Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is slated to campaign next week for Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will make multiple campaign appearances on behalf of Sen. Saxby Chambliss next week in Georgia, serving as the political closer for the GOP senator who is battling to win a second term.

This is Palin’s first campaign appearance on behalf of another Republican candidate since losing her bid to become the nation’s first woman to serve as vice president.

Palin will attend a fundraiser on Sunday night, then appear at multiple campaign stops on Monday in an effort to rally the GOP base to turn out to vote for Chambliss. The incumbent Republican is facing a strong challenge from Democrat Jim Martin. A runoff is scheduled for next Tuesday, after neither candidate received the 50 percent plus one vote needed to win on Election Day.

Palin is the latest high-profile politician to head to Georgia to campaign for either Chambliss or Martin. Former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore have campaigned for Martin, while Republican presidential nominee John McCain, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney have appeared on behalf of Chambliss. Today, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will campaign for the Republican senator.

Nick Ayers, executive director of the Republican Governors Association, said that it made sense for Palin to help Chambliss in the days leading into the run-off because he noted that GOP governors are “still very popular in the party.”

“She is going to bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to this run-off,” said Ayers, a close Palin confidante. “She is widely popular in Georgia, and I could not envision a stronger closer for Saxby in this election.”

Georgia is one of two Senate contests that remain unresolved as the dust continues to settle from an Election Day that saw Republicans lose at least seven Senate seats, 20 House seats and control of the White House. Republicans must win at least one of the two remaining unresolved Senate races to prevent Democrats from reaching 60 seats in the chamber and thus achieving a filibuster-proof majority. Minnesota, the other unsettled Senate race, is currently in a recount.

Guys, we already have 58 seats. The Repubs have 42. Even if we lose Georgia (since it's a south state, lots of uneducated rednecks) and lose Minnesota (I'm not sure how this'll end), we still have more seats. The repubs have hardly any chance to screw our country anymore than they've been doing for the last 8 years.

Cynic November 25th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Interesting, all of these liberal Palin-bashers, saying she is "unqualified" as a CEO of a state, when we have a person who has somehow been elected POTUS without haven't actually DONE ANYTHING in his life.

Only in America!

God help us.

??? Done nothing??? Graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first Black President of The Harvard Law Review. Taught Constitutional Law and the University of Chicago. Was a three term state Senator from Illinois. A United States Senator. Married his college sweetheart and together they have two wonderful girls. And, oh yeah, got elected as the first African American President in our nations history. I would stipulate that is WAY MORE than hasn't "done anything in his life"…..

Lewis Peters   November 25th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

I am not a republican or a soild democrat but I have only one to say,you people who are so hateful in your heart for Sara Palin why dont you get a life and bring up something usfull to inject in these comments. I just caint believe what I am reading here.

Phil in Ca   November 25th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Wow this idiot is a gift that keeps on giving. Thanks Dems have just won another seat in the senate. lolol

Kevin   November 25th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Yes, she is back….I can watch SNL again.

Tim E   November 25th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

This is unreal. Didn't she do enough for John? And now No. VA Palin fan is confident that "Once the ridiculous media bias about you subsides, the entire public will see clearly the strong and convicted American leader that you are." It's that "convicted" part that should get the RNC's attention. Haven't they had enough of those?

Alycia   November 25th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

All you stupid male pigs out there, can go hang yourselves by the —-. I never knew there were so many sexist men in this country until this past election. I have already been done wrong by 3 husbands, and numerous other men in my past, and this election has only further confirmed my dislike and distrust for MOST men. Get a grip guys!!! A woman WILL WIN the Presidential seat one day soon!!! And it will happen whether or not YOU approve!! It will not matter if you think a female is unworthy or NOT AS worthy, as the male counterparts! And guess what? It just might be Palin!!! Personally, I cannot think of a woman who is MORE deserving than her!

Amazement at all This   November 25th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Why stop with Sarah-Bring in to Georgia, also Joe the Plumber;
how about (stepford wife) Cindy McCain–and say , Dan Quayle too (to make Sarah appear more fluent)..AND, have the blithering idiot carry a headless turkey instead of her baby….
So far her apparent popularity did not lead to votes alloweing McCain to win Nationally…–maybe, like me, people just want to look at her and are fascinated at her lack of comprehension at what is going on around her-
It is also facinating how Gingrich and Huckabee are afraid take her on and say it for what it is—two intelligent Republicans who generate some respect in their own way, acting like scared kittens.
AMAZING!

Jim Tousek   November 25th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

WOW!!! Look at the enormous response on this page to this gal. I'm impressed. She's got power!! Go Sarah!!!

Steve   November 25th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

If I was Chambliss, I'd extend a hearty "Thanks but no thanks." Palin campaigning for him is only slightly better than "W". What's very sad is that Palin is so stupid, she doesn't even realize how stupid she acts. I guess the village idiot always thinks he (or she) has the best job in town….

Robin   November 25th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Palin is most likely doing this for her own self promotion than as a favor for Chambilss. There are alot of evangelicals in Georgia, and if she manages to rally large crowds several weeks after the election it would send a pretty strong message to the GOP that she isn't going away.

Trish   November 25th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Judging from all the comments on here that are against Sarah, it is quite clear who is stupid. If you really don't care or like her why do you read and comment about her? That is stupidity in its grandest state.

blatzrox   November 25th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

All of you woman are just jealous of her because she's very pretty, & your husbands probably liked looking at her. Down here in Ga., we're a lot like Alaska. People actually help each other, & we love our guns & freedoms.So we welcome Sarah Palin to Georgia!!

Gene   November 25th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

I'm amazed by the endorsements by both sides. I'll bet you none of these endorsers even know the candidates they're endorsing. They're both just endorsing their party, period.

Palin didn't know anyone on the national scene, and here she is endorsing a guy she probably knows nothing about other than the fact that he's a republican.

Robin Hood   November 25th, 2008 7:05 pm ET

Maybe Palin will be mistaken for a turkey Thursday…no pardon

Nija   November 25th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

This is exactly what McCain could not see. This woman was making plans for her self.

KLEE   November 25th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

More "over exposure!!" – from the Paris Hilton of the GOP!!

Bossman Mike   November 25th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

I scanned all of the above comments. Isn't it amazing how narrow-minded and smug the liberals have become towards Palin?
Hey people—You've got the office and almost all of the Congress. Lighten up! What are you afraid of now? Whether Chambliss wins or loses, what's the difference? All of you should go out and get some good, tasty Kool-Aid and enjoy yourselves!

From Alaska   November 25th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

We love palin in Alaska.. did I forget to mention that Alaska does not have the same housing crisis, we don't pay income tax to support government spending and we are not inline with other states like California to ask for federal free money to support a bankrupt state government. Don't blame Bush because you ran down to the bank and bought a house you could not afford, refinanced on that good deal to buy that fancy new car, 72 inch flat screen. That is the problem with freedom when we make our own choice and it is wrong we like to blame someone else and run to government give-aways.. And we got our extra 1200 dollar check from our Alaska government because they had extra money and every day citizens could use help with the cost of fuel. Yes send her back please.. Alaska has one of the healthiest economies in the entire USA..

Independent voter   November 25th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

All she is, is a great campaigner. Just have her campaign, follow a script and talk to people. No interviews, no hard questions or anything like that! just campaign! oh, and make sure she bring along"joe the make believe plumber", that may work in Georgia.
She is one heck of a joke!

There IS hope for the future>>>   November 25th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

WHAT!!!??? They WANT Saxby to lose!!!???

Carolyn Harrington   November 25th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Sarah Palan represents women in a conservative, down-home mode and I find it very refreshing. Quit picking on her!

Hughey   November 25th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

I am so grateful that the GOP had Palin

Nancy   November 25th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

I can't beleive that the Repubs would even consider someone as ignorant and egotistical as sarah Palin for thew 2012 ticket! Good grief! The woman is a complete idiot!

KevinH   November 25th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

I agreed wholeheartedly with the general concensus here regarding Palin and her abilities—or rather lack thereof. Then, last week, a friend sent me a link to a 30 minute interview she did in July with Investor's Business Dailey. I couldn't believe (except for that accent) I was listening to the same woman we saw running for VP. She actually articulated precise, considered responses to some difficult questions like a Rhodes scholar. My friend had been shocked by this, as was I. Now I'm wondering if THIS is the real Palin, and if so, what did the geniuses at the McCain campaign do with her?

James   November 25th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Poor pathetic CNN. Afraid to allow opinions that give the people names that really fit, such as Dumbya or Palyin'. I'm amazed that they let McSame go in one entry.

I submitted two entries earlier today without hateful speech, but merely expressing my opinion on this piece, but they're to pansy as_ed to print them for all to see.

I am from Georgia and really don't expect to see her here. She'll probably show up in the Republic of Georgia instead. Can't tell the difference between a continent and a country? How about a country and a state? Surely she read about that somewhere.

Come 'on CNN. You're letting people belittle those (Georgia hicks". Grow some da_n b_lls and print my submission for a change. Palyin' could probably loan you hers.

Don   November 25th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Kiss it goodbye Chambles, Palin will do the same thing for you she did for McSame. END YOUR CAREER!

Thanks Sarah for coming to Georgia. I live in Georgia and I know that we do not want Martin. Democrats fear you just as they did when you made that great speech at the convention. They can't say enough bad things about you. If you didn't matter, they would not bother. What concerns me is why women condem you. You are a smart person. You combine work with your family. You believe in life, but do not condemn anyone on their beliefs. I have to come to the conclusion that many that condemn you have made judgements that they regret and want to take it out on you. I wish for you the best.

Oh no……she will never go away. Wonder what wonderful speeches she will give this time to incite and inflame people? Who does she want to have hanging out & pallin around with terrorists this time – will Joe the Plumber show up again — etc.

AtlantaDebbie   November 25th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

My gracious, there are some angry orphaned people on here! I'm figuring you all must be orphans, because if you had mothers, I am sure they would have taught you something about being graceful winners.
For those of you who remind us all that Palin crashed McCain's effort, even if someone concedes that is the case, the effort didn't crash in Georgia. Palin may very well help in that state.
And for those of you who remind us that Ferraro was the first female VP candidate, technically, that is true, however, Palin was the first one to be selected by a Presidential nominee who thought he had a chance of winning. Mondale knew he had no chance against Regagn-Bush. Mondale could have selected me, or Mother Teresa, or Amy Winehouse (had she been alive) and had the same results: lucky to capture his own home state in the electoral college.

Joanna   November 25th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Cori from Colorado   November 25th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Palin, you're a moron. Go back to Alaska. Why don't you focus some of your time on your family instead of the spotlight, and give them much needed attention. Hey, maybe you can spend a day together moose hunting!

As a GA native and current Atlanta resident, I may be tempted to move if we vote for Saxby AFTER he enlists the help of this woman…Come on, Jim Martin!

MK   November 25th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Hey Sarah…your 15 minutes are up. Shut up and go home.

jack   November 25th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Palin is only popular with the 20% of America that calls itself the "Christian base of the Republican party". This base is made up of bigots, racist, and people who believe that if you are not of "my" faith then you should be expelled from America. These are the same people who try to impose their christian beliefs on others. Those religious terrorist like J.Dobson, P. Robertson and the late J. Fallwell are the ones who need to be locked up for the betterment of America.

As long as the GOP allows these folks into the party it will remain an afterthought.

Jaye cartier   November 25th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Hey Willie brown you say palin will come to the rescue after obama screw the country by 2012 I don't know where you been but we have already been screw and you voted for bush twice I bet that tell me how smart you are I bet you hit your sister /wife

The Real Issue   November 25th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

The Real Issue is that Senator Chambliss has to have all the Republican Leadership which now includes Palin to attempt to keep him in office. Why can't he run on his record. Because he doesn't have one that is worthwhile to speak because he has supported the Bush Administration policies that has caused the deepest economic chaos since the depression.

Texas Trail Kitty   November 25th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

I can't believe that Saxby wants Typhoid Mary to campaign for him. Is it me or has the Republican party gone collectively insane? This woman is not a good fit for any place but Alaska. But by all means, please talk her up. It will make it easier for the Democrats to stay on top. Ah, Sarah Palin, the gift that keeps on giving.

Ken in Dallas   November 25th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

All I have to say about Palin is that she believes in pseudo-conservative dogma that has been proven false, and that she appears not to understand the dogma she parrots, much less its fallacies.

Is that hateful? Is it even controversial enough to escape moderator limbo?

Devon Spencer   November 25th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

criddic   November 25th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Sarah Palin is a strong leader who will indeed have a future in the Republican Party and on the national stage in the years to come. She threatened the idea of the Liberal Women's Movement by challenging people to remind themselves that not all women are liberals, and that her leadership is just as legit as a Hillary Clinton's is.

As Palin goes on to (probably) win re-election as the governor of her state, she will become a stronger candidate for President in 2012 or 2016. But even if she decides not to run for President, she has many options open to her as one of the fresh new leaders of the Republican Party.

I don't think she incited hatred in her campaign rallies. Her speeches reflected the questions about Obama's thin record and his questionable ties to some pretty obscene people. That's not inciting hatred. President-elect Obama may or may not be prepared for the huge challeges this nation faces, but it is undeniable that the issues Palin raised about him during the campaign were well within reason.

I have decided to give the new President a chance to show his ability and to be successful. While I voted for McCain/Palin, I believe that Barack Obama now becomes my President regardless. My hope is that he will find ways to govern the people without falling into the trap of partisanship and ideological radicalism.

PK   November 25th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Obama is doing more to fix the American economy as President Elect than GW did as President. And you think that Palin is the answer ??

Beth Lunsford   November 25th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

There sure are a lot of cynical people in the Dem Party out there.A lot of haters. Well, down here in Ga., we like Sarah Palin. You are all just scared you're man Martin is going to lose. People in Ga. also like Saxby Chambliss. We want to keep our guns & our freedom. Dems are such wusses!!

Jeff   November 25th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Why dont they invite Cindy McCain down as well? Two well dressed hot women who have nothing to say should seal the deal for someone

The truth   November 25th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Sarah Palin is smarter than you all think….she's pathetic but SMART. She knows that having her face in the camera whether people love her or are making fun of her means more coverage and money in her pockets. She loves the attention and it's not about politics anymore.

Mark my words, once she has "totally" humiliated the GOP, and they turn their backs on her, she has an amazing career in entertainment at her and her families expense no less. She has proven what's important in her life. She doesn't care if you humiliate her daughter, unborn grandchild, down syndrome son, or her husband.

This disgrace of a woman will do anything to get more and more famous and the media is playing her like a flute. The more coverage she gets the more papers they sell. It's sad…and you can all blame Jonh McClain and the Republican Party for choosing her the energize their base and fool the public into voting for a woman. They created a Media Monster, now they can't control her and unfortunatly we ALL have to endure her until her flame burns out!!!

Prediction — Salin will fire up some voters to turn out in support of Saxby. The negative turning point for Martin was the "help" of Al Gore, the biggest joke ever!!!!! Republicans will win this race.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You don't get it, just the fact that there IS a run off is a sign of the times.
The Republican "brand" is out of favor and well it should be.
Keep putting simpletons like Ms Palin out there as national candidates….. PLEASE!

and if you think running a state with the population of Memphis is qualification to be POTUS, you're not really living in the real world.

