Double Standards, there is one standard for the Old White man and another Standard for the younger Black man..

Can we all be judge the same for using the same words?

I would love to see where Gov Palin keep the money to from the bridge to nowhere that she was against?

I have no love for Rove but, he is right on this. Palin will burn herself out soon enough.

Palin is the one who attacked OBAMA be ridiculing the work of Community Organizers.

Palin has to face the press. How else do we know if she is ready to even stand up and speak at the international level?

Hypocrite Rove, provide the information about the 1000 questions around Palin a candidate packaged by you.

Rove should be in jail for all the atrocities and pain he has caused to this nation.

Karl Rove is the man responsible for getting George W. Bush, the worst president in history, elected twice. Anything Rove says is worthless. He's the mastermind behind America's ongoing culture wars and is a big reason why the future of our country is at stake thanks to his divisive politics and sick ideology. Because of his smear campaigns and dirty political tactics he has divided this country so badly that we may never reach a compromise on anything that matters. I hope Karl Rove enjoys warm places, because there are several rows in he** reserved for him!

Wow. The illiteracy in so many of these posts, the partisans flooding a message board, the sheer hatred and venom-spitting... makes me ashamed to be an American. Thanks guys. That's awesome.

The Republicans want to just keep Palin's record a secret, because it is not a good one: support for the bridge to nowhere before opposing it, etc. Yet they want to use her so called "reform" background to claim they are agents for change. The republicans are simply trying to lie to people and get away with it. Hopefully people will be smarter than the republicans think they are and say NO to a "Bush third term"

Shut up Rove, nobody cares what you think!

Karl Rove should be in jail, together with Bush, Chaney, and a lot of other people. I can't believe he has a finger in McSame's campaign, he should be ashamed to even talk to that criminal.

I guess Rove doesn't think Palin can fend for herself in this election? The men has to stick up for her because she's a little girl? That's what it sounds like, and that's also what it sounds like when people say that Biden better watch out in the debates so he doesn't come off as a bully. If Palin wants to be VP of the United States, she has to be hard enough to take on people like Putin or Musharraf, and people are worried about Biden taring her apart?
I personally believe that women can do exactly the same thing as men, BUT equality is not just benefits, it comes with downsides too and those downsides are what Palin has to face alone. If she can't do it, then she is not fit to be VP. Simple as that.
Rove is sounding very condescending when he's saying stuff like this, and so does the people that say that Biden better go easy on her...

Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Michigan, Missouri ... are you better off now than you were 8 years ago?

If yes, vote McCain
If no, vote Obama

Even Rove is trying to help the man in the stick house. Watch out the big bad Sarah is going to knock it down.
Q. Is Obama related to Jimmy Carter in any way? He seems like a dreamer too.

WOW WOW WOW I AM SO DISAPOINTED AT YOU AC360 FOR NOT PUSHING HARD ON YOUR SHOW ABOUT PALIN NOT INTERVIEWING FOR THE AMERICA PEOPLE TO SEE WHERE SHE STAND ON THE REAL ISSUES.

How insulting to post this (along with his picture) on today of all days. This is meant to be a distraction. We will not fall for any more distractions.... ENOUGH!

Many of you Dems simply don't like Rove but the fact remains that many of the techniques he developed are now being used by the Obama campaign and democrats across the country. Regardless of how you feel about the man, he knows what he is talking about, Dems wouldn't be using his campaign strategy's if he didn't!!

McCain has made a deal with the devil, whose minions (Rove & Schmidt) are hard at work.

God Bless America... For Real.

What's that Rove? Obama should attack Palin?

I think he can address Palin when she's brought out as some savior for the GOP. Rove is just trying to ligitimize the phony outrage over calling a bad candidate a bad candidate.

Karl Rove is scum of the earth and nothing he says should have any merit.

TO
AMERICAN PEOPLE OF UNITED STATES

We have to realize we gave 8 years of our lives and power to C grade intellectual to run this country. Its time for us to be smart, nonracial, noncynical to elect a ' A' grade intellectual for next 4 years. ITS OUR TIME. IT HAS TO BE OUR MISSION to send a MESSAGE to every REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN that they can't distract American people with PALIN. As a FELLOW AMERICAN, I do know AMERICANS are smarter than this. OUR COUNTRY IS HEADING WRONG DIRECTION. People WE dont need another C grade intellectual to decide the future of this country.

For me, the most frightening thing about Sarah Palin is her Pentecostal Church's teaching that the War in Iraq is a Holy War, hopefully leading up to the War of Armageddon, which will end with Christ's true believers being caught up to meet Him in the Air, in the Rapture.
Sarah Palin believes it's O.K. to attack Barack Obama for some of his Pastor's comments, but calls it sexist to question her own belief in the Final Conflict being scripted by God in Iraq and the Middle East.
If you are not frightened by Sarah Palin's world view, you should be!

Any advice Rove gives to Obama, means do the complete opposite.

There will be no harm done by exposing her as a coward that runs from the press like Bush and Cheney ran from Vietnam. The GOP behavior towards her means she has a lot to hide that needs to be exposed so the American people can make a more informed decision.

Wake up everyone Bristol is on you tube in a bad way You will have to search it for yourself.

P A L I N 'S..............................VERY VERY VERY I N E X P E R I E N C E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rove is a slimeball...........is he trying to pull attention away from Mc???

so, let me get this straight, Rove is telling Senator Obama not to attack Palin? Ok, then I will. Here goes: the Republicans are all fired up about a ticket comprised on an old, philandering Keating-Five crook; and, an ultra-right wing ideologue with a penchant for guns, and who, as mayor of her small Alaska town, forced rape victims to pay for their own rape kits until the Alaskalegislature put a stop to it. No, this ticket is too big a target not to take some well-deserved shots at it.

Yet another tactic by Mr Rove..
Mr. Rove you may be able to fool half of America with your mind games, but I didn't fall for it the last 8 years, and guess what , not falling for it this time.
Mr. Rove In case you haven't noticed Barack Obama has not attacked Ms. Palin infact never has.n It is a fantasy a LIE created by your corrupt party and you.
Infact it is Ms. Palin who has attacked Barack Obama on all levels. someone she does not even know.
Once again you and your party have hijacked integrity and goodness.
My only solace Mr. Rove, is that, Your Karma is coming.. I hope I'm around to see it.. You are not doing good things..

Rosalie Shepherd

I am a Republican who has gotton tried of hearing our party appear as if it has not thrown remarks at our opponent, when in fact we have done more dirt talking than them. I have yet to hear a laid out plan from our candidates McCain and Palin. So Mr. Rove maybe you ought to give this same advice to our canidates as well, that is to be fair. I agree with McCain on some issue and not on others. When picking Palin, even though I am a woman, I feel that she is not ready to be our VP and surely not our President if McCann is elected and something happens to where he would not be able to continue as President.

This is a smoke screen to somehow suggest the the lipstick comment had something to do with Palin. The feigned outrage by the Right doesn't stand to gain from having the criminal Karl Rove rushing to the rescue.

The american people are not stupid; the democrats are so scared; they thought they had the ticket with a black president. They could have had a woman for VP BUT Obam with his almighty wisdom Obama blew that one. So how much more will he screw up. McCain have the guts to step out and name Palin VP. I would be willing to bet Palin will shine well when it is all said and done. For those who do not want a woman in the white house. Sooner than later they will be one come this fall.

The american people are tired of the democrats and their manipulate moves in congress so they can win the white house again. They do not care nothing about the American people it is obvious. Shame on you DEMS. LOSERS!!!!! Take your hollywood types and put them where the sun does not shine. The fact is the majority of them in Hollywood act irresponsibly so who cares what they think. Hollywood go play, thats what you best and let the real americans decide 2008

You may like or dislike Rove but if I was "the clown" I most certainly will refrain from bashing Palin. Palin is not Hillary and if "the clown" and obamabots continue to do so, as Rove said, you will definitely be packing your bags to Chicago which we know you will at the end anyway. Women will not stand for that and most women already label "the clown" as sexist anyway so he is now solidifying his position. As for Matt Demon, we do not know what you are thinking. You must learn to separate your opinion and anger from the way you felt about women in general. This really shows us women, even though we support you in your craft, if the table was turned, you will rather "call us names" than support us. Yes, we understand the freedom of speech and all, but spewing it off in the air wave suggest you too, is a sexist.
When "the clown", looses, it would not be anyone's fault but his own, DNC and superdelegates. The man is not experience enough to be even in the second spot of the presidential ticket and now that we are beginning to know the messenger, we are definitely separating the message from the messenger. Without teleprompter, "the clown" definitely cannot put two words together without puting his foot in his mouth. Now it resignates what Hillary said. We need someone who is ready from "DAY ONE." WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LET AN INTERN WHO HOPE TO LEARN ON THE JOB MOVE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. THREE AM CALLS DEMAND AN EXPERIENCE CANDIDATE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO THINK ON HIS FEET. OBAMA IS NOT THAT CANDIDATE AND EVERYONE IS BEGINNING TO SEE AND KNOW THAT "A COLOSAL INJUSTICE" HAD BEEN DONE TO THIS COUNTRY BY NOT CHOOSING THE CANDIDATE THAT WE ELECTED WHO HAS EXPERIENCE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO RUN THIS ELECTION. YES, WE WILL LIKE TO SEE A BLACK PRESIDENT, BUT WE WILL NOT DO SO IN THE DETRIMENT OF OUR COUNTRY WITH AN INEXPERIENCE CANDIDATE.
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 AND HILLARY 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to see Rove's face, unless there are bars in front of it....

I believe Karl Rove, probably the only time that i will side with him!

Obama needs to wake up, and read between the lines. Sarah was brought to punch his anger button, and make him fall into the nasty pool of politics, but he needs to remain focus, continue the fine job, in hammering the real true change that could ever take over the oval office; in recent years.

If Obama is stupid enough to take advice from Rove he deserves to lose the election. Obama does not need to attack Palin. The press will do it for him. Obama needs to avoid the old sexist phrases about putting lipstick on a pig. If he wants to go there at all, he should simply note that a pit bull is a pit bull with or without lipstick. But that line best comes from the guy running against Palin, a guy named Biden last I heard. Obama needs to remind the Republic that putting a person a heartbeat away from the Presidency is the most important task a candidate has on the campaign trail. And ask the public if McCain made the wisest possible choice. And let it go at that.

I'm a Democrat who loathes Karl Rove but he has point here. The American people according to the media do not elect Vise Presidents, granted a large portion of American people go for the glitter instead of the facts but in the end they will pulling the trigger for the President.

When they see Obamas name on the ticket they will hesitate, think about his race, but then punch his card for his convictions and Presidential appearance. By the way, Obama had a few TV moments behind a podium lately speaking about issues and showing his intelligence. He is looking very Presidential these days.....

Call CNN and MSNBC and tell them you want to hear about the "real" issues facing America not about lipstick on a pig. Whether you are a Dem or Rep, let the media know that this e-entertainment coverage of the campaigns will not be tolerated.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
CNN – 404-827-1700

Keep your advice Karl rove everyone know your games but guess what not this time you done and nobody need you in Obama is side you are one of people who put Bush in wrong way for this country so just stay away and keep quite Obama is in intellectual man he knows that it's between him and Mc cain the stick thing has nothing to do with Palin even she is the one who started to talk about Obam is experience ...and alot Go OBAMA you got you

Obama needs to hit McCain and his twin, Palin, on their over-inflated records and resumes.

McCain did not protect us when he voted for the war. He didnt even have the judgement to stop and think and question it and thoroughly review it.

This tell you right here that nothing will change. So if you like the way the country is going then vote for McCain and if you don't then vote Obama. Obama has not said one word attacking Palin. Everytime you hear him speak he says McCain. I would like to know why is McCain so silent all of a sudden.

Karl Rove you have no respect for this day. Always scheming and plotting. Go on a diet and that goes for your big mouth too.

Spoken like a true Republican strategist. It's obvious that if Palin is "attacked" she will be exposed as inexperienced and unfit for the VP position. The advice Rove gives is just another way of trying to divert attention away from another unqualified Republican, (like Bush) . I only hope the American people, (Republicans and Democrats) realize that this isn't a popularity contest. We need some one in the VP slot (regardless of party) that is ready to lead should something happen to the President. Palin is not ready for that by any stretch of the imagination.

Someone should lock Karl Rove up and throw away the key. He is like a drug to the Republican Party. Obama is the cure for that addiction. Karl remainds me of the Grinch. His life centers on hate and fear mongering.

McCain supporters still think experience beats judgement. Interesting. You have two types of experience, good experience and bad experience. Good experience is McCain sometimes opposing Bush and the republicans. Bad experience here is McCain voting with Bush 90% of the time. I'd say his bad experience strongly over takes his whole experience, which means that he doesn't have the JUDGEMENT!

Lies, Smears, Fear Card, More Lies = Republican Campaigns.
Will wait and see if the American electorate is still stupid enough to fall for it. So far it appears that they may be.

Obama doesn't need advice from a moron like Rove. Too many of us have read 1984 and a Brave New World. Unlike the baby boomer generation, we aren't going to let this country to S $% T!

Get ready America, it's out with the old and in with the new. We're more like our World War II Grandparents. We're going to be the next Greatest Generation!

Obama 08 baby!

REMINDER to all voting Americans: the GOP claims that Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama because she has had actual executive experience serving as governor of Alaska. Have Americans forgotten that G. W. Bush's political experience prior to the presidency was serving as governor of the great state of Texas?????? And look at where our country is today!!!!! Need I say more?

CNN: why won't you print my comments????????????????

Double standard. She can attack him but he can't attack her back? Over the same thing she's attacking him with?

Karl Rove is a criminal slimeball who has orchestrated all the disgraceful negative ads that are nothing but pure lies. He was Cheney's lap dog and was directly involved in the illegal blowing of the cover of CIA agent Valerie Pflame as retalitaion against her husband who publically stated the facts used to convince Americans and Congress to start a war in Iraq were false. He ignored a Congressional subpoena to testify before the Judiciary Committee. Nothing he does or say can be trusted. Even his colleagues says he is a person with no ethics and will stoop to any level to get what he wants. It says a lot about McCain's lack of character that he has let Rove run his nasty, deceitful campaign. Rove is a thug and McCain has no integrity left by letting this criminal run his campaign strategy. McCain is now acting like Rove. McCain will say and do anything out of desperation to get elected. McCain has destroyed his creditability and has proven he is not Presidential-worthy. No Way No How No McCain. We are sick of your negative ads, your messages of no substance, your ridiculous pick of an extremist nut from Alaska for VP, and your constant flip-flopping on what you believe. Your words change based on who you are in front of. Your record speaks for you. You are nothing more than another Bush and you have no credible plans for cleaning up the Republican mess of the last 8 years. McCain is too old, too unhealthy, too out-of-touch with real Americans, and has proven he has no judgment qualities or character in choosing the corrupt and scaringly unqualified Palin. McCain is a candidate who cannot be trusted and who is NO agent of change.

Shut up and answer you subpena!

cnn. who care about.what rove say why did you but on your web .... daaaaaaaam., cnn . just like. fixx news. or mybe trying to be like fixx news.

Obama never attacked Palin. Republicans are lieing to distract us!!!! Just like they did in 2000 and 2004..... disgusting. We want to hear about the policies that affect us everday!

CNN. Why would you stoop so low and even bring Roves name up This guy is no American this is the same guy that outed a CIA agent this guy should be in jail the rest of his life.

