" Change is coming to the repub ticket. Palin will be off the ticket. Her abuse of power as governor of Alaska is rapidly becoming a major issue for the McBoring campaign (re: the emails that surfaced today). Palin is in serious legal trouble. They can no longer throw the experience flag (re: his selection of a mayor as veep) and he can no longer play the maverick card (re: this veeps love for abusing power and circumventing the law to push personal agendas forward). Great choice McBoring....way to let the media do your vetting. How sad....would McBoring be this careless in naming judges and cabinet members? Scary people.....very very scary. Thank goodness we have Obama-Biden. Obama-Biden will win this thing in a landslide. "

" workingclasshere: If you're not looking for "maverick" change, I suggest you NOT vote for Obama-Biden-Laden. Now THAT's the kind of change we do not need. The fact that you Demo's do not find humor in Palin's speech, you either do not have a sense of humor or you're feeling a sense of fear. Maybe it's a little of both! Can't wait to get this settled in the election. There's going to be a lot of unhappy liberals. "

" To workingclasshero:

Do you have proof of her voting that way? I have searched for proof and have not found it yet. "

" how can she put the country first when she voted to secede from the usa? is that the kind of maverick change we can believe in? "

" Well, Econodude, Republicans are new at being the staunch defenders of Political Correctness, so I thought I'd help out. "

" Do you really think McCain threw a curve to Obama's campaign or to the American People? If he wins and Palin is the vice and McCain crokes, it's American left with Palin as the face to lead the strongest country in the free world. Even if she's just the vice, I don't see her usefulness beyond the election...would McCain really utilize her to help him make decisions? As I've said, McCain's pick can be likened to Kerry picking Obama in 04, before his convention speech . . . the concept that Palin is more ready for the job than Obama or Biden because she was a mayor and a governor for a couple years is a joke! The coolaid the republicans have is laced bigtime. "

" Ktlin once again you type your words and make a fool of yourself. I think the mayor of a city has a firm grasp on what community organizers do and do not do. The fact is you and the O'bamaites are running scared now that Palin is on the ticket. Nothing would please you socialists more than for McCain to have picked Romney, Huckabee, or even Lieberman. Truth is McCain threw the boy king and his court a major curve ball by picking Palin and they are the winning ticket for 2008. "

" It's interesting that three days after he says in front of a crowd that the difference between him and her is that she is "good looking" and then goes of FOX News (who the Dems hate) and says "...[B]y you guys in the media."

Apparently, there aren't any women working in the media these days, and certainly not at FOX News? His own slam against the media for being sexist is sexist! Keep 'em coming Joe. "

" To: Jim Killian.....I absolutely agree with you. It makes my day coming on here and reading the posts on these political stories. "

" So is it sexist to say that she has a nice butt? "

" To Danser61701,,,,, would you say the same thing if Sarah Palin was a man? From what I have read, and heard,, her husband is right on top of child care in their family... in other words, are you saying ,,,never send a man to do a womans job??,,i.e. "motherhood",, or never send a woman to do a mans job,,i.e. "vice president." "

" I absolutely love this.

The Conservatives are complaining that the Liberals are not painting the same picture they have of their candidates. The Liberals are complaining that the Conservatives are not painting the same picture they have of their candidates.

And a bunch of central Illinois cornjerkers are posting authoritative comments behind anonymous handles. You guys ROCK! "

" conclusory statements are pretty stupid and that is why bush was elected twice - people are ignorant. people still cling to the idea that republcians are conservative, pro law enforcement and fiscally conservative; Dems tax and spend. Look at the facts. during the Dem period, this country has a surplus. In the Bush years, we are reaching record levels of national debt. To make things worse, it's a national debt to rising countries who have not been US allies. Who was the idiot who proposed stomping into Iraq by borrowed funds? oh yeah, Bush. Tell me how that supports conservative principles? "

" There are thousands of single parents who have very difficult, demading jobs. Danser missed one very important detail, PALIN IS NOT SINGLE. You go off talking about hiring nannys but you fail to mention the womans husband. Are you trying to say a father can't give just as much love and attention to their children as a mother? If your answer is yes I have news for ya. I have been raising my son on my own for 5 years now with absolutly no help from his mother. People like you are trying to make an issue out of something that shouldn't even be talked about let alone become an issue. If leaving your children in the care of the other parent is an issue, why are we not talking about every other Presidential/Vice Presidential candidate that has ran for office with small children? Do you think Obama is at home every night caring for his little girls? Of course not, he is married and his wife is with them. Do you honestly believe Palins' husband won't be there to care for his kids? "

" dwarf, yes: Mark Shields of PBS and Sally Quinn of the Washington Post. (Schlesinger is a professional counsellor.) And thanks for your definitions. "

" There have been a number of things that set this election apart from previous Presidential elections. There is of course the obvious fact we will have 1 demographic in the White House that has never been there before no matter who gets elected. We will either have our 1st ever black Presodent, or our 1st ever female Vice President. This morning I was lidtening to a talk radio station out of Chicago, the host of the show said something that I never thought of until he said it. Biden is the 3rd most Liberal Senator we have in Washington, yet there has been little to no mention of this fact. In contrast the word "Conservative" is used daily when the media discusses Palin. I find it funny I have not heard that from anyone else. As I was listening to Palin talk last night something did occur to me that I believe will hurt McCain/Palin, unless McCain addresses it tonight. Neither McCain nor Palin have really discussed a plan to curb ilegal immigration, or getting a hold on the costs of healthcare. However, because socialism scares the heck out of me, I will be voting for McCain in November. "

" Econodude - Did you happen to see where Dr. Laura Schlesinger put in her two cents? That's the only person in the mainstream press who's pushed the "She should be home with her family!" angle - at least that I've seen. Do you have any articles or examples to point to?

Look, I know this may be shocking to the right-wing political correctness police, but here's a quick primer.

SEXIST: "She shouldn't be running for office, she should be raising all those kids!"

NOT SEXIST: "She's not qualified for the job for the following reasons..." "

" Ktlin, your kool-aid chugging left wing responses never cease to amaze me. This whole community organizer thing cracks me up. The Messiah clings to this as somehow being qualified to run as pres, then downplays Palin's job as mayor. All she was doing was pointing out as mayor, she had people she had to answer to. Your comment is straight out of David Plouffe's email to Messiah supporters begging for money. In Palin's speech, where did she lie about Obama? She merely pointed out holes in his campaign in a playful manner. I know, the truth really hurts sometimes. "

" NO, she cannot balance family life and that of vice-president. Her baby needs her and a nanny isn't going to do the job of the love that a downs syndrome baby needs. What a precious baby! She must have read all of the comments about WHY she never holds her baby. She's holding it in the picture, LOL! If you want a life in politics, do not have 5 children! Wake up! "

" Biden said the sexist coverage against Palen is coming from "some of the right-wing guys." If he really said that, that shows how out of touch he is. "

" Obama's campaign has 2 choices. 1.They respond in kind. 2. They let her push hard and fall on her face. It looks like they are choosing the second. She gave a good speech which had plenty of potholes including the answer to the bitter comment. She dissed community organizers across the nation. She doesn't apparently know what they do. She will find out. These are the very people that they are trying to get votes from. Not the organizers. The people they are trying to help. She also dissed the press without realizing they have been covering for McCain. She did 2 things last night. 1. She read a speech introducing herself which included nothing new. 2. She became a bull dog but included no plans. She is not available to the press. Last night one of the speech writers said who cares? The answer was the American people of course. McCain is running for president not Sarah. She is opposing Biden. I am looking forward to her answering questions. Will she always be smug and sarcastic? "
