TAMPA, Florida (CNN) – Ensuring that news of the Republican National Committee's sartorial spending spree will remain in the headlines for at least one more news cycle, Sarah Palin on Sunday sounded off on the $150,000 wardrobe that was purchased for her in September, denouncing the report as "ridiculous" and declaring emphatically: "Those clothes, they are not my property."
A senior adviser to John McCain told CNN's Dana Bash that the comments about her wardrobe "were not the remarks we sent to her plane this morning." Palin did not discuss the wardrobe story at her rally in Kissimmee later in the day.
But in Tampa, Palin happily broached the clothing issue after being introduced by "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who accused Palin's opponents of being "fixated on her wardrobe" and "deliberately sexist."
That opened the door for Palin to weigh in on a topic that has frustrated the candidate and her advisers since the story first broke five days ago.
"This whole thing with the wardrobe, you know I have tried to just ignore it because it is so ridiculous, but I am glad now that Elisabeth brought it up, cause it gives me an opportunity without the filter of the media to get to tell you the whole clothes thing," she said.
"Those clothes, they are not my property. Just like the lighting and the staging and everything else that the RNC purchased, I'm not taking them with me. I am back to wearing my own clothes from my favorite consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska. You'd think - not that I would even have to address the issue because, as Elisabeth is suggesting, the double standard here it's - gosh, we don't even want to waste our time."
Palin, however, forged on.
"I am glad, though, that she brought up accessories also. Let me tell you a little bit about a couple of accessories, didn't think that we would be talking about it, but my earrings - I see a Native Americans for Palin poster," she said. "These are beaded earrings from Todd's mom who is a Yupik Eskimo up in Alaska, Native American, Native Alaskan.
"And my wedding ring, it's in Todd's pocket, 'cause it hurts sometimes when I shake hands and it gets squished," she continued. "A $35 wedding ring from Hawaii that I bought myself and 'cause I always thought with my ring it's not what it's made of, it's what it represents, and 20 years later, happy to wear it. And then finally the other accessory, you bet I'm a gold - I'm a blue star mom. I'm wearing this in honor of my son who is fighting over in Iraq right now defending all of you."
After spending four minutes on the shopping escapade, Palin switched gears and trained her sights on Barack Obama, who, she said, is prematurely measuring the White House drapes.
"Barack Obama and I, we both have spent quite some time on the basketball court," she said. "But where I come from, you have to win the game before you start cutting down the nets."
Palin accused the Democrat of renting a stadium for a victory party on November 4.
That's actually not the case - Obama's rally on election night will be held outdoors in Grant Park in downtown Chicago.
"They've overlooked though the minor detail of earning your confidence and your trust and winning your votes," she said.

George Bush killed the Republican Party and Sarah Palin is nailing its coffin. Happy Halloween everyone!!
She thinks the story is ridiculous – yet she keeps it going for yet another day? I'm pleased that she's pretty confident she'll be back to her consignment clothes in Alaska – indicates that she knows she will not be VP elect in a couple of weeks time.
Wow...150k on a cloth? Can you blame her to get something out off a losing campaign????
How many hockey moms out there get $150000 to buy clothes? Maybe joe the plumber's wife or joe six pack girlfriend...hypocrites
What a moron. She is a disgrace to America to even think she should be in any political position requiring any amount of intelligence. She claims Katy Couric offended her with questions but a simple one like what do you read couldn't be answered.
The press are gutless they've kept the truth about Palin away from the people. The AIP, the pipe line scandal, the witch doctor in her crazy church etc. etc.
Than if the clothes are "just not me"...who is/was Sarah pretending to be with the clothes? I thought it was all about "cleaning" up Washington? If that is the case, than why doesn't Sarah just wear her consignment shop clothes? I would have ssoooooo much more respect for her if she was truly herself, rather than ?????
Oh no!!! Not another one. 2 DUMMIES on 1 stage. WHAT A DISASTER.
