Sarah Palin and John McCain appearing on Greta NOW on the FNC!

The last few days have me once again at the center of a lot of talk. This time, it’s not what I asked candidate Obama or what he said back to me. But it is because I again said exactly what was on mind and some people have now rather gleefully seen my words as a stumble on the national stage. Maybe so–or maybe it’s another step toward honesty that only looks like a stumble to those who think every word must be scrubbed for effect and the political advantage of those “behind the curtain”. For those who missed it,...

Gov. Sarah Palin met with a group of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s former supporters Tuesday evening at a special fund-raising reception organized for them on behalf of the Republican ticket. The reception, which organizers said brought in more than $500,000, was part of an extended evening of fund-raising for Ms. Palin and Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign at the Grand Hyatt in New York that officials estimated raised more than $8 million. Ms. Palin, along with her husband, Todd, mingled and posed for pictures with the group of about 20, before appearing at the larger finance event, which McCain campaign...

While Sarah, Bill, Hillary and McCain are all tough ( Bill probably the least), Bill, Hillary and McCain have all showed an achilles heel. They are afraid of the race card. Now the AP claims that bringing up Ayers is racist. Palin so far seems immune to this and unafraid. They have hit her with everything and she smiles. Hopefully McCains handlers won't suppress her. Bloggers and talk radio can't do their job for them.

Just giving the people what they want: McCain did not mention the flooding during his brief remarks, which focused mainly on the country’s financial crisis. A steady stream of folks started leaving the rally when McCain started speaking, apparently they were there just to see Palin. ...

Family with Down Syndrome Child Meets John McCain and Sarah Palin September 9, 2008 BEGIN TRANSCRIPTRUSH: Kurt in Pittsburgh, hello, sir. Nice to have you on the EIB Network, and how about the Steelers defense? CALLER: How about those Steelers, huh? RUSH: How about that? CALLER: Hey, listen, Rush, longtime listener, first-time caller, one of those Bible, family, gun clingers from western Pennsylvania. RUSH: Thank you. CALLER: And I wanted to share a story with you. A week ago last Saturday we went to the Palin-McCain rally in Washington, Pennsylvania, was the day after he announced her, and we...

Yesterday, we saw a lot of places where the McCain bounce wasn't; today we see some places where it is: The theme here is simply traditionally red states coming home to John McCain in a big way, likely cordoning off certain corners of the electoral map to Barack Obama. A 20-point lead in North Carolina? Wow -- that's a big, shiny number. And it's probably an outlier to a certain extent, considering that Obama's numbers didn't appear to have suffered very much in neighboring Virginia. But even if it is a big outlier -- say Obama is really down 10...

Consider the various cool terms vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin could have used in describing herself to Republican Party convention delegates Wednesday night: Moose-hunter. Political trailblazer. And the best one: former journalist. Instead, she settled with obvious pride on "just your average hockey mom." She then adorned that title with a joke on how you tell the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull. "Lipstick," she said to loud laughter in the arena. What, you might ask, is your average hockey mom? Is there such a thing? Are they any different from soccer moms or Little League moms?...

With the Palin choice for VP yesterday, my wife is extremely excited and motivated to support the McCain/Palin ticket. We are thinking of doing some precinct volunteer work now.

(CNN) – A leading House Democrat said Thursday John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is a "risky" move that could ultimately prove disastrous to the Republican prospects in November. Meanwhile, a top Senate Democrat said the pick is a "Hail Mary pass" and a "roll of the dice," in what is the initial reactions from McCain's rival party.

Eight minutes on ANWR, taxing “windfalls,” and her VP prospects from last night’s “Kudlow & Company.” Nothing surprising here in light of her recent letter to Reid, but it’s the first chance I’ve had to see her talking politics in an extended segment and so I figured it’s probably yours, too. Is that what an Alaskan accent sounds like? Not quite Canadian, not quite North Dakotan.