Howdy   November 25th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

C W – you are not the feminist you claim to be. The feminist movement was about supporting all women (yes, even those women we may not like) in the choices they made – be it career, family, educational or other choices. The movement was not about judging women based on those choices. Shame on you. Lots of women go back to work days after giving birth – many do so out of necessity, others do it because let's face it, women give birth every day and most ARE able to return to their normal routine within a few days. Palin returned to work with the baby at her side. You are faulting her for having a strong work ethic.

Ron   November 25th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Palin makes Obama seem like a toy.

FRANCISCO BALAGTAS   November 25th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

The sad reality here is that the GOP has truly been suspended in animated histrionics. They still truly believe that the American base is a population of uneducated, religious-leaning, ultra-conservative, rightist populace that brew fear in their kettles and spew bigotry from their mouths. I am sorry to tell anyone and everyone reading this that thanks to the migratory trends and the dawn of the "newer world", the US of A is now eing populated by a minority (yes, we are still a minority and we never seek to be THE majority, although we just want to be Americans, all of us!) of highly educated and highly skilled immigrants (and not just the lowly farm and factory migrant workers who turn the wheels of our economic movements) who only dream to dream…..that is what America is now…..and that is why President-Elect Obama won…..because of these intelligent, caring, broad-minded, unbiased Americans!
We must NOT forget : FEAR IS THE EMOTION THAT MAKES US BLIND!

I really would love to see Palin as President. A rock-solid strong and powerful force of a woman who does not have the man-hating, unmatternal and unfeminine attitudes that traditional feminists do. A woman who sticks her 3-inch heel right through those who hide from the untrendy GOD AND COUNTRY.

iseult72@hotmail.com   November 25th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

According to a new Gallup Poll, Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents most would like to see Sarah Palin run for president in 2012. That’s right…Sarah “I read all the newspapers,” Palin. Former mayor of Wasilla, first-term governor of Alaska and hockey mom. Her interviews with Katie Couric are the stuff of legend. After she and McCain got their clocks cleaned, Governor Palin couldn’t get enough of the TV cameras. They were in her kitchen, her office, virtually every corner of her life. She is now reportedly being wooed to write a book-that would be interesting-or maybe do a TV show.

Evidentially being Governor of Alaska is a part-time position.

FW   November 25th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Sarah and her Mickey Mouse club campaign crew (Piper, Baby Trig, Willow, Bristol the Teen Preggo Dropout, Joe The Plumber, Todd the secessionist) will be headed down there to Georgia to do exactly for Saxby what she did for McLame…end his career, his reputation, and his honor.

I can't wait for her to get down there and spew the same hateful rhetoric that will play over and over on all the networks. Jim Martin, your prayers have been answered, I will now contribute to your campaign…say hello to a filibuster proof Senate! Yeehaw

Texas Two Stepper   November 25th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

What amazes me is that the Democrats won and they are still mad! I don't understand why a Democrat is always mad. They're mad if they win, mad if they don't win. They have an excuse for everything. It's always someone else's fault.

Well, you can't borrow or spend your way out of debt. And the United States is in trouble. Big trouble. And it's going to take conservatism, a strong person with the ability to say "NO". We can't do that now, we don't need that now! Tighten your belts and get ready for a ride, cause it's going to get worse before it gets better! Start working, save your money, help your neighbor, and be prepared to protect your country. Oh, it's going to be a hard next 4 , 8 or 12 years.

Paul C.   November 25th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Tadashi Davis, the truth hurts doesn't it!? Yes it must be so tough when one knows that they have lost. And given the fact that the few and I mean few mindless minions of Palin like you, keep championing Caribou Barbie, we will continue to win so Please righties, keep Palin on the stage, nominate her please! She's the gift that keeps on giving and those that defend her are poster children for the typical right winger: sex starved, cowardly, uneducated, weak, lying and most of all dumb as a bag of hammers!

Rachel   November 25th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

I just have to say for the Record…I am an Obama supporter but Palin did not intimidate me at all. I just think it is absurd that this woman is out running her mouth leaving all those kids at home and not on her job in Alaska. No way does she bother us. So don't flatter her by thinking so. It's the woman does not belong out campaigning and doesn't have the knowledge to do so. She needs more education okay? Read the blogs and you'll understand. She was no contest as a VP. I just wish her First Dude would just keep her at home on the range! She does not do anything for the GOP except trash it and the only following she has are the Dull Normals.

Alaska. Georgia. Full of redneck huntin' religious right-winged nuts. It fits.

keli   November 25th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

No one hates Palin…..I think she needs to educate herself some more and try again in 2012. It's not her fault that McCain sought her out. Apparently he did not do his homework I don't hink she's a bad person, I just think she was not ready for for such a heavy responsiblity. In comparison to Hillary, she kust wasn't ready. I wish her the best in her future endeavors. Iwould like to add that no one is intimidated by her. I loved her spunk, but is that alone what we need in the White House?? Come on Palin supporters, put your emotions aside and think about it…she's not quite ready, but I think this expereince will help her grow….

Pat   November 25th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

This abrasive woman should stay home and raise her large and needy family. How do the Evangelicals feel about her choices???? Me! Me! Me!

Buster   November 25th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

How does that song go? "The devil went down to Georgia…."

Susan from TX   November 25th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I agree with Stacey in Connecticut…I am a white woman and a former republican. We cannot afford to go any further backwards than we alreadty have. It is time for our nation to heal from our economic heart attack.

geecee827   November 25th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

It's absolutely amazing that this dingbat doesn't realize how stupid she really is and that she isn't helping anyone out by campaigning for them. That being said, let her go ahead and campaign for Chambliss. Hope he loses big time!!

Palin/WRONG WOMAN   November 25th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Ignorant Palin going to a state that is still dealing with the Civil War.
Something awful could happen!!!

des_sniper   November 25th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Oh Gee, Oh my…Failin Palin is back again.

When in Georgia, maybe she will do an interview infront of a good ol lyching and cross burning!!!

Incase anyone is not familiar with "silence of the turkeys" Palin did an interview infront of a turkey farm while turkeys were being slaugtered in the back ground,
.

Robin   November 25th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Stop pounding on Palin! She is the life blood of the Republican party and a breath of fresh air!! John McCain lost the election because he opened his dumb mouth in support of the $700 billion bail out. If he would have stayed behind the scene and not took a stand (like Obama) he would of had a better chance of winning. Sarah is the ONLY reason John did as well as he did.

You Dems are the ones who don't get it. Where's all the change Obama promised? Oh, that's right. It's in his new cabinet.

God bless Sarah!!!

Caren   November 25th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Sarah Paillin is a force to reckon with. She is a quick study. Over time she will get even better and pose a definite challenge to her political opponents. Funny, even CNN's Cambell Brown features her in her segment almost everyday. She just cannot get over her obsession of her.
"Sarah Palin continues to be wildly popular with many Americans, of all parties and her strength is not diminished, but rather reinforced by these continued negative, unjustified attacks from the radical left. So keep it up, she grows stronger by the day!"

Jonathan   November 25th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Wow…reading through the posts on here is the reason why I can't stand Democrats….pathetic trash.

talbot, New York   November 25th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Boy does this chick love attention. And god is she annoying. And scary.

zodiacb   November 25th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

As an American I am totally appalled by the comments I am reading on this blog. We have talked, rallied, and demonstrated for decades about racial discriminiation, over coming gender bias, and how we as Americans dispise it. However, there is no more proof of its mere existance than to read these comments posted here. As as an educated, white, 30-something corporate American woman I support Sarah Palin 100%. In all of my adult years I have not seen such a personal [mind you] attack against a candidate. Would this have happened to a male candidate – I think not. Look at the blunders by Biden [what is the role of the VP again?] but that got very little media attention. She might be a little "green" as compared to other career politicians but isn't that what we need in our government right now? Greed, corruption, and elitism among our leadership is what has gotten the US in this mess we live in today. We need to revisit the qualities that once made us a great nation – honesty, courage, and last but not least integrity.

KS guy   November 25th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

It's truly remarkable that the GOP are corralling every loser they had in the presidential race, that they're this desperate to maintain any senate seat they can and that this is in Georgia of all places. How the mighty have fallen–it's really gotta hurt!

Sherrol in Canada   November 25th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Folks we're taliking about Georgia. There just might be a strong Palin base there for her to 'energize'. The incumbent may be the winner.

More's the pity!! Let's hope not!!!

Jonathan   November 25th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Why all the hate? Dems…are you really that scared of her?

To Dallas, Tx…you wrote: "And the last thing we need in the white house is another isolationistic, narrow-minded person whose success depends not upon knowledge and leadership abilities but solely upon political machinery. "

Hmmm…sounds a lot like Obama!

CantResistThisOneEither   November 25th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Sarah's using up some else's 15 minutes….

snooze   November 25th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Wait. She could be ready in 4 years, let's give her the benefit of the doubt. That is enough time to attend 5 more colleges, read thousands of newspapers and buy some binoculars to check out Russia.

bonnie nirmal   November 25th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

I am upset by all these unkind remarks about Sarah. She was pushed into the national stage and poor lady, she did not have a clue about her role. She did her best. But for her, McCain would not have been able to draw the conservative crowds to his rally. She was educated under our school system where world history or world geography was not at all taught. But within a short period, she could recognize all those political divisions in the world. She orchestrated well within the restrictions placed on her and without much training. I commend her courage but I would certainly not want her to be my VP and not my President.now with her Joe the Plumber mantra. 2012 is far away and who knows, she may turn out to be better educated, knowledgeable and capable by then!.

GARY   November 25th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Screw you haters. Palin has more experience than Obama and Biden. You better hope your boy Obama delivers. He has the talk but not the walk. He needs all of Clinton's left overs because he dosn't have the walk.I see our next four yrs. a worst disaster.

CantResistThisOne   November 25th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CLOTHES FOR CHARITY….I KNOW IT'S PETTY AND TRITE BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE DUDS. I SUSPECT THEY'RE IN THE BELLY OF HER CLOSET!

Palin hater   November 25th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

How can we possibly elect someone we barely know for president?
Oh wait…

mary dale   November 25th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

I thought this woman had a full time job in Alaska in addition to 4 children still at home who need a mother. She needs to go away and us CNN readers need to stop commenting on the many articles about her so maybe they will stop keeping her in our lives. If the Republicans hire another idiot to run for president after not even getting the last one out of office they are doomed. i think Americans realize we need someone with a brain to run our country. Reagan and GWB prove you really need someone with a full understanding of the world, not just somebody you think it nice in such an important job. Reagan got away before the econony crumbled, Bush wasnt as lucky.

case   November 25th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

The mere fact that Palin is needed for the GOP to win a race in GEORGIA says it all!!! Whats next Mississippi. This would be like the dems needing a run off in Vermont.

Mike Garcia   November 25th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Sarah Palin will be awesome in a role like party chairman (woman), like Howard Dean was with the DNC. She can stir up the base, raise TONS of $$$, and the GOP knows this. The liberal dumbocrats also know this, which is why they are spewing so much hatred in her direction.

lloyd kandasammy   November 25th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I supported sarah palin, she must run again in 2012 shes not the washington insider and really promises to bring about change…unlike obama whos nothing more than words. i do have my criticisms of palin but theres one thing she is genuine, and thats she knows the struggles we americans go thru GO SARAH 2012

Rebuild GOP   November 25th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

"It is not the critic who counts…." Oh heck with, why doesn't she just go away…

ran   November 25th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Let her run it will only make it that much easier for Obama/Biden to win again.

Patty from Pennsylvania   November 25th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Whether you like her or not, Sarah Palin is a Republican politician who just completed a campaign as the Vice Presidential candidate. As such, she is a competent representative of her party and is entitled to give her support for the Republican party candidate for Senator in Georgia.

However, I would not find her support for Chambliss any more exciting or positively received than it was for John McCain. Her actual performance record as mayor and governor leaves much to be challenged…leaving Wasilla $29 million in debt after years of surplus, approving the largest state budget in Alaska history indicating lack of fiscal restraint, burdening Alaska with a mult-billion dollar pipeline commitment without a contract for energy company usage or land rights from the Indian tribes.

Jeff   November 25th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

I have to wonder how the Alaskan people feel about their governor doing everything but governing????

Oh my

Bruce WExler   November 25th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Well, she sure draws a crowd. Look at all these comments.

I couldn't be fiurther away from her ideology, but look at all these comments!

As far as 2012 is concerned, let's try to get through 2009 first.

HAPPY THANSGIVING TO ALL. Let's pray for the President elect, and for our country.

FoCo   November 25th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

What is it with this woman, only the brain dead can really believe she is the political future of the republican party. I just want her to GO AWAY!!. Go slaughter Turkeys in Alaska, go anywhere but stay out of the lower 48.

Jason   November 25th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

This woman is extending her 16th minute of fame, and the press is letting her have it.

Come 2011, others in the GOP (hopefully the moderate, non Jesusland wing) will toss this fundamentalist moron onto the rubbish pile of history, and nominate a Republican more suited to the 21st century than a religious luddite from 1492.

Judging by the comments made by the GOP faithful on here, it looks like that aint gonna happen.

Evans   November 25th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Who can we write at CNN to have them stop screening their comments and allowing such a high percent of negative Palin ones while stopping positive ones?

Colleen   November 25th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

I consider myself a very moderate person…Sarah does not intimidate me..she appalls me…she has no discernable character…willingly using her children and their misfortunes in her campaign…I find her repulsively fascinating, I cannot believe there are people(your vaunted 'base'), who think she has even a modicum of common sense…let alone any quantifiable intelligence…

jfs Memhis, Tn   November 25th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Are ya'll serious with this Palin thing???? Looks like Politics is moving to the more intelligent politician……….with all do respect……..No One said that "W" has set the standard of mediority for that whole Republican party…….You folks need to support SMART People. They are out there…….in your Party…………..find them……..no matter what sex or color !!!

Vik   November 25th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Who cares! It's a free country, anyone can run for office. I'm an Obama supporter and I don't care if she's in the spot light, if she runs, or whatever else she does. People who support her will continue to do so and those of us who don't like her, fine, don't vote for her.

happy thanksgiving   November 25th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

if chambliss loses, which i'm hoping he will, the gop can add another loss to palin stupidy and theirs for alowing this, check out the comments here, most can not stand this palin person. give us someone with a brain first and someone that is not so stuck on their self. GEORGIA VOTE JIM MARTIN DEC.2,2008.

Cynic   November 25th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Ironic that it is the left that spews the hatred, that they accuse the right of.

Funny how it's the ones who preach "tolerance" who are actually the most "intolerant".

Just an observation. Have a good day!!!

john   November 25th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

You say Palin is effective? You Betcha.

She ruined the McCain campaign in less than six months. Nobody can top that.

LyonsPhilly   November 25th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Stacey Connecticut – No one feels intimidated by Sarah Palin. She is just pretty much great for a good laugh. She is pretty entertaining. Don't confuse entertaining with intimidation……

Jane Davis   November 25th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Why is Palin still around? She has ruined it for McCain and now
she will surely get a democrat in the office in Georgia. All she has
to do is open her stupid mouth.

JP in Cal   November 25th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Jeanne B   November 25th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Absolutely pathetic. The prom's over. Go home.

I feel sorry for her, but even sorrier for her poor children — with a mother like that….

Annette   November 25th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Oh boy, if this is the best the GOP has going forward.