Revenge of the bimbos. And this is the campaign for our highest office? Where is Paris Hilton?
Elizabeth need to be kick off the view she is awful that why I dont look at the view because of elizabeth she call Obama kool aid,,,,Elizabeth is a racist.........McCain/Palin will get anybody to rally with them why are they still bringing Joe the plumber up and he's not a plumber and owe taxes.
Vote early for Obama/Biden 08
If you think it is such a non-issue, then why constantly bring it up? And there is absolutely NOTHING that elizawitch could say that would ever make me feel anything but sorry for her kids having to grow up with such a narrow-minded ignorant bubble brained mother.
I'm just wondering... since she was nominated for Vice President, has Palin said a single thing that is true?
Lee
McCain/Palin. I'm not sure whether they are just confused, or suffereing from ADD. Either way, there is no way possible that I would want these people in the White House if this wardrobe craziness is indicative of the way they would lead the country.
Now I understand that they have returned 1/3 of the clothes, claiming they didn't fit. I can't wait to see what new nutiness crops up with McCampaign Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday...
Really need to go back to Alaska. She's not a representative for all women. It will take me 3 years to make what was spent on our wardrobe. Buy for (4) years of college for one son, and have some left over to keep other son. Please go back to Alaska......
Of course they are her clothes, they just got caught so now they are lying to the public, as usual. Unfortunately, you cannot believe anything that comes out of Republicans' mouths. Most of the postive stuff in McCain's speeches, he has taken from Barack or Biden. That last line of his to fight on, stand up, he got from Biden whose father always told him Champ you gotta get up! It is too bad that people want to run a country who profess morals and ethics, yet have none. Christ said you will know them by their fruits, and their fruit is rotten to the core.
Palin need to forget it. She will never be a Vice-President for this Country. She probably would be elected to a hockey team. We are not going to take care of her children and grandchildren. Expecially the one with the down syndrome.
Is native american the same thing as an eskimo?
"because it is so ridiculous" Yes, you not even blinking when asked to be V.P. is also so ridiculous, as is Senator McCain asking you to be V.P. without proper vetting. It IS ridiculous that someone would vote for candidates who encourage others to ignore subpoenas. It is so ridiculous that anyone would ask you to be V.P. when you didn't even utilize and trust our system of government and the laws of our land to resolve a small, personal crisis, let alone the much bigger issues are country is facing. It is SO ridiculous that you were ever elected governor, since you hired high school friends with no qualification while firing ones that had them and let your husband, an unelected official, run the governor's office over 50% of the time. Why isn't it ridiculous that you call yourself a Christian and the repeatedly lie, distort facts and smear your opponents in the most reprehensible fashion and yet Christians still vote for you? The Bible says you will know a Christian by the fruit they bear. Your fruit Gov. Palin is rotten to the core and you will be held accountable either here or the hereafter.
The reality of the matter is that mant of the GOP donor are hard working people and to see their money thrown into the trash on a wardrobe when many of them are receiving foreclosure notices PISSES alot of folks off and rightfully so.
Palin would be very stand-offish is put in any office. I hope the Alaskan people see her for who she really is now and send her packing when her term is up!!!
I soooo intensely dislike Palin. She is the most deceitful and amoral politician I have ever seen! It pains me to see her in a position where an INTELLIGENT woman should be. Finally the Republicans nominate a woman and she happens to be the most stupid in the party! Very disappointed.
Hey! Eliza Doolittle, please speak the truth and stay focused on the political subject matter, namely, the issues that are important to the American electorate.
Stop attacking your opponents and start talking about the issues. Please expand your sentence structure instead of using just a noun, a verb and Obama.
OH SHUT UP, LIARS
How's the re-call movement going in Alaska to get this airhead out of the public eye?
Right. And the Saks and Nieman Marcus clothes for her husband and kids – now that she's been busted, will they give those back too?
smart people will vote for barack. she's a moron.
