Sarah Palin's coming out party has changed the dynamics of the race--and while the maxim is that veep nominees don't alter the fundamental electoral equation, there is no doubt that Palin's speech Wednesday night in St. Paul has the Obama campaign revving up the Payback Machine.
Here are some of the things it's doing:
1) Immediate comment. Last night, the campaign sent out this statement from spokesman Bill Burton:
"The speech that Governor Palin gave was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush's speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we've heard from George Bush for the last eight years. If Governor Palin and John McCain want to define 'change' as voting with George Bush 90% of the time, that's their choice, but we don't think the American people are ready to take a 10% chance on change."
2) David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, sent out an email to supporters this morning asking for a $5 dollar demonstration to demonstrate their opposition to Republican attacks (and, of course, fund counterattacks, as well as show off the power of the fundraising apparatus).
3) Obama's walking into the belly of the beast. He's taping an interview with FOX's Bill O'Reilly Thursday afternoon to be aired in prime time on FOX tonight. He'll also appear tonight on Keith Olbermann's show.

Belly of the beast my a$$. BOTH Olbermann and O'Reilly will pitch the big 0 softballs.
Boycott O’Reilly’s show tonight.
Bill O likes to shout down everyone else but when it really matters he’s just like Larry king.
Pssst!...Hey, Obabble! George Bush ain’t running!.......pass it on!.............
I’m not giving O’Reilly ratings tonight.
...and NERF Softballs at that!!
Odd, isn’t it, that when a Republican tries to unite the country, the Left sees it as “divisive”?
————Obama’s walking into the belly of the beast.-———
A sure sign that O’reilly has agreed to or expected to kid glove BHO.
No way I'm giving up watching MASH reruns.
The played the old Rovian speech writer ploy eh.....:lol:
I suppose when Barry uses the best speech writers that George Soros can buy they tend to get a little miffed when they are clearly out done.
I boycott his show every night - unless Laura is the guest host.
Adults vs. teenagers.
They unfairly used the old Rovian speech writer ploy eh.....:lol:

My father always taught me: “Know youe enemy”.
So, as a spy, I “joined” Obama’s mailing list. Here is the letter. You know, maybe there should be a “vetting” process for joining a site electronically LOL
Here is the letter from Josef Goebbels:
“I wasn’t planning on sending you something tonight. But if you saw what I saw from the Republican convention, you know that it demands a response.
I saw John McCain’s attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part of this campaign.
But worst of all — and this deserves to be noted — they insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.
You know that despite what John McCain and his attack squad say, everyday people have the power to build something extraordinary when we come together. Make a donation of $5 or more right now to remind them.
Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack’s experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.
Let’s clarify something for them right now.
Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.
And it’s no surprise that, after eight years of George Bush, millions of people have found that by coming together in their local communities they can change the course of history. That promise is what our campaign has been about from the beginning.
Throughout our history, ordinary people have made good on America’s promise by organizing for change from the bottom up. Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women’s suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek. And it’s happening today in church basements and community centers and living rooms across America.
Meanwhile, we still haven’t gotten a single idea during the entire Republican convention about the economy and how to lift a middle class so harmed by the Bush-McCain policies.
It’s now clear that John McCain’s campaign has decided that desperate lies and personal attacks — on Barack Obama and on you — are the only way they can earn a third term for the Bush policies that McCain has supported more than 90 percent of the time.
But you can send a crystal clear message.
Enough is enough. Make your voice heard loud and clear by making a $5 donation right now:

Thank you for joining more than 2 million ordinary Americans who refuse to be silenced.

Funny, I haven’t heard PRESIDENT George W. Bush using ‘divisive tactics’.
The Dems have conditioned their followers to salivate with hatred whenever his name is mentioned like Pavlov’s dogs.
I would never be in a group that ‘taught’ such hatred. My 88y.o. German mother tells tales of what happens when ‘hate’ is the motivating factor for ‘change’....
The Olympian "Barackopolis" stage set at Invesco Field is emblematic of the growing likelihood that Barack Obama will suffer a crushing defeat just like his Greek-American predecessor, Michael Dukakis.
This is the kind of attack that is never made against men, only against women. So this one is a matter of sexual bigotry. See below.

