I've got to hand it to the republicans.
There excellent at playing to our core fears and emotions. hillary lost the nomination upsetting many women. they smartly siezed on this and found a small town mom that pepole empthise with. it does not matter what experince that she has, she will draw pepole beacuse she is on thier level. that this is so obvious and has not gotten mentioned often makes me feel that we deserve them if they are elected. becuse it looks to me like we are stupid sheep.

ANY OF US WHO TRULY SUPPORT OBAMA SHOULD BE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE DISTORTIONS MADE BY THE OPPOSTION.

Those guys want to be ambiguous with their claims. We cannot afford such a luxury.

The Democratic response or anything that we claim must be rooted in truth and reason. This is following this example of our candidate and the next president of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Barack Obama. (GOD, I love saying that)

I know the GOP has nothing but lies and fear tactics, but we must come with the truth and hope.

I'm posting here as most other comment sections were closed. Too many comments?

Anyway, I agree with JA Cook. I listened to Giuliani on my car radio while driving home and could barely believe the level of sarcasm and sheer nastiness! Just shows that the GPO has nothing really to say.

Palin certainly proved she is more than "Caribou Barbie." Of course, I don't agree with most of her statements, and many of them were patently untrue – even about her own record. For example, she pushed vigorously (via lobbyists) for earmarks both for Wasilla and the state of Alaska. She only stopped supporting the Ketchikan airport bridge AFTER it was nationally ridiculed as the "bridge to nowhere." So I guess she was for it before she was against it. Where have we hear THAT before? 4 years ago, maybe?

As a woman, I am disgusted by the constant deflection of legitimate scrutiny by the claims of "sexism." I guess then that every attack on Obama should be decried as "racism."

Obama/Biden '08

I AM A 51 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. ONE WITH ADHD AND ONE KIDNEY. I OWN MY OWN BUSINESS AND I JUGGLE HOME AND BUSINESS 24/7. THAT DOES NOT GIVE ME THE QUALIFICATION TO RUN A COUNTRY. I AM SICK OF EVERY ONE SAYING GOV. PALIN IS A MOM AND A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL. MY COMPANY HAS MORE EMPLOYEES THEN THE WHOLE STATE POPULATION OF ALASKA. THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY HER TO RUN A COUNTRY. THIS IS VERY SCARY THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING BRAINWASHED BY THIS WOMAN. HOW IS SHE GOING TO HELP OUR COUNTRY RE-GAIN ITS INDEPENDENCE? HOW WILL SHE CONTRIBUTE TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY? WHAT IS HER PLAN FOR HEALTH CARE? I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT KIND OF MOTHER SHE IS, THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD MOTHERS IN THIS WORLD. WHAT WILL SHE DO FOR OUR COUNTRY? THIS IS WHY OBAMA GETS MY VOTE BECAUSE HE IS BREAKING DOWN WHAT HE WILL DO TO CHANGE OUR COUNTRY AND RESTORE OUR INDEPENDENCE. THE MCSAME/PALIN TICKET IS A JOKE TO ME. JOHN MCCAIN BEING A POW 40 YEARS AGO DOES NOT GIVE HIM THE QUALIFICATIONS TO RUN A COUNTRY EITHER. THERE IS NEVER ANY SUBSTANCE TO ANY OF THEIR SPEECHES. I AM TIRED OF HEARING AND LISTENING TO MCCAIN AND NOW THE PALIN PERSON. I WILL BE SO GLAD WHEN OBAMA IS NAMED OUR PRESIDENT AND MCCAIN AND PALIN SLIDE BACK INTO THE WALL.

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT FOR THE NEXT 8 YEARS!!!!

Boy, is this shaping up to be another Bush Administration. We've had girls gone wild in the white house with Jenna and Barbara Bush, now we'll have a knocked up teenager in the VP's house. Great.

More Stooges for the GOP huh?

BY THE WAY WHERE THE H**L IS HILLARY. SHE SEE THIS WACK JOB GOING AFTER THE SUPPORTERS THAT SHE EARNED THROUGH CAMPAIGNING FOR OVER A YEAR. THAT SHE WENT INTO DEBT FOR WITH HER OWN MONEY. NOW SHE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
****************************

Answer: She is wisely sitting back and letting the republicans self-destruct.

Will some one call up Senator Obama and ask him not to do the O'Reilly Factor interview. I suspect he is going to be set up for Fox News.

Sarah Palin would quite possibly be the worst VP ever. She believes in censorship if the book in question offends her religion, she believe the Iraq War is a mission from God, she believes drilling is the solution to our problems, she likes chasing animals from a helicopter until they collapse before killing them, she misuses her power for personal reasons, and she is just another extreme rightist.

Those saying Obama has done nothing are lying, he has worked with A REPUBLICAN to stop nuclear weapons from entering the hands of terrorists, he was on the Illinois State Senate for 7 years, he has voted for and sponsored several bills, Republicans are just trying to delude you. Furthermore, the greatest Republican President in history, Abraham Lincoln, was as inexperienced as Obama with no notable accomplishments other than opposing the Mexican War.

Don't vote for lies. Don't vote for hypocrisy. Don't vote for religious extremism. Don't vote for more wars. Don't vote Republican!

John is accustomed to being around weak women, and Palin is no different. His wife is a trophy, with money, and his running mate is a cheerleader with a knocked up daughter. Shows you what John thinks about women.

All he had to do was dress Lieberman in a skirt, and he would have had his first choice.

It won't work.

I was so displeased with the Sara speech that I just turn the TV off. For someone who doesn't have enough expereince herself, she has a lot nerve to put Obama down. Obama cares about people and the work that he did that may not have earn him a lot money DOES COUNT. I am ashmed of the Republican party.