Whether or not the clothes belong to her, anyone who watches "What Not to Wear" knows that a wardrobe can be replaced very well for a mere $5000. Profligate spending of donors' dollars when the campaign is short on money is the real issue.
And there was no explanation for how she ended up wearing a scarf that urged people to vote democratic in Reno last week. Too funny!!
I bet if it was Senator Obama or he's wife spending $150,000 for a wardrobe McCain/Palin would be all over it. In a way Palin got a bargain. Just look at Cindy McCain just one of her outfits and accessories cost twice as much.
Thanks for keeping in the news you airheads!
America beware!
McCain and Palin have been telling many falsehoods within the past 48 hours.
1) McCain said that Obama has started writing his inaugural speech – Obama HAS NOT.
2) Palin said Obama has rented a stadium – Obama HAS NOT.
3) McCain and Palin say that Obama will raise taxes – Obama WILL NOT.
The list goes on and on. McCain and Palin DO NOT tell the truth when they talk.
Vote Obama-Biden!!!
and send McCain back to Arizona and Palin back to Alaska!
No, its $150,000 in clothes, and another $25K a WEEK on makeup.
Normally, I could care less that Sarah Palin or anyone else for that matter spent $150,000 on their wardrobe. It is pathetic in this financial crisis. However, in Ms. Palin's situation, she has been hopping all over the USA tooting her own horn that she represents the hard working Walmart shopping "real" America.
Her so called "real" America has never seen the likes of Saks Fifth Avenue or Neiman Marcus and if they have, they certainly did not buy a new suit.
Once again, she created her own fiasco and then blames the media because it did not go her way. This woman can't run anything. Please see the light people!
I guess she doesn't get it. It's not that the money was spent on the clothes. If it were Cindy McCain, no big deal. However, she's presenting herself as Joe Six Pack and the Joe Six Pack's I know don't shop at Neiman Marcus. They're lucky if they can afford Macy's
TOTAL BS AND LIES from Barbie Palin
You know what? I have to say "wah". I'm so sick of the delusion that Palin lives under that words don't exist to describe it.
She makes my flesh crawl. And then she just flat out lied. Did anyone else catch that? She said he rented a statdium, and that was not true. Let us send here back to Alaska with her ring and earrings, and all the rest of her poppycosh
I'd like to see the price tag on the cloths Michelle Obama is wearing. Also.... how about those $1000 suits Barack is wearing. I don't even understand why this is news. LIBERAL MEDIA.
Neither of them have any idea how 'stupid' they are. For Palin's part, that IS dangerous.
And the $22,000 paid to her stylist for two weeks of work? Does the party get the makeup and hairspray back?
I love how she thinks it's ridiculous to talk about clothes... and then proceeds to talk about clothes. This woman is beyond belief. Anyone who thinks she was a "substitute" for Hillary is out of their mind. Stop the lies, stop the smears and talk about the ISSUES. I don't care whether Obama has a speech written or is planning to have a party... I want to know what McCain and Palin plan to do to FIX THIS COUNTRY.
Obama and Democrats want our 401K accounts, what’s NEXT
link on 401K-----http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/10/23/would-obama-dems-kill-401k-plans.html
Also want to bring back the fairness doctrine
Google fairness doctrine and nm senator
Not her property? Does she plan on returning them after she loses the election?
Yeah Sarah...We believe you never meant to keep those clothes just like we believe that you opposed the "bridge to nowhere" or just like we believe you had nothing to do with "troopergate" or how bout just like we believe Katie Couric was a "meanie" to ask you about your foreign policy experience. We also believe that you have hidden genious in you waiting to get out. If only the media filter allowed your genious to shine through. HAHAHAHA
So it was a fantasy or did you go and buy the stuff???
I'd love to know why they can't seem to understand that the problem is NOT with the clothing, its with the fact that they keep moaning about earmarks, then went and spent a bunch of money on small stuff that means nothing.
