I just wanted to extend my heartfelt sympathies and prayers to Jack Cafferty and his family (since comments are closed on his page), for the loss of his loving wife.

How pathetic?

Why are people concerned with popularity. Whether we are talking about Obama or Palin, I don't care who is popular. Obama/Biden have put out a specific plan and McCain/Palin have not. Do your homework people, our economy and jobs depend on it.

Giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, does not make sense. Cutting taxes can only go so far until there are diminishing returns.

That is why I am supporting Obama. Real Solutions not platform slogans.

Why is it that the McCain campaign is so scared to leave her alone? Is it that she actually knows nothing about what is effect the American people and you are scared she will deviate from the script? Or is it if John McCain isn't by her side people will actually realize she is nothing but a puppet who read teleprompters and talk about other people who use teleprompters?

Has anyone began to fact ceck this joke of a candidate. Read this artilce "Palin "bridge to nowhere" line angers many Alaskans" by Reuters to find out the truth about her. No to the bridge but thanks for the money. What was that about saying one thing in Scranton and another in San Francisco. I gues it is ok to say one thing in Alaska and another in St Paul.

close is right…. GOP is afraid she'll say stupid things or shoot a moose.

People are not coming to see her because they believe in what she is saying. They are coming to pinch themselves to make sure this isn't a nightmare and is really happening.

It will be interesting to see how long they can keep Palin from the press. The McCain attacks on the press as I see it are unfounded, for example, trying to say that Campbell Brown went too far – that is a bunch of bull. At some point he is going to have to make her available and no amount of cramming is going to do – the real story will come out.

When the press FINALLY gets a hold of her, I'm hoping they will ask her the really hard questions about domestic issues, about foreign affairs, about her views on abortion, on the environment, on the economy, and about her past involvement with the AIP, and her Pentacostal religion that holds that Islam is a false religion and that the war on terror is a holy war for her. I want to hear her without her GOP muzzle on.

AWWW how cute she is staying around the feed Mcsame his ensure what a saint! Lol!

She's Just Window Dressing!

Spit And Run Palin

I guess that's what you do when you can't run on the issues — Try to dazzle the electorate with a "hot chick" (according to the Indiana delegation's buttons). Didn't work on me, won't work on America.

Palin- sounds exactly like Karl Rove and Cheney together, She is really bad for this country.

CNN, please investigate her thoroughly regarding ties to the Alaskan Independence party. I find her link to this Party to be very unamerican and unpatriotic.

I hope Hillary can kick her to the curb. (i can't believe i am rooting for Hillary, that's what happens when people make fun of community organizing, very unchristian)

Looks like his base would prefer Palin-McCain '08.

Can you imagine the shots of Palin getting twice the number of people at her rallies than McCain?

When's the last time a VP totally upstaged the top of the ticket? Will it start to make people question who's wearing the pants in this political relationship?

Gosh if people could only ask them questions. Obama and Biden are taking questions every day from America, why not these two?

"Spit And Run Palin"

She Doesn't Know Policy, That;s Why There So Afraid!

Anything to keep Palin away from the Press.

As far as her son from what I understand is going to be in "the rear guarding high ranking officer's. He is getting special preferences.

How come he isn't going to be on the front line with our sons? McCain wants to leave our wonderful military there for a 100 years! I also understand that Gov. Palin has the State of Alaska in a $22 billion debt. When she took over Alaska didn't have any debt.

Obama/Biden 08

Birds of a feather flock together…

It's good for the voters to see those two together and realize that whatever McCain USED to be, he's now become a tool of the extreme right neocon movement.

Palin is not ready for the campaign trail, she is not ready on foreign policy and is being tutored by the Bush folks, she is not ready to talk about issues without a script, she is not ready to talk to reporters, and she is NOT ready to be VP or President.

Well of course they do, it's not like she can answer questions or go off script or anything like that. Empty suit! The GOP are such hypocrites! They were all over Obama but now that their new pitbull is so popular, should we be calling her a celebrity since she will only grant interviews to People magazine?

Not a suprise there when you pick someone who knows NOTHING about leading a country. All she does know is how to open her big mouth and spew lies!!!!

Popularity can be fleetingThere are a lot of unflattering things coming down the pipeline about Gov. Palin. Although they may bury this Trooper Gate thing, it is just an indicator of what seems to be a pattern. When Palin was elected Mayor of tiny Wasilla Alaska. She fired the Police Chief for no given reason other than they did not click.
Goggle search Anne Kilkenny, Palin Email for some very interesting insight.

