CNN

yea and we booed the heck out of her in PHILLY!!!

Well, at least she knows about sports! Is that what the job of the Vice-President is because she still doesn't know.

Sarah Palin is indeed a simpleton. She said she wanted to be a sportscaster but didn't want to move to the east coast. That alone is proof that she's not bright and the way she was taken in by a couple of Canadian pranksters proves that she's not too swift.

She's as dumb as a hockey puck. Has anyone noticed how she says "yes" after every sentence in her speech? "And we're going to drill, YES!" Man that's so annoying.

Pandering to the point they can't keep their lies straight.........LOL

It is appalling how in sincere this ticket has become.

Fake talk express !!!!!!!!!!

Obama / Biden 08

I can give you all kinds of stats on my beloved Twins but that hardly qualifies me for even a local political office, let alone the national/int'l stage. Know your territory, Governor. That being said - let's all root for a Vikings/Bills Superbowl. Finally, one of them will in it!

As a 40 year long republican this year I'm voting for Obama/Biden because McCain sold his soul to the devil Palin–so uneducated!!!
THe republican party has become the party of right wing radicals and skinheads and this NOT my party!!! I even was a republican election judge for 14 years. Sooooo sad to see the republican party going down this very radical track!!!!
God Bless Obama/Biden

I thought the McCain camp didn't like celebrities?

Obama went as far as having an Infobrainwashing stunt before the World Series. Very unAmerican. Very desperate. I'm a Phillies fan that will vote for McCain.

I almost feel sorry for her... almost

She's not really a sports fan in any sense of the word. She merely reads the script that scrolls across the tele-prompter; which was written by professional speech-writers. These writers know which "buttons to push" to get those "feel-good" reactions from locals, to make them feel "special."

Americans, please wake up........Unqualified Palin was a political stunt what she is trying to accomplish.....great acting but this is not Hollywood. It's unimaginable to phantom her representing out country in one of the highest positions in the land. Right now we are very vulnerable and they know it! Don't feed into this unqualified sidekick!! I have always been a Republican........not this time...... Obama-Biden has my vote!

palin is a disgrace to the human race.

24 hours and she will blasted into oblivion.

she was booed-whats your point.The woman is a total idiot

I hope she's not really a fan of any of y favorite teams.
Philly went on a 5 game losing streak (maybe more?) starting with the game she dropped the ceremonial first puck for them. Then,
one of the hockey players (in St. Louis I think) was injured right after Palin dropped the ceremonial first puck and they too had diifculty winning.
Now, you throw the Spurs in there and they're off to an 0-2 start.

Hmm, her track record looks to mimic the impression she gave during the Charles Gibson and Katie Couric interviews.

She is a national treasure . Even liberals who meet her , fianlly meet her are impressed , with her guenuine qualities . I am sad that so many African American are voting based on race . They are going to vote for qualities many of them ( christian ) revile . Think , pray before you vote .

SUPERFAN- A VERY large mouthed fan that blows a HUGE amount of false information around for human consumption.

Well someone had to say it....it's only because I just bought a gag gift.. a PALIN 2012 t-shirt..

Just one more example of empty rhetoric politics... and the American people are finally saying enough (as long as they are able to vote – election reform needed!)

Pandering with local sports teams, while spreading falsehoods with no factual basis is not a wining strategy. Scare tactics left over from the Rove era are all they have. If they are distorting the truth now, why does anyone think it will stop after the election? There is an old song, "Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets". The gist of it is that Lola is a very manipulative lady, to whom the ends justifies the means. Not a Presidental quality I want in my candidate.

The Flyers fans were right to BOO this terrible government official. We only boo players who have done poorly or are performing poorly. She is a poorly educated, bordering on ignorant public official who claims that she knows what is right for this country. Well I along with the rest of my philadelphian bretheren whole heartely . . .

BOOOOO!!!!

Puh-lease. I know superfans and you, miss, are no superfan.

Greatest sports fan in the country. Fine. Let her stick with that!
Keep her out of politics and away from anywhere near running our country. Being a fan of sports (even the being the greatest sports fan) is more in her league.

She's trying to win the ESPN demographic.

pander much?

When you can't talk the issues talk sports...that will make people really feel like you are qualified to run the country at a moments notice. So very pathetic. No mention of how much she got boo'ed at the Flyers game I see.