The Reps aren't living up to their own claims.
This is just getting pitiful! She knows she loved the 150K shoping spree. She is the only hockey mom in the world strutting around in Valentino and Manolo Blahnik's! Is this the VP or a cast member of Sex in the City!
Palin is so full of S$%+ that is is not even a joke anymore. This creature is getting so full of herself that she believes every lie that leaves her mouth. May the Lord have mercy on us if we elect any ticket with her on it.
Vote!! Forget about all of the 'talk' that gets us away from issues that will affect our lives. Vote, vote early. Do you really want Gov. Palin to become your president if something was ot happen to Sen. McCain? I know that I do NOT.
oh ok, so the two bimbow heads are now talking about clothes
mmm they are both brainless
she can not use the words sexist or feminists
she has no clue what they are
these two brainless women want the rest of us to go back to 1910
are yu kidding me,,,,,,,,,,,, they are a joke
here come mcbush circus to town
This woman is the biggest joke I've seen around politics in decades. The fact that she could become President of the United States is downright terrifying.
I really hope they lose and she goes into a hole and we never see her again.
When isn't Sarah Palin annoyed
Palin was not on top of things. She let them dress her like a doll and in the end it hurt her image. Palin needs to watch out for herself now.
Mccain stinks like a loser. She needs to pull away before the smell stains Palin too deeply. She needs to start thinking of Mccain as a skunk. She needs to not be seen with him anymore.
If we are going to get into a debate about clothing, accessories and other "material things", then lets find out if Obama and his wife actually purchased their SUV's? I dont care if they are hybrids or not, but did he actually use his own money for them? What about his expensive tailored suits? Did he buy them? Come'on media wizards! Lets focus on issues that really matter, like how this country will "change" for the worst if Obama is elected! One of these days, all of you libs out there will regret voting this man in when you see you own finances go belly up! Use commen sense! Dont vote for a guy who will ruin this country! Yoou are all smarter than that, I hope!
Good Lord! tHIS WOMAN IS A NUT JOB!
It was your own party that put out the release of your clothes. By the way you bought stuff for the kids and the dude. So is your own party lying?
PLEASE! Can this woman talk about anything relevant? What about the economy...oh wait she knows nothing about it so she spends the whole time talking about sexism and clothes. Can't wait till this is over and I don't have to hear from this woman ever again!
$150,000 on clothes? When did that happen? Is this a joke?
Meanwhile, the US launches an attack in Syria. Probably they had actionable intelligence and Syria was unable or unwilling to act, so we did. Thank goodness the Obama doctrine is now US policy. Is Obama advising the Bush administration on national security. I hear that it is true.
Come on bimbos, can't you idiots see what it looks like from our point of view. The Republican accounting to the Federal Election Commission states that you went on a spending spree of clothes and make-up for $150,000!!! The AVERAGE family income is around $50,000/yr. Think about it. Think about it.
Obama/Biden '08
Ask Hillary how she gets her clothes, donated at $6,500 per outfitt. Whixh is illegal as HELL. At least the RNC bought them legally
Bimbo and Barbie .... omg, like, are they serious?
Ewww.......immature, arrogant, holier-than-thou Elizabeth along with self-proclaimed God's little sister Sarah. When will this vaudeville act be over?
Even if the clothes aren't yours, it's hard for us every day folk who are struggling paycheck to paycheck to stomach the amount spent on you to look good, especially the $12,000 on make-up alone in one month!!
Clothes don't make the VP. As soon as you and your twit of a sidekick open your mouths, you both show how ignorant and unprofessional you are. No matter what the party affiliation, these two are a total disgrace to this election.
What is ridiculous is that they chose to shop for her at these high end stores - what they couldn't send a personal shopper to some outlet stores where most of America shops.
Second, why as govenor didn't she have some better wardrobe choices in the first place.