Molly B   November 25th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Am I too late to chip in? Who invited her to this event? The party?
Will she spew her hateful diatribes about Obama while there?
Why is she even invited to appear on the behalf of a repug. after
the mess she made of the McCain ticket?

America demands answers   November 25th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

To: Stacey, Connecticut
HA HA HA HA
I cant stop laughing did you say "Even though Mr. Obama has been elected, his supporters are still afraid of this powerful, accomplished woman"
Accomplished? IN SNL or what are you talking about. The only show that benefited from Palin is SNL even those that made Palin's shirt ran at a great loss…..Afraid? are you on drugs? What is there to be afraid of in Palin except that she's got a gun…otherwise its a laughing stock
Thanks but no thanks…Palin will never be a treat to anyone on the DEM side not now or ever will she be a treat.

Matt   November 25th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

@ Stacey, CT

She's not frightening because she's smart, capable, well informed, and savy…she's completely and utterly terrifying for two reasons: (a) she's a waltzing disaster waiting to happen because she's ill-informed, grossly underqualified and, well, downright stupid and (b) the GOP "base" would vote for a can of tuna if the GOP told them it furhter the "conservative" agenda and/or because they were told the other candidate is a socialist/marxist/communist boogeyman. We" leave teh racism part out of it for now, because the overarching issue is that she's plain old stupid.

Evans   November 25th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Let me see who is Stupid. Palin plans on balancing her budget this year while Obama plans on running a deficit of 1 TRILLION dolls? Don't need a Harvard degree to know that the person that balances their budget is smarter.

Seriously?   November 25th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Dear Carolos . . . Before you go off on CNN, you need to reread what was printed. They said that Sarah Palin would be the first woman to hold the office of VP (shudder), NOT that she was the first to run. Clearly if she had one, she WOULD have been the first woman to hold the office.

Lyle: Obama supporters are not intimidated by Crazy Sarah. We believe she is an idiot, but we also have a great deal of fun laughing at her. Laughing is good for you. I have NEVER, EVER, heard more non sequiturs than when that woman speaks. It's priceless.

Palin needs to just go away, I really can't stand it, doesn't she have a wedding to plan, or has the kid left town.

jlihn   November 25th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Old Enough to Remember   November 25th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

The more Palin appears on a national stage, the more the Republican party gets split between the anti-intellectual crackpot wing and the serious, old-style Republicans who don't care what you do in your bedroom but do want to balance the budget. The later is a disappearing breed. And a split party doesn't win elections.

J.C.   November 25th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

I have nothing against women, but GOP should ask themselves if Governor Palin is their best shot.

Sam   November 25th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Sarah Palin is the worst thing that happened to American politics, we are the laughing stock in the world because of her. How low can we get.? We don't need a Joe six pack plumber stupid person. We need someone SMART, can speak in proper English and knows what is going on in the world. I don't understand why she is being considered for anything. There are many more women who are more inteligent and don't make fools of themselves and their country. Shame on those who are trying so hard to make her into something she really isn't.

gl, Pittsburgh   November 25th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

Glad our country is in the trust of a true leader. :D

Pat GA   November 25th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

To all of you that says she is stupid. Let me see she gave her citizens back $1 billion out of a budget surplus. Obama wants to give a stimulus package of $600 billion to increase the deficit to over $1 TRILLION and the National Debt to over $11 TRILLION. I don't need a Harvard degree to know when your Debt is almost equal to your GDP you don't go farther in Debt. Maybe we need to stop electing these Harvard and Yale Idiots.

Carlos Jean-Gilles   November 25th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

The survival of whole GOP is now depending on Sarah the Palin and Joe the Plumber.

What a shame…..??? GOP

Stacey, Connecticut   November 25th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

"Judging from all the negative comments posted here and those posted to every Sarah Palin story it is clear that Mrs. Palin still has the power to intimidate Mr. Obama’s supporters. Even though Mr. Obama has been elected, his supporters are still afraid of this powerful, accomplished woman.

Sarah Palin continues to be wildly popular with many Americans, of all parties and her strength is not diminished, but rather reinforced by these continued negative, unjustified attacks from the radical left. So keep it up, she grows stronger by the day!"

@Lyle, your hate and disrespect of "Mr. Obama" is quite obvious. You don't quite get it. If Palin does have the "power to intimidate" it's because of her skill to incite racism and hatred. It's not her that is intimidating, she's not smart enough for that. It's her message of divisiveness and hate. As an African-American, I don't want to go back 50 years in the past. Watching her incite some of those ignorant, fearful supporters at those rallies was indeed a reminder of the past. America must move toward the future or it's doomed. American is not going to go backward, so Palin has no real future on the national stage.

Repubshateamericans   November 25th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Tommorow we are going to read "Joe the plumbers apprentice heading to Georgia to campaign for Chambliss'. Or "Tito the broken english builder heading to Georgia to campaign for Chambliss".
I see the pattern and i laugh very hard.

Dallas, tx   November 25th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

I strongly agree with my wife who was offended at the idea that Palin could be the first woman in the white house and we both felt she is a female equivalent of Bush. And the last thing we need in the white house is another isolationistic, narrow-minded person whose success depends not upon knowledge and leadership abilities but solely upon political machinery. HOWEVER, the vicious, mean-spirited comments about Palin on CNN are tiresome and counterproductive. Her supporters – the christian republican base – thrives on playing the role of 'victim' and will only be further fueled by any perception of hatred toward her. Plus, it only gives further fuel to those automatons who cite endlessly the mantra that all media is leftist, except foxnews, etc…

Evans   November 25th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

She has to be the most Airheaded Individual ever. Please let her keep that air up in Alaska.

Cynic   November 25th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Interesting, all of these liberal Palin-bashers, saying she is "unqualified" as a CEO of a state, when we have a person who has somehow been elected POTUS without haven't actually DONE ANYTHING in his life.

Only in America!

God help us.

She will help kill the Republican candidate's chances just like she did McCain's. That's pitful, hitting the campaign trail to energize the base. Shouldn't they already be energized?

Gerald West   November 25th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

So, the Republicans are sending their top gun down to Georgia!

They're desperate to obstruct the good faith efforts of President-Elect Obama to repair the damage done to our country by Bush-Cheney and the rubber-stamp congressmen like Senator Chambliss.

bitterrootWA(the state)   November 25th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Tadashi Davis   November 25th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

I dont get get it, Sarah Palin has the intelligence of a rock; yet the right embraces her as if she is some dynamic woman who has a plan to get America back to conservatism in 2012. Wake up, she is not intelligent; she is not the future of anyones politics. The right should be ashamed of themselves bringing a knife to a gunfight in the general election and should be ashamed now using her to boost Chambliss. Chambliss is the SAME politician that Palin and McCain vowed to "shake up" in Washington; now she supports him? I still don't see how Palin supporters can keep a straight face when they say she is smart and had the qualifications to be VP…How can the right continue to live in the past? Conservative have more potent women in the their party, and they sad thing is they know it. They [GOP] still want to use the hood ornament tactic; using the image of Sarah Palin but not her brains…look at the Bush Administration….Saxby Chambliss is the scum of the earth. His political tactics are boarderline criminal… I hope GA wakes up and goes for change and not fall for some right-wing tool tactics from the GOP by bringing in Sarah Palin.

Carrie   November 25th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

As an American woman who was thrilled to see Barack Obama elected to the presidency, I'm hoping Sarah Palin does as much good for Saxby Chambliss as she did for John McCain. Woman or not, Sarah Palin does represent me.

Take a look at the majority of the comments every time she is mentioned. The majority of the American people don't want her anywhere near the White House.
She's only back in the spotlight because people want to make money off of her.
McCain. Admit it. You made a mistake choosing her. Period.

Phil-Little Rock   November 25th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Can someone tell this dumb ditzo that the campaigning part is over………AND SHE LOST?? lolol

Indie Voter in Nevada   November 25th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Go for it Sarah! We need more Democrats in the house and senate to get this country back on track!

Hank Williams, Sr   November 25th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

tina fay is getting more work. cool.

MJ from Atlanta   November 25th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Thanks for coming to the ATL as I will DEFINITELY be going to cast my vote for Jim Martin!!!!

Go back home and learn about the country/world first – then try this again many, many years from now!!

Pat   November 25th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Let me see all you Obama Haters. Palin gave her citizens 1 Billion dollars back out of a surplus, which means she knows you can only give away money if you have it. Obama wants to give out 600 Billion on top of a deficit (not surplus) of 400+ billion to increase the Federal Debt to 11 TRILLION dollars. And of course the great Country of China gets to buy this debt of ours. So who is smart and who is stupid? I don't need to go to Harvard for 20 years to know that being TRILLIONS in debt to China is not good for our Country.

FER   November 25th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Unfortunately she really appeals to the anti-intellectual NASCAR types she has been brought in to "excite". Hopefully the urban and suburb voter will step up now that they are uncumbered by an African-American candidate on the ballot. Considering the number of great educational institutions in the State, e.g. Georgia Tech and Emory, it is difficult to understand why the State has not managed to shed its less than progressive image. It may still all be about racial bias.

Cruzan Obama Mama   November 25th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

If she is the hope of the GOP, then that is just SAD!!!!!!

I'm a working mother and I'm horrified at how much of a disgrace she is. I have no clue how women can support her.

I must be missing something.

Simmy   November 25th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

Rudy is the kitchen sink, this is the bathroom sink!

PS   November 25th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

I really wonder how Sarah Palin's kids are faring! How can they miss school for so many months? Who's teaching them homework? They do not appear to be homeschooled and WE KNOW that they have missed school for so many weeks already! Their mother's fixation on herself and her political future seems to have taken away all her attention from them. Why have so many kids if they can't be educated adequately. Her pregnant daughter tells a lot about the attention she got from her parents! A mother is important to daughters! Obama's kids went to school the entire time!

St Paul Guy   November 25th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

How Palin can be of any help in this senator's campaing is beyond me. After all of the dumb comments she has made in the last two/three months, I certainly would want to keep away (a long way) from her if I were running for reelection as a republican. If that's all the repubs have to look to for campaign support, they have a real problem.

Phil, Ashburn, VA   November 25th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

Jesus…. when will this stop? This nightmare of her talking.

Don   November 25th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

I am no fan of Palin's policy idea's…but could you people stop attacking her and callinh her stupid names. You act like two year olds who are spoiled. Palin has every right to campaign…I also will add that the other side should knock off the nasty comments about Hillary. Why is it when its a women politician you feel you can do this. More power to Palin as far as I am concerned. She is no dummy and you people should watch out…she will be back.

james   November 25th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

AH !!! How some love the limelight——– GO AWAY, Sarah

Bea   November 25th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

Bad choice – she lost a lot of support for Sen. McCain and now she is doing it again for Sen. Chambliss. Will she ever learn to stay home and do what is supposed to be good for her State?

Barton Brown   November 25th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Thank GOD! This should be the final nail in Saxby Chambliss' LOOOOONG overdue political coffin. You GO MooseMom!

DEB   November 25th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Have we not had enough of Sara Palin? She's nothing more than fodder for the late night talk shows.

Diana   November 25th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Enough is Enough!!! Go home and take care of your family! Your have a son that needs your love and caring for. It is your responsibility to take care of him not someone elses…..

You also have your daughter to look after and soon grandbaby.. Maybe you should have lectured to her more????????

GO AWAY………………………………….

Angus McDugan   November 25th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Wow! She is so popular. The largest number of responses are logged for articals about her. I guess she will always be in the news thanks to everyone on here.

dan in Tucson   November 25th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

I don't think Sarah is doing the GOP any good. Wish she would just go home and leave us alone

Sherree from MO   November 25th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

I'm willing to admit it: I'm a Dem, and I'm terribly afraid of Palin. Not because she's so accomplished or so smart, but because she's not. And people seem to like her. If you haven't noticed, when we are uninformed on a topic, its hard to make good choices. Kids who don't know about condoms have unprotected sex and get pregnant (see articles on the Palin girl). Patients who don't understand why a medication will help them sometimes choose to stop taking it. Politicians who don't know which regions are continents and which are countries make bad foreign policy decisions. And people are actually cheering "Palin 2012″? Of course that scares me.

I hope her campaigning in GA brings tons of intelligent liberals and intelligent Republicans/independents to the polls. If you know someone there, call them and tell them to vote for Martin!

p.h,. Riverton ,Wy   November 25th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

This moron should stay in Alaska and try to be the Govenor that they elected. Or was she ever running it to begin with?. Who is in charge in her state her husband? She is such a farce and we need to get on with the rest of the problems in this country .STOP giving her air time. She is disgusting.

Wilfort   November 25th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

How is it that this Lady [ just kidding ] who has less brain capacity than a 5th grader have so much support ? Has Stupidity become the new plauge on this country ?!?!?!?!?!?

Karen   November 25th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Palin needs to do some heavy duty studying before she does any more campaigning. She could improve her diction, understanding of world affairs, understanding of neo-liberalism and its policies that have put us into this economic mess, education, health, labor, etc. Her extreme lack of polish and education hurt the McCain ticket beyond description

Brian in Indiana   November 25th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

I think by the end of the next four years of give away programs it will be nice to elect someone like Sara Palin that at least has a record of cutting cost and excess spending . That's o.k. Sara keep on doing what you like to do. The Democratic controlled Congress got us in this mess, there is always 2012 !!!!

Begs the question – why? Every individual American I ever met was a fine person…my team plays rugby teams from New York and New Hampshire every year…and we have forged new friendships over the years with our fine American friends. You don't deserve this…
There are 300 million of you folks, one-half of you are women…out of that vast number surely you can choose a much better, brighter one than this to lead!

ross berg- Buffalo, NY   November 25th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Why the GOP can't just let her tend to Alaska and her brood is beyond me. The exit polls clearly showed that she alienated a huge plurality of independent voters and cost McCain any chance he might have had otherwise, yet here they are trotting her out again!!

Insanity= doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.They must be all smiles in the Martin camp. What a gift to them.

Here comes the 60th. vote!!!

deJohnn   November 25th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

CNN loves to have negative Palin stuff, the more the better. Say something bad about Obama and these comments are shut off at about ten comment! The Dems are sore winners and should hold their breath for awhile while their guy starts his new job.

sansan   November 25th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

p.s. Remind your friends at the PAC that you guys lost and the election is over, no ads need to be run anymore.

Bruce   November 25th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Let's face it….The ONLY reason she's being invited to speak on Chambliss' behalf is because all the folks who are ignorant enough to vote for him are the exact same ones who think Sarah Palin is the greatest politician alive, and he can't win without them.

April   November 25th, 2008 2:56 pm ET

Doesn't she understand? She is a big part as to why McCain lost.

redwhiteblue   November 25th, 2008 2:56 pm ET

Two comments.
Will we ever get rid of her? She is campaigning for Sarah.
Is she still drawing her salary for Alaska governor when she is never there?

JT   November 25th, 2008 2:55 pm ET

How is palin effective? she effectively lost the race for Mccain, she has done nothing for or even in alaska for three months, except the turkey fiasco and a few just palin stupid interviews with moose chili and RNC clothes. Please enlighten us with any of her ACTUAL accomplishments. the gas pipeline? haha.

Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman VP candidate, don't forget, NOT Palin.

Urbo   November 25th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

I think it's great that Palin is willing to help the GOP out. She helped pull the rug out from under McCain and can now do so again. Besides she'll be able to see the opposite shore of Russia from across the Atlantic this time.

bababear   November 25th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

As a Georgia voter, who has already voted, I wish she would just go home and tend to her own business. I agree that Gov of Alaska must be a part time job.