Keep your advice Karl rove everyone know your games but guess what not this time you done and nobody need you in Obama is side you are one of people who put Bush in wrong way for this country so just stay away and keep quite Obama is in intellectual man he knows that it's between him and Mc cain the stick thing has nothing to do with Palin even she is the one who started to talk about Obam is experience ...and alot Go OBAMA you got you

Did Rove just admit Palin is weak on experience? Rove is a spinner of lies – why can't Republicans see him and Palin for what they are? Desperate maybe?

As for Palin, I would like to attack her myself. She is a religious zealot. The worst thing since George Bush. Let's hope the Democrats come out to vote this time around. After all, there are more Democrats in this country than the big-government-loving Republicans.

Please come out and vote Democrats!!

Lily
In Florida

looks like satan got out of his cave

GOP = GRAND OLD PIGS (with or without Lipstick)

You have no right to call anyone dumb. You are the dumbest of dumb and you play on peoples fears. America needs to wake up to this guys tactics!

CNN please post.

Rove is the only dumb politician currently alive in US, when is he going to jail. He is a pig without a lipstick. Stupid!!

ROB
kinda like mcain is hiding behind sara when is mccain gonna be a man and stop using and hiding behind her? who is number one on the ticket sure seems like sara palin to me

Karl Rove opening his pie hole is still more evidence that with McCain in the White House, nothing will be different than it has been for the past 8 years!

I love how liberals want to put people in jail who disagree with them politically. Go Carl Marx! Socialism will not win in America.

Who would listen to this Liar he is advising Mccain senior advisors so why would Obama listen to anything this liar says Mccain campaign is running with His Lie Politics who other than the Mcbush Cam

Maybe ask Matt Damon or Madonna for their expert advice. Wow, if the dems could only get the support of the Olsen twins, I'd fall right in line too.

People.......Do you really think that this man cares about the Dems winning the White House. He's one of the key players in McSames campaign. I am so sick of him, Fox news, and MSM for not telling it like it is.MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US, IF THE GOP WINS!!!

To Rudy YNC,
Good point my friend.

Why is Carl Rove giving Obama helpful tips? Why not just let his campaign duplicate past failures!

Obama has not been attacking Palin. Clearly, Rove wants to make it seem as if Obama has been attacking her and, by this story running, that has been accomplished.

Rove is right on this one.
Leave Palin to the side let the media and the american people vet her. She would not survive it. Cos she is a phony.
Obama's focus should be on the issues here on out. I don't even think attacking Mccain is necessary at this point. Like one person said on here earlier, its a shame other Dems have gone AWOL. They should be the ones unleashing hell to McCain & Palin.
Obama: he wants to seal this thing done one thing and one thing only. Come up with proposed solutions to the ample problem facing America and expecially the battleground states.
The economy (Taxes, Deficit, and govt spending control)
Ethics reform (Govt under Bush has become a shame)
health care
Jobs : green tech new jobs, infrastucyure development etc
Wars ( End Iraq and how, win in Afgan and how)
Border security and immigration reform ( Suggest solutions that do not disenfranchise Hispanics but still yet protect our border in the name of Natl. Security)
Eductation.

These are real problems and McCain has no solutions. He is interested in playing politics and the blame game. (Not solutions)
No way, no how, NO CLUE, McCain/Palin

I think Rove putting in his two cents at this point shows the Republicans "strategy" regarding Palin. First they portray Palin as tough, calling her "Barracuda" and "pitbull". At the same time, the Republicans shield her from the press, making up excuses like "the media is after her", trying to elicit sympathy for her, I guess. Now two weeks later, no one knows what her views are on any major issues or even if she has any views at all! Then they make up this controversy that Obama called her a pig, again to elicit sympathy from the public because the "big, bad black politician" is attacking a woman. Now you've got Rove actually telling Obama not to attack her, again to drive home the fact that Obama was attacking her when in fact he wasn't. (Note: McCain used the same "lipstick on a pig" phrase when speaking about Hillary Clinton but apparently its ok when a Republican uses it against a Democrat). I don't know about you but all I've seen to date is a VP candidate who can't campaign on her own, can't deal with the press and can't deal with the realities of American politics. Is this woman who we want to be one step away from the Presidency of the United States of America? I don't think so.

To Alice in FL... Oh, please... I am seem to recall Florida and an election in 2000! What party really steals votes??? Or, are most of those living in Florida like McCain – suffering from dementia???

Rove has already done Barack's work for him when he said that Gov Kane wasn't qualified for VP because he has been a governor of Virginia(more population and higher budget than Alaska) for less than 3 years and was only the mayor of Richmond(many times larger than Wasila) before that. This quote should be on an Obama/Biden commercial.

CNN Please Post.

The Republican Party know that they are losing this election thats why the likes of Rove and others are coming out the woodwork but they may have backup plan like in 2000 and 2004. Steal It!!!!!!!!!

Who cars what this criminal thinks- besides, he's wrong. If your going to run for VP then be prepared for contact sports. Woman or not shes gotta be tough, maybe she can 'consult' with Hillary on that dept too.

When did Obama attack Palin? Where is Karl is getting this information? I guess if he repeats it enough times people will actually believe that Obama attacked Palin..Can't you see he is just trying to distract us from the real issues. God please save us from the evils of Bush,Cheney,Mcain,Palin and Karl.

Someone please locj up this war criminal I am sick of seeing and hearing him. Why dont you stop covering the war criminal CNN. What gives other than the fact he has a warrant from congress what else is their really to say about him other than he's should be arrested. People go to jail for parking tickets and this war criminal is walking the streets. Pathetic!!!

It is a proven fact that Palin's is already lying about her record and it is causing people to spend too much time addressing her when she should not be that important. If she was not known on the first place, and most of the very first accomplishments she has listed are not accurate, then why should people be so concerned about her? People who well informed and rational will hopefully see the reality, and if Senator Obama keeps being who he is, there is no reason to worry. As of this moment, he is still the most positive candidate out there even though most of his own supporters want him to attack. He will be fine as long as the new generation of voters gets out there to vote and he keeps addressing the real issues!

Karl Rove is a McCain campaign supporter and "unofficial" advisor. Please, CNN, do your jobs rather than just taking Karl Rove's transparent concern trolling as serious news. This election coverage is depressing and an insult to all American citizens.

Dear Mathew,

What do you mean he's not on anyone's payroll this year. The man headed an office to re-elect George W. Bush with everyone's tax dollars (Democrats included) WHILE at the White House. How brazen is that?

No, we should never take Karl's advice. He's the scum of the earth and should be under a jail.

Someone please tell Mr Rove he can keep his advice to himself.

While I think Rove is a lying, cheating ... you get the idea, he actually has a point.

With Sarah Palin brought into the race, there has been a shift in attention from Obama and his policies to Sarah Palin (not even to McCain). She has drawn more publicity, and that is helping the Republicans and hurting the Democrats. Obama should be focusing on his issues and dealing only with McCain. That's how he'll get back his momentum and win. Leave a surrogate to deal with Palin – I recommend H. Clinton, so that the Republicans can't claim it was a sexist attack.

But Obama, you need to focus on YOUR message. It works.

OMG! It must be the end of the world because it looks like someone let the devil out for his 1000 years.

why is this even a story?? I thought both parties would refrain from name calling and bitterness today and shame on CNN for posting it today..I think all the bloggers could have went without a story for just today or at least post something positive.....CNN knows drama and idk what else!!

McCain/Palin/Bush all oppose the Constitutional role for the Federal Goverment to "Promote the General Welfare" of its people.
McCain/Palin/Bush oppose Federal Aid to Education.
This Unholy Trinity oppose negot iating World Trade Agreements that protect American workers from having our manufacturing jobs carted overseas.
Sarah Palin sounds like the reincarnation of a female Dick Cheney. She, too, accepts huge checks from Big Oil, and at the same time campaigns hard for off-shore drilling and drilling in the ANWR.
She, too, has wrongly used her power to persecute anyone who for any reason falls from her favor. We don't need another such Power Broker operating from the relative anonymity of he Vice President's Office.

Why would Obama take advice from you, when you are actually schooling Palin? Although, your advice is sound and correct, Democrats know to steer clear of anything you say or do. Just ask Valerie Plame and hubby.

Obama is grasping for anything he can get,because his Platform is evaporating,and will be almost irrelevant by Nov.

All Dems should stop being intellectual and just start mocking the crepe out of every Repulican that appears on "The Political Ticker". It's the best thing Liberals can do.

i love the architect! smarter than all the hacks posting to this message board.

McCain has changed, but he is going to bring any changes to this country. McCain/Palin are not bring us any future; Obama/Biden will bring us a great future for our country for our children!!!

Woman for Obama!!!!

Brilliant Rove! Well done. No wonder thay call you the Master Mind. You write an article about giving advice to Obama about not attacking Palin...When in fact he hasn't been attacking Palin...Brilliant.

Next I suppose you're going to write another advice column...telling Obama not to be a sexist...When he's not being a sexist!

Here's some advice. Get a good lawyer, because soon or later they are coming after you! Last but not least...Don't drop the soap!

The only reason the Repulbicans continue to make these outlandish statements is as a way to distract from discussing the real issues facing this country. The media are feeding right into it. If discussion occurs about the economy, the war, and where this country is headed, the Repulicans know they are in trouble.

If the McCain campaign continues to prevent the media from asking Sarah Palin any questions, I think the media should refuse to put anything about her on TV. If she can't answer questions that the public need to know the answers to, how can she possibly be considered a serious candidate for VP. Think people!

Karl Rove is a mastermind for the mccain ticket but he can only master the minds of the stupid. How can a person be called tough as a pitbull and yet she can not answer any questions on her own. People get real no one has to spell this out to you . This woman is not qualified and was only chosen because mccain wanted the hillary voters.

Wow ..... smart man ....... wants dems to attack Palin . Says its a bad idea and he's right but as usual the dems will think opposite and attack her .

Who cares about Karl Rove. The lying Red neck need to be in prison with Bush, Cheney,and Rumsfeld. The liars have made up all this terrriost crap for the American people to be fool. I'am so sick of this 9-11. Is this all the Republican got. 9-11,and John McCain being a POW. This crap is so overated. Tell Bush to send his children to Iraq. Tell Cheney to send his kids, Tell Rove to send his. Anybody can be a bully. Karl Rove need to be under the jail. If these guy were Black they would be under jail. What is taking so long for the American people to stop been fool about this 9-11 crap,and John McCain as a POW. McCain is stupid just like George Bush. If he get the White Houes we can tell where this country is going. STRAIGHT TO HELL, BUSH HAVE GOT US CLOSE TO THERE,AND MCCAIN WILL PUT US THERE

Why give this man any 'airtime'? He should be in jail, he's in contempt of a congressional subpoena and yet people run his 'political advice' and have him on their news programs as a political adviser... please stop placating this man by giving him any credibility or airtime.

Would you please close your trap Mr. Rove? You are the "architect" (no offense to architects) of this nation's suffering. You look and sound too much like Rush Limbaugh. Palin is running for president. McCain is nothing without her. Time to unleash the hounds of hell. Palin/McCain is a hate and lie ticket. May it perish.

Obama would be wise to take that advice, no matter that it came from Mr. Rove, it is still good advice. If any of Obama's followers gave the same advice, they would show signs of progress. But, Obama's followers don't know any better. All they know is how to sling mud.

Sarah Palin was definitely not a good choice for McCain and it is sad that judgement on this one was very poor.
He woudl have stood a better chance choosing someone else. She definitely a turn off and has turned my mind form John McCain.
I don't want to a pitbull in the white house I want to someone who can reach accross party lines and resolve the issues that are hurting our country. Very disappointed with the choice and I am a woman.
Another problem I have with Sarah Palin is that, being a mother with a child with special needs she should not have taken up the position of VP. What time is she going to have to spend with that child? Or is it that it is not hers? I cannot imagine a mother not wanting to be around her child with such needs. She certainly does not act like a mother who is concerned about her little boy.
A mother is suppose to be a nurturing person not a pitbull.
Very disappointed and McCain has lost a vote.

Rove: who are you working for?

If she can not stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! It's fair game! If she can not handle the dirt being thrown back her way, she should not dish it out! This is an equal opportunity employment!

love him or hate him, CARL ROVE IS RIGHT!!!!!! i personally hate him, but want obama to win. wake up obama, and get your groove back before it's too late

Democrats.
Why are your comments so seething & full of anger and hate? I guess you're all just representing what your party truly stands for...a bunch of complaining yet not producing any change yourselves. You've had majority in the house & senate now since, what, 2006? Yet your new Democratic dominant Congress has the lowest approval ratings in history (what is it, 9% approval right now, or is that how much you've accomplished?)

Rove is right on this one... all of your questions about Palin's lack of experience for the VICE pres job, are exactly what the rest of us are questioning about your PRESIDENTIAL nominee - experience??

Get over it. You all are a bunch of whiners.

BTW, Rudy NYC, Rove isn't making these comments on a day when a truce was called, his comments were in an article printed in the Wall Street Journal! Take it up with the WSJ if you don't like it.

Truth hurts doesn't it Dems?

McCain/Palin 2008

While Rove bloviates, his past strategies are once again in full bloom. According to the MI messenger, Republicans in at least one county plan to challenge the votes of everybody whose name shows up on home foreclosure lists. It's sickening beyond belief - "sorry we took your home. Let's take your vote as well." Where is the national coverage of this scandal?

Obama has been attacking Palin? I must've missed it! Way to help Rove spread more disinformation, CNN.

Dont Rove and Limbaugh look like brothers.Rush just said he prays to Jesus everyday,guess he doesnt know he is seen as a Liberal.

people like pin head karl rove have lost their relevance we all see the advice he gave bubble head bush where it landed us so obama should keep quite and let inexperienced,bridge to nowhere and troopergate palin attack him without hitting back

Keep atttacking her Barry, that really seems to be working for ya.

The same thing could be said for Palin that is said for Obama, it doesn't matter that he's inexperienced because he can align himself with people that do have the experience, therefore we should vote for him. Palin will learn alot as VP and should she have to "be in charge", well I'm sure she would do exactely what Obama's doing, getting advice on the serious issues from people who have experience. Obama needs to be careful making statements about someone else making stuff up or changing their minds or actions just to get elected, thanks to the media every word he has said ,we have heard, we know how he has backtracked on some of his issues.

Peggy Noonan was right. Palin as VP is BS and a gimmick. To distract us from the fact that McCain is offering 4 more years of Bush policies. Meanwhile, they are USING Palin. Do you think they will stand by her when they don't need her anymore?? The fact that all these conservatives are champions of feminism now is an even bigger joke.

It's nice to see the uplifting comments by the peace-loving, issue-oriented equal opportunity lefites on this discussion board.

Only one or two posts that I've read so far objectively analyze the story as it is presented.

Most are just repeating the same derogatory comments heard in the Democratic talking points or made by Keith Olbermann, only with even more cynicism and vulgarity.

Had Obama used his great judgment, he would have chosen Hillary as a running mate, not the 4th place finisher in the primaries. Had he done that, the numbers for the Democrats would have been overwhelming and Sarah Palin probably wouldn't be the VP pick.

But, if he had chosen Hillary, McCain would have probably gone with Lieberman ... game, set, match!

Over the last couple of days, I've also been hearing so much static from the separation of church and state crowd that "Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."

Thanks for the Bible lesson.

A woman gets selected as the VP candidate and the party that claims to champion women's rights and equal treatment feel an insatiable need to destroy her.

The politics of personal destruction rears its ugly head again.

Have a great day and please learn to spell and type.