Third, she's only crying this because she was caught in the cookie jar. Just as she was with flying her kids all over at Alaska's expense.
My goodness, she is wrong again...Obama's victory party is at an outdoor park. Regardless if the clothes were brought by the RNC, she still opted to wear them. I'm sure she noticed the price tag or recognized the designer name before putting them on. Now that's what I call a double standard and ridiculous. Especially from someone who claims there are common day people.
"like the staging and lighting"..... WHAT A LIE... I'll bet if anyone went back over bews footage they'll find this lying fool has word the "convention" outfits again.... and even if it were true then why make a big deal about the columns for Obama's set? They make more sense that dressing up this lying pig and smearing on lipstick.
LIES LIES LIES
Ah. Now I respect her that much more, after leaving such a coherent, logical, intellectually-tinged explanation! The public's ire regarding this over-expenditure is not only directed at her, but her managers. It is the Republican machine that takes this pedestrian minor politician and tries to make her into the belle of the ball.
Will someone please get these dumb diva's off the political stage?
As a woman, I am tired of people using the sexim card for asking legitmate questions. The RNC broke the FEC rule in buying clothes for Palin. You cannot use campagin money for personal usesuch as buying clothes.
ouch, but those clothes are you...in fact so much so that they represent everything gop stands for, elitism and base emotional control of dangerous mob mentality.
its always true that to control the world you must control the mob. good job on that follower of Ceasar.
still doesn't address the fact that the highest paid staffer was her stylist, maybe if they spent more money on an economic adviser they wouldn't be 10 points down.
I agree this is an outrageous amount to spend on clothes. That is the issues of who is elitist. Of course the important issues is that the campaign paid for her clothes at tax payers expense. The RNC gets most of its money from tax payers (donars) so that makes this expense even more of an issue.
That said, it is always over board the attention that is paid to women and their clothes. no one is paying attention to men's particularly. Most compaigns pay for their own clothes.
Wow kimb54,that's a whole lot deeper than you can expect Sarah to
understand.Maybe if you just mentioned her shoes or how much she paid for the red leather jacket from the Thriller video,then"you betcha",
she would have got it.
Whatever. They get on my nerves with this crap. They want to call Sarah Palin "Hot" one moment then scream out "Sexist!!" the next.
Pick one losers.
So – Who's whineing now? Sarah, read my lips, "I'ts OVER". GO OBAMA, GO BIDEN, VOTE EARLY, make sure your vote is counted, can't trust those Reps not to steal this election, they will if you let them.
The exorbitant clothes budget is an issue because of the hypocrisy from the party that attacked Edwards for his $400 haircut. So, Sarah's clothes, including the expensive accessories for her kids, along with McCain's $700 shoes should be an issue. Until Republican's learn such things are not issues, they need to have their double standard shoved in their face whenever possible.
looks like Palin is the Douche and McCain is the turd. i wonder how many votes McCain lost 3 weeks after picking Palin for vice president...
Sarah, your aides are correct in calling you a diva. You are, in fact, a diva in a sharp, sharp dive. Even the Anchorage paper has abandoned you in your quest for an office you are in NO WAY equipped to hold.
It's nice of Elisabeth to hold your hand, though.
It's not a double standard at all. The problem is that the RNC paid for these clothes, which they DO NOT pay for the men nor did the DNC pay for Hillary Clinton's. If I were a donor I would be upset.. They paid more for her makeup then for McCain's foreign policy advisor! I mean come on.
That woman is George Bush in drag. The more McCain tries to distance himself from Bush the more Palin sounds like him! I can't believe anyone takes her seriously.