JT   November 25th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

why would anyone in georgia care what the gov of alaska thinks about their senate race? and don't the folks in alaska want her to actually DO something up there? she is never there, unless she is pardoning turkeys.

Allen from Pa.   November 25th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

With over 70 precent of true Americans saying she should go back to Alaska and stay there.Don't see how she will help any Politician.I was told years ago all politicians were crooked some just get caught at it.She's living proof of it.

Sarah Palin is the Mama of the nation and will continue to do good for those in the Republican Party. She is young, fresh female, so all adhere to Mama Position! Palin only wants good for all, however so many are to close minded a ticket of Palin/Clinton would probably work.

"aware", you really need to stop eating paint chips for lunch and breathing in ether all the time! LOL that is one of the most pitiful and pathetic defenses I've ever seen of Caribou Barbie. And to the nimrods who are complaining that CNN is being "biased" and "unfair", understand something, you are outnumbered ten to one. If you go on MSN's site there are just the same number or more of a majority of this country that can't stand her. You people really are pathetic. Going from a proud coalition of Democrats, Independents and Republicans under Reagan and even Bush Sr., you're now reduced to inane fools that invent truths to make yourselves look informed and factual. And you're not even close! So continue to yell at the wind because no one cares anymore. Wow, if I were in your shoes I'd be more concerned with getting my party together after the crushing defeats you all suffered three weeks ago. But it proves my point time and time again with your useless bantor, you just can't accept reality, defeat, common sense and humility, there is a time when you have to just give up and live with reality. Again, immensely proud to see the right wing in defeated ruins.

nan   November 25th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Sarah Palin – Stay in Alaska. You don't do any good anywhere else. Look after your poor son, surely he needs you a lot more than the American people. Americans do not want to hear any more about you. Enough already!!

Darla (Edmonton, Canada)   November 25th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

@ Suzanne

I certainly hope you mean "Yukon" in a generic description of the far north … because if you mean the "Yukon Territory" which happens to be part of Canada … we don't want her here anymore than you do!

@ Governor Palin

Just keep talking … because the more you talk … the less and less likely it will be that anyone considers you a credible candidate for anything in the future.

Bet she bills Chambliss for her travel expenses and if she drags her kids along Chambliss will be invoiced for their travel, chauffeur, security detail, meals and clothing. First Dude Todd also shows up? Same additional costs. Then she will submit travel reimbursement requests to the State of Alaska for her travel, plus her children, plus her husband, plus their meals (no per diem—actual costs) plus clothing, plus hair stylists and clothing, including cleaning. U betcha! "This politicking, ya know, its been just great."

Mike   November 25th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

Do us all a favor and go back to Alaska!!!!!!!!!!
If she was the Gov. of my state and started parading all over the country spouting off stupid remarks and acting like a fool, I would start a petion to remove her from office. Either stay in Alaska and govern or step aside.

Johny   November 25th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

She is the gift that keeps on giving, if you're Leno, Olberman or Letterman. Isn't her 15 up yet? Maybe there is a Turkey farm she can do a photo op at.

Chyrel   November 25th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

So many folks have already stated my sentiments but would this ridiculous wind bag of a one time political figure if you can even call her that just plain and simple disappear into the dark of night. For Crying out loud Palin just stay in Alaska.

JOE GRAY   November 25th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Maybe she can visit her friend Mrs. S. Carolina while she is down south-such as and therefore and the Iraq. It's very funny how she came out all full of herself at the RNC and in the end she was exposed as a complete idiot. The scary part is that there is any percentage of this country that buys her ridiculous act.

steve r. from Wash st.   November 25th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

This is GREAT news for the democrats. What are they thinking . LOL.

Maria   November 25th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Oprah doesn't want her. Remember when Palin begged to be on Oprah's show during election season and Oprah told her that she didn't want candidates on her show until *after* the election. Well, this is Oprah just keeping her promise and picking up a few ratings along the way. Let me remind everyone that Oprah is a staunch pro-choice supporter. I hardly doubt she wants Palin on her show so they can talk about books and politics.

Unshrub   November 25th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

And the republicans are wondering why they are loosing so bad!

nancy   November 25th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

I wonder if she's going to use Alaskan taxpayer money to fly down. I bet the Palin family has always wanted to go to Atlanta, so they're all flying down. Atlanta has some great shopping.

Chris   November 25th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Because she CANNOT win!!

Maria   November 25th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Jimmy H, you have to be kidding. Palin/Rice in '12? I think Rice, herself is much more qualified to lead this nation than Palin. Rice is hyper intelligent, educated, experienced and eloquent. And I think Rice is much too smart to pick someone as Palin as her running mate. I have much respect for Rice and none for Palin. I'm a woman and a democrat.

JP from California   November 25th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

You people are incapable of thinking for yourselves. Let the press tell you what to think – they'll be happy to lead you around by the nose so you don't have to tax those little brains of yours. Like her or not, no one has been treated less fairly by the press than Sarah Palin. And where are the women's rights advocates? Oh that's right, they stand up for women only when they are in agreement with their views. If you don't think abortion is acceptable; if you are one of those dreaded Christians – they'll push you under the bus without thinking twice.

G. Brash   November 25th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

I thought she was sorting thru the designer clothes she didn't pay for — packed in horribly expensive DESIGNER luggage she didn't pay for! Sounds like a reformer maverick taking home the pork! RNC should make an accounting to the public since it was public money who purchased it and it should be the public who benefit either by way of auction or charity! We won't forget.

brian   November 25th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Can't wait to see Palin back on the trail! Love all you liberals and your hate! The fact of the matter is, If you didn't want to hear about her then you wouldnt have taken time to click the link, read the story, and commented! PALIN 2012!!! You only hate her because she is effective.

Carol   November 25th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

You know those birthday candles that you blow out and blow out and blow out, and they just keep coming right back. Well this dear governor reminds me so much of those.

Ritter197   November 25th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Palin is etting back the Women's movement by at least 10 years!

Can't you ever let go, Palin?

Don's you see how you are the ridicule of your party?

Loletha   November 25th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

Woman to Woman Sara Paliar go home to your son, don't your son need you. Let things die down some, your previous campaging was lacking quite a bit of substance. In about 2 years then reappear, right now is not the time.

Kaye- Jacksonville FL   November 25th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Oh please, please, please….someone get this woman back to Alaska and off the front page! If I see her name or face much more, I'll be forced into seclusion. She's a nitwit who appeals to other nitwits….and I guess there's quite a contingency of them out there.

Susan   November 25th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Sarah Palin "…losing her bid to become the nation’s first woman to serve as vice president." Silly me, I was under the belief that Geraldine Ferraro was the first female Vice Presidential candidate representing a major American political party.

Eric   November 25th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

I find it kinda funny that most of the people that keep telling Palin to go back to Alaska are calling her "Sara" or "Plain." Having trouble getting her name right? Anyways, believe it or not, Palin actually did help the Republican party quite a bit. She certainly got alot more people to vote and helped to get a fair amount of votes. I know everyone's been blaming her for McCain not getting elected, but she was the boost of votes he needed till the economy went down the tubes. McCain had no answers for fixing the economy which was his downfall. I know I'll get flamed for that, but it's not like I really care. I'm sure half the commenters will bash Palin for her "stupidity", but you should remember that she was nominated with two days to go before the presidential nomination. Let's see how you guys do with two days to know absolutely everything about the government when you had no intentions of becoming a vice president. Who cares about her "old" views? Honestly, she showed more life than Biden did.

Obi-Wan   November 25th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

I hear there are turkeys to be slaughtered at Pilgrim's Pride headquarters in Georgia. Thank you Republicans for this awesome gift of Palin you have bestowed upon us, the gift that keeps on giving!

Vickie   November 25th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

CNN – Stop focusing on this poser… We voted for someone that can bring us real change – She's been voted out, so give us the relief that we voted for…. No MORE Palin!

Make it stop!   November 25th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Please tell me this is a nightmare, I can't make it stop! I know Todd is pushing her out there, cause he wanted to live in the White House and now he has to go back to being Mr. Mom while she calls the shots. He thought he would be able to lay back and have people wait on him. Todd, give it a break, nobody wants the Palin family around. Alaska is your home, I mean where else can you be first dude? Sarah only calls yoiu that to make you feel less important, cause the fact of the matter is, you're nothing more than her servant.

Dee Boyd   November 25th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Exactly what are the responsibilities of Governor of Alaska? They don't seem to be particularly demanding given the current incumbent has been spending her time yakking it up with whoever will have her on air. Now she's spending her time campaigning in Georgia. Who's minding the store back home?

Drew in Sconnie   November 25th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

If Chambliss loses, maybe Republicans will finally start making the connection between rolling out Palin and losing elections (let's hope not, though.)

jeff in MA   November 25th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

The only women she represents are the far right wing evangelicals and the uneducated who want a woman just like them involved in the future of America. The rest of us want an intelligent, well educated woman. She is totally clueless about everything outside of Alaska and the reason I didn't vote for McCain. She villifies everything negative about people.

Leo - Arizona   November 25th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Excellent! This will help another Democract. It's about time we get things done around here. I do find it bewildering that the Repubs actually think this woman helps them??? I sure hope she runs for President in 2012. Obama won't even need to campaign. Palin will do it for him!

Go Obama !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

H.Nelson An American living In Maastricht Holland   November 25th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

She don't get it nor dose the GOP….It's over morons!!!!!

What an Idiot she is, attention seeker, power hungry dumb of a person. The rest of the country will be sparsely populated like Alaska if this witch is allowed any where near Washington. Help! Please put this rogue away she can't just leave us alone so thank you John McCain.

The AP: "Hmm, I wonder what Palin's doing today?"

Reality: "Shouldn't we be covering the new administration, and examine the apparent shift in policy coming from Mr. Obama?"

The AP: "Nah, I'm too afraid of what I might find. We've fought too hard for Obama to expose him now. I wonder if Palin will brutally cut down a Christmas tree?"

Reality: "Oy-vey!"

carol   November 25th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Oh my stars…..is she back on the scene, I knew she couldn't stay up in Alaska for long, she is missing all the attention.
Is there any chance that she will hook up with good old boy Joe the plumber along the way, se we can see another sideshow….now there will be some interesting speeches to be had again if those two get together…she'll start rambling and he'll be giving advice on the economy.
Perhaps they can both start their book tours on the trail….won't those two books make interesting reading!!!!!……NOT!!!

Ghost   November 25th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

That is hilarious. She'll wind up at the border of Russia and Georgia

Pedro Weisleder   November 25th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Senator Chambliss must be a poor student of history, and out of touch with the majority of Americans. While Ms. Palin may have personal appeal, she has dearth of knowledge on important, yet basic, concepts such as constitutional law, geography, and debate rules. She further seems to be unable to simply say “I don’t know” when applicable. Finally, her naive but jingoistic approach to international relations makes her very dangerous. So go ahead Senator, the majority of those of us who can vote in this country applaud you choice for closer; we can always use more seats in the senate.

kim   November 25th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

now if she didnt benefit john mccain in any way…what makes her think she can benefit saxby? shes so full of herself. she should seriously stay at home and take care of her kids.im thinking of running for some office at some point in the future,im 43, but sarah palin is no role model.a woman with a baby who has downs syndrome… from that point on she should have resigned from office to concentrate on her family and her pregnant teenage daughter… looks like she wasnt around for the sex talk with her daughter either!

Carmen   November 25th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Thank you, Thank you Sarah for campaigning for Saxby Chambliss. Should make it a landslide for the Democrat contender Jim Martin, nothing like a loser campaigning for another loser. Nuff said.

Brenda   November 25th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

I don't get it. She has a special needs baby that doesn't even look like it's ever bonded with her. She has a pregnant teen – and 2 other daughters – where are her priorities? She chose to have all those kids – and sure, you can have a career and children – but campaigning for someone who isn't on the national stage and only at the state level, and yes, he's a senator – but how's that supposed to help alaskans out? Who's running her state? Who's taking care of her family? Oh, yeah, that's right – no one.

Reluctant Georgian   November 25th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Sadly, Chambliss is probably going to win this, despite Caribou Barbie's liability factor. This is GEORGIA, folks… we're not talking about a think tank where voters actually use logic and reason to decide. McSame and Pain (no, that is NOT a typo) won this state… and "Sax-beh" only lost by a moosehair. Pun intended.

I'm afraid he's got it, regardless of how ridiculous his campaigners are.

But I'll you, I WOULD LOVE to see her onstage in downtown Atlanta…. now THAT would be entertainment!

Mernoush   November 25th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

She is such an opportunist that doesn’t want to loose the fame she achieved over a night with the help of a desperate man who just wanted to win the election, so I think we are going to hear from her more and more till 2012 election. But the sad part is that neither she has any knowledge about the world nor is she eager to learn things. I’m personally sick of her nonsense speeches.

jim beam   November 25th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

i wonder if nick ayers is related to bill, and if so, what's the extent of sarah's relationship with him is…

John, Illinois   November 25th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

You have to put away your hatred of this woman and look at the facts of this situation. Yes, Sarah Palin is a very polarizing person; she routinely uses hate speech and has very right wing stances on issues such as abortion and gun control.

But this campaign is in Georgia. Georgia is a traditionally very red state. Even the 'Dixiecrats" of the 70s and 80s were conservatives who couldn't run on the Republican ticket because Lincoln tainted the name by freeing the slaves over 100 years ago (imagine his audacity!). Hate speech and right wing values play in Georgia. And remember the type of campaign Chambliss used to defeat war hero Max Cleland six years ago–it was full of cheap shots and hate.

So, why are they bringing Sarah Palin down to Georgia? Because her type of campaigning is just the red meat that riles up the base to get out and vote, and there's a lot of this type of base to rile up in Georgia. This move would backfire in a large part of the country, but it just may be the thing that gets Chambliss over the top.

Palin is a fraud   November 25th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Sarah Palin has no credentials and so I fail to understand how her opinions matter in another state. For that matter, Alaska has some very serious issues of its own, including plummeting oil prices, and so she should be doing the work she is paid to do, serving as governor of the state.

christo   November 25th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Sarah Palin should stay in Alaska and start taking care of tthat baby, Im so tired of seeing her poor duaghter Willow taking on the job, and now with Bristol pregnant too. She has a lot more family issues and issues in Alaska. Leave the rest of the country alone , I dont want to see that face anymore IM DONE and SHE'S DONE

Sue   November 25th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

I am a white woman, and yes, Sarah Palin instills fear in me. She makes me fearful because I can't believe that such an incompetent and disingenuous person was foisted upon the American electorate. This demonstrates the low opinion the RNC has of the American Population. They clearly chose her to court the women who were upset about Hillary Clinton, and to appease the base, who were appalled that McCain was (before he ran) pro-choice. She was an interesting choice, because who better to make outlandish insinuations and speak with such ugliness than a pretty mom-type. I am further fearful because so many of my less intelligent countrymen and women apparently fell for the ruse, and believe whatever they are told. If you truly believe this woman is competent to run this country, I implore you to refrain from voting in the future, and to seriously consider reading a newspaper.

Erik from Real PA   November 25th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

She's sure to help get the ignorant hillbilly vote sewn up good n' tight.

