Palin has not yet released her medical records.

LAKEWOOD, Ohio (CNN) – With less than 24 hours to go before the presidential election, Sarah Palin still has not released her medical records and there is no indication the campaign is planning to do so.

Two weeks ago, Palin’s campaign told several reporters traveling with the campaign that a summary of the governor’s medical history would be made public before election day.

Reporters were told that details on Palin’s medical background would be released early last week. Last Thursday, after that timeframe had passed, a campaign aide backed off the previous pledge, saying the campaign wasn’t sure when the information would be released.

John McCain, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden have all provided details about their medical history.

America deserves what they get if we vote McCain/Palin. The whole world will laugh at us and the USA will be the greatest loser in world affairs. Those crazy religious and racial sentimentalists will be the downfall of this country if McCain is selected by fraud at the ballot box. Mark my WORDS!

JACKED-UP-POLITICS, FLORIDA   November 3rd, 2008 10:21 am ET

Hmmm what is she hiding. It is amazing how she continues to throw stones and hide her hands. It would not surprise me if she had her tubes tied and the last child in fact may not be hers after all. Could it be??? The daughter's baby?

PA   November 3rd, 2008 10:21 am ET

Well when no hospital in Alaska is permitted to give out any info on the birth of Palin's son – i't s no surprise to me that her Medical Records haven't appeared! I think there are many secrets veiling Sarah Palin.

Hard Working American for McCain November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Let's think for a minute dems, I klnow it's hard for you to do but where is Obama's Birth Certificate(the real one), where are his tax returns and his medical records?

Do you enjoy looking like a moron? Obama has released everything.

Jan, Knoxville, TN   November 3rd, 2008 10:21 am ET

I can't wait to see Sarah go back to Alaska. Her ranting and raving and shrill voice won't be missed. Her far right wing political and religious ideas indicate she is a dangerous person to hold public office and I will never understand why McCain picked her. OBAMA '08

Donal   November 3rd, 2008 10:21 am ET

Why does this surprise anyone? She is an unknown entity. McCain, Obama and Biden have been around the block for a few years and, as such, are known subjects. Obviously not well vetted by the RNC before her debut as VP pick, she carries a lot more volatile baggage than any of the other candidates and that baggage is going to blow up real good when it's opened. Her previous connections with the Alaskan secessionist party, the connection to wingy preachers, her "good ol' redneck girl" image, her ethics, or rather, her interpretation of ethics, her basic, just average, intelligence, her ignorance of the real world, of the American system of government, of politics and of good campaigning. And this thing about not releasing even a brief medical history is too suspicious to ignore. Too many things she will have to explain or cover, maybe too many people up there in Alaska who know the real story and are willing to talk about it. She's really is just a pitbull with lipstick, not at all a VP.

Soccer mom from Canada   November 3rd, 2008 10:21 am ET

She should comply with the rules or step down. Yes, they do apply to her too.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Power-abuse, unethical, liar, subpoena-dodger, now trying to evade the medical records submission?

NO THANKS.

Chryssa   November 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

So she's pregnant again. No big deal. She'll be back in Alaska this time next week.

Reginald   November 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

If she can't tell the truth about something this simple, how can I expect her to tell the truth as Vice President?

I've said it before, I was for McCain until he picked this woman. It's like they don't care at all.

Jim   November 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

Who cares. In 24 hours we can send Bible Spice back to the tundra forever.

wait a minute   November 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

No offense to the ladies, but this sounds like Hillary not releasing her White House documents from Bill's administration to support her claim of 35 years of experience.

Jason   November 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

Please get out and vote! We can not allow this women anywhere near the White House. She's a pack of lies and anything but a reformer. What is it that her supporters see in her? Go vote!

GINA, OHIO   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

AMERICA CAN YOU REALLY SEE PALIN LEADING OUR COUNTRY? CAN YOU SEE HER FIXING OUR ECONOMY OR DEALING WITH FOREIGN LEADERS IF GOD FORBID WE DEAL WITH TERRORISTS? MCCAIN HAS CANCER, HES 72 AND COULD NOT BE AROUND IN THE NEXT 4 YEARS. DO YOU REALLY SEE THIS WOMAN LEADING US OUT OF ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE? PLEASE ASK YOURSELVES THESE QUESTIONS. WE DONT KNOW HOW SHE WOULD HANDLE ANYTHING AND THATS A SCARY THOUGHT! THINK PLEASE BEFORE YOU VOTE!!! OBAMA HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO LEAD HERE AND ABROAD!

Bill   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

I don't see what she has to hide by not releasing her medical records, the whole country already knows she's mentally challenged.

Catholic-mom-4-OBAMA   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

WHY? Why is Palin staling on the release of her medical records? ALL the candidates have released their records……….WHY NOT PALIN?

PLEASE AMERICA LET US RISE UP AND REJECT THE VILE POLITICS OF LIES, HATE, FEAR AND DIVISION OF THE REPUBLICANS!

LET US RISE UP AND SAY………..ENOUGH!

PLEASE VOTE!

Dex Dean   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

Hum, must be something there! It will be so nice to see Ms. Palin and the 1st Dude go back to Alaska. Interesting to see how her latest investigation plays out with her flights and stay at the Essex House pans out. As we all know, she is the sizzle without the steak, but in the investigation issues, where there is smoke, there is fire. I support Barrack and respect McCain, but really do not know what he was thinking when he picked Sarah Palin. I spend more time determining the shirt I am going to buy then he took in picking Ms. Palin. Really an insult to the American people. If she has future agenda, she might look to the west for a place to take her heels. New low in American Politics.

A citizen of the world.   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

The fact that they are not releasing the documents is a very strange, bearing in mind that the medical records are always released by the candidates.
Something very strange is going on. There is something in those records they are desperate to hide although they know that by not releasing them they would lose votes. It must be something very serious they're trying to hide, more serious than losing votes.

Pat   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

What are you hiding Governor Palin? If you are young and healthy there shouldn't be any problem releasing the records?

Harry   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

I bet you she is "invoking preemptive executive privilege" as reason not to disclose her records.

Uncle Cheney is very proud of her.

No wonder he endorsed the McCain campaign. He's hoping for 4 more years of secrecy and abuse of power.

latina for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

What is this woman hiding? She constantly barks about not being treated the same as the guys calling out sexism. But she wont even practice what she preaches, all the other candidates have given their history. she thinks cause she is a woman she is above it all.
This lady does not represent me as a real woman, I live my life with dignity and respect and with humbleness in my heart, she is none of these. She is a crook and a liar. she is divisive and heartless. She is not what I want my 17 year old daughter to look up to. Even my daughter has more common sense and honor than this woman will ever have. she should be ashamed of herself for running such negativity hatred through this hole campaighning process.
God help us if she comes into office, she is out for herself she even throws Mcain under the bus now can you imagine hoew it would be if they are in the WH?

