The Palin Gamble

What Palin does accomplish is the end of Hillary's presidential hopes except maybe in 2016 if Obama wins.

in 2012 Palin would take all conservatives and compete for independent women. Hillary needs lots of conservative and independent woment to make up for the animosity her campaign created among AAs and many other liberals.

Democrats would have to run someone else to have a chance.

No one could put Eleanor Clift on the spot to make sense.

Her response to the question of John McLaughlin as to the reaction to Sarah Palin told it all.

"They are laughing in the newsrooms ," said Eleanor, a little nervously . "What newsrooms?" "Where are they laughing?said McLaughlin. "In newsrooms all over the country," said Eleanor.

THis was beofre Sarah palins convention address...they aren't laughing anymore. And they are unlikely ever to laugh again about Sarah Palin because she made monkeys out of all of the laughers and monkeys out of the Democratic ticket and all of their far left boosters.
This election for the left and Obama ended in a kamikaze flameout of defeat after their 5 day Pearl Harbor type assault of Gov. Palin and they aren't going to recover from it. Sarah responded to their attacks by dropping the big one on them...just like Truman did on the Japanese. She dropped herself, the American on them and they still don't know what hit them. Sarah Palin All American vs the media and the Democrats...no contest...landlslide win.
Yuck it up Eleanor and all the other newsroom leftists. You are through.

I DON'T KNOW WHATS FUNNIER-THE REUPUBLICANS TRYING TO ACT LIKE OBAMA CAME STRAIGHT FROM BEING A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER TO RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OR THE WAY THEY DOG COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS.

1. OBAMA WAS 3 YEARS OUT OF SCHOOL WHEN HE WAS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, WHICH WAS BEFORE HE BECAME A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY AND A CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSOR. AS WELL AS YEARS IN THE STATE HOUSE.

2. COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT -ESPICIALLY IN THE INNER CITIES. THEY LITERALLY SAVE LIVES. THE GET KIDS CLEAN OFF DRUGS, HELP PARENTS GET INVOLVED, GET CHURCH GROUPS TO ORGANIZE"WHICH WAS OBAMA'S DEAL", AND TRY TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY DRUG AND VIOLENCE FREE-WITH LITTLE HELP. THEY PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER. NO WONDER REPUBLICANS DOG THESE PEOPLE WHICH IS STUPID BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY AND THE HELP SO MANY.

3. YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE WHAT WAS PALIN DOING 3 YEARS OUT OF SCHOOL.........RUN WAY MODELING?

IT'S ALMOST-ALMOST-HILARIOUS HOW REPUBLICANS TRY TO ACT LIKE THEY AHVEN'T BEENRUNNING THE COUNTRY SINCE 2000. PALIN AND MCCAIN COULD RUN ON CHANGE IF THE HADN'T BASICALLY SIDED AND OR VOTED WITH THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT 90% OF THE TIME. THIS LADY IS OUT THERE.................SHE'S AGAINST A FEMALE'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE EVEN IN INCEST AND RAPE? SO A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL KIDS KIDNAPPED AND GANG RAPPED AND IS PREGNATED BY THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT?!! THAT'S SICK. UNFORTUNATELY THAT SCENARIO HAPPENS TOO MUCH BUT IT TAKES SOMEONE WHO WORKS IN SHELTERS AND THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THAT-LIKE A FREAKIN COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!

Cliff says that Palin isn't qualified, what about Obama? What makes him qualified? The difference is that she is a red meat conservative and they are hated by the left wing Elenor Cliff media; while Obama is a socialist tax and spend liberal like most o fthe media. Where is the scrutiny of Obama, where are the questions about what he has done? Worked as a community organizer on the South Side of Chiago--what did he accomplish the SOuth Side South is made of drugs, murder and gangs (I'm a Chicagoean); he was a professor at the U of C but never publihsed or did any research while he was there, then he went to the state senate where he wasn;t a leader, then a lost campaign against bobby rush then a senate race. Obama has zero qualifications to be president and it is about time we moved off of the question is mccain's #2 ready to be the president and start asking why is the #1 on the democratic ticket qualified. BE FAIR ELENOR stop being a liberal and start being a journalist.

More Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene[shamelessly plaegerizing African American conservative columnist Thomas Sowell here,who gets a big hat tip]:

Sally Quinn of the Washington Post and NEWSWEAK went on O'Reillys ''FACTOR'' with her feet held to the fire and finally apologized for her stupid comments on Palin.[what business this harridan has in covering matters ''On Faith''is beyond me,but perhaps NEWSWEAK can illuminate].

Ditto Obama Finance Chairman Howard Gutman,whose pain in his mouth was that which was provided by inserting his foot in it,after making crummy comments on the Palin family.