Karl Rove is a piece of slime, that should have served at least two prison sentences by now. How anyone can employ him and call themselves Christian is beyond me.

Why does the Wall Street Journal still give Mr. Rove a place to voice his unsolicited opinion??

Sin is really ugly! Rove is pathetic in everyway! Obama has not been attacking Palin! What a joke! Palin has been the bull dog in this fight because she can hide behind sexism!

Is there anyone who is making a comparison between which administration was the most corrupt, Nixon's or George Bush's?

That would be good to know. I guess they have to wait until that idiot GW leaves office.

I rarely agree with Rove but I believe he is right. I hope Obama gets back on track.

I'm ready for some inspiration. Town hall meetings are good for McCain. Obama shines with big crowds. How about another send off because Demos lost momentum after the Convention. Let's have another big rally in a big stadium with Obama, Biden, the Clintons, Gore, Kerry, maybe even Kennedy and Oprah. The focus would be "Real Change – Ending the Bush/McCain Era"

Let's get creative. Get back on message, Remind people that the GOP always stoops to low levels to win. That's not change we need!

McCain has always used women to hide behind and get his allowance from. Wow what a "maverick". Sarah is his shield from discussing the real issues and Cindy gives him money. He's a kept man. What a wuss!
Karl Rove works for McCain so what part of "the same" aren't you righties getting? I believe McCain used the same lipstick remark in regards to Hillary's health care plan. They are discussing lipstick while Rome burns!

Shut up, Rove!

Pretty apparant isn't it, Paper thin resume, how funny. Pretty much sums it up.

sen. obama fails to mention that he twice voted for the funds, for the bridge to nowhere. wonder why he would do that? certainly not to mislead anybody

it is ridiculous and sad that our society has gotten to this point when we can allow some woman, whose only qualifications are her tight skirts and references to being a hockey mom, run for vice president.
McCain is clearly using this lady for his political advantage, and Palin almost seems to dum to realize this. what is a 'hockey mom, anyway? who came up with that line? This is the USA where people watch MLB, NFL, and NBA. since this is the case being a hockey mom wont cut it. even if McCain were elected his age is such that having this person as the potential next president of the USA would be disasterous. unfortunately the combination of republican greed and the color of obama's skin may make all this come true.

What is this old dude talking about? I follow the news very closely and I don't recall Obama attacking Palin...........what the hey?

And just why is it that the media (including CNN) sees Karl Rove as a credible political analyst?? The man is sleazy to the core – completely lacking in integrity – discredited by the vast majority of voting Americans.
Who listens to him??? Same folks who listen to Rush L and Ann Coulter.
I'd be amazed that he even has a column in the WSJ, but oh yeah!! Didn't Rupert Murdoch just buy that once illustrious publication?
Please, CNN – don't insult us further by continuing to give this guy the time of day...Puh-leeze....

Nobody asked you Carl....Go back under the rock you crawled out from....

I would say prior to the current spate of irrelevant attacks on Obama, I was someone who saw McCain as a possible choice, now I see someone who wants to win more than anything. I see someone who doesn't care about issues of global warming, fixing our economy, leaving us secure if he should not survive. His judgement has been overtaken by Karl Rove and his subordinates. We've already had 8 years of someone who listens to the voices that have brought us all down into the mud. Sorry, I'm no longer buying the Maverick. Too much Brittany and Paris, Palin and lipstick. I'm sick of it. I'm voting for Obama.

Rove is smart..... Obama is attacking the wrong oppenent this is where Biden should attack Palin with FACTS!!!! This is where someone like Hillary would of been excellent because she could fight back.

Obama will lose if he continues down this path......He looks weak and way off message. DEMOCRATS WAKE UP,,,,, or you will have another 2004.

WELL MR ROVE IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE, I SUGGEST YOU GIVE IT TO MS PALIN TO STOP FORCE LIES AND ATTACKS ON BARRACK BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BACK ON HER.
THIS IS HOW IT GOES, OBAMA VS MACCAIN
BAIDEN VS PALIN IF PALIN THIS IS EASY TO ATTACK BARRACK , THEN I AM SORRY SHE IS MAKING A BIGGEST MISTAKE

VA

Of course, this is Karl Rove. He's just using the same tactics: first, lie about the situation, then lie again and again. He knows that most Americans aren't political junkies; all they will hear is "Obama should stop attacking Palin" - that's what he's trying to convince average Americans. He's getting into their minds subliminally by lying: give advice to Obama to stop doing something that Obama isn't doing.

What I want to know is: Where are Obama's surrogates in all of this? What the heck is wrong with Biden? Why are the Democrats putting Obama on an island and leaving him at the mercy of the entire Republican attack wing? The only Democrat who tries to help is Rendell, and even he gave a compliment to Palin. TAKE OFF THE GLOVES, FOLKS, this is a championship fight. Start acting like you want to win!

I really dont think he should be opening his mouth, one on September 11th and second about a democratic candidate. This just shows how the republicans use 9/11 to scare up votes and put it as a trademark.

Rove for Prison '08!

Regardless of what people may think of Rove's tactics, the man is a genius when it comes to elections and got Bush elected...twice. He's not on anyone's payroll this year, maybe Obama should listen.

What happened to our issues? Karl Rove advice? That's what made this country's politics go down in the past with his advice to Bush.

What happened to our issues? I want to hear discussions around issues, no more of these personality attacks, gossips, etc.

Yesterday, I saw two refreshing videos, one is from Michelle Obama, advocating for working mothers and how tough it is for us these days. We can not take days off to take care of kids or aging parents, and that was right on. I want to hear more from her. She is like Hillary Clinton, very smart and caring.

Another one is from Ron Paul and Ralph Nader, about why they are trying to run.If they could really bring this charade back to 1) economy, 2) foreign issues, 3) environment / energy, etc....

But Karl Rove, no value add to sway this race.

Mccain has used that lipstick on a pig line about 7 times this campaign season! wow, now who's sexist?

But her attacking Obama makes sense?

I think the Republicans believe that they have a girl on the team and she is allowed to hit him, but he is wrong to hit her back. NO!! If she wants to play in the bigs, then she is going to have to play by the rules. No special rules just for her.

'Nuff said.

They just found a letter from Zwahiri to operatives in Iraq complaining about their "ineffective and dishonest propaganda" techniques (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/09/11/alqaeda.letters/index.html).

Funny...al Qaeda is one step ahead of the Republicans in self-reflection too.

Probably good advice, a Harvard grad doesn't have the experience to challange a mother of five.

Anonymous September 10th, 2008 10:54 am ET….most comments are for the REPUBLICIAN candidate……Don’t BE fooled by these bloggers, who are really repubs getting PAID…McCain daughter Meghan's present for finishing at Columbia University was a $700,000 loft in a hip section of downtown Phoenix, whose only job at moment seems to be blogging on her father's behalf….PAID FOR BY CASH….More TRICK OF TRADE to FOOL the American VOTERS…….

Through this ENTIRE election I have never seen McCain WHINE for his million dollar BARBIE doll LIKE he is WHINE for the Pit bull....hum.....

Karl Rove needs to be in jail! He and his cronies have caused this nation undo hardship. Why does America continue to fall for his election tactics? This is just another part of Idiocracy come to fruition.

This is typical of Karl Rove. He's the spin meister from hell. He's also a criminal. This is a man who should be serving time in jail. Yet he continues to mastermind the politcal strategy of the Rebublican party. Hasn't he done enough damage to the integrity of our nation already?

Obama has not attacked Sarah Palin. John McCain used this very phrase to refer to Hillary Clinton's policy's on atleast four occasions. There are video clips to prove it. This incident is what's referred to in psycological terms as "projection". Except that in Rove's case it's more likely intentional.

I agree that a poll should be taken reflecting his popularity. Although I think he's weaseled his way back into favor with a lot the Rebublicans. Bush is the ultimate bad guy at present while Rove still roves behind the scenes, sewing duplicity whenever he opens his mouth.

This is amazing. He is trying to present himself as this unbiased columnist. He continues to be a player behind the scenes for the republican Party and the McCain campaign. He is also the same man who 1-2 months ago said Gov. Kaine of Virginia was to inexperienced becasue he had been mayor of a small city (Richmond population 200,000) and Governor for a short period of time (2 years). He has been quoted as saying Gov. Palin is qualified because of her experience as mayor (Wasilla population 7,000) and her tenure as Gorvernor (2 years). Need I say any more!

The Hill reports that Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman is considering legislation that would prevent future administrations from having Karl-Rove type advisors:

Huffington Post / July 7, 2008

CNN... why are you even giving attention to Rove ? This is just ridiculous!!

We can all agree that Washington has really screwed the pooch.

Electing someone whose spent 26 of the last 34 years of Republican control we can certainly rule out McCain.

He's old and has no clue about the issues today. He's still fighting on behalf of the same issues we've been talking about for 40 years and meanwhile we're losing ground with China and the rest of the world. He seems content on starting more wars that got us in the economic jam we're in now. It's more of the same.

Seems to me that the Republicans are at times still fighting the civil war. They seem obsessed with talking about race, sex, morals, and history – they have taken their eye off the ball.

Obama just getting back what he dished out. After doing what he did to Hillary Clinton my vote will be for John McCain like the rest of the women . Obama is too arrogant. Ohio please vote for McCain.

If we Democrats lose this election in November, Shame On Us!!!!!!!!!!

This is outrageous, coming from someone who as disrespected this country by being aided to be above the law!!!! Serving and contesting for an election is no more honorable, about the truth and the concerns of the majority of the American, it as to be lie your way through it, create deception and divisiveness, bully people and show how much dirt you can throw. I guess other countries must be asking themselves, is this the same DEMOCRACY we want to enforce them to follow?It is a shame.

I thought election was about who has the best ideas, goal and is ready to lead the country to a better future, but it seems to me that the voice of the good people of this country has been so silenced that they can't even stand up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, do not reduce our country to a personality contest. Well, in a country where the American Idol contest is more popular and spoken about than what affect the lives of ordinary people in this country and around the world, no wonder that why people are taking advantage off.

I thought McCain prefered the Small-towns-Rural-Area debates style, but now he is a celebrity, and the celebrity format of large crowd is now what he needs. People wake up, that is how he is going to dump you once he gets what he needs. Haven't they dumped you enough, well, probably not yet enough.

Hey Rove, just pray that McCain wins in November, otherwise, I know that the American public can't wait for you to anwser all the questions and lies that you and your party as put us through in the past 8 years. And to inform you, keep pouring out your stupidity,deceit and deception, remember that the only constant thing that rules is TRUTH.

With the fooolishness of those that are been lied to, I can tell you that other countries are looking at us and laughing:

China, will say, they have not learned from the mistake, let us get them more into debt, distract them and subdue the little countries to gain country.
India is saying, lets give the best education to our own as they get divided more on who should privatize or not.
South American countries are in waiting to take as many jobs as possible, you only need to tell them lies, because if you tell them the truth and even show them the result of lies, they don't care they prefer to whine.

The world and countries that lobby us are sure watching and waiting to see the next best trick of lies to tell us, so that they can take more jobs, give more grief to those who will lose morethan ever had.

Rove, wish you the best after November, because one thing will sure happen, you either will get through this world and congress that has not held you accountable, but you sure will be answerable to the greater One that gave you an opportunity to serve, but misused the power.

Thanks CNN for accepting my comment, or this truth is also to hard for you to swallow. As many that can speak the truth more, the better it will be for the country.

Does any intelligent , educated person out there really give a "hoot" about what Matt Damon or any of the rest of the "Hollywood celebrities" think politically? What could they seriously know about protecting and running this great country. Most of them, and I said "most", do not derserve to live here anyway. All they ever talk about is how bad of a place it is...well, they certainly would not be where they are now if they resided in any other country. Jane Fonda should never have been allowed back into this country ever! I say if they think this country is so bad, why don't they GET OUT!

Rove needs to get his facts straight and if CNN was doing their job, they'd have skipped this article because it is factually inaccurate. Barack Obama has not attacked Palin.

I heard my own radio station 710KIRO in Seattle actually say to their listeners that if they want to learn more about the candidates, then they should look up the candidates websites and go to congressional reports, etc. Pardon me, but while I don't mind doing extra research to make sure I'm comfortable with my vote, my job is a funding coordinator at a leasing company. Their job is to report factual news. They've won some Edward R. Murrow Awards, but I think, with that statement, they – and any news agency that feels the same way – should return them and accept no more. Edward R. Murrow turned over in his grave when he heard that.

To Freedom Lovin Patriot....

YOU SAID IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Country First. McCain has 26 Years of Senator experience with military background. Obama has none.

The fact that Palin and MCain have so many Bush advisors orchestrating every move and annnouncement on the Republican pause, should give most people pause. These are the same people who micromanaged Bush into office....twice...and where has that gotten us? They are doing the same thing again...forget about the issues, and just lie your way into office. I didn't fall for it with Bush, and will not with McCain. Do people not see a pattern here????? Do not be fooled again, have the past 8 years taught people nothing??

okay people. have you even considered that larl rove's advise may be an attempt to get obama to continue to smear palin? you know...reverse psychology?

Go away Rove...just please go away. And take Commander Bunnypants Bush with you

Karl Rove is a fine person to be giving advise. Yea – right!!
Thanks – but No Thanks.

The people that are so caught up with McCain/Palin need to look at the people in Alaska. They aren't happy with her. Wait tell her abuse of power charges are complete. Ask the Librarian what happened. Palin is power crazy. If you get in her way she will run you down.

McCain will need a big fork to Moose when this is over!!

We must turn the economy around, create jobs, bring our military home, turn the housing situation around and have affordable heatlh care for all. These are the issues – not how many fish they can catch, animals they can shoot, or people they can fire. McCain/Palin/Bush/Rove

Obama/Biden

THE REPUBLICANS GOT INTO OBAMAS HEAD.HE IS SCRAMBLING AND DEMS ARE ALL MESSED UP NOW. HA HA HA I LOVE IT. GO MCCAIN/PALIN

Pat, you must be one of those in the 5 million club that McCain considers wealthy. Do you know how many houses you have?

-IF YOU'RE BRAVE CNN, YOU'LL POST THIS--

Stop the MC-CANE "BIRTH OF A NATION" CAMPAIGN RUN BY CARL ROVE.

GET INFORMATION ON THE MOVIE AT GOOGLE OR WIKIPEDIA

Mr. Karl Rove, you are the dumest person I have ever see, Obama did not attack Mrs. Palin, the expression "Pig with lipstick is still a pig' is not an attack on Palin. That Expression has been used more than four time by McCain, today you want to used it against Obama. You Republicans, just don't get it. You will loose in November. It is just a matter of time and Americans will discover your dirty politics.

Obama/Biden '08-'12

I hate to say I told you so Dems – but . . . at the very least it should have been a Clinton/Obama ticket and then Obama could debate Ms. Alaska beauty queen all he wants, but that's not the case and he needs to attack McCain and now!!!!!

Who in the world would listen to one of the biggest crooks of our time. Obama hasn't attacked Palin and if he's referring to the lipstick topic, he must not be watching the news programs. McCain has used the line many times in the past but when the democrats use the same line, they're sexist.

As an older white woman, I am appalled by the Republican tactics and their campaigning. I can't believe that the majority of Americans are better off than they were 8 years ago......only the wealthy are better off and that is not the majority! WAKE UP PEOPLE.... if you really are worse off now than you were, just think where you'll be in another 4 years if you elect McCain.