NaNaNaNa NaNaNaNa HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

We all know what the records will say:

- no evidence of a brain
- hasn't had a kid in many years
- had an abortion once (or twice)
- pathological liar/emotional problems
- believes in witches
- believes the bridge to nowhere is the McCain campaign theme
- Thinks she is important enough for Sarkozy to call, lol
- Abuses power without a conscience
- Thinks abstinence education has worked in her own family

So, since everyone already knows this, why keep the records secret???

Soccer mom from Canada   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Oh I see. Everyone else has to show their records but she doesn't. The press has scoured over all the candidates but they aren't allowed to ask her questions. When they do they are the media elite, Even in the debate she had the gaul to say she wasn't going to answer the questions asked of both her and Biden.
Can you imagine what she would be like as president?

LindaR   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Sounds like another typical, independent move/attitude by her? She will on do things when she wants it and only do what she wants? Heck with rules , other peoples needs, "I'll do what I want !".

Sounds kinda self centered don't it? Oh…..don't forget you're still being investigated back home for similar thinking issues.

John, you made a mistake, "my friend"?

Lilo   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Maybe she is hiding records about her mental condition! HMMMM

Leah   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

she was so sarcastic when answering Brian Williams that she would release her records. that was insulting to him and to America as well. OK Sarah – when were you planning on releasing them? My Dr can do it in a day – you've had two weeks? Want to hide something or live up to your word? hmmmm???

Jay   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Sara will release her medical records when Obama releases his birth records.

AdamW   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

They do what they want and don't feel the need to answer to anyone else. Typical Republiscams.

Scott   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Surprise, surprise. All we get are lies from these people. Oh well, at least it will stop tomorrow.

-Young Republican for Obama.

Dennis   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Who cares? She's not statistically likely to keel over – unlike the other half of the ticket.

I would be happy if a half dozen or so non-partisan doctors could confirm that she has no history of psychiatric problems, but I've made up my mind on her anyway.

BJGT   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!
We know what you are hiding Sarah!

Truman   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

It is sexist to request Palin's medical record's?
I am kidding of course, but the prospect that her pregnancy is not realy true is frightening from the stand point of open and transparent government.

Melissa in KY   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

Again, she's proving she's above all rules. Do we really want this woman as our next VP, especially when she wants to expand the power of the office? NO!

RIF   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

As much as I don't like Palin, I've always given her the benefit of the doubt about the Trig story, but the fact that she's only 44 and appears to be in good shape, there has to be a reason why they won't at least release a summary of her records, especially after they promised they would two weeks ago.

Anita of georgia   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

I am so tired of Sarah Palin, what is it with her? evidently she thinks she can do anything she want to do. I guess the media is still picking on poorly oh Sarah. She has already been charge with abuse of power. Go home Sarah! If you can't play by the rules, we don't want you running this country. You have destroyed John McCain Candidacy, you will not be allowed to destroy America.

Joy   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

I would like to know if a young girl at 17 can have a down syndrome baby? if so maybe the child is her daughter ………Has her daughter gotten bigger as most mother do over the months carrying a baby……when is her daughter's baby due?

shawn   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

in agreement with most in this thread…she wont release the records because the down syndrome child is not hers but her teenage daughters, who is now pregnant again…i mean what a coincidence…they say she never appeared pregnant during that time, she mysteriously flew from texas to alaska after her water supposedly broke, and from what i read they had for some reason pulled bristol out of school for several months during that time…

so, what do is she hiding now in not releasing these records??

LE   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

Seems odd that she wouldn't even release a "Statement" from her general GP that she is healthy with no history of past diseases and no underlying medical conditions?! You'd think if that were true McCain would be itching to have that released! Clearly the only answer is there IS something to hide! Could be anything…including another pregnancy, medical condition, miscarriages, depression, perhaps peri-menopause medications(indicating hormonal problems) you name it!

That one   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

But why Palin and RNC? Why not………Is there something you do not want the public to know before election……..hmmmmmmmm. I will vote for "that one"

Jim D   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

The problem is that for someone who says they are for transparency, this makes me stand up and take notice of ehy Gov. Palin is so evasive.

If there is nothing to be concerned about, what is the problem. By stonewalling, it only makes people feel there is something being hidden or doctored up.

Hopefully, it won't matter much after Tuesday.

In the end….I blame this on John McCain……for not gettiong all the info on her before his knee-jerk picking of her.

LaToya   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

I think that its bc she's had plastic surgery done on her nose. Look at her past pics when she was in the beauty pagents and now look at her……the nose looks very different.
She is no Wal-Mart mom!!!

Hockey Mom for Obama!   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

It will all come out after the election that she is Trig grandmother.

Carlo   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

I think she's backing her self into a corner thinking that the "liberal elite media is out to get her". I think she should chill on those paranoia's, seriously out side of a handful of people in the media there are very few reporters that actually are out to get candidates of a particular party, and here's a hint. Katie Currick isn't one of those people.

Anthony, Dallas, Tx   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

It is because Palin did not have that baby. It is very sad to me that she would do something like this to the American people and her family.

Allan   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

More evidence that Sarah Palin is unfit for elective office.

Send her home to Alaska where she can face the music for her multiple crimes. Next stop, impeachment as governor.

I predict that the Palin children are finally about to get a real mom in their lives. One that puts them first.

Vegas   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

Maybe she's waiting on Obama's birth certificate?

Susan   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

She looks healthy & glowing, therefore there is little doubt she has any medical problems. She's young & healthy. Not an important issue even at this point.

There's more important issues than that.

Good Grief

Sheila H. of New Jersey   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

Could it be that Sarla Pa Lie err, Palin, doesn't want anyone to know that she's not the real mother of the baby? Or, maybe she's had an abortion? I recall clearly that she said the baby was autistic, and now its evident that he has Downs Syndrome. What mom would make such a mistake in their little babies health? Only one that would Lie Lie Lie.

Bussing kids or abducting kids?   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

The cover-ups continue.

Independent for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

I meant Bristol's baby, not Piper's.

Jim From Philadelphia   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

Is she hiding something? Perhaps she had an abortion or something when she was younger? Young unwed Palin's seem to be in these days.

Laura, Boston   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

Obama didn't release his medical documents unless you want to call a one page note from his doctor records.

What do you Obamabots say about that? HUH?

Darrell   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

I won't speculate why she will not release her records but here she go's again above everyone.She has never played by the rules and this is a sign of an elitist.Republican rules are to break any rules you want.She simply is not suited for politics,and definetly not on the big stage.

Jeff   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

I think she is hiding something — we knows she's good at hidiing — like her most recent pregnancy. Hello, I can only laugh!

(Thanks Joe Biden's granddaugther and John McCain for providing me with the Hello and ONly laugh lines!)

What a joke, this woman and her running mate have shown us clearly how they would run an administration (in secret) and how they live up to promises made (they do not, even on administrative requests).