I have a child with Down Syndrome and can tell you I am NOT impressed by Palin. Every year I fight with the school district for basic services because a GOP run governement does not deliever on federal funding PROMISED to all schools in the IDEA ACT.

Palin did nothing more than looked into the camera and LIED last night while trying to be a comedian. The worst of it? Putting her family and special needs child on display to pander to the world.

This woman is disgusting and is the full embodiment of the GOP! The chanting and laughter last night shows how truly the GOP is out of touch with the direction of our country. PLEASE, vote with your heads, vote for your children, vote for OBAMA!!!!

I wish a hurricane would shut this convention down and blow these people into space. They are the most evil, lying, distorting, sarcastic, hypocritical, entitled scums who should never get tv air time. You watch, payback is a *itch.

Guliani is so vile, his own children can't stand him, so much for family values!

Sarah Palin's daughter is having sex and getting pregnant at 17, Family values! How can she morally lead America with so much failure in her family life? I don't care what anyone says, a pregnant 17 year old is a failure of family values. Republicans need to wake up and own their failures NOW!

Is this the last day of the Republican Ku Klux Klan rally (oops I mean Republican National Convention)? Gee I hope so. This divisiveness is not good for America.

Let's see, Palin and McCain whine about the "sexist" media, but distribute buttons to their male delegates calling Palin the "Hot Chick". And did anybody else see the clip of McCain staring at Palin's chest while she was speaking last Thursday in Ohio? I think Leno even ran it. Sexism, indeed!

Now this lineup of has-beens (duct tape and plastic wrap, anyone?) will be on to sling more mud, repeat more lies and spin, spin, spin.

Anything to distract attention from the fact the Republicans have NO PLAN, NO IDEAS and NO CLUE.

Don't forget your goat leggings.

Mrs. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."

i can't watch another minute of this nashing of teeth and back-stabbing obama for all the wrong reasons. i will never submit myself again to such nastyness from this superior thinking party of old white fools that think they are the only ones intitled to our country.
tonight will be a re-run of POW..POW..POW.. how much can anyone stand to have to hear this broken record??
i will watch bill oriley tonight interview our next president of the united states of america.

DNC does not need Hillary. One man, one woman, can touch us, but We, the People of the United States, need to save ourselves, by voting for Obama.

We, the People of the United States, need to figure out what is really important for us.

Do we want to CLING to a typewriter from McCain and Palin? Or do we want to join force with Obama and use iPod, laptop and the Internet. Obama is backed by the Clintons who gave us the Internet Age.

It is not Hillary. It is not Obama. It is US. A leader is needed to unite us, but it is US, that will need to vote.

We empowered Bush for eight years. We, the People of the Unted STates, need to empower the next leader to move America forward?

We have two choices: The typewriter generation or the iPod generation.

It's not that hard.

The Republicans have gotten me sick to my stomach.....McCain's answer to all issues is......P.O.W.......P.O.W........and Sarah McPalin is more of the same.....all she threw out was insults and ridicule of Obama......she'll take women issues back 50 years......she's in no place to make comments on Obama......she's the Governor of bloody Alaska....population......677,000......hope she gets whats coming to her and really if I hear one word of sexism that will only show how the whole campaign is hypercritical......McCain...you made it back from Vietnam....and you've been living the high life ever since.........the people who made the ultimate sacrifice are those who never made it back...to their families and loved ones.....and those who came back handicapped we're treated terribly......some of whom committed suicide because they got no support.......all this from your Republican party.......shame on you McCain......my 15 year-old son is more qualified than you are for President........"ENOUGH McSHAME"......you and that excuse the expression 'TRAMP" are clearly the past.....I'm for the future and I'll be proudly voting for the future.....NO WAY....NO HOW....NO MORE FAILED POLICIES....AND NO MORE ROVE CRAP.......my vote is for real change....real equality......real vision....real honesty...real women's rights......and for real economic, educational, healthcare and foreign policies.......MY VOTE IS FOR OBAMA......WHAT WILL I BE DOING TONIGHT?...WATCHING THE FOOTBALL GAME!!

FLASH NEWS for Sarah Palin:

Politics run by (fake) COWBOYS, CHICKEN HAWKS or PITTBULLS (with or without lipstick) have proven to be unmitigated disasters.

mS. palin maybe a fantastic Hockey mom (whatever that means), but as a politician, she is SLIGHTLY behind the times.

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, Sarah!!

It has also been reported that Republicans requested the venue of their convention to have less number of seats, u know why, majority of their delegates will sit on their own Wheel Chairs with their oxygen tanks. hahahahah another Joke of The Day.

What happens if she becomes President and has to decide whether we should go to war or not...is she going to be as irrational as she sounded last night. I am really really scared..I can't imagine how irresponsible the Republicans are. They only answer to CEO's of Corporation..did you see all the speakers last night...

Luis – good to see your ignorant self jumping from story to story demonstrating how stupid you really are.

I would rather hear McCain's POW story a hundred time then hear Obama say the word change even once without any substance as usual. Way to go, Sarah, and good luck McCain on your speech tonight. I am sure you will hit a home run as well!

go to huffingtonpost.com

OH BOY! Just can't wait for another night of the GOP's '08 campaign of "fear, smear, mock and lies". Just make a good christian like me get all wet.
Ready for another 4 years of Bush/Chaney America? I know I am!
$4.00 gallon gas, two wars, 4,100+ dead Americans, lower take home pay, union busting, public service mocking, Social Security going bust, no god but my god – Gotta love it!