In the most important election in the history of our country, people are voting based on gender and name recognition rather than on issues. I challenge any Republican to tell me McCains plan on economy, global warming, health care, etc.

is it just me, or isnt obama a liar

Seems that ever since the 30th of August our sweet brothern at the democratic party have had a pig dressed up like Palin on their web site. Complete with brown wig, pearls, make up, and a suit that looks remarkably like the one she was wearing last wed. Of course obama will squirm, and um ahh, say he knew nothing but frankly i’m sick and tired of him and his excuse. What is he going to throw the entire party under the bus? Let’s cook obama’s bacon while the fire’s still hot.

karl rove is a pig, just like the rest of his buddies... he should keep his mouth shut!!!! hopefully he will go to jail with bush and cheney.. but then who would talk on fox news???? he should be the last one to give OBAMA advice, maybe he should take some advice and ZIP IT !!!!!!

I am not a Rove fan but he may be on to somthing here. Obama should focus on MCcain and leave the #2 to be battled with Biden. I think Biden can handle her.

I wouldn't believe anything this guy Rove says. Gee, do ya think he might try and sabotage the Obama campaign?
Pat... dont' think that Mccain or Palin are evil. However, I do think that many of the hacks they surround themselves are mean spirited, dishonest and dishonorable...and neither Mccain or Pain is doing or saying anything to stop it.
I don't know anything about Palin, butwould have thought Mccain would be above this stuff
Obama is as qualified as Mccain. And...he's a whole lot younger and healthier.

I am tired of hearing about ROVE OR PALIN.
Let's hear about issues. I am going to ignore reading any article about PALIN from now on.

Never underestimate the stupidity of Tony! Palin is with McCain because she brings the crowds. Obama is toast so we can expect another 8 years of wailing and gnashing of teeth from Tony and friends.

Don't you love it when Karl Rove talks about Obama's lack of "Executive Experience" and "pencil thin resume"? Who ever had more "Executive Experience" and thick resumes than Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld? Let people judge where that got us.

Uncle Karl to explain what to do is all we need!

Why doesn't he go to Hollywood? He would do amazing scripts over there!

Just knowing that people will fall for Karl Rove's rhetoric is enough to drive a man insane.

P.S. – If you are bashing Republicans and their acquaintances, it might lend you more credibility if you spell correctly and make better grammar choices.

Educators for Obama/Biden '08

The pure fact that the man who has been subpoenaed for contempt of Congress (Karl Rove) is not in prison right now is a huge part of this mess right now. This toxic creep is continuing to infect our political system and he has the gall to give Obama advice. Obama should give Karl Rove some advice and tell him to jump off a cliff.

O B A M A ::::::I ---D I D--–I T----M Y---–W A Y...............

Isnt it a great country?

everyone knows it but the better judgment candidate – yet the tide has changed and its time that America gets a true leader in John McCain & Sarah Palin.

Rove you're running the campaign of the now dishonorable and pathetic McShame...you chubby old liar you.....

Have to agree with Rove; the prize is McCain not Palin

Keep the eyes on McCain.

The rest of us can drive poor Palin crazy.

Like he needs advice from one of Fox News contributors. That's enough reason to say No Thanks.

Good point Aaron – Obama hasn't attacked. The media has (with good reason), and Palin tells them to stop picking on her. Just another backhanded way for Rove to imply Obama is doing something he isn't. Pathetic!

The only place this guy needs to be is in Jail. He's just trying to keep the Palin news going, the king of evil political schemes.

News Flash! Rove advises Obama: Quit!

CNN ought to try to be fair and balanced and get Dennis Kucinich's advice to McCain.

We can't afford McCain and The Pain. Oops – forgot the 'L'.

Rove is exactly right. Obama should consentrate on showing he can handle the job and not run down the republican VP. It makes him look like a loser and is too worried he is going to lose the McCain/Palin ticket.
Obama needs to work on being able to answer questions without a script in front of him. He doesn't appear to be someone that could make a quick decision if one is needed.

Palin's airport speech was an insight into the McCain/Palin energy policy.

Exploit Alaskas fossil fuel resources, period!

What about renewable energy, what has the state of Alaska invested on this during the Palin administration?

Rove is right, but what is puzzling is that these tactical words of advice
have to come from the opposition. Of course, if Obama continues to dwell on Palin and her coined use of the word "lipstick," what can we say???

is running a campaign executive experience?

Why isn't he in jail yet? I've yet to hear Obama say anything about Palin so what is he talking about and why is this news?

Obama never attacked Sara, so what is Rove talking about. This guy always want to make himself relevant. If Karl Rove want to be relevant, then he should talk to Sean Hannity to stop by racist, unchristian, divisive, and stop spewing hatred in the name of free speech

DUH!!! Like he doesn't already know that Palin is insignificant.

McCain will win this election!!! McCain has 26 years as a senator and Obama has only 4.

On my way into work this morning I listened to the names being read at Ground Zero on POTUS 08 and found myself silently crying over the loss of so many loved ones.

And then? I got angry that Bush and Cheney and the NeoCons used this horrible event as a LIE to start a war that killed more Americans than died on 9/11 and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians.

Wake up people. The Republicans are lying to you.

You want to vote for McCain 'cause you think Palin is "exciting?" Please. Going over Niagra Falls in a barrel is exciting but do you think you'll actually survive?

The Republicans are using you and your ignorance to control you. They'll make money with their rich corporate buddies in oil and big business and you'll get poorer and even LESS educated which will make you even easier to control.

They'll continue to buy up every media outlet until you no longer hear the truth about any issue or about any politician. Books will be banned and free speech will be gone. Do you really want to live under Stalin??

What's it going to take for you to finally understand that THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU? You are simply a means to their end. Sadly, by then, it will be the end of America as we know it - the Constitution will be in shreds and YOU will be to blame because you had a choice to make it right.

Again, I beg of you to THINK. Listen with an open mind. YOU can make a difference but you have to be willing to not vote against your self interests.

Vote Democrat. Vote for Hope. Vote for the Freedom of your children and your grandchildren.

Alice in Florida,

Spare me your sob story about how *you* were so wronged in Florida by the DNC. Had your state just had their primary on a day that was not in violation of DNC rules, then maybe Hillary Clinton would be the nominee - or again, maybe not. We will never know.

If you vote for McCain this election, you might as well just register Republican because that is what you have become. Our electoral process is not about voting for someone out of spite - but apparently to you it is. So much so that you are willing to SELL OUT Hillary Clinton and everything she believes in to vote for a ticket that will try its best to reduce the gains that Hillary Clinton has made during her time in politics.

Yeah, you *really* love Hillary Clinton....*sigh*

An advice from the pig in this race. Even lipstick will not help.

its the evil emperor!! protect your heart Obama!!!!!!!!!!

The interesting part is that KR is quite possibly the only man in US politics with a worse reputation than Bush-Cheney. Which is to say, anytime he speaks or writes anything, it is a net gain for Barack Obama.

This was the guy, remember, who said, You're entitled to *your* numbers – I have *THE* numbers. Republicans hold on to both the Senate AND the House of Representatives.

The Supreme Court said the president (Nixon) could not withhold tapes of Oval Office discussions from Congress, yet KR believes he can refuse to even bother to *show up* for Congressional subpoenas? He thinks he has greater privilege than the President himself? Why isn't he in jail yet?

Ignore him. He has nothing reliable to contribute to any legitimate discussion.

KARL ROVE AND DICK MORRIS ARE TRUE ENEMIES OF THIS COUNTRY! ROVE IS CRIMINAL AND DICK MORRIS IS A SEXIST TAX CHEAT. OBAMA/BIDEN SHOULD INVESTIGATE THEM AND LET THE WORLD KNOW THE TRUTH.

This man is very scary. He reminds me of the man that was on the last Potegist movie, the one that knocked on the door and the little girl open. He was dressed as in the 1800's and wanted the little girl to let him in. I wouldn't be surprise this man is seen as a leader to his fanatical creeps. Open your eyes americans because this man can lead us to destruction. Pray to God this man is put behind bars.

Kar Rove,you need to put this country first.Please Cnn don't let this man post anything useless.Just post Mccain no won in election.
Thank cnn for understanding

Rove, Crawl back into the woodwork. It is quite evident that you are helping the mccain slime machine so keep your comments to or about Obama to yourself.

It's hateful people like you that have proven to be a menace to this country and society.

Who cares about 'Rove's unsolicited advice'. This man – the one guilty of creating nasty ads, lies and worse on Democratic political candidates – the same one that says he doesn't have anything to do with McCain's campaign... I am so sick of the gutter people – also known as Republicans. It is okay for them to lie, cheat and steal us blind – but, we better not address that in campaigns??? I sure hope there are more people in America sick of these Republican tactics!
But, frankly, I am afraid that the Republican tactics (or stealing another state in false election data) will only encourage the 50+ million idiots that voting in '04... God help us if McCain/Palin gets into the White House. For sure we will be in a Depression and more wars because McCain wants to 'bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran'.

Love or hate Karl Rove, you cannot call him dumb. He is a political genius that got W elected twice. Anyone that can do that is incredibly intelligent. One other thing. When you call someone else stupid make sure you can spell.

So much for the 9-11 Truce. Sneaky attack Karl.

Agreed, ignore her and make her impact mean nothing.

No reason to go after her, McCain needs her to firm up his own weakness. If we make this a culture war then Palin has the advantage, if you make this about the issues, then Obama has it all over McCain. So make it about the issues with McCain. That is what we should be focusing on anyway. If the Republicans were going to do anything about abortion or gun control, or any of those other issues, they would have done it by now.

Karl Rove is irrelevant.

People put credit him with having way too much "power and influence" than he actually does in reality.

He may be good at crafting distractions and campaigns based on non-issues and lies, but the man is totally irrelevant in this election. He's not running for office so why waste valuable media space on stories about him and his opinion?

CNN, why aren't you hammering McCain and Palin for avoiding talking about the real issues facing our country? Why aren't your correspondents and anchors hammering McCain and Palin for not giving straight answers about what they plan on doing about the rotten economy, the failing housing market, and the loss of jobs in this country?

Who in the media is going to champion these questions for the American people?

I don't even know who to respond to Karl Rove.

Because of him he turned my former, Governor George W Bush into what he is today.

So sad.

Instead of hating him, Americans, we ought to pray for him.

WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Rove, today's about 9/11 commemoration. Can you STFU plz?

It's funny how predictable the lefties are with their comments anytime Rove is named in a story.

Baaa baaa left sheep.

Enough is Enough!!!!!

It's over for Obama. He is running scared and acting like the inexperienced, immature, unqualified candidate that he has always been. And the media is running scared too: apparently the only person in this race is Palin, if you read the headlines, watch the television coverage. it's only about her, in a decidedly negative manner. CNN, your boast of "no bias, no bull" is a lie, and is hilarious. Only when one is flat out guilty will they go to the extent you have gone to try convincing people you are innocent. No Bias, No Bull? Really? You, CNN, are joke!
And Obama-bots, your about to lose what you all thought what your inevitable coronation. Funny how things work, isn't it!

Actually, from the way John McCain has let Palin take the stage for the last few weeks, it appears that Obama IS running against Palin. And Palin still has not answered for her bad decisions while Alaska's governor (including the millions of dollars in earmarks and the money she kept for the "bridge to nowhere" that she approved and then refused), so it will most likely be left up to the Obama campaign to point out her myriad inconsistencies. Just remember – no fair calling the sex card when people start criticizing your so-called "reformer" past. Palin wanted to run with the boys, so she has to take her hits like a big girl and not whine about it.

Rove is the lowest common denominator. Who gives a _____ what he thinks? I'm sure Obama doesn't.

In December 1969, the man Rove had known as his father left the family, and divorced Rove's mother soon afterward; it later became known he was homosexual.[6][7] After his parents' divorce, Rove learned from his aunt and uncle that the man who had raised him was not his biological father; both he and his older brother Eric were the children of another man. Rove has expressed great love and admiration for his adoptive father and for "how selfless" his love had been.[8] In 1981 Rove's mother committed suicide in Reno, Nevada.[8]

Can someone please make him dissapear and the crooks that are just like him, see people like him give America a bad name.

Oh, how "clever." Do we really think Rove wants to help Obama get elected? This is a ploy to turn down the heat on an unqualifed VP pick. How stupid do they think we are?

Obama is no longer a celebrity on the political circuit – he has competition and he does not like it one bit- As a result, his campaign has stooped to dirty tricks – pathetic. His running mate, Joe Biden, comes out in NH and says that Obama may have made a mistake and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better pick for VP A new poll has come out and concluded that the combined ticket of McCain and Palin is more experienced than Obama – Biden. Now, if you take the VP's out of the mix, the experience level is off the charts for McCain. Americans and politicians alike trust McCain, and even the Dems acknowledge that McCain would be an honest and effective President who would bring change and a cooperative working spirit to DC - Let's go with a proven commodity that we can trust – Let's go with McCain – Palin. As for Obama - America is very quickly concluding that he is all talk with little substance – and even less experience. His clever tongue is beginning to trip him up

Looks like Rove can use a little lipstick.

Shouldn't Karl Rove be in jail? Why is he being given 15 more minutes of fame?

I think he is right, and his statement mean that he know how ignorent is America. Remember Al Gore, John Kerry , they were the first casuality of this Republican lie machine.

McCain has chosen Sara Palin not to help America but to help him win against Obama. That's why Sara Palin will not be allow to be alone and answering questions.

Obama has chosen Joe Biden to help him build America and Joe Biden himself was a candidate to be president.

Obama is a good and lovely inteligent man and the only way for McCain to win, is to make Obama look like a angry ugly crocodile.
To do that he need a chicken, This is were Sara Palin come in.

Read between the line.

Ah yes, the man(?) who was looking to install the 100 year majority, the one who attempted to increase american neo-con economic power across the world with events like the Iraq war, etc., etc., etc. How'd all that work out for him?

thanks but no thanks karl..........you can take the bridge to where, to no where so that you can reflect the pain you have cause the american people by helping bush steal the last 2 elections

Careful Ralphie – you'll shoot your eye out.

Dear Pat,

If you vote for McCain, than you are voting for the 3rd term of Bush, and yes you are evil.

Rove is wrong. The sad truth is that successful American political races are and have always been primarily negative. The Democrats must come out swinging, attacking both McCain and his likely successor, Palin, with everything the've got, or the Democrats will lose this election. Flooding prime time with attack ads will increase their odds. Playing nice won't.

Rove, you are the one behind of all these dirty ideas.

CNN, please let all American know who Rove really is!

In mentioning the Unholy Trinity of Palin, McCain, and Bush's opposition to adequate Health Care for returning Veterans, I forgot to also mention the Palin/McCain/Busn opposition to Univerals Health Care for all Americans.

Puh-leeze, Karl, leave the poor nation alone with this kind of game playing. Think back to Lee Atwater's change of heart toward the end of his life, and start from there as you go forward in yours.

The Change choo choo is off the tracks.

Why isn't Mr. Potato Head in jail? I feel like it's 2004 all over again.

We're Independents and either way my family will be fine whoever wins the White House, better off if McCain wins, but we're voting for Obama. So it's up to middle America(again) to decide to live in poverty(McCain) or get back on their feet. (OBAMA)

Frankly, I am more inclined to support the Black Stallion and Joe Camel over Moody Maverick and Prickly Pig.

Me to Karl Rove:

Shut up.

I was watching the recent production of John Adams last night, and it sickens me to see how far we've gone down the wrong path thanks to the likes of Karl Rove. It's like the closing section of Animal Farm. Mr. Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington didn't fight and work so hard for this. Our brave men and women in uniform through the last 235 years didn't offer up their lives for this.