Now, go vote and do the right thing. Vote for a capable, forthright, confident team who understands the big picture including the important of the technology boom out there (the web, duh!) and how it creates much of how our world operates today.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

Nathan,   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

Perhaps those records won't show that she had a baby earlier this year. Would you fly 5000 miles in labor to have your baby in your home state? What difference does it make what state your baby is born in as long as its in America? Anybody seen any pictures of her pregnant? The best thing about the Republicans losing tomorrow is not defeating McCain who was a pretty good guy until he wanted to be President more than be a pretty good guy. The best thing will be watching that woman get on a plane back to Alaska.

Goddess   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

I am curious what she could be hiding………guess we will never know.

Jim   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

Makes you wonder why she went to 4 different colleges and probably completed her best effort at a communcity college.

Mr. Hamilton   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

What could Mrs. Palin possibly have to hide, and from whom? Husband Todd, perhaps? All of us unwitting victims?? Who really cares whether she had the 17 yr old high school abortion before Todd hooked up with her. Who really cares what her records say unless they're as dire as her 72 yr old running mate's prognosis. I think it's pretty moot… unless she's hiding something!

Darnell   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

I'm not understanding why her medical records are such a big issue and this "oh so professionally written" article also didn't mention it. From what I can tell, its just another (lame) reason democrats have found to attack her.

Karen - Tired of McCain and Bush Administration   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

This is getting interesting… because she claims she had a baby 8 months ago… hmmm.. More lies spewing from the McCain camp.. Just another reason to get an vote tomorrow.

Please, please people get out to vote.

Obama/Biden '08

proud army and navy mom   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

so she lied, yet again. How can this woman call herself a christian when she shots and kills innocent animals for fun?

Did anybody see this whack job a Greta (FOX). (I don't watch fauxnews but I monitor what's being said and they never cease to amaze me with the deceptive reporting and inept reporters.)

but anyway Palin had her kids and husband with her and she was uninformed as usual. She really is a pitiful candidate, but i don't feel sorry for her because she begged for the ridicule that has come down on her.

MaJiS Austin Tx   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

Maybe her medical records aren't hiding anything. The point seems to be a willingness to disregard the rules. There is ample evidence of this, medical records or not.

jon   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

i bet they find out that she in fact is not a woman, but a man with a very large penis

We Demand Our Country Back!   November 3rd, 2008 10:13 am ET

I don't like Sarah Palin at all, but some of the posts are completely out of line and I am ashamed of my fellow Obama Supporters.

Sarah Palin may be an unqualified train wreck but to pursue rumors of a hidden abortion or that her children are not her own is just plain rude.

Let's grow up, Dems…we do not need to act like Repubs.

bob   November 3rd, 2008 10:13 am ET

we don't need them now!

edd   November 3rd, 2008 10:13 am ET

It doesn't matter, does it. I mean they are not going to win.

Obama!

I voted for the guy with one house and one spouse   November 3rd, 2008 10:13 am ET

The more Palin stonewalls, the more people will push to know. Heck, we knew more about Joe the Plummer in 24 hrs than we did Palin in 8 wks. Why hasn't the medica vetted Palin like they've been vettng Obama for the past 4 yrs? Yes, the vetting of Obama started right after his keynote speech at the DNC in 2004.

Peter of Oregon   November 3rd, 2008 10:13 am ET

Maybe the McCain/Palin campaign don't want America to find out that her son Trig is really her daughter's son.

QLee   November 3rd, 2008 10:13 am ET

Once again, the rules don't apply to Sarah Palin. This is precisely why I cannot vote for her. During the debate, she flat out said she would not answer a question. She tried to stall Troopergate after telling us she would appear. Now, she does not release her medical records like she said she would. This woman is indeed a whack job! Does she not think the American people want answers? McCain did himself a great disservice by choosing this woman as his running mate. She did not bring in the female vote because any woman with half a brain can see right through her.

Independent for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 10:12 am ET

Of course she won't release them. If she did we would all find out that Trig is actually Piper's baby (Sarah's grandson) . And another Palin lie would be exposed.

Corie FL   November 3rd, 2008 10:12 am ET

Women shouldn't be allowed to run for office… too many issues.

Obama/Biden 08

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum   November 3rd, 2008 10:12 am ET

That 8 or 9 hour trip from Texas to Alaska to give birth to Trip has always sounded fishy to me. Palin has spoken many times about transparency. Apparently her kind of transparency is the equivalent of running out the clock.

LB   November 3rd, 2008 10:12 am ET

Palin is a drag on the GOP ticket……another McCain decision the USA cannot afford to dismiss…….not this time……….vote for OBAMA for real change…………

Ken   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

I am definitely not a Palin fan and I intend to vote for Barack Obama. However, I think it's much ado about nothing with the Palin stonewalling on medical records issue. I am more worried about the 47 million who don't have health insurance and what measures the new government will take to address that. We spend too much time, energy and money chasing the windmills of mediocrity in this country.

candis   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

From all indications of all her lies and deceptions she is going to have a tough time explaining herself to the people for all of her corruptions. I sure to want to know the outcome of her house that is in question being paid for illegally with perhaps taxpayers money. That is going to verr………………ry interesting. There is also Troopergate, Tax records, shooting poor animals from her plane, which is so cruel.
Good ridden Sarah

Hugh coldwar vet from California   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

Palin must be hiding something. She's pulling a Dick Cheney, by characteristically stonewalling information from the media and ultimately the American people. Maybe these medical documents are
hidden in an unknown location!

Just Make Her Go Away!   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

After tomorrow it won't matter and Sarah can go back to shooting wolves from helicopters.

Let's just all VOTE

Samuel   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

There is something fishy here. Mark my words, John McCAin will be impeached if he wins. He thre weeks into Gov Sarah Palin's normination that something was wrong and some other things do not add up. The GOP and Sen. McCain kept quiet over it. Why? So much for Country First.

Go Johni   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

Obama is not who you are hoping for! John McCain is the REAL DEAL!

Tom in Wheaton, Illinois   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

I really thought that pregnancy stuff was just internet rumor. Could it really be true? If so, it will come out after the election and Palin's political career will be over. I still think it's just a rumor, but who knows.

OBAMA will WIN anyway.

CANMAN   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

She wont release her records because it shows her last brain scan came back negetive.

Leave Sarah alone   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

You Obama supporters are down right hateful. Saying Trig isn't hers and she really had more kids but is hiding them. Act like human beings instead of acting like your candidate. (Just kidding). Obama will be horrified if he actually had time to sit down and read this blog site.

Maybe he would come out and denounce all of you the way he did Rev Wright. Heaven knows your all just as hateful a group of people as Rev Wright is. And that "My Friends" is nothing to be proud of.

Tj oh   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

That's because she hasn't really been pregnant in the last 4 years.

LIP   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

Well, so what CNN…
Obama hasn't released his medical records either and along with that, his birth certificate has been sealed by the Governor of Hawaii. What the heck is that all about, huh CNN?
Do a little research on that one will you and stop discriminating against McCain and Palin.

Abel   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

There is something Unreal about this woman, America is highly blessed with great women but if Palin is the best amongst them from the Republican perspective? then its pathetic , & for those that compare her to Hillary Clinton…… they must be checked twice for a mental problem

LTD   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

It's not the medical records -or rather, lack of- it's the LYING, Palin'. We've had more than enough of the "say one thing and do another" regime.