LyonsPhilly   November 25th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Just the fact that McCain no longer even mentions Sarah Palin's name is an indication that he would rather keep his feeling to himself. I'm sure he's about sick of her. She's like an annoying bug that you just can't hit with the fly swatter.

The Palin Puzzle: Doesn't it scare anyone out there that this sort of person is in our political structure and seems to be going hell bent for election? Really frightens me to think she had a chance to become our vice president, but there she was on the ticket!!! How many others like her are there? We need to do a reality check on our elected people, especially ones like Senator Teddy Kennedy: a life-long alcoholic now with some sort of brain disease and still making decisions for us! God help us!! Someone needs to.

When the socialist regime that this country was just fooled into electing is exposed for what it really is, anti-American (which most liberals are), racist, anti-capitalist(which most liberals are), it will need more then just media protection to shield it from angry Americans. Palin or Romney will walk easily into the presidency in 2012- THANK GOD

Sue in MI   November 25th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

"understand her philosophy on energy related issues" I believe that would be drill, baby, drill, tax the oil men and give to Alaskans, build a pipeline and give to Alaskans, drill in the protected wilderness and give to Alaskans, kill the polar bears, moose, elk, wolves, and turkeys in order to drill, and GIVE TO ALASKANS. Oh, and just "GIVE to Alaskans," early and often. No wonder they like her and Stevens…they are great at grabbing tax dollars from the rest of us. Yes, Palin is the gift that keeps on giving…to the "pro-Americans" white, wealthy, and certain that God is blessing every word they try to say…also.

Frank   November 25th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

The Palin/McCain ticket, as she liked to call it, did worse in Alaska than George W. Bush in 2004. Her popularity there dropped 27 points in the two months after she sent every qualified man, woman and child residing int he state a $1,200 check, on top of the $2,069 check they received a month later. That giveway has left the state, which figured on $80 per barrel oil, in deep financial straits.

Hopefully, she can work the same magic on Chambliss, the man who called war hero Senator Max Cleland "unpatriotic," and who may have stolen the 2002 election through vote rigging.

New Thinker   November 25th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Senator Max Cleland was an intelligent good guy who lost three limbs
defending the U.S.A. during the Vietnam war. Chambliss trashed him in the worst and disrespectful way by attacking his character and integrity which we now know that Chambliss totally lacks. It should be a no-brainer for Republican Georgians to throw the bum out now that the facts are known. Having Palin campaign for him is typical Republican politics but not good for "We the People." Come on Republican Georgians, show the rest of the country that you are not rednecks and hicks from the sticks but that you are thoughtful, intelligent, and full of integrity. Vote for moderate Jim Martin, a stand up guy who can work with the Obama administration to get us out of these messes we all are in up to our necks, and then some.

Amazement at all This   November 25th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

If Saxby wins by more votes than he got in the prior November election, the claim will be that she helped. But f he wins by less, or loses, she will have hurt him..so it is a gamble for the Republicans promoting her. Maybe this will put her on the back burner—altho she will always be intriguing as she is the most unknowledable (but -prettiest) person ever to have run for VP/she makes Dan Quayle look like a genius.She would indeed be better off in the entertainment arena/that would do for everybody who wants this Country to survive, a big favor…

Palin is a Gimmick. To all of you completely out of touch, no sense of reality, Palin fanatics: 99.99% of you are not competent enough to hold any form of public office, and shes less competent than most of you. Are you really that delusional to think that anyone is actually afraid of this fake political prowess your trying to create?? The only reason people (with a shred of intelligence) get so fired up about her, is that they are insulted that the GOP would put the nation in harms way, by even entertaining the idea of putting that incompetent religious fanatic in a possible place of power, just to scrounge up a few gun firing, take away the right to choose, christian fanatic votes

on the other hand… since she's just overexposing herself and doing even more damage to her own party… I can live with the fact that she won't go away. The longer she sticks around,. the more the general public hates her.

And deservedly so.

Cesar   November 25th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

I believe one of the weaknesses of Democracy as a political system is that it allows mediocrities like Sarah Palin not only to survive but also to thrive. And, of course, "the people" are ultimately to blame.

from Georgia   November 25th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Thanks, but no thanks. I was neutral about Saxby Chambliss, but the news of Palin flying from Alaska to stump in Georgia sealed the deal for me. I voted for Martin in the early voting today. Please tell me, Saxby, that she has a round trip ticket! We don't need another carpetbagger here.

Michael   November 25th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

I for one am VERY pleased that Sarah is on the campaign trail for the Republican Senator… it means we are that much closer to a Democrat Super Majority! Come on Sarah, do what you do best… give everyone a reason to vote for the other side!

Lynn   November 25th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Intimidate, Lyle? Give me a break. Many Americans do not like race-baiting, small-minded, egocentrics who simply don't know when to keep their mouths shut. This woman needs to get educated (and I'm not talking about five community colleges in six years type "educated"), and start reading. She needs to check in to life outside Wasilla. Palin doesn't GET Americans, American values, American ideals, or American ethics. She doesn't seem to get much, except how to be opportunistic and self-serving. The bigger the smile, the bigger the lie. She needs to just go away and leave decent Americans alone!

Does this woman never take care of her children? I thought she was in the midst of budget negotiations in good 'ole Alaska. She isn't running her state either. Keep on reminding America of your vast knowledge of issues and command of the English language, Sarah, and you'll be a shoe-in to lose in Iowa and New Hampshire and then, at last, leave the stage. Maybe she can lose her re-election campaign first. She's like a bad penny.

Send her out to campaign with all the rednecks. They'll love her. But, then, they were already going to vote for Chambliss any way, weren't they. That's Sarah's problem – she excites the people who are already on-board. She apparently holds no sway over the moderates and independents who will be the real focus of this election.

I thought when the election was over, she would return to Alaska. Whoever thought she would appeal to the professional, intelligent, voting woman was out of their minds. Will someone please give her a reality show, set in Alaska, called Wannabee Barbie and her Creepy Husband. Doesn't anyone else find his "hovering" creepy.

Annie, Atlanta   November 25th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Oh yeah, I can't wait. She was so effective on her last campaign trail – stirring up hatred and fear, that is. All I can say is if this is the type of person Republicans want out there representing them, have at it.

Chris   November 25th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Doesn't Palin have a job in Alaska? How important or relevant could she be by missing this much work? I'm sure Alaskans do not appreciate her absences. Most of us who are fortunate enough to be employed in this bad economy, would be fired for missing this much work.

GS   November 25th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

You people who are still in support of this woman are soooooo funny.
She may not be entirely stupid, but she demonstrated clearly that she was not suited to be our VP. Why are you still harping on her running in 2012? Rather than running to Georgia to campaign she needs to be reading and trying to comprehend everything she can about this country – not just Alaska, current policies and international relations. She needs to read a book, not just look at the pictures.

You people want to know why she is constantly being bashed?? DID YOU WATCH THE COURIC & GIBSON INTERVIEWS????? She didn't have a clue! Did you REALLY listen to her campain speeches??? Nothing but negativity and hate!!! Nothing insightful, nothing to prove to those of us with a brain that she was qualified.

She did more harm than good in the presidential election. You guys need to face that fact and deal with it. And if you can't…well they do say that birds of a feather….

RH from Wisconsin   November 25th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

john   November 25th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

Alaska must be the perfect State, with no problems and nothing that needs the governor to oversee. That must be the reason Palin is down here in Georgia.

I guess it must be since people in that state are raising thousands of dollars to thank Palin for her VP run instead of using that money to help the less fortunate.

GO AWAY Palin!

Its sad that she is so dumb, and people will still listen to her, if I was in Georgia I would vote against every person she campaigns for, I dont hate her, but I think she is just the dumbest person beside GW Bush to join politics..

Sankoji   November 25th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

I sincerely hope that in the midst of all of her campaigns, talk-shows and publicity stunts in the lower-48–all while Alaska is beginning to suffer its own economic crisis–that the voters of Alaska get sick of having an absentee governor in power. I live in the lower 48, but if I were an Alaska resident, I'd be truly insulted that she's campaigning for someone in Georgia when her own state is in danger of failing economically (due to the falling price of oil).

One would hope she would prioritize her responsibilities as governor instead of campaigning for others during this time.

Charlie   November 25th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

It is simply amazing to me that folks blame McCain/Palin for the racist
remarks, etc., during and after the campaign. I think folks ought to look
at the tabloids and see who was the most racist and I think you will find that the OBAMA campaign and it's minions where right up their.

You people are incapable of thinking for yourselves. Let the press tell you what to think – they'll be happy to lead you around by the nose so you don't have to tax those little brains of yours. Like her or not, no one has been treated less fairly by the press than Sarah Palin. And where are the women's rights advocates? Oh that's right, they stand up for women only when they are in agreement with their views. If you don't think killing unborn babies is acceptable; if you are one of those dreaded Christians – they'll push you under the bus without thinking twice.

JoeP   November 25th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

She's the Republican Cheerleader…they will use her whenever possible…All you need to do is pay her $150,000 so she can get her hair and makeup done and get all dressed up in designer names she's never heard of and she's ready to say anything that comes up in her mind.

California Girl   November 25th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

I am very liberal – so are my comments – and l rarely get my comments printed. it isn't about liberal v. conservative here. I have no idea what the criteria is, since some of my dumber comments come through, and the smart ones don't. So calm down – you repubs are sooo paranoid.

Carrie in Idaho   November 25th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

She certainly is a polarizing figure — some despise her, some love her. But any Republican party figure with any brains knows she was a fatal drag on the McCain campaign. She can rally the Republican base, and that might do the trick for Chambliss, but the more she sashays in front of the camera and does her thing, the more the future of the Republican party goes down the tubes. She's come to represent that wing of the party that wants to purify its message and drive off anyone who isn't a true believer in their cause, and that's a narrow group. That will not win a general election.

So speaking as a Democrat: Glad to see you're back, Sarah.

Irony   November 25th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

I also too think that it's kinda cute, guys and gals, how neat it is that the governor is campaigning to help Saxby loose the runoff. We are a nation divided by intelect, the stupids vote like sheep for the Republicans, who are no longer true conservatives, while the smart vote for whats best for our country. False christians hiding behind doublespeak leading our nations rednecks to the slaughterhouse and economic downfall amuses me. Go ahead, vote against your own best interests, see what it will get you. Economy in the toilet, but record profits for the rich. Don't you get it yet? Pro life, until 18, then lets have a war mentality won't save your children. Jesus died for our sins, we might as well use them while we've got them doesn't go over well as an argument at the pearly gates.

I'm sure he knows how many people dislike this woman and if he loses the race, then he can use her as an escape goat. Personally, I wish she would go away and do her job in Alaska. Hopefully, she had brushed up on her English speaking skills and will learn to put words together in a coherent manner so that people in the lower 48 will understand what she is trying to convey in her tirades at the podium.

Is that so bad? I mean whats wrong with the guy whos gonna be running our country for the next 4 – 8 years, telling us whats going on and where our country's headed.

For all of you that still don't get why so many dislike Sara Palin, there is nothing left to say to you.
However, Please keep Sara Palin in Alaska, and preferably out of politics. She has instigated the racists in our country and brought them out of the woodwork. Here in Mississippi, McCain and Palin did NOTHING but give the “good old boy” “the south will rise again” double talking racists the opportunity to relate to her and spew hatred and miss- information.
She is not stupid or miss informed but she is dangerous and would have left McCain in the dust if given the opportunity. Because she herself has such poor judgment on her own qualifications, she is not qualified or vetted or informed or educated enough to be in National politics. Please keep Sara Palin in Alaska, and preferably out of politics

I find it incredibly frightening that so many people actually like the twit and not only like her think she would do well in power. I understand about demagoguery and mob mentality. Her speeches are about the same as a corporate mission statement. Those mission statements don't actually say anything meaningful, they are nothing but a few made up words in corporate speak, and they are long and tedious. I could see her as president and like Rome the republic will fall and instead of an empire for a form of gov't we adopt the PTA model, that is so familiar to "hockey moms". Since she was confused about the whole Africa as continent concept, has anyone told her what the deal is with Australia. Does anyone know where she is on her history knowledge ? I would bet money she thinks the cold war was a war fought in the artic.

Lyle its not that people are afraid of her, I doubt anyone at anytime felt threatened by her, except perhaps McCain, it's the fact that she is ignorant about the world and she will not go away. A majority of people dont want to hear anything else from her again. The stuff she said on the campaign trail should disqualify her from ever speaking publicly again.

She's a disgrace to motherhood and her husband needs to "MAN UP" and stop being "Mr Mom" and get out into the workforce and provide for his family!!!

Please allow them to see that you cannot blame Clinton for the eight years after his presidency (Future) while blaming the Democratic Congress for our current situation (Present) and Obama for the two months prior to his Presidency (Past). Please show them that people with different colors on their skin are every bit as good if not better than themselves. Grant them the humility to realize that they have no right to project their own flawed morals upon others that seek to share their lives together in peace and tolerance. Show them that you cannot drill for more oil and protect our planet at the same time. Lord, please raise the price of gas continuously until we finally find something else. Please teach them how to spell so they don't look so dumb when they try to respond to this.

But don't confuse that with fear. By all means, run her in 2012. We would be more than pleased to see that. The hate and division politics that got Bush re-elected in 2004 are history. There are not enough voters who agree with her extreme views for her to win.

I better hide now that Palin is traveling South to Georgia – if she knows how to find Georgia that is. We have folks in Georgia that relish the hard core social values of Palin. It is bad enough to see Chambliss on television every ten minutes with another anti-Martin commercial. Now I will have to suffer with hearing the annoying voice of Palin too.

keefus   November 25th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

This may have already been stated but the reason Palin is going to Georgia is to raise cash for Chambliss. She gets lots of mileage out of her folksiness and her pro gun stance, especially in rural GA.

To "Truth Be Told" and others who said similar things:

I really hope you're right. But I have some family in Georgia and many friends from Georgia and I can tell you that they – and the rest of the deep south – don't think like the rest of us. They think the bigger your Bible (and it better be the King James Version), the better your qualifications for office. Knowledge of world events, policies, the economy, etc., is secondary, because God will provide the wisdom necessary.

A lot of Georgians love Palin.

Let me just add that I pray for God's wisdom for our leaders every day, but I also believe in electing qualified people – regardless of their Bibles.

For the purpose that she's needed here (rallying the Evangelical base), she'll be a help…
But Repulicans have to be out of their minds if they think she is a serious national candidate. Polls don't lie…Democrats disapproved of her at Bush-like levels, Independents had a high negative opinion of her (near the 60% range), and really only self-identified Republicans supported her. If Republicans want to lose national elections by winning 40-45% of the vote, then by all means, please keep trotting her out on the national stage. It's not like people don't know who she is, she's opened her mouth a million times and we've all heard from her. And don't give the "filter of the MSM" line…she sounded equally terrible on Hannity's show as she did with Katie Couric…she's just an uneducated woman of below-average intelligence and there's only so many ways to cover that up.

david Armendale, SF, CA   November 25th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

to all the crybaby Republicans getting their talking points from Rush and Sean to complain about Obama carrying out policy pronouncements under the aegis of Office of President Elect: hang in there. In January he'll be sworn in as the actual POTUS. Then you'll have one less thing to complain about. Right? In the meantime, you should really get somebody to change your diaper.

I am not an Amercian citizen, but I can tell you this:
Obama has given people around the world hope. He is the real deal.

Sarah Palin, probably is a nice lady BUT she "pretends" too much, hence every time she opens her mouth, she puts her foot in it.