Karl you are destroying what so many brave people sought to build. You are a traitor to the greatest nation in the history of the world.

David

Karl Rove never misses a moment to send out his nonsense when we are supposed to be paying respects to others (i.e. 9/11, Hurricane Gustav, etc.).My thoughts & prayers go out to all of the families & friends affected by this tragic day.

Decency '08–Obama/Biden

“It's a match-up [Obama] will lose," Rove writes.

"Amateur Hour over at the Obama campaign," Carville says.

Obama was the wrong choice for so many reasons.

The leaders of the Democratic Party have failed us.

shouldn't this PIG be in jail!!

Barack is NOT atacking Sarah Palin.

How could he?

Just like the rest of us, Barack knows NOTHING about Sarah Palin!

Karl Rove's ugly mug on the screen should remind us how the worst president in U.S. history was re-elected.

Vote Smart!

Obama/Biden 08!

if obama could check his ego at the door, he should take rove's advice. if the puma movement didn't teach obama a lesson is sexism, nothing will. he picked the MAN with a few thousand votes for vp, instead of the WOMAN with over 18 million. the sexist dnc, and obama camp deserve to lose. mccain/palin 08, hillary 2012!

I am amaze that this guy is not serving life in prison.

Hey,
It's 9/11- Were still at War, give it a break! Say a Prayer for our Troops..

Okay, Karl, i guess since you no longer matter, you have to try and get attention. I look at people like you who has never got but can sit back and tell others what they should LOOK IN THE MIRROR, people like Karl Roves are the biggest LIARS and biggest CRIMINALS,. Your opinions means nothing, get a real job and learn how to be a decent human being.

Please CNN, don't post any article on Karl Rove until you have a picture of him in an orange or striped prison jump suit.

This man needs to be in PRISON!

Karl, your day is coming........watch out.

it just amazes me how Rove and others tell out and out lies and the media never calls them on it.soon as it s raised, they start talking over the commentator and never be made to answer to the lies.this has relly open my eyes to WHITE AMERICA

Crawl back into the gutter you came from, Karl.

Hasn't Rove gone extinct yet?

I'm not going to reward George Bush and his administration by voting for another 4 years of the same.

I enjoyed the Clinton years WAY better, therefore, I will reward Bill Clinton and his endorsement for Obama with my vote

By the way, I do agree with Obama on the "issues" too.

I would love to see this slimy morally bankrupt sleaze-monger "questioned" about all his various and sundry activities UNDER OATH, and not be protected by the GOPs "cone of unaccountability".

I'd even pay to see him undergo "enhanced interrogation" of the watery kind.

Stop the MC-CANE "BIRTH OF A NATION" CAMPAIGN RUN BY CARL ROVE.

GET INFORMATION ON THE MOVIE AT GOOGLE OR WIKIPEDIA

What is the mother of all nightmares.... Palin as President.

When will America learn. I heard on the readio y'day a Republican supporter comparing Palin to the likes of Reagan, Roosevelt etc. Are they really so stupid? You will send a Hockey Mom to represent your country to the world?

You can send a white hockey mom to the white house but you wont let a Black man be president.

The supporters of Obama need to spend less time on these forums and garner support on the streets, Florida is 55-43 McCain... oh what a pain!

Karl

Take the exec. privliage and dont speak please!

I'm reading a lot of people calling Rove dumb....he's not dumb, just EVIL.

Well it seems pretty sound advice since your candidate has been steadly losing ground in 2 weeks. I dont know which has fallen faster, the Price of Oil or Obama in the polls.

Didn't Rove go extinct yet?

Folks, it's up to us to find the truth, through independent, non-partisan resources like factcheck. MSM all have a spin these days no matter how much they deny it – they're just like any business trying to cater to a certain niche of America.

Sadly, you can turn on a light and turn a person toward the light, but you can't make them open their eyes to see the light. Some people will forever argue there is no sun matter how many people try to take off their blinders.

Obama/Biden

By the way – nice picture – Rove needed to clean his nose before posing.

Why does anyone listen to Rove?

To Tony (first post):

It appears that you type a single sentence related to the article at hand and then simply paste all of the rest of your non-sense onto each of your posts. Do ya think you could at least correct all of the typos in what you're copying? Cripes.

RudyNYC: The article appeared in todays WSJ. I'm guessing he didn't write it this morning Sparky.

The Republican Party would be a lot better off without slimeballs like Rove. He and others like him have turned the Republican Party from an honorable party that was the party of great presidents like Abraham Lincoln into a bunch of lying, self-serving, money-grubbing weasels. I was a Republican. I am one no longer. I am ashamed of what the Republican party has become.

The national polls are missing huge segments of the American population. The race is not nearly as close as the Republicans hope.
People are sick and tired of being taken advantage of by their own government. McCain will go to retirement, and Palin will go back to running her local PTA. It is the job she is truly suited for. VP? Yeah. Right.

Karl the lummox has spoken. I have no respect for this individual.

i just wish the best for America. Nobody LOVES us. We need to take good care of this country.

The fact of the matter is, the Republican Fighting Machine is battery-operated by the Democrats. Every now and then, this Machine must yield to the Democrats, so they can re-tool, re-engineered and re-fueld the battery, for more vicious battles ahead.

We are running a marathon. We're on Lap 3. We cannot afford to overheat and drop dead, because of greed and selfishness.

What good is it if you win 10 years of war? Burn yourself out and lose all other wars to defend your country. We're 200 years, old, we have 800 years to go.

It's selfish to not let the Democrats have this election. If you hate the Democrats, then dont use the Internet! Clinton, with his vision and guidance, jumpstart us to a new Age.

Both these political teams are fused together. One cannot survive without the other.

What a snake!

Tony...you said it all!!! Brilliant!!!

Besides, Obama wasn't attacking Palin... he was making a point that she talks against earmarks when she herself graciously received them for her city and state.

It's true..."You can't just make stuff up"... you'll always get caught in the lie. Her earmark reform claims have been shot down time and time again, but she still repeats her earlier comments because that's what's on her script-blowing in the wind on the podium, while she's trying to read it word for word.

Unfortunately, the people who are looking for an excuse to not support Obama (other than he being black) will latch onto anything...

Rove speaks the truth. ... of course he knows that by speaking this truth, Obama and the Dems won't listen to him. Which is what he wants. It's a cunning way to encourage Obama to keep helping the McCain Campaign by focusing on Palin. And most of the comments above this are responding exactly how Rove would want you to. Ever take a minute to wonder why the Republicans are on top in the polls right now? It's because you can't turn on CNN without hearing the word "Palin". You can't look at a magazine without seeing her face this week. Obama and the Liberal Media are highlighting the Republican ticket. This is the first week that Obama has not been flooding the news networks, magazines, newspapers, etc. Now the spotlight has moved to the Republican ticket.
So go ahead and don't listen to Rove. Myself and the other 47% of us voting for McCain sure don't mind the media attention.

Here, Barack, let me help. You keep to the big message, I will plug away at the little ones.

PALIN POINT: Sarah Palin, Republican nominee for vice president, attended Hawaii Pacific University, North Idaho College University of Idaho, Matanuska-Susitna College, and University of Idaho.

Result: BA in Journalism

No master's work, no doctorate, no political science, no law.

NO LAW.

How stupid does Senator Obama think we are? He brings up a budget of of a small town when Sarah Palin was Mayor and not the budget from when she was Governor. Also, how do you compare running a campaign to running a city or a state. I also thought that Obama had a campaign manager that was running his campaign. He really shouldn't take credit for what his campaign manager has done. Wow people really want this guy to be President.

The McCain campaign has given only the sketchiest policy proposals; it has spent most of its time trying to divert the national conversation away from matters of substance.

FACT: No single Republican president has ever delivered on the promise to shrink the federal government, but ignorant people buy into this every election cycle.

Obama said it in Denver ENOUGH! He also repeated it again yesterday in Virginia.

We need to support Obama in claiming our righteous OUTRAGE of what has happened to America since GOP took control of Congress 12 of last 14 years and what they have done with Bush in the last 6 of 8 years. Let’s all join Obama and tell them ENOUGH! Is ENOUGH! We do not only want our country back we are going to take it back from the jaws of mediocrity and incompetence. AND we do NOT have to apologize for telling the TRUTH.

Second the poster above who notes Rove's comments on the anniversary of one of the darkest days in American history. One could reasonably hope that all would abide by the example of the two candiates and refrain from "politics as usual" on 9/11, but, as usual,
Rove hasn't a clue.

I have no idea how old Karl Rove is but for the first time in his life, he has said something smart when he suggested to Senator Obama not attack Gov. Palin. I am an Obama supporter but on this matter, I agree with Rove. Obama needs to stay on message and win votes. He needs to let his surrogates take care of Palin. In fact from what I am seeing, she will take care of herself for him. People are beginning to tire of hearing the same old thing over and over from her. People are also beginning to see how McCain is using her as his extended mouthpiece to say the things he cannot say because of the damage it would do to his "Honorable Reputation". Senator Obama, listen to Karl Rove on this matter and get back on message.

Karl Rove giving advice to Democrats is like a fox giving advice to hens.

when did Obama "attack" Palin??? Am I missing something? so, he's just supposed to sit back and not respond to McCain's lies??? Rove is a moron and this political race is by far the least ethical of any I've ever witnessed. can you say SWIFTBOAT???

Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Karl Rove should be dropped off on a small deserted island.

Why would Obama take advice from a McCain advisor?

I'm so tired of hearing Repigs. saying McCain was a POW. NO BODY cares except the repugs. Being a POW in no way automaticly qualifies a person to be Pres. of the USA. Someone explain to me how living in a 4 X 6 cell for 5 years gives you the knowledge and experience to be a President of anything. If that is all it takes then we need to check out the State Prisons for a candidate. McCain has no judgement, look who he picked for a running mate, again no one with any real experience. Oh she claims 10 years of elected service, but I hardly believe anyone in their right mind would want a small time mayor of a town of 5000 people running this country. Even her own father did not think she was qualified to run as Governor of Alaska.

Poetic justice will eventually get him.

HEY DON'T GET MAD WITH CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, NBC, ABC,CBS AND ROVE IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SO BRAIN DEAD THAT THEY WILL FALL FOR EVERY LIE ROVE MCCAIN,PALIN THE MEDIA AND THE RNC PUT OUT THERE THEN IT'S ON THEM NOT THE MEDIA .LIKE I SAID OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE SAD WHEN HE LOSE IN NOV. I WON'T BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE THE LOSER AGAIN LIKE THEY WERE IN 2000 AND 2004. THEY WHAT TOO KEEP PUTTING PEOPLE IN OFFICE BECAUSE THEY LIKE THEM WELL THEY WILL GET WHAT THEY ARE GETTING NOW .

Rove giving Obama advice please. This is more of the Palin is qualified house of cards that the GOP is trying to sell. If she was qualified to lead this country or even sit in waiting what are they afraid of.> Why is she not answering questions on her own, taking interviews from the press or campaigning on her own? Because she's just not ready and they are afraid people will see that reality- not the reality they've spun.

Secondly, Rove coming out and saying attacking Palin is stupid appeals their supporters and suggests that Obama has been attacking Palin. That's the message he wants to send is "Obama is a bad guy because he's attacking Palin." This is very misleading. He's referred to her once. He's not attacking her but attacking the issues.

What Rove wants Obama to do is the exact opposite. He wants Obama to stay away from Palin. If people realize how inexperienced she is, how undereducated she is, or how unvetted she is this house of cards or illusion that they've created will disappear. Furthermore he wants the focus to be on Obama rather than Palin. They make a mistake in choosing her and they want to cover that up. Sure people are excited now, when the excitement wears off and reality sets in everyone will see the truth. Their hope is that there is too little time to really expose Palin, or for her to make a mistake.

Obama will win the experience argument hands down. He's been fully vetted and involved in national politics on a federal and legistative level for years now. People are comfortable with his experience and judgement or he would not be the democratic nominee. McCain has more experience but he's also a puppet to the GOP and special interests. He's fallen in line with them so he can win. He's not the same candidate he was. Palin was selected for her appeal, not experience, not judgement, not because she is ready to govern or advise the president. She was chosen because it was politically expedient.

Yeah, Obama should ignore the lies - the media will tell the truth for him, the way they did when Kerry was swift boated and Gore was accused of claiming to have invented the Internet.

Sorry, Karl, that dog won't hunt.

and he is credible to listen to why??? He is the one having them make mountains of mole hills to avoid issues at hand!!

I forgot one item. Sarah Palin, like McCain and Bush, opposes Universal Health Care. In the paragraphs above, I only referred to the unholy trio's opposition to Health Care for returning veterans.

why isn't Palin getting faced on by calling hockey moms pitt bulls?

Everybody is taking time to remember all the hurt that 9/11 brought unto all of us. Rembering that Bush and his administration could have done the right thing for this country. This smear master that talks and nobody cares what he says, he will get what he deserves, maybe not right this day but his day will come. I am sure he is a very unhappy person and if he is not now his day will come. The republicans give people no credit.

Imagine that – all the liberals on CNN bashing the GOP. I hope you enjoy your pathetic lives.

This man is a man who is always contradict himself? What a looser. Everyone knows what he said about veep picks. Why don't he goes away forever.

CNN actually posted this sort of devisive rhetoric on 9/11???

Judging from the thread here, you can see that i was right. For the sanity of the American people that you are watching out for. Please stop talking about Rove. He brings out the worst in everybody. Also i ask EVERYBODY TO GO AND RESEARCH WHO KARL ROVE is. When you do, you will understand that he needs our prayers and he should be pitied. You will understand why he is the sick and dysfuntional person that he is. His foundation is warped and i think it is too late to correct it

It's interesting to me to see alot of apparently Left Leaning Liberals, and I don't mean that in a demeaning way, who espouse to being fair, and for every man, equal treatment for all, say such hateful things. When did respect and decency become taboo? Don't all have the right to their opinion? Isn't everyone entitled to their life? That is what the Liberal side of the political spectrum preaches? Isn't?

Obama has NOT attacked Palin personally. Come on people.
You can attack a persons politics without attacking the person.
You can attack a persons experience without attacking the person.
Where's the "Pork" McCain? Where are the issues?
Why cant you keep your creepy hands off of her? Lecher!
I attack.
Adulterer!
Liar!
Sell out "songbird"!
War monger!
AK47 toting slaughterer of defenseless animals from the air!
Screeching, tongue speaking, brood sow!
Child abuser!
I attack.
News organizations pimping the GOP and a know nothing cheerleader for VP!

Karl Rove...the lowest of low. Crawl back under whatever rock you came from. Give advice to your party not ours.

Please post

From the looks of these comment seems to me we all agree about Karl and what kind a person he is, then why would McCain even have him around?

We keep blaming McCain but I feel it's bigger than him; it's the party making all the calls all the way to Sarah.

When I say the party I'm not talking about the people that blog, I believe they are truly behind what the party once stood for. It's the ones heading up the party that scary me.

CNN – Post this please.

Whether you like him or not, he's right. You cannot tell me it doesn't look weak when the Presidential candidate has got to outdo the opponents VP candidate. He better let Biden do it and focus on McCain. In the last few days, it's become really evident how inexperienced Obama is. I doubt Bill Clinton would be doing what Obama's doing. The Dems better shape up or prepare to be added to shameful list with Gore and Kerry.

Obama has NOT ATTACKED Ms Palin!!!

