Palin stumped in Florida earlier Tuesday.
Palin stumped in Florida earlier Tuesday.

(CNN) – Sarah Palin held a campaign rally in Jacksonville, Florida earlier Tuesday.

"John McCain is the only man in this race who will solve our economic crisis, not exploit it. As a senator, he's seen the corrupt ways of Washington, the wasteful spending and other abuses of power, and as president he's going to end them," she said.

Read excerpts of Palin's remarks

Sarah Palin on John McCain & The Economy

John offers us an optimistic vision for overcoming hard times. He's offering us real and pragmatic solutions for moving forward.

On the other hand, for a campaign that says it's all about the future, our opponents sure do talk a lot about the past. They look to the past, because that's where you find blame. We look to the future, because that's where you find solutions.

John McCain is the only man in this race who will solve our economic crisis, not exploit it. As a senator, he's seen the corrupt ways of Washington, the wasteful spending and other abuses of power, and as president he's going to end them.

John and I will push for — and sign into law — reforms that bring tax relief to the middle class and help to businesses so they can create jobs.

We will get the rising cost of food and gas under control. We will help families keep their homes, and help students struggling to pay for college. We will complete the work of education reform, to give every child in America a chance. We will make health care more accessible and affordable.

John McCain will impose a spending freeze in government to cover all but the most vital functions. We will review every agency of the federal government, improve those that need to be improved and eliminate those that aren't working for the American people. We will confront the ten trillion-dollar debt that the federal government has run up, and balance the federal budget.

Put it all together, and John McCain's the only man in this race with a plan that will actually help working families … and cut our taxes … and get our economy back on track.

Sarah Palin on Barack Obama's Judgment

One of Barack Obama's earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers. And according to The New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, “launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.”

Now, our opponent's campaign is claiming for the first time that Barack Obama “wasn't aware of Ayers's radical background.” Barack recently remembered him as just a 'guy in my neighborhood.'

Wait a minute. He didn't know that he had launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist?

What next? Claiming he didn't know that two of his biggest supporters were running Fannie Mae, the subprime mortgage giant that has done such harm to America's economy? Maybe he thought they were just “guys in his Washington neighborhood?”

And since he got called out on his plans to meet unconditionally with terror-state leaders like Iran's Ahmadinejad, will he claim that he “wasn't aware of his radical background”?

Will he now claim his ticket doesn't define higher taxes as “patriotic?” Will he claim he's just learned that tax increases on small business kill jobs?

Ladies and gentlemen, this election is about the truthfulness and judgment needed in our next president. John McCain has it, Barack Obama doesn't.

Sarah Palin on Tonight's Town Hall

Tonight, the nation gets another look at the contrast. Tonight, it's Town Hall time, live from Nashville. We'll see the difference between a politician who puts his faith in government … and a leader who puts his faith in you.

The difference between inspiring words … and inspiring deeds. The difference between a politician who observes and analyzes us, and a leader who knows and understands us.

In short, the difference between a guy who makes big promises, and a guy who gets things done … between a fine talker and a great man.

I cannot take anything Palin says seriously. I am an Independent. I am partisan to no one. She is doing terrible harm to the religious community who she claims to embrace. Most that comes out of her mouth is hurtful lies that no Christian would say or listen to. As the GOP spew this hatred their religious Right turns Left. When McCain or Palin say this stuff on the stump………watch the people close to them and their body language. It isn't good. Watch Cindy when John starts lying. The expression tells it all…………McCain is an honorable man who is acting just the opposite in a desperate attempt at power…………that is his burden and test. Palin ………….c'mon everyone. We see whats wrong here………..

CK   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

Look at the issues.
Omama is raising TAXES. Tax on employers who give us our paychecks. Employers cannot afford, we are out of JOBS.
McCain CUT taxes to create jobs. Domestic drilling to create jobs and help lessen rely on buying oil from no-one.
Which part of your body parts don't understand we all need jobs to pay our bills. Unless you all don't work and waiting for hand out. Omama want you to continue being a nobody, no future, no brain but to wait for hand out. This is what omama want you to be: useless.

Ken in NC   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

Sarah Palin does a really poor job of being herself. Maybe she should look more at Tina Fey. Tina does a better impression of Palin than Palin does. Tina Fey is much more respectable and real than Palin. I would even vote for Tina Fey over Palin.

