Sarah Palin may be new to most Americans, but she’s not entirely new to the national Democratic Party.
Democrat Tony Knowles, her opponent in the 2006 Alaska gubernatorial race, put together a detailed, 63-page research document — obtained by Politico — cataloging Palin’s strengths and weaknesses. And the Obama campaign, in particular, knows Palin well: A key Obama consultant, Anita Dunn, worked on Knowles’ campaign.
“We’re running against John McCain — the issues raised around his decision and the fact that he clearly bowed under to the right wing of his party and let them exercise veto power over his vice presidential pick,” Dunn said, suggesting the Obama campaign wouldn’t be recycling the 2006 Democratic criticism of Palin.
“Whether it was Sarah Palin or Tim Pawlenty or Mitt Romney or somebody else, fundamentally that wasn’t going to alter the dynamic — which is that John McCain believes we don’t need to change the fundamental economic policies in this country,” Dunn said.
The Democratic opposition research document, which was not obtained from Dunn or from the Obama campaign, is largely a catalog of the day-to-day decisions of a small-town mayor. It contains examples of her sometimes confrontational tenure and colorful details of an ordinary woman who was thrilled to meet Ivana Trump and who began the process of opening a marketing company whose name — Rouge Cou — was supposed to be a French version of “redneck.”

Nor is she ‘new’ to Laura Bush, Cindy McCain and a whole lot of other people. I became aware of her back in 2007, and said to myself hmmm, that woman is going places.
Did you by chance watch Greta’s show last night?
No. What was it about?
I cant wait to hear from her. I bet she brings in bigger numbers than Obama on Wed.
btt
Amazing that they can tout communism so openly, so brazenly. I suppose they think they have managed to brainwash knowledge of that evil system from the young skulls full of mush.
“A key Obama consultant, Anita Dunn, worked on Knowles’ campaign.
“We’re running against John McCain —”
She’d better let Obambi know. He’s still running against Palin.

She’d better let Obambi know. He’s still running against Palin.
2008 will be remembered as the year the MSM came out of the closet and openly delcared their partisanship.
Three FRONT PAGE articles today in the NY TIMES on Palin’s seventeen year-old daughter. These people are beyond understanding.
The TIMES has yet to publish an INVESTIGATIVE piece about John Edwards’ campaign money and where it’s going......to his mistress???
The left are very, very sick people.
Our household has extra popcorn and envited guests lined up. The wife is campaigner in chief. Heck wifey even wanted to listen to Rush today ... what’s up with that.
“sometimes confrontational tenure”
If it were Hillary they would call it “standing by her principles.”
A couple of thoughts:
1. If you read all the details, you walk away smiling because she sounds like a charming and warm person. REAL.
2. All the details about skateboard parks and funding pensions just add to the claim that Governor Palin has walked the walk.
3. This one article with these clippings allowed me to learn more about Governor Palin and the issues she’s worked on than everything I have read about Barack Obama. Beyond Rev. Wright, Ayers, Resko, Birth Certificates, Indonesia, Muslims and killing new born babies...everything else written about Obama seems to be written by himself. (sorry I forgot to capitalize Himself for the inferred deity.)

I guess if Biden opposed abortion that would be news.
McCain aides whose judgment I trust are impressed by Sarah Palin. One was particularly amused by this exchange: A nervous young McCain staffer took it upon himself to explain to Palin the facts of life in a national campaign, the intense scrutiny she’d be under from the media, the viciousness of the assault that she’d be facing, etc.:
Palin: “Thanks for the warning. By the way, do you know what they say the difference is between a hockey mom and a Pit Bull?”
McCain aide: “No, Governor.”
Palin: “A hockey mom wears lipstick.”
Hmmm. I hope the document does as much good for Obama as it did for Knowles.
Front page of the LA Times today:
OBAMA ADMITS COCAINE USE
And my wife is... Morgan Fairchild!
That's funny. Obama, the most liberal Senator in the U. S. Senator, selects Biden, the 3rd most liberal Senator in the U. S. Senate, is criticizing McCain for selecting a conservative. As if Obama isn't trying to remain sympatico with the left wing loonies with his own pick.
Ha!
no wonder Biden says children are off limits-
the MSM has gone nuts on Gov Palins children will they on Bidens too?? remains to be seen