Too much stupid Democrats here
GRASPING FOR STRAWS. If she is such a hockey mom and a pitbull with lipstick, she would have said NO, I will not wear those clothes you bought for me, my clothes are just fine thank you very much. But it is clearly evident that she did wear those clothes numerous times because what hockey mom wears a silk tailored suit... and those suits she is wearing most certainly would not come from a thrift shop up in Alaska where there are more men that women. GIVE ME A BREAK. She is a disgrace to women everywhere who have fought for equality. You don't say you are tough and can take anything and then try to use the female card when things don't seem to be going your way. You are pathetic Sarah Palin and you are not a role model except to those who are pathelogical like you.
Oh... OK.
So the RNC wanted to just give the impression that your family was the type that would buy their little daughter a Gucci bag? Thanks for clearing that up Sarah.
If you don't have anything true to say, do us a favor and don't say anything at all!
Eizabeth WHO??????????
Sounds to me that the blame game has begun.
Palin, WHO is.......TRANSCANADA Corp?
Why is it when Palin is questioned by ANY Democrat, the voters, the media or her own party the Republican….SHE yells sexist, if they ask her a question that a NORMAL woman wouldn't mind answering!!!!!!!! The FACT is MOST of us CAN’T afford to shop for NEW cloths at Wal-Mart or Kmart and she found nothing WRONG with wearing these cloths KNOWING they were EXPENSIVE. I am a female and WE don’t get a new wardrobe WITHOUT inquiring about how much they cost and what NAME brand are they. DO she KNOW what TELLING the TRUTH is??????????????
McCain you made a BADDDDDDDD pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glitter Girl, actually it is. A lot of Indians don't care for the term, however. Anyone born in this country is a Native American. This is name coined by the American Government... just as the term Indian. Well, we have accepted Indian. A whole lot us perfer First Nations or American Indian. We feel that we deserve to have the American first because we were the first here. First Nations refers to exactly what we are here, the First of the Nations in this land. We are all Americans, but Indians are the only people in this land who have to carry a card to prove how much Indian we are.... sad, but true.
Indians for Obama!
McCain already admitted that the Palin family needed a wardrobe to carryout the image the GOP wanted to feed the public. The pick of Palin was just a stunt. It all adds up... A beauty pagent governor with a degree in journalism. He needed a gimmick to capture the attention of the American people. Well, you got it McCain. I don't like what I see.
what do you expect from the Obama camp.
I think that Sarahs close are very elegant. I know many people that have spent over 200,000 on clothes in one shop so I don't see what the big deal is. When I won the lottery I spent way more than that! Lets focus in on the Subjects people. Sarah Palin will get us out of this mess the democratic congress has gotten us into!
Obama has no experience. Palin lives next to Russia! She knows how to treat foriegn countries! I am going to donate 150,000 to Joe the plumber so that he can go on a shopping spree!
WHO CARES HOW MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT ON CLOTHING! At least she has good taste! GO SARAH . . . I HAVE SOME OF THOSE EARINGS TOO! I LOVE THEM!
$150,000.00 at Neiman Marcus and Saks 5th Avenue for Sarah Palin and her family IS NOT THE ISSUE!
The real issue is WHY SOME OF THAT MONEY WAS NOT USED ON GOP ADVISERS TO BRING SARAH PALIN UP TO "INTERVIEW SPEED?" If 1/10 of that money was used to help Sarah get up to speed on the political, national and international hot-button issues, maybe McCain's team would be leading in the polls.
I am so glad McCain picked Palin...he's making this election so easy for Obama. Fools.
Hey Raizen,
Obama and Biden have stated that they pay for their clothes out of their own pockets.
SHe annoyed to answer questions of relevency but will talk about her clothes, after spending more on clothes than I make in five years as a goverment employee. Will the stupidity never cease out of this woman.
Yep – Who cares. More lies. Why don't you try addressing the issues that concern Americans instead of defending your spending spree. consignments stores my butt!!!
Wonder how much Jackie Kennedy spent on her clothes......Oh, I forgot; that doesn't matter. She was a Democrat!!!!!!
