I'm sure Palin made a wonderful, "barbie doll" mayor in that little town in Alaska (what was the name of it?) But you have to admit, she is just a pretty face with an empty head. She was cast into the national spotlight as a last ditch effort to get attention for a doomed republican nominee (what was his name?) Palin is out of office for two reasons; 1. she couldn't handle it and 2. she can make more money elsewhere. She'll get someone to write her book (that many "stoopids" will buy) and she'll do something commercial (TV, make-up products, clothes, etc.) Trust me, she will not be in politics and will not have anyone seeking her endorsment (i.e. the kiss of death).

I also think it was strategic to give her "hangin' it up" news conference during the heart of the massive Michael Jackson headlines, in hopes that it wouldn't get as much attention. Sorry Sarah, didn't work. We see through your pretty face....which will continue to bring you great fortunes....but nothing in terms of leadership.

Her words and actions since being nominated as vice president have been a complete failure.
But she'll make millions trolling along with the radical right wing neocon nutjob media ranters.

Obviously the neocons love Sarah regardless of what she does, or doesn't, do. Anything that would hurt the moderates or liberals is OK with Rush, Newt and the Big Business moneyed interests. Apparently the right wing still hasn't gotten the message. On the other hand, they control the Supreme Court, so why worry ... Oh, ohhh...

What is the MEDIA so afraid of ?

Why is CBS and Letterman so obsessed with this woman ? There is something very weird about this.

Palin---Even the GOP is not dumb enough or desperate enough to hitch a ride with a quiter and a whiner of this magnitude. I don't like Goering, I mean Rush but I would vote for him before I would vote for Palin. At least with Herman you know what you got, a jew hating, black hating, mexican hating, Slav hating, Catholic hating, Pole hating ............ self serving S.O.%

If she upsets this many liberals she must be good. Interesting to see that the treatment of her has not upset many womens' lib groups.

I also think that another thing that hurt McCain was the fact that he was not so much of a "maverick" but just plain unreliable and unstable! He did some very strange things during the campaign like suspending his campaign when the financial crisis hit to fly back to Washington. I thought this was a smart thing to do at first and I defended it. However, I have thought about it since then and I now see that it was not so smart! I also thought at first that he was really going to do something when he got back to Washington to help the situation. I was sorely disappointed! He basically did nothing but just sit and listen!

I guarantee Palin could out pitch Obama. Did anyone see that throw, horrible. haha

Of course the poll is going to come out that way, it depends how you ask the question and everyone knows CBS is part of the govt run media, who is part of an on going campaing for Obama.