Obama, Biden and McCain have opened their medical records; why won't you, after you promised to do so???

And for the dittohead up-thread, to answer your questions:
1. Hawaii State Dept had Obama's original birth certificate. So get over it.
2. Obama's tax records have been released. So get over it.
3. Obama's medical records were opened to reporters, if you'd bothered to read the entire article you would have known that.
So get over it.

GOBAMA!

Obama Supporter   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

I wonder if this is 'Trig' related?

I mean seriously… what heavily pregnant woman would do a speech AFTER her water broke and then get on a plane for a few hours and then drive from the airport past several hospitals to get to where she was going to have the baby… get real.

Add this to the fact her daughter was 'absent' from school for the last 5 month's of 'Sarah's pregnancy' and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why she won't release her health records.

american   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

why so secretive?

lies?
baby isn't hers?
cancer?
abortion?
mental problems?

I don't wish her any ill will (well except for mayby laryngitis) but we should see her medical records…

Who is Sarah Palin   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Before she was put under wraps, a reporter asked her about McCain's opposition to drilling in Anwar. Her response: she 'will try to change his (little) mind on that' Can you spell insubordination
Todd votes to fund pro choice groups.
Palin is against birth control and sex education in schools
Todd believes in shooting wolves from planes, that global warming is a myth, and polar bears are not endangered?
Palin charging for rape kits.
Todd and Palin, Independence for Alaska
Palin collective narcissism
Palin, WITCH CRAFT: Pastor Hagee or Rod Parsely
Palin, total moral corruption while simultaneously claiming righteous holders of faith;
Palin project incompetence and lack of ethics onto others, religious indoctrination, enial of facts, narrow-mindedness.

WHERE ARE HER MEDICAL RECORDS? What doesn't she want the public to see? She said all should be an "open book"….

Obama HAS released his birth certificate, a summary from his doctor, and his tax returns. The fool who tries to deflect attention from Palin by saying that is like those clowns who keep saying "he hasn't explained Ayers."

Palin is the most cynical of politicians. She said she would release them in order to give the appearance of transparency–but that's all this was. A stunt.

GrammieJ   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Makes me wonder also if there might be "skeleton" in the closet. I am 64 years old, in pretty good health, had 4 children and have not had serious illness (thank goodness) in many years. I think my health report would be about 20 pages.
Wonder what is up with hers. Anyway, probably won't have to after all, tomorrow is vote day, perhaps "d-day" for all of us.
Guess the mystery of Palin health will remain for all to speculate.

mark from philadelphia   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

it is because the baby that she has is not hers. it is for her daughter

frustrated democrat   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

I wonder why this hasn't gotten more press. Kudos to CNN for not letting this get forgotten (God knows why NBC isn't pressing the issue more – they are the ones she made the promise to).

m. mckenzie   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Palin has a huge problem. She is sooooooo unqualified to be vice-president and the thought of her becoming president if anything happens will mean the downfall of United States of America. Anyone who votes for McCain-Palin does not consider or care about the future of America.

Obama/Biden is the best thing that has ever happend to America!!!

Loving Obama   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

This woman is inadequate and her medical records just doesn't matter to me.

Now vote for the intelligent one. Democrats 2008******

Peg   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Palin has seemed very defensive about releasing her medical records right from the start. She acted like she was the only candidate who was expected to do this all the while she is the only one who hasn't done so already. Strange.

cmc   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Makes you wonder what she is hiding. Where is the transparency? What a joke this woman is. To be sure, she had no intention of releasing the records. She said that just to shut the media up.

Sean   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Hypocrisy. That's the motto of the Republican Campaign. As a result, I smell a big rat. a big one.

CL   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Maybe the skeleton is a secret abortion sometime in her past.

Thebe   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

And Cindy McCain has the GALL to say that Palin has been treated unfairly.

Ye reaps what ye sows and Palin/McCain reap and sow ugliness and untruths.

Go ahead, Palin. Keep thumbing your nose at the educated electorate. See where that gets you in the next election. Your arse will be beat so bad you'll be sorry you ever tried.

Betty the Beautician   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

I am so sick of the "birth certificate" lies on Obama. The State of Hawaii officials have verified that Obama's birth certificate is authentic and that he was indeed born in Hawaii. So, give it a rest. No big conspiracy as the far right win GOP put out. There is a reason for separation of church and state and Sarah Palin is a poster child for that reason.

Irony   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Does she not realize that this implies that she is hiding something?

Of wait, she is a Republican, what am I thinking…

LS, Austin, Texas   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

There is something wrong here. I believe the baby isn't Palins, but her daughters baby.

When Palin's supposedly went into labor, she was in Texas, gave a speach, got on a plane . . .then went to the hospital?? There is no way she would have made it through all of that. Maybe after having 1 child, but not being the 4th child.

The more babies a woman has had, the faster they come.

Palin is covering up something that's for sure.

theogracias   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Fraud not even close to being able, never mind ready. This is a national disgrace.

Palin is Sleazy   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

More deception from Palin. What's she hiding? She's so fond of disclosure, exept when it comes to her own dirty laundry. This woman hasn't got the cranial horspower, the honesty, nor the integrity to be a milk maid, much less the VP of the United States.

Andrew   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

Sounds like the convenience of her daughter being married – after the election. LOL. We'll see if this ever actually happens…

Actually, I think this releasing medical records is ridiculous. It could serve as a subtle way of coercing other candidates to release theirs, without actually demanding they do so.

Very Suspicious.   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

What could the reason be? Why would they not release her medical records? She may have caught a strange Russian disease when Putin reared his head over Alaska. Perhaps she has dyslexia which is why she couldn't name any papers or magazines she reads. Perhaps she has a heart condition meaning two people of dubious longevity in the white house.

And I hate to say this, but perhaps … just perhaps …she had an abortion many years ago and they are afraid of the mushroom cloud that would produce over the McCain campaign.

AL   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

What is she trying to hide?????????
Everyone said from the beginning the baby was her daughter Willow's, maybe they were right, maybe she is not the biological mother of Trig.
Two pictures were posted in a magazine of both pregnancies, she was a the same point in her preg when the pictures were taken, they were of her first and her last baby. She was huge with her first and did not look pregnant with her last. Maybe records will prove it.

Jamie -- Asheville, NC   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

Maybe she will release the records tonight….and that will be the *November surprise* for this election.

Arlene, Illinois   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

After tomorrow we will hear less of Sarah Palin PERIOD!

Her records must be frozen in the ice of Alaska.

Al, NY NY   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

She in fact has an empty skull, proven by the EEG performed by doctors. I would LOVE to see her records show that she had an abortion so all her rightoues prattling to pander to the zealots running the GOP would be ruined

Michelle   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

Is she hiding a terminal disease?

Voting for "That One"   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

I agree that she is not releasing her records because she is actually Trig's grandmother!

