 Palin told supporters today that the McCain ticket 'will win!'
Palin told supporters today that the McCain ticket 'will win!'

LAKEWOOD, Ohio (CNN) – With her voice beginning to crack on this final marathon day of campaigning, Sarah Palin promised an audience in Ohio: “We will win!”

“You can just feel it here,” she said at a rally in the Cleveland suburbs. “You can just feel it here in Ohio, victory's coming, we can do this, we can win, we can win Ohio. And we must win for you.”

Watch: Palin says Obama's tax plan is 'phony'

The crowd chanted “We will win! We will win!” throughout her remarks. At one point, Palin warned with urgency: “We must win.”

“We must win,” she said, “because Ohio, the far-left wing of the Democrat Party, not mainstream Democrat ideology, the values, the planks in the platform of the Democrat Party. It's the far-left wing of the party is getting ready to take over the entire federal government.”

Palin again accused Barack Obama of wanting to bankrupt the coal industry, citing an interview the Democrat gave to the San Francisco Chronicle in January in which he discussed his “aggressive” cap-and-trade proposal to limit carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.

“Just yesterday, revelation, an audiotape surfaces,” Palin argued, despite the fact that the Obama interview has been posted online for nine months. “People are starting to hear in his own words what Sen. Obama’s intention is for the coal industry. You got to hear this tape. You’re going to hear Obama saying it, talking about bankruptcy, bankruptcy there in the coal industry. He’s explaining all this to the San Francisco Chronicle, and he says …”

Watch: Palin says now is the worst time for tax increases

Palin was interrupted by an audience member who shouted “Liberal!”

She continued: “And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.”

Yes Sarah, you have found your base…ignorant red necks!

Sue   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Joe Scarborough said today on "Morning Joe" that Sarah Palin was really smart. She is not smart. She is a female George Bush. She is politically savvy but she has no natural curiosity or depth of thought. All she can do is memorize sound bites. She also has an ability to incite hate. She knows nothing about San Francisco or its people. I would appreciate it if she would just stay away.

Bob Stephens   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Hey Caribou Barbie, aka Hate Monger, we will be glad to see you butt heading back to Alaska Wednesday morning, so you can drive the people up there crazy.

Barry   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

The "cling-ons"? Seriously?

Frecklesmom   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Sister Sarah is a 20 minute wonder. I'm sure she'd like to be in the race in 2012, but come on…can anyone ever forget what an idiot she's looked like in this race? She needs to go back to Alaska, get defeated in the next election there, and then just stay OUT of politics. Maybe she can learn to cook or something.

therealist   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Next year, when we reach a 1 trillion budget deficit, we will remember why Democrats are always worse than Republicans when it comes to government spending..

Ramon   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Do all the Republians know is how to try to instill fear in the people? Haven't people had enough of the fear factor from the Bush Administration? And people are going to vote, again, on the basis of fear? If so, I guess people just don't learn lessons very well.

Never will acknowlege That one for anything   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Hope and Change-

Thank God I have plenty of Money and Time.

After THAT one and his get done with this country that is all you obamabots will have left. Hope and change in your pocket if you are lucky.

That one will never be MY president. I have time to wait. It came back to us after Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. It won't take much time to come back to sensible this time either.

Phil in KC   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Palin is so far to the right she can't even see the center, let alone the left. To her, anyone with a moderate point of view is a leftist. Another reason Palin does not belong in the role of VP – she is out of touch with reality.

Lisa in Ohio   November 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

I was at the rally in Lakewood, Ohio this morning. Her voice never "cracked" like CNN said. And it was very inspiring! Everything she said was the truth and she really got the crowd going.

CNN and other like-minded news outlets have done their best and have partially succeeded in making people think she is an idiot. Don't be one of the sheep that believes their anti-conservative bias.

FYI–the picture they are showing is NOT from the rally this morning.

America demands answers   November 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

"in the days perilous times shall come, men (and women) shall be lovers of themselves..lovers of money(power, selfish, hateful, warmongers) be not deceived….thou shall not bear false withness against thy neighbour…..
We are trully in the last days when people could lie this long and continued unrepentantly…sad for the whole country 24hrs to go.
Hope, faith we will get there America

Eli   November 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

Where is the straight talk, when Gov. Palin's medical records have not been released?!?

Bitter in Texas   November 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

Earth to Saint Failin (Sweety)…the far left radicals are far better than the Far RIGHT Radicals with no new IDEAS and can only spew Hate and Fear. Do Ya hear us???

Claude, Texas   November 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

HUH?? I don't understand a word she says!!

No more hatred and division – send Palin back to Alaska!!

PL   November 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

What time does Sarah Palin flight leave going back to Alaska?

Charlie Bradley   November 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

One more day Folks….One More Day before we can send this woman back to Alaska!!!

DO NOT let this fear monger, simpleton, whack job get anywhere NEAR our White House. This woman seeks to DIVIDE THE COUNTRY. WE are THE UNITED States of America. NOT the DIVIDED States of McCain-Palin

HBJP   November 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

So true. The left is coming!!! Can't wait for tomorrow to come and go and put an end to Palin's incessant fear mongering. Sarah, go home and put it on ice.

