Gosh! The little ole women on the Republican ticket , just can't take it. What was McCain thinking. , and to the National enquirer, werent they the ones who were following John edwards and publishing the "infedility" almost A YEAR, before, edwards admitted it. Hmmmmm..what DO they know now.
I question McCains wisdom in nominating a VP, where the american public is going "huh".

OMG, next they'll be rehashing John McCain's affair with a trashy socialite named Cindy, while his wife was recuperating from an automobile accident.

where's your sense of humor – mccain
can i sue you for the lies you and your repub friends have told me

btw – mccain said he never loved his country until he was a prisoner of war – you can love your country and not be proud of some of the things it has done – michelle should start telling everyone this

Ask John Edwards about how the "Enquirer" gets things wrong! They break a great deal of stories on the political front! Wait till it hits Entertainment Tonight, then it will be true.

What else is their to do in Alaska? My husband grew up in Alaska until he was a young teen. There us a 2 to 1 ratio of men vs women in Alaska. If a girl is half way pretty she is getting bonked all the time. They have sex early. That is well known. Highest std's rate over there too.

The game is
Bristol is about 5 months pregnant
Bristol might have a miscarriage
I still believe she has 4 kids unless she proves the 5th. Show us the proof. She covers her lie with another lie. She tries to push it until the election. Just like Edwards!

Well,
If it's true, that really would me her and McCain are made for each other, since he and Cindy are ADULTERERS! They got together while he was married to his first wife! So much for Conservative Moral/Religious Values! And he has integrity…Please..! Help me and can't stop laughing at the hypocracy

when the national enquier wrote about John Edwards then they were a great newspaper now the shoe on the other foot and the Repubs do not like it stange very strange

This Is What Happens When The News Media Has To Do The Vetting! What Did You Expect? Something New And Disturbing Will Come Out Everyday! There Is Not Enough Spin In The World To Fight All The Negatives That Will Soon Come Out!

I think McCain should have spent more time checking this person out rather jumping to the conclusion that she was a perfect running mate after on about 15 minutes conversation. The old maverick ain't what he used to be. And Sarah Palin ain't what she appears to be at first glance either.

This choice says a whole lot about how ready he IS to lead this country. Scarey…..

The "guilty" always theaten with a law suit…it's their only defense!
The National Enquirer probably has their story right.

When the National Enquirer exposed John Edwards affair, the Republicans were all over it.

Now they're (National Enquirer) a disgrace?

However, we are supposed to take pride in a woman who can shoot and fielddress a moose. ! LOL

It must be true, because who really cares what the National Enquirer has to say! It must be true, and her husband didn't know. Well he knows now! Who ever this person is, he will be paid well to come out of the closet!

What goes around comes around….same old way.

I thought the Enquirer was the last bastion of good journalism? So said Faux News when they questioned why real journalists weren't following the NE's lead and going with the story about Edwards and his mistress. NOW it's a rag that spreads lies? Um, OK. Let me know when you change your mind again, repubs.

I'm disgusted byond control over the parading of a 17 year old unwed pregnant teen, to include the Baby daddy on the campaign trail. Am I to understand that he is a H.S. dropout? And, they're supposed to get married? Give me a break. What an awful message to send to our kids. I teach school, and even my 8th graders think it's the wrong message to send. These students seem to have more sense and moral values than the Palins, McCain, Repugnants and the evangelicals who support this farse. Thank God for sensible children!

The whole "most popular governor in the country" thing is quite a stretch. She's has the highest popularity rating within her state–which should not be a surprise since she is relatively young and attractive, and is a Republican governor of a highly Republican state with a very small population. She's also very new, which means her citizens haven't had time to get sick of her and blame all their problems on her yet.

It is over.

America does not need this.

Looks like Sarah Palin breaks every of her preset values.
What a hypocrisy.

“Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country."

The only reason anyone even knows who she is is because McCain nominated her you idiot. Who's running the republican show over there?

You are kidding right? You think ANY democrat wants Palin off the ticket? Her being on the tickets practically guarantees a democratic victory. Democrats love this ticket.

Isn't this the party that say sueing is out of hand, and that liberals whine too much? Maybe this is McCain's version of bipartisanship.

Jeez, getting a little jumpy about your Veep pick? Lowly little National Enquirer, the least reliable rag on the check out stand, has angered the mighty GOP? Tells you where they get their news from…

Is this the media the claim is out to destroy Palin? Because I haven't seen it from anyone else.

The same "paper," of course, has accused just about everybody in the world (and many mythical creatures) of sexual misconduct – including McCain and Obama. The fact that NE "broke" the Edwards story (ie got one story out of millions right – see blind squirrel finding nut), and the GOP spin cycle spent so long chastising the MSM for not following up on the NE's "reporting" on that issue must have some in Limbaugh/o'Reilly land terrified their base might believe it this time, too. I'm certainly not swayed by anything the Enquirer has to say – unless they find the Loch Ness monster in Vermont (again)!

