What Hillary Should Say Now

I don't think it is Clinton's responsiblity to come out and take on Palin . Remember Clinton is not on Obama's ticket. I am also upset to see Palin is in the game now. The surge of her presence is a threat to Democratic party's bit for the whitehouse. There will absolutely be no Palin if Hillary were Obama's running mate. Hillary could come out and campaign for democratic party as a whole but it is Obama's team's responsiblity to take on Palin. I am not sure if Obama has made a huge mistake by underminding 18 millions clinton's supporters. Who knew how many of them were independent or Republic voters? I clearly remember Obama's people said they could win without those swing states that Hillary won..... These people are clearly rookies in running the most important campaign for the highest level. With the presence of Palin in this game, there might not any more purple states which can be truned blue.

You do not speak for all women because you follow blindly at Hillary feet. What has she done in 14 years in the limelight but fail at every thing she does.

As Tom Delay said, "Please, media, keep it up!".

What is up with McCain? Now he has to travel with TWO women in order to speak passionately about nothing, except his POW experience. Palin is being used as a puppet reading a speech that was written by a Bush writer before she (Palin) was chosen. When will she be allowed to speak unscripted? She is not a politician and probably has no knowledge of the issues. Hillary was not protected from anyone. Of course, she is definitely not as capable as Hillary. McCain probably chose Palin so she can holler and scream from a scrip. Is she under a contract and plans to return to her family in the near future? If that happens, then the RNC will allow McCain to choose who he really wants as his VP. This is so sad because we need real change in the USA. People are losing jobs everyday. Crime is up due in no small part to unemployment. People are losing their homes. The whole world is watching us to see if we can get this right.

We need a president who has good judgement and does not make hasty decisions. The thought of four more years of the current failed policies is disturbing. My prayer is that the majority of Americans will realize that Palin/McCain ticket offers more of the same that we have endured over the last 8 years..

Communicate that for me, Hillary.

Powerful stuff! Will the real Hillary stand up and be counted. The irony of the Palin appearance on the stage is not only that she freely throws rude zingers at men (at Obama, for instance), but that Obama is not able to respond in kind for fear of alienating women voters. So she has free rein! If this is not unfair, I don't know what is? Furthermore, she says her family is off limit; but she makes family the critical point of her introduction to national politics. And let's we forget, she preaches a brand of family values that is quite radical in its opposition that all that a Hillary Clinton would have stood for. She is having it both ways! Therefore, where is Hillary to authenticate her claim that she is in it for helping to determine "where America goes from here"? Finally, Palin and McCain are no reformers but charlatans--even hypocrites, judging by their current politics. Until most members of the media get it in their head that McCain has thrown his idealism and the maverick past down the window, we are in trouble--because they are not doing their job. They should have seen what is happening, and called it like it is. Palin and McCain have become partners marching to the Karl Rove tunes of menacing politics. After Palin's big speech, what next? And does it (should it) matter? Palin has not answered specifically to many allegations or scandals swirling around her nor has she addressed any of the real issues of this campaign. Instead, she comes blazing with negative attacks and pleading that she be considered fit for the job simply because she is a woman who is your ???average hockey mom.??? With that any woman can be Vice-President or even President. Left behind in this calculation are women who are truly qualified for the job???K. Baily Hutchinson,e.g.! Palin felt able to compare her competency and background with that of Obama--a Harvard-educated lawyer chosen by his Party (not by one man) who served eight years in the Illinois Senate, is serving in the Senate as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, has managed a very successful campaign and is received enthusiastically within the United States and around the world. I can't believe it. The only way Palin is better than Obama is gutter talk! Because Palin delivered a good speech written for her by Bush-Rove divisive dark operators, that suddenly eliminates the concern we should all have about her qualification to be a potential Commander-in-Chief? If the media caves with feelings of guilt, we are done as a democracy and the most powerful nation on earth. At its best, the media stands as a sentinel of freedom. This campaign should be about facts (see the AP fact check on the RNC, Sep. 4/08), truth and issues, not personalities and personal attack. An uneducated electorate wielding a vote is a danger to democracy. That is why we have often elected the wrong people, for the wrong reasons and times.

I would like to thank "Ms." Davis and her elite media friends for all they do for McCain and Palin. Keep these opinions coming so the country will be pushed into voting vote McCain - Palin.

In some ways, I long for the days of no Internet & no television. I long for the days when the radio addresses were all you could tune in to, or newspaper articles. Where you could turn off your eyes and only hear the candidates. (Although that wouldn't work in this race, unless their were substitute voices.)

Voting shouldn't be based on race. It shouldn't be based on gender. And despite advances, voting will be based on race and gender. To believe otherwise is naive and foolish. Just vote your conscience and leave mine out of it.

America rejected Hillary Clinton and the women of her "kind" (like the author of this manipulative article). A woman's character forms the bedrock of any society. America has been waiting for the "right" woman to emerge and take the center stage - not just "any" woman. In Sarah Plain, we have found the right Woman.The character and life of Sarah Palin is representative of American women more than that of elitist Hillary Clinton's. Infact Sarah Palin's life is representative of the women across the globe.
Women are emotional, but they are smart. They can see through when someone is exploiting their emotions to further their own narrow political agenda. Try again Patti Davis!

Sarah Palin is another smug example of the last eight years. No accountability. Above the law and above the American people. Please investigate the candidates and expose all and everything in order for America to get it right this time. America does not deserve to continue the policies of the last eight years. The world does not deserve it. Help us to restore our strength and example of our honor throughout the world.

PLEASE do your research and find out what the candidates have done for the good of the masses-not jus tor themselves. Actions speak louder than words. Health care costs tens of thousands of dollars, college and other further ed costs tens of thousands of dollars, retirement costs tens of thousands of dollars---we need to vole fot those who consistently respect the rights of individuals while using their power for GOOD--a $2000 tax relief check robs our country of the assets needed have real quality of life choices. Keep your $1200 check, Gov. Palin, unless you'd like us to use it to wear glasses like yours--it won't don anything for my family and our future.

McCain didn't mention one time the veterans but we sure heard about his POW experience - from 30 years ago! Funny how McCain NEVER mentioned his POW experiences before he ran for President. He used to be a humble man. Not anymore! He's totally ignorant if he thinks Americans will vote him into office based on him having gone through a POW experience 30 years ago. The RNC didn't give us any concrete plans regarding how they would make changes in Washington. And no matter which way you try to spin it, Sarah Palin is a naive and inexperienced woman who happens to have some stage poise. My vote still goes to
Obama/Biden.

Dear Patti,

It would be nice if you would just speak for your self rather than assume that you speak for all of the "Hillary" women. Many of us are furious with that kind of assumption. We are strong women that can make up our own minds. I have not read anywhere, other than biased liberal commentators, that that was even an assumption of Palen's. If Hillary had some of Palen's attributes this would be a different election. Let's stop the biased and rather obvious political pontificating and deal in relaities. Let's be frank ,neither candidate will accomplish anything unless the congress acts. We had the congress but accomplished NOTHING. Time to stop blaming and take ownership.

Former Democrat ... tired of all talk and no action ... spend, spend, spend.

it is hard to believe that woman at this day and time would vote for a woman who believe,that a woman should keep a baby even if she is raped.

Ms. Davis, thank you for saying so eloquently what many of us are feeling. I want a woman I can respect to have a shot at the highest office in the land. For many, many reasons, Palin is not that woman.

Check Scaries record in Alaska it,s not so great ! She supported big oil, loves pork barrel handouts, and is a filpflopper ( Bridge to nowhere -for then/ against) she even voted against a bill to help special needs kids!( of course thats before her little son was born !)