DobyGS   November 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

The only reason Gov. Palin feels enthusiasm when she speaks in front of current crowds is because the Republicans are renting venues such as they did at Penn State University ($8000) and only allowing loyal supporters into the event. The Republicans shielded Gov. Palin from the President of the University Dr. Graham Spanier greet the candidate. The campaign responded that they paid for the facility and only had to allow those that they wanted into the event. This policy continues the pep rally aspect of Republican campaign events, while Obama events are open to the public. Until the Republicans open their events to the general public, I will not believe that there is a general upsurge in enthusiasm for the McCain/Palin ticket.

tcaudilllg   November 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

The fool. The days of radical rule are over. The relationally challenged (or as we colloquially call them "the special interst) from across the political spectrum are on notice: we will rule for all, not for them.

Democrats will lead so fairly that the Republicans will have no choice but to ape our concessions to them incarnate in the New Democrat platform. The age of reaction is over and the age of objectivity is at hand.

Film Professor   November 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

America, have we not had enough of people like Palin and Bush who just slaughter the English language every time they open their mouths? Do we want capable, articulate, thinking people to be running our country, or do we really want more phobic people like Sarah Palin who don't think, disparage ideas, and inspire hatred and xenophobia?

The code words she uses like "San Francisco" are so obvious and divisive. It amazes me that more of my Republican friends are not walking away from this disastrous ticket, but hopefully the polls are right and we will bury them in a landslide tomorrow.

m. mckenzie   November 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

Palin is an idiot! Anyone in their right mind would NOT vote for McCain/Palin.

Obama/Biden all the way!!

Jeff Brown   November 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

You are right Sarah… WE will finally undue the damage that the right wing has inflicted upon us!

Jesse in Virginia   November 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

Once again CNN is running only the things that project Obama negatively while picking all the good articles to talk about Palin and McSame. CNN you all are losing the voters respect.

Obama/Biden…tomorrow.

Bob Dog   November 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

More divisive propoganda from Palin. I've had enough of the hurtful "we vs. them," "me vs. you," tactics that inspire people to hate each other.

Ms. Palin is a disgrace to the decent folks of this county.

Why can't we be nice to each other?

therealmarie   November 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

Palin is a sad comment on America. All she is expert in rallying is hate.

Connor   November 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

Please get 3 more people to vote for Obama so we don't have to hear from her anymore.

She says nothing. Maybe she should spend her time releasing the medical records that she has stonewalled on

Rob   November 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

The McCain campaign is trapped in the 20th century. Thankfully, according to the polls, it looks like the majority of America is moving into the 21st century. The old divisive name-calling smearfest politics are in their last throes. Palin tries to scare us with labels like "socialist." Smoke and mirrors, noise and distraction, fear, divide and conquer. How distasteful and repulsive.

Richard Sattich - Georgetown Ky.   November 3rd, 2008 11:23 am ET

I wonder how many 'Palin 2012′ shirts they sold.
I think she is catching up to George Bush in the polls.

Dixie AZ   November 3rd, 2008 11:23 am ET

Sarah Palin is saying what McCain wants her to say. He has her to do his dirty work. And, my, my, isn't she good at it?

Sam   November 3rd, 2008 11:22 am ET

I never understand what this women is trying to say, she has these run on sentences that are connected with the words 'also', 'that' , 'this' and it just leaves me lost in translation.

Nebraska Isn't All Red   November 3rd, 2008 11:22 am ET

She is like that John Cusack movie title: "Say Anything". And the right wing lemmings stand up like the good ditto-heads they are and cheer whatever scare or smear tactic McCain/Palin decides to tout that day. They don't seem to grasp the irony that they are cheering on a right wing-nut. evangelical fascist that still does not know what job she is ruinning for.

VOTE   November 3rd, 2008 11:22 am ET

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE. Do whatever it takes to vote. Even if you live in a state that is supposedly "safe", you must VOTE.

Pat in IL   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

Huh? Her lack of education and intelligence shows every time she opens her mouth. Where are her medical records???

hooverguide   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

Most of us just wish she could utter one complete, comprehendable sentence. We are beyond hoping for well thought out visions and plans for bringing we, the people, together.

Jim   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

On Election Day, let's send Cariboo Barbie back into the political wilderness from whence she came.

Yes, we can!

Cynthia; Bham   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

Tell Palin that an audio tape of her being punked where she thought that she was talking to Sarkozy has surfaced as well and it was funny as heck. She talks about preconditions and probably should have had some in place before she took the call. lol

Vince   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

It is truly pathetic that the Republican party has fully resorted to running on fear and division.

Tomorrow is a chance for all of us to choose. We can choose Hope. Or, we can choose fear and division. We can choose a new direction, guided by calm judgement, rational perspective, and a consideration for our country and the world as a whole, or we can choose the same attitude and policies that have made us a divided and despised nation. We can choose to return this country to the people, or we can choose to continue to turn this country over to big corporations and special interests, until THEY become our government, instead of US.

Choose wisely. It may be the most important decision you ever make.

Mikatoga   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

What is truly scary is that crowds of people cheer for this ignorant, know-nothing, small-minded, mean-spirited, lying, inarticulate person. OK, if you don't like Democrats and you don't like Senator Obama, I can respect that. But please, among all the Republicans in the US, there must be a few who are actually intelligent, thoughtful, knowledgeable and honest. Couldn't Senator McCain have selected one of these as his running mate? Remember, in the event of the incapacity or death of the President, the VP will step into the White House.

On Tuesday night I (an older white male) will pull a cork from a very good bottle and toast the victory of Senator Obama. Immediately afterward, I will toast the return of Sarah Palin to Alaska. I suspect that Alaskans may not be pleased to have her back, but everyone I know will be delighted that we won't be seeing or hearing from her for a long time.