Sarah Palin ran the town of Wasilla into debt so she is an excellent match for the Republican Party who are responsbile for the biggest defecit in this world's history.

It's no longer just the Twin Cities – It's the Tri – Cities

OF BUSH – MCCAIN – PALIN THAT PROMISE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY INTO BANKRUPTCY AND INTO MORE WARS AND AN THE RETURN OF THE HATED DRAFT.

I wonder if Cindy is getting nervous about all the attention John is giving to Palin. John is obviously a cheater, we don't need another Clinton scandal in the Whitehouse.

I refuse to watch any of it tonight. I was truly disgusted by Guiliani and not impressed by Palin's speech.

People people people, who really was enthused by that speech, honestly? What happened to being "presidential" and our elected officials caring a sign of eloquence and sophistication, we've gotten to used to lil George and his antics so much I think they've lowered our expectations. I don't want someone I can relate to, I want someone who can relate to me! Palin is for change, well what kind? Creationism in our schools? Scary!!! Can we get real for a second who wants a president who's one foot in the grave and a VP who's one foot in the Mini-van?

Hillary Clinton vs Sarah Palin in 2012!

ALL OF THEM WILL SAY MORE OF THESAME WE HAVE BEEN HEARING & COPING WITH FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

AMERICAN PEOPLE CANNOT GO THROUGH THIS ANYMORE...!!

NOT EVEN FOR ONE YEAR!.....NOT FOR ONE MONTH!!... NOT FOR ONE DAY!!!...AFTER BUSH LEAVES IN JANUARY.. WE WILL RECLAIM AMERICA AND MOVE FORWARD......AND NOT BACKWARD.

BY THE WAY WHERE THE H**L IS HILLARY. SHE SEE THIS WACK JOB GOING AFTER THE SUPPORTERS THAT SHE EARNED THROUGH CAMPAIGNING FOR OVER A YEAR. THAT SHE WENT INTO DEBT FOR WITH HER OWN MONEY. NOW SHE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. WHATS THE MATTER, DONT TELL ME THE CAT HAS GOT HER TOUNGE ALL OF A SUDDEN. IF SHE IS WILLING TO LET THIS SMALL TIME PHONEY COME IN AND JUST STEAL HER SUPPORTERS THEM IM GLAD SHE WASNT THE NOMINEE. SHE DID A WHOLE LOT OF TALKING BUT NOW SHE HAS NOTHING TO SAY. I REALLY THOUGHT THAT AFTER THE CONVENTION THEY WOULD COME OUT FULL FORCE FOR OUR NOMINEE BARRAK BUT THEY TURNED OUT TO BE A BUNCH OF LIARS. THEY SHOULD BE BOOTED OUT OF THE PARTY. AND TO ANY HILLARY SUPPORTER WHO IS WILLING TO VOTE FOR THIS BEAUTY QUEEN WHEN SHE HASNT CAMPAIGNED ON SINGLE DAY TO EARN YOUR VOTE US DEMS WILL SEE YOU IN NOVEMBER WITH YOUR TAILS TUCKED BETWEEN YOUR LEGS.

The Gop have outdone themselves with great policy and platforms for the future. Americans can be proud of what we've accomplished the past 8 years of our rule and look forward to more for the next 4.

Remember the song faster horses, younger women and more money as that's our motto. Go John/Sara Go

I'll say it bluntly: Joe BIden will eat her alive, and after he spits her back out, she'll be wondering where the train that hit her went.

NoWay, NoHow, NoBama!!

What a disgrace to all of us women!!

"RAY MAYER" – I TOTALLY agree with you. Why is he doing this? Fox News HATES him. I think they are trying to catch OBAMA with his "Mic On". BE CAREFUL BARACK!

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending ... and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."

Mrs McCain had a $300,000 outfit on tuesday night and I wonder how much she is going to add on it tonight. It is ironic that they accuse the Obama's as 'elitist'.
What a shame!

All they are talking about now is her executive decisions, but they will not say what the executive decisions were and John McCain has only made one executive decision that we know of and that was cheating on his wife with Cindy and deciding to leave her when she was in a pickle after all she did for him. What a lame!!! The dems ticket looks way better in character compared to our ticket. I can not take it anymore I'm voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden and I know they will do what it takes to get America back to the place where she belongs.

Sarah Palin recited a good speach that was written for her and was coached by a professional on how to present the speach. It was rehearsed for almost a week. Now she will have to stand on her own two feet and answer questions she has never been confronted with.

I look forward to comparing Cindy McCain to Michelle Obama. I look forward to Joe Biden's debate with Sarah Palin.

It looks like another evening of re-runs of "law and order"

people who say Sarah is tough, she reformed bla blah blah.
She put the country first when she was Alaska to be an independent nation.She absoutely looks childish. What are your plans.
Her record is horrible. Empty suit in a dress.

After last evening's atrocious spectacle – SPARE US!

Isn't it weird that Ron Paul's convention is just as big as the entire GOP's?

So the theme of this whole convention is "Service" yet last night we see Rudy and Palin mock and laugh because Obama was a community organizer 20 years ago. I guess the only service in their eyes is fighing in a war. That is a very very bad thing to say and bad way to think. Community organizer may not have a flashy title but these are people who actually roll up their sleeves to help get things done for disadgvantaged people in struggling communites. Dr. King was a community organizer. While Rudy was holding press conferences and getting phot ops during 9/11 it was community organizers who were helping around the clock. I guess these people are funny too? That is a very eliest, out of touch way t think in that someone who graduated from Harvard Law spent his first few years serving the pulbic for little to no pay inseatd of taking a hotshot job on Wall Street.