With all the skeletons that have already come out of her closet, this one could be the next…wake up America, this lady is dangerous. Remember she could be just a heartbeat away!…OMG!

McCain's Gonna sue? I think it's Palin that would have to sue.
How come the father of Bristol's kid isn'tlocked up for statuatory rape?
Maybe they don't have that law in Alaska ,they have to propagate the population so Palin get get 47 votes next time she runs for City Council.
Palin's gonna talk about McCain? What she's known him for a week.

Maybe that's who she had an affair with

She isn't the most popular Governor in the US, Schwartzenegger is. Until McCain announced her as the VP, nobody outside of Alaska had even heard of her.

Elle September 3rd, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Oh no…not at all…Please leave her on the ticket…it's a dream come true for democrats.

I can't wait to see how the story about her marital affair turns out, or if it's true. Granted it's National Enquirer, but they are also the ones who broke some of the biggest news around (thats admittedly sad, which we can agree on).

If i were McCain I will ask her to show me her pussssieeee so I can test it with my fingers and willie, just to make sure she has not slept with anyone apart from her husband.

logic is before he goes ahead with this, he measures the husbands willie….if her pussssieeee is any wider or deeper than her husband's willie….then I will vote for McCain as he is the greatest cheater cather ever

Poor John McCain. You have to forgive him, he's having life problems. He can't seem to find one.

Sorry but the NE is junk stuff, it's sad that McCain even has to make a comment about it. It is spiraling out of control, I guess the "BOLD" move of the maverick just came back to slap him in the face. Again I will pick Judgement over so called experiance.

I did not see them crying when they went after edwards.

wow!!…we didnt see barack want to sue the new yorker….the repugs just laughed it off…when that guy from swiftboat wrote his book about barack saying he cant be president because all the lies about barack were true…repugs praised it….when repugs slamed michelle obama for being" unpatriotic" when she was only talking about the elction process and young people getting evovled… so u tell me now mcsame wants to sue ppl when they talk bad about his mistake of a vp…..the nerve….

"Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country."

LOL What the hell. Hardly anyone has even heard of her before.

I freakin love politics! Its better than Saturday Night Live or Mad TV Sometimes.

Maybe they got it wrong and meant to talk about the numerous affairs of John McCain.

Ronald Reagen must be turning in his grave to think that in 2008 this is the best that the Republicans can come up with. I believe he would turn back to being a Democratic.

People people please for the good of this country stop this now and declare Obama/Biden our next POTUS/VP.

“ National Enquirer” broke so many information which happen to be true after..

That's what you get for not vetting properly and setting the table for your VP candidate. Now, your advisor's wish will come true-Sarah Palin WILL be vetted thoroughly by the American People-and the American Press, legitimate and otherwise. Fair or not, there it is. There is a price to be paid for being sloppy and reckless at this level of Politics JM, like it or not.

This hurts the Democratic cause — the GOP can push her as a martyr, and the real issues — extreme anti-abortion stance, corruption, irresponsible financial management, earmark Queen, etc. — go away. Who cares who she sleeps with? Clinton screwed half of D.C., if you believe some, and the country was still ten times better off than under presumably faithful Bush.

Why doesn't McCain let the media interview Palin until she has been completely "madeover" by White House aides? Is it because she has so much to hide and they are experts at "hiding?"

Is the National Enquirer scooping the MSM again? After the Edwards affair who knows.

Oh please, they're taking the Enquirer seriously? Are there any famous people who _haven't_ had BS printed about them in the Enquirer? Just because they accidentally got the Edwards thing right doesn't suddenly make them credible or worth paying any attention to.

But hey, while we're threatening lawsuits for slander, can I and other Obama voters sue McCain for accusing us of being mindless "kool-aid" drinkers and being "the MTV crowd"? I've never felt as personally insulted and derided by a political campaign as I have by McCain's.

So why would this be false if the "rumors" about John Edwards were so true? Huh, Rethuglican hypocrites?

Great throw of the dice McCain. Any idiot could have seen this coming once you saw the baggage she brought to the table.

Oh wait, they didn't check her out until after the chose her. How Bushlike!

Add FREE SPEECH as another American Right that McCain and the GOP want "thrown under the Bus".

The National Enquirer were right about John Edwards. I'm willing to cut them some slack to see if they can prove their allegation.

Also, Sarah Palin was the Governor of a state with just over 600,000 people with 25,000 people on the taxpayer payroll. That's not a small Republican Reagan type government. That's not being a Maveric.

Most popular governor in the country…um try Arnold of CalEEfornEEya. I mean McCain doesn't even know who she is…and its not because of a senior moment.

Give it up PRESS. Go on out to a cemetary and look for DIRT.