The Denver Post reports today that the hundreds of American flags used at the INVESCO Center for the screaming Obamaites were bagged as trash after the DNC event and were to be taken to a landfill for dumping. On his own,an INVESCO maintenance employee gathered the American flags,still in their trash bags,and blew the whistle to a local veterans organization which first took photographs, and has retrieved the flags,intending to bring these on stage to the upcoming McCain rally where they will be displayed still in the trash bags,removed,and redistributed.

We now find,through yesterdays INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY ,that Obamas ''communty service''types reflect a rather oddball ideology,which is not unknown to Obamas lefty pals. One of those slated to recieve federal funding in an Obama administration is PUBLIC ALLIES, an organization he helmed during the 1990s, whose creed is that:

''Heterosexism is a negative byproduct of white supremacy,and patriarchy'' and that capitalism breeds ''homophobia''.[Heh. Try telling that one to the Swiss].

Democrat Charlie Rangel is the head of the House Ways and Means Committee. POLITICO is trying to find out how Charlie found the ways and means to dodge paying a penny of interest on his vacation home in the Dominican Republic for more than TEN YEARS.[all the while,ranting over the ''ripoff''of American homeowners by the subprimers].The IRS is coming to call on Mr. Rangel,who has some 'splainin to do.

After some time in trying to deduce who is holding the ''hoops for the media dogs to jump through'',two candidates have now been firmly established. DAILY KOS and Andy Sullivan. Working on a tip from either of these two unimpeachable hard news sources[insert: Heavy Irony Here],the National Inquirer has now splashed a ''Palin Affair''deal across its front pages,and its off to the Wasilla Races for the Lamestream Press,who are descending in droves to find out more about Palins sex life as detailed in a piece in yesterdays POLITICO,with Sullivan and KOS holding up the direction signs. Garbage. Thy Name Is Media.

I remember Eleanor saying that newsrooms all start giggling with derision at the mention of her name. Keep laughing Eleanor, but the joke is on you. Sarah is now more popular than Obama or McCain. It has become obvious that the McCain/Palin ticket is the choice for people who want not just change for change's sake, but real systemic change. And please do keep yammering about experience. It keeps the focus on Obama's serious lack of it. When running a campaign is touted as serious experience, you're in deep trouble. Regarding the Liberal reaction to the Republican VP being a woman; all I can say is that watching all the liberal women eat their own is gruesome, but it's hard to look away.

It took me from Wednesday night till now to figure out what bothered me so much about Palin.

She gave one of the most vicious speeches at the convention (and there were plenty). The fact that she did it with her children only a few feet away bothers me.

As a mom of four, my heart breaks for what she is teaching her daughters and son. From youngest to oldest, what kind of message is that as to how you treat people.

If Bush & Cheney (hardly celebrities) could wrench the 2004 election away in Ohio, and b/c Pennsylvania has some folks VERY resistent to change, I am VERY AFRAID for my country. The gamble on Palin seems to be working with folks in the middle who do not read much between the lines. All many of them needed was an excuse to vote against Obama. It's true that in 6-12 months- if McCain/Pain are elected, the country will realize that we have the Religious Right again dictating the decisions at highest levels of the federal government - the Justice Department, the EPA, the IRS, the Departments of Treasury, State & Defense. Yes, at that point in time, the country will know that we not only have 4 more years of neo-conservatism, we have 2 folks at the top who make decisions based more on political ideology than the cold, hard facts before them, seen in the light of advice from seasoned experts in the fields. But, I truly fear that enough Americans are going to, once again, fall for the "Smoke & Mirrors" so successfuly invented by the Republican Party. Mean-spirtedness really does sell here. I am so happy that I will be retired from government in a few short years - the past 8 have been the most painful of my nearly 30 years as a fed.

Did anyone see Obama interview with Bill O'Reilly ? Barack Hussein Obama can't speak to a person one on one without stuttering and struggling to find an answer. This guy Obama is just winging it...he's got no substance , no experience, no change , no hope, no accomplishments , no honesty , no morals, no qualifications, no patriotism ....like I mean come on Americans !....you guys are smarter than that....just can't see it...Barack Hussein Obama..a Muslim too....being elected as President of the United States..can't be.

The US media has left the building !

McCain cancelled out a scheduled CNN Larry King show tonight in retribution for CNN reporter Campbell Brown's persistent questioning of McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds concerning Palin qualification to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. The McCain camp's attack on the free press as it tries to fulfill its duty to oversee the interests of the American people is disheartening and frightening. Of course our free press goes overboard at times. But, hey, Obama and Michelle have appeared in unflattering stoies in the tabloids, too. It happens if you put yourself out there for public office. Palin is kept in hiding from the legitimate press except for attack dog speeches. What are they afraid of? I think we all know the answer to that one.
Republicans need to be reminded that the first amendment is as important (if not more so) than the second.

Karl Rove said Palin is a political choice, not a governing choice. The same is true with Obama. Both Palin and Obama have "a compelling life story," but neither is in any "sense ready to assume the presidency." The difference is that Obama is at the top of the ticket.