Hard Working American for McCain   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

Don't give in to the ignorant threats and claims of the democraps. This time Wed. you and John will be scheduled to take oath in January '09. Maybe if we should be so lucky the leftover dems will be on a boat back to their country they claim to be from.

WELCOME TO THE OBAMA SHOW   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

WOW OBAMA SUPPORTERS I READ YOUR COMMENTS AND ITS AMAZING HOW YOU LOOK AT OBAMA AS SOMEONE TO BE PROUD OF AND IGNORE WHO THIS MAN REALLY IS.

HOW CAN YOU IGNORE WHO OBAMA REALLY IS??????????

NOTHING HE HAS EVER DONE IN HIS PAST BOTHERS YOU.

YOUR SO BLIND TO HIM AND SOAK UP EVERY WORD OF HIS SPEECHES AS IF THEY ARE TRUE.

THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO FEEL LIKE SUCH FOOLS IF OBAMA WINS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER HE TAKES POWER.

GOOD LUCK ALL AMERCANS WE ARE GOING TO NEED IT!!!!

The dems on this board are disgusting   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

You call yourself people? You are animals. For all the complaining of a dirty campaign, I have changed my mind on this campaign base as well in part on the hate spewing, name calling Obamabots on this board. Thanks!

Carrie Goodeagle Hayden, Idaho   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

Maybe the hypocrit had an abortion. Hmmmmm

Anonymous   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

She either has not had a baby in the last year or she HAS had an abortion in the past.

Pat in IL   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

First, it would show that her wedding was "shotgun" because of her first child. Then, I can only imagine, there is probably some psychiatric information in those records. By hiding them, she's, at the very least, showing that she can't be up front about herself and her qualifications, but also, if she's "hiding" something like psychiatric help, she's making that shameful, and that is very damaging to those who are helped by psychiatric care. She is not smart or mature, but instead, is a self-serving liar.

ANGIE   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

With Mccain being 72 years old and having reoccuring cancer There is a chance Palin could be President we the people should know the State of her Health!

ja   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

She's hiding something. I guess she under estimated the amount of time it takes to forge medical records.

dennis   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

Doggarnit … she ain't been to de docter in such a long time. She maybe don't know who her doctor be. Poor gal don't have much time to see no docter seein how she be so busy running around the country doin all that VP stuff.

Ya_Ya   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

How can conservative CHRISTIANS support this dishonest, corrupt, hypocrit?? It's beyond me.

Debbie   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

Maybe she think we will figure out she's not that babys mother. Then who is?

Ida   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

Is there anything to that old story about the baby not being hers?

NO Palin   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

Could it be becuase she did not give birth to her last child and it was her Daughters???? Crazy Right!!!

I guess we will have to think that since she did not release her recordds and is hiding something.

Xavier, Saint Louis, Missouri   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

Why they won't release her medical records? Because they don't want people to find out that "her" youngest child really ain't hers at all, it's her daughters. Airhead Palin has more skeletons in her closet then a cemetery.

Let's think for a minute dems, I klnow it's hard for you to do but where is Obama's Birth Certificate(the real one), where are his tax returns and his medical records?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You do realize what an ignorant fool you seem like at this stage. Everybody knows Obama birth cert. is real, he released several years of his tax returns and his medical records as well. Where have you been?

Thinking with your head instead of your brain I imagine.

Make the wise choice – Vote Obama.

Hillary supporter for McCain   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

You liberals are the most insane individuals. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for the vile hatred that your sewer ridden mouth spew at this woman. You will all be judged one day and harshly…

Accountant Guy   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

Obama/Biden '08

cann   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

A refusal to release medical records should at best be a mea culpa for Palin, and in reality, a disqualifier for her candidancy. With a 72 year old running mate, her refusal to establish her "state-of-health" is unacceptable.

kinglywarrior   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

Ok, if JOHN MCCAIN and JOE BIDEN can release their records….and Palin cannot? Something is seriously wrong here.

Either she has herpes, a history of drug use or something…way too fishy.

Annie, Atlanta   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

And are we surprised? Whatcha hidin' Sarah? Actually, what else are you hiding, Sarah, and why do you keep lying to us?

How anyone could vote for this woman is beyond my comprehension. Google dominionist and see what type of religious beliefs she follows. And she could become privy to the nuclear codes! Wake up, America.

Julian Smith III   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

…Lending even more support to the hypothesis that she was never pregnant with her youngest child…..
It's not the behaviour–it's the hypocrisy. She just doesn't get that, and probably never will.

Chris from NYC   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

This just confirms my suspicion that the down syndrome child is really her daughters and they are covering it up. What 43 (at the time) year old motherhas a new born baby then decides to run for VP before the babys 2nd birthday? Either that or she was really born a moose and she now kills them for fun to get revenge on them shunning her as a young moosling.

Mary   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

She can't release the records…everyone would find out that Trig is really Bristol's son, and not hers.

Deb   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

What they'll show is that she was pregnant when she got married. She, obviously, could have used some sex education when she was a teenager. Something she opposes now.

beevee   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Why is it such a secret if you have nothing to hide. Is she afraid that the report will show that the baby with Down's is not hers. Or some other problems during her college days.

Curious   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Would seem to imply that she has something to hide…

I always thought the whole "it's really her daughter's kid" story was a bit of a stretch, but unless you are afraid of something bad getting out before election day, why the delay?…. I guess it is just more reason not to trust her — not that there was much of a reason to believe her in the first place…

McCrazy   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Shocking…. Sarah Palin has utter disregard for policy.

She sounds more and more like a less experienced Dick Cheney everyday. Fortunately, this will be the last day we have to hear about her.

Linda from Prescott AZ   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

who really cares, she's not going to matter after tomorrow night.

Betty the Beautician   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Wonder what is in Sarah Palin's medical records that she doesn't want released? Breast implants, tubes tied, takes birth control pills???? There is something there or she would have released her records a long time ago.

Will this hurt McCain on election day? No. But she has made such a "big deal" about others being transparent and honest but she has not been. Two sets of rules this lady plays by. One for others and one for her. She is the last person I would want for as VP or any other elected offcial.

Sandy   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Didn't one of her friends in AK say that the tanning bed installed at the gov mansion was to ward off depression?

Dawn from Ada, Ohio   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Hey I don't usually go for all of that conspiracy stuff, but you know a few months ago there were a lot of rumors going around about Ms. Palin's youngest actually not being her child, but the child of her teen daughter. Might this show up in her medical records? It's probably not that, but hey it makes me wonder why she won't release those records. I can't imagine a whole hospital being in on forging records.

Jamal   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

yeah. those records are going to show that Trig isn't hers.

texas   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Palin has continually said she is transparent. There is no reason to keep the records sealed unless she lied about something again. She is probabaly trying to have her medical records transformed like she did the travel expenses for her children.

