2nd one didn't show. But I presume it is probably Dukakis.

Dukakis looked (and was) wholly out of place in his shot. Ssarah has been shooting her whole life and looks natural in it...and I bet she talks the talk with those soldiers too and they appreciate it.

Just like in Iraq, our only real choice is victory. Only Victory. Victory upon Victory. Until they are so beaten down that they can do nothing but cough up a bit of blood speckled spittle.

Yeah, I’m a little fired up today....

Is that Sarah-Cuda behind a Ma-Deuce?

"Governor Palin, he was still an active senator"

"That's OK, he wasn't using his head anyways..."

No problem. I love exposing the gullibility of others!

This list is leaving out important info:

1. Sarah Palin just finished successfully negotiating the $35 Billion TransCanada natural gas pipeline, having to deal with a foreign government plus 3 Canadian provinces obtaining permits, right-of-ways, revenue-sharing etc.

2. Obama has executive experience but is ashamed of it. He was CEO of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge(CAC) for 7 years, which spent over $100 million during his tenure but accomplished, per a University of Chicago study, no discernable benefits.

William Ayers was the Chief Operating Officer at CAC, who Obama says he really didn't know and never exchanged ideas with.

Judging by the reaction in the room--one female Newsweeker said she couldn't "believe that [our male reporters] were even asking this question"--I have a feeling he's right. Saying a woman can't pursue her professional goals AND care for her children is never a winning political issue--whether it's conservatives or liberals wagging their fingers.

I KNEW that even liberal women would be turned off by these attacks on Gov. Palin!

Love that one with her in the helmet. She looks SO much more natural in it than Dukakis ever did.

It was Dukakis. Don’t know why it didn’t show.

Part of the problem with Palin, Thompson admitted--and the promise, for that matter--is that she's something of a Cinderella story. "This is the stuff they make movies out of," he said, laughing. "In fact, it's a good idea for one."

Does the senator have any parts picked out? we asked.

"I have a couple," he said.

Fred's right! Sarah's story would make a great movie!

It’s larger than Texas. Twice it’s size. Larger than any European Country. Larger than any 5 European Countries. Some 560 or so thousand square miles, IIRC.

Gov. Plain should use some of this info as a visual. Over 8000 miles in boundry length, and over 6000 miles of coastline.

So I guess Jim Robinson and 85% of Freerepublic are gullible fools in your little world...

Those photos are from her debate prep against Biden, right?