Let's let Palin and Michelle Debate. I will put my retirement on Michelle to win that one. Michelle has more executive experience than she does.

I just learned something about McCain.

If you disagree with him do not try to communicate it to him. His website does not accept your email. You receive an "ERROR" message and a suggestion to "try again later" and to make certain to enter www. before the web address all with a picture of John McCain, Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin. Like you are on the wrong screen right!

What can McCain say tonight to make me feel better about him. While, how about why he picked someone for VP who is well qualified to deal with a herd of moose ramaging down Pennsylvania Blvd at 3:00AM and little else?

So can any Obamamites name one thing that Obama and little joe biden will be changing??? Didn't think so.

Wow.

Why couldn't I have guessed that Reid wouldn't care for the speech???

Ya'll really blew the top off that story.

Talk about obvious...

Whatever they say tonight, it won't be issue oriented. The most telling line of the convention so far was from the other night; "This election is not about issues"......end quote. We heard nothing but sarcastic remarks and bad jokes from the VP nominee and I don't expect we will hear much more than that from McCain tonight. Sad......

It is true:
The dame has no foreign policy experience. Alaska’s population is less than 500,000 people. This lady never see what life is like in the inner cities of America, she never even been to a Ghetto to see how some folks live. She does not understand what America is up against. God forbid the old man croak, then what?

Yay, more Republican stooges speaking tonight. Just about the entire party is making me feel sick to my stomach lately, they're all lying whining hypocrites it seems. You beg for media attention, get it, and whine about it. You attack Hillary and she doesn't call you sexist, yet whenever there is criticism of Palin's abuse of power, religious fanaticism, and inexperience the Repugs call sexist.

Down with Republican lies and hypocrisy! Obama/Biden 08!

Who cares.....this thing is over

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

Since Palin didn't address any national or global issues in her speech, I look forward to her answering those questions shen she is interviewed by the press.

No point in keeping her hidden, right? She's tough and ready to go, right?

WOW ! Lots of sour grapes out there. They didn't know that Sarah was this tenacious. Just wait until she gets going "on the JOB." No training needed here. She's the perfect help-mate for John. Don't sell her short on her knowledge either. I'll bet we are in for a great four years. This just goes to show you that we Americans have some pretty amazing WOMEN. The early settlers knew this. How do you think the West was won, the South able to withstand the War, the North& East were able to industrialize and prosper? THE WOMEN. We are the Backbone of this country. We are there WITH the Men not behind them BUT BESIDE and infront of them! Women can lead the way too. We have the intelligence, strength, and intestinal fortitude to do what ever is necessary to accomplish the tasks and not neglect our responsibilities while doing so. In other words, we can multi-task. It's time Americans got back to their ROOTS and had sincere honest representation in government. Not self-serving talking heads. GO JOHN/SARAH '08
THINK MY FELLOW AMERICANS, WE NEED CHANGE BUT CHANGE WE CAN LIVE WITH, NOT DIE WITH. WE NEED EXPERIENCED PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH ALL THAT'S NECESSARY IN GOVERNMENT THE YEARS AHEAD. IT'S NOT ONLY OUR FUTURE, BUT THAT OF OUR CHILDREN. THINK then GO VOTE

McCain runs the risk of being over shadowed by Palin. She's bringing the excitement, not him. Tonight he will be over shadowed by the start of the NFL season (what time does the Skins-Giants game start?)

It has been reported sales of adults diapers in the Twin cities has jumped, u know why, Old grumpies Republicans are in town hahahah Joke of the Day.

Palin spoke about community organizers. There are people who are volunteers for your benefit and you go out and say that they are nothing. That is a right out insult. But you want their vote. Good grief woman where are your values. .

The dems are so jealous they can't stand themselves.
Sara... the total woman. And thank heavens NOT a lawyer.
McCain/Palin 08

Lets see..................The NFL kicks off their season opener tonight. Giants vs Redskins I believe. Now which will be watched more, the football game or the gop convention? I bet football.

I think Senator Obama is making a big mistake to appear on the O'reilly Factor or any Fox News shows.

After hearing all the calls for "Change" last night, I realized that I misread all the history books. According to the speeches, it is the Democrats who have been in the White House since 2001 and who had control of Congress from 1994 until just 20 months ago. Sorry, I didn't realize that we needed to kick them out of office. Well, shame on them for doing such a lousy job running the country all of these years where we need "Change" from their policies.

Also, I guess it goes with the comments that community service is wrong. I thought the "faith based" programs of the Bush administration were all about public service.

I can hardly wait to hear one more time about McCain's tour as a POW and how it makes him more patriotic than all the Democrats who served in the military as well - Country First after all. And since the Dems have really been running things, the people who made this economy and political situation what it is today weren't putting "Country First." I just didn't realize it was the Democrats.

Man, how did we get the current history of this country so wrong?

I understand that a speech writer wrote Palin's speech for her.. True ??

FLASH NEWS for Sarah Palin:

Politics run by (fake) cowboys, chicken hawks or pitbulls (with or without lipstick) have proven to be an unmitigated disaster.

She maybe a fantastic Hockey mom (whatever that means), but as a politician, she is SLIGHTLY behind the times.

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, Sarah!!.

All you who continue to attack obama and raising taxes look at the facts...I ahve and the middle calss will get about $1500 in income.
jobs leaving the US, look at the unemployment numbers that came out today, and tell me how the policies of lower taxes have helped the economy and create jobs? maybe jobs in india and china but not here.
So far McCain has not said what he will do, or what plans he has, and all he and inexperienced VP candidate have dome is be negative but not offer any concrete reasons to vote for them.
As for her expereince...come on.....I know of a bunch of small towm mayors, who have more time being a mayor than her...so why not pick them...oh yea she was a gov for 2 years......come on.