Sarah has more experience and qualifications tobe Vice-President than any pick in recent history. If the Nominee were so insecure as to NEED someone ( just in case; or because they expected to be a – heart beat shy of doing th job) HE SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING. Sarah is going to HELP John McCain – not replace him. And in the event that a situation SHOULD OCCUR where she had to "STEP IN" for the President IFEEL SARAH PALIN WILL BE PREPARED AND WILL DO A TERRIFIC JOB.

pUT THAT IN YOUR PEACE PIPE AND SMOKE IT !

Sarah Palin is ready to be the vice-president (of her local school board in Alaska). Bad choice Johnnie, weknow you are at a risky age to hold this office, and now you put her on the ticket. Wow. How rash.

Her conservative belief is an insult to all women who believes in equality and empowerment. She pulls the country behind! Just like she did with her family! She is an insult to our intelligence and our straggle. I am a supporter of Hillary Clinton. She is not HRC. She never will be. I actually lost all my respect for McCain for trying to manipulate us, woman by choosing picking her.

Wow. The Republicans are coming out against a story before it even prints…they must be afraid. I wouldn't be surprised if she had an affair. American politicians spend their whole lives grooming themselves to possibly be President or VP but this woman if from Alaska. First of all, they don't even like folks from the states and secondly this woman was busy not paying attention to her kids, shooting and eating moose and attending AIP meetings while bailing her drunk husband out of jail. The LAST thing on her mind was becoming the VP of the U.S. so it wouldn't surprise me that among all of the other things she was doing in her regular life she found time to have an extramarital affair. It just makes sense.

Palin must stay on the ticket. She is currently unappreciated for the help she'll give the Democrats in the upcoming days leading to the election. Besides, where can you ever find entertainment like her. Of course she had an affair. I still await proof Twig is hers. Only on the basis of what she says that Bristol is 5 months along does the prove exist. On stage tonight doesn't this have a literary parallel? Help me out here. Doesn’t Nathanial Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter come to mind? Take a back seat, Nate, because Sarah Palin’s unfolding story entwined with the RNC’s holier-than-thou MO is definitely better than fiction. In fact, if this story were a novel, it'd be thrown aside as too outrageous.

Since both candidates are worthless, I decided not to vote. Now with Palin as McCain's VP,,I will vote for McCain. If McCain takes Palin off the ticket,,,It's simple – I vote for Obama just for fun.

Sad that so many people can't handle strong women in powerful positions. I guess McCain should have learned something by the way the Obama camp treated Hillary.
Sad, sad, sad. I guess I'll have to tell my granddaughters that only men can aspire to be president, or vice president.

The truth appears that men would rather have a limited experienced President than a limited experienced vice president.
Sad.

Well the National Enquirer broke the story and they haven't lost too many law suits these days. So go ahead and sue them so the real truth comes out. I think I might actually buy my 1st copy. Or Wait, maybe the editor might hang themselves like the Washington Madame… hint hint… Republicans keep their dirty secrets closey guarded….

Who, or what was the extramarital affair with, I hope it was`nt with a MOOSE……

Tee-hee. Reublicans are foaming at the mouth. Gotta love it!

That's the name of the game.

Oh my it's amusing to see how much the Mcshame people cry like babies. What's wrong can't take heat whenthrown to you but it's o.k to slander Obama and his family. This proves how onesidedc and pathetic the Mcshame camp is. Grow up Mcshames.

Don't be too quick to dismiss the National Enquirer. They've been right on target lately.

Meanwhile, Palin just keeps draining the McCain ticket dry.

Nice job, John. You dissed Romney, Lieberman, Ridge, Hutchinson, and Pawlenty to get yourself photographed with an air-head from he Yukon.

I thought Mitt Romney was the most popular Governor in the nation!!!

I hate being wrong!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!! VOTE SMART…. NOT SENILE!!!

THE COMPARISON BETWEEN oBAMA AND PALIN IS ABSURD…OBAMA WAS VETTED..AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM IN TH EPAST 18 MOS. PALIN WAS FOISTED ON US BY A HASTY, IMPUSLIVE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN.

NOW THEY WHINE ABOUT SMEARING TACTICS? YOU CAN HANDLE IT , WAR HERO.

Welcome to national politics Mrs. Palin. Clinton, Obama and McCain all had to go through it. Consider it a welcome gift.

I'm laughing over here! Her life should be on Jerry Springer! Not the White House

Well well well, here comes some characther defects that we all know about John McCain..Go read the history on him and Cindy.

This is the most entertaining political story in years!

I literally can't wait to see what new revelation tomorrow will bring!

So this election is high school, popularity means you can do no wrong…

oh wait, Obama's popularity didn't stop McCain's smear campaign, as I recall, they tried to turn Obama's popularity into a negative…

The truth is, the McCain camp is so conscious of their lame choice of VP. They are working hard to make it look good, therefore they can't afford any vile and ugly truth to be dug about her especially since they did not make a thourough investigation prior to selecting her..

