so is this the strategy? stonewall the passage of the bailout package to make it look as though mccain had a hand in the negotiations? fucking fucker.

this is absolutely the strategy. whether it works or not I am skeptical.

Obama is not gonna debate Palin what kind of silliness is that

The Sarah Palin Selection: McCain Folly Or Stroke of Genius?

The presumptive Republican nominee for President, John McCain, made his choice for Vice President on the ticket by naming Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska. Political pundits have rightly noted she has no foreign policy experience and very little executive experience, being just shy of 2 years into her first term as governor.

Palin, a mother of five and a hockey mom, was introduced by McCain to a crowd of about 15,000 supporters. She stepped to the mike and addressed the audience like a seasoned veteran. After introducing her family and accepting McCain's offer of the number 2 spot on the ticket she made a few colorful and timely remarks.

Palin, a beautiful woman, who facially resembles movie actress Rachel Welch in the movie 10,000 B.C., shimmered with youthful vigor and vitality while making her remarks. Based on my first impression of Palin I believe John McCain may have had a stroke of genius when he decided to select her. If Sarah Palin is as smart as she is vivacious I don't believe the American electorate will care about her inexperience.

Some people have expressed concern that she will become a liability for McCain when facing Joe Biden in the Vice Presidential debates. As almost every married man in America can attest it is unlikely Joe Biden or any man can out-argue a woman. If, during the debate, Biden hits her over the head with facts, she doesn't grasp, it will appear to female voters he is trying to bully her. If Biden mocks her lack of experience he runs the risk of appearing like John McCain deriding Obama for lack of foreign policy experience. It didn't work for Hillary Clinton against Obama and it won't work for Biden against Palin. If she is careful it is unlikely Joe Biden, or any man, can defeat her in a one on one debate.

Sarah Palin has a colorful, salt of the earth, speaking style which is disarming. I believe the American people could fall in love with her as a person.

also what the Democrats should do is obvious - point out that THEY HAD A PLAN and that the Republicans were too incompetent to get their shit in order and cooperate in a timely fashion; Dubya couldn't get members of his own party to sign off on his own deal

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state.

seriously if the Republicans don't get on board with a plan how easy will it be to both blame them for the crisis in the first place, as well as hang them for being totally incompetent to deal with its aftermath?

From what I've read and watched, it's House Republicans, spines stiffened since one o'clock this afternoon, who've suddenly rebelled. Senate Dems, Republicans, and the President were all behind it. If there's enough bipartisan outrage, and no deal happens before Monday, McCain will pay for it.

yeah that's what I gleaned too, although it was the Republican Senator on the Banking Committee who was quoted as saying "there is no deal" (blanking on who that is right now)

Elisabeth Hasselbeck finally called out some of "The View"co-hosts on the Sarah Palin bashing she finally proclaimed September 25 as "Hate Sarah Palin Day." Immediately the other co-hosts defensively swarmed over the comment denying there is any hate for Governor Palin. Joy Behar claimed "it’s not personal. It’s my country that I’m worried about."

Hasselbeck’s remark was sparked by a discussion over a new YouTube video displaying a Kenyan preacher praying to protect a woman, who resembles Gov. Palin, from witchcraft. Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck explained to the other two theologically challenged co-hosts that this is simply a prayer to protect this woman, possibly Sarah Palin, from evil.