Are McCain and Palin delusional? I can understand McCain having some mental lapses at his age, but does Palin really think that if she keeps repeating the same lies they will come true? Competitive on key states? Annoyed at Katie Couric for not asking her questions about the economy and national security? Did any of the people there not watch the interviews? Do they do the same thing as her and watched it with the volume off? Is this a lost Twilight Zone episode?
Yawn! Why did you allow it to happen. You could have declined that $150k wardrobe as accessive, in the same way you didn't have to bilk Alaska per-diem to live at home, or state funds to take your kids on trips. Jon Stewart was right. These people are GRIFTERS
Even if the clothes are rented, that's $150,000 being used when candidates usually wear their personal wardrobe at no cost.
It's not ridiculous – couldn't this money be better spent on the campaign – but I do wonder why the same attention hasn't been paid to what the other candidates are spending on their wardrobe. It sounds like not all the money wasn't spent on her but also on her family – was that necessary? The McCain campaign has limited funds so it's valid because it shows where the campaign priorities are. The bottom line – Are there other ways this money might have been better spent to help the campaign.
It is a shame the coverage of these two idiots are recieving when people are struggling to provide for their families in these economic conditions. $150,000.00 + for hair, clothes and makeup is just plain over the top. To try and justify the reasoning, insults thinking people's intelligence. But the media plays along with this stupidity therefore, the beat of distraction plays on.
ELIZABETH SHUT UP, YOU ARE A LIAR.
»Interesting news...Aaah!....»I LOVE SARAH PALIN!!SARAH is so WONDERFUL!Oooh!
Wow! I did not know that they are remaking Dumb and Dumber? May be they ought to rename it: "Stupid and Stupider." Is stupider a word? It may not be, but then neither is Palin aka Knuckle Head.
RNC Purchases: No one would have cared if they had purchased 'regular' clothes instead of designer clothes. THAT is the point that seems to be overlooked. It was ill-advised to go to Neimen Marcus and
Saks to purchase expensive items and to pay $22,000 in two weeks for makeup for Ms. Palin. Is there no one in the McCain campaign who thinks clearly? They knew they'd have to put these line items in their reports. Like everything else with McCain's campaign – very poor judgment! They should have just owned up to their mistake and this whole thing would be LONG OVER!
The wardrobe Story would be funny if this wasn't so serious. The media has picked Palin apart, and so has Obama, then Biden gets asked a question they don't like , or wasn't expecting, and they stop all interviews. well BOO-HOO iT'S TIME SOMEBODY STARTED ASKING SOME QUESTIONS. Katie Couric is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and Joy Bahar is an idiot, Barbara Walters is not far behind her.
I know Americians are not stupid enough to elect Obama. They know better
The polls can not be trusted. The dems are always ahead in every election. People will tell you one thing and do another, they won't tell you they won't vote for a black man, nor the media,but election results will
MCCAIN -PALIN 08
The sexist attacks and biased media coverage launched against Sarah Palin is the same as that launched against Hillary Clinton. Not only did the media give up all objectivity when Mr. Obama announced his bid for the Presidency, they have also made it clear that women are not welcome in the White House.
The McCain-Babbling jesus freak campaign is an absolute joke. If McCain wins it will no doubt be yet another stolen election. This time however, many Americans like myself simply won't let it slide. There will be a huge backlash against the government if Barack Obama is not elected. It will be the begining of the end for America as we know it.
CNN you are so in the tank for Obama it's just sad and pathetic you won't even post my positive comments about Sarah Palin-typical. What else should anyone expect from the liberal media trying to help Obama win the election. Too bad it won't work and will fall apart for you. So keep on with all the hype for Obama your network will suffer for it. Great business decision. GO fox news!!!
lol. Palin..hockey mom? or one of those airheads in sex and the city. I think she loves to spend and live big. If she is claiming to be a hocky mom like me, then she should see my wardrope and try and put on my clothes which i get from target and sales.
Palin is very hypocritical.she should start a talk show like her buddy Mike Huckabee on FixNews lol.