I would like to thank Sarah Palin, as Governor of Alaska, for having awarded the $40B natural gas pipeline contract to TransCanada.

Its nice that Alaska is outsourcing jobs to Canada.

Meet the new soon to be Gerald Dean Ferraro.
And with the up and coming loss, watch the local Alaskan GOP circle the wagons, protect Steven's and hang Palin out to dry.
With this impending loss trooper gate will come back to bite her.

It's amazing...she can name teams and players that not many have heard of but cannot explain one of Bush's (oops, I meant McCain's) policies at a rally, media interview, etc.

She gets setup by a Canadian comedian and makes a complete fool of herself.

It totally boggles the mind. She has not one clue. Not one. Zero. Zilch.

But she still gets on the news. Why? The comedy and drama are somewhat worth it but she gets too much media attention.

Well wasn't she a sportscaster once? Maybe that should be her calling in life.

She's a simpleton.

This is not the kind of person that is needed in a high office such as the V.P. or President.

What happens if she travels abroad, will she make cricket references to the President of India in her speeches?
Is she kidding?

I'm sorry, but even though I'm a registered republican, she would give our Old Party a bad name.
True conservatives are nothing like her.

Condescend much, Mrs. Palin?

A pathetic and hopeless candidate trying to appeal to shallow voters.

A third of the country loves Palin.And a third approves of Bushs job approval.So now Palin is as popular as Bush.Good Luck

Palin's last day on the job. It's time to celebrate. While the country will be celebrating the election of Obama, I will be celebrating her return to the wilderness from which she came.

Wasn't this the woman that was boo'd off the ice at a Philadelphia Flyers hockey match?

Se really needs to get in touch with reality. A lot of people don't like her.

The Sarah Palin lie-a-thon continues right now. She is speaking right now in Lakewood, Ohio telling one lie after another about Obama's tax plan. This is ridiculous. I hope all the lies, divisiveness and smears are not rewarded by the voters.

The truth is that even Todd and Sarah Palin would receive a bigger tax break under Obama's plan than under the McCain plan.

Sarah Palin is the worst Vice Presidential nominee in our country's history. The problem with Palin is that she is as ingnorant as they come.

And your point is??

Sports pandering shows the worst of the worst in all politicians of every party. We should not be the sports-obsessed nation that we are, because it distracts from people focussing on fixing our real problems.

Low density pandering from a low density candidate.

I find it funny how Palin and McCain called out Obama and Biden for flip-flopping and pandering to different opposing sports teams.

Maybe she should look into being a sports announcer she sure as heck is not ready to be a VP. All this hype about palin, I have never got it. All this talk about how great she did at the convention, hell she was reading a prompter it's not like she could come up with her own nasty remarks about Obama. I thought she was a nasty, big mouth loser.

For all you women who keep saying palin speaks for them, you must be crazy. how in the heck can anybody want to realate to this idiot.

Obama/Biden

It is funny to see a picture of Palin at the Flyers game where the cheers for her were drowned out by to boos for her.When you have nithing to say or have any clear answers as to how you will fix all the problems I guess sports is a way out of real issues.

She should spend more time with her daughters because I think they need a mom close to them now than ever,. That is why her oldest chose to steer clear of mon and stayed away from the base.

WOW AND WHEN SHE WAS IN PITTSBURG AREA LAST WEEK SHE ACTUALLY ASK THE CROWD TO GIVE IT UP FOR THE PHILLIES WHO WON THE WORLD SERIES...COME ON PEOPLE...
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012

And is this why the Hockey fans booed her and refuse to have her back to drop the puck? And then she gets her teams mixed up...which is the fault of who ever wrote her speech, because we all know she cannot write a speech. Her slang speaks volume! Nobody cares about a hockey mom or joe the 6 pack. All women knows this and that is why her ratings dropped! GIVE ME A BREAK!! Sarah Palin is a disgrace to women everywhere...she was used due to Hillary! There are a lot of SMART women out here that could overfill her shoes that were not chosen...just comes to show you how erratic McCain is chasing after a skirt, which is a norm for him...just follow his pattern!

No matter who she (SP) pretends to support, it will make no difference on November 4th. She is clearly going to be on the losing ticket then.

