Why? It got to be after 9 pm there she is at a rally with the baby.  I don't understand it.

WE can comment here.  Recommend.

OMG!! Has anyone noticed the implausible statement that Palin has been making lately?

Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you've said you have been listening to Joe Biden's speeches since you were in second grade.

Now what would a 7 year old be doing listenin' to Biden speechifying? If Palin was a mental giant then I might believe this, otherwise it's likely a line someone else made up for her to feed to the press.

So it probably went off something like this.

Coach Lieberman: Ok Sarah, we want you to go out there and start planting the idea that Joe's been around a long long time and represents the status quo.

Palin: Ok. But isn't John been around almost as long?

Coach Lieberman: Sure but that won't matter voters love you and won't even think to notice the hypocracy of it, just smile and do a little of that twang thing you do.

Palin: Like "I'll get back to ya?"

Coach Lieberman: Perfect. Now ... say something like, "Senator Biden's been giving speeches since I was in elementary school." You know he was elected when you was just a second grader? I've been listening to Joe speeches ever since he was elected.

Palin: That sounds great!. I think I use that. Palin whispers to herself several times, "I've been listening to Joe Biden's speeches since I was in second grade ... "I've been listening to Joe Biden's speeches since I was in second grade." Ok, next!

Oye vey!

John McCain couldn't lead his own delegation to the rescue.

All eight of Arizona’s U.S. House members helped the U.S. House of Representatives shoot down a $700 billion bank and mortgage bailout plan Monday. The measure was aimed at keeping U.S. credit markets from freezing and helping the financial sector deal with a mountain of bad mortgage debt.

The Gallup daily tracking poll, which hasn't been posted yet, will show Obama up by 8 points today, Frank Newport, Gallup's Editor announced this morning on CNN. He also said that historically, the candidate ahead in late September, with few exceptions, wins. The exception he provided was Reagan against Carter in 1980. Of course Reagan vs. Carter is very different from this election.