She is just like roaches…..never goes away

Bev   November 25th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Sara, Stay in Alaska where you belong. Just remember McCain lost because of you. Not that I was for McCain anyway. Glad Obama won.
You are nothing but a contemptious and a negative campaigner.
It seems you didn't learn from your past mistakes or were the least bit critical of yourself in anyway.

Lyle -

You are delusional and need to take your meds. We are not commenting negatively about her because we are afraid or intimidated by her. We comment negatively because she is the antithesis of everything we stand for, believe in, and expect from our leaders. She is not powerful, nor is she accomplished. She is also not wildly popular across the political spectrum. Dems generally despise her and what she stands for. Most women can't stand her – we are generally pro-choice, after all. And our attacks on her are 100% justified; much more justified than her attacks on PE Obama ever were. Lyle, she is not even educated. Get a life.

"Intimidate" is by far the wrong word. It's "infuriate".

Why? Because of all of her lies and innuendos that were time and time again disproved, and the idiot just kept on repeating them. We need UNITY in this country and Palyin' was doing her best to DIVIDE the country.

I hope most Georgians will see the truth and get out and vote for a true leader, not a road block to true progress.

A Republican Party in total disarray. Palin is not what is needed to attract new republicans particularly Women, Latinos, African & Asian Americans. Republican party as it is today represents the 20th century – white racist Americal – NOT the 21st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin is the perfect poster child for what ails the Republicans. Not too bright, good at lying, and loaded for moose when they're up against a bear.

Rj5000   November 25th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

If anybody wonders why there's such a strong anti- Palin sentiment. A- This country is tired of ignorant, smug and misguided idiots in office. She came onto the national scene dissing Obama in her well read tele-prompter speech at the RNC. Then she proved to be an empty suit in her interviews. So for all you Palin supporters, as long as she's in the public eye, there will always be hate for your Barbie.

tallskinnyguy   November 25th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Ms. Palin, please, go away. Although I'm a Democrat, I actually do want to see the GOP have effective, thoughtful and deliberative leadership. The welfare of our country depends on both parties aspiring to be such. And you are a total, complete drag on the hopes of the Republican Party ever leading this country in the right direction. With you, we can only go back to the stone ages. (Oh wait, you don't even believe in that—the earth is just a meek 6,000 years old. My bad.)

Why would any candidate with an intelligence quotient higher than a rock
allow Ms. Palin to appear on their behalf at any time? She is a complete joke and should be returning to Alaska, where she will, one would hope, actually attend to her state's business for a change as opposed to her shameless campaign of self-promotion. She is the political equivalent of The View: all talk, no substance. Go home, and shoot a moose or two, and leave the rest of us alone.

Cori from Colorado   November 25th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

"Palin still has the power to intimidate Mr. Obama’s supporters. Even though Mr. Obama has been elected, his supporters are still afraid of this powerful, accomplished woman."

Lyle, haven't you been reading people's comments? She's pure entertainment, like Paris Hilton. She "accomplished" nothing, and is in no way "powerful" or "intimidating". We love laughing at the big joke she's become, that's why people read/write about her. You're delusional. As stated before, she's the car wreck on the side of the road you really don't want to see, but you just can't help it. Ha, ha, ha!

MT   November 25th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

First of all, SP isn't even worth the trouble of commenting. The real issue is how Chambliss won this seat in the first place.
To tie a Vietnam hero in Max Cleland to Bin Laden and Saddam is an outright tragedy. Max left three limbs on the battlefield for this country and GA voters allowed themselvesto elect SB? Tragic, shame on you GA for 6 yrs ago and for even giving him this opportunity to retain his seat.

G.R.I.T.S. - Girl Raised in the South   November 25th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Yes, inat2, the President Elect must give a speech every day. If he did not, you would complain that he is doing nothing. As far as I can tell, he is stepping in to fill the leadership vacuum created by Bush's notable absence and his silence on our economic troubles.

By a landslide, Obama won the election. Now we want to hear how he's going to help us and fix the problems that the republicans caused over the years. He's behaving more presidential than Bush ever did, and we are glad he's talking to us whenever possible. We WANT to hear what he has to say. DUH.

Isn't Georgia the redneck capital of the world?? Don't they dislike anyone not pure white? Palin's family is definitely not pure white, got some Alaska Indian blood flowing through their veins, them Palin's.

kat   November 25th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

The thing that amazes me when I read comments from the far right that claim that the center left is so hate-filled, is that I do not remember the Obama crowds EVER calling for the death of McCain or Palin. Never. Not even on election night when Obama beat the "crap" out of McCain and McCain delivered that gracious speech, it was the Republican audience that booed and hissed every time Obama's name was mentioned. Is this supposed to be some type of reverse psychology? Do they not think that we see these things? I'll tell you what… when the far right begins to tell the truth about ANYTHING, then we that populate the center-left will start to pay positive attention to what you people have to say. Until then, give it up.

Mark   November 25th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

"Give it up, Sarah! You have proven you are neither qualified nor suitable, no pun intended, for public office. Go back to college and learn to speak and write correctly."

Your last sentence should apply more to the bloggers on CNN. People need to be careful about casting stones at Sarah Palin for being dumb. Lets not forget that it was Mr. Obama that said we have 57 states in the USA. So if you are going to call Mrs. Palin dumb or stupid, then the same can be said for Mr. Obama.

Judging from all the negative comments posted here and those posted to every Sarah Palin story it is clear that Mrs. Palin still has the power to intimidate Mr. Obama’s supporters. Even though Mr. Obama has been elected, his supporters are still afraid of this powerful, accomplished woman.

Sarah Palin continues to be wildly popular with many Americans, of all parties and her strength is not diminished, but rather reinforced by these continued negative, unjustified attacks from the radical left. So keep it up, she grows stronger by the day!

Enough already with this twit. If I were a taxpayer in Alaska i would be very angry. She was elected to Govern the State of Alaska. After all the time she just wasted on the campaign trail in her obviously doomed bid to be Vice President she should stay in Alaska and do the job she was elected to do there. She is so stupid she doesn't even realize she is the laughing stock of this country. The American people spoke when they voted for Obama. She should go quietly into the night and stay there. No one is at all interested in anything she has to say. Good riddance already!!!!

So? She didn't keep the clothes! What she did do is spread a vile hatred and paranoia that has divided this country to horrific levels… McCain deserved so much better then the legacy she provided.

A Real Feminist   November 25th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

There is a shift happening in America. We now know just how dangerous ignorance about governance in government is. Palin represents the old way of bravado and personality on the campaign trail to win an election. We want politicians who can do more than win an election. We want someone who can actually govern. Chambliss needs to run on a plan not personality and Palin's free time would be better spent taking political science, geography and economics at an Alaskan university–actually knowing the job she aspires to. It takes more than a gut check to be an effective president of the United States. We live in a global economy. New rules, my friends.

curtis   November 25th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Bill   November 25th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Having the empty-headed Alaskan show up to campaign for him could result in his defeat. I think Sarah should go back to Alaska and continue preparations for her daughter's shotgun wedding.

dan   November 25th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Since all this is filtered and moderated by the almighty CNN (balanced media) nothing that does not reflect CNNs view can go through. No wonder the whole thing smells donkyeeash. This is a mean crowd for sure, mean and always ungly side of this crowd –

Palin or for that matter no one should pay attention to these mean messages. They just tell a lot about CNN and their friends.

Ronald   November 25th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Hopefull she continues to speak…

Clearly she and the GOP are complete MORON"S.

They just need to prove themselfs a little bit more so they can kept their base alive.

Indeed Palin keep talking !!!

values   November 25th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

To "Jim", who spoke about values…

As a strong Christian with strong moral values, I can tell you that overall I admire Gov. Palin's personal values (aside from that whole "abuse of power" thing. Oh, and the "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" thing). What I also look for in a leader, however, is COMPETENCE.

And, by the way, Obama has strong personal values, too. Don't know what you think of McCain, but his multiple affairs while married to his first wife really makes me wonder about him…

T, Atlanta   November 25th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

@ Sam:
I think you are missing the point. Palin may have raised 100 million dollars for the Republican Party, but she probably also raised 300 million dollars for the Democrats :)
And nobody doubts that she will draw Republican voters to the polls, but I bet these will be outnumbered by the independents that are reminded by her presence to vote for Martin. Fine by me, really!

Ron in Austin Texas   November 25th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

The Great Depression followed several years of Republican government. Then the Democrats had to start fixing the economy, and it took the advent of World War II (ten years later) to complete the recovery. WHY would ANYone in their right mind vote Republican now, when we appear to be in a similar quandry? ESPECIALLY an uneducated, inarticulate, dumb person whose main claim to fame is having been a beauty queen twenty years ago? Just because she happens to possess an unending desire for publicity and power?

cool onlooker   November 25th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

Carlos   November 25th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

The artical says of Palin…"losing her bid to become the nation’s first woman to serve as vice president". Um, that is blatantly false. Are there no fact checkers? What about Ferraro? Sloppy work CNN.

Larry t   November 25th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

The negative comments about Palin proves that people just don't get it when it comes to understanding Republicans. And to defeat Republicans you have to understand them.
Republicans do not believe in a strong government, just a strong army. Basically they think of Government as errand boys and security guards i.e hired help that should know its place. This neither requires intelligence nor leadership skills nor vision. And it certainly means they don't want any candidates that have something to say about they way things ought to be. Republicans can think for themselves (and everyone else too). So to insult a candidates intelligence when it means nothing, absolutely nothing to them is pretty much a losing argument.

jesuino leduino rosa   November 25th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Chamblis is going to run away with this elections if they keep Sara Pail out of it, remember what repened to MacCain, do not make de same ting hapens again.

People make no sense   November 25th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Brad – I'm not understanding how you think Obama or the old Clinton cabinet will hurt America. The Clinton years were the most prosperous in American history for all americans', and he left a surplus. Reagon, Carter, Bush 1 & 2 left huge debts. For the life of me I will never understand, how people think Reagon was a good president. Carter sucked as a president as well. The only good times were during the Clinton years, so why would you want to reinvent those years. I get it you want the Reagon years of depression, or Bush 1 & 2.

J.R.   November 25th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Ok folks, can you tell I have too much time on my hands. Part of the "new American Economy." She might be totally dumb, but that is not Sarah's fault, and not just GW's (even though it looks like he is working for bin Laden). We get what we pay for and what we vote for. Government can't save us. Let's quit bit_ _ ing and get off our but_ s for a change.

Stephen   November 25th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

After reading this article earlier this morning, I went to my polling place today in Cobb County and voted early for Jim Martin. Sarah Palin's involvement definitely caused me to get off my butt and go vote. Anything that she's involved with needs to be STOPPED!!!! Saxby is just as divisive in Georgia as Palin was during the campaign. The only thing missing is the white sheet.

Claire   November 25th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Does Alaska not require a governor? Why doesn't she do an honest day's work and leave the lower 48 ALONE

Sam7_OR   November 25th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

That just goes to tell you that there are some people in this country who are totally oblivious to what’s right and what’s wrong. These so called “Conservatives” are just like lemmings… oh yah: a Lemming is a member of a large group of people who blindly follow one another on a course of action that will lead to destruction for all of them…

Michael M, Phoenix AZ   November 25th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Wouldn't it be better if she stayed in her state of Alaska and got back to work first? I noticed that McCain was off to Georgia also right after the election….hmmm just like old time for him….that is not being around to really be a Senator from my state, AGAIN!

Andy H   November 25th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

Brad, after 8 years of Bush many of us were prepared to vote for Atilla the Hun rather than another Republican. I was a Republican up until Bush.

Missy Pooh   November 25th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

The GOP just doesn't get it. If I were running for office, she would be the last person that I would ask for help. Palin probably feels she needs to redeem herself and that's why she wants to keep her face in the media. She feels she will do just one thing right to make people feel like she has some credibility. She should just lay low for awhile and let the negativity wear off and maybe people will give her a little respect. I don't think she's a bad person, I just think she's misinformed about alot of things and does nothing to educate herself.

Tulsa   November 25th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
…..God I love the Republican party! Haven't laughed so much in all my life as I have since Nov 4.
What a bunch of little crybabies. You guys were all tough and mean till you got your butts handed to you. Now you're all "victims" of the mean old nasty liberals you once called "weak".
Dumba$$es. You deserve to be walked on for a few years. Cry me a river you little bed-wetters.

sharon, newport news, virginia   November 25th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!After watchin her interview while the turkey was being killed and blood everywhere and she didn't flinch, I was so through with this stupid, clueless woman. "I didn"t hear it – I didn't see it" doesn't work. She will say anything or be anywhere to get her face on tv. I would like to buy her for what she thinks she is worth and sell her for what she is worth. How desperate must the candidate be to get her there. Maybe you can show her interview in the background while she speaks. Maybe she can accuse his opponent of palling around with terrorists. Wake up Republicans – SARAH PALIN IS NOT NOT NOT YOUR FUTURE!!!!! She is an insult to women who actually do have intelligence.

tas   November 25th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Unfortunately, there is alot of hatred in our country. It is rather cowardly to enter such comments. I continue to be disappointed in people who write very negative comments. By the way, Sarah Palin did not get to keep the clothes.

bob   November 25th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

A lot of you seem concerned about Sarah getting paid by the taxpayers for these appearances, where were you when Barack worked only 143 days in the US Senate, then decided to run for the Presidency?
What about the 161 "present" votes in the Illinois Senate?? Did the taxpayers of Illinois decide they were paying his salary as a "campaigner" instead of a Senator?
Your memory is really short, because those 161 present votes are the proof that we need, that Sarah has more balls than Barack!!

dan   November 25th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

However, she is not crunchy—-just soggy.

This woman is beyond pathetic. She's such a narcissist it makes me sick. She needs to be home tending to her job as govenor of Alaska, not to mention her downs syndrome baby! She's such a hypocrite! It's all about her!

Greg   November 25th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Well, it looks like she really plans to support OBAMA and help this country get back on its feet and help us all work together. Her really aim is to make sure that we will go through 4 years of hell, have millions of people unemployeed. Make sure our 401K are worth $0.00, so she can get elected as President. Does she know what the President's job is?

bitter_in_pa   November 25th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

I can't understand this.for the life of me. The Christian far right and "Focus on the Family" group, which Gov. Palin is part of and endorsed by are always stressing "family values". Now Gov Palin has a special needs child, a daughter that is about to become a mother soon with her first grandchild, and a supposed wedding to happen also. Shouldn't THAT be more important than running around the country doing the campaign deal? Family values take a back seat I guess to politics and fame.

Gloria - Minnesota   November 25th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Why does this article refer to her as "Republican vice presidential nominee"? That is no longer (Thank God) her title. She is FORMER Republican…. Granted, further on in the article it is stated that she lost as a Vice Presidential nominee, but I would hope that she wouldn't continue to be referred to as a nominee for Vice President! She is a Governor, although I don't believe she is qualified for that office any more than for the national office she sought!

Frann Altman in CA   November 25th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Interesting comments. We here in Illinois have not heard from our do nothing senator in a year and a half. At one time he was elected to represent us so Palin is doing what every politician does. The only silver lining to Obama in the white house instead of Palin is we will be rid of a do nothing senator who has no acomplishments to his name as senator

Anne E.   November 25th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

This woman is no longer interested in being governor of Alaska. Doesn't seem to me like she's much interested in anything other than the spotlight and 15 more minutes of fame.

