grand RINO.
I’m not naive, so I think something like this has been put in place. It could be something as crazy as McCain is ready to retire and won’t try to win...like what he did for president...
Either that or Palin has done her first bad deed in “real politics”.
Yep.
I posted at # 335 how I saw McCain boxing Palin in whether she said "yes" or "no" to supporting him.
Seems to me he was very cynical and calculating about this. But, as I said, somehow I think things will work out and Palin and Hayworth will end up winners.
LOL. Yeah right. I have a home in Scottsdale. McCain couldn’t even win the AZ presidential primary with 50% of the vote or more, the only top tier candidate of either party who failed to win his/her home state with 50% or more of the vote. And this will be a closed Rep Senate Primary. McCain can’t win like he did in NH. And McCain became the presumptive nominee with just 31% of the vote in 2008. Among Reps, McCain is a loser.
Sarah refers to him as a *close* friend. That's all I was going on - her word.

You need to up date and also do better reasearch.
Sarah Palin is against amnesty, for a secure border.
Just damn.
5.5 million !!! Sheeesh.
Well, ‘somebody’ has a sense of humor.
kabar,
Good analysis...I definately agree! I think you’ll also see JD’s poll numbers skyrocket! I think a recent poll had it McCain 50%, JD 35%...or something like that. And JD hadn’t even announced that he was running when the poll was conducted!
Oh, and let McCain bring out his attack dogs. He’ll get crushed by the Tea Party Steam Roller! As I said, I can’t wait to donate to JD!
Step away from the bong... slowly... slowly...
I live in Mohave County. In case you don't know geography, that's in AZ. You say the obscenity "John McCain" in Mohave County, you'll be arrested.
And deservedly so.
And by the way, Maricopa County (Phoenix) tilts to the right. They have the votes, and I understand that. That's why this primary is so important. The Republican that wins it, will win the general election in the fall.
Hayworth must win this primary. Are you with us or not?
Um, no.
I’m in his old district, and I was polled yesterday.
Voting for McCain. No oaf.
McRino and Romney financed SCOTT BROWN’S campaign in the beginning. Without the money Scott would not have been able to run. Scott Brown is McRino’s friend.
Palin: we need to close the borders.
They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.
Its pretty simple I ratched that one down to the simple answer because its an easier answer than some politicians want it to make it be.
you close the borders. You get more agressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do