You CNN jokers cant leave Palin's daughter alone, but no one is reporting on the fact that Biden's daughter was arrested.

Hmm…arrested vs. getting knocked up 1 year before you're 18. SHE'S almost 18!!! Who cares!!! She's fine…the baby will be fine. It would have been an issue if she was 15. Come on CNN….let it go. You guys are ridiculous!!!

BIAS, BIAS, BIAS.

Hillary 2012

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU DONT THOROUGHLY AND PROPERLY VET…

Now when did the National Enquirerer start reporting on politics? Those are smears, if there is no proof, but what other news outlets are trying to do by asking relevant questions are not smears!

The Repugs can"t complain. Wasn't it the National Enquirer that broke the John Edwards scandal? Did they complain then?

LOL

**
Sorry John McCain.. but maybe you forgot to tell them you are a POW and rsponsible for the surge.. Maybe then they will back off Alaska Annie..

**

Grow-Up and take it like a POW..!!

**

Come on, hasn't every politician EVER been accused of extramarital affairs? She should just be flattered they consider her one of the gang.

I don't understand. Republicans are actually planning to smear Michelle Obama during their prime-time convention slot tonight, and yet they throw a hissy fit over an article about Palin in the Enquirer? What a bunch of sensitive, hypocritical, hateful slime-bags.

Wait, I'm sorry….they're considering suing the NATIONAL ENQUIRER?? Does anybody really take the National Enquirer that seriously?

The Republicans will accuse ANY media of being biased. What's ridiculous – NBC and ABC both carried coverage of the Republican convention last night, but neither carried coverage of the DNC until Obama's acceptance speech.

they should have thought of this when they spent the last years smearing the Clintions and now Michelle Obama

payback is tough…

I thought McCain & Palin were tough, its what day 2 and they are crying foul… come on please

Is Sarah Palin really the ABSOLUTE BEST individual the Republicans could come up with for Vice-President of the United States?

What about Dan Quayle? Karl Rove? Dick Cheney? Albert Gonzales? Ollie North? Ralph Reed? Dan Abramhoff, … well, I guess it true.

Chants>>> JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!…

This is like a soap opera gone wrong.
Can't wait for tomorrow.

PS: McCain, maybe she needed more vetting….and oh, maybe you needed to get to know her better too? Just a thought

Well… I guess now the NE is on the same shelf as CNN…

I'm laughing so hard it hurts!!!

This is hysterical. I haven't had this much fun watching the Republicans flounder in years.

What, the National Enquirer hit a little too close to home, McInfidelity?

As a former democrat of 25 years and now a registered independent, I can proudly say that I am no longer a democrat and so proud of that fact. This country is becoming increasingly more divided day by day. We should end the 2 party system and become Americans once again. Maybe then, good quality people can run for office and actually get some work done!!!

The Republicans cannot take it if you have not noticed they have been abusing there power just to shut any opposition to there platform.

I am very disturbed about the fact that McCain did not have a discussion with Larry King because he was upset on Campbell trying to get some necessary facts that the public needs to know about Palin. He is like a spoiled brat. I hope that this attitude is not indicative of how he will run the country if he is elected. Vote Obama 08!

The republican party is supposed to be all about family values. Guiliani is speaking tonight, he had a mistress in the N.Y. state house while his wife and child resided there. Newt was interviewed last night and he was running on his wife while condemning President Clinton. Senator McCain confessed cheating on his first wife for eight years. Now, Mrs.Palin puts her daughter in the public arena when she knew she was pregnant. If these people were democrats, they would have been crucified and everyone knows it. I guess it depends on which party does the deed as to whether it is sin or not. As a Christian, the preacher that called for rain for the democratic convention, made me ashamed that he was supposedly is called a man of God.

They say she is the most popular Governor in the country .How come I never heard of her until just recently and she wasnt even on the VP Short List.All of a sudden she is a the ideal choice and just what the republican party nedds a breath of fresh air.After 8 years of a failed republican President and VP and a failed republican party and administration of course they need a breath of fresh air .But even with Palin it would be still just more of the same Failure..

They seemed ok with it when John Edwards was the target, and he wasn't even campaigning…

The National Enquirer broke the story about the Edwards Affair too.
Everyone blew it off until after the vote. Then it turned out the Enquirer had the story exactly right. But do not worry Palin. Since you claim to be a Christian. Dr. Dobson and Focus on the Family will hail you as a Hero for staying married despite your adulterous affair.

McCain's few remaining hairs must be afire!

Boy, the news is really targeting Palin. And, why? Does not make sense. Democrats that feel the news is going a little 'too far' on Palin & family.