Republicans= Me First Country Last   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

I guess San Francisco is not Pro-American enough for Palin either.
Riddle me this Sarah. Why would a senator from a coal producing state be against coal? Illinois has a lot of coal. I've watched this campaign for two years now and I have heard Obama talk, at least 5 times, about the need for CLEAN coal. Since Sarah is the "energy expert" let's see her explain what that means. To say Obama is against coal would be like saying Palin, who's from Alaska, is against oil. Stupid!

Lilarose in Bandon, Oregon   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

My God, McCain, what horror story have you brought to us from the State of Alaska?

Sarah Palin could be the final ruination of America.

I hope that McCain's final legacy is Sarah Palin.

gerri   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

Take all the right wing Jihadists with you Sarah and start your own country ,ALASKA.

Dylan, Los Angeles   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

AFTER 8 YEARS OF NEO-CONS running this country into the verge of bankruptcy, corruption of GOP leadership (DeLay, Cunningham, Stevens)…it is safe to say Americans are fed-up and demand a real change and throw the GOP out of both Congress and the White House.

Lynne Kieper   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

I heard Sarah Palin speak at a rally this morning and was dismayed by the number of blatant lies and exaggerations she spewed. Then I turned to McCain's address and it was more of the same….lies, half-truths and distortions. It's simply unfair to add things to alledged statements by Biden. The warning about the president being tested is a particularly agregious distortion: McCain added the words, "because of Obama's age and inexperience". Biden never said that, in fact, his statement was factual, since no matter what party, almost all newly-elected presidents face some sort of crisis or test. Lies about raising everyone's taxes, refusing to persue clean coal or off-shore drilling, etc. Disgusting. McCain deserves to have a decisive loss. Only one more day before truth wins out.

Alex   November 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

My brain processes cringes and malfunctions if I read or hear anything about Gov. Palin. I found her a waste of my time because all she does is spew out innuendos and malice. An absolute disgrace to the female gender. Gov. Palin is "very" competitive by nature, she reminds me of the "mean girls" movie. That's all.

Gino   November 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

It's not only her voice that's crackin'. She can't speak a coherent sentence. Klingons??

White Christian Mother for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

I will be glad when this is all over and she is sent back home and I dont have to see her face plastered all over the place. Its really getting old.

Cardinal   November 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

In a country with only two political parties (a right-wing party and a ultra-right-wing party) it's just plain ignorant to talk about a hypothetical left.
Unfortunately way too many people just buy into the witch-hunt…

M. Wagner   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

I was taught in elementary school that America is different than totalitarian and fascist countries ("they") in the following ways:

-We have free elections, they have rigged elections and voter fraud
-They have propaganda, we do not.
-They torture people, we do not.
-We have honorable patriot leaders, they do not
-Their government officials can be bribed and have no ethics, ours do not.
-We have separation of Church and State, if they even have church, it is state controlled.
-We aren't imperialists or aggressors, they are.

A big part of our problem is that not every American learned these lessons in elementary school. I guarantee that Sarah Palin didn't learn any of these lessons.

Randy, San Francisco   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

San Francisco is a very tolerant and open minded city. Even Palin is welcome to visit this beautiful city. Palin has much to learn from our cultural, social, and ethnic diversity.

Democrats for Palin   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Who is coming to Palin's rallies ?

Why her rallies are so energetic ?

Do these folks really like her and vote for her ?

YES YES YES, you betcha.
This is real America, not the elistist big-town America that is shown on big TVs every day predicting Victory for the guy they like.

John   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

It is interesting to note the dumbing down of America. Appearance is more important than ideas? Slick, lieing will go un-noticed?
It befuddles me that there are still people looking at Palin as a potential President. It's like asking Joe the Plumber to run GM.

If the Republican party doesn't wake up and get back to its roots of fiscal responsibility and centrist thinking it will never get back to the White House. Social Conservatism has been a failure, it did not work and it put this great country at risk.

Vote intelligence, vote Obama!

David Orbach, New York, NY   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Go home to Alaska and focus on being a loving Grandmother to Trig.

Bill   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Hey, if she's important enough to get a call from the President of France, maybe we should vote for her…

Hugh coldwar vet ~ California   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Sarah Palin is a far right ultra-conservative, and will guarantee that Ohio keeps losing more jobs being aligned with the misguided economics of McCain and Bush.

rob   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

GOOD–WE'VE HAD 8 YEARS OF THE RIGHT WING EVANGELICALS– SCREWING UP THIS COUNTRY…THEY NEED A REST AND TIME FOR REAL AMERICA TO TAKE IT BACK AND PUT IT IN A BETTER DIRECTION

jfs Memhis, Tn   November 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

You all are nuts. We will get CHANGE in spite of her fear tactics. As I look back over my 60 years as moderate American……….I can honestly say I have NEVER seen a more SHALLOW Republican Campaign or Candidates than this election of 2008. I really DO NOT need a candidate to point out silly issues or shortcomings of the opposition for me. Unlike MOST of the McCain VOTERS and McCain's running mate I READ !!! I wish today were Nov 4th. GO Senator Obama !!

Willie   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

She is already laying her plans to run in four years. Her and her advisers see the 'writing on the wall' and are moving further and further from McCain's agenda and more towards her own.

Oh, and those tapes, videos, and audio of the interview…yeah, was broadcast over nine months ago and has been in the public domain of the Internet since it aired.

Honestly, is there no low that this woman does not go?