You have to put Lipstick on her and show her sooner or later. Is she going to wait until the debates? Rosetta Stone has a crash course on read my lips and say as I say.

If I was Cindy, I would watch out! maybe this is the CHANGE he is talking about!

McCain, McNot, McNever

GOP will be keeping the Bush Speechwriters busy. People ask Puppet Palin questions!!!

Yeah! Keep the female Dick Cheney next to the Flip-Flop Senator!

You can trust Governor Palin to get us into a Holy War if she becomes President, and you can trust McCain to –

Well, actually you can't trust McCain. He flips, he flops, he slithers.

As the British say, he's neither flesh nor fowl nor good red herring!

The McCain Camp Is So Afraid.

Put Her Out There, Lets See What Shes Made Of.

I'm Starting To Think That Gov. Palin Is Really An Air Head When It Come To Politics!

A "Spit And Run Palin" Politician.

Would she even know what to do on her own?

Everyone better look closely at Palin. Ther's more than meets the eye and I don't meen positive. This soccer mom veneer is just that. Be careful not to get caught up in her spin. Check out her church affiliation and a group that prays to convert gays. Suporting her and McCain is definately going in the wrong direction. Next we'll be re-considering slavery.

PAY ATTENTION,THIS IS NOT A SOAP COMMERCIAL>

Smart move. Don't let her off the reservation as she might,horror of horrors, say something that hasn't been scripted or, worse, have to talk to the press.

Sounds like they don't trust her to go out on her yet. Hmm I wonder why…

I would send her to only three states–West Virginia, Kentucky and Alaska. The rest of the country is more intelligent than to believe anything she says. They may even have to scrap those plans.

PLEASE, IS THER SOMEONE OUT THERE KNOWS ANY INFORMATIION ABOUT THE LATEST NEWS ABOUT PALIN CALLING BARACK OBAMA A SAMBO?

Gov. Sarah Palin firmly put her foot in her mouth during her debut speech. She violated the first premise of operational security for military families. She announced to a world-wide audience her son’s specific unit, his MOS (military occupational specialty) and the specific dates of the unit’s deployment. This just is not done, ever. If I were the commander of that unit I would be screaming to the Pentagon to change the deployment and I would transfer that boy as far away from my unit as I could.

BTW, I am a military father and I did command an Air Force squadron during the Vietnam War.

Sarah Palin does not understand national security and she does not understand the needs of our great military. Sarah Palin is dangerously naive.

Palin is qualified to be Vice President. She just isn't quite qualifed to do interviews! McMoose is a gun-toting coward.

The truth is they are scared to let her out on her own. There is too much at risk with her extremely sketchy background.

How long can she hide? If she is not ready to campaign on her own how can John McCain say she is ready to be the vice president????
This is not funny – it is frightening.

She can be solo, because she doesn't know what to do solo! she needs to be trained first.. I respect her but is the truth sadly. I heard from her the same lines she stated in the convention.. Poor women she doesn't have a clue!! I think McCain Campaign needs to trained her very well especially when she decides to give interviews..

What's the matter? She can't stand on her own two feet? How can anyone with an "ounce of intellect" as my grandmother use to say even consider her for VP.

Aw, is Palin afraid to go out and speak on her own?

Or is McCain afraid of what she'll say if they don't keep her on-script?

So what this ticker is saying is McCain is too BORING to draw a crowd himself ?????????????????!

Exactly!

Well they have to train her somewhere before she gets some "experience" and gains some knowledge of what is going on in the world and exactly what a Vice President is supposed to do–it's called on the job training…just what we need for someone who may be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

The Republican elders love this…if something happens to McCain, they will be running the country as they have been for the past 8 years, not Palin. No wonder the base is excited. There will be no change, just the way they want it.

Keeping them together because of "unprecedented energy?"

More likely that they're afraid to let her out on her own.

And what does that say about your campaign if people were bored silly before you made a pick of an extreme right and unqualified candidate?

Some Alaskans Dont Want To Share Palin With The Lower 48 States . . . And Some Down Here Dont Want Her! . . . Lets Compromise . . . Take Her Back . . . And We Will All Be Happy!

So McCain still has the pitbull on a leash? She's not trained yet, so she isn't allowed to roam by herself.

HAHHHAAHHAHAHAH
I wonder WHO is the "front runner" on the ticket ??

Palin or McCain ???

The real reason is that they need enough time to brief her on what a VP actually do. I will really like to see the they the media get to ask her one question on the stump, I will bet she will fail on an answer.