MCCAIN QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! people want change new future for America not the same old politics destroying our country and makeing everyone poor. One percent od RICH families favor mccain RNC is full of rich people and they support their pockets. Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!!!!! real American heros!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If McCain is so concerned about Palin's daughter and asking media to respect her Privacy, why have a Photo-op with the Daughter and the soon to be husband?

So the GOP had no problem with the media smearing Obama for literally months on end, but all of a sudden their sensitivity is sickening. Grow a pair and nut up GOP. You've been doing this crap for years, and now it's your turn.

McCain's getting "testy".!

snicker…..You can sure tell when the libs are scared just by how they ratchet up their "if it stinks, fling it" machine.

You people are funny. Thanks CNN for the cheap laff….

I guess experience only counts if you are running for VP, not President. We will see who is laughing when either McCain wins, or Obama raises your taxes. Nothing like working for Uncle Sam….

I agree, smearing of ALL the candidates must end. The McCain campaign has been putting out ads that lie about Obama, that should end as well. Keep it simple, keep it true, keep it respectful. But, as disgusting as this tabloid crap is, there is a part of me that has to say that it appears that the chickens are coming home to roost . You are going to get what you give, it's as simple as that. What a way to elect a President. The world is probably very entertained by this.

"the most popular governor in the country" ???? WHAT COUNTRY?? I'd bet Bobby Jindal of Lousiana tops the beauty queen in most peoples mind….among others…..get real fool.

Whether it's true or not, it wouldn't be a surprise to anybody because the McCain campaign didn't vet her properly. I'm sure there's much more to come about her! After all, her husband was an alcholic….I'm sure there must be some marital problems!

Wasn't Schmidt the guy who was on the giving end of the McCain "black baby scandal" in 2004?

Bully's and liars can give but they do not like to take.

This kind of discourse certainly makes me want to chant, "USA, USA, USA!"

McCain has proved he's not a hands-on leader and he's got terrible judgment. With a hands-off, poor judgment approach, I wonder which lobbyists will be running our economy? Phil Gram? Oh lord!

McCain must fire whoever vetted Palin. There seems to be a lot still out there on her, who knows when it'll explode.

A party of sue-ers.

It's the American way.

Wow, the Republicans can sure dish it out, but they certainy can't take it. I guess it's OK for their operatives to Swiftboat Kerry and Obama, but when it comes to one of their own, it's all of a sudden outrageous and grossly unfair. Give me a break!!!
John McCain made a bad choice for VP and now he has to live with the fallout from it.

It just doesn't get any better from the Obama gutter people. THIS is his base — no thanks!

Crazy how they are forced to "defend" her so quickly. The last week has been a circus. Now I do feel bad for Palin because I doubt she expected to be under such microscope and scrutiny like this. But it's a double-edge blade on both sides. Everyone has been getting hits from everywhere. Obama and his wife have been attacked numerous times as well.

Happens.

Maybe McCain should've vetted his running mate better.

Now she's the most popular governor in the country???

Umm, until a few days ago, I don't think anybody even knew who she was.

Well so much for the party of family values!! Marital fidelity is not a strong of the republican ticket!!

K A R M A!

Definitely thinking the issues are not getting talked about because of this Republican. veep.

This is getting interesting…………………

A lawsuit would not provide lots of food for the media? That would be even more fun.

so let me get this straight…some 17 year old self proclaimed "redneck" knocks up the governor's daughter and, as a reward for his brilliant decision making and life skills, he gets to share the national spotlight with one of our countries most prominent politicians john mccain…the hypocrisy just never ends…

Gee, the democrats who are calling for Palin's removal from the ticket must really be threatened by her. GOOD!

Did we realize that she was the most popular governor when McCain announced her as his VP and everybody went "huh?"

Hey Kathleen! McCain can always borrow money from his rich wife or his lobbyist buddies.

I'm almost getting sick of this, but it's nothing compared to what the Repubs would have hit the Dems with if this was reversed. Carry on!

Hasty decisions? Judgment? Impulsivity? Temperament? Question character of opponent? Slam opponent's family? Tell half truths? Facade of change when voted over 90% with Bush? Now sexism? About candidate not issues? Cannot question new VP choice?

McCain's campaign

What hypocrisy from the liberal left! They are the party that has always promoted women can do it all…be wives, mothers, and career women. And then when one appears on the scene that is a different party, the hypocrisy starts!! And the American people can see it. Obama-Biden will bring nothing new, just plain ole politics as usual. And you people are all deceived. The blind following the blind.

This is just plain sad. I'm beginning to question whether Senator McCain has enough sense to continue in the Senate where there are 99 others to keep him out of the trees. This man can't run a campaign, let alone a country.

Obama was called Muslim and a terrorist by republican author. Yet Obama did not cry like a baby. Wake up McCain . Americans are not stupid.

Even though its the Enquirer, there may be some truth to the article. My parents always told me "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

CNN has a lot of Libby Dems hot and bothered by Palin.

