Don't think anyone here dislikes or is as afraid of this conservative crack case to be a heart beat away from the presidency as I am. All the reasons we know.. she lies... she isn't qualified are right there for all to see. McCain picking her as VP shows his terrible judgement and putting his country last...anything to win politics.
This is the problem with Palin. We know the GOP cannot talk about the issues because they have no answers, nothing but more of the same.
As long as we keep the chatter alive about Palin we don't discuss the issues.
No more Palin chatter. Let's discuss issues and mcCain. On those topics we win.
Let's talk about the topics that weren't even mentioned at the GOP Convention...the middle class, health care...ending the war, housing foreclosures, energy independence, the environment.........

Gov. Palin or should I say her speechwriter from "the good ol boy's club" should have considered the following when writing her speech.
She said Obama would increase the size of the government. Who increased the size of the federal government in recent history? Reagan and Bush. Who lowered it? Clinton.
The money she said "she" returned to the taxpayers of Alaska came from the Permanent Fund. This money came from royalties as a result of oil and natural gas sales. Of course there was a larger surpluss with the rising cost of oil and natural gas.
She said after Obama talked to his foreign policy advisors he changed is mind and changed 3 days later to John McCain's position and should have just called him to begin with. Has she forgotten that Obama has called for a timeline for US troop withdrawl in Iraq? This is something that the Bush administration has now had to agree to after the Iraqis called for it. McCain has yet to change his stance.
This "fiscally" responsible governor did not just tell Congress "thanks but no thanks" for the "bridge to nowhere" that she initially supported. She kept the money! Why not return it to the federal government and say put that money back in the general treasury to reduce the budget? She also cut her salary as mayor, only to hire a city manager raising the budget to more than what it was when she started.

Our campaign has successfully united for CHANGE on BARACKOBAMA.COM and other Democratic websites.
The grass roots efforts are expanding all across AMERICA. As we increase our attention to GOTV, Hosting and attending events and phonebanking,the attacks on our nominee have intensified.The intent is to distract and disrupt.
This tactic will not survive our unified decision to ignore. No Response, No Debate....Ignore.
We can do this,
Yes we can.

Subj: FW: Voting Rights
From: Heather Smith, Rock the VoteDear Rock the Vote staff,I was outraged when I found out the other day that the Department of Veterans Affairs has forbidden voter registration drives in its hospitals, rehab centers and other facilities.
This ban hurts thousands of young veterans who have been injured while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. We should be helping our veterans register and vote, not making it more difficult.
Last week, the Senate introduced a bill to overturn the ban and allow states to require V.A. hospitals to offer voter registration to their clients.
Will you join me and ask your Senator to co-sponsor the “Veteran Voting Support Act”?
http://action.rockthevote.com/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id=107
Banning the most basic act of democracy from Americans who have fought for our democracy just doesn’t make any sense. We need to stand up for our veterans--especially for the thousands of young veterans who are eligible to vote in their first presidential election.
Please contact your senators today.
Sincerely,
Heather Smith
As many of you know, there are a group of Party Builder Bloggers that also blog at the Obama site. We have grown to a group of almost 80 bloggers.
Yesterday was Obama's Birthday. We raised almost $800 on our Obama site, and most of it was raised yesterday. That's Party Building you can take to the bank!
A Big 'Thank You" to all that helped raise money. It is never too late to donate or join us on our blog :-)

Remember back to the tracking polls in the North Carolina primary? They said it was going to be close. Obama won soundly. The problem with polls as has been brought up by many people including the very astute Chuck Todd on MSNBC is that many of the new voters do not have land lines. They have cells as their primary phone line. Most polls are made to land lines. Since the younger voters which make up a large segment of Obama supporters are not polled, it is hard to tell if the numbers are accurate. Obama's lead could actually be larger than it is because of this phenomena which started to emerge in the '04 campaign, but is even larger today.