EJ   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

she gives the same speech everyday, at every stop. this isn't news, it's free advertising.

THE PALINS HATE AMERICA THEY ARE UNAMERICAN!

Tell the truth lady, stop embellishing things, you look bad. I could like you if you had a relationship with the truth

Joey   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

No need to be afraid of Obama if you have treated all people with respect. You need only fear if you are like the Rush Limbaughs of the world. If I were Rush, I would find a new rock and crawl under it with the likes of Shawn Hannity.

dacrumm   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

dear raymond duke…i am amused at your little palin defense. you are funny little confused man. do you know who "sambo" was. i seriously doubt it. but that is the name usd by palin to refer to barack obama. thats why she has been labeled a racist. your facts are as distorted as conservatives' usually are. i bet if we checked your closet we would find a racist skeleton bone or two.

Bismarck   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

I hope her witch-doctor accompanies her on the campaign trail…she will need all the help available.Speaking in tongues to the citizens won't help our economy.

Eileen from Maine   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

I am amazed and saddened by the disrespect and contempt that John mcCain and Sarah Palin have shown for the American people who don't happen to agree with their views.

Most average people, are not fanatics ,and we will vote against this vile they are spewing because it hurts us all and it is what is tearing our country down.

TexasCowboy   October 7th, 2008 10:53 am ET

Palin is pathetic and only uses the pit bull tactics because that is all she knows. She is a desperate woman, who is stirring up hate and fear and prejudice. She is a poor representation for women. She seems to have stepped out of nowhere and dares to pretend she is a leader. If this is leadership, inciting crowds to shouting terrorist and kill him, she needs to find an igloo and stay there.
Hey Sarah - I "gotcha!!!" Let's see what is behind this wolf in sheep's clothing..

Troopergate
Book banning
Ebaying a plane
Teaching creationism as a science
Use of private emails as a cover
Per diems for staying in your own house
Lobbyists as campaign advisors
Bridge to nowhere
Pork barrel spending

She is sooo stupid. How can anyone believe the garbage that comes out of her mouth. Is the Republican base really that dimwitted.

Doug R.   October 7th, 2008 10:52 am ET

After tonight's debate, the sky is going to fall on McDoofus McCain/ McMoose Palin. They will implode.
Boy…this Ms. Palin is an annoying fool. Her speeches are empty barfed up RNC talking points. She makes no sense.

lily ny   October 7th, 2008 10:52 am ET

this woman is nuts, she is crazy, liar, has no idea what she is talking about. she has no experience at all. who is she to say anything. disgusting disgusting disgusting
there is now way I would vote for mccain he is a very very very bitter, angry, grumpy, disgusting old man. what if he drops dead do you really want palin running our country after what she said today. disgusting insult to women all over the country disgusting she should be ashamed of herself she has family, a daughter who is pregant and a newborn with down syndrome she should be home taking care of the kids. she has no substance and she thinks it's ok to wolves from a heliocopter, pro life even for people who were raped, avoiding troopergate disgusting please post this cnn

LB   October 7th, 2008 10:52 am ET

Mock the Christian faith all you want …. but a true Christian — an absolute true Christian cannot vote for Obama and be living for the Lord.

Kathleen   October 7th, 2008 10:52 am ET

Why would any American want McCain as President? He shows poor judgement, not just in the past, but now with his choice of Palin, his choice to drop out of the race and cause worse problems in Congress by entering the political party, and now his choice to run a dirty campaign instead of speaking to the issues at hand. I see no real good plans by McCain to resolve our problems only more of Bush plans already in place that caused this. His beliefs as a Republican will NEVER change — WE NEED NEW DIRECTION — I VOTE FOR OBAMA.

Stevo   October 7th, 2008 10:52 am ET

Palin - making racist comments again?

Pamela   October 7th, 2008 10:51 am ET

Unbelievable! Palin today at her stump in Florida says that Democrats wants to bring up past. She was the one to bring up William Ayers, saying that Obama was "palling around" with a terriorist. I was at my desk thinking is this woman totally confused or what. Obama wants to talk about the economy. Why is Palin allowing herself to be used by the Republican party to go out and pour the poison? I am starting to see she is really being used, and it is sad to be anyone's puppet on a string.

sarahinfla   October 7th, 2008 10:51 am ET

No issues from this woman… She did get one thing right, her and the pitbull (female pit, right) do have somthing in common here in Florida.
The're called B!+%#'es….I just call them as I see them……

Florida will be going blue….Look at the numbers it should already be in Obama's column. Thank you Mrs. Pallin around with witch doctors / pastor.

