Palin Says Omaha Visit Was Not Campaign’s Call, It Was Hers
(CBS)
(OMAHA, NEB.) - Sarah Palin said at a hastily scheduled Sunday night rally in this solidly red state that the decision to come here was hers alone and was not the defensive move by her campaign to lock up Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District that many pundits have suggested.
“The pundits today on TV—one of them was saying, check out the vice president’s schedule, check out where she’s going — she’s going to Nebraska,” Palin said.
“But the pundit was saying the only reason she’d be going there is ‘cause they’re scared, so they gotta go there and shore up votes. And I so wanted to reach into that TV and say no, I’m going to Nebraska because I want to go to Nebraska.
Nebraska is one of only two states that splits its Electoral College votes, and the Obama campaign is making a serious play for the solidly-Republican 2nd Congressional District, which is represented by Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb. But Palin suggested that the obvious political ramifications had nothing to do with her decision to come here.
“And you can ask — and probably the reporters will ask — the top dogs in our campaign why am I in Nebraska, and it’s truly because I asked to come to the heartland of America today,” she said.

See all 48 Commentslet me get this straight. People are upset with Palin, so there must be something that strikes fear.
Then you say she is dangerous. You have just flunked Psychology 101. Nobody''s gonna beleive your subliminal ***. Sarah palin is dumb as a brick for being used by McCain''s campaign to spout gutter rhetoric and half truths, and your a moron if you think we would. the whole premise behind her nomination was to get a "folksy" woman to draw votes by talking "real" to the supposed dummies who would believe her incoherent babbiling. Your not a devils advocate, you knucklehead, your just a simple knucklehead.
Make sure you attend the big damage control meeting at the GOP headquarters after you lose the election. And don''t forget to listen to Limbaugh and O''Reilly. Maybe you can get some pointers from those losers.
Good Luck.
Now, try to catch the tiger by the tail -:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I hate to think that she might be President, and that''s a very real possibility.
Palin is dangerous, and her rhetoric is designed to bring her attention,and the liberals are doing that. Nobody would notice the dog barking until you start telling people that the dog is barking.
Pitbulls are not known for their intelligence, and this one is also on a chain. All bark!!
mccain better start running away from her, she''s the poison pill that mccain will eat on election day
If Obama is not a true American then why he worked for the Community Organizer all those years to help poor people? He is an ordinary American with one house and one American car, while McCain has 12 houses (which he could not remember)and 13 cars (2 of which foreign made).
there is a 50-50 chance that voters will tire of palin attacks and conclude mccain''s politics is not what they want in a leader
Everyone knows Palin is no longer running for John McCain. She is now running for Palin in 2012.
The GOP needs to realize that going to these areas could damage the Republican party when the Troopergate findings are released.
