Palin Tells Limbaugh She Has “Nothing To Lose”
(CBS)
(SCRANTON, PA.) - Before delivering her stump speech here in Joe Biden’s hometown, Sarah Palin called in for her first interview with conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh.
“Rush, I've got nothing to lose in this and I think America's got everything to gain by understanding the differences—the contrasts here between Obama and McCain,” she said.
Unprompted by Limbaugh, Palin brought up her concerns about accusations of voter registration fraud.
“Speaking of some of those associations, let’s talk quickly about ACORN and the unconscionable situation that we are facing right now with voter fraud, given the ties between Obama and ACORN and the money his campaign has sent them,” Palin said.
“Obama has a responsibility to reign in ACORN and prove that he is willing to fight voter fraud....for shame if the mainstream media were to cover this one up.”
Limbaugh asked Palin about whether she thought she had a political future beyond this election.
“That’s a good question,” she said. “No, because I am thinking about November 4th, and I am just so absolutely passionate about the job that we have in front of us from now to November 4th.”

OUR GREAT NATION , THE SUPER POWER USA NEEDS THE PERFECT LEADERS.
What''s so bad about the AIP? The AIP has long been aligned closely with paramilitary militia groups -- the kind that fear black helicopters and a United Nations takeover of the US.
Indeed, under the leadership of AIP''s tough-talking founder, Joe Vogler, AIP allied itself with the Islamic dictatorship in Iran in 1993 so that Vogler could appear at the United Nations to appeal for Alaska''s freedom from US "tyranny."
A fellow AIP member murdered Vogler before he could take the UN stage. The current AIP chairwoman, Lynnette Clark, believes that Vogler''s killer was framed and all but blames the Federal government for Vogler''s "execution."
I think you are AL jolston
The fact that she has nothing to GIVE, is the reason she has nothing to loose. How she became a Governor of a State in our Union, is a mystery to me. Her political future? As we are seeing, she will have a hell of a time holding on to her Governorship. One thin I remember about the locals in Alaska when I was there in 99, was thay tolerated no "ABUSE OF POWER"
"REGISTRATION FRAUD" is not "VOTER FRAUD"
The biggest problem is the approximately 1.2 million American voters that the Republican VOTER SUPPRESSION EFFORTS will DISENFRANCHISE.
ACORN is simply another "Fox Fantasy"
The TINY NUMBER of "questioned" ACORN registrations will have NO EFFECT ON THE ELECTION
10,000 QUESTIONED registrations out of 1,300,000 ACORN Registrations are "suspect"
That is only 0.7% of all the registrations filed by Acorn
10,000 QUESTIONED registrations out of 212,000,000 registered voters in the USA
So the QUESTIONED registrations are only 0.004% of ALL VOTERS in the USA.
ALL OF THESE QUESTIONED REGISTRATIONS will be REJECTED by the county registrars. So NO VOTER FRAID will occur.
This was NOT an effort to CREATE VOTES IN THE ELECTION. NONE of these false REGISTRATIONS were going to result in actual VOTES.
These false registrations were done by EMPLOYEES TRYING TO UP THEIR REGISTRATION NUMBERS. These "phantoms" were NEVER going to SHOW UP at the polls! So NO VOTER FRAUD would have occurred.
So this "Registration Fraud" is really just a smokescreen by McCain, and the GOP and an attempt to throw doubt into the campaign by a candidate who is losing badly.
She may have sank the McCain campaign but she''ll sail off into the safe harbor of Kool-Aid bay and recover at the right-wingnut bar and grill.
That said, America is always willing to forgive. She will have time to burnish her skills, to better understand how to convey her hard right ideology wrapped up in her folksy charm by studying Reagan and his sunny optimism. The main thing working against her is Palin''s apparent lack of patience and curiosity. It also depends on how much traction her nutty alliance with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party and her odd religious ideas stick in the memories from this campaign. If voters ultimately decide she''s a kook from the fringes, she might never get a chance for an Act Two.
Does this mean even Rush Limbaugh is conceding the McCain / Palin loss?
beyond the base of red-meat conservatives ? Does she not get that hiding out from the mainstream media in protest to their "unfairness" makes her look all that much more insular and sheltered ? It is clear that her personality is only comfortable with supporters already pre-disposed to her own views. This is an incredibly dangerous characteristic for any national leader to have, particularly one whose views are as far to the right as Palin''s. Americans should be very fearful of having this my-way-or-the-highway radical conservative a heartbeat away...

Too bad her honor is totally in tact, and Obama''s get the smears campaign is nothing but trash!
It''s always so funny, Obama trashes Palin and McCain and then when they throw his ***** back him he screeches he wants to talk ISSUES!
It''s hilarious!