Buddy   October 7th, 2008 10:51 am ET

Raymond Duke, your racism is showing! You are probably 1 of the 12% that thinks America is on the right track.

Are you an elitist?

bobbi   October 7th, 2008 10:51 am ET

how can these people (mccain-palin) ask us to turn the page on the economy, WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE PAPER THAT IT'S PRINTED ON. I DON'T MIND SHOPPING AT THRIFT STORES,BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR KIND OF LEADER SHIP, I NOW HAVE NO CHOICE, I CAN'T EVEN FIND, OR AFFORD GAS TO GO TO A MALL, LET ALONE BUY ANYTHING THERE.

ceh   October 7th, 2008 10:51 am ET

If you believe Obama you are a crazy fool. Wake America; do not fall for being hood- winked by a radical such as Obama. He is going to destroy the entire world with his corrupted friends.

woman from Alaska   October 7th, 2008 10:51 am ET

would i be called a sexist if I speak my mind as a woman? I think mccain should have made a better pick for his VP, I truly wonde if Sarah Palin is d smartest lady he knows! that says alot about him I would say! Too bad, but I think Sarah palin is just a dumb choice for a guys who claims to put country first.

cjr   October 7th, 2008 10:51 am ET

sarah - Obama was 8 years old during Bill's activity. Let's talk about little John's Keating scandel - my family lost a ton of money in that litte event - mccain was of no help to us - but then let's discuss little john's idea to cut medicare and medicaid. check out WSJ this morning. also discuss litttle johns pet name for cindy. Begins with a c - little john's brouther thinks that everyone living in Virgina is a communist. McCain/Bush - no diffrence.

You need to go back to Alaska - I think your minister wants to drive the witches out of you again!

Tara   October 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

This is the first time I have been actually afraid, I mean really afraid about Presidential Candidates. Even though I new Bush was an idiot and in his own way dangerous. I never had this bad feeling at the pit of my stomach. PLease Please go and read Dana Millbanks article today in Washington Post entitled "Unleashed, Palin Makes a Pit Bull Look Tame". Palin and McCain are very scary and at this point I fear for Sen. Obama's Life. They are taking hate mongering to the 10th degree. Has anyone noticed that there are absolutly no minorities, black hispanic or what ever in any of their crowds. Especially Sara Palin. We thought Obama's following was cultish… this is really cultish and very scary. !!!

Victor   October 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

You know Sarah, if you hadn't of opened your big mouth, attacking Obama, they wouldn't have reopened this Keating mess. You had to cross the line and you opened the hornet's nest.

What a dumb ball of fluff.

John, Austin, TX   October 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

i don't get it. why are people showing up to these events? it is pretty clear that all they are selling is hate and lies- but then again, that's what the GOP is all about. and of course fox news is acting like they are legit journalists and reporting about ayers.

NO MORE HATE!! NO MORE LIES!!
FOCUS ON THE ISSUES!!

DebM, Allentown, PA   October 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

Hello CNN??? Why am I in moderation?

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

McCain and Palin are detrimental to the health and welfare of this once great country. Over the last several weeks, they have proven themselves to be morally and ethically bankrupt.

And now Palin, and to a degree McCain are stoking the fires of hatred with their unsubstantiated accusations about Obama. One of their right-wing nutjob supporters will more than certainly consider it his patriotic duty to try to take out Obama. And when that happens, I hope and pray for two things. One, that he is unsuccessful, and two, that Palin and McCain are accused of conspiracy to commit mrdr.

Kim   October 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

Mavericks? I don't think so unless mavericks help the Keating 5, mavericks lie about the bridge to nowhere, and mavericks think we've 'turned the page' on the economy. Just remember the famous line from "Top Gun" when Maverick wanted to buzz the tower: NEGATIVE, GHOST RIDER, THE PATTERN IS FULL!!!! Go O and Joe!!

Darryl   October 7th, 2008 10:50 am ET

What about her affair with Todd Palin Business Partner Scott Alan Richter, She is next on Senator John McCain list…..

Such a shame….

Molly KC   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Hey CNN, I’m reading on a lot of websites (including yours) that people are yelling “kill him” and “Terrorist” at McCain-Palin rallies in reference to Obama. Is this true or are people just trying to create a false issue?

