What about all the dirt (which is out there just not published) on Joe Bidens sons. Fair game or not?

“The Dems have energized the Republican base like nothing I’ve ever witnessed.”

I’m putting in my tagline something that’s been echoed all over the place:

I hope you are correct b/c the MSM is trying to dampen the bounce with the Palin drip, drip, drip of “disclosures.”

This reminds me of another innocent Infant who enraged the child-killers of His day just by being born. My money is on the baby.

Quote: “I think the dems view the Palin attacks as being a win-win in two ways..
people who don’t pay much attention will believe all the BS about Palin,
and secondly the McCain camp will have to spend a lot of the bounce money they got after McCain announced Palin as his running mate on television ads to counter all the nasty stuff being aired about Palin.”

Yes, that is their calculation. But in this case they have just come off of a primary where a large part of their constituency feels slighted because another female candidate received this kind of treatment. I wonder, how do you think the women of this country are reacting to this? Hell, even Susan Estrich was fairly outraged on Fox last night. If the McCain campaign does the right thing and weathers this storm, I am betting on a very big backlash.

campaign manager Steve Schmidt:
"Her selection came after a six-month long rigorous vetting process where her extraordinary credentials and exceptionalism became clear. This vetting controversy is a faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee for Vice President of the United States who has never been a part of the old boys network that has come to dominate the news establishment in this country. Senator McCain picked his governing partner after a long and thorough search. Governor Palin looks forward to addressing the nation and laying out the fundamental choice this election represents for the American people.

"The McCain campaign will have no further comment about our long and thorough process. This nonsense is over. It is time to begin the debate about how to win the two wars this country is engaged in; how to make this country energy independent; and how to create jobs for American families that are hurting. The American people get to do the vetting now on Election Day – November 4."

You might have that right, but they also get the conservative base riled up with righteous anger. A lot of money, votes and energy come from that.

That’s a terrific poster!

It covers about 90% of American voters.

I think we are looking at a Republican landslide in November, thanks to Sarah Palin.

“”Trig is not her child by showing his birth certificate as proof she is the mother, then show hers to prove she is a US citizen. Then state that what she just did is more than what Obama has done. Then announce as Govenor of Alaska, she has instructed the Election commitee (or whoever is the head of it) that Obama will not be on the ballot until he shows an offical birth certificate proving he is an American citizen, and proof of live birth will not be accepted as proof. The media could no way in hell cover up and its checkmate for Barry!””

I love the way you think, I hope her campaign does this ASAP.

Nah. It won’t work that way.

A tsunami of a backlash is building today against Obama and his campaign and their leftist MSM supporters.

After 100,000,000 watch Sarah’s speech tonight, it’ll be the Obama campaign that has to spend millions on useless ads.

And, the most vile thing of all is their attacks on baby Trig; because he has the audacity to live.

Democrats are truly the party of death. Why else did his existence send them into a frenzy of ugliness?

My email list is a bunch of book agents. I don’t know their politics, and so I think I’ll pass.

Why the Hell doesn't Schmitt get out there and say this stuff on camera??? The ass-wipes at MSNBC and CNN are attempting to kick her to death with the non-vetting crap. "Morning Joe" did a solid 4 hours of it this morning.

Why don't Republicans have a response team??