Palin is an outsider. One of us.., middle America.

Teleprompters.....putting words into someone's mouth who has no clue about what they are reading, just like Palin has no clue about this country...go back to Alaska! You betcha!

mcain: Fight, Fight, Fight

obama: Unite, Unite, Unite

Mention how she was booed off the ice (for a steady 2+ minutes) by the crowd??? Now that was some funny shizzle. ahahaha. So much for the "hockey mom"... =P

It seems to me that maybe Pailn and the "Maverick" don't understand we don't care what sports she can play or knows.

THE ECONOMY STUPID!

P.S she lost me with seeing RUSSIA from ALASKA

BYE BYE PAILN

WHO CARES!!!!!

The Circus Sidekick! 11/04/08-TheEnd! OB08-16!

Sarah, fess up: you're a Palin fan, first and foremost.

Of course she does, because she has no original intelligent ideas in her head, so all she can do is pander about the irrelevant.

Did she buy her ticket yet? She will need it tuesday. And please do not allow her to ever come back in the real america. Close the bridge...

Obama/Biden 2008 and 2012

But is the vice presidential candidate a sports panderer? Her varying allegiances have left her vulnerable to serious charges of flip-flopping, at least from opposition researchers over at the Democratic National Committee.

You buttheads at CNN are a joke.

Obama is the King of all Flip-Floppers.

200 reporters (including the 3 Major network anchors) followed him around the Mid-East and Europe and somehow ALL of you missed it when he told the Israelis that he supported "Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel", then told the Palestinians exactly the opposite the NEXT DAY in Gaza.

Obama had 'love for the Rays,' after saying in Philidelphia that he was rootin' for the Phillies.

The beat goes on...Thank God for the Internet, where I can research the truth for myself, instead of stupidly relying on the MSM.

Here's a question – 'Where were you five and a half years ago? Around Christmas, 2002. You've had five or six birthdays in that time. My son has grown from a sixth grade child to a high school graduate. Five and a half years is a good chunk of time. About 2,000 days. 2,000 nights of sleep. 6,000 meals, give or take.'

John McCain spent that amount of time, from 1967 to 1973, in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp.

When offered early release, he refused it. He considered this offer to be a public relations stunt by his captors, and insisted that those held longer than he should be released first. Did you get that part? He was offered his freedom, and he turned it down. A regimen of beatings and torture began.

Do you possess such strength of character? Locked in a filthy cell in a foreign country, would you turn down your own freedom in favor of your fellow man? I submit that's a quality of character that is rarely found, and for me, this singular act defines John McCain.

Sarah Palin really "scares" me ! Satan also will say anything to get your soul..and McCain is still living in the past, saying my fellow "prisnors" etc, only Obama shows good judgement, HOPE, and CHANGE, surrounding himself with really knowledgible people, Colin Powell, Warren Buffett, Kenedy, many more, and is a very intrelligent "caring person, with a cool head TOO, and the strength shown already to resist and conquer the evils thrown at him..I do believe he does have a "rightous wind" behind him..No, he of course isnt our Savior, BUT, he is a rightous man, on the right side of GOD, and that shouldnt be taken lightly..
White seniors in TEXAS voting OBAMA

Let me see, first you hatchett her with a poll that INCLUDES Democrats to tilt the figures to meet your agenda (THE REPUBLICANS STILL SUPPORT HER OVERWHELMINGLY) and now this latest little hit piece that tries to make her appear different than any other politician.

Did you post when Obama supported the Phillies and then the next day he supported the Rays, don't bother to answer, YOU DIDN'T.

This is a story but Obama trying to KILL coal as an alternative fuel source is NOT?

How about Obama saying that he will TRIPLE ELECTRICITY PRICES?

Congratulations media, you have done your jobs fooling the people with you brutally BIASED coverage.

Now you will have to spend FOUR YEARS covering up for this EMPTY VESSEL that you have pulled across the finish line.

Hillary was far, far, far better and Palin will be back in 2012 and she won't have a lousy campaign staff holding her back (good job McCain).

This just shows that they have nothing , or do not want to talk about the issues.

great candidate for McCain

Here's one on CNN's level:

So how many games did the Flyers lose after Palin showed up on their ice?

I hope that we'll see the last of her ever this week...