Candy West Virginia   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

If you republican supporters of mccain/palin knew how you were being played by them and the rnc you would be appalled. Check out some of their lies, do some research if you dare. mccain and palin have been proven pathological liars.

A CANUCK   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

In any other democracy the Repupublicans wouldn't have achance in hell of being re-elected after the mess they have made….it all comes down to loyal voters wearing blinders !!!!!

PALIN MAKES A BETTER ATTACK MOOSE THAN AN ACADEMIC WITH ANSWERS TO OUR PORBLEMS….

A-Man   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

FELLOW REPUBLICANS do our party a favor and send Palin back under the rock she came from. McCain who I once respected so much has not ran this campaign, he has let the Carl Rove's run it, as he will let the Bush back people run the gov't. Time for us republicans to rebuild our once proud party by sending a message that will rid us of the likes of a joke like Palin forever. She plans to be our next representative, she has not got the brain to run any thing other then Alaska with its oil. Even Chavez can run Venezuela in times of high oil prices. She is an airhead and makes a joke of all of us. I NEVER dreamed I would live to the day that I would vote Democratic, but I, our party, and our country cannot take 4 more years of this crap.

Alberto   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Sarah and McCain do not seem to understand that the United States needs a change, and they are not part of it. It is time for the Hispanic community to support this change and support Obama. Sarah has not even address once the Hispanic community and we cannot be ignore, we are Americans too.

Sam   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

McCain and Palin are going to lose this election. They are desparate fools and they look down right crazy.

They are sore losers and they have caused their own downfall. Palin is a disgrace to intelligent woman all over the country, especially, when it comes to political ladies like Condoleezza Rice and Hilliary Clinton.

This country is ready for a change and a change it is we need. When pocketbooks are hit, a change is coming!

southcarolinadem   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

CNN why do you never post anything I write? Why is Palin out there trying to link Senator Obama to William Ayers when every newspaper has shown that the link between the two is SLIM AT BEST. They served on a charitable board together and live in the same neighborhood .WOW they must be best friends and "pal around" all the time. Wasn't Saras husband Todd a member of a political group who wanted to seceed from the US? If she loved America so much like she says she does why didn't she leave him for his extremist views? Also, do you think that a woman who had a preacher who specialises in running "witches" out of their villages in Africa, who laid hands on her and prayed to keep her safe from witchcraft talk about anyone elses preacher, I mean EX-PREACHER? Come on people, WAKE UP, SHE IS GEORGE BUSH IN PANTYHOSE.

Flageek   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

What was on the feed but not reported on CNN was that the Lee County Sheriff (Michael Scott) showed up in uniform, gave and partisan political speech. Through all of this he was hand saluting the Next Vice President of the United States. One question, does that mean that Lee County (Fort Myers and environs) "Officially" supports the Republicans and will use everyone tax money to make sure the election comes out right?

It's one of the reasons your are NOT supposed to be in uniform when you do things like this. And, was he on the taxpayer's dime? Curiously, neither the Governor nor Mel Martinez saw nothing wrong with this.

Well it looks like there's going to more fun for the land of the "hanging chad."

LB   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

In a way you have to almost feel sorry for Palin. She doesn't even realize what most people think about her. In her mind she thinks people like her and think she's funny. Most people think she's just a joke. American people do not want a comedian for the VP of the United States. She just doesn't understand this, it just further shows how unintelligent she is about the lower 48 states. She makes fun of the fact that she doesn't know the names of any newspaper or magazine publications. Does she not see how dumb that makes her look. I also find it insulting that she compares me a working mother and soccer mom to herself. Just because we are not Governors or such does not mean we are uneducated and have no common sense like her.

Carter/Biden '08

jAYjAY   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Palin is trying to be Dickless Cheney with the knowledge or experience.
this will all backfire because she has not built herself up enough to attack as hard as she does.
Her words ring hollow except to the far right fringes of the republican base.

Debbie Black   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Why is it that those who claim to be Christians are always the most hateful and advocats the advocates of lying to get what you want.

I think the Democrats should show the video of Sara Palin being healed by a preacher in her own church, praying that witches won't get her. She has the nerve to question anyone else's beliefs, when she believes in witches and voodo. She questions other people's patriotism, when her husband belongs to a group that wants Alaska to
seperate themselves from America.