Please go back to Alaska and take care of your family.

If her daughter is going to marry the father of her child, I bet it will never happen…if they mean what they say, then they need to mary b4 the election in November..after the election regardless of the results, this boyfriend is out the door and old news…oh! and let's not forget her ex-brother-in-law which she lied about…she knows she wanted him fired and when it did not happen she freaked and did her own little thing.

She is on the ticket because of: her son goin to Iraq(sympathy votes), her daughter being pregnant(sympathy votes) and her gender(sympathy votes).

John loves the eyecandy around.

If Palin is not ready for the press, how can she be ready to be President? She has slanted everything( library, bridge, jet, eloping pregnant) she did in Alaska as Gov also. Who would trust anything she says!

palin shes a joke

Let her do an interview… WITHOUT NOTE CARDS or SCRIPTED QUESTIONS.

I think some of us would be fine with it if you skipped the state of Missouri.

Dont seperate the evil twins.

This is not the reason, it's because she is not ready to speak on her own. They are training her in Rove's way. If she is so good, she should have been on her own after they announced her, even more so maybe she should have been their nominee.

Come on, let her come out on her own. What, afraid she can't handle it?. She'll be okay as long as you write down everything you want her to say (Carl Rove are you listening ?) and tell her not to take any questions. But I understand, you have to let her go with Johnnie boy, she's the one keeping people from falling asleep. That's okay, the smart ones see through her lies and hate.

Obama/Biden '08

Palin's ties to the AIP, including a video of her addressing the 2008 AIP Convention in Fairbanks go to sarahpalinexposed.com

AIP= Alaskan Independence Party
AIP= succession from the USA

WHERE WAS THE EXPERIENCE, JUDGMENT AND COUNRY FIRST IN PICKING HER.

If she gets in the white house we may become 49 states and not 50

The SHRILLA FROM WASILLA is in no shape to be flying solo anytime soon!! She needs to be protected and kept under-wing at least until the election in November. Obviously, she's not ready to face the mean-old media who's going to ask her tough, sexist questions that will make her cry!!

Oh cry-me-a-river, Republicans!! You picked and supported a lame, inexperienced VP candidate that can't even stand on her own two feet in this election, and cry foul when she's criticized for it. She is in NO shape to answer the really tough questions about what should be done about fixing the turmoil that is the current state of our nation.

She's a pretty face… that has about 5 minutes worth of experience. I'm with Peggy Noonan… it's OVER!!

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

Proof that McCain needs Palin to prop him up. Proof that Mccain cannot draw huge crowds on his own.

CNN should start the investigation of Palin's affair and Palin also should undergo a DNA test to prove that Trig is her son

No! You are hiding her from the press!

But that's OK. Palin is going to jail!

Hillary will be in Florida on Monday – that's why you won't send Palin there!

Each day we learn something new! And, it ani't good!

They will keep her out on the trail because it is the only way to get the GOP to his rally otherwise they don't show up! The radical right has made a huge mistake placing there faith in a women that has already gave a speech looked us in the eyes and lied without batting one pretty eye lash! From the lies that she sold her jet, to being fiscally conservative. Lies, Lies, Lies. I guess thought she is campaigning with the right man he also claims that she sold the jet on E-bay even after it was proven to be a lie but he went even further claiming they made money on the sale yet another Lie! they lost over 2 million! now the jet is used to fly GOP elitist on hunting trips around Alaska.

Go Obama/ Biden 08 Yes We Can

Hast thou forsaken me?… I was a community organizer too

HA HA, more time to teach her how to avoid the media and what to say on the campain trail…

How long will they be able to keep her away from the press and proper vetting? The woman is a dangerious liar! 6 years and 5 schools to ge a BA. Yes, she is the best the Republicans have.
Eventually her past will come out, and the American people will see it's just another hoax.

Palin is like a baton-twirling school girl at a nursing home. No matter how incapable she is, she's bound to liven up the joint.

good for them

i guess they are scared to send her out by her self Huuuuuuuuuuuu

It is really sad when your VP pick is more popular than the candidate for President! I can't remember a time in American history when this has been the case. And, what is even worse is that Palin is such a flawed and irresponsible choice for VP that I am actually quite afraid at the thought of her being a heartbeat away from the Presidency. McCain is a weak and foolish person who has sold his Independent soul to the right-wing conservative movement.

that woman needs to go no palin no way!!

Hahaha…..good one……they don't want to leave her alone for a sec.
