"Many question Barack Obama's experience and are now recoiling a little bit at some of the tactics."

If true, Obama is toast.
here’s a quote (after she discusses the rumors and smears against Palin- prenatal care, maternity of baby etc): “I find it really offensive.”
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Estrich has been recoiling in disgust at the attacks on both Sarah and her daughter. The other day Mara Liason snapped at Mort Kondracke for his attacks on the Palins in the FNC roundtable discussion.
Lots of Democrat-voting women are hopping mad about this.
I hope she’s correct...this one time. ;)
I guess you’re referring to President Dukakis... Compared to some of the guests Fox invites, she is reasonably OK for a Dem. Obama has a few big problems: whites, Jews, old people and women. Other than that, he’s a shoo-in. STILL, I’m nervous as heck.
They drove me away! I was a Bill Clinton voter and voted mostly for Democrats. After seeing how rabid the Democrat party has become and 9-11, I vote Republican.
Country First!
William Crystal was apoplectic.
Was going to start a vanity thread but I just turned off the TV in disgust as DNC hack (that’s a generous term) Jamal Simmons did his best parrot impersonation.
It’s a minute-by-minute logrolling contest now. The attacks on Palin have ALREADY backfired so the talking points have shifted back to McCain.
“McCain didn’t vet Palin” is the new mantra because it’s harder to disprove and it doesn’t directly target Palin (although obviously it casts disapproval on her).
It's pretty clear that the criticism is not for what she had done but for who she is. They really can't attack her record so they have to attack her person. I think public tolerance of this has it's limits and the liberals are just about to exceed them.
Sarah Palin is the “AMERICAN EVERYWOMAN” that Dems have been saying a women could and should be, for 40 YEARS...
What it REALLY boils down to is that the Cult Of Obama is a sham built by Media Celebrity.
And Palin THREATENS that Media Celebrity by becoming an even BIGGER celebrity herself. The “Black Guy” story is good, but NOTHING beside the Amelia Earheardt-type story of Gov. Palin. Obama knows that if that happens, this election is already OVER....
I think only about 10% of the Hillary voters are needed to result in a win for McCain/Palin. I don’t see 30% going that way. However, a lot of them might stay home, which is almost as good. Despite all the talk of Hill supports for McCain/Palin I have read on blogs and such, we have not seen that sort of shift in the polls yet. Maybe in a few days...
And this time we're not the target...
Go figure, Susan Estrich a voice of reason.
Life is full of surprises.
I had SWAG’d a quarter of the Hildabeast’s supporters would end up voting Palin\McCain.
Looks like I might have been pretty close.
If the Libs and the Obama campaign keep up their current attacks on Palin and her daughter, it could well be more than 30%.
Man....when LIBS like Susan Estrich knows her fellow LIBS are VILE, they must be REALLY VILE!!
It’s Wellstone Funeral take 2.
They always, always overplay their hands.
Holy smokes! I was just on Hillaryclintonforum.net and could not believe my eyes!
There seem to be a lot of women in America who have a rather low opinion of Mr. Obama, and admiration for McCain and placing a woman on the GOP ticket.
Could all of this be a ruse?
Angela McGlowan who is a black Republican was even being more bold. She thinks 50% will vote McCain.
I'd bet it's not for righteous reasons but because she realizes the blowback is going to sink the RATS.
Sort of. It's more like that old saw:
When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
All they have is the politics of personal destruction.
Sarah looks like a nail.
They drove me away! I was a Bill Clinton voter and voted mostly for Democrats. After seeing how rabid the Democrat party has become and 9-11, I vote Republican.

We both share something in common.
Republicans +2
Democrats -2
Anyone know why you can’t register at Hillaryclintonforum.net? or can ask the admin there?
i want to participate... =(
Welcome to the light side.
(We have cookies too!)
Could?
I Garr-an-tee it.
Supporters of the shit-heel hillbilly will definitely vote for McCain, just so she and her jerk-off husband can run against Johnny Mac in 2012.
We haven’t seen the end of that loathesome duo, not by a long shot.
If someone gets me a wooden stake, I’ll swing the hammer to drive that evil thing back to the land of the dead.