TCMed in IN   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

I can't wait until tues night when hopefully Obama wins and that will be the last time i ever hear Palin. Hopefully she'll dissappear into the abyss that vp candidates who don't win go.

Obama all the way....   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

She still hasn't learned how to speak English in complete sentences. What a bonehead.

Go get your GED and then come back. Well- no don't come back. I hear Russia is nice this time of year. you can see Alaska from there.

Modest Joe   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

. . . I don't know about the "Far left wing", but the Democrats ARE
getting ready to take over.

GET READY BABY !!!!

Dems 08.

Shawn   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

I'm sick of Palin and her lies but even more sick of trying to follow what she's saying in her speeches, half of the stuff she says doesn't even make since!! Go back to Alaska!!

Elle   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

Wow, does she read her speeches before she preaches them? Does she honestly think Democrats are so evil? We are all people and we are all Americans. Democrat or Republican, we'll be fine, it's just a difference in priorities. I wish she would stop spreading so much hate. THAT is what we DON'T need in the white house.

Brad   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

Wow. All she needs to do to ensure a democratic victory is to keep talking. Most people have a filtering process that goes on in their heads before speaking, Palin apparently lacks this ability… Do we really want her?

landi   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

does she even know what right wing or left wing is all about? Gush i cant wait for the next 24 . just cant stand this woman on my television.

Desmond Sequeira   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

There goes the venomous, "SMEAR & FEAR " HOSEPIPE – again! And you expect to get elected? The people of the USA have lost all moral standing because of the likes of FAILIN -McBUSH. It is for people like OBAMA to restore the USA's respect in the world. This comes from a non-US citizen, who is not white or black or red or blue. Just very concerned for the USA and the world.

john, american   November 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

I am so sick of this woman and her constantly appealing to the absolute lowest in people. She is a disgrace. The McCain campaign is a disgrace. Perhaps they would have had a better chance of victory had they spent as much time working a plan as they spent spewing out negativity.

Brian G, Sugar Land, TX   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Yep! The Liberals are about to take over and fix what the conservatives have screwed up. 'Bout time, I'd say.

Liberal is not a dirty word, but currently conservative is.

JL   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

It's gotta be better than her taking over.

This woman makes Bush look smart.

Eric   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

“And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s ….

Is that correct english?

PA Republican for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Actually, Sarah, it is you and the FAR RIGHT trying to CONTINUE your takeover of this great nation.

And this moderate Republican in Pennsylvania is going to make sure I voice my "no" to that idea tomorrow morning at 7:00 am!!!

Obama/Biden 2008

New Day   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

whats wrong with being a liberal? every advancement in social issues in our history has come from liberal-outside the box thinking. Republicans used to be liberal too at one point. What makes our country great is the balance between liberal and conservatism. Liberals always lead us to the future and conservatives makes sure we dont get there too fast or irresponsibly.

C'mon peeps, we are all Americans. we all have a part to play

Corie FL   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Hey, come on people…. we deserve fair warning on what is about to happen. Time to get in with the socialists and commies so I don't wind up beat down or imprisoned.

enelson   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

how in the world could McCain run the USA when he was so irresponsible to pick that woman

Scaring people is not the way to run a country – she never talks about issues all she does is slander her opponents and put fear into them with her horrid messages

she should go home to Alaska and pay more attention to her own family – god knows what she would do if she got in the whitehouse and that husband of hers – look out USA if they get in

James, Ho. TX   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Just One More Day! Palin can lead back to Alaska and Hibernate ! Whew

RC   November 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

What the heck did she just say? This is who you want interacting with world leaders representing the most powerful country in the world? OMG

Charles Atlanta   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

Well… far-right has taken us to this financial crisis and economy mess, plus all the mounting national debt, lossing jobs,.. Don't fogret this current Republican president has contributed to half of our 10+ trillions national debt and keep growing.. We gave far-right a chance and they blew up. So let's try something different.

Rick in L.A.   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

It's interesting since they want us to believe the GOP ran such a dignified campaign. I can't wait to see where these people find work after tomorrow. It is SO over!! Go Obama!!!

Nathan,   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

They're just about finish fueling the plane for her to return to Alaska. The moose burgers are packed. Her neighbors in Russia are planning the welcome home party. The legislature is preparing the impeachment orders. She'll also have the time to finally finish getting her GED.

Claire   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

Palin go home!

Newport News   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

Sarah Palin,

You could never oversee anything to me, because you are a liar. Your daughter is pregnant by a black man not by Levi, is your baby yours or your daughters?

Stay where you are because you will never make. You can't even get along with your running mate. Who would choose you?

brooke   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

I love how all the Obama supporters write about the nasty campaign that McCain has run and how horrible that is, yet write down nasty things about Palin. Shows you how ignorant most Democratic voters are.

Eric   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

The republican party is more about hatred, division, and anger. We need someone who is going to bring peace to the white house, not misunderstanding.

Progress vs. Stagnation   November 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

As that song by the Police goes: "It's the rhetoric of failure".

No Palin in 2012. No Palin at all. We do need female leaders for the US, but Palin is not one of them.

Ron   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Honestly, all the fear mongering. I guess the last 8 years under the Bush administration was all peaches and cream.
Being the last day before elections, i guess the only tactic the Republican/ theists have left is the propagation of fear, being that all the T.V. and radio adds are reeking with it.
Perhaps the Republican party should be afraid, after all, you're the ones responsible for the current situation. Greed, lust for power and control at the expense of all else. Why would i want to vote for your party? While i know that no one in the Democratic party is perfect, i'm ready for a change!