The Sidekick and the Sideshow

Once upon a time there was a circus that featured two very scary act: a Sidekick and a Sideshow. The Sidekick obeyed his master over 90% of the time. Once after a show, the Sidekick got lost on stage. He wandered erractically in front of the announcer, blocking his of the teleprompter!

The Sideshow was the most popular act in the show. Large rowdy crowds came to see her spew fiery words of divisiveness out of her mouth. Eventually the two quit the show and went on the road together. They were never heard from again. 11/04/08-The End!

O B A M A/B I D E N 08-16!

Slipped right into the "old boys club"-the new "guy girl" of the male white power elite conservative-hunting, fishing, sports tracking, truck driving, Las Vegas/Florida vacationing.....-wonder if she also messes around with subordinate staff and hookers?

gimme a friggin break.

why is this news...

Still waiting for Sarah to trot out along side 'Joe the Plumber, her new campaign mascots, 'Ken the Klansman', 'Sam the Skinhead', and 'Bo the Bigot', to improve her standing with the Republican 'Base'.

John, you should have picked Pawlenty, but I'm glad you didn't.

Hopefully most Americans are smarter than this kind of twisted pandering. "We'll take away your choices, we'll take away your rights, we'll send off more of your kids to foolish wars, but go Hoosiers..."

Once a sportscaster, always a sportscaster.

But if all you need to be a VP, which basically means all you need to be a President, is to know the names of the local sports teams and be able to wink at the camera, heck every local TV station has a candidate appearing nightly at six and ten.

Sounds like she has the experience to be president.

Sorry Sarah better get the first dude on her plane and get back to the Alaska where folks really do not care how much money she uses to get her kids around and the first dude can get back to playing in the snow until the big momma needs some dirty work done than she can send him a smoke signal to return home and get him to put the screws on a legitimate employee. You are trying to play in the big leagues now and you do not qualify. Go home and take Mccain with you he is through in the original 48.

Looks like she's still following the strategy tips from the President of France who called her the other day.

wow! no liberal attack dogs yet?

Maybe places with major and with minor league baseball teams are more American in her mind than those unamerican parts of the country.

This woman makes me want to upchuck!

I guess we shouldn't be surprised after McCain tried to anger Philly fans by saying Obama said one thing, then said another.

More lies

What's gonna happen to NASCAR when we run out of gasoline?

Friends, I'll be forthright with you I believe the American voters who are supporting Barack Obama don't have a clue what they're doing, as evidenced by the fact that not one of them – NOT ONE of them I've spoken to can spell out his qualifications. Not even the most liberal media can explain why he should be elected. Political experience? Negligible. Foreign relations? Non-existent. Achievements? Name one. Someone who wants to unite the country? If you haven't read his wife's thesis from Princeton , look it up on the web. This is who's lining up to be our next First Lady? The only thing I can glean from Obama's constant harping about change is that we're in for a lot of new taxes.

"but with the help of a teleprompter"

Come on CNN, all of Obama's prepared statements are read off of the teleprompter! And when he isn;t reading off of a teleprompter, you really get to see how bad of a speaker he really is. "Just words, just speeches." and all from a teleprompter written by someone else.

SARAH PALIN IS SUCH A FAKE! BEING A CHEERLEADER IS MORE OF HER MENTALITY. SHE IS NOT NOW OR EVER WILL SHE BE READY TO TAKE ON SUCH A SERIOUS POSITION IN OUR GOVERNMENT. SHE DIVIDES US AS AMERICANS AND WILL BE DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY IF SHE WERE EVER ELECTED.

Too bad she's not intelligent enough to understand that Pittsburgh citizens are not fans of the Philles. But then again, that's entirely too much nuance for Palin.

Thank God we'll be done listening to her in two days.

Maybe she should learn policies instead of sports stuff. After all if she is elected the polices are what she needs to know and she is so lacking in those.

This woman is a phony as they come and she is more of a Washington politician than either McCain OR Obama ever thought of being. She is exactly the type of politician that caused McCain to break from his party and become the maverick he is so fond of calling himself. Palin would NEVER break from the Republican base. She would NEVER work in a bipartisan manner unless the Republican base was on board with that particular issue.

"Superfan"? You mean she's full of hot air?

Pandering at it's best......makes me sick.