How can anyone that is voting Republican say that the Democrates are dictating what people can do or not do?? I wish people would use their grey matter! I mean come on! Haven't you had enough of being told what to do by Dictator Cheney and his Public Puppet BUSH!

lindsay will sound the shrillest tonite.

John McCain campaign may have shot themselves in the foot by tapping Sarah Palin as VP.They should have look at the possibilities of Kay Bailey Hutchinson or Olympia Snow, both very intelligent and knowledge of how Washington DC works would have been less of head ach. It appears Sarah is loaded with excess baggage.

A high school friend of mine had an old Maverick. It had lots of miles and was pretty run down. It didn’t always start in the winter, and it overheated pretty easily if you drove it to far. On the highway it generally pulled to the right, but it could change direction in an instant – almost so fast you couldn’t remember the original direction.

Of course it used a ton of gas, burnt oil and created clouds of smoke. But every time my buddy got pulled over, he’d tell the cops the car had been towed and spent a long time in the pound. For some reason, that excuse seemed to work all the time…

Have you ever seen so many wrinkles or as much grey and silver hair in one place?
The only things missing are a couple of coffins...

Whipped cream on a B.S. sundae!

Don't buy it, America! Ohio! Virginia! Michigan! North Carolina! Florida! Pennsylvania! Reject the fearful, divisive politics of the past 8 years that we saw on display last night! We just can't afford another 4 years of neglectful republican rule. And that's exactly what we'll get under McCain/Palin!

Be courageous! Stand for change like millions of other hard working, blue collar Americans!

Obama/Biden '08!!!

The republicans are very excited to have a new younger face on the scene and let them enjoy this time. Unfortunately, Palin has not been fully "vetted". What until some more details come out about her current investigations and her "strong arm" policies. She also made a "huge" mistake last night by "disrespecting" community organizers !!

Why didn't we have enough with last nights THREE STOOGES: ROMNEY, HUCKABEE AND GUILIANI with the special guest appearance of DARLA from the Little Rascels.

Helen/NC

Palin is an empty dress

Who are the brave men and women of currently deployed US Armed Services supporting for President by a 6:1 margin in donations? BARACK OBAMA, not JM.

Who are US Veterans of Foreign Wars supporting for Presdient by 5:1 margin in donations? Barack Obama, not John McCain

This Felt Like A white American Convention.

I Hate To Feel This Way, But Something Was Missing!

Just A Bunch Of Mean White Folk To Me, Thinking There The True Americans.

Sarah Palin's Speech, Nice Delivery But Had Many of False Obama
Statements.

Sarah Palin's neighbor Need To Fact Check Her Obama Red Meat

Statements . If You Want To know The Truth It's Out There!

Her Speech Was Not Refreshing At All. Empty

Same Old GOP Type Attacks, That's What They Like. Nothing Different

I Feel The Gop And The Media Are Caught Up In The Moment Right

Now. The Family, The Mom, The Baby, The Attacks.

She's No Super Women Yet, It's Only Day Three.

Sen. Obama Been Taking The Kitchen Sink For 18 Long Months And Counting.

When The Dust Settles After This Week Will See What Palin Is Really Made Of!

Obama 08

Excellent. Three more white people. I hope they talk about how much they care about the American people. As long as you're white, straight, Christian, wealthy, etc.

According to Vanity Fair, which provides a detailed breakdown, Cindy McCain's outfit Monday cost $300,000.

We know where the Republicans stand on the environment – they favor toxic spew.

Cindy McCain, the vacuous Stepford wife that couldn't be troubled to add any actual empathy or emotion to her telepromted plea to help the people being hit by Hurricane Gustav? hahahaha... good stuff

djeeees, cindy! could'nt you advise your 'more of the same husband, to ATLEAST LEAVE SARAH PITBULL FINISH BREASTFEEDING HER INFANT?! ofcourse when a mom is too busy making CAREER, she has noooo time for the kids! that's when they start doing the 'HANKY PANKY!' now there's a 'FORCED MARRIAGE' on the way, to what avail?

he already said HE DOES NOT WANT CHILDREN!
LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER PALIN'S. THE SAME WAY SHE COULD'NT CHOOSE TO GET PREGNANT OR STAY PREGNANT, THE SAME WAY SHE CAN'T CHOOSE TO STAY SINGLE.
SWEEET!

The Obama haters are communicating with Greta of Fox News via back channels and e-mails to silent positive comments about Senator Obama on Gretawire Blog.
They flood Greta’s inbox with e-mails asking her to block IP addresses of all who post any favorable comments about Senator.

Way to go Greta we are on to your scam. Do you consider your actions to silent Senator Obama’s supporters Fair & Balance?

Cindy McCain can tell us again about how close Alaska is to Russia to support Palin's international experience. And how the height of Mount McKinley gives her the most experience with space exploration.

There is nothing that will unite the Democratic ticket faster than a GOP ticket full of anger, hate, and no substance while the country is in economic recession and at war. What a doofus strategy GOP!

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO LINDSEY GRAHAM? CAN'T YOU HIRE SOMEONE TO SCRAPE THEIR FINGERNAILS ACROSS A BLACKBOARD INSTEAD?
ROMNEY WAS RUDE AND ARROGANT. TOO PROUD OF BEING PART OF THE ELITE RICH.
HUCKABEE WAS UNCHRISTIANLIKE. MAY NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PULPIT FOR REDEMPTION.
RUDY RUDE, SARCASTIC, AND ACTING LIKE HE WAS AUDITIONING FOR COMEDY CLUB-AND FLUNKED. BUT -GIVE HIM CREDIT-HE DID NOT MENTION 911.
COULD WE GET GIGETTE TO DELIVER THE GEEZER'S SPEECH?