Jim from Maui   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

The charge that Obama wants to ruin the clean coal industry thru regulation has been debunked by the San Francisco Chronicle who states that the entire interview is posted on their website. McCain/Palin will cling to whatever dirt they can digg up, even if it's proved false. Repeat the big lie often enough, and people will start to believe it.

LOL @ McCain.   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

This Far Left Fear bomb is hilarious. Do some research and you will find that even her claim of Barack being on the far the left is false. Does this woman ever tell the truth. I'm betting her god is preparing to smite her for bearing false witness.

Sigh   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Well, by comparison, the moderate middle ground does apear extremely far to the left of Palin and McCain (at least since McCain sold his soul to win over the right wing fringe base in the primaries)

W. T. Moses, Boca Raton, Florida   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

McCain and Palin will benefit our country and each one of us. Obama is just power hungry and wants to be history in the White House. He is full of lies and promises that he will never be able to keep. He will turn our wonderful country into a socialized country which we do not need. God bless us everyone and God bless us with McCain and Palin in the White House.

Jason The Screenprinter   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

If taking our money and spreading it around to all of us in our country is called socialism, what is it called when Bush and McCain take our money and spread it among the Iraqi people? Isn't that a form of Socialism? I would rather help our country right now and our people right now, instead of another country.

Andy J, NY   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Andy in seattle-

You sound so mature and grown up. If you call me names, ill call you names!!!

Get over yourself and your socialist, liberal ideology.

Get a clue and read the Constitution, Federalist papers, and maybe a biography on Washington, Franklin, Madison, Monroe, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Adams.

Start there and get a nice understanding of the HISTORY of our country. You are poorly misguided if you think the liberals are going to solve our country's problems.

Terrie   November 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

The last paragraph, it just doesn't make sense. How can anyone of intelligence vote for someone who chooses a person as a VP running mate, who is without one shred of a cognizant thought in her head?

OBAMA '08

This woman is dumb as rocks:

“And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.”

The clueless would only believe her lies. I think that we have had enough of Bush and Co. and his cronies running this country into the ground.

Only the clueless would think that McCain/Palin would be any different than Bush. It would mean business as usual.

Mark   November 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

Win? Win what? A ticket back to Alaska is all you are going to win!

Roofin Reality, Houston, Tx.   November 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

Obama is asking to go back to the Clinton tax rates. IF that is the far left, then I don't know why they were championing up Bill's wife Hillary.

Oh, by the way, prosperity and good times were had then. Last 8 years, in the words of McCain himself "not so good."

So, yep. The Dems are going to take over and restore us to where we've been.

Lynda Ridgefield, CT.   November 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

She is such a divisive person! She makes absolutley no sense at all, no matter, what comes out of her mouth!!

It's still curious that Palin HAS NOT RELEASED HER MEDICAL RECORDS AT THIS DATE!!

WHY NOT, SARAH, WHAT ARE YOU HIDING????????

DD   November 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

Why does everyone keep saying “why can’t Obama close the deal”? Has anyone ever closed the deal, has it ever been an election without the undecided? And one more question, why can’t McCain close the deal, he is running against a black man?

Your Phone calls must be monitored!   November 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

I wonder if Obama will???

Rob R   November 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

I think most people would rather have the far left than the far right at this point.

And Obama is NOT the far left as McCain/Palin would like you to believe.

Obama has actually moved to the center on a number of issues including FISA and offshore drilling.

But of course, the desperate Republicans want to continue their campaign of name calling and hate mongering. God help us all if it works for them.

VOTE OBAMA!

And if we wake up Wednesday morning, with Obama elected, and THEN the LA Times releases the tape, and we get another revelation about what Obama thinks in private, what then? Suppose the tape has him applauding Rashid when he says israel must be destroyed. What then? Do any of you think that his private meetings with Rashid, Ayers, Wright, and all the rest of those America haters were filled with sweetness and light, and talk about "healing America". No, they were certainly filled with hate towards America. Wednesday morning will be too late to change your mind. Vote for sanity and a great nation. Vote for a guy who truly loves it. Vote McCain

Michael watching from Canada   November 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Another scare tactic.

This is more of a reflection of Palin, who is an extreme right wing neocon.

So, from her very conservative perspective, any Democrat is far-left wing.

The truth is that Obama is a centrist. Yes. Obama is a centrist.

In Canada, Obama would be viewed as a very moderate liberal with centrist tendencies…….

that's why he is trying to bridge the divide of all political parties.

Please vote for Obama.

If there is an abortion in her past, that is entirely relevant!

If she has had psychiatric treatment, that is entirely relevant!

If she has a dangerous condition, considering McCain's age, that is entirely relevant!

Why does the Palin/McCain campaign think the full disclosure rules don't apply to them?

Patsy Madison, TN   November 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Regardless, she is not prepared to be VP or President. I hope the American people will put country before party. Even the GOP knows that she is not ready,and may never be. The GOP will cut her off at the knees next time around.

I am a staunch Republican supporter but enough is enough. Sarah Palin is the only reason i will not be voting for GOP in this years Presidential election. There are many reasons to not vote for Obama, but this campaign has decided to bring up issues with Obama that have no merit. All this negative-spin they are portraying on Obama is doing nothing but invigorating the Democrats as well as making a lot of Republicans uncomfortable that our leadership does not know the issues that are important to the "common" man. This "Swift Boat", Karl Rovian, campaign that has been run has been the reason for the downfall of this party in this years election. We will know have a fillbuster proof senate as well as a extreme left president. By focusing on Ayers, and Rev Jerimiah instead of Baracks actual socialistic policies, you have made an entire population oblivious to the values that barack represents. We are shifting to the left and its basically the rights fault.