Say whatever do whatever to win. Palin is the worst person to run for public office in terms of knowledge. her prank call shows how she has no clue who the PM of Canada is or where Montreal is. Sad

Maybe one day, she will weave policy details into her stump speech! I have no issue with her using the sports references; male policitians do the same thing. However, she has consistently avoided policy issues except to spout the script given to her by the Bush/Rove operatives running the McCain campaign. Their tatic is no matter what the question is stick to the script!

Might as well be knowledgable about something as it surely isn't national or world affairs.Exactly how much does she know about Canada?Oh wait she got pranked didn't she? But good.

Deep down he wishes he picked Mitt Romney......Sarah Palin (his token female) running mate was a grave mistake and clearly cost him this election.

So much for sound judgement.

Barack the Vote!

Back in moderator limbo again, eh? What, not angry enough? Not superficial enough? Not stupid enough?

The McCain/Palin campaign strategy has always been focused on locking in the stupid vote.

Is your vote a stupid vote?

It's kind of corny to continously do this as if people can't see through it. But the Republican party have long thought Americans are stupid so just throw sports references out there, tell more lies, god bless the USA, end rally, repeat.

Would you like cheese with that??

As a moderate Republicans who do not support Bush-Cheney policies I believe Palin was a bad choice. Certainly she fireup the Neocons who hijacked the Party of Ronald Reagan. But She alienated Moderate or Conservative Democrats who still believe McCain served his country well, who worked along with Opposition Party to find a common ground for American People.

McCain made a bad decision by choosing Palin. He had many good choices such as Tom Ridge or Tim Pawlenty or Mike Huckabe or Mit Romney or Fred Thompson or Charlie Christ...

Sarah Palin should go back to Alaska and never comeback. Like many moderate republican's I believe Palin cost McCain the election.

Please Vote tomorrow people! No matter how long the lines are, we have to elect Barack as our President!

Please vote!

YOUNG PEOPL! – PLEASE GO VOTE! YOU HAVE TO!!

Now if she would only consider studying the US Constitution and VP job descriptions she might get some respect from me....well maybe no respect but I could despise her a little less. She's pathetic!

Well, the media has shoved her down our throats, headlined her
as much as they possibly can they must feel they have done a
good job on trying to make her vp.
Let's not let them get away with it.
Please be prepared to stand in lines while voting and make
our vote count.

What disturbs me is if your only hype is that you tend to refer to the local sports teams to get votes, then that is sad. When the RNC annouced Sarah Palin as McCain's pick, I said it then and I will say it now, stupid, stupid, stupid. The RNC believed the hype of 18 million angry Hillary supporters. It was more like a few thousand. Palin is a horrible choice and she will not even make it throughthe Republican Primaries in 2012. She is a fundalmentalist, she is liar, (well all politicians are liars so I wont hold that against her), she does not have that intangable "it" that you need to be the figure head of this nation, I can't say she is not smart, she is the Governer of Alaska but I can she is not that bright. And last, she is power hungry, we have had a President and Vice President for 8 years just like Sarah Palin and you see where they have us, in one big mess. It is sad because I think that McCain and the RNC gambled away the future of the RNC by choosing her and it will take a disaster by the DNC to lose seats including the Presidency for the foreseeable future.

CNN you should be ashamed.....you are as ugly as the people who support Obama. What is this coming to......HATRED!
Pathetic...

I'M NOT BUYING WHAT SHE'S SELLING. TAKE IT TO ALASKA, THEY'LL BUY IT!

What a joker! The ultimate political panderer will do anything for attention. She is as clueless about sports as she is about economics, foreign policy and the constitution. Time to go home, Sarah!

she can be a sport fan, but that does not mean she can be president. palin needs some work

I wish I were a politician so I could go to Alaska and tell them how much I love to fly around in helicopters and gun down wolves and then slaughter their pups.

From "The One" himself. Coal producing states will be punished heavily for this. I guess he figures it is OK since the workers can always draw extended unemployment and national healthcare.

He said he will BANKRUPT coal companies.. NICE!!! Just the person I want to vote for.

happy to send this one back to Alaska with a one way ticket...she is not even capable of having an original thought. she is the death knell of the McCain campaign

OBAMA/BIDEN

To infinity and Beyond !