Michael in Houston   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

She is not releasing her medical records due to she does not want the public to see that she has not prenatal, no dopplers, no history of post pardum care due to that's not her baby. I am shocked that the media has not pounced on this story. She has no pictures taken during her so called pregnacy that remotely shows any weight gain or "baby bump", but her daughter did between July 2007 and February 2008. It's like all the media outlets are afraid to bring up all the questionable things about her so called "son" which I and many others beilieve that is her grandson. I will be even more shocked to see this posted here. CNN never post my comments when I talk about htis subject. Well even if you don't CNN, you can share this with one of your reporters, maybe he/she will at least address this.

Will the Real Maverick Please Stand Up?   November 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

Could there be even more skeletons in Palin's history? Of course, she's unethical, corrupt and a cheat but it's clear she's hiding something else too. LOL.

Hmmm   November 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

There's only one reason to stonewall and that's because she has something to hide. I won't speculate, but it further proves that this woman is a dangerous fraud and liar. Nice moving picking her, McCain.

Robin in SC   November 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

A little late now…what's she got to hide?

Rick in Florida   November 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

WHO CARES?????????? ONE MORE DAY AND SHE'S HISTORY.

Steve, Madison WI   November 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

Wonder why she is withholding records? Could it be that her last baby wasn't really hers, but her daughters?

tom   November 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

she has probably has had an abortion and that would scare away all the psycho religious voters…jk

henderson   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

Curious. She's young, appears healthy. The only thing I can think of is that old rumor about Trig not being her baby. One possibility is that she lied about the pregnancy to try and cover up the fact that her daughter was pregnant. When the cover got blown on that lie, she made a "cover" lie, saying that her daughter was now pregnant, but that Trig was still her baby.

I'm not big on these theories, but the facts seem to fit. First, the whole thing about Palin never looking pregnant, then flying 9 hours from Texas to Alaska to deliver the baby while in labor the whole time and no one on the plane knew it. Odd. Second, her daughter, while later announced to be pregnant, has never appeared to grow more pregnant over this campaign. Odd. Now, Palin refuses to release her medical records. Odd.

I don't really care if any of this is true, except for one thing. Is Palin a persistent lier?

BOBBY K. FROM BIRMINGHAM, AL.   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

Speider   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

If she did, the lie about Trig being her child would come out and then it WOULD be over for her and McCain. Those records are sealed forever, now.

Tom Westland   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

Could it be mental health issues? If you google her, she attended several colleges. Why is that not something that has been investigated? What were her grades like in college? By her own words today she said issues in a candidates background were not meanness but the public's right to know. So let's have the truth Sarah!

NC Resident   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

She doesn't want anyone to find out that her baby is really her daughter's.

Pat Omaha, NE   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

??????What is Sarah Palin hiding in the records?????
Probably nothing, but if she continues (only a day left, thank God!)
to carry on about Obama's "hidden" relationships, then she needs to
be open regarding her medical records.

John   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

Maybe she needs to go through them and change things like she did her expense reports? Or maybe Dr. Nick Riviera is writing up a new set that hides whatever they're hiding?

Jon   November 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

Is this seriously an issue? Would anyone who is still undecided (if there's really any of them left) actually be swayed one way or the other because a woman in her 40s didn't release her medical records?

Molly   November 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

Its like the female version of Cheney!

Susan   November 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

How in the name of goodness can anyone vote for McCain/Palin after their REFUSAL to release any report on Gov. Palin's medical condition? With the real possibility that she could be a true heartbeat away from being President of these United States and with Sen. McCain's medical history, we cannot allow this to happen! We don't need all the gruesome details of her medical history, but to refuse (even after agreeing to do so) any health records is insulting, dangerous, and questionable at best!

Nita   November 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

Because the medical records will reveal that she is not Trig's mother she is the grand mother

Red, white and blue   November 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

Why is sarah doing this? Unless, of course, she is hiding something. Skeletons in the cupboard or cobwebs in her brain? Either way, she is out of time and on the wrong side of history this election. As Obama said recently, "a righteous wind" is behind his back. Amen to that.

Dixie AZ   November 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

We know her first pregnancy came before her wedding. So what doesn't she want us to know? Its another case of Palin already putting herself above the rules.

Reggie   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

Perhaps she doesn't want to release the medical records because they might show she has not recently had a baby?

Cathy   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

This looks suspicious or is it her usual arrogant behaviour. I f all the candidates provided their medical report, Why not Sarah. Or is it again considered sexist.

Matt   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

Susie   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

Much as I dislike Palin, I have a hard time believing all the rumors about why she is not releasing her records … but she is not helping her cause with the stonewalling.

Well you betcha it will show that she probably has something to hide…………She is done done done………………..

JohnLee   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

What is she hiding?

RT   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

Take notice, McCain/Palin supporters-this is the transparency and reform they keep talking about. Abuse of power, ethics violation, using your tax money to pay for daughters' hotel stays, and no respect for their own words, their own promise. Take a close look, and think hard. Are these 'mavericks', or are they Bush/Cheney Version 2.0?

educated white woman for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

hummmm….? What's the deal Sarah? You certainly want the American Public to know every detail of Obama's life!
Hand the records over! What ugly secret lurks in that file?

ednadavid   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

This is not okay – all candidates should be held to the same standard – what is there to hide??

Jan the Janitor   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

Why does Palin's resistance to disclose her medical records not surprise me? She's rarely done what was asked of her, as first noted in the debates in her refusal to answer the questions. What does she have to hide apart from ignorance?
Best she return to the unconnected state of Alaska because she's certainly not connected with the norms of all things political.

johnrj08   November 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

There are several websites dedicated to the mystery behind Palin's medical history, and they appear to raise legitimate questions about her motives for not releasing her medical records. Those who have researched her recent history are convinced that the infant with Down Syndrome which Palin has been dragging from city to city is not her child, but her daughter's first child. Her medical records would make it clear that she hasn't been pregnant in the last several years, and that's why she doesn't want them released. Palin has been aware of the controversy surrounding her pregnancy since before "Trig" was born, yet she has done NOTHING to address it satisfactorily. Her refusal to release medical records just adds credibility to these suspicions. Even if she is this infant's mother, she is guilty of exploiting the child for political gain while exposing him to the disorienting travel and extreme noise of her political campaign.

Say it ain't so Sarah   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

No recent pregnancy records available……

js   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

She must have something really bad to hide. Something that would infuriate the few who have been foolish enough to admire her.

When theres a child you claim to have had and no medical records to prove it, that could be a problem.

Sad for GOP   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

More arrogance from her, Mcain says that she has been good for campaign,almost 60% of people say she was a bad choice for VP.He could have won until he selected her..

Steven   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

What's to hide? She looks healthy and good for a middle aged woman. Oh – oh yeah.

gl, Pittsburgh   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

Yea, You bet becasue that last baby is not Palin it is her daughters. Please just look when the Palin family is all together not once do Sara Palin or Todd Palin have the baby and the baby looks very comfortable with the daughter. Any body that have kids and grandkids will not the differents.

Jeff Brown   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

Just another lying sack in the GOP turd pile!

tiffany in ohio   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

no medical records mean no new baby of hers means shes hiding something.just a thought?

Pat in Cali   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

Sarah Palin is a LIAR.