"Don't pay no mind to the exit polls this Nov. -Remember 2004″

1 more for McCain Nation

SHE FOUGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION AND IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CORRUPTION!!!!

WHAT SCARES ME IS McCAIN'S TEMPERAMENT. HE MIGHT TAKE US INTO ANOTHER WAR OR TWO.

IT RUNS THROUGH THE CAMPAIGN NOW

OH my Goodness. I can't take anymore of this soap opera!!!! This is too much stuff coming at me regarding Palin. This is better than the The Young & Restless and Bold & Beautiful combined. THIS IS TOO GOOD!!!
Yeah so back to the issues, Obama/Biden 08

Good comment ex-repub and right on! Sense of humor, ha-ha, over Corsi's book but now who's got the last laugh… go Dems, let's win this game and get on with the rebuilding and healing and more!

This is what happens after the kind of vetting done by McCain. He said he was pleased with the results, so this is what he asked for. The American public deserves better.

Oh Gee! McCain is upset over a magazine that has even less credibility than a comic book? talk about over reacting.

Didn't John Edwards deny the enquirers allegations as well?

Dude, McCain… I don't know about your campaign… but personally, I've always had the stance that whatever the National Enquirer is bullsh**. I'm not exactly sure why you fell the need to call the cover's content a "vicious lie"… I mean, we're talking about the magazine that thinks Elvis is still alive, and that Aliens land on earth for the first time in history… every other month! Now, I know you've been busy fending off legitimate criticism all week about Palin, your Vetting process, and your campaign's apparent desire to "not discuss the issues" so your trigger-finger might be a little itchy… And I understand your campaign would rather be parading around a pregnant teenager as a reason social conservatives should like your campaign, but relax a bit, eh?That, and you might want to ask someone a bit… younger… how factual this thing called the "Internet" is, and how little people pay attention to most of it's rumors when they aren't brought into the MSM with a vehement denial. Of course, you could always ask your opponent how he dealt with the ones created by your supporters; that reaction was a bit more controlled and palatable.

Go back and check on what she did to that little town in Alaska. THe town of 6,000 was solvent until she became mayor. Now they are 20,000,000 in the hole after Palin decided to build a "sports complex" and the sewage treatment plant that needed help NEVER got a dime.
It also is the "Meth" capital of Alaska!!! McCain, what were you thinking???? This woman probably DID have affairs and so did her husband. After what I've heard about her in the last two, I would believe it in a heartbeat!!!!

If they lied about her and slandered her good name……. and told "false un-truths" about her………….."then she should sue 'em"!………….This is America and we still have laws against that type of behavior………..

what about the smearing of the Obama family in the best selling book from the same losers that brought you the swift boat on John Kerry. Thats a book of lies maybe the Obama camp should sue them. Oh wait Obamas got better things to do like fix the mess you republicans made.

What's the old adage?……………………..Live by the sword………………etc.

McBush has decapitated his own campaign.

Love it!

Is anybody looking at the Republican convention? Is it a true reflection of our country and the people in it? It is as white as can be. Nothing against white folks, God bless'em, but the republican party is as non-inclusive as you can get. I'd rather vote for someone who is going to think of everybody in the nation, not just a small few. And it is as BORING AS ALL GET-OUT!!!! I mean really!!! I enjoyed hearing about what McCain's life has been about, and he is an American hero. But he proved that he is as senile as they come when he picked that broad from Alaska! How crazy is he?! Really crazy y'all!!! I mean he could have found many republican women waaaaayy more qualified than that girl. Seriously.
I'm a republican who is going to vote for Obama. I think if people think about it- it their heart of hearts- they know that if McCain keeled over tomorrow, who in their right mind would want some lady that we don't even KNOW in charge of the country??!! And God forbid as well should somebody get to Obama- would you feel bad if Joe Biden became the President? No! I wouldn't have any problem at all. John McCain, you did the republican party a disservice when you put Palin on the ticket.
You really did.

Oh well. Go O-Biden!!!!!
Obama-Biden 08!

McCain where is your sense of humor now??? And don't you dare try to blame Obama's campaign for this too. It's the republicans who have played dirty politics time and time again!!!!

When John McCain pick Sarah Palin as his VP and not the better qualify Elizabeth Dole; he looks to the nation and said: "My viagra intake is now over; phoenix is rising." This is some straight talk. lol

Republican voting Obama/Biden 08

This is complete manufactured outrage.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER? Who the heck pays attention to that?!?!

Well, besides bat-boy's mother cutting out clippings for the cave wall…

This is desperate by the McCain campaign. My vote has been with Obama from the very beginning, but I always really respected McCain. I voted for him in the primaries in 2000. But COME ON.

How the mighty have fallen.

is this the same GOP that got mad at CNN and MSNBC for not following up on the NATIOnal INQUIRE story son Sen. Edwards.