Karl Rove has tried to twist every statment made to seem like it is a sexest attack so they can HIDE McCain behind this woman's SKIRT..

He has to provide her with a scrip to read from and keep her away from the MEDEA to prevent the PEOPLE OF THE USA from learnig about what she really stands for.

Obama has tried to address the REAL ISSUES that need REAL ANSWERS but rather than give their ideas on the issues McCaim and Palin slip and slide on the stack of LIES.

Repeating lies does not make them true. It only shows that you are a fool and you thnk that the people of the United States are FOOLS TOO.

Karl Rove gives evil people a bad name. He makes Dick Cheney look good. Scary!

I forgot one item. Sarah Palin, like McCain and Bush, opposes Universal Health Care.

Why is this man Rove not in jail for conrtmept of Congress?

Obama has given Palin props more than he has attacked her. Palin is the pitbull with lipstick that has been lying to make attacks and lying about her own record. She cannot be trusted anymore than McCain can.

Carol,

What have you been smoking? Do you actually live in the States? I am sure McCaine will bring freedom to the special interests groups and oil companies. We unfortunately won't enjoy that freedom. FYI, we the People and the Constitution of the United States, guarantee your freedom, even the one to write stupidities.

Rove, keeps your naked-lies and advice to your republicans clients.

Obama never attack Palin only demanding answers about who she is just as is the case of a lot of Americans.

Your fraud and the republicans fraud will not work this time.

Rove and Republican cohorts are terrified. If Obama wins he could probe into the abuses of the last 8 years and there could (and should) be some indictments coming. Whether Obama would spend time this way is unlikely, there being so many problems left behind by these criminals and war mongers.

If I understand rove, questioning Palin's record is sexism. If you follow logic, then lying about Obama's record is racism. Stop with identity politics. she decided to run as vp therefore her record she be questioned. people have a right to know her stance on the issues. I thought she was a pitbull, so she can handle it. If not, then get out of the kitchen.

He has a point.

Hey Carol, how's the brainwashing treating you?

Well Obama will lost anyway. He has to try something.

Obama is almost done. Maybe try when he acoomplished something in congress. At that time he can say, I have a record of getting something done not just making promises.

McCain 08!

WHo are you working for,Rove?

I am no fan of Karl Rove but he is dead right. Obama does have a tissue-thin resume and he will lose going up against Sara Palin. He's already losing momentum - and might be losing the race altogether.

If Obama won't call Palin out on some of these things, it seems no one will! The media are staying away from her as if she is a beauty queen – or wait, was she? Regardless, she is probably the most inexperienced person to ever be on a ticket and everyone is just swept away instead of truly questioning her. She is a representation of McCain's political motivation which is NOT country first but win at all costs tactics. Let's all start talking about that that!!

I care about what Big Pop Karl thinks.

Here's some advice for Karl Rove: Keep your fat mouth shut. Him giving advice to a democrat is about as credible as Sarah Palin leading the most powerful country in the world.

Obama should reclaim the focus on the issues but Rove and Co. have masterfully, albeit deceptively, hijacked the stage by constantly keeping Palin in the spotlight. They say that Palin should not be the focus but then keep shoving her down everyone's throats. I agree with many of the comments here, Rove is a criminal and should be behind bars. He is the poster boy for the hypocrisy that the GOP is. They blatantly disregard the basic tenets of democracy and then claim to be the only ones to protect freedom. Is attempting to prevent people who have lost their homes to foreclosure from voting in the true spirti of democracy?

We have an election going on here too. We can vote on voting day so long as we show up with photo identification, proof of citizenship and a utility bill to prove we live in the riding - we don't have to go through some other "process" to be eligible to vote and therefore there is no way the powers that be can manipulate the actuall voting process to insure a preferred outcome. We also look a the party platform and not just the personality of the leader to select our government. We are not better but perhaps a little more respectful of the process of democracy as a collective electorate.

I actually wasn't defending Rove. I think he's a specimen.

I was pointing out the ridiculous-ness of the quotes saying he doesn't have an official role. Ah, well.

The election is highly entertaining. The hate by the "left" and the "right" is troubling and yet a bit comical. And, I'm not talking about the politicians. I'm talking about themany comments I read.

It's hard to believe that there are many people out there that actually think that only the "other"side is evil.

I'll vote for Mc Cain beacuse I think he is more qualified for the job.

Karl Rove should be in prison, not being quoted in the media.

It is a sad sign of desperation that Mr. Obama is now running against Sarah Palin and not John McCain. How small and insignificant Mr. Obama looks compared to Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin.

Clearly Karl Rove has no respect for this day of remembrance. Obama never attacked Palin, Mr. Rove. As he said earlier this week: "you can't just make things up."

Karl, noboday cares what you say anymore, and I frankly didn't care from the beginning!

Obama won't read this.

Priceless. Advice from a criminal.

It takes 2 to 3 people to take Obama down, that is how strong this man is!!

I thought Obama was referring to Rove when he was talking about a pig with lipstick. Isn't he wearing lipstick in this picture?
That's funny because he sure does look like a pig to me.
Why would people think Obama was talking about Palin?
Rove looks like a pig to me. Palin is attractive and slender.
Who knows? Rove might be a closet cross-dresser.

To any of Mr Obama's staff reading this blog.....
Ignore Karl Rove.. he has nothing positive to say for any democrat...
In the state of Virginia (which has turned Democratic)..... we are all waiting for Obama and Biden to fight back with a vengence.... you got to fight back harder !!!!! Trust me on this before it is tool later...
Let loose the libral 527s and go war against the Republicans..... beleive me they are not hesistating going to war on you !!!!!!!!!
WAKE UP
WAKE UP
WAKE UP
WAKE UP NOW !!!!!

I find it appalling that CNN would post anything that comes out of Karl Rove's cesspool of a mouth.

OH and remember the McCain campaign is in no way related to GWB oh suuuurrreee! We arent completely stupid

Obama is so traumatized that he's no longer "the flavor of the month" that he's making ridiculous mistakes. There is a new super-star, and Bam Bam's monstrous ego can't handle it!

I was heartbroken when my state screwed Democrats out of two elections, but I will celebrate when it happens this year! That's what happens when you steal people's votes DNC and Obama!

McCain/Palin '08
Hillary '12

NOBAMA NOT EVER!

Obama hasn't attacked her, he has been way to nice bout her, actually nobody's attacked her, it's the McCain camp making up stuff to distract the uneducated. Once again no issues coming from the republicans.

Get a job. Give this advice to Bushed.

When the heck did Sen. Obama ever attack Gov. Palin? Voters should know by now that Karl Rove is small minded and a huge jerk based on recent events.

Gov. Palin is the one who's been in attack mode. Because she has nothing to offer on the important issues and policy.

Obama doesn't attack the person but evilness of the lies the people are perpetuating. And, by the way, it is McCain's policies Obama is challenging. I don't think he even talks about Palin.
McCain's campaign jumped on the lipstick on a pig baloney. Thus, McCain's folks are calling her the pig I guess
I think it is appalling the way Rove and his coterie have no shame about circulating blatant false claims that can be checked. It is insulting to the American people. They have done it before so I guess they expect it will work.

When exactly has he attacked Palin? Obama is the one going around discussing the issues while McCain tries to use all sort of distractions to divert from the fact that he is more of the same.

Why are we considering Karl Rove as if we buy into all of the deception from this administration to which Rove's ideas constributed.

Are we waking up? What are we leaving for the next generation? Even this generation?

The name calling sounds like a middle school out of control, and the McCain appears and pose as if he is here to save us all from those pathic liberials.

Have we forgotten banks are closing, we are loosing our homes, we are not competative in the global world of education, we are building more jails than schools, we are at war, our world policies are in termiol, energy crisis, on and on, and this is waht our media outlets consentrate on.
This is happening to every one, not just to parts of the American public. THIS IS INDEED A SAD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Mr. Rove, put Palin on stage in front of reporters and citizens who want some real answers to real questions. No one is attacking Palin, and you know it.

By the way media; Palin doesn't even talk to you "guys" (no being sexist)... Why do you even cover her?

Anyone who takes advice from Karl Rove is dumb.

You know Obama won't heed the advice!

However those of us who follow Politics know that you

"Never shoot down"

It is considered not Presidential to do so!

Obama is so VERY naive he doesn't even know this basic rules of engagement which makes me sure he isn't ready to "Lead" anything, other then a big HATE Fest.

McCain/Palin-08-In a Landslide!

Obama is such a great, bright and STRONG individual. It's sad but he always have to end up fighting their side-kicks. He fought against three CLINTONITES.

This time he has to fight about McBushain and his twin, Pal Of Chenin.

People underestimate Obama's charisma. He's not a match for one man, it has to be two to three... !!!

Karl Rove beat the democrat's so called intellegent elitiest politicians (Gore/Kerry) and he is not a Harvard Lawyer so he has only one strike against him in the lack of integrity catagory being a politician!

Why is it stupid? Is it stupid to attack Obama, McCain or Biden on the issues? Why should she be held to a different standard, as implied by the veiled threats of that that lying thug Rove?

Somebody who cares about the USA needs to call her out on her lies and find out about her record. The fact she has become some right wing "folk hero" would be downright laughable if it weren't so pathetic.

I used to have a lot of respect for John McCain, but his selection of Palin has made me see that he is simply a tool. He picked her for the marketing benefits, not for the good of this country. And, he has commented time and time again about "lipstick on a pig" and now claims that Obama's use of it is sexist? Well, I guess it takes one to know one.

Shut up Karl! Your advice is not only worthless, it's usually full of lies. Sarah Palin started the negative BS at your urging, no doubt.
In most peoples opinion you shouldn't even be allowed in Politics...Oh, and neither should Sarah Palin.
All you can do is try to make enough of a stink to get Obama to change his tactics. Your job evidently is to protect incompetent Palin.

Here's a news flash for you, "Obama is smarter and way more decent a man than you have already proved that you could never be!"

I think Palin should be allowed to use the Heart song "Barracuda".
Here are some fitting lyrics (repeat twice).
"If the real thing dont do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooh, barracuda?"

First McCain start negative ads, then he whines because he is a POW, and the media's are not giving him the spot light, then he complain about how long it's been since Obama visit Iraq and Iran (HAS ANYONE HEARD IF PALIN"S BEEN?), then he ACTS as if he cared anything about Hillary, when it is shown any woman will sell, then he waits until Obama picks his VP, then he pick ANY woman and thought we were FOOLS.........................Yep, this is ONE of the problems in Washington and we are SUPPOSE to believe McCain will make this CHANGE.

Palin cannot go on her own for the same reason McCain cannot go on his own either. They both need people who will correct them when they don't know what the hell they are talking about.

She should be able to hold her own. If not, she should have turn McCain down.

Palin/McCain

Don't all you obama backers find it funny. That you see NO right-wingers on here posting? CNN is a liberal speaker box that's why all you guys come here to read each other's unbalanced ranting.

Rove, while morally corrupt, is a genius. If you deny that you're not much of a thinker. Of course given some of the comments I've read, that wouldn't suprise me.

Perhaps Rove should remember that if Obama ran against Palin with her scandal ridden record and lack of tangible experience with so many people terrified of her presidency Palin would lose like a racecar without wheels.

He i s the sum of why America has lost its way.

If Karl Rove said that Obama attacking Palin is dumb, then Obama must be on the right track if he choses to attack Palin. Are we supposed to beleive that Rove wants to give good advice to Obama? And why is Rove not in Jail?

Attacking Palin is dumb.
However, since Obama is such a fool, doing a dumb thing seems intelligent to him.

Obama = Disaster.

Why do you give Karl Rove print space on your website?

Aaron September 11th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

"First of all Obama hasn't attacked Palin"

No he just has everyone do it for him.

Good night Cinderella (ie Senator Obama), its almost midnight and your party is quickly coming to an end.

Thats funny, Obama hasnt attacked her. Rove is always angling. Mccain and Rove are desperate and deceitful.

Now this is a pig who needs a lot more than lipstick!

It is true Obama being distracted by the fluff at the bottom of the Rebuplican ticket is indeed dumb. He should instead cut through the smoke and mirrors of distraction and challenge McCain to explain how he is truly going to fix the mess 8 years of the Empire known administration has left.

Why can't the democrats attack Palin. She certainly doesn't refrain from attacking them. The underlying message is because she is female. This seems more sexist to me then treating her as every other candidate is treated. If she is tough enough to run for VP, she better be tough enough to take the heat. I'm sure other world leaders won't show her such deference, and if she can't handle it, we should know before she gets elected.

Obama, taking advice from Rove who smeared McCain during the 2000 campaign, by alleging that he fathered a child with a Black prostitute, would be as valuable as buying an igloo from the devil, sight unseen.

Rove needs to go sit down somewhere...preferably in church and repent.

All Obama needs to do is: wrap a big red bow around McCain/Palin and continue to sell them as a buy-one-get-one-free ticket and you'll get more of the same.

I bet the this will be the last time Palin refers to herself as a "pitbull." You thought being referred to as a pig as offensive...well how about a female pitbull? You know the name...it rhymes with "itch."

Anytime you make analogy between yourself and an animal...you get what you give.

DON'T HATE....IT'S OBAMA IN 08!

Yea, right. Like one should listen to what this pig thinks. Almost as credible as Limbaugh...

Exposing Palin for what she really is gives a fine example of McCain's poor judgment. Go to it.

Everyone should be attacking Palin - she's a dangerous political figure. Anyone who relates pipelines to "God's will," or the Iraq war as "part of God's plan" is a nut case. This is eerily familiar to Bin Laden's favorite end phrase, "God willing." Only those seeking holy war preach that God is on their side.

Well, I like to take this moment to thank the Republican Party for coming out to support the Democrats and to let us know that Hillary will drive the election home, for coming out to support Democrats to let us know that a Hillary/Obama ticket or Obama/Hillary ticket will be disastrous to the Democrats...

Did Snobby Kennedys, Kerry, DNC establishment, Nancy Pelosi and the other stooges listen? NO.

We'll see. I would love for the Democrats to win.

Where is everybody: You sure got that right. I have been hearing this from all over. My choice's team is woefully lacking and if he should win he should remember them very well.

Ugh I never thought I would say this about Karl Rove- but as an Obama supporter I have to agree- and I believe Obama is going to get back on track regarding the direction of his attacks. McCain is the one running for President and he needs to remind Americans why Obama is the better choice.
I think all these back and forth nit picking, swiftboating politics worked temporarily and we all noticed Obama get off tilt a bit- but if there is anything I have learned about Obama through these last 2 years, is that he is resiliant and I think next week you will find him back on track and stronger than ever- after this long journey everyone can have an off week, Lord knows McCain has had a handfull- time to get back to business- ISSUES over RHETORIC and SMEARS!!
The media and his VP can do the work as far as letting American's know the truth about Sarah Palin- he can stick to reminding America why we DO NOT WANT 4 MORE YEARS!!
Fired Up and Ready To Go!!

Obama/Biden 08!!

Another way to cause distraction...its all strategy that's going to come back to haunt them. I don't think the american public is stupid...maybe dissoriented. Its very sad to bring up stupid topics on such a sad day..,
The republicans remind me of bullys at school that don't have anything smart to say.

Hey, Another pig, sans lipstick. Why is this mullet headed dude not in jail? He's a legend in his own mind. When Obama is president he and his buddies shrub, shooter, rummy and lizza can sit in there cells to rot.