I watched the convention last night and all I say in the entire arena was WHITE PEOPLE. Where is the diversity? We live in a diverse country yet all the GOP has to represent it are WHITE PEOPLE. They need to change there GOP to WOP, White Old Party.

Palins speech was terrible.. all attacks no substance. And to attack anyone for their work with charity is just low as you can get. Go back to Alaska

Palin Power!!!!!!

Palin will be the first women VP of the USA

Palin will ultimately be the 1st President of the USA in 2012 or 2016

Can't wait for tonight's best of the right wing to strut their stuff. God and guns, baby, God and guns.

I think that Governor Palin is a brilliant pick for McCain's VP. All attacks to her will directly ricochet to Obama. If she is too inexperienced to be VP, why can Obama be president? Remember that Obama has less governing experience than her and is running for president, not VP. This is a brilliant strategy. The attack on her family and capability will only reveal how arrogant, hypocritical, and sexual discriminating her opponents are.

These blogs are telling. Sarah has hit them where they live. She was attacked relentlessly on her qualifications. She fights back and she is shrill? Suddenly, Hillary is the best qualified woman in America. Suddenly, we Hillary supporters are so smart and well informed? I am amazed at the 'fear of defeat' I detect in the comments. Sarah was as aggressive as any VP has ever been. Obama only compares McCain to another Bush term. When is he going to explain how taxing business is going to help? Companies have fled this country due to taxes. I want to hear how his estate tax will effect me? Increased payroll taxes, how will they effect me? Increased Social Security taxes, how will they effect me? How will all of his give aways be paid for? Experience has taught me that anytime the government gives me something, they end up taking more then they give back.

Thank goodness this is the last night of their convention. Running out of old movies to watch instead.

From what I've seen on CNN website and reading the bloggers comments, their is no comparison to the DNC Convention. It would be nice to watch the DNC Convention all over again. Any chance for a replay CNN?

I know people are going to make the right decision after watching the RNC in action. Positive – DNC always overpowers the negative-RNC.

We don't need negativity in power right now. A lot of people are struggling to keep positive considering what they are facing with in the economy. Obama and Biden are going to be ready to rollup their sleeves and work hard and in the best interest for the American people.

I guess it's going to be another Family Guy night...LOL. I'm glad the republicans are finally feeling the hope wave. Too bad only people that were going to vote for him anyways are the only ones feeling it. Enthusiasm from people who were going to vote for you anyways doesn't win elections if you turn off everybody else...

Obama/Biden 08-because Americans need solutions not runner-ups for Last Comic Standing!

Which Mrs McCain?

Oh, the new one.

Palin casts herself as a pit bull... I thought a pit bull was an angry vicious dog that you don't leave alone around children and don't let out without a muzzle. Maybe she meant that she can be trained to blindly attack without thought or reason or regard to her target?

This will be a joke. I guess Mccain will have a couple of hundred more people at the convention tonite. He only had 20 thousands last nite and 6 thousands the nite before!! They were so ignorant, hateful and cynical, I will not be giving them ratings!!

Let me tell Sarah Palin about COMMINITY ORGANIZERS. They are the people who have "responsibilites" to the citizens who are suffering the most to gain basic rights, job training to improve thier lives and their families. This is done FROM THE GROUND UP...not from the top down.

If it was not for COMMUNITY ORGINIZER SUSAN B. ANTHONY, palin could not be where she is today.

If it was not for COMMUNITY ORGANIZER MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., millions of Americans would not have to rights guarnteed by the costituion to be treated fairly and equally, regardless of age, sex, race or religion.

If it was not for COMMUNITY ORGANIZER BARAK OBAMA, thousands of citzens from the South Side of Chicago would have DIED from asbestos contamination in thier apartments, would have no job training and no hope for their futures after the steel plants closed and families and communities devastated.

I applaud the many people who unselfishly work to improve the lives of thers and most of the time without recognition. I am one of those people.

Sarah Palin, the gop puppet, has shown her arrogance and vulgar disrespcet for the spirit of community involvement in American History.

Graham will be offering cheese from us "whiners".

Tom Ridge? Isn"t he the former governor who got put in charge of Homeland Security after a plane crashed into his state without leaving any physical evidence?
He makes chocolate bars now.

The trophy wife....

Snoozeapalooza continues...

I won't be watching any more of this Republican nonsense, they have become a very mean and nasty party of only white ultra conservative people. We are a very diverse nation, I only saw one token african-american and no latinos or people different from them, what gives with this party, what are they afraid of?
As for Cindy, she may be a very nice lady but has nothing of importance to convey to me.

I wonder how Gov. Ridge feels about Sen. McCain not having the back bone to stand up to his party and put someone he actually wanted on the ticket instead of someone he was cornered into putting on the ticket

There was absolutely no substance in any of these speeches. At least Palin was entertaining as she basically became the buffoon of conservatives. She seemed to belong more in a WWE arena than a political one. However, she was at least entertaining unlike Gulianni who was just vile and repugnant. I seriously hope he never steps foot into NYC, because we will most likely spit on his face. He's been using our wounded memories for his political gains by blaming just about everyone else for the chaos when in fact he was in charge of the city when we were attacked.

No one can deny the atmosphere in this convention is made up of a combination of negativity, secrecy, desperation and a sense of defeat. They seem to think that their message of change will transcend beyond the Excel Energy Arena, but if you compare the hatred being spewed on the podium to the scare tactics used 4 years ago you will not be able to deny that this people won't bring change because their mentality hasn't changed. It's the same rhetoric all over again.