It's all well and good until she goes to Erie, PA (near Pittsburgh) and says: how about those world champion phillies?

fairweather sarah

CNN,

Who really cares about Palin being a superfan? Is there nothing worthwhile to write about anymore? Come on! Put her to rest already.

If only she would do as much research on the Constitution of the US instead of the trivia that matters to her.

If only she could discuss law and international relations the with the easy she discusses sports she would be great

Reptilians, do not pay any attention to those polls that show the half-wit viewed negatively by 59% of America.

Please!

By all means, prepare to run Palin in 2012.

Pretty please!

Anything to get a vote.She's such a phoney.Go back to Alaska!!!

really it doesn't matter what she says during her speeches. its all pandering anyway.

McCain WORD means NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Palin said it herself….”THE FINAL DECISION WAS MCCAIN’S”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If either one of these two were the REAL Christians they pretended to be they would not have spread LIES and PROMISING one thing and DOING another. McCain has stump to the LOWEST of any GODLY man we have seen in Politics. Powell could have NOT said it any better. “McCain isn’t the man we NEED for our President”.

Sarah Palin is qualified to be a superfan, just not VP or President.

ROFL the woman proves she's out of touch with American Sports. STARBUCKS is coffee and Stauback was the name of the quarterback. I'm looking forward to the end of this week when this rogue whack job is back in Alaska. I hope she's hit with a subpoena when she steps off the plane in Alaska

One more day then we wont have to listen to the wickedf witch of the wests BS rhetoric.

If this isn't pandering, I don't know what is....

I am still in awe that she is running for one of the highest offices in this country. Absolutely, amazingly unbelievably, incredibly . .. disappointing.

No sensible person would really fall for that rubbish. Funny how she spends figuring out the sports teams but can disclose one detail of their fiscal plan for America. What's John McCain's position on healthcare? How com she doesn't say anything about energy if she's such an 'energy expert' as McCain refers to her. The McPailin campaign is just empty and appeals to the empty headed

Palin Panders....Period.

Im loosing respect for you CNN! More dumb articles and even dumber comments posted! NO ARTICLES ON HER HUSBANDS SEPARETIST GROUP? I guess you cant find anything else of substance either. Ive commented on new arcticles with no comments posted and checked back an hour later to find only 19 comments posted?!? I guess including facts isn't the way to get posted..........................

the woman has a bs in journalism. end of story.

Palin, SHUT UP! Just shut your pie hole. Enough of your corruption, lies, race-baiting and hate rallies. I cannot wait until tomorrow when this witch has to fly back on home on her broomstick.

She is not for Mac...............she is for 2012............what she needs to do is to go back to Alaska for good and spend her days watching Russia!

Anybody who would vote for someone just because they were thrilled to hear a sports team mentioned deserves what they get. Did anybody remember that this is a very important election for the highest office in the nation, and that it has global impact? Nobody in China cares about our sports teams. We care mostly about the economy, security and foreign affairs. Good grief, Ms. Palin can't even stay loyal to her candidate, and she's always gooing to be too busy furthering her own agenda to pay attention to the business at hand.

You always find a way to run down Gov. Palin. I would like to see a comparison of gaffs between Biden and Palin. I would guess there is no comparison. And, I would like to see your column writers make as many speeches in as many locations as these candidates and chart their gaffs.

More disingenuous than Hillary, and half as smart!! Wasn't she picking on Obama for supposedly supporting opposing teams? More of the same double standard, one for them and one for everyone else. I mean, if we held them to the same standard as they use when they call Obama a socialist, I'm surprised they are not wearing brown shirts as a uniform!!

Puhleeeeeeeze!!

Beats the lies, and hate but is still amateur. She would do OK in a pep rally but on the world stage she is some scary ! She is well known for her entire life to not fully read articles and stories and that has caught her several times. She has brought out old stories about Obama and because she never reads the whole story she gets caught looking stupid.She has put Obama down for something that McCain agrees on.Seems like she scans newspapers and takes the meat out and campaigns on it without knowing the final facts.She can be fun but there is no way in the world she is ready for the big leagues.She still thinks keeping sports stats was part of her Executive experience !! Keep in mind that a 12 year old can do this.

However her presence on the ticket has hurt more than help. And that is in part of her not being geniune. It shows whenever she speaks.

