Palin: 'Far-left wing of the Democrat Party’ could takeover

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/10/26/art.palin.9.14.jpg caption caption=" Palin told supporters today that the McCain ticket 'will win!'"]
LAKEWOOD, Ohio (CNN) - With her voice beginning to crack on this final marathon day of campaigning, Sarah Palin promised an audience in Ohio: “We will win!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Say it ain't so.

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

    Never! Sarah would never do that, right?

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

    Naah!

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

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

    At least Palin is up front about her dishonesty.

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

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

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

    Governor Palin:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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