This woman will reap the whirlwind she has sown. She is reprehensible and will go down as one of the most vile political figures in US history.

Even Bush didn't go this far.

I hope upon hope Alaksa goes to Obama and that Palin will subsequently be on trial for her abuses of power and Lord knows what else she's done up in Alaska. She deserves nothing less.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

Bea   November 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

Palin is far right …i do not like her divisive stategy and of course the republicans who think they have a patent on Christianity will agree with her……the right wing is very divisive..It's a shame because the son God wouls not act the way some of these "christians" have behaved in this election….I would rather have a party that has my back than the one that only considers a certain group of people as the "right people" to lead.

The startegy is to hammer at this 2 days before the election before anyone could do the research and discover McSame supports the very same technology. It's a cheap, Bush-league (pun intended) tactic. And why keeping attacking San Francisco? Are they not Americans up there in you know, California, the San Francisco area, up there near Alcatraz with the seals and the gay marriages?

Give me a break.

Vote for change. Vote for our children's future. Vote Obama/Biden and be done with the Republican attack machine, once and for all.

"Palin was interrupted by an audience member who shouted “Liberal!”

She continued: “And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.”

**Faux News

Release your medical statements? Or do you not want everyone to expose how big of a fake you are. Not releasing your medical records is fine but don't say for months that you are. Or do you not want that negative attention for several months?

Palin's wardrobe – $155,000
Palin jetsetting around the country – $1,000,000
John McCain loosing because of Palin – Priceless

I can't wait to see the loon on his face tomorrow.

Andy J, NY   November 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

liberals are dangerous because they refuse to admit when their side is wrong, regardless of the facts in the matter.

no democrats have called out charlie rangel on his false tax filings, yet THIS IS THE GUY WHO WRITES THE TAX CODES.

Yet NOBODY calls for his resignation.

Not that republicans are any better- I'm a libertarian who just renounced my republican party membership.

When you can't admit your side is wrong at least some of the time, you are a dangerous ideological zealot.

What Palin did not tell you is that with a victory for her and McCain, the FAR RIGHT wing of the republican party is getting ready to take over. We have experiened 6 years of a republican lead white house and congress, it was disasterous! Give me a break, she is the sinner casting the first stone. How about those medical records? Hiding the fact that YOU INDEED had an abortion or you DID NOT have the child you claim is yours and it IS your daughters? Give me a break, go tell your lies back in Alaska where people believe them 80% of the time.

Please, madam, we are adults. Talk to us like adults about the ISSUES. Your fear-mongering tactics are not what this UNITED States of America stands for. We believe in FREEDOM to have differing opinions in this country! Stop attacking people for having different points of view than you!

I'm going to pray all day that Palin and McCain lose this election.
They are unfit to hold any public office!
And the ONLY reason they get away with all their lies and slander against Senator Obama is because they're republicans. AND, if they were true christians they would never be saying the things they're saying.
Both are shameful!
And now they have the plumber joe guy on Fox News saying Obama isn't patriotic.
John McCain is the worst person in the world for allowing this vile campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, what's on her medical report she's afraid of having us see???

Jason   November 3rd, 2008 11:11 am ET

If by 'far-left' you mean the majority of the country supporting Barack Obama, then yes, Governor Palin, they are about to take over. And then you can go back to violating ethics laws and abusing your power in Alaska.

Palin is poison   November 3rd, 2008 11:11 am ET

Maybe she ought to try some of that truth serum on herself. She has been bearing false witness too many times and will have to answer for it someday.

Everybody except her 'base' is far left compared to her. Even moderates like myself find her views way too far to the right. Extremism is dangerous for our country.

That last paragraph shows the unapproachable eloquence of Gov. Palin. Clearly, America has been duped by Obama–how can the majority of voters not get behind the Republican ticket when such a clear and convincing case against Barack is delivered by the VP candidate? She really hit the nail right on the head explaining those "cling-ons" and citing the only unbiased news organization left as her primary source. What a talented speaker, it's a shame she has been off the radar in Alaska all these years.

Yes, and the far-right wing of the [R] party is getting ready to leave power. Thank God! I'll take what Ms. Trailer Trash calls the far-left over what we have all recently experienced as the far-right any day of the week.

But what is truly telling is that, as an Obama supporter, I'll put up my conservative credentials against any supporter of McCain. Note that I did not say "right wing". Those who think the two concepts are the same need to re-evaluate; it is likely at the core of the reason that [R]s have lost power, and is the reason that many [R]s will be leaving the party that represents the interests of the likes of Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and Rudolph Hess.

Send Palin and the back room boys a message to pack your bags our party has no place in our future for you. Rebuild for the future to once again positively represent this country in the future.

VB Lincoln Park, NJ   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Too Bad, so sad.

Bye Bye Sarah Phoney!!!!

Kate   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Really, She sited Fox news as an objective source when it comes to Obama,,,,yey

Andy J, NY   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Right, FOX news in the joke.

Save the fact that the left wingers have nbc, cbs, abc, cnn, msnbc, the NYT, the LAT, and the list goes on and on.

You can't say that Obama didn't say what Palin is claiming he said- there's audio tapes released.

Just because it comes from FOX, doesn't mean its not true.