Bait and switch, by saying don't attack he really wants him to continue.
If he is smart he will keep to issues and let biden and others deal with VP

By the way, this has been the deadliest year in Afghanistan for our American troops. Maybe Obama was right – we should've had more support for them there and focused on taking out the Taliban instead of attacking Iraq considering they never attacked us.

Sure it's dumb because Fat Head, Karl Rove, is one of the biggest (in more ways than one!) fools in Washington, D.C., right along with George W. Bush!

I will vote with Bill Clinton's endorsement of Obama over George Bush's endorsement for McCain any day.

Does anyone still remember the prosperity of the Clinton administration?

The choice is so simple this election. Prosperity vs. More War

The lipstick issue had nothing to do with Palin; just McCain's stupid economic plan. Karl Rove may have held a high position in the government but he's still stupid.

Karl Rove is just trying to get a rise out of Obama. This is the same crap the Bush administration has been using for 8 years and it has divided this country. I know BO will not take the bait because he is to smart. Yep, that's right, intelligence trumps cheap tricks any time.

Rove please be quiet and shut that nasty pie hole of yours up. Looking at you makes me throw up in my mouth. We don't need your unsolicited advice. Obama has never attacked Palin.

I anxiously wait everyday for Rove to give me advice so thanks Mr. Rove now I have some advice for you. Get a lawyer your are going to need work you freakin criminal!

Since when is challenging an opponents' credentials an attack?

Since when is asking for unscripted dialogue from a VP candidate an attack?

What's the famous line... "Democrats always find a way to lose the election they should have won in a landslide."

Win or Lose... it never should have been this close.

You talk about Hope and Change and everyone rallies around you. Then McCain picks Palin and you go bashing her every chance you get. And people start flocking away from your negativity.

Even a community organizer should be able to figure out that your message is off and now your poll numbers are too.

Fix it or spend your life regretting how close you actually got to the White House.

Do any of you feel like you are living in bizarro world or something when it comes to this election?

This whole presidential race has just gotten out of control. Rove is giving Obama "advice"?!?! Talk about a trojan horse.

Well, another little scoop that keeps the MSM talking about Palin. Talking about NOT bothering Palin IS talking about Palin. He's got her back in the lights, just by saying DON't talk about her. LOL.

This doesn't deserve any air time.

You know it is up to you America
i you are going to listen and go with Rove and his like
We will deserve what will happen it is as simple at that.
They have played that game again and again and we run after it and get fooled. Hope we are smarter this time America hope we are for the sake of our children and grand children

Wow his head looks like a marshmallow. Anyway, the reason why the McCain/Rove camp has not let Palin speak on her own is because they are still vetting her behind closed doors. And although she likes to speak publicly, she does not sound very bright at times, almost juvenile even. The crap is about to hit the fan and it is the beginning of the end of McCain's joy ride.

sure

Obama will be paying close attention to Rove's advice

uh huh

Yes I agree with MikeH keep using the lipstick phrase. That way you are telling the republican you are not backing off. The Repub will tell a lack and dont back off

McCain is running for president ? It's sure hard to tell because nobody even in the Republican party pays attention to him.

Be honest (fat chance), it's really the Palin/McCain ticket. Neo-Cons at work.

Carl will soon be fitted for an orange jumpsuit.Lets see that smug smile then.

Dear Anonymous,

Rove has a consistent, medium-size role, like he has a consistent, medium size head. If you believe that lie, no wonder you're defending him–your brain can't be functioning.

I'm so sure that Rove just wants to give Obama advice on how to win. I guess he's just a good samaritan and wants to see the best person as president.....NOT!!!

If Palin lies to the American people repeatedly then she needs to be attacked, by Obama, Biden, you, me, everyone. She has done nothing but lie since Day One of bursting onto the national scene and the American people deserve better.

Karl,

WAKE UP BABY....Barak Obama is NOT attacking Sarah Palin, rather the nonsense that you suggest to McCain to use as talking points!!!!!!

I think he might be right about this one.

Attacking Palin may be REALLY, REALLY DUMB, but what else can Senator Oblama do? He cannot run on his record; he has none!

Further, no one FORCES Senator Oblama to go negative, it is clearly a personal choice!

Senator Oblama would make a TERRIBLE president, as all he does is flipe-flop, flip,-flop... you know like all political folks. it is just a bit more revealing when he does it as it really reflect his tremendous lack of any reasonable judgment...

The real action here is fairly simple: Senator Oblama, as does the elites in the Democratic Party, simply want to be the first party to elect an African-American as president – no matter how unqualified – and this is good for AMERICA?

Hypocrisy thy name is Carl Rove!!!

My hope for America is as that by seeing the worst of the "red meat" politics (mud slinging and lies) close up we will finally reject this type of politics for not being the best way to choose our most important and powerful leader. We are not only too wise to continue this practice; we are too desperate to continue this practice. I hope that America will finally understand and reject the kind of politics that discards our best and brightest candidates and elevates the candidates who make the most despicable “red meat” political choices.

I personally will not vote for anyone who will forfeit their best and most valued beliefs to seize the presidency. I want the best person possible to be our president because we need and deserve the best person possible, especially now. A person who has no shame and no boundaries in getting the presidency will have no shame or boundaries being our president. America does not deserve this type of leadership ever again.

I hate to say it, but Rove is right on this one. Obama is taking the bait. He needs to come up with an economic slogan and turn the tables to his conversation and his own message.

These distractions are how republicans win elections and they work every time. Obama needs to ignore the distractions and make the issues the center of attention, not Palin.

Hopefully Obama's campaign will realize it before we hand the country over to the circus act of McCain/Palin.

Karl Rove you don't get it. Sen Obama is not attacking Mrs Palin but she can hide because she a woman. but mr Rove is right Sen Obama Democratic presidential nominee to avoid attacking Sarah Palin directly If Mr. Obama wants to win, he needs to remember he's running against John McCain for president, not Mrs. Palin for vice president." Let Sen biden take on Mrs. palin. Go Obama/Biden

Shut up Rove. Who wants to hear from a criminal!!! You're a loser

WHO IS THIS IDIOT?

GIVING ADVICE TO THE MOST PRESIDENTIAL ONE WITH A LAW DEGREE AND JUDGEMENT WITH NO COMPARISSON TO THE 72 YEAR OLD OPPONENT JOHN MCAIN

Please shut your mouth, it is none of your business to talk about Democrats.

Underestimation of an adversary in any endeavor is extremely unwise. Even if you detest Karl Rove (which I do) the smart play is to listen carefully to what he says. It is however, a sad commentary on the state of our politics when you have to do something like that .

Do you people read your own comments before you post them????

Don't believe everything you write

is hate too strong a word to use for my feelings toward the coward karl rove?

Karl Rove is a criminal and should be in jail. He has nothing to say to the American people... NADA !!!!!

Someone needs to hurry up and give a news flash to this Rove fellow and tell him his strategy of having Palin attack Sen. Obama is what's DUMB ! Because the American people need answers from the leaders on solutions to the economy wows and NOT attacks !

I truly hope the American people will get it right this time and vote for REAL change and that is Obama. It’s definitely time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !

The Obama-Biden team are wiser and stronger to solve the crucial problems that we have here and abroad !

WAY TO GO ROVE – WAY TO GO TELL IT LIKE IT IS

We need the experience at the TOP of the TICKET.. McCain HAS this in Diamonds! He's been there, DONE that. He's FOR the AMERICAN people, not the foreigners' that want pieces of America ! Foerigners want what WE ( Americans ) have. FREEDOM. Think about it. We need an experienced leader WHO is DETERMINED to Keep America FREE. We need someone who's not afraid to TAKE ACTION when action is NEEDED. McCain is that leader and his running mate will gain ADDED exsperience as she works the job. THAT'S HER POSITION AT THIS TIME. GET IT ? Obama ? EXPERIENCE AT THE TOP, not the bottom. (that is unless you are going to be following BEHINED your VP ? )

Obama didn't attack Palin and they KNOW he didn't. Obama was referring to McCain's plan for the economy (putting lipstick on pig), but the McCain camp figures the more they say Obama attacked Palin the longer they distract the public from the issues and the more people will simpathize with Palin (which seems unforturnately to be working). People are stupid. Like Obama said, this is silly season

Obama '08/'12

Why don't any of these Republicans think Gov. Congeniality can fend for herself?

Maybe if she weren't so congenial she'd stand a chance.

Sen. Obama is not attacking her and you very well know it. The Republican is going down due to self-inflicted wounds.

When Rove speaks I always wonder, "what is his motive for saying what he is saying"...everything is contrived for an end purpose.

That said, Schmidt – is adopted son – is as dirty as they come. And we gotta know that we've only just begun to see how low McCain will agree to go.

Rove couldn't be more stupid and wrong. McCain and Palin are running on the premise that they are reformers...yeah..reformers my *ss. She asked for earmarks. She has no experience!!! So is Rove scared that "The Truth" about Palin and McCain will come out? I think so....that's why we shall all ignore Rove's politics.

karl rove ,you are an idiot.

Karl Rove is dumb! His idea for a good campaign ad is to make ridiculous statements like Obama is sexist. That's not a smart move, Karl. Americans want to hear about the issues that matter!
Senator Obama please ignore this man, the more we silence him the better the country is!
Obama-Biden '08!!!!

Rove should be in prison.

all the men try to protect her
it reminds me of a dog in heat that hes been put in the kennel with male dogs

guess what mcsain has first bite
so men get over it

+++++++++++++

Obama doesn't need to attack her.

As more info comes out about her she is being revealed as ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIARS OF ALL TIME.

She is the MOST FRIGHTENING potential president in history!

++++++++++++

This from the guy who helped elect the worst president in history.

He has'nt been talking about Palin... but the republicans want him to. All he has to do is talk about the issues. I have'nt heard anything on the economy from mccain-palin when their in front of these big crowds of people,lol.. GET A CLUE PEOPLE!!!!

Karl Rove needs to shut up! I find it very disrespectful to sling mud on a day that McCain and Obama agreed to a truce. Today is 9/11 – a day we should pay respect to our country and mourn the loss of our fallen heroes and loved ones. Act like a pig any other day, Rove, but not today.

Obama/Biden '08!

For first time I have to agree with Rove. McCain in 2008 Hillary in 2012

Nobody wants advice from George Bush's corrupt adviser. He needs to testify and clear his name. Oops, I am sorry. If he was innocent,he would have testified already. Corruption personified, Karl Rove.

And he thinks the Obama Camp doesn't know this? Karl is an idiot.

Obama/Biden 08

Clearly this is a case of good vs evil. My choice for president will be so easy this year.

If he was smart enough to orchestrate 2 back to back wins for a loser like Bush, I'd listen to his advice very closely. While democrats may hate him, it's silly to deny his political genius. The man is about as shrewd and talented as they come with regards to politics. His words ring truth, and if Obama wants any hope of winning he'd listen to them.

Advice coming from Karl Rove??? This guy has attacked the constitution for years! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Obama and democrat supporters don't need Karl Rove's advice. We are very aware that Rove is pulling the "puppet strings" of McCain and Palin just like he did with Bush and Cheney. Karl Rove is no "mastermind" he's a "underminder" and spreads false propaganda to anyone who will listen. NOT THIS TIME, NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN AND PALIN AND DEFINITELY NO KARL ROVE.

Yeah, why isnt the Rove in jail? Oh, the repugnicans have him protected, after the elections and Sen Obama is Prez Obama – maybe they will lock him up and throw away the key. I could not post on the 911/safe factor because its closed for comment...but I saw a post and I just have to respond.

The post said something about Bush being the reason we have not be attacked since 911...thats really scary because I have always and always will believe we were attacked because of Bush.

PLEASE POST CNN

Karl Rove should encourage Gov Palin to do the same. She was the one who initially began to slam Obama. Belittling his experience as a community organizer and such and drawing comparisons between herself and Sen Obama.

And as the article points out, Obama has not called out Palin specifically (except when he said her family life was off limits when Bristol's pregnancy was announced) -and I won't even give merit to the lipstick/pig comment, b/c McCain said it himself.

Palin should keep her mouth off Obama and stick to policies.

For all of you who thinks Rove doesn't count, who cares, no one listens to him; you had better pay attention. He is behind all of this garbage that is coming from McCain's campaign. Same tactics used on Kerry. If you want Obama to win, we need to get back on the issues.

Thanks Karl Rove for telling us democrats how we can win. Why the change of Heart? Well thanks again and now you can return to hell and catch up with your father......he's missing you.

Rove is a pig without lipstick. He should really start wearing lipstick. Don't you think?

Should we call McCain McRove? McCain caves in to Rove tactics each time.

Since when does the disgraced Karl Rove's opinion matter ? Obama does not need any advice from him! If Ms Palin does not wish to be attacked, then she should not attack so viciously herself: what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, to use another farmyard metaphor.

They cannot have it both ways. Women are either men's equals or they aren't. If they aren' t then they must use the gender card to take themselves out of harm's way, just as her surrogates are doing here. Ms Pailn, pick!( read:put up or shut up). And by the way, man up, Joe Biden!

I think Obama should concentrate on John McCain, and where is Joe Biden, he should be the one talking about Gov. Palin. Obama just looks stupid when he tries to defend himself against the VP candidate. With regard to the "lipstick" remark, it sure does seem strange that he would use that term at this time after Gov. Palin made a "lipstick" comment at the convention. I think a lot of people don't buy his statement and neither did the audience that was there, they knew it was a direct aim at Palin. He has a lot of guts saying that he is running a clean campaign and using the word "lie".

If I were in the Obama campaign, I would do the exact opposite of what Karl Rove says.

Rove is another reason why lil fat kids should get out side and play more. No friends growing up will take a toll on you.

With so much riding on this election maybe CNN should devote more space to Matt Damon's thoughts about politics

This guy should be walking in shackles wearing an orange jumpsuit and not giving out advice.

Only the republicans would take the word of an unethical, lying, crooked, criminal.

Republican apathy, gulibility, and ignorance are alive and well in America.

Can we sign a petition to put this man in jail? He is an enemy of the state.

Obama/Biden 08

"If he keeps attacking Palin about her earmarks and lack of experience".

He hasn't attacked her about her lack of experience, not once, even when prompted to.

I wish he would because that's the question everybody with a brain should do, but Obama hasn't once, and Rove here is misrepresenting Obama, much like Mccain has misrepresented Obama throughout this campaign.

It makes me sick that the Wallstreet Journal would hire him to write this trash for their paper.

And the evil rear its head...I am darth vader...This is a gimmick and Obama camp should not stoop to such advice. Please continue attacking mama moose.

Rove apparently didn't get the memo about 9/11.

Obama is wrong on this one - Republicans CAN JUST MAKE THINGS UP and they do in all the time, for instance in their TV ads. Lies lies lies and more lies. Apparently accountability is not a Republican trait.

;Just let those Repubs enyoy a few more days in the sunlight with a 1 point lead in the polls, that will be the last and only time .

McSame and Palin are proven liars and are trying to distract voters from the real issues.

It won't work this time !
NO TO 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH POLITICS !!!

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

Another observation, this is a thinly veiled attach against OBama and typical Rove strategy.

Make it appear that he is giving advice to Obama, but in reality he is sticking talking points out there that are meant to attack him.

Rove is a Republican shill. Worse, he is totally biased against ANYTHING Obama brings to the table. As a result, his comments are worthless and should be thrown out with the rest of the trash.

Speaking about putting lipstick on a pig.... here Rovee, Rovee, Rovee,
SUUeeee!!!!!!!

