No, seriously. She is like a gift from heaven. That hateful, corrupt little troll is going to go over like gangbusters with the people who were voting for McCain anyway.
And exactly no one else.
Best I can tell from her speech (usual caveat: read, not watched, as one takes 90 seconds and the other an hour) she was nominated because Ann Coulter was busy.
Classic right-winger-unconstrained-by-facts moment: Barack Obama wants to take all your money. Ignore reality, that both candidates propose tax plans that cut taxes on everyone making under $200,000. Conservatives have a neat way around inconvenient facts like that – Obama's lying.
Second-favorite moment: bringing up all of her kids in the first 2 minutes after days of complaining about how the media is prying into the lives of her children.
That mean librul media! What kind of people would shine the national spotlight on teenagers for political gain?

It's amazing how quickly Rove wrote this speech! He's so busy now days with Fox news and his smear tour that finding the time must be a stretch..It must be a new mixture of the KoolAide supplement!
IF this dweeb from AK has a clue, a SINGLE clue, what shes getting herself into with the likes of the Republican smear machine she'll run away as fast as she can…or be eaten alive and tossed aside like the rest of the non-insiders.
She has no plan, no experience in world affairs, no plan other than Newt's on energy, no plan for education other than what Dobson tells her, no plan on health care, and no plan to re-build the country's infrastructure. IF the republicans want to run on the issues rather than a beauty contest the game is over, but the media still seems to be dwelling on the money teet where they're comfortable with no accountability.
If anyone looks past the smoke and mirrors and thinks of the implications these lunatics can have over our lives for generations, maybe centuries by appointing three judges on the Supreme Court to overturn most of laws from the last 50-80 years then they may think twice. But Rove is counting on everyone loosing sight of that small issue.
VERY dangerous folks…..

quote from NPR's coverage of Republican convention:
Delegate: "We are the party of Abraham Lincoln, of Teddy Roosevelt, and of Ronald Reagan."
Lincoln: I couldn't think of a more inaccurate comparison for the modern GOP.
Teddy: Oh wait, here is a more inaccurate comparison.
Reagan: Doesn't belong in the same breath as the other two.
A more fitting quote would be:
"We are the party of Nixon, of Reagan, and of the Bushes."

If anyone in America is paying attention, they'll see the hypocrisy of a mom who is a staunch support of 'abstinence only' ahm, education with 17 year old pregnant daughter.
Yeah, that's working pretty well for you, isn't it.
beau says:
and, presumably because mccain & palin have run out of bullets (not likely) or feet to shoot (more likely), the party is weighing to help.

favorite bit?
“Sounds like Rep. Westmoreland should be careful throwing stones from his candidate's eight glass houses,” said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor.
Jake says:
I wish I'd gotten knocked up when I was 17 so the GOP would celebrate MY marriage as well.

Ed, you were my AI three semesters ago in the Spring of '07 in Bianco's intro Poli Sci class. One of my friends, and a former student as well, told me about this site. Simply put: I love it. And to this specific topic of Palin I only have to say that it will be quite interesting to watch the mass chaos that would unfold if she became president if McCain would kick the bucket from being 110 years old.
