Comments on: For Republicans, A Different Kind Of Party

CBSNews.com Analysis: As Everyone Awaits Palin’s Emergence, McCain Shows His Convention Will Be Somewhat Unconventional

[rrcampbell1]

Lots of empty seats at this GOP convention.

"[A]s for that V.P. talk all the time, I''ll tell you, I still can''t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the V.P. does every day?" - Gov. Palin

McCain is a pain and Palin pales in comparison to Biden''s experience, sharpness and experience.

GOP? This the same old party, for sure, and no longer very grand.

[yankeerebel7]

Yeah, when it comes down to it, I''ll probably be voting for team elephant this year. Obama just isn''t doing it for me.

[armydog2]

The new republican party- "We are total F@ckups" are ya sceered now.

GOPers predicted Doomday for McCain--
He didn%u2019t choose the best woman for GOP Veep __
Hot Mic in St Paul ---ABC News_It seems that Republicans Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy were caught in a bit of unguarded conversation today and someone posted the moment to YouTube.___
((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrG8w4bb3kg))
---Noonan, a former speechwriter to Ronald Reagan and a Wall Street Journal columnist, and Murphy, a longtime GOP campaign strategist, had been guests on MSNBC when host Chuck Todd breaks for a commercial. The camera cuts to a wideshot, but the audio continues for another couple of minutes, as the GOPers debate the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain%u2019s running mate, including:
Murphy: It''s not going to work.
Noonan: It''s over.
Murphy: But still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.
Todd: I think this was insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson... She%u2019s never looked comfortable with this.
Murphy: they%u2019re all bummed out
Todd: I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I would think they went for the, excuse me, political bulls**t about narratives...
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that''s not where they live and it''s not what they''re good at, they blow it.
Murphy: You know what''s really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism and this is cynical

johnny302 , all we''ve heard for months from the republicans is how Obama isn''t qualified, so now that you have Palin that''s no longer important? Hypocrite.

[pvperson]

"country matters more than party" says Lieberman, like he or his fellow republicans have ever believed that. Party first and last is the creed of the neo-con. Always has been and always will be, evidence -- Bush.

[hhroams]

rumor is that bushs pardons list will be for every cabinet member in his administration--so look for 1/19/09 to see who needs a pardon

[vetforobama]

McSame is going to wish he vetted her.

In a February interview with MTV, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin lavished praise on maverick Republican presidential contender Ron Paul.

She had a few nice things to say about another GOP candidate, Mitt Romney. But Palin made no mention of John McCain.

By the way she showed better judgement than McCain did supporting her. Ron Paul is 10 times the man McShame ever will be.

[leftyintexas]

There would be many many Dumbocrats in jail if Dumbocratic Presidents like Clinton did''''t pardon them.