She calls into question Barack Obama's voting record and tries to castrate him, when John McCain voted the same way on the same question.

This campaign has lost all decency and honor and is fast becoming irrelevent to the people. Everyone needs to stop the name calling, fear mongering, and lying and get down to the business of solving this Nations very serious problems. We don't need more fear and hate.

Sarah the Clown   October 7th, 2008 10:49 am ET

For those who call Obama a liar, tell us what do you really know about Palin? I have double checked everything she has said and none of it has panned out to be fact. Just because you want to be a butt for the GOP, don't expect the rest of us to buy into your radical, religious, right maniacs. McCain is a old liar, Sarah is the liar in pumps…

Andre   October 7th, 2008 10:48 am ET

Welcome to 1976, all over again…. An unpopular war, an unpopular, corrupt presidency, the economy is in the tank, gas is through the roof and Americans are more polarized than ever….

Hate to break it to everyone but it will not matter one iota who gets elected in November. It will be a 1-term presidency, regardless. I wish all the best to the poor soul who's going to inherit this mess and actually think they can do anything about it. We are collectively "screwed" for the next several years, whether Obama or McCain is elected.

diemail   October 7th, 2008 10:48 am ET

Sarah yes we can understand why Obama is your main issue. He is young and gifted. Even your old man is looking after him using him a his last chance getting elavated. Maybe Thomas Muthee whichcraft can help you again.

coli   October 7th, 2008 10:48 am ET

CNN - Why are you not focusing on how Palin's remarks are so out of line, and that they are inciting crazy people out there to say things such as KILL HIM, ETC. How can we stop these attacks!!!! They should be against the law. However, since there are not, let the voters send a STRONG SIGNAL to the McCain Camp that these type of attacks will NOT BE TOLERATED!!!! WE MUST STOP THEM NOW..TALK ABOUT UNPATRIOTIC!!!

David   October 7th, 2008 10:48 am ET

Not the same GOP anymore.

- Whipping crowds up into a violent frenzy
- Crowds at Palin's rally attacking reporters, hurling racial slurs at African-American media at rallies

Not very presidential at all. This independent voter has had enough. McCain has compromised any dignity he has left at the cost of trying to win the Whitehouse.

Shameful.

Ted:Canada   October 7th, 2008 10:48 am ET

IT IS INCREDIBLE!

It is a mystery to us in CANADA and around the free world that even after 8 years of the Bush Republicans literally derailing their own people by imposing on them record setting DEBT, UNEMPLOYMENT and WORLD DISTANE that anyone would vote “Republican” for four more years.

It goes against common sense, intelligence and even democracy!

A vote for McCain = equals self inflicted suicide!

Democrats help your country get back on track. BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

UGH   October 7th, 2008 10:48 am ET

Raymond Duke   October 7th, 2008 10:43 am ET

She is doing a good job. Too bad she is not the presidential canidate for the republicans. She does not care to tell the truth and take Obama and the liberal media on. She tells it like it is a the liberal media calls her a racist for calling out Obama on his Ayers ties. The problem in this country is that the media has painted anybody who takes on Obama as a racist. Through political correctness in this country you can talk any way you want to a white person but if they are black you better put them on a pedestial and do not say anything that could be construed as offensive. You do not have to call people names to let them know they are worthless and a blight on society. McCain needs to get as tough as Palin and not worry about the media because they are in the tank for Obama as are the blacks. Do not waste your time on either. Both or lost causes.

Ambrose Smith, Borrego Springs, California   October 7th, 2008 10:43 am ET

Thanks McCain, for choosing Palin.

She didn't turn out so hot did she?

Should've chosen more carefully!

Pawlenty would have been a better choice. Or Romney.

You blew it!

THANKS!

juliana   October 7th, 2008 10:43 am ET

I am a Canadian watching CNN live and Gov. Palin is saying she is making the case for Mccain. My question is cann't he make the case himsel? Is she running for the president or Mccain? and also she accused Obama living in the past. isn't she who brought up something from the past this weekend? Who is she kidding? Please, Americans are smarter than that. i am a women and i feel sorry that she is being used by Mccain and his people. By the way i am independent and i don't support anyone.

Kelby from Houston, TX   October 7th, 2008 10:43 am ET

In order for Biden to have won the debate, he had a litany of objectives to complete. He can't be cocky. He can't directly challenge her. He has to use small words so his opponent doesn't get too lost.
All Palin had to do was not make a total buttock of herself.
Both accomplished their goals and you call it a wash?
Biden won the debate because his opponent didn't answer the questions and told us she wasn't going to.