The American people are in a different place today than 4 years ago. They want to be inspired by the our possibilities and not scared by out limitations. BTW, the only reason some are comparing Obama's experience to Palin's is because they're basically the ones on the ticket who are supposed to be new comers outside from Washington.

Also, do you people realise the chances John McCain has of becoming seriously ill or diseased within the next few years? The poor man has been diagnosed with cancer more than 3 times. There's a great possibility that this woman could take the main slot, and anyone willing to take that chance is either insane or simply senile like McCain. The fact that she stated that our soldiers were sent by God to Iraq really reveals how closed to Bush's mentality she is. How can any real christian bring God's name into a War discussion? Really, how can you justify the killing of innocent human life with God... The republican party is self-deteriorating and it is about time.

These guys are the worst America has seen in a long time (read your history)... The Republican party is a "joke." Merely something for entertainment... Leave the thinking and problem solving to the Democratic Party... The educated people...

OBAMA/BIDEN 08....

Sarah Painlin – oops – I mean, Pailin is a disgrace to the idea that political parties offer up their best candidates for office. I thought Dick Chaney was a poor choice, until I saw her. I'm a former award-winning political reporter and what I saw and heard was a woman on a fast track, trying to be all things to all people; gun-toting,anti free-choice,but lipstick beauty queen & Mommy. C;mon. I was a 5 a.m. hockey Mom,, but I know the difference between a charade (act out a politician) and a tested, experienced leader. City Council and Governor do not a USA/world leader make. I wish Hillary could debate her. That would be the end to her credibility and credentials. I hope the truth about her style of governing (troopergate) surfaces – and soon....

Do they allow anyone but white people into the republican convention?

Keep up the pressure Ridge, Graham and Mrs. McCain the Democrats are squealing like the little bitty pigs they are. Anyone who won't fight for the freedom of American and people under tyranny need to leave this country. No morals, no religious beliefs and ones who want to give the terrorist all the breaks are not true Americans.Besides most of them don't even call themselves plain old Americans they have to be something else. We don't need this.

I am disgusted by the number of hostile, thoughtless comments on the Political Ticker as a whole.

If you don't have anything intelligent to say, shut the hell up.

Ridge – failed first Homeland Security head.
Graham – called us all bunch of whiners.
Cindy – trophy wife.

All I can say is, thank G-d for the Democratic Party!

Obama-Biden!

Good I like Ridge and want to hear what he has to say.

Well having the Repub. convention on almost every fricken station is good for something. It guarantees that I'll be getting some extra sleep tonight!

Obama/Biden '08

Sarah Plain not even near to Hillary but she shake up the Democratic party

DNC badly need Hillary now

If Cindy has a significant role, why are families off-limits? Same for Palin's family - it's all good and well to say keep them out of it - if you yourself throw them into it, then in they are.

That speech was a disgrace. And wolf, for you to say she hit it out of the park was insulting. First of all she did nothing, her speech was written by Bush's speech writers. Second, she offered no answers or solutions only attacks. Wolf, you are so typical, scared of the right winged religious group. How lame.

I guess beauty contest winners don't really understand what community organizers do. Do you suppose she knows what Habitat for Humanity is?

Johnny got a pitbull with lipstick, but with a questionable past. She is tough, she can read from a teleprompter, etc. – but Americans need more than sarcasm and snide remarks.

Not a single speaker last night had a solution to help America – just the same old tear the other guy apart. McCain speaks tonight and we know what his plans are – he voted with Bush over 90% of the time.

I have donated to Obama and will do so again today.

After three days of attack nonsense, will they actually address real issues Americans face. If your Republican, I'll spell it out for you, It's the E-C-O-N-O-M-Y stupid, not fear and smear!

I'll be watching a show named after McCain, Bush, Cheney, and Palin, it's called The Biggest Loser!

I won't be watching, cleaning toilets would be a more productive use of my time.

Lindsey Graham? He's such a sweet little rascal.

Remember kids: McCain/Palin = McPain

Spread the word

Republicans are out there to divide this country I am done watching the RNC convention after last night. It was sad the right wing at the convention were cheering at the divisive speech given by Palin. I pray for God to save America from this evil people.

Ah another schedeuled shark fest.
Can't wait till it's all over, but I sure will be glad to see Obama in the White HOuse and the Barracuda back in Alaska and McCain hopefully retired.

That was a nice PTA meeting they had last night. Will a real political convention resume tonight?

If I'm not mistaken, repeats of The Jeffersons are on at that time. Sorry...

Thanks for the update. I'll definitely finds something else to do with my time....

"let me explain to them what the job involves,” Palin said. “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.” -Palin...

Stiiiiillllll waiting!.... when are you going to tell me what the job involves?

-V

There is no point in watching, after the disgusting performances so far, more of the same.
McCains campaigne = lie, smear, and complain

Maybe all of you Dems can go wash your hair. Don't remember this being the Dems convention its the Reps convention. So if your not a Rep or an Indy why would you watch it? I know because you're scare now. LOL

McCain/Palin '08

No more taxes and no more government telling us what we can and can't do.

More attacks and no issues. That's typical coming from republicans.

I don't need to see that line up. I already know what they will same. Ridge will jab at Obama on national security and experience and praise McCain. Lindsey Graham will go on an all out attack on Obama on national security and experience, praise McCain, and then attack Obama so more. Cindy McCain will talk about her husband and their family (making sure to ingore McCain's previous marriage and their affair).

