Well she had been mcsame's running mate for awhile. When are they going to let her go it alone. What are they afraid of. Just goes to show she is a mcsame puppet. Let's hear what she or mcsame have to say about the HUGE deficit his good old buddy bush is leaving the next president. Peolple please wake up. Let give REAL CHANGE (OBAMA/BIDEN) the chance to show REAL CHANGE, not more of the republicans scaring people into voting for another for years of bush.

I only hope the good people of Virginia don't fall for this Republican nonsense IT'S A RUSE! McCain isn't the vehicle of change and Palin will set women back 20 or 30 years without choices! I am amazed that Good people actually believe McCain's empty words! Palin is just being told what to say she has never even met Obama. I hope someone burst that bubble soon! McCain knew exactly what he was doing he needed a mouth piece suddenly he's mute and she's the bell of his campaign! E.J. Mohammed someone who wll never vote another Republican again!

I remember how people reacted when Bush was elected in 2000 – How could 50,000,000 people be so "smart"?! Guess what – there was even more "good" news in 2004 – the number of "smart" people grew by >20%(!) to 62,000,000! I'm sure you can't wait to know who are those 62,000,000 "smart" people – well, your wait is over:

93% of republicans (well, that's totally expected)
86% of individuals for whom terrorism is the most important issue
(simply terrific job by Cheney&Rove)
85% of individuals who supported war in Iraq (sure, we are over there for a good reason)
84% of conservatives (by definition they have no new ideas – again, expected)
63% of gun owners (afraid that unless big daddy (Bush/Cheney/McCain) will protect them, someone else will take away their toys)
58% of individuals making > $100,000 per year (don't wonna pay more taxes)

Yes, "smart" in America did it in 2000 and 2004 – will they do it again in 2008?!!!

KEN: "trailer trash crowd"? What an elitist positioning, personified!

BTW, what you stated was equally vacuous; notice that I spelled it correctly. Vacuum is spelled with two 'U's. I learned that the first day in my Vacuum Technology course in t963. Not knowing the difference reduces you to less than the TTCs you demeaned; at least as far as I am concerned.

WE SEE THE CROWDS , WE SEE THE FLAGS WAVING , WE HEAR THE CHEERS , WE SEE THE SMILES ON THE PEOPLE'S FACES.
AND THAT FOLKS IS JUST THE START OF THE MCCAIN-PALIN RALLIES.. THEY NOW NEED LARGER VENUES FOR THEIR CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THE CROWDS ARE GETTING TOO BIG
FOR SCHOOL GYMS AND AUDITORIUMS. THIS IS TURNARIUND
TIDE OF THE MCCIAN-PALIN VICTORY TRAIN JUST ROLLING ALONG IN HIGH GEAR .
THE OBAMA CAMP IS TUNING THEIR CAMPAIGN IN DEFENSIVE MODE ON THE EXPERIENCE AND JUDGEMENT ISSUE NOW, WE SHOULD CREDIT OBAMA FOR HIS "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER" CREDENTIALS BECAUSE THAT IS A KIND OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.. NOTHING HOWEVER COMPARES TO JOINING THE RANKS OF OUR TROOPS LIKE MCCAIN AND PALIN'S SONS.
INCLUDING MCCAIN HIMSELF . THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT OBAMA IN WHICH OBAMA WAS QUOTED AS SAYING " I THOUGHT OF JOINING THE MILITARY " ONCE. ETC.ETC. THINKING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING IS JUST "WISHFUL THINKING" AND DOES NOT AMOUNT TO A PLATE OF BEANS.

For themselves: A vote for McCain and Palin

-–4 more years of Bush (or worse)
-–I am a woman and do not want to back in history....(Palin)
--All we have heard from them is attack attack attack...no meat and potatoes(at least Obama has a plan)

McCain and Palin... has not said anything on how they are gonna do what?.... Cutting Earmarks...is nothing compared to the billions we spend on the war.... the rich will continue to get richer and the poor poorer.... just think..... if abortions become illegal.....we will have more hungry children than Africa.....

with the way the economy is nad high energy prices...
and the policies of John and Sarah..... the USA will be far worse off than we already are.

Great John, keep her away from the press, that way they won't find out what a zero she is.

My suggestion would be to build a bunker and let her hide out wherever the heck Dick Cheney was hiding out during 9/11 and Katrina.

.....I think that, at least in theory, the McCain camp is concerned that McCain would draw less crowds than his running mate….thus making him less appealing by showing that the people aren't there for his "message" at all...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Of course people are there to see this "oddity pitbull". They don't give a hoot about McCain or what he has to say. Two woman I know told me they went to that airport rally just so she could see this woman lie in front of all those people. LOL!!! The jokes on the GOP's this year. Telling us a lier over and over still doesn't make it true and this year we're aware. America is paying attention this time. Truthful Information is easy to find this day and age. I'm so glad America got smart! I'm counting 10 Obama supporters to every 1 McCain supporter.

Gov. Palin is a McCain cheerleader! She always speaks before him at a rally & says the same old s tuff. I watched Sen Biden speak at the same time she was speaking on CNN this afternoon. Biden was speaking on health care, a top issue to many Americans. Palin was cheerleading as usual. She has no agenda. Time is short & the public still does not know what her stand is. Media has to dig to find something she has done as mayor or governor to get an idea of she's about. This is not a game to me. I am extremely disappointed at McCain for exploiting this woman, and I am upset that she is allowing them to make a pure fool out of her. He's using her and if he wins, she will not be allowed to do anything. She will be scripted as she is now. Sen. Obama has my vote. American women should be ashamed of voting her in. She is not and never will be Hilary Clinton. Hilary is no fool & she knows the issues. She didnt win but she'll back.