The worst lie is "country first" when her husband wanted to secede from the United States. This is the worse fraud ever perpetrated on the American people ever. When the people find out just how much they were lied to, McCain's legacy will be completely tarnished.

Didn't the McCain campaign vet her at all? Doesn't look like it.

Frankly, America has already had too much Presidential decision-making by gut. President Obama will give us intelligent decisions for a change.

Terry in CA   November 3rd, 2008 9:58 am ET

Because she was pregnant when she got married, that's one of the major reasons. She doesn't want the evangelicals to know she's a hypocrite. But then again, they don't read anyway. They just believe what McCain & Sarah have told them.

HouseDiva   November 3rd, 2008 9:58 am ET

i'm more than sure NOW that Sarah Palin is hiding more than a yeast infection.

release your medical record Palin!!!

She is such a liar!

Mikey   November 3rd, 2008 9:58 am ET

I didn't think there was anything there. Now I am beginning to suspect there's a bombshell in those records.

However, who needs any more reason to vote to make sure Sarah Palin never gets anywhere near the White House. Extreme views, totally unquailfied, and the fatal combination of ignorance and arrogance. All bluster, no substance. And the dirtiest of the dirty campainers for McCain. She has told more lies in two short months than anyone I have ever seen.

No way, no how, no McCain, and no Palin. Obaba '08. Yes We Can.

We are America and we want our country back. Go out and vote!

LyonsPhilly   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

I wonder what she's hiding?

Greg M.   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

Win Obama Win, Baton Rouge, La. Win Obama Win, Louisiana, Win Obama Win,The united State of America, Win Obama Win, The world. We are all eagerly awaiting the victory of positive change. Please make a visit to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

OBAMA 08″…………………………………………………………………………….

obama08   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

ok. what's up with that? what is she hiding?

alvino   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

Aw gee! And she promised she would release the records. All talk, no substance. When McCain runs again in 2016, he should at least vet his vp candidate.

Pat Pa.   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

Must be something to hide. HMMMM!!!!!!

Andrea W.   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

As the youngest, presumably healthiest candidate of the four, why has she not released these records? It seems as though she'd have the least to be concerned about…not releasing them gives the appearance of trying to hide something…just makes me curious.

Indiana Joe   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

Sarah Palin is the ultimate republican tool, another of many stunts from McCain, a political calculation to supposedly bring votes from Hillary supporters (actually their beliefs are the opposite), feminists (even though she's far from the feminist ideology), and those independents who can be easily fooled or some Jerry Springer fans who don't pay attention to details and just see cute faces and are only capable of understanding keywords and catch phrases ("joe six-pack", "maverick", "hockey mom", "he doesn't share our values", "pallin' around", "job creation", "drill baby drill", "socialists", etc).

We have seen during the last weeks that she's not, and probably never be, ready to be President or VP. She can't even answer questions that my 14 year old niece can, she barely survived the debate by repeating lines that someone wrote for her, giving non-answers and dodging the questions. Moreover she is already involved in corruption, unethical behavior and abuse of power. Palin DOESN'T EVEN KNOW what the VP POSITION CONSISTS OF… or what the 1st AMENDMENT REALLY IS!!!!

We need someone above the average… she's intellectually just alright. We cannot afford a "just alright person" for the hard times ahead. McCain put his political calculations first, not our country! McCAIN SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, SHAME ON HIM! McCAIN KEEPS SHOWING US POOR JUDGMENT AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR DURING THE CAMPAIGN, WHICH HE CAN"T EVEN CONTROL!!!

For JUDGMENT and EXPERIENCE vote OBAMA / BIDEN '08!

Joy   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

She probably had a couple abortions!

dantini   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

She is hiding something, but what? Abortions she had? Not being the mother of her youngest? Whatever she is hiding, she must be hiding it because she knows it would lose her votes, so let's just trust her on that and vote for someone else…

Sue in Alabama   November 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

What is she hiding???

Mike D   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

what's she hiding? maybe a pregnancy ?

Frostlanta   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

I guess she is the only exception…give me a break, I am soooo sick of this chick.

Obama 08

Get Real   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

What will be revealed is a history of mental instability. I bet she takes various prescription drugs.

I believe it will also reveal that Trig is Bristol's child.

This is just so sad from the campaign of transparency and the candidate who claims to be truthful

labman57   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

So much for Ms. "transparency", "I have nothing to hide", "I am an open book" Palin.

Marie Banderas in TEXAS   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

Oh my, one MORE thing Palin wont co-operate with ! whats she afraid of, maybe it would show her baby isnt really hers ???? Why shoulod anyone with any sense at all vote for McCain Palin ticket with all Palin has done and NOT done ? We have the right to see her medical records TOO..Guess we never will though..
oh well, we already voted OBAMA…
white seniors, in TEXAS

Ann   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

They are scared to let the people know that palin has mental issues !

They are scared to let the people know that palin has mental issues !

But we already have figured that out !

AB   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

Typical of this woman – how is it that she is above the law? Why is she not held to the same standards as everyone else? Why don't the rules apply to her as well?

Why would you vote for someone like her?

pray2008pray   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

I wonder what she is hiding………hmmmmm….."an abortion" or "a baby that is not hers"?

curious   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

Is it possible she's had a medical procedure that would be contrary to her public image? ie. an abortion even though she states that she is pro-life

A Pattern of Stone Walling   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

I don't know whether she has anything to hide or not but this is a clear example of how she and John McCain think that the rules don't apply to them.

When they rolled her out, they tried to keep her sequestered from the news media. Finally, they had to give in and let someone with some level of intelligence talk to her … like Couric and Gibson … and look what we found out …

She is a stonewaller … she tried to do that with the ethic investigation in Alaska but it didn't work …

I can't follow behind this woman … and that's saying something.

With John McCain being a 72 year old guy …. with multiple bouts of cancer … I refuse to take the risk on Sarah Palin.

Kenny B   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

She isn't releasing her medical records because it will show that she was not pregnant and is not the mother of her last child. Then the whole world will know she was lying from the beginning.

dave   November 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

Maybe shes worried the media will add up how many kids shes had and find one missing!!!!!! Or mayb e withholding this info makes me jump to that conclusion!!!!

Greg in MN   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

Gee…a republican goes back on their word. Never seen that before! (smell the sarcasm folks)

Jim Schimmer   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

Please VOTe Tomorrow people!

NO matter how long the lines are!!

YOUNG PEOPLE – PLEASE VOTE!!

Maggie from Virginia   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

Palin is a liar. No surprises here!

Randy in Atlanta   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

skeletons in the closet maybe?

pat C.   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

what is in there that she is ashamed of?? is her last baby not recorded as sarah being his mother???? or maybe she has a mental disorder???? what drugs is she on?? who really cares at this point because after tomorrow i pray we never have to see or hear her again! GO HOME LAME SARAH BOOLIN.

Pat   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

It's time to END the great OBAMA ILLUSION !!!!!!!

COUNTRY FIRST – no more silly hat tricks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain / Palin — YES WE WILL !!!!!!!!!!!!