ATLian   November 25th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

I'm ashamed to be from Georgia. This will seal the deal for Chambliss.

Mike   November 25th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

If Palin does campaign for Saxby, will she campaign at a turkey slaughterhouse? THAT would be appropriate.

Paul C.   November 25th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

Yep, again the media can't get enough of this mediocre miserable nothing from Alaska. And yes Palin supporters I do call her that because that is what she is. Boo hoo if you don't like it. You hypocrites can always dish it out but never take it. Tough, as long as you morons keep propping up this idiot, I'll enjoy chopping her down along with the rest of the mentally challenged who voted McCain or still have some fetish for Caribou Barbie. Now onto the Georgia Senate Race. I cannot imagine in my 39 years on this planet in this life that the voters there would elect a known draft dodger, Saxby Chambliss, over a war hero like Max Cleland (lost both his legs and an arm in Vietnam). Amazes me that the same ignorant monkeys who whined and cried over Bill Clinton not going to Vietnam when most right wing cowards were able to get out of service and enjoy the benefits of student deferments, i.e. Dick Cheney & Saxby Chambliss. I really hope and pray that the voters in Georgia don't fall for this low life Charlatan and send the phoney back into civilian life where he belongs. Come on Georgia, step up to the plate and show the country that you're not a bunch of inbred moronic hicks, rather informed voters who will do the right thing.

Charm   November 25th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

Palin has to be the most comical politcal figure of all time. Maybe before closing her speech for Saxby, she can do an impromtu moose-chili cook-off or have a turkey beheaded and plucked for all her star-struck followers.

The Dumb Dirty Dems are so afraid of Sarah Palin because she can and will become the first woman President in this country and she happens to be a Republican. That's part of the reason why they hate her so much; because she's not in the democratic party.
The media has done a great brainwashing job and a great disservice to this country with their negative remarks and lies about the Republican candidates. But they will go on and continue with their lies, just to get people to read their dirty remarks and listen to their dirty comments. I think they're right when they talk down to Americans and say that the American people are stupid. They do it all the time; It's just that, like I said, people are too stupid to realize it.

If Sarah Palin gets on 'Dancing With the Stars', we all need to write the head of programming at ABC and the Disney people who own ABC. Plus if she ever gets on there, I feel sorry for Len Goodman and the other judges if they say anything negative to her, if she was on there. I doubt I'd watch and it would be a waste of a season. Maybe she could get on 'Survivor' or that show where they go to Kajakistan only set it in Zimbabwe if Palin is on there. Just an idea.

Mccain won by 200,000 votes in Georgia due to the white rednecks who didnt want a black man to win. Palin had nothing to do with it.

For all that Aaska has means to this country, it is sad to think that it will forgever be known in history as the home of Palin, that Nut from the North. Its really too bad that the GOP still allows her to run around this country in its name. Palin just needs to go home and disappear into the fabric of society and drop the notion of a future national political position. Go back to being a hockey mom.

We lost the presidency because of Palin . . . we have a shot at this senate seat in Georgia. She is not the new face of the Rebulican party. We deserve better! Gov. Palin, please think about someone other than you're own starry eyed dreams. Our party has something good to say . . . it just cannot come out of your mouth . . . no matter how hard you try.

There are more voters in the small area of Georgia where she's acting out than there are in her entire state. This explains why she has so much time on her hands and thinks governance is easy.

Anna, ATL   November 25th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

actually, she did congratulate Obama on his victory and vowed to support him in any way she could, and also commented on the historic nature of his election.
She was asked not to speak on election night, and left it to Sen McCain.

Act like adults…Give her a break!

P.T.   November 25th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Sarah maybe be lacking fundumental understanding and knowlege of basic issues (foreign and domestic) but she know as much as it is much warmer in GA this time of the year than in Alaska! Have to give her credit for that….or maybe not…Just hope she is planning on bringing her poor kids with her….

Jeff in Illinois   November 25th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Sam November 25th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Sam…That is a rather slim margin in a traditionally heavily red state. By Kool-aid drinkers, do you mean: "Americans who actually bother to think"? And what, do you think Palin can draw more at rallies and raise more money than the Dems can? Come on, you're not really that far off-base from reality, are you?

Also, I don't think that many people hate Palin, people just hate her actions, her twisted world-view, and complete and total lack of intelligence or integrity.

She's in her element once again. Chambliss is running the nastiest and misleading campaign. His ads are shameful. And HEREeeeeee's SARAH! How perfect.

mistera   November 25th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

You liberals need to give the palin bashing a break. You should be paying more attention to your what new elect president is doing. A third Term clinton administration Give this new administration a couple of years and the republicians will be the majority again. You guys are sad.

Donna in Michigan   November 25th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Gov. Palin, your state needs you not the rest of the country.

BS not Maverick   November 25th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

OK,
Nothing gets Obama Supporters off their butts and into the voting booth like Sahara Pailin!!!
Time to start the Obama Comunity Org. Machine and get Martin voted in!

Niesy   November 25th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

She is TRYING really hard to stay in the spotlight!!! I wish that she take her crazy behind back to Alaska and STAY…PLEASE!!!!!!!! What a really stupid woman!!!!

SJ   November 25th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

The Republican Party has officially embraced stupidity as a plank in their national platform.

Dave   November 25th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

Hey, Brad… be glad to, but I think you'll be the one surprised with the improvements Obama has made. However, I'll be glad to accept your sincere admission of an honest mistake.

Brian   November 25th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Who's running Alaska these days?

If Palin does not want to perform her duty as Governor of Alaska, then perhaps she can be replaced.

Someone has to speak up about Palin and her obvious disregard to her obligations to Alaska! :(

Well, at least the Democratic Party will be stronger, thanks to Palin! :D

If we are lucky, Palin will be responsible for the Democrats to have a filibuster power in the Senate! :D

She still scares you   November 25th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Curtis - Marietta, GA   November 25th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Well, I'm glad that I'm leaving town for the holidays while she is here. I don't want to be in the same state as this woman and it looks like I might be able to keep that dream alive!

Also, bad move Chambliss. I wasn't going to vote on 12/02, but now I will just because you brought her to where I live! If you believe in Palin, I don't believe in you.

Marie   November 25th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Yes she is ripping off Sheriff Marge Gunderson of "FARGO" no one else in Alaska talks like that but her. She is a JOKE……………..He will lose big time now, smells like desparation mixed in with moose chili………..

Barb   November 25th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Okay, there goes my vote for Saxby, I am now voting for Martin

Dave   November 25th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

Hopefully, Palin will do for Chambliss what she did for McCain and he'll lose big time!

jeff   November 25th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

At least she is new and freash….something obama promised but it basically looks like Clinton people are back at the white house. So much for new ideas and fresh faces!!! You asked for it….you got it…enjoy!.

Minnesotan   November 25th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

It's obvious she has no interest in working in her own state anymore. So why are the people of Alaska stuck paying for this woman to travel around and avoid her duties. We had the same problem with our own governor, Tim Pawlenty, when he was 'too busy' to actually do the job we elected, and are paying him for.

FAYE, NV   November 25th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Palin has energy but no sound knowledge and I with many have no ideal what she's talking about most of the time. Good luck.

Christopher   November 25th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

LMAO!!!! Obviously this guy doesnt want to win. What a joke!

Terri   November 25th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

What happened to the "devoted mother" to her special needs child?
Remember during the campaign, she was on stage with that baby in her arms dang near every outing.
Since then though, we haven't seen that child in her arms one single time.
This woman is absolutely the lowest of the low – and then lower still.

Mike   November 25th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Good to see that the looney left intolerance levels are still at record highs, even after putting their putz into the White House.

Rachel   November 25th, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Palin must be ready for a new swanky wardrobe. She needs to go back to school. No wonder she is popular in Alaska. They must be as nim witted as she is. Thought she is supposed to be a Govenor or something up there. Does she have that much leave left over?

JWR   November 25th, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Maybe that will encourage more BARACKO voters to come out and vote for Martin and the Repubs that did vote for McCain/Palin will realize that we will need a senator who can work with BARACKO. Georgia is in big economic trouble, Chamblis has a problem with BARACKO thus creating a problem for us.

SickAndTired   November 25th, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Not going too deep into her inability to ignite the NATIONAL Republican base during the Presidential election, just what does a lifetime resident of Alaska know who is best candidate for the citizens of Georgia? That is what is being decided in Georgia. Which of these 2 candidates is better for Georgia? And since there is no way for Governor Palin to KNOW either of these candidates, she is basically going down there with the standard party argument. Since this one is Republican, that is the candidate you should choose. And frankly, regardless of which party is using that argument, it has gotten old.

Minnesotan   November 25th, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Pardon me that was $150,000 not $150.00 in clothes. You know the clothes that were to be donated the charity. Her clothes rack is full.

Carl Justus   November 25th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

The sad thing about this is that the media, the agents, hollywood, and even Oprah want her.
That just goes to show how much those folks are out of touch with the Real America and its people.
How do they come up with her to be someone who can make millions and win elections, I do not understand, but I guess that shows how dumb I really am.

Former republican army wife   November 25th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Thank you Sarah. Although I live in NC, you motivated me to donate $25.00 to the Democratic party down in Georgia. I am amazed the people of Alaska are still paying her salary. First, traveling the country running for VP, then the repub governors conference, and now this. You would think the people of Alaska would actually want their governor to spend some time in Alaska. Although, if my governor was Palin, I would want her out of the state as well. I was a die-hard republican voter all my life, until Palin joined McCains ticket. I have never volunteered for a campaign in my life, but 2 weeks after Palin being picked, I was an Obama volunteer. I actually had planned on voting for McCain, whomever he picked, but I jjst couldn't give that woman my vote.

Joshua College Station Texas   November 25th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

And her opinion matters why? She will show up for a days or two, get some press, and then leave. She doesn't give a hoot about Georgia. It's all about her.

The same goes for Romney, Giuliani and the others. What a joke.

Georgia voted for McCain/Palin by a margin of 200,000 votes. Sorry kool-aid drinkers, by bring Palin in the deal is sealed for Saxby. Are you a Governor? Can you draw thousands and thousands…at rallies? Can you raise hundreds and hundreds of million of dollars in one month, Yes, one month? How can so many people hate one woman, says something about ones up bring.

pittpa   November 25th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Palin is so dumb that she doesnt realize she is stupid. She thinks she still has a shot to be the first female vice/president. Good luck with that! The media loves her because she gives them something to talk about.

Mack   November 25th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

They seem to go everywhere she goes. They need to be in school getting the education Sarah and Todd didn't get!!

I'm Thankful....   November 25th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

I'm wondering if she truly "thanked God" that His will was done on November 4th? And did she forget to congratulate the President-Elect Obama and the Blue Team on their momentous victory…for which she largely contributed? Just askin'…

Thank you Gov'nor…for all that you do ~ and for all that you fail to do.

James   November 25th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

I would hope that the good citizens of Georgia would see through the veneer of Palin and the republican party. They say they are the fiscally responsible party and yet they created one of the worst financial disastors ever in this country. They say they are the more moral party but they let greed run rampant and ignore the poor. The only chance we have to be great again is to immediatley implement Obama's visionary changes and having an obstructionist republican congress will delay or squash these absolutely necessary changes. Please vote for Martin!!!

Saxby Chambliss,what kind of a name is that ? Obviously it belongs to a "Republican"? What parent would name his kid Saxby unless he was sheltered in a exclusive private school predominately "WASP" orientated! He's a rich man's Senator and has done nothing for Georgia's sad state of affairs. Now,Mr. Martin sounds like a grounded individual, with a good track record. So, I pose this question:do you want ,"Royalty,or a "Plebian"(common folk) to run your state…….? PS Hail Ceasar!!!

For the honorable Mr. Chambliss to now lose this election would certainly put a fork in Mrs. Palin's political career. For any future politician she'd become the kiss of death. Poor GOP! Still on the death spiral.

Enough already! If, indeed, Gov. Palin is as interested in governing Alaska as she purported during the presidential campaign, then please go govern Alaska and leave the lower 50 states alone. Perhaps Sen. Chambliss, if he wishes to return to his spot, should think twice before hitching his wish to that star. It may just be what the new guy is looking for. "Ya think?

Saxby Chambliss. What kind of name is that? Elitist, inbred, aristocratic, coward who never went to war but called Max Cleland a traitor.

When will Republicans see that their representatives are the exact opposite of what they say they are? Values=valueless; Religious=we'll screw you because you're stupid; Keep you safe=you go fight for our oil, etc.

Sarah Palin=Voodoo witchy woman

Just let us Georgians vote for who we want. We don't need any outsiders coming in here and telling us how to vote!!! Everyone else stay home! You can't turn on your TV without a Martin of Chambliss ad. Thankfully it is only on week away — and then the recounts will begin. Also, all you lawyers can stay away too! Lord help us!!

And if I skipped a few months of work to go rile up rednecks and spew hate speech I think my employer may have something to say about it…and I guarentee it would be something along the lines of get the hell out of here, you're fired.

maybe our government should do the same to her.

John Lubeck   November 25th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

First the Republicans gave us W(orstt), now they give us P. Hummm, can I think of some fitting letters to follow? Maybe Peabrain?

Saxby Chambliss is one the most despicable people in the senate attacking Max Cleland for his patriotism. While Saxby was receiving deferments, Max Cleland was fighting in Viet Nam losing 3 limbs.

Hopefully there is a special place in hell for Saxby Chambliss.

Jack V.   November 25th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Clearly, this woman is haltingly unintelligent. I mean, if she were a true intellectual, she would sit online all day and make underhanded comments about every political news story that deals with republicans.

Thank god for all the mensa members on this blog. It must be hard calling all the big time shots with zero accountability or recourse for your clever comments launched from anonymity. Now that takes real courage and intellectual stamina.

Get a life people. Keep posting your inane and illegible comments while people who matter go out and make a difference outside the comfort of their keyboards.

Christina   November 25th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

One of the best things about November 5th was the great possibility that there would be no more Sarah Palin! Can't anyone get this woman to go home and stay home? No one wants to hear that moronic voice any more! You betcha! She has a pregnant, unmarried teen aged daughter and younger children who were out of school for months (obviously, those kids NEED to be in school!). She is probably helping the Democrats snatch that Senate seat away from Chambliss (which is fine by me) but how can we convince Sarah to PLEASE go away?

Sarah Palin is really what Democrats, Independents, and a few Republicans need to motivate them to really go out and vote for Democrat Martin.

hope she has new material to speak about. I know they do not want to hear about… “What I did in Alaska” or Ayres… I know she is wondering what kind of shopping she can do in GA. Do what you do Ms. Palin. But I’m sure it would be nice if you could spend a lil time with the Baby… unless you have a belt clip with a lil baby pocket on it for him on it for this campaign

Greg Pottstown, Pa.   November 25th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

What do you hate about Palin? Do not be general, be specific. Tell me what she did that you hate her so much. I am a republican but wood never vote for Palin (I have my reasons) but I do not hate her. I did not vote for Obama, but I wish him the best. I want to know why you hate her. Do you hate any person that runs against a dem or what? You people probably hate McCain too but I bet many of you voted Kerry in . Kerry happens to be McCain's best friend on the senate floor.

By the way it is a joke that you call governors dumb. If they are dumb then why are they governors and you are sitting at home with no job and nothing better to do than bash her.