Way to go, Sarah! We need more sports fans in the White House. Sports is the most important issue facing our next president.

I think she would have been much better off studying up on actual issues rather than local sports teams. And she still managed to screw that up! Please, please don't let her anywhere near the White house!!! Obama/ Biden '08

Instead of just memorizing broad soundbites, attack lines, and names of sports teams, perhaps she should have spent more time studying issues and reading the Constitution. She would have done better for her ticket.

After tomorrow she'll have plenty of time to memorize all the sports teams she wants, but only in Alaska.

If you want to not have to read silly stories about this silly women get out tomorrow and VOTE FOR Obama!!!!!!!!

If you run into to trouble at the polls call 1(877)5-PA-OBAMA

Rememeber if you already have voted at your polling place in the past YOU DO NOT NEED IDENTIFICATION!

If for some reason you do run into trouble insist on your right to vote on a regualr machine if that doesn't work don't leave without filling out a provisional ballot but voting on the machines is best.

Last but not least, IF YOU ARE IN THE LINES ALREADY WHEN THE VOTING TIMES ENDS YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE, SO DON'T GET OUT OF LINE NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS TO YOU!!

palin is so PHONY she can't talk about issues, she has to drop names and draw attention to things that have nothin to do with , THE ECONOMY, THE REASON WE CAN'T HAVE HEALTH CARE, WHY WE ARE STILL IN A SENCELESS WAR, (PIT BULLS, SNL, AND CAUSING RIOTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO HER), JOHN MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICIAN PARTY OWE AMERICA AN APOLOGY FOR THIS SHAMELESS PICK FOR VP. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

How is this news the day before the election? Who care that she's a sportsfan? Maybe she should pick up a newspaper from time to time and turn off the television. Can't to be THROUGH with her on tomorrow.

She is doing nothing but bringing this party down you all see in the Polls show that Sarah is getting less liked as the time goes on. I am a republican and this will be the second time in my life I voted for a democrat. If Sarah comes any where near the republican ticket in 2008 I will switch partys.

Sarah Palin has to memorize the local sports team....so what?

this isn't news.

Too bad she spends more time as the Governor of Alaska keeping up with sporting events instead of keeping of with Economic, Foreign Affairs and Issues of the day related to her job. That tell it all. Ummm. Country Last. So bad of a VP choice.

She just likes to say the word Maverick. I was looking at buying the new Pontiac G8 and I saw that the silver color I really like is now called "Maverick Silver Metallic" and I just had to groan at that.

Too bad, I may have voted for McCain if he had picked a VP with a brain.........She scares me more than Bush......

Palin is hurting McCain more than she is helping him and some tend to believe that she is the poster child for 2012. GET REAL!!!! Americans will get what is coming to them if they even blink or think about putting Palin up as a candidate in 2012.

Some are merely voting for her obviously out of pity. As a woman, I am just appalled at the ethical violation related the Troopergate case and then the mere incompetence that she displays.

America--Would you stoop so low to vote for a ticket with an animal killer like Sarah Palin? I hope you have some love for our animals.

Yeah she's a super fan. Prattling about the Phillies in eastern PA was a BRILLIANT move, she really hit a homer with that one. Whatta maroon!

I can see your "insert name of local sports team" from the TV in my house!

Yep – tell us anything & we will vote for you – NOT!

She is trying to be Hillary Clinton. Clinton instantly became a life-long New York Mets fan when she was running for office there.

Unfortunately for Palin, Clinton has a brain and she doesn't. You can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Havent we had enough phony? Can't we just have a real human being for once?

Horrible pick, McCain. Whatever credibility you might have had was completely destroyed by the selection of this flat-Earth, dinosaurs-lived-6000-years-ago fruitcake. She is dishonest, incompetent to hold office, an obvious power-freak, and quite frankly...a step backwards for intelligent, capable women the world over.

Send her back to Alaska, maybe she can do cougar beauty pageants or something.

Palin wants you to think she's like part of your family, so you'll then believe any lie she tells you. This is a tactic of psychological manipulation. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking these Republican candidates are stupid. The fact is that they're not stupid, they just play stupid on TV as part of their strategy to manipulate the stupid voters.

Yes, voters, they think you're stupid, and by voting for them, you prove them correct!

