OMG McCain can't quit talking about Palin.
I'm watching MSNBC, and they said that McCain is going to make a new statement--after
a commercial break.

I thought maybe he was going to respond to an ad, or start talking about the economy
or national security.

Then, the commentator said that McCain was going to talk about how unfair Sarah Palin
has been treated.

This is a complete joke. McCain is using Palin as a distraction. He can't even talk
about his own record or his ideas...he can only deflect and grab his Sarah Palin
cardboard cutout and scream, "Stop being mean to her! Stop being mean to her!"

The man has not completed a news cycle--since the Republican Convention--talking
about his own ideas and policies or discussing what is really going on in America.

He'll do anything to keep Palin in the news and his Bush-like agenda under wraps.

This is a complete joke. No wonder she is at his side every moment he's in public.

If he's going to win--it can't be about himself, it has to be about shiny objects
and pretty candidates.

McCain is running the worst Presidential campaign ever.

2. I think it's been longer than since the puke convention
I can't remember the last time McLame has actually answered questions regarding policies or programs. I'm really starting to think the rovian handlers he's been given are keeping him away for some other reason.

Perhaps the strain of the campaign is affecting his faculties in some way hmmm? That could explain the quickie pick of fundie Barbie to take the #2 spot, it takes all the attention off the guy that wants the big job, at least for awhile.

8. She needs to be exposed for the lying, phony reformer, nut job that she is.
But shhhhh, the GOP talking heads are saying we should leave Sarah alone. Exposing McCain and Sarah's fake reformer b.s. would mess up the downticket phony reform message they're trying to peddle.

4. Desperation?
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 02:24 PM by speedoo
Do McSame's internal polls show some bad news? Maybe they thought they would put Obama away with the Palin gimmick and the RNC bounce? Are they afraid to actually have to campaign against Obama on .... (gasp) ... the issues? Are they regretting their about-face on "experience" in favor of the phony attempt to "change"?

on edit: Did they get some overnight polls on Palin's interview, and do they show that she did in fact, bomb?

5. He's hiding behind her skirt and Obama's surrogates should say so.
Paint him as the wimp that he is.

6. They are trying to paint her as the poor victim.
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 02:24 PM by Skwmom
Didn't we see this time and again in the primaries?

But her lies and fake reformer image has to be exposed or they could ride into the Whitehouse.

I'd have women go out on mass and say if I lied about my opponent and my record and tried to create a fake image as a reformer , I'd expect to be called on it. You don't get a pass just because you are a woman. The stakes are too high and the issues to serious (hint, hint, she's not qualified for the job).

And her extreme views such a forcing an unwanted pregnancy on someone who has been raped or the victim of incest should be made known to the voting public.

10. Isn't she the pit bull who's ready to play with the big dogs?
She called Hillary a whiner. If she can't take a few questions, she's certainly not qualified to be VP. I see where her next interview is with Sean Hannity.
