She is drawing huge crowds everywhere she goes—people are lining up JUST to hear Palin lie.

Well, she is pretty good at it. She has a real flair for it. And, even after it’s discovered and reported by the press she comes right back and does it again as though nothing’s changed.

Is that what the “traditional family values” crowd has been hoping for?

It’s time for Obama-Biden.

I’ll bet after the honeymoon cools, he’ll be calling her a tro**op and a *unt for upstaging him…

How incredibly embarrassing…what horrible judgment…

Each of them must be wondering what they want the other one around for. The Palindrones must be wondering why they need McCain and how they can fast-forward to get past him. Meanwhile, the McCain are probably wondering if it’s safe for JM to go out in public for fear the Palindrones HAVE FOUND a way to get rid of him.

That has to be a very uneasy relationship just now.

What if, in the election, Palin were to get more votes as V.P. candidate than McCain as Prez. candidate? Now THAT would be embarrassing.

What we have here is a man who has no future – and a woman who doesn’t believe there is a future.

Clearly the core of the Republican party, the religious Right, the extremists, are still in thrall of George W. Bush and love Sarah Palin who continues those ideas.

Those are the 23 percenters. Yet the pollsters try to be balanced…

Someone needs to tell him to stop rubbing his hands as he stands beside her. The best answer to the Obama “lipstick on a pig”/”he is making sexist remarks” controversy is to point out how cravenly sexist it is for John McCain to use a woman to attract the crowds he can’t. In South Dakota in front of a bikers, he offered his wife up as a contestant in the raunchy Miss Buffalo Chip Contest. Just a “joke” of course. Ha!Ha! Not to mention that he dumped his first wife when she lost her looks in an automobile accident to marry a much younger “looker” with bags of money attached. He has a difinite pattern: HE is the “sexist pig.” Someone needs to get through to Olbermann and set him onto the real story of how truly craven this man is in his exploitation of women.</p> The obvious pimping makes me cringe.