The McCain/Palin campaign strategy has always been focused on locking in the stupid vote.

Is your vote a stupid vote?

It's called pandering.

It's a gimmick much like McCain's "gas tax holiday" this summer or McCain's creation of the fictious "Joe-the-Plumber" small businessman wanna be.

The base will love her for it. The independents will see right through her sophomoric appeals.

If she is going to pander, she'd better at least learn not to reference the Philadelphia Phillies in Pittsburgh Pirates territory.

Ya Betcha.

I don't think she is as nasty as they have made her. I think it has always been the McCain campaign's plan to make her the escape goat if he should loose. So they have already started turnine on her. The one problem with that is she wouldn't be there if he had not picked her. So that says more about him than her. All her speeches have been scripted. I fault her as well because if she didn't want to say those things then she should not have.

Lady, Please!!!!!!

Wow, so she's similar to Hillary. I wonder if like Hillary, she's a fan of both the Yankees and the Red Sox.

That did it for me with Hillary. You flip flop on a sports team, you'll flip flop on issues. At least people like Rudy remain true to their favorite team, him even stating that he would not participate in the parade if the Mets won that one year. And in 2007 when he was supporting the Red Sox, he explained it as he absolutely hates the National League and will support an American League team no matter what, and even that's okay then just being a fan of every team there is.

Because really, they can't be a fan of all the teams out there. So it's an attempt to appease the local base. That's fine 10 years ago, when a local campaign event might not be televised or broadcast. But now, somebody who is a fan of one team might see the candidate saying they are a fan of a rival team.
Stupid reason to vote for a person? Sure, just as stupid as race, wardrobe, sex, but for somebody it'll matter.

She is just ridiculous. 1 more day then she can go back to hunting Moose or wolves or polar bears....

mavrick? or typical politican?

The problem with this is most people can see through it...this is COMPLETELY patronizing, and most fans will be insulted. Can't a politician (all of them) be real for once?

It's hilarious how politicians have to kiss up to so many people. Personally, I would do the same thing if I am catering for votes. Palin may be going a bit overboard, but you live and learn I suppose. It's like that scene in family guy when Peter found a way to convince Congress to ban smoking, and then everyone flip flopped and they were all saying they were the first ones to oppose smoking. It made me laugh heartily!

Cindy McCain thinks Palin is mistreated. You are absolutely RIGHT Cindy. By your own campaign. They are the ones who called her "Rogue", "Whack Job"...so don't go around blaming the "left" media and the Democrats.

Yeah we have a lot more down here.Let them get their own sports up in Alaska. We have ours...The Palins needs to go back to Alaska and Sarah Palin face an impeachment...Then if McCain/Palin ticket loose... well she could never run in 2012....This woman scares the bejeebies out of me and my daughter and my daughter does not scare easily.

Just vote Pennsylvania and turn our State as blue asblue as can be...

Obama/Biden08/12

Sarah Palin = Tumbleweed.

She abused her power and she isn't even in office yet. She's unethical. She spews the same lies over and over after they were debunked as lies weeks and months ago. We don't need a sports nut – we don't need a nut period. We need intelligence and unity and even temperament.

Thanks, but no thanks, moose killer.

Voted early for Obama/Biden

She might have a future on Fox Sports

maybe she should go into sports instead of politics

Hey, at least she does not root for the Phillies to pander to Philadelphia fans when she is campaigning in Pennsylvania, and then take for the Rays when she is campaigning in Florida. These are such non-stories.

We strongely believe she has helped McCain. She is 'more down to earth' than the other three.

Now, after all this time.........for McCain/Palin

Is this woman ever going to release any medical information

WOW, I'm impressed....NOT!
Does she know how many amendments there are to the Constitution?
Does she know how many senate and congressional seats there are or how many electoral votes are needed to become the president?
I doubt it.
I'll be so glad when Wednesday is here and she is back home in Alaska abusing her power.

Now, that is called sticking to the issues! Say it ain't so Joe.*wink* *wink*

This has been the problem with my party! Can we fix the problems in America please, I have enough friends.. Everyone just vote democrat the republicans needs to be restructured and we MUST end this Iraq invasion.
LETS save ourselves 10billion dollars each month. Vote Obama.

palin is going down