People who refuse to acknowledge that their side is wrong are dangerous, and it doesnt matter if they come from the left or the right.

If you can't admit your side it wrong at least SOME of the time, you are an ideological nut and zealot, and you are dangerous.

Think about it.

Signed- Libertarian sick of partisan BS destroying our country.. I HATE YOU REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS!

Anonymous   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Palin can't seem to complete a coherent sentence. God help this country if she becomes our vice president.

Eascogal   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Palin needs to grow up and go home to her comfort zone in the wilderness! She will not win nor will McCain! What she and McCain don't understand is that this world is in dire need for CHANGE that begins with the healling power of UNITY as ONE PEOPLE under ONE NATION! The Republican ticket has been a clear sign of DESTRUCTION, DIVIDE, and DISTASTEFUL

Vindicated?? I don't think so...   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Perhaps Obama's supporters are taking a stance between old and new. Maybe they don't care about McCain's service or his strength of character, or his unblemished qualifications to be President. Maybe 'like ability' is a higher priority for them than 'trust'. Being a prisoner of war is not what qualifies John McCain to be President of the United States of America – but his demonstrated leadership certainly DOES.

It is time for us to stand. It is time for thinking Americans to say, 'Enough.' It is time for people of all parties to stop following the party line. It is time for anyone who wants to keep America first, who wants the right man leading their nation, to start a dialogue with all their friends and neighbors and ask who they're voting for, and why.

There's a lot of evil in this world. That should be readily apparent to all of us by now. And when faced with that at evil as we are now, I want a man who knows the cost of war on his troops and on his citizens. I want a man who puts my family's interests before any foreign country.

I want a President who's qualified to lead.

I want my country back, and I'm voting for John McCain.

Alan   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Hamity is better?

Beth from Virginia   November 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Johnny V   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Yup, you betcha Sarah, the Democrats are indeed preparing for a takeover!

Better start getting that concession speech ready.

Sam SixPack   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

We don't need no stinking Republicans. Watch them scurry away like rats with their obscene wealth in their greedy little paws.

We don't need their jobs. We will soon spend our days marching hand-in-hand to pick up our fat welfare checks.

Enforcer   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Hey, how is the bird's nest on top of your head? Election time is less than 24 hours and you still steadfastly refuse to release copies of your medical records? Are there abortion, implants, or ADD treatments in your records which explain why you don't want to release your medical records? Go back where you belong, back to the wilderness.

JDC   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

If the far left takes control, perhaps an new Revolution is in order.

bhogan   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Oh god not the far-left wing of the Democratic Party no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Paizley   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Her run on sentences just make me cringe. The sentences to nowhere…..She is such a joke. Tomorrow can't come soon enough. You betcha!

Mrs. McIntosh   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Release your medical records Governor Palin.

chris   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Um, me Sarah Palin, me speak real good Englimush!!

Beware of equality   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Of obama wins, you get it.

Uncle Fester   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

This woman is despicable

Chuck   November 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Can't wait until Wednesday morning when all of the Rhetoric will stop, or at least it will be irrelevant. Palin, please just go back to Alaska and wave to Putin for us. See you in about : oops I guess we won't be seeing you ever again.

katiec   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

How in the world can anyone put any stock on anything this
woman says. I have never in my years of voting heard such
lies, attacks and inciting of hate, fear, anger and unrest
among the American voters.
We CANNOT allow the republicans to further destroy our
country.
As for Palin, she does not deserve and is not capable,
qualified to even stand in the shadows of honorable men
and women who run this country. What a phoney.
Obama/Biden 08

eds   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

SOMEBODY PLEASE GET A SOCK IN HER MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiresome, abhorent woman! Dishonest–OHHH.

GO BACK TO ALASKA. We don't like you down here.

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Better the democrats than the socialistic attitude of yours, you liar. Look at the division, hate, fear. Look at the way you've abused power and done unethical things in the socialistic state of Alaska.

NO THANKS, moose killer, wolf killer. Go Home.

Obama/Biden

Andy in Seattle   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Ahh Palin. Trying to be the leader of the GOP. If you want to call Obama and his policies 'socialism', we're just going to call yours and McCain's policies 'greedy evil elitism'.

bill   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

For a candidate who insists on pointing the finger at others and trying to expose others, she sure has a lot to hide. what about her medical records…tha tis just the latest in a long line of secrets from this unvetted, unqualifed candidate. I'm so fed up with her speeches and nonsense. I truly pray she is exposed in Alaska when she goes back and hasto face the taxpayers and the ethics committes for all she done.

Enough   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Palin=Division, hate monger and incompetence!

ran   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

The far-right wing of the Republicans have had their chance and see what they did to this great country. Yes it is now time for the people to have a chance to get this country back on the right track for us all and if that means giving it to the far left wing of the Democrats then so be it.

People vote and in such #'s that a clear message will be made. We the people want our country back.

Hardy Takhar   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

with a 48% disaproval rating by the Republicans. It time to pack your bags baby.You day in the sun has set. Just go back to Alaska and tell your grand kids of your few days in the limelight .What a pathetic ignorant and illiterate candidate you are. Are you the best the GOP can do . Get ready to get hammered on Tuesday.

Becca   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

They are not a joke—they just report both sides!

Makes Me Want To Holler   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Left leaning or not, did she just acknowledge a win for Obama/Biden?

Ed, Santa Fe, NM   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

YAY… let's hope this boob is right for once….. LEFT WING FOREVER

Enough of Bush and his henchmen and all the Prohibitionists!

