The disgrace is really to the guy running for the presidency. He picked her in a fit of whatever. She was out of her league, and fed a script she didn't know enough about to extemporize.

Unfortunately, her drive will probably promote her towards a position in the "lower 48." She could be a real troublemaker as senator.

D'accord.

There's a difference between "dumb" and "narrow minded and undereducated." Watching her last night she looks as if she wouldn't be as contorted in her speech if she were shouting out her own agenda. Ugh!

Yeah, that was it. America First basically was MY country, NOT YOUR country. I forget who was the guy behind it: Father Coughlin? GLK Smith? One of those two.

"Country First" always sounds to me like a cleaned up version of the "America First" movement of demigogs of the 30s and 40s in this country.

The best contrast between shallow Palin (is that whom she means when she says "Palin' around with terrorists?) and Obama's depth was in speeches each gave yesterday. When Palin's crowd booed, no comment was made; no effort to deflect that attitude was attempted. When Obama's crowd booed, he broke the line of his speech and told the crowd they didn't need to boo, they needed to vote. The second time it happened in the Obama crowd, Obama did the same thing. The THIRD time, he didn't admonish about the booing. He simply said, "What do you have to do?" The crowd replied, en masse, "Vote!" Rather than an instigator abetting ugliness, Obama was a teacher teaching democracy.

Wasn't that the article saying that the Weekly Standard and some other group sponsor junkets and about two years ago, sponsored a cruise up to Alaska where they met, and were impressed with Sarah Palin, and subsequently put her on their list of someone to push politically?

Kudos to independentvoter19. That's great ad material; all written out in one fell swoop.

Speaking of body parts, did anyone notice in one of the You Tubes how Sarah gives the old man a two armed body hug greeting him on the hustings, while his wife stiff arms him?

I'm feeling I want Stevens to get off. If he's indicted, then the office will be open and who wants Palin for senator from Alaska....or anywhere.

Time to get off our rusty dusties and go out and chat with people who aren't sure they're in the choir, yet.

AND to donate to democrats running for the house and senate who are in tight races. We've got to make it possible for Obama to pass legislation when he's elected.