Hey McPalin! Where's your sense of humor? Huh? Say what?

Wow!!! This story is unravelling faster than a ball of yarn!!!

Lol we call this the dog eat dog effect

thats the National Enquirer for ya, tabloid journalism

go ahead and sue

they also printed stories about Clinton Obama secret affair and some other article about Obama running with thugz still snorting cocaine. OH they also ran an Obama article about Larry Sinclair involving gay prostitution and drugs.

so yea, feel free to sue

wasn't it the enquirer that broke the story on Edwards?

This election is at an all time low…

I guess this is the "Unity and Change" Obama speaks of…

The slander against Palin and her family is a travisty…

I hope Obama is proud of himself… which I'm sure he is…

Congrats Barry… at all costs eh?

How dare the McCain campaign belittle the accomplishments of Senator Barack Obama. This is just a Republican scandal to destroy the first black presidential nominee. It's racist to question Obama's experience. And what flat out bigotry to raise questions about Obama's business dealings, political affiliations and his bipartisan record. Racist! Racist racist racist. (See how this works everyone?) You are witnessing the key piece of the Palin package. Use a woman to paint the entire media as sexist in the hopes that woman will be dumb enough not to see through this obvious pandering. Rallying your party base might have worked. Grabbing PUMA's ten members probably worked. But this will not work. Eat your own mooseburgers GOP. Cause I've had ENOUGH!! Anyone but McCain '08!

I don't like what she Palin stands for, don't tell my daughters what they can and can't do with there bodies.

This is getting more interesting by the day … please bring more information !

McSame this suits you for forgetting your previous policy positions and going towards Karl Rove politics ,

how does it feel to be tasting some of your own medicine?

Sex, lies and videotape – I guess they have to even the score – John Edwards did it as his wife battles cancer, while he was running for President and continued to lie bald faced. What could even come close to that?

McCain might just have more people and newspapers to sue.
Does he have enough money? Oh yeah! Lots and lots.

The last time the Enquirer broke with an affair story… they were right.

why is the McCain campaign even addressing a tabloid story? Must they insist on dragging this election thru the mud? Vote Dignity back into office Obama/Biden 08

Take it like a man Palin!! Presidential politics isn't for the weak of heart.

Man up Schmidt!!

where's your sense of humour

We can't get to the issues until McCain removes her from the ticket.

PLEASE, JOHN, TAKE HER OFF THE TICKET!

No smoke without fire!

You just can't get better reality TV!!!

OBAMA / BIDEN '08

It's too bad that when Republicans were smearing Hillary Clinton that they didn't remember the old saying "what goes round, comes round". They can dish it out but they can't take it.

TomfromIowa, why would McCain remove her from the ticket? Conservatives, including myself, think she is fantastic. I have followed her story for several months now and think she is the best choice for the position. This woman is the real deal, not some media packaged product. I'm excited about her political future and the sensible liberty loving beliefs that come with it.

Who's the whiners now! Spend your money on nonsense, I love it!

"these days the national enquirer has more merit than MSM"

OR, the republican party for that matter.
What a joke this team is…

This is HILARIOUS!!

As a Democrat, I'm LOVIN' this Palin pick.

- Troopergate
- Corruption
- Bridge to nowhere
- Extreme rightwing views
- ZERO experience
- Doesn't know what VP does
- Messed up family
- Infidelity

All of this in a single week!!!

McCain-Palin is a TRAINWRECK. I'm making popcorn and enjoying the ride.

Its about time the law suits started the media and the Obama campaign need to be held accountable. CNN is turning into the MSM garbage dump with their biased reporting.

What affair???
This is the first I've heard of it – COMING OUT OF A REPUBLICAN'S MOUTH too !!!

Guys/girls, sit back, relax, enjoy the soap opera!!

the more hysteria you see from the left- the more you know that they are absolutly terrified of a strong republican woman! this is so much fun watching them make complete fools of themselves and destroying the dems in the bargain. the media ,such as campbell brown etc., are finally showing their true liberal stripes and losing all credibility. when this election is over and mccain and palin are in the white house, these liberal "reporters" will be lucky to find out if the president is even in washington, much less get any interviews ha!

Excuse me Republican Hypocrites, but you are still screaming that MSM ignored a tabloid article about Edwards??

However, now you state the sainted periodical may be wrong??

Read the byline, that says it all.

WE CANNOT AFFORD 4 MORE.

Didn't the Enquirer first break the John Edwards infidelity story?
Hmmmm, Inquiring minds want to know.

Vote Ron Paul 8

Palin's new son-in-law needs to go back to school and get a job or he will be forced to rely on the republicans idea of universal healthcare. The emergency room.

they beat the crap out of Obama with the rev.Wright stuff,
now its your turn McCain,take it like a man

Imagine Karl Rove’s tag team partner Steve Schmidt, who just happens t be McCain’s senior advisor is reading the National Enquirer. Doesn’t he have better things to do?