If obama wins and is then proven a non citizen ,which is being tested in court ,then what. Obama talked about his birth certificate in his book but can't seem to produce it. Hmmmm
Whether or not the clothes are yours, you are suppose to be the true reformer and outsider who will shake up Washington.
Flying your kids around with you to events and shopping for expensive clothes tell independents that you are just another hypocritical politician.
Talk about the real issues and gives us a plan instead of telling us about your wardrobe and ring.
Palin will not go down quietly.. just watch. She'll blame the lose on McCain and the Republicans for making her look like incompetent and not ready by making her look fragile.
She'll be denouncing John McCain and will be the front runner for President in 2012.
***VOTE***VOTE***VOTE***VOTE**
Sarah looks great. Take care of herself even after having 5 kids. Most women who go after her are fat and ugly. Michelle Obama is hiding something..she's got some junk in her trunk. Plus Elisabeth on The View is the hottest one. Whoopi is butt ugly.
»Interesting news.Sarah Palin=So GREAT!
sarah palin will now become the maverick of the mccain campaign...bucking the campaign's good ole boys in their last strategic move to raise her positives.
A new high-ed wodrobe $150K

Sending Palin the fraud back to Alaska PRICELESS
I just don't see how anyone who is a TRUE AMERICAN can vote for someone who won't even salute the AMERICAN FLAG or say the PLEDGE! You have to be an idiot not to see who the right person is for the job... Obama shouldn't even be a candidate. He doesn't deserve the title. How can you lead the country when you don't respect it? I just don't understand the stupidity you Obama supports have.. I don't understand it at all...
Who cares, Palin need to go back to Alaska. She will probably lose the election the next time she runs for governor since the people of Alaska got to really know her.
They spend just about as much as the far left liberals spend. Who cares? Someone very high up wants Obama elected and is buying the media to not tell the truth. We should all be very afraid of our free speech rights if Obama gets elected as this election has been cencored by the far left from the beginning.
Well all you blood sucking liberals...when the far right stops paying taxes caused by Obama and his nuts and there is no more money to suck from the hard working conservatives becuase you have taxed us to death...hope your savior is there to provide you food, clothing and shelter...oh yes and lets not forget medical care and social security.
Dan in Tx. Watch, "my friend".. you may be surprised at what happens before this election is over! I put nothing past the Republicans... they will do anything to get McCain elected..... trust me, Bush will create a situation just like the Russia/Georgia thing. I think they actually believe that it will point up how much better McCain could handle these situations. It's pathetic! Obama will handle any crisis better than the Republicans! He has the intelligence and the wisdom to do so. And he has History on his side..... He KNOWS it as a college professor knows his subject matter.... inside out! Obama is the man for the job in temperment and intellect!
Keep talking, SPal.
The more you talk, the more that the RNC sinks.
The more you talk, the more Dem voters go out an make sure that you are 4,000 miles away from making ANY decisions for OUR country.
I wish the media gave her MORE airtime. There are not enough imbeciles left in the country that would actually vote for her to make a positive difference in their chances.
Peace.
It's NOT Palin's opponents who are saying ANYthing about her clothes. It's the media and the pundits. Don't go blaming Obama and Biden for things they have no involvement in!
Obama/Biden '08/'12 for ALL of America!
Away to go, Sarah. I finally have the Democrats figured.
Barack Obama is just a Pupet, for Joe Bided... That's why he is making all theses comments about Obama, not being ready anfd going to be tried. Joe Biden Is running for Joe Biden, and the rest of the Dem's... Barack Obama is just the Dummy!
I bet all of that cost less than Barack's faux-temple to himself or using an NFL stadium for his acceptance speech...
Dear Diary,
What a mess Mc Cain has made of this party, Oh no he didn't he invited the most goofy, retarded, and imbecilit clown he could bine. She's like a Goergia Bush.
