Mistakes are made in campaigns, remember up until this point we have been saying how masterful the McCain campaign has been---but I think they are going to be back on track now. I am glad Sarah did great at the debate and that it seems to have REALLY fired her up---turned her into that pitbull--that is what we need her to be. She knows what she is doing and she says it so everyday people can understand...she talks like us, McCain sometimes doesn't make it as clear, hopefully he will be better on 10/7---it is HIS format...people will ask questions, I want to see when they ask Obama about Ayers---he will stutter I bet...all we need is people to have a reasonable doubt about Obama, we don't even have to prove anything, just the thought that he associates with terrorist types is enough to make people doubt...he still has not closed the deal with the American people---he should be up like 20 points considering the economic crisis, and he isn't...now throw in Bill Ayers and other radicals, and people will be afraid...and they should be...I think this timing is right and having Sarah tell it, great move, she is loved, she is trusted, she is an outsider....the people will listen to her. The hockey/sports moms will fear Obama.

It is going to be a wild one folks...

And thanks to FOX for giving the Obama camp that talking point, or did Obama give it to FOX?

Is it desperate to ask about the mystery man's opinions, views, and associates?
I don't think so.
Also, they call it desperate why? Because McCain is down in the phony media polls?
Puhlease. This race is still close, and they know it.

[latina4dubya]

Trouble is, McCain waited so long to begin hitting hard its possible voters will buy the 'look he's desperate' line.

i said this same thing last week... it might be best to leave these things to the 527s this late in the game...

[Harry Wurzbach]

How many media members and other Obama supporters will kill themselves when he loses next month?

Right now the media is trying to create this aura of inevitabilty for Obama that simply does not exist.

[Aliska]

OK, I went back and found the NYT article where Ayers said they didn't do enough and saved what I could of it. It is in frames, and I don't know how to save those. If I try to save in IE7, it wants to do as an .mht file which I think makes you go back to the source. I want it in case they bury it somewhere so just saved the text and one screen shot to prove it was there.

Now we need good documentation that can't be dissed as "right wing wacko site" to prove just how much of an association Obama had with Ayers. I know, I've seen a lot, but I want sources that the left can't refute.

This is going to get played down so hard by the L/MSM as to make it insignificant. Plus so many that will vote for the commie team to begin with are part of the fold whether they care to call themselves socialist etc., or not.
Hope I am wrong and my barometer is often influenced by working with ninety five percent idiots, socialist, and raw die hard democrats in Philly. These people could give a *hit less if Obi where to lay on his belly each night upon a Stalin prayer rug and worship an idol of Lenin.

[RatsDawg]

Maybe Fox put this out there to appear to be fair and balanced, knowing that what Sean is about to show on Fox tomorrow night will be damaging.

[Eagles6]

Man, good thing Fox is rabidly right wing. Imagine how bad this story would have looked if written by an unbiased journalist! (Do I really need the /sarc tag?)

[Pikachu_Dad]

She just read todays NewYorkTimes...

[Interesting Times]

William Ayers, a 1960s radical who used to detonate bombs to protest Vietnam...

Uh-huh. And what about all the bombings after the Vietnam War ended?

[word_warrior_bob]

Let them play it down all they want, they will still have to mention BILL AYERS, not everyone is a robot, people know how to use google.

The MSM is the enemy and will operate as such, IGNORE them, we get our message out without them.

CNN/NYT Bias Contest   Stanley Kurtz

A CNN article on Sarah Palin’s criticism of Barack Obama’s relationship to unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers actually cites National Review as one of the publications supposedly debunking Palin’s point. How CNN can cite National Review this way is a mystery to me. Maybe we’ll have to set up an NR "truth squad."

I was very briefly on CNN immediately after the McCain campaign called for me to be given access to UIC library. A CNN reporter interviewed me, and almost every question was an attempt to challenge the significance of the Obama-Ayers link. I answered every query in detail. When the report finally aired, my points about the significance of the Obama-Ayers connection were cut. And now, CNN is actually claiming NR as an ally in its effort to undercut Palin. Incredible.

I susspect that the so-called “journalists” will do a story on this dirty little terrorist Ayers and his terrorist pig wife Dohrn, the crook Rezko, and a variety of other Obama corruption issues on the day after the election to cover their own pathetic “professional responsibilities”.

[bushfamfan]

All they have to do is cite the relationship evidence and it is damning to their loverboy Obama. I would keep hitting him with it along with the questions it brings to his judgment and affect on public policy because he worked on ‘education’(ie indoctrination) with Ayers. Ayers hosted a fundraiser at his house. It’s a little more involved than they want to admit and all they need to do is cite that evidence. That’s enough right there.

[nhwingut]

YEah, their threat worked so well she repeated at today’s CA rally. And it sounds like part of her stump speech.

LOL!!

SARAH PALIN HIDING FROM THE PRESS AGAIN

[WmShirerAdmirer]

Yes, What’s going on with McCain, when is he going to take the gloves off? If he won’t, he should turn Sarah loose, I bet she’d make a fantastic attack dog and not miss a beat!
(I’m being complimentary here, I admire her gumption.)

[Marine_Uncle]

I truly hope you are right.

[snarkytart]

Yep. As if we are just suppose to let Obama take this election without opposition. The media is so far in the tank for him they cannot even see the light at the end. Obama wants to be the most powerful man in the world, and we are just suppose to let it happen without a fight? This man is the most empty weak candidate to ever run, and nobody is suppose to oppose him, or else they are called names. What a sad phony Obama is...the man is a media created fraud.

[jerry557]

I wish voters were smart enough to do this type of research on their own. The internet makes it so easy yet it seems people are even less informed today than they were 20 years ago.

We are in a very dangerous period of American history right now. People are so obsessed with “change” that they are willing to elect someone with ties to people who have voiced very strong hatred towards the United States.