Then maybe the Republicans need to quit comparing Obama to Palin and start comparing him to McCain. Oh that's right – the Republican's are too busy smearing Obama so that they don't have to talk about the issues.

The devil in disguise trying to give advice. No thanks Karl.

Yeah Karl, you go fight for McCain – Palin, because we don't want you on our side.

Say what you will, but that Karl Rove is one good-looking guy.

McCain was a POW

Hey guys, I finally figured out why McCain picked Sarah. He realized, like the snake he is, that he didn't need a VP. His VP really will be Joe Lieberman, so he just needed a body (pun intended) to fill the slot. That way, his base is happy, he's happy because he can sidestep the American people and have Joe Lieberman in the oval office anyway. Did you really think McCain was going to go to Sarah for counsel? Not in a million years.

What's going to happen is he's going to implement every sleazy act he wants, and when subject get loud, he'll throw Sarah Palin at them.

Sleaze balls to the end.

If Rove is telling the O' man not too, then by all means, it is time to take her down. The country deserves to know what she is all about.
Animal Killer, Anti-Women, Anti-Peace, & Anti Environment. oh yeah, unethical too.

Why is this man, this repub is not in jail?

When you make personal attacks on Biden or on any Dems again we will answer you in relations to your failed policies advised to Bush. Keep your naked-lies and your fraud for your republicans clients.

Thanks, but not thanks!

Does Rove think that Obama would actually be concerned with any UNSOLICITED "advice" he has to give......does he think that we (Obama included) are that foolish to believe he has any of our best interests at heart(lol...??) He is pathetic.

The original master of deception is back at it. He's concerned, and he's using the ole G.O.P. spin to make a strength a weakness. The G.O.P has invested a lot in Palin, and as continued questions evolve around her, the luster fades from her march onto the scene. Keep up the critique, these G.O.P. are running scared from the sudden aggression.

ONE NATION

And we should listen to Rove why? Because he trashed our country by giving us 'w' twice?

Rove is the definition of slime, as is evident by this current attempt at implying Obama has done ANYTHING to Palin.

Go find another country to screw up, Karl.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

PALIN IS A DISTRACTION TO THE REAL ISSUES!!!

OBAMA-BIDEN 08 012

Karl Rove is an evil man who needs to rot in hell. He has been behind Bush and this country has done nothing but suffer since. Now he's behind this big politcal scheme for McCain.

Obama and Biden need to keep to the issues. Put pressure on the Repugs but not let them get to them. This is a race America can't afford a Repug win in.

Change needs to happen and it happens with Obama!!!!

Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!

The idea that Rove thinks Obama needs his advice is hilarious. Rove is a disgusting speciman of a human being and should be behind bars.

Karl Rove is an idiot who really should be in JAIL!

Rove says, "dumb." Takes dumb to know dumb, Karl.

Mr. Rove's "swift boat" techniques were the prime mover for Senator Obama's policy of responding quickly and forcefully to any slam coming from the Republicans. I think its an obvious tactic of Rove to ask Democrats to let their guard down so he can resume a plan of attack he's familiar with. We're way ahead of you on this, Mr. Rove. It ain't gonna work.

Sorry, Rove is not paid by the McCain campaign. He is an "informal advisor," gives support," and has a "consistent, medium-size" role in the McCain camp.

McCain was a POW.

He's right in that Palin's a distraction. He should be attacking McCain on the fact that he's hiding behind Palin's skirts, playing the mute straight man while she does all the talking, and in the fact that when McCain does open his mouth, he talks about diversionary false issues like the 1% of the budget represented by earmarks.

The story here is that McCain's hiding from the facts, because he has no defense against the fact of his irrelevance.

Did somebody clean out the gutter? Is that why we're hearing from this waste of good oxygen?

It's called Propaganda folks!
VOTE OBAMA

Rove the Retard. The Republican campaigners have taken this thing so out of context it is laughable. Freaking morons. Obama is the last person to appear sexist. McCain himself uttered the same remark for Hillary's policies more than once.

I see where Rove is coming from I guess...I think Obama should focus on McCain.

HOWEVER, he should encourage Gov Palin to do the same. She was the one who initially began to slam Obama. Belittling his experience as a community organizer and such and drawing comparisons between herself and Sen Obama.

And as the article points out, Obama has not called out Palin specifically -and I won't even give merit to the lipstick/pig comment, b/c McCain said it himself.

Palin should keep her mouth off Obama and stick to policies.

If Rove is giving a warning it means we have hit bone. Beyond that, Rove is a clear spinner and his comments are not worth my time to review or discuss. This guy is a clown, a criminal, and a spineless jerk who will not appear before anyone looking for the truth. He hides behind the skirts and apron strings of those who love him and spouts off his garbage for any to hear.

Having said that, I agree that Obama needs to focus on McCain – after all, it's his candidacy and not Palins.

Further, Palin will self-implode once the media get done with her. Obama does not need to attack her any longer. Even further, once the Dem 527's are unleashed, she will be cooked.

Yes it is dumb and attaching McCain and Bush together is dumb, too. The battle for President is between McCain and Obama.

It appears Obama has let a hockey mom get to him, if he can't handle a hockey mom how can he handle Russia, Iran, NK, and other countries.

Palin is such a phony and she and McCain are two of the biggest liars and hypocrites to come along in politics in teh alst 25 years or more.

Palin is so transparent, has NO EXPERIENCE, will use anyone including her own children to get what she wants and climb the political ladder.

Nothing nor anyone is off limits to her. She plays the gener card when it suits her needs, uses her oldes son, her unwed pregnant 17 y.o. daughter, and even her bay who suffers from Down Syndrome.

She calls herself a good mother. Absent and out of touch mother is more accurate. Only ignorant, apathetic women are falling for her b.s., and most white women who vote republican across the country.

I believe that most Democrats and Independents vote for the candidates whom they think will be best for the country, themselves, and their familes, whereas the REPUBLICANS always vote Party, rather than whome is best for the job.

Such hypocrisy is nauseating. Right out of the republican playbook.

Karl Rove, please GO AWAY!

Seriously, haven't you ruined my country enough? Do you ever shut up?

It's over or Rove wouldn't be giving Obama good advice ( Which this is ) Obama has just be acting very non-presidential lately-
He is suffering from what all other Dems are suffering From–
PDS ( Palin Distress Syndrome ) Don't you get it-The PEOPLE like her and the more the Media and that new man on MSNBC ( which absolutely nobody cares about ) Say negative things about the more they are drawn to her - His biggest mistake and Biden Admitted it yesterday ( Clinton should be VP but Obama wanted to prove he didn't need her and look whats happen-An inexperienced move by an inexperienced Candidate-
Keep it up News Organizations-
The right man will be in the WHITE HOUSE-

Wind!

Rob, you sound like you need to be in jail with ROVE!!!

Ok but isn't this a double standard???

Why is it okay for Palin to attack Obama and insult him but he can't do the same to her????

If they don't want Obama to go after Palin, then the McCain camp should stop writing Palin's speeches targeting and insulting him. She's fair game!

Talk about calling the kettle black!!!!!

Rove knows Obama was answering a question about Palin right? He didn't bring her up.

He also hasn't really been attacking Palin... but I do see an attempt by Rove to make it appear as though Obama has. Look at the phony "outrage" the McCain camp had yesterday and their last two ads – both making it appear Obama is "ganging up" on Palin in an effort to get sympathy voting. Factcheck.org is debunking literally all the claims in these ads and point out that Obama never said any of what McCain is claiming he or his camp is saying.

Should Obama win the presidency, he should tell the Democrats to kiss his @#!. He is out there all by himself. Where is his support? Where are all of the top Democrats? Where is Maxine Waters? Where is Sheila Jackson Lee? I give the Repugs credit for one thing, they stick together from top to bottom and they repeat the same lines over and over and over like a broke record. Democrats can’t seem to get around having a black male nominee for president. The Repugs could nominate a camel and they would act like that it was the best thing in the world for America and they would stay on point and never sway no matter how screwed they know the decision was. Got to give them credit. We Democrats can’t seem to get it together even when the White House was handed to us on a silver platter.

Seriously, Rove is right. This is the second time I've watched him give correct unsolicited advice to Obama. People don't need to hear Obama talking about Palin, the media is going to tear her apart day after day after day without Obama pointing a single thing out. Let that run its course. (Continute to) Focus on the fact that McCain's avoiding all policy discussions, how he can't even give a freaking speech without Palin to lean on, how bad the economy is doing, etc.

The sneaky part about Rove's move here is only that he knows we'll probably, out of spite, not want to take this key advice and shoot ourselves in the foot. It's a poker move, read it right Obama.

Karl Rove, thank you for your advice.
By the way Obama will still win in a landslide come Novemeber.
Keep Rove and Palin talking.

If you want America to be the best it can be, WE the PEOPLE need to DEMAND it!

In any given year, I wouldnt have cared about VP, but McCain is old and we need to make sure, SHE is STRONG enough to carry all the problems on her shoulders.

Bush, as strong as he is and stubborn as he is, has problems, grasping Iraq, Palin will not match it.

A leader needs to have judgement, vision and patience.

When exactly did Obama attack the moose shooter? Oh, I see what you're doing, Karl- Repeat the lie often enough until people start believing it-

How very You of you, sir. Quite Rovian.

Only a dummy like Karl Rove would discuss Palin politics on the 7th Anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks!

Why is Rove not discussing America's resolve and unity on that day? Or why not talk about the where Bin Laden is or the status of Al Qaeda now?

Why is anyone paying attention to Karl Rove?
HE IS A CRIMINAL WHO SHOULD BE IN JAIL.
Why has he not been forced to testify?

Cant we do something to keep Karl Rove sidelined??? His brand of sleaze is more than welcome to the repubs but i wouldnt mind seeing the election not contaminated with his bs.

So she won't go it alone on the campaign trail...gee, what did you think would happen. However, she does have to go up against Joe Biden in Oct with the VP debate. McCain is not good on his own, so it's no wonder they are keeping them together.

Having a close-up picture of Rove should be a crime!

While I think Rove is a scummy felon and committed treason, he's right.

Obama has Biden to do the attacking, make Biden do it.

Obama should also continue to use the 'Lipstick on a Pig" phrase and even ratchet it up to include campaign commercials using the pig imagry. Embrace this icon, don't back down. Let the Republicans howl, and completely ignore them, stick with the issues. There is such a target-rich field of fire with McCain's and Palin's lies.

Rove please shut up already. What about this...Rove attacking McCain in 2000 was dummer....lol. Now supporting him wow...
More inrestingly supporting the man you said was retarded and coulnt be trusted for sanity?
We all know what you do best slander, mud slings as so on. It would have been better if McCain didnt call you into his campaign. Now i see he his really becoming despirate. Poll of polls still deceiving everyone, McCain knows he his not leading in the pols enlist Rove ...pathetic

Rove works for the McCain campaign and is also a contributor to FOX "News" and Newsweek. Now he's giving advice to Obama?

Where is this guy coming from, and why is he given a platform?

He is one of the most morally corrupt and filthy politicians of the last century, and yet we look to him for his opinion, as if we don't know what it is ahead of time.

He is paid by the McCain campaign. It's a fact.

The McCain campaign does not want anyone to say anything about Sarah. I am sure that she is a great person, but it is a dangerous choice for her to be VP. I care about the safety of this country and I don't want her with the nuclear codes. Thanks but no thanks Mrs. Palin.

Obama never attacked her. If he did, then John McCain attacked Hillary when he said "you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig" when referring to her health care plan.

CNN-–Post this

Do the opposite of anything he says.

Go Obama-expose his fake VP puppet pitpull pig and then expose the War POW McPrez no McEconomy,No McHealthcare,no McEducation.

OBAMA Bidden 08

I actually agree with Rove for once. (Ouch, it hurt to type that).

Obama needs to refocus on the issues and not the the 24 hour news networks dictate what issues he is speaking about. The 24 hour media networks like Fox, CNN, and MSNBC latch on to any story that gets rating and rides it untill its dead. It's a pretty obvious pattern that consists of covering the issue themselves then have a day of coverge consisting of asking why all the other media outlets are covering it. Pathetic.

Campaign advice from the biggest AH on the planet? Carl Rove is a huge part of the problem that we find ourselves in and any advice he gives is useless. Be gone CR

I wouldn't take Karl Rove's word that night's dark and day's light; and I'm sick of seeing his name in the press. Why does the media subsidize sleazemerchants like this (and Dick Morris) when there are so many competent (David Gergen, for example) political experts available?

It looks like Ohio, Florida, Virginia and possibly Missouri will be the deciding states this year...It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or step out and go a new direction.

Rove is dumb. All he needs is an apple is his mouth...forget the lipstick.

If he fell on a knife, it would be a good day.

Hey Rove, Using Sarah Palin is dumb.

This Pillsbury Doughboy make me sick. I hope the rest of his life is miserable. Can someone take a poll on how much America hates Karl. His mother must have been a pig to lay down with the devil.

Shot up your mouth Karl Rove. Perhaps you do not know that you are the most dishonourable man in USA. We are waiting patiently on the outcome of your case.You are not in a position to advise Obama on what to do. Pocket your advice, shameless man.

CNN please post this!

Who cares what Karl Roves thinks. He is a big fool!

When did he "attack" her? Rove needs to STFU because he is at his old tricks again.

Exactly, Obama go home. dont play with the big boys, they gonna kick your butt... maybe you can hide behind Hillary

Rob

Advice from Karl Rove is like taking advice from the devil. Why would he give Barack advice when he's plotting with John McCain to defeat him.

CNN, this is the stupidest article you've ever posted. Karl Rove should be under the jail, along with Dick Cheney and Bush. Don't both sincere Americans who actually care about the country with this trash. Otherwise, you're a bigger pig than he is.

Does anybody think Obama would take advice from Karl Rove? He should just be glad he's not in prison (yet) and stay out of this election.

Obama '08

blah blah blah I'm Karl Rove blah blah blah i can never be president myself so i will help other by LYING

First of all Obama hasn't attacked Palin. He's tried to stick to the issues but all this "lipstick" non-troversy has been getting in the way. The Obama Camp knows attacking Palin is not a good idea, which is why they aren't doing it. I can't wait for the debates!

Karl Rove? The same lying, cheating, back-stabbing, unethical, immoral Bush buddy? That Karl Rove????

If he weren't so pathetic, this would be amusing!

I thought the GOP called a truce today. He's calling Obama dumb in a back handed way.

rove go crawl back under your rock why is this man not in jail?

Karl Rove predicted a Republican victory in 2006. Right now this porcine little war criminal is doing his best to turn the election into "American Idol." HIs dreams of a Thousand Year Reich will come tumbling around his ears in November!

Only Karl Rove would talk politics on a day when both candidates called a truce.

I'm sure that McCain adviser Karl Rove has no reason to lie to Obama.

Who gives a rat's butt what KarlRove thinks? He is one of the most unethical, lying men ever to be in politics.

Ignorant and apathetic people!

I'm sure the republicans are thanking God for 9/11 so taht they have one more day wehre Palin does not have to answer any questions.

According to a press statement put out today, after the interview with Charlie Gibson of ABC News this evening, Palin will NOT be giving any more interviews and will NOT campaign on her own, but only with mcCain so that they can keep a close eye on her.

That comes directly from the McCain camp. Any itnelligent person would realize that this woman is not qualified and if she can't hold her own in interviews how in the hell is she supposed to deal wtih dangerous world leaders as V.P., or possibly president?

Intelligent people? NEVER UNDERSTIMATE THE STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WHITE WOMEN WHO VOTE REPUBLICAN.