By the way, My previous request still stands. Please tell me the lies Obama has told and BE SPECIFIC. otherwise

VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS

Hey Sarah,
Remember those 10 little lessons we all were taught? Like, "Thou shall not bear false witness."?
and for McCain, "Thou shall not commit adultery."
I think maybe Johnny boy and Ms Palin have put the idol of power above the God of peace and kindness. OOPS there's another one you've disobeyed.

People at your rallys have been saying things like "Kill him!" and attacking the press for doing their job. You have caused this.
Some Christian you are. You disgust me.

HK   October 7th, 2008 10:42 am ET

The Republicans are complaining that the media is slanted toward the Dems….yet, both of Palin's entire Florida speeches have been covered the last two days…..let's get fair! We're tired of her repetition, doggone it! (and her negative comments–you betcha!)

Say it ain't so Sarah!   October 7th, 2008 10:42 am ET

And… try and tell the truth! You believe in witch doctors, you believe the earth is 6K yrs. old, you believe that we are on a mission from God in Iraq, you want to separate Alaska from America…..

Ayers was never convicted of anything, Keating was! We seem to forget that.

Obama 08   October 7th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Palin stop listening to McBush grandma and use your own brain.
Oh sorry I forgot, you don't have one.

Hispanic Woman Voter   October 7th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Palin is an foolish lady!!! For all those who support McCain/Palin…wake up!!! She is lying about everything she said in that speech…Don't you see the only crooks and liars in this campaign is McCain/Palin..they don't have anything to bring and yet they make up lies about Barack. How pathetic McCain/Palin are and to the point they have go so low..low…low..they are scum..they are worthless and evil people with no morals. For Lee, your comment is ill informed!! Check your facts..

I can't wait until the results of Palin's investigation reveal that she abused her power in Alaska. I also don't understand why the media is not widely reporting the fact that she and her husband belonged to a separatist group in Alaska for many years.

This horrible woman has the audacity to say Senator Obama was "palling around" with terrorists.

What about her witch hunting pastor that was driving women out of cities in Kenya? Is that not a domestic terrorist?

And what about that Alaska Separatist Party she and the First Dude embraced not that long ago in the past. Seceded from the United States? How unamerican and dangerous.

Dangerous woman who thinks she is above the law.

Dangerous for America. A terrifying future if she becomes one heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Regretfully, with these personal attacks, McCain's history of adultery (the ultimate flip flop) will come back to haunt him-and, does he not remember the Bush-Rove tactics in S.C. back in 2000? Or does he think they are still the winning ones?

Love the Sarah Palin show this morning. I had to switch to Dora the Explorer. At least it was more intelligent. The media is pandering so much to the right that it sickens me. It's gettting harder and harder to tell all the news outlets from Fox (Faux News). Good job. Republicans have got you all running scared with their tired old "liberal media" crap.

The Other Campaign Strategist from 115th & Amsterdam   October 7th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Ok -

Time to deploy Hillary & Bill on a bus tour through Appalachia over the next 4 weeks. …hit rural PA, rural Ohio, rural VA, West VA, rural Indiana.

Al Gore, we need you in Florida.

Joe Biden … come back after you've handled family matters.

Bob Virginia   October 7th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Think the soccer fields of Alaska, will soon see Sarah's return. What could Mr Mc Cain have been thinking when he picked her!

FLDem   October 7th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Don't bother, Sarah. Florida is going for Obama this year!
Obama-Biden 08!!!!

Thebe   October 7th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Another Terror Rally.

Palin [hearts] hate speech.

BS not Maverick   October 7th, 2008 10:26 am ET

Save those gloves girlfriend, cause your gonna need them in Alaska!

VICTORY   October 7th, 2008 10:26 am ET

You are sorry and will be going back to Alaska on a moose.

Lee   October 7th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Sarah ROCKS!!!!!
nobama has lied the entire campaign. Chicago style politics and crooks in government will not win this election.

G-man   October 7th, 2008 10:24 am ET

Mavericks for Obama/Biden!

Chuck   October 7th, 2008 10:24 am ET

Palin is in for a rude awakening when she realizes that she was part of the factor that brought the republican party down. Her negativism is so un-christian that even her "GOD" would be angry.
