Obama will win this election. But comparing SP to Dan Quayle is ludicrious. Bill Clinton said it best "it''s a mistake to underestimate her"

And that is exactly what I see happening....

This is a silly article you site no facts to back up what you say. Obama may have been a senator for four years but he has been campaigning since 2004. Kennedy had a lot more problems than just his drinking, remember he let his girlfriend drown? redheadranting

The very fact that Palin is the nominee points to the RNC having Diebold firmly in their pocket.

What''s important about Sarah is what she does not know, not what she does know. There is plenty she does not know, that''s obvious by the way she''s being hidden and coached and her answers.

Can she be "trained"? Yes, so can dogs and monkeys, you can even train a bird to mimmick. The Republican party wags are the organ grinders here, with McCain standing in the background trying to capture something out of all this.

Laughable are the comments "I''m voting for her because she''s a woman, break the glass ceiling, and she''s being picked on because she''s a woman and it''s sexist or I''m voting for Palin" No, she''s being picked on because she really is a weak candidate. As to the glass ceiling Geraldine Ferraro broke that years ago. As to voting for Palin, sorry you''re not you''re voting for the ticket that just happens to have McCain as the Presidental candidate. You know "the old guy" that believed in no regulation and now does.

In adddition she has been proven in less than two weeks to be less than truthful,(she''s been caught in lies, so much for change)less than smart even with a lightweight interview with coaching and one must question her position on many items in question as both mayor and governor.

And no, we don''t get most of our oil from Alaska as per her comments would sugges, it''s about 2 to 3%.

Republican Kool-Aid being served in the refreshment area. More flavors to come.

''The main complaint about Palin is her lack of
experience.''

How about lack of candor and honesty? Her experience sucks but her ethics is nonexistent.

This is a moronic article.

Palin is not only very smart but is a capable politician and leader. Its clear that these posts are crammed by campaign workers for the Obama campaign.

Pailin will be an exceptional leader.

When the case is obvious enough even the general public is going to see that a glam ditz is just a glam ditz and not a shining representative of scorned rural culture...

Is Sarah Palin the only thing the New Republic can write about?
The New Republic is obviously extremely concerned about Sarah to be devoting this amount of time attacking her instead of dealing with McCain.
Keep it up libs, this is a good thing.

That is right, keep it up. Soon McSane and Palin polls numbers are going to be in the basement! Good job pointing out the real Palin. We already knew McSame was an old fool.

They just keep on proving just how left wing they are. CBS, ABC and all of the others just make me want to vomit. When in h*** did the liberals come to believe that they are Gods and the rest of us are beneath them. The MSM realy believe they are above us. Just keep smearing her, you only make it better for her.

Here is a news flash for you rightwingers: ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC (is there any others missing besides FOX) you think is part of the left slanted media bias. Perhaps you might consider that this is the way it is. That most of America just might be more on the left than the right. It is a plausible explanation since all of the GOP faithful thinks the media is on the side of the left. :)

I think that Quaylin Palin is fair game to be trashed. I mean that is the kind of family she is from and has. Also she is an incompetent comment on an equally incompetent pResidential candidate in McSame.

If you think the country is doing well under Bush, then vote for McCain-Palin. If you''re sane, vote for Obama-Biden.

It appears that Americans were not fooled by the GOP. It is a shame though that the GOP faithful is so simple minded and gullible. They told you that everyone would love her, that she will be able to siphon off some of the disenchanted Hillary voters. Well it is obvious that this pick was a mistake. I am so glad that he picked her.....Go Obama!!

As much money B.O. is getting and spending on taking Palin down. Palin is going to come out of this being requalified being VP by the Dem. party.
B.O. is scared. How is he going to repay all the favors and promises he made to special interst(well fannie mae is gone). No matter after Nov 4, the Polosi choke collar goes back on if she can get it over the special intrest puppet strings.

Didn''t you people know that Palin is running for President against Obama - his 143 days of congress makes him fit to be King. Interesting the news doesn''t talk much about the lawsuit against him for not being constituionally eligible to be Prez of the United States. The only person being trashed right now is Palin.

Here Republpigs read this
Former GOP senator calls Palin a ''cocky wacko''
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) %u2014 Former Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee has called vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a "cocky wacko" and said her selection as John McCain''s running mate has energized supporters of Democrat Barack Obama.
Chafee left the Republican Party last year after losing his bid for re-election and now supports Obama. He told an audience Tuesday at the New America Foundation in Washington that the Alaska governor has revived a "lackluster McCain candidacy."
"They''ve just thrown this firestorm, this tornado, into the whole presidential election," Chafee said in response to an audience member''s question about whether the Obama campaign should worry about Palin''s presence in the race.
He said her speech at the Republican National Convention had the unintended effect of energizing Democrats and Obama supporters.
"People were coming into my office, phone calls were flooding in, e-mails were coming in, ''I just sent money to Obama, I couldn''t sleep last night'' %u2014 from the left. To see this cocky wacko up there," Chafee said to laughter.