Sue T   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

Probably shows she isn't the Mother of the Down Syndrome baby or that she has had an abortion……..something that she doesn't want the public to know……..

Joseph IRAQ WAR VET   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

HMMMMM….I always knew she was a mental case. Looks like she doesnt want her electro shock therapy getting out in the open.

Brian   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

With the projected outcome for tomorrow and the rest of the GOP, I think her medical past is about to become a moot point.

Robin   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

SHE NEEDS TO RELEASE HER MEDICAL RECORDS, HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT A DOCTOR WHO WILL LIE ABOUT A PREGNANCY. THEY WILL NOT TAKE THAT CHANCE, MAY BE AS A GOVERNOR OF ALASKA, BUT NOT AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!

John. Austin, TX   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

I got it!! She MUST be an alien. She MUST be!! She sure doesn't seem to be up to par with current events.

Best SNL line, "My god, you're folksy!!"

Sandy   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

Could it be because she has trouble finding a doctor willing to document her last 'pregnancy'. I find it odd that a pregnant 40 something year old woman with a high risk pregnancy would fly from Texas to Alaska AFTER her water breaks. And this woman is an advocate of abstinance only education but her own daughter is living proof that it doesn't work which proves that Palin is beyond stubborn and America has had enough of that kind of mentality.

vote! OBAMA-BIDEN NOV.4th   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

NOW, HOW HARD IS IT TO RELEASE MEDICAL RECORDS???? SOMETHING DOSEN'T SMELL RIGHT! AMERICA VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Chris in PA   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

The rules never applies to this woman.

rich   November 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

What's she got to hide? Her stretch marks? And that's nothing to be ashamed of as she has birth 5 beautiful kids. Go ahead Sarah, and release the records, not that it will make any difference at this late stage of the game.

Chuck   November 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

Well we all know she was having children when she was too old. Hence a down's syndrome baby which is a major factor in concieving in your mid to late 40's. What a poor lack of judgement.

frank   November 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

Could it be that her medical records will show she hasn't had a baby in the last 4 years?

Claire   November 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

Palin, another corrupt Alaska politician. I will be there with bells on as the American people send her back to the great white north where she and her husband can continue their SUCCESIONIST movement.

Stan   November 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

Palin always has issues. I think think this woman is a push off and does not except to comply to any norms or rules – written or unwritten. I would ask the republicans to offer us better choices in future. She is always hiding something. American has better ladies who can lead and be trusted.

DPerry   November 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

Because shes a liar……….

Kirk   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

She probably needed psychiatric help at some point in her life and they do not want people to know! Or maybe she had an abortion.
Obama / Biden anyway!
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

BC   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

She is a lying monster. I can only imagine the horrible things she is obviously hiding.

Donkey Party   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

She's afraid the report will reveal that she does, in fact, not have a brain.

Hard Working American for McCain   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Let's think for a minute dems, I klnow it's hard for you to do but where is Obama's Birth Certificate(the real one), where are his tax returns and his medical records?

UNITY, not division.   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Typical.

Salliesue   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Hopefully by tomorrow night this will be a moot point and no one will care about Sarah Palin's medical records! It does seems strange that she doesn't want to release them, though. The easiest way to avoid controversy on her medical records would be to make them public, if there's nothing there to hide.

Cynthia; Bham   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Wonder why? It would be interesting to see if they get released, probably not.

shell   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

What are you hiding, Sarah?

You will not win the VP seat so you might as well let those records become public. I'm sure there are some people in Alaska very interested in seeing those records as well as the rest of the country.

j   November 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Palin isn't qualified to be VP and especially unqualified to be President. The American people do need to know the state of her health. What's she got to hide?

Elizabeth - Texas - Former Republican   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

I bet Trig grows up and calls Sarah Palin – Grandma – You betcha!
What is she hiding?

Jay   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

That's strange. It's not as if her record as a secessionist will show up on her medical history. One more day and this person is back in Alaska. Thankfully.

Blue By You   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

I smell a RAT from Alaska.

FrankD   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

JUST RELEASED
Summary of Neurological Findings on SP : nutty as a fruitcake

bruce   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

there she goes lying again…she told Brian Williams that she would release them about 2 weeks ago…what is she hiding?

Donkey Party   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

That's because she has lied, over and over and over again about anything and everything. If her records are released, it will come to light that Trig is in fact Bristol's child.

James from Kansas City   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

Whatever…we know all we need to know about her anyway.

REPUBLICAN for LIFE not by VOTE   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

CAN WE REALLY PROUDLY SAY 'FOUR MORE YEARS' BECAUSE WE ARE REPUBLICAN NO MATTER WHAT?

WE HAVE NOT SUFFERED ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE HEAR ABOUT TROUBLES NEXT DOOR, THEY HAVE NOT VISITED US YET. EVERY REPUBLICAN LIKE ME MUST VOTE SENSIBLY, NOT EMOTIONALLY. this is serious stuff, not a football game. How often do we see our top leaders endorsing the opposition? we should ask ourselves why???????????????

Artie   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

Oh say it ain't so! What do you have to hide? Can't wait for Barbie Bush to mush back to Alaska.
Worst… Pick… Ever…

FD   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

Hopefully after tomorrow she becomes Alaska's problem again and the rest of us will hear the last of Sarah Pailn.

REPUBLICAN for LIFE not by VOTE   November 3rd, 2008 9:50 am ET

TO THE FELLOW HARD-CORE REPUBLICANS

I CANNOT FACE ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF MY PARTY. I AM THEREFORE VOTING DEMOCRAT AS A WAY OF PROTEST AGAINST OUT OF TOUCH LEADERS OF THE PARTY INCLUDING THE ONCE MARVELLOUS JOHN MCAIN WHO IS NOW TURNED INTO A MONSTER. BESIDES IF THE WAR IN IRAQ AND THE CREDIT CRUNCH HAS DONE TO YOU WHAT IT DID TO ME(because of our party's snobbish, self fulfilling policies), YOU WOULD EITHER NOT VOTE OR VOTE THE BEST PARTY FOR THE DAY. my vote cannot be taken for granted. If you vote REPUBLICAN (this year), YOU ARE JUST A FANATIC, or blind suppoter and God forbid we win again and this time it wont be a joke———WE WILL SUFFER. My vote is through Obama for the….(this is paiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Democrats.

ANGIE   November 3rd, 2008 9:50 am ET

There is something in those records SHES HIDING SOMETHING SHES A LIAR AND A FRAUD JUST LIKE TROOPERGATE I WILL COOPERATE AND THEN DIDNT AND YOU SEE WHY NOW THE MEDICAL RECORDS WHAT IS IT SHE DOESNT WANT US TO KNOW????????????????

Wally©   November 3rd, 2008 9:50 am ET

Why would they not release those records ?

Is there a skeleton in the closet ?

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   November 3rd, 2008 9:50 am ET

Power-abuse, unethical, liar, subpoena-dodger, now trying to evade the medical records submission?

NO THANKS.