Carl Justus   November 25th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

Jim Martin must be singing and dancing and having a wonderful time right now.
It is no wonder the republicans are in trouble as long as they keep sending her around. Did they not hear her speeches or do they think that sex sells republican politicians like it does cars, beer and cosmetics.
They should save her for the super bowl, then she would be in her normal environment.

Come on people give her a break! I bet a lot of you don't even know the real Palin. You guys know Tina Fey. I know the woman who gave the brilliant speech at the Republican National Convention. So, she made some slip-ups and said some very dumb things. Her nomination probably got her completly by surprise. She's just this obscure governor and suddenly–BAM! She's thrust upon the national scene and suddenly nearly every voter in America knows her name. She was immediatley scheduled to be interviewed; I doubt she had much time to prepare for all this.

Soccer Nana   November 25th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Umm, where are Todd and the kids? They were "inseparable" during her failed bid for VP; now all of a sudden they are "no-shows" when she shows.

Governor Palin better start taking care of her home and her state.

Mark   November 25th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Sarah Palin reminds me of George Bush: She is unfazed by reality. Of course, the GOP being the shambles which it is, she might have a future on the national scene.

Having said that: Just imagine Sarah Palin being in Obama's shoes right now. Who would her team of economic experts be? Could she converse with an economist? Upon what basis would she make decisions between opposing economic views? The thought is truly mind boggling.

John McCain's greatest sin is putting Palin in the national spotlight.

C W   November 25th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

I think Sarah Palin is avoiding dealing with Trig, her Down Syndrome child, and the unwed pregnancy of her teenage daughter, Bristol.

According to the April 22, 2008 Anchorage Daily News, Palin was back to work three days after giving birth to Trig. It's clear to me, that she would rather be in the limelight than take care of her kids.

I'm a feminist and a mom. I think Palin is selfishly choosing her own needs over her family's, at a time when they obviously need her very much.

Why anyone would support Palin is beyond me. She's a terrible role model for women everywhere.

According to the April 22, 2008 Anchorage Daily News, Palin was back to work three days after giving birth to Trig. It's clear to me, that she would rather be in the limelight than take care of her kids.

I'm a feminist and a mom. I think Palin is selfishly choosing her own needs over her family's, at a time when they obviously need her very much.

Why anyone would support Palin is beyond me. She's a terrible role model for women everywhere.

Noi   November 25th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

She is quite delusional. Being an educated mother who has traveled around the world, speak several languages, and have worked in numerous international governmental organizations, even I do not feel that competent to lead America, because I love this country. I am not that selfish as Palin is!

Jonathan   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

She is campanigning for someone who attacked a Vietnam War veteran, who lost three limbs during his service, for not being tough enough on issues of war and homeland security, while Chamblis didn't serve in the Vietnam War due to receiving military deferments.
Maybe Palin should have asked only the Republicans who have served to raise their hands.

MH   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

I finally thought we got rid of this idiot, and she is back for more???? isn't there someone that can make her realize she is politically and mentally dead????

TyWebb   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

"Palin to hit campaign trail in Georgia" – NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Lin   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

GO HOME.
GO AWAY.
JUST GO!

Jeff in Illinois   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

This will certainly help (Jim Martin).

Joseph   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Palin doesnt seem to realize that shes is only extremely popular with an extremely small percentage of americans, certainly not the best americans as this last election showed us…

works for a living   November 25th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Doesn't this woamn have a job???!!!!!

When does she perform the duties of governor that the people of Alaska hired her to do?

And will she charge the State of Alaska a per diem for her stay in GA? And ask for reimbursement for the airfare? And bring her kids and charge for them as well? And maybe stop at Nieman Marcus while she's there?

New Yorker   November 25th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

feed her to a moose

Ken   November 25th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Easy to see this forum is full of ignorant liberal idiots who think Obama is somehow more qualified and isn't going to run this country into the tank. Wow, people….get a clue.

christina   November 25th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Great, now Mrs. Palin is coming to Georgia to wreck more important men's lives lol. I think Senator Chambliss is better off alone than teaming up with Palin. Let's not forget what happened to Mccain.

Kevin - IN   November 25th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Palin was a drag on the ticket. By herself, she's a lead boat anchor.

Adam from GA   November 25th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

As much as I hate to say it, she will probably help Chambliss's effort. Outside of Atlanta and maybe Athens, GA is certainly no bastion of independent thought.

Matt   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

makes sense…send the racist in a pretty package down there to rile up "the base"…after all, they're obviously more upset with the idea of an extremely intelligent black man in office than a woman with an IQ lower than bedrock

Xavier, Saint Louis, Missouri - The Show Me State   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

For the love of God, will this woman get lost! Palin please tend to your family and get lost forever!

ha!   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

She's there because McCain reminded her that "We are all Georgians", she just got on the wrong plane home, thinking she's Georgian, that is…

Kansas Voter   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Does she want to cause another Republican loss?

Judy Miami Fl   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Are there actually any people who would vote for this candidate because of Palin? Georgian's aren't that dumb are they?

No more Palin.....ever   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

The closer? That's laughable. The only 'closing' she did for McCain was close any chance of him winning the presidency. Just go back to Alaska and earn your paycheck. No one wants to hear from you!

steve   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Go away, Palin. Nobody likes you. Go back to your igloo. Go on, git!

Bryce Beamish   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Great! She can sink Saxby the same way she did McCain.

Hello 60 seat majority.

pam Eugene OR   November 25th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

When is she going back to work for the people of Alaska. You know…the ones who hired her and are paying her salary!

Doug R.   November 25th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Sarah Palin is a flake and an idiot. She can't even speak correct English. Her comments are moronic. She's one of the reasons McCain was smeared all over the map on 11/04/08. Who is going to be next?? Joe the Plumber??
Saxby Chambliss is filthy and slimy and unpatriotic.

ria   November 25th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Why are you people so mean?

frodo   November 25th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Well, see there's her first problem, she's an Alaskan campaigning in Georgia…

Not quite exactly as far from Alaska you can get and still be in the US, but close…

As a Libertarian, (and so looking at the two parties from a different viewpoint), I am at a loss to see that she would draw a big following. Her folksy ultra Christian conservatism was a contrast to McCain–which is why he picked her–to gather those far-right-wingers that he didn't appeal to.

Seems to me that this election is proof that the religious spin is wearing thin.
Also, since less than 1/4 of the population of the US voted for Obama (~60million) we certainly don't have a mandate for his grow government policies…

Swimsuit?   November 25th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Whens the swimsuit part of this competition start?

Sam   November 25th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Um, folks, let's realize that we are talking G-E-O-R-G-I-A.

They like her there.

joseph   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Why doesn't Palin accept the offers to appear on the late night shows? The country could use a good laugh. I can't see any other reason for the offers. She should also accept the all expenses paid offers from the twenty other international tv shows cause in these hard times the whole world could use a real big joke.

Ivan Sanchez   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Sarah Palin should go back to Alaska and tend to her elected job which she's has ignored for months! What's a loser doing trying to help out another loser?

ScottPruden   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Stupid people are entitled to representation in our government.
We as a society need stupid people to absorb bullets, buy our crappy products and perform menial tasks. Therefore we should honor their choice in politicians.

Military Woman   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

When is she ever going to be a mother for those dysfunctional children of hers? No wonder they have had the messes in their lives that they've had. I shudder to think of any dim witted American woman holding her up as an example of motherhood. Even now that she has an opportunity to be at home with them, she chooses not to. She is just not interested in being a parent and it shows in the outcome in her children. Her other daughter will get "big" under her nose next. Poor Trig and Piper.

Ginger   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. And, while I hate to say it, Sarah Palin is perfect to campaign to the Republicans of Georgia. With all her religious extremism, she'll fit right in.

Faiz   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

I think it is very good for Chambliss. During the off-season election you need your base to win and who loves Sarah Palin more then the Republican Base.

Robbie   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

If I were Alaska, I would be ready to impeach her. It's about time she started taking care of the job she already has! Who's paying for this little vacation?

LM75   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Palin, just go away.

mike   November 25th, 2008 11:58 am ET

it's all about sarah!!!!!!!!!!

Virginia   November 25th, 2008 11:57 am ET

The republicans should team Sarah Palin and Rudy in 2012. It will make for a sure winner for the dems. Obama won't even have to campaign for another term.

Nebraskan   November 25th, 2008 11:57 am ET

LOL! This is TOO MUCH. I almost wish I was in Georgia just so I could be entertained by all this.

I am almost having to take a day off work so I can stay home and LAUGH at this parade of losers take down an entire political party that has been around for centuries…

Michael   November 25th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Are we going to see her again in NBC Sat Night ? poor woman.

Ken   November 25th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Silly Sarah – still suffering from Delusions of Adequacy!!

elsie   November 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET

Why are Republicans willing to spend millions of dollars and campaign for racist bigots?

William Sheidow   November 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET

This is good news for Jim Martin.

Guy   November 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET

Good, we could use the laughs.

Steph   November 25th, 2008 11:56 am ET

I'm still waiting to hear about the clothing auction "for charity"….guess she got to keep the goods, yup, you betcha!

Three buzzards on the Roof   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Yippie Kiiiiiiiiiiii yaaaaaaaaaa,Its Sarah to the rescue.

Chip   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Apparently, being governor of Alaska is a pretty simple job since it seems to require little or no time on Palin's part to fulfill her responsibilities."

Much like being a Senator from Illinois?

You know, after that last bit with the turkeys in the background, this woman is just plain gross.

I guess you'll be having tofu for Thanksgiving?

It's amusing reading these boards. I love it when people that can't spell the most rudimentary words in the English language or properly tense a verb call a sitting governor stupid.

Jeremy   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

I really don't understand why anyone would want her to campaign for them. She demonstrated complete incompetence during McCain's campaign and although there were other reasons, she made him lose by looking like a fool to the majority of Americans. The only people who like this woman are other women/men with their radical christian viewpoints.

Proud Democrat   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Good for her!

It's great to be an American where everyone has a right of freedom of speech.

Angel   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Nooooooooooooooooo

Gary   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

NO!

Sunny   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Or maybe on second thoughts, she got bored of looking at Russia from her back window!

Brian, Edmond OK   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Maybe she should just go on ahead and stick Chambliss in that machine where the turkeys go to have their heads grinded off. She seemed to be proud of that thing.

thanos   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

this is all about sarah now and making herself visible at every viable GOP media event. she's like a roller derby queen elbowing for position and she's not going away because the GOP has no other candidate with her charisma. Plenty with more brains than her but none who are as power hungry as she is. She took her first hit of the power drug as McCain's running mate and now like one of the many meth addicts scurrying about her state she's hooked and will do anything for that limelight. She's dangerous because she DOESN"T CARE if she says something stupid as long as she's the center of attention. She admitted she knew nothing about foreign policy but that didn't stop her because she knows that if you lie and say you're qualified 100 times and tell the truth and say you aren't once; that one truth gets lost in the media trash pile. This is political musical chairs folks and Sarah is determined to be sitting in that chair in 2012.

vahe   November 25th, 2008 11:55 am ET

maybe they want to lose the elections again ahahahaha if you want to lose your president bid or senet sit hire palin for your campaign

Ward Adams   November 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET

Wow. The scary thing is that the "Guns and Jesus" crowd will come out in droves and vote her into office. I'll definitely think about leaving the U.S. at that point. I'm not the kind of American they want (liberal, critical, and skeptical).

lucy   November 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET

Brilliant! She is gorgeous! Good entertainment!

Don G   November 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET

I've got to believe that the Democratic National Committee is paying for this. But, in Georgia, this airhead may actually help.

Laura   November 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET

She helped McCain lose. How could she possibly help this guy?

Matt   November 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET

Saxby Chambliss!!!!!

yaaaaaaaay!!!1!!one!! [insert Kermit the Frog waving hands like crazy]

Birds of a feather…

shelly   November 25th, 2008 11:54 am ET

I just wish Sarah Palin would go back to Alaska, and stay back. I'm so done with her.

tess   November 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET

i love it that the dems are still so terrified of sarah! they think that if they keep trashing her it will hurt her and make her go away – they don't know what a really strong woman is because all they have to look at is hillary (who got where she is because of who she married) and pelosi who is herself a joke. republicans should feel sorry for them because they are so clueless and pathetic!

Bill   November 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET

you betchya she'll take another man down and i sure would like to talk about the great ronald reagan and ya know we can see russia from here too alright

RealityKing   November 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET

No wonder the liberals scream hate at the site of Sarah. This women adds excitement to the mix! Even for CNN's lame blog..

donna   November 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET

She is just self-promoting herself disguised as a stumper for a fellow GOP idiot.

I would think Alaska would want its governor home governing, or at the very least attending to her very pregnant teenage daughter!

what a whackjob

J.R., Lisle, Illinois   November 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET

PLEASE GO AWAY!

Mary   November 25th, 2008 11:53 am ET

Sarah Palin has not yet learned that campaigns are not the same as beauty pageants. See Beauty Pageants run over and over and over, if you lose in one, you just keep movin on to the next one. No one is hurt and it goes on forever. In Politics, if you lose you lose, that's it, done, go home. Everyone knows where you stand and on what. If the GOP wants Sarah to represent her, well keep at it. we will have no Republicans left…………………

Gosh I am tired of this lady…….

tevis   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

The woman has a pathological need for the media spotlight.

Cathy Agu   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

This is like a B A D D R E A M

Mike S. New Orleans   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

She probably thinks Georgia is in Russia.

I thought her fifteen minutes of fame was up?

hometowndemocrat   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

What do you bet that Sarah Palin could survive a nuclear bomb being dropped on her……….I don't think anything could make this woman go away.

Rache from Bowie   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

He's certain to lose now if that dunce "helps" him.

Eric L.   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Well, I was going to vote for Saxby…

VernisRobertson   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Kitty   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Whoever says Gov. Palin is dumb – BACK AT YA!!!

LOL – LOL

Each one of you that claims to have had enough of Gov. Palin is not making a true statement!! You would not be commenting about her if you hated her!!! Admit it – come on – WE ALL LOVE THIS WONDERFUL PERSON!!!! AND WITH OUR HELP GOV. PALIN WILL BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2012!!!!! GOOD JOB GUYS!!!! LOL

tishoogle   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Keep this woman in alaska! Palin the half baked alaskan go away!
Keep her out of the news!

Renata   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

She is so hardheaded…rambling Sarah…noone knows what she says or understands what she says…rambling in the twilight zone..she probably sees stars when she talks..Your 2cents worth is over and you blew it…

bob   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

…and for that matter, who is running Alaska's state government? Has it actually improved over the past 18 months? Will Gov. Palin claim the additional time as "executive experience" in office? Now that she's flown around the country many times, is she an expert on domestic policy as well as foreign policy (you can see a lot farther from the plane window than from her front porch…)? Will the Couric interview suffice to tank the aspirations of anyone dumb enough to have her as a spokesperson for them? And, best of all, what new howlers will she let drop from her mouth?

ET from Omaha   November 25th, 2008 11:52 am ET

I never had so much fun in life conpare to reading people reaction to her comming back on the campaign trail on this blog.
I'm in tears. Good news for SNL.

Gary of El Centro, Ca   November 25th, 2008 11:51 am ET

This is like a scene from "Night of the Living Dead"……..everytime you think she is politically dead and buried, she comes back to life and haunt
