Someone Might Want To Update Sarah Palin's Teleprompter

(CBS)
From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

(CANTON, OHIO) - Last week, a familiar dirty trick was reported in parts of Virginia where fake fliers were distributed, advising Democrats to vote on Wednesday, Nov. 5, rather than on Election Day. But at a rally here this morning, Sarah Palin inadvertently implored her own supporters to get out and vote the day after ballots have already been counted.

"Now with just three days from the election, the time for choosing is near. Ohio, are you ready to help us carry your state to victory?" Palin said.

Of course, the election is in two days, not three. A plausible argument could be made that Palin was using today, Sunday, in her count. But yesterday in Florida, she also told voters that there were three days left until Nov. 4.

She is entitled to make a mistake...just like Joe Biden. All of these candidates are exhausted. However, Ms. Palin is woefully inept for the position she seeks. Maybe in another 4-to 5 years once she and her staff have the opportunity to analyze and evaluate her performance and the various commentary regarding her selection.

Well the republicans are phoning black people and telling them to vote on the 5th, perhaps Palin got confused.

Honestly, where on earth did they find this train wreck?

... Of course, it is too late to reverse his lies about public financing. Too bad!

It''s not Obama''s fault McCain jumped the process and accepted public financing without DISCUSSING it which is what Obama stated in writing. Thank goodness that McCain was not negotiating with the Russians or Al Qaeda at that point.

Now that was just precious. The lying Governor Palin lying to her won supporters about election day. Perhaps she would like to end the lie about releasing her medical records before the election -- time is running out and her staff is already a week late by their own version of the schedule.