The Kos wing of the Democrat party has crossed a line for anyone with with even a modest sense of right vs wrong. Yes, some of them like Susan may want Hill to run again in ‘12 and that might be a consideration. But they also went through this just recently in their own primary. Only then it was just Hillary (mostly) taking the beating. Now kids have been dragged into it. It’s repulsive.
It is true, and that’s why he has his minions on overtime and hyper attack.
18 Million people voted for Clinton, and MANY were not liberal women, but just women voting for a woman. (Identity Politics) Palin sucks those rejected voters right into the McCain/Palin ticket.
Long and short of it, the Democratic Party’s decade old practice of playing and encouraging identity politics is getting ready to bite them in the butt. Not only this, but the uglier the Fauxbama camp and their hounds in the MSM go after Palin, the more women will vote for her, and the more middle america will be turned off from Fauxbama.
This hyperattack and sleaze is going to backfire so bad on Fauxbama, not suprising, he’s used to Chicago politics, and he’s completely outside his element now, and these sorts of actions won’t fly. The MSM has lost any credibility at “objectivity”... Lets face it... Edwards has an affair and a love child and the press ignore it, but Palin’s daughter is pregnant, and they can’t wait to humiliate a 17 year old girl to get at the Republican?
The credibility factor in this election of the MSM is gone, they have shown themselves without any question to basically be the attack dogs of Fauxbama and the democrats.. let em keep it up.. its long past time for another landslide and rejection of the democratic party and the saul alinsky political playbook.
If Mac can get a bigger percentage of Republicans to SHOW UP AND VOTE in November, then he will win easily even if he does not get a single crossover vote from Hillary's people
And Sarah is tailer-made to get more people to take the time to show up and vote. That's what Obama's minions are afraid of. They are afraid of Republicans being given a reason to show up at the polls on election day. And, I'll be honest with you, McCain hadn't been giving me that big a reason prior to the Palin pick.
I thought he was going to reach across the table. (And now I know how to spell Kristol.
No, having them stay home is better. If they show up and vote for Palin, they will then likely vote Dem for the rest of the ballot. If they stay home, that helps us in all the other 2008 races.
Agree and applause!
I think she asked Greta why her husband has jumped the ship and gone over to Mccain.
I have a feeling I may be doing that again this year!!
Susan is waaaaaaaay behind the times.
Strategic Vision Pollster Predicted Palin VP Pick last year
newxmax ^ http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/Pollster_Predicted_Palin_/2008/08/30/126415.html?utm_medium=RSS
David E. Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision, LLC accurately predicted the presidential nomination of Arizona Senator John McCain in 2007 on POTUS Radio when all political experts had written McCain’s obituary.
Johnson also predicted that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would be McCain’s running mate in March 2007.
Johnson reiterated that Palin would be the candidate following Barack Obama’s selection of Joseph Biden as his running mate.
Johnson based his predictions upon polling done by Strategic Vision, LLC in key battleground states and his own political expertise of over twenty years.
“Based upon our polling in key battleground states in 2007 and early 2008, all indicators pointed to John McCain as the only plausible Republican presidential nominee,” said David E. Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision, LLC. “Our polling showed that McCain was the second choice of the other candidate’s supporters particularly in Florida which really made McCain’s nomination possible.
Our polling in 2008 have shown that Barack Obama underperforms among female voters particularly in the states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that provides an opening for Senator McCain,” continued Johnson.
“Additionally, John McCain has a unique opportunity to present the future of the Republican Party in his vice presidential selection.
All of this indicated a strong dedicated conservative that would be outside of the box and Sarah Palin headed that list along with her appeal to social and fiscal conservatives and her moving life story.
Strategic Vision polling in the key battleground states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, and non-traditional battleground states such as New Jersey indicate that 25% to 35% of Hillary Clinton supporters will not vote for Barack Obama and might consider voting for John McCain based upon his running mate.

Good one. I think I'll use that in spoken conversation as an excellent counter point to zerObama in print.
Nice double pun as he's both a Foe and a Faux...
Edwards??? zerObama is a 'love child' too. His parents didn't marry (if they did at all-no records) until Stanley Ann was 3 months preggers.
Nor I. I've made no secret of it either.
From the Coincidental Palindrome Department:
SARAH PALIN = A SHARP NAIL
92% GOP
18% RAT
45% Indie
Those are tough targets to hit, but I think Palin gives us a decent chance of doing it. That is the reason the MSM is so frenzied in their attacks.