Their new game plan is to cry sexism even when there isn’t any. WATCH CAREFULLY!!!

BE CAREFUL of the Karl Rove tactics. Remember who won in 2004 (Bush) even though we all regret that now!!!

Hey, we all thought that the Enquirer was wrong about John Edwards and look what happened. Wouldn't it be real cute if it is found to be true – good judgement on McCain first big executive decision!

OMG!!! is there more we have to learn about this woman? She is maverick like you McSame both cheaters!!!!!!!!!!

Do not mess with national enquirer. If you do not believe me, ask John Edwards. They will not dare to say it about a VP candidate unless they know what they are doing.

Well John Edwards said the same thing, they were lies. I wonder about all of this, McCain did not properly vet her. Yes she was in a state that the people kept things covered, now you are on the national level everything goes. You wonder why so many people didn't want their names in the hat. Republicans and Deomocrats. This is going to be a bitter pill to swallow if it is true. THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disgusting. But what do you expect from the National Inquirer?

Aside from that, does anyone else here think the McCain campaign is ultimately doing themselves more harm than good by inflating Palin's reputation and qualifications to such absurd levels? They're making her sound like FDR, Susan B. Anthony, Mr. Smith, and the Messiah all rolled into one. And she's actually just a former Mayor of a tiny town and a first-term governor of a state with a very small population, who (like many politicians) has already had a history of ethics problems and a penchant for earmarks. If they would just say that she's an up-and-coming public servant who's being treated unfairly by the media, rather than artificially inflating her resume, they'd look less foolish and help her out more. Just a thought.

these days the national enquirer has more merit than MSM

The truth always hurts.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaahaaa
I'm sorry, the fact that the McCan't campaign is pissed about the National Enquirer is hilarious. I think their last article headlined a monkey who spoke English and claimed to be a alien.

The vetting process continues.

Obama/Biden '08

Hey…when Corsi wrote his book about Obama I thought the GOP said:
"You have to have a sense of humor" and just said oh well.

Now its suddenly wrong to put baseless words into print? Hypocracy anyone?

So where is freedom of speech now GOP? The GOP must STOP their desire to anhialate our constitutional rights.

Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan and former John McCain adviser, Time columnist, and MSNBC contributor Mike Murphy were caught on tape disparaging John McCain's selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate.

Wow…this is getting ugly. But the Repubs ( and even some Dems) have been hard on Obama too. Everyone is fair game. There's no use crying now… The Repubs can certainly dish it, but can they take it?!?

Thanks, but no thanks miss alaska!!!

As an American, I know and respect Biden's experience and dedication to public service which has been uncompromised by travel, family, salary and position. He is a great American VP personality and matched by experience. On the other hand, Palin is anything but what I hoped the Republican Party VP choice to be. There are at least TEN women in politics and public service with leadership and experience equal to, if not better, than that of Biden. What was McCain thinking? This is a big decision and demonstration of competence and thoughtfulness which McCain blundered! This IS Another Bad judgment by McCain even before he is president.
I mean that the DNC and Obama are not having to defend their judgment and choice and are not having to "push their VP choice" down our collective throats-We all see that this is a bad call and BAD JUDGMENT from McCain.
As a woman, I know how hard it is to raise two kids and be available at 100% at my capacity at work. So how does the RNC expect us to "relate" when raising five children, soon to be six, since a teen pregnancy means grand ma raises the child; and a Down's Syndrome baby 4 months old means NO WAY can she be dependable! I want my VP of USA to be alert and available at 100% say Palin is scheduled to be in Middle East when her Down's syndrome baby has life-threatening health issue requiring ICU stay, I do not want my VP to have that dilemma!
Palin makes a good story for a teacher an administrator or even Alaskan Governor, BUT NO WAY VP OF USA.

"The smearing of the Palin family must end."
What? The GOP doesn't like a taste of their own medicine?

REMOVE HER FROM THE TICKET!!
ENOUGH DISTRACTION!

Barack Obama didn't threaten to sue the tabloids when they wrote absurd stories about him and accused him of being gay. SUCK IT UP, MCCAIN. You are such a cry baby!

Dear Friends:
Palin get real give it up and do us all a favor

Dear Friends:
Lets hear it for politics diaper pins, baby bottles, we have listened to Obama whine and cry and waa waa they almost hit me! Bad Boys!
Now we have Palin and baby bottles. Four years of this!!!! Help!!!! Get the President to make a bill and get the job done! This is not political issues of military and Federal Government. Our tax dollars! Are you kidding? I hope Jay Leno and Letterman are more interesting than this.

Will McCain sue Noonan and Murphy for their off the air remarks on McCain's choice for VP?