Women are coming out for Sarah Palin big time----20% of white women (including the Wal-Mart moms) jumped onto her bandwagon right after her convention speech. Concerned Women for America, arguably the nation's largest women's organization, with local chapters in every state, praised Palin, not just because she opposes abortion but because she is a "woman of accomplishment who brings a fresh face to traditional values and models the type of woman most girls want to become." Equally celebrated was that she "will bring to the forefront of our cultural conversations an intelligent, realistic, well-grounded woman's perspective." For groups like Concerned Women for America, Palin embodies modern conservative womanhood -- she is politically active, personally motivated and decidedly conservative. Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

All you raging Demorrhoids obviously haven't read the article. The heading is a simple fact -- the rally was moved to a larger venue. The article doesn't say they were ordered to move, only that it was done after "...some county School Board members and parents complained..." A careful examination of the facts proves that it is you who are lying.

The truth is Palin is an extremist, liar and a bully.

Extremist? (Dick Cheney pales in comparison)

Supporting the war in Iraq and calling it a "task from God." Dragging the women of America back to the ice ages with her ridiculous views on choice, which has to do with the control and oppression of women.

Liar? (a boldface one at that)

Supporting the Bridge To Nowhere, and then after Congress makes it DOA, saying she did not support it. Also, saying Obama's economic plan will raise taxes, and leaving out that those who make under $250,000 will do better under the Obama/Biden plan than McCain's

Bully? (yes, a lipstick wearing one)

Why try and get the investigation on possible "abuse of power" turned over to a committee appointed by her? Why put a librarian in the "little gut versus big guy" position by asking rhetorical questions about the banning of questions? You do don't have to be overt or criminal to be a bully.

Hillary said it best – No Way No How No McCain.

John sure knows how to use women. He duped his first wife into thinking he was a good husband and caring father, and then ditched her for a role in the hay with Cindy Lou.

He used Cindy for...well you know what he used her for, and her family money.

He's now using Sarah as a last ditched effort to become relevant in a campaign that hasn't given him the time of day, until now.

And he will use all of the female supporters to help him continue the failed Bush policies of the last 8 years. Way to go John, some man.

Anybody notice that McCain attempted a ripoff of Obama's campaign at the last possible minute? Why would an experienced candidate (McCain) plagiarize his supposedly less experienced rival? If Obama is so bad, why copy him?

The change the country needs is not from old to young. It's from Republican to Democrat.

Look folks the fight is on. Sorry I know us Dems are above your average Redneck Joe in Texas,,(they dont think) but its time we Dems get down and dirty in the mud to win this thing! It has to be that way....that sadly is how politics have gone now...nobody wants to talk about the issues because so far the GOP does not even understand the issues....if they did we would not be in the mess we are in. Look folks, Reganomics and Trickledown has never worked, and will never work. Regan is the one that yes outspen the Russians but also at the same time spent us right into a recession! Thank god for the dot com boom of the early 90's. Lets get Obama in there and an energy boom will be happening....and they we will all have a happy holiday season...yes even you dumb Texans...

America has been violated and cheated on first time by republicans, we gave them four more years to fix their mistakes, what they do, they cheated again. Now we are not sure whether or not to give them another 4 years to cheat again. Even if i am a republicain, i will call on my senses. America don't let republicans get away with their mistakes. they are good actors at denying theirs mistakes. If Mccain is only concerned about energizing his base , that is all he will do if elected which is do the same as bush, Work for republicans not america

For months McCain ridiculed Obama and called him an elitist, The One and a celebrity. He was obviously just jealous at the time because now he is absolutely thrilled to have his own celebrity. Too bad she outshines him. For a year and a half Obama campaigned on "Change" and McCain campaigned on "experience". That wasn't working so guess what now McCain is campaigning on CHANGE. Can't he think on his own.

We American people we have to think about this. For example, the Republican Conservatives Party came out full force and had elected Bush twice and the results are failed policies which left our country in a Economy mess and the Republicans deep down in thier hearts knows this. My question is to all Americans why should we reward the Republicans's failure by putting another Bush=Mccain and Cheney=Palin their policies are the same as Bush. We have to come out full force against the Republicans we must elect a Democratic we must elect Obama/ Biden Listen People the reason the country is in a mess is because of the Republicians failed Poliices.

Wasn't it just a few days ago that Obama was complaining that all McCain did was attack? Well now that they're behind in the polls it seems like Obama and Biden are doing just that. Hey DemMan, if Palin isn't qualified to be VP then Obama is certainly not qualified to be Prez. Yes Palin isn't Hillary. Plain got where she is by her own efforts, not because of who she married. If Hillary weren't Hillary 'Clinton', she'd have never gotten elected to the Senate.

If you had told even the most ardent McCain supporters that he and Obama would be tied (and ultimately McCain ahead) at the end of the conventions they would have not have believed you. Clearly people are listening to what McCain/Palin have to say and they are finding more relevance in the change they are advocating rather than the socialist creed of "tax the rich and keep the poor in their place by giving them crumbs" spewage of Nobama.