O’reilly sucked up and kissed the hood rat’s butt for months to get him to come on his show for an “exclusive” interview.
now - according to this article - Obama is going on Olbermann’s show as well tonight.
That’s going to leave a mark.
Already done.
yes , ... I’m not going to watch B O’Ripley anymore , really
even though I like the Dennis Miller segments ( I’ll watch them on YouTube )
Democrat supporter Murdoch has promissed Hussein that he will be treated “fairly”. If that means he will get the same treatment OR gave hillary, this will be a real gentle lovefest. I certainly won’t watch.
Ted Baxter may surprise us. I am going to watch.
In my opinion, Laura’s shows are best when Monica Crowley is the host.
“....a 10% chance on change”
Sorry excuse for a catch phrase. You would really have to be mentally defective to vote for these guys based on merit and accomplishments.
I am so sick of hearing about “change”. The guy has not even DONE anything so how can he CHANGE anything. Change is about all we will be left with in our pockets if this JackAss makes it to the White House.
Now he attacks her as a good orator with “speech writers”.
Wow! Obama writes all his own speeches??? No? Well too bad, because if he did it would be known in common parlance as “having a leg to stand on”.
Bait nabbed, hook set, reeling in the Big Mouthed ^ass.
What a laugher. “Community Organizing” = Communism and wealth redistribution to the non-producers in our society. Palin speaks to those who WORK to make our nation great. Obama speaks to the takers and leeches who DRAG our nation down.
I boycott O'Reilly every night.
Actually you are only half year ahead of me on that idea :-)
I have not listened to her radio show. I just like it when she is the guest host on bor. I did enjoy the short stint of ‘This Just In’ (or something like that) on Fox.
I am certain he meant to say in "hashish -filled Mosque basements", but figured it might be misunderstood...
Shocker of all shockers, Anderson Cooper on CNN actually took after the other “commentators” over the speech writer issue last night. They were talking about who wrote her speech for her, and Cooper actually criticized them for not bringing up the same questions when Biden and Obama were speaking. He said none of the candidates write their speeches, so it’s unfair to ask these questions of Palin when you don’t ask them of the Democrats.
I almost spilled my beer when I heard it.
McCain even waited until the "RAT Gathering" was over before announcing his VP pick. He gave them clear time to do their thing uninterrupted.
The Obama interview tonight is hitting below the belt, like a spoiled brat who can't win fairly. And shame on O'Reilly for showing it tonight.
What does that “voted 90% with GWB” mean anyway? He was asked about Palin’s speech. He should have just said, “I got nuthin’
The speachwriting talking point really helped ID which pundits were directly coordinating with the Obama campaign.
A very odd observation that was made immediately after the speach wrapped on multiple networks. I really don’t recall authorship of speaches being a valid point before - they’re all speechwritten.

Oh No, too many O's these days for me.
McCain can use this BOR interview. His speech is after Obama’s interview. McCain can think on his feet, (remember Saddleback?) He should listen and take notes and then address everything Obama says. Make Obama look like an id10t. (shouldn’t be hard).
Maybe he was drunk?
Not only that, but how many of them are right now sitting in those chairs as talking-heads? That was the reason they got to be known and landed the pundit job in the first place! Chris Matthews, anyone??
Response #4: Maa!!! Sarah’s *looking* at me. Make her STOP!!!
O’Reilly is such an ass.
If he had any credibility he would ask about the name “Soetoro” but I am sure he sold out to get this gig.
ROFL
Sounds like some body shots must have landed. Maybe some desperation has started to set in for the dems.
I don’t know. I want to see how BOR and OHB get along.
I don’t know. I want to see how BOR and OHB get along. I’ll have to put it on dvr because I sleep in the evenings.
“Obama’s walking into the belly of the beast.”
This author evidently doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
How do you get so rich being a community organizer for people who have lost their jobs?
Agreed. I just think Obama has no class, like most of his constituency.
They are't called RATS for nothing!