Man....we progressives love the speeches. The RNC has a new superstar. This is the lady that is the future of the RNC.

I know they are so proud of how she can destroy Obama and anything he stands for. Too bad its personal attacks and not attacking the policy.

Honestly, I like woman that are intelligent about their positions and rhetoric. Do I like Pahlin – Uh....not so much

After Sarah's Song last night......we are going to have the convention capped off with the "Chorus line."

I'm suprise that Obama didn't have Putin or Amadinejad as keynote speakers at his convention? I'm sure those two are pulling for an Obama bin Biden win.

Wow... last night is was "Bring out the Republican Clowns"...

Now tonight it's all about the "Peanut Gallery" at it's best.

Thanks, but NO thanks. I'm going to tune in on FOX NEWS to hear Sen. Barrack Obama speak instead. He at least talks like he's got some common sense and speaks to voters all over this country on THE ISSUES.

After the constant play-by-play of the same OLD and TIRED attacks from EVERYONE at the RNC, my stomach can't take any more.

ENOUGH already.

I totally agree!! I can't wait as this unvails itself. The Media held Obama's feet to the fire. I surly hope Palin is exposed as well. I'm tired of this female, racist stuff. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, that should be man, woman, or child. The whole point of media is to inform the public honestly, disregarding any bias. CNN has always fully followed that tradition-I hope this female stuff does not intimidate the honesty and excellence of realistic reporting.

More of the same nasty attacks is my guess.

My real point of contention is her attack on community organizers. These are the people that have fought for our cival rights and the women's vote. These are people who like our soldiars have died for human rights and deserve our respect.

More Smear and Fear
that is all they've got

I see Senator McCain has his peeps speaking, literally. Even his wife is speaking. I swear, watching this is like watching Family Guy...a clip just happens! LOL!!

Typo....

have one thing to say, the GOP convention showed itself as an exclusive, separatist organization. There was not one thing reflective of the diverse cultures in this country. It was like America walking backwards...

I am a single mother raising 2 children with no health insurance.
Sarah Palin was not talking to me last night.
The Republicans in their image and speeches shut out millions of us who do not look or sound like them. They do not represent me.

They should go back to choosing the president and vice president like they did in the 1960's...obama would be sitting in the outhouse cause no one with sense who knows what he is would have taken him... they had intelligent and integrity back then.

I lost a lot of respect for Mrs. McCain when, on the day after Mrs. Obama made her "really proud" comment, which was a perfectly reasonable statement, Cyndi felt empowered to wade into that discussion by her sarcastic introduction of John.

She is a woman that hasn't worked for anything in her life. Daddy made her rich through inheritence. She is one one those pampered sorority girls that is a phony and she hurts the ticket with most common folks.

Yawnnnnnnnnn! Who Cares his speech will be just as lame as he is, Boring and tired.

Oh good graham can tell us that we are all a bunch of whiners again and that the economy is strong....

Lets see how the OLD BOYS NETWORK leverage the self proclimed pitbull with lipstick. Ladies, lets not let the boyz take us so cheaply! Enough of this Mad Mad Mad World. WE CAN NOT AFFORD IT!

I think this should be re-posted until Election Day:
Top Ten Things Barrack Obama can ask Sarah Palin when he meets her the
first time.
10- How do you load a gun?
9 – Is hunting scary?
8 – How do you get the bait on that hook thingy?
7 – What's it like having a spouse that isn't angry all the time.
6 – You were Mayor, then Governor, what's a budget?
5 – I've never delegated. Do you have a canned speech for that?
4 – What does "meeting a payroll" mean?
3 – Why do you have so many kids; haven't you ever heard of an abortion?
2 – What's it like actually being an executive?
1 – Yeah, but do the Germans like you?

By nominating Bush In 2000, Republicans told us that for USA, Bush is better than McCain. We saw 8 years of the better of the pack; we don’t want to experiment with the other one.

Here's an idea of what someone needs to say, "Gotcha. Palin was a joke."

As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a “bridge to nowhere.”

Thanks for the warning – ha ha ha ha ha

...no thanks...I have had about as much negativity and hate as I can stomach for one convention....change means out with the hate....and these guys cant live without it

Are you ready for some football? Why would I want to watch tight face and grumpy? Have fun people if you do. I will read about it in the morning.

Thank god the Convention drama is winding down. I am eagerly awaiting the debates which should be very interesting.

Rom Ridge? Some simple editing would help greatly!

You couldn't pay me to watch that sham of a performance. The repuglicans have worn me out with their lies, negativity and diviseness. Thanks, but no thanks I will be watching paint dry.

Great. Now we get to here about POW story at 2 more times after it's already been told at least 5 times in the last 2 days. I'm getting sick of this story. Great. While all of our military should be honored for their service they are making a mockery out of it and making a political stunt. John McCain, according to Palin, is the only one who has ever fought for the American people. BS. Obama could have went to Wall Street a decade ago to make the big $ but chose to fight for needy people in Chicago for chump change. These people are sick for making a mockery out Obama's great story.

Two old men and a Beer Princess, offering hope to the Country Club Christians and the rest of the Pharisees .....

Graham will speak tonight,,,,calling us again a whiner. You Republican people making me sick. What will Barbie has to say????

Obama/Biden

Who cares what Cindy has to say. She is an abused wife. I wonder which hand will be wearing a brace tonight.

More of the MUPPETS from Sesame Street will be on stage tonite.

Yippy.

THE MUPPETS TAKE MINNESOTA

Yeah thanks for that…I think I’ll wash my hair instead.

Who cares ? I have had enough with the pit bull. I'll be watching the House and Garden channel.