Junius   November 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

When is she going to say also how disasterous the last eight years of Far RIGHT wing of the republican party was?? Truth, Palin, you cannot avoid it.

Party Crasher   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

If only she could string together two or three complete sentences.

Accountant Guy   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Guess she is too busy spreading lies and hate to release her medical records!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

BKThorp   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Governor Palin:

Oh, fabulous. First, subtly hint that Obama's a terrorist, then subtly hint that he's a Marxist. Now, to say with that knowing twinkle in your eye that there must be "something" about Obama and San Francisco . . . are you insinuating something? Is there a particular image of San Fran that you're trying to implant in voters' minds? I wonder.

- BKT

Kim, Charlotte, NC   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Medica Records please!

Robert   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Senator Obama has a double standard but on the issues of coal – he has one standard. He has admitted that electricity costs will skyrocket under his administration and that he will bankrupt the coal industry. So it is OK for Cindy McCain to be slammed by the NYT but Obama feels his wife was unduly attacked??? Right !!!! But if Obama is elected – time to lower your income so everyone can get some of the socialistic hand outs from the government!

Helen   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Please purchase real bottle water…cause that water you are sipping is tainted.

Obama / Biden 08″

Betty, Virginia   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Sarah, you'll never see the white house. There's no way a far right winger will make it. The republican party will not make the same stupid mistake McCain made in chosing you.

The world it is a changin' – About time too!!!!

OBAMA 08

Accountant Guy   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

I wonder if she will ever release her medical records!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

Joe Green   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Say it ain't so.

Sarah Palin taking an Obama quote out of context and twisting it around to mean something else?

Never! Sarah would never do that, right?

And lying about a tape coming out "yesterday" when it has been around forever?

Naah!

She'd never LIE or violate ethics rules, right?

I don't know about you, but I am tired of LIARS in the WHITE HOUSE.

At least Palin is up front about her dishonesty.

Suzanne   November 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

As usual Palin is the most divisive force in this election. McCain made a huge mistake in choosing her….he would now be ahead in the polls if he had chosen Romney as his running mate.

RDS   November 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

LOL…a new line of attack today! This would probably be more effective if McCain didn't hold the same position on the cap and trade thing. I'm so ready to send her back to Alaska I don't know what to do!

slickingdom   November 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

I can't wait for Sarah Palin to be on the first smoker back to Alaska !! ;>))

Obama/Biden – '08/'12

bij   November 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

I don't understand a word that this woman say's!

Lou from CT   November 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

Once again, instead of discussing the real issues, the McCain/Palin team is out with their smears – right up to Election Eve. They must be very proud of themselves.

When you decide to talk about real issues, Ms. Palin, then we will listen.

Obama/Biden 2008

Ken in Dallas   November 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

I think Sarah might be a Klingon.

ava-GA   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Bye Sarah. Nov.4,2008 Obama/Biden will win along with the rest of America. The United States of America- that is!!

Bushwhacked in Eugene, OR   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Hey, Sarah! Welcome to the world I'VE been living in for 8 years while the far RIGHT has been in control. I didn't notice the right wing complaining about anything being unbalanced then. Let's face it, we can't do any worse than you've done, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

Suck it up. Grow up. Go back to Alaska.

Robin in SC   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Still waiting to hear or read a sentence this woman speaks that actually makes sense and is not a masacre of the English language!

Sue   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

"With her voice beginning to crack…" Beginning??? This woman has the most grating voice I have ever heard. And what are "cling-ons"? Does she mean Klingons? Who knows what she is ever trying to say? If she could only learn to put together a coherent, grammatically correct English sentence she might be somewhat intelligible. Note I did not say "intelligent."

Amir   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

What she is representing "far far far right"? or so called evengelicals preparing for Armagadon.

PG   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Palin Alaska needs you. Please Return there ASAP!

Bs   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Can someone stop Rove / Palin / Tom Delay / Senator Craig and Scooter Libby from destroying social security ?

Hopefully, McCain, 73, will retire now.

Courtney   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Sarah Palin, what the heck are you saying? What does that last sentence even mean?

edd   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

What a misguided, ignorant and completely clueless idiot. It's no wonder republicans have been jumping ship right and left.

McCain is too old   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Wack Job

Rich in Seattle   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Didn't the Far-Right Wing get us into the mess we are in? I can't see how another party could do any worse than the worse case the Republicans gave us.

Vote smart people! Vote for Obama.

Let's not keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

AZ Lauren   November 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

And we're supposed to be excited about Palin's far right wing agenda?

America demands answers   November 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

In the last day perulious time shall come

js   November 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

No Sarah
I am actually a far right Libertarian that is voting with the Dems because of you and the unsound decisions made by the Republican Regime. It is time to clean house.

Reason   November 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

Sarah Palin finally shutting up = priceles

Alex   November 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

I'm getting sick and tired of people treating political affiliation as religion or culture. What would have been the reaction if that audience member had yelled out "Jew!" instead? Since when has Republicanism — and Democratism — become a cult?

No McPain   November 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

Good! I'd rather have ANYONE take over besides Sarah. Go back to Alaska and STAY THERE!

jeremy   November 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

and the far left will do much better for our country than the far right has done.

Foreign observer   November 3rd, 2008 11:01 am ET

First she will fight the old boys network – means her boss McCain and Lieberman and further. Then she maybe will recognize that she knows nothing to lead the country.

ines   November 3rd, 2008 11:01 am ET

Where did Palin find people that actually believe her and who actually cheer?
