Obama camp in panic as ‘Xena’ Sarah Palin scythes through support
Times - UK ^ | September 14, 2008 | Sarah Baxter

THE high-heeled, moose-hunting governor of Alaska has sent Barack Obama’s campaign into a state of panic as support for the Democratic presidential candidate haemorrhages in the battleground states he must win to reach the White House.

Sarah Palin, 44, continued to scythe through Obama’s support among women by taunting the first potential black president for declining to choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate and by declaring that questions about juggling work and family were “kind of irrelevant” in the modern age.

The mother of five, who has been called Xena, the warrior princess, said in a television interview: “I think he’s regretting not picking [Clinton] now, I do. What determination and grit and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way - she handled those well,” Palin said.

She presented herself as a champion of no-fuss, no-non-sense working mothers. “Of course you can be the vice-presi-dent and you can raise a family,” she said brightly. “I’m the governor and I’m raising a family.”

...The Democrat cheers that greeted the selection of veteran senator Joe Biden, 65, the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, as Obama’s running mate have died away.

After repeated jabs from McCain, including the false charge that Obama supported sex education for kinder-garteners, . . . They think repeating the sex ed talking point makes it true. I read the statute. McCain's ad was spot on. And it stepped all over the "education" issue day planned for Obama.

love the way Sarah has neatly neutralized the Beast by praising her and having nothing but kind words for her.

I have a sneaky feeling that Her Thighness is enjoying every minute of this.

Rumor has it that LBJ picked up Obama by his ears when he was a child.

I wonder if Joe Biden has quietly hired a food taster?

Joe ain’t what worries me. Consider a Hillary-Biden ticket, if you catch my drift...

LOL. Or have someone start his car for him.

(”Our mistake was thinking women had nowhere else to go.”)

Pretty honest assessment. Women noticed that too, and that’s why they are gleefully punishing the Democrat Party.

Could this be part of the post-convention bounce trap that Rush warned about. They’ll portray Obama as demoralized because he’s down in the polls. Demoralized, even. Then the polls will show him rising again - he rises from the Dead and suddenly he’s got the momentum - huzzah, The Second Coming of The Comeback Kid! I mean, really...I have a hard time believing that, even if they really are “reeling”, the Obama camp would want to spread it around in the press that they feel like they are in trouble...something seems *fishy* about it to me.

Prediction:

Biden will resign in the next 7-8 days if things don’t change by Friday.

And then what?

What kind of deal do you think the clintons are going to insist on to pull Obama's feet out of the fire?

The clintons will occupy the White House, he'll be at the Naval Observatory..

..Or maybe he'll be their houseboy..

I dunno, Blood Elves just seem so frou-frou. Sarah Palin strikes me as a little more down-to-earth.
