"The comments are about an association that has been known but hasn't been talked about," she said. "It's important to talk about how Barack Obama kicked off his political career in the guy's living room."

[Carlucci]

When discussing the litany of bad people that Obama has chosen to associate with, I haven’t seen many mention of one important group:

Drug users and drug dealers.

Sarah and John, when confronted by the media, should seize the opportunity to frame his drug use as another example of poor judgement in past associations.

[IL1949]

I’d like to see her take it a step further.

She should name NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and CNN... state that they’re ALL well aware of Obama’s associations with Ayers and that she finds rather “odd” that NONE OF THEM have said ANYTHING. Then she should look straight into the camera and ask them why they’ve chosen to hide these FACTS from the American people.

That would get some very serious attention.

[paul in cape]

Senator Obama, when you started your political career in Williams Ayers’ living room, did he mention anything about the Boston policeman he killed with one of his bombs?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

But the MSM is already saying that Palin’s comments about Obama’s associations with terrorist will backfire on John McCain..... but, I don't care anymore , Palin keep it up and make the truth spread wide and clear.

[Aria]

She is a God given gift. He heard our cries....and He delivered. God Bless Sarah and her family...may He keep them safe and protected from the vile evil that is out there, trying to destroy His gift.

Yes, God, please keep Sarah and her family safe. There are a lot of bad people out there.

[I see my hands]

Where is McCain backing her up?

[SolidWood]

This woman is everything Conservatives have dreamt about for years, if not two decades.

[fantom]

Same ol fear sell. When did they become so concerned about what happens to Mac ? BS.

Yes she should. After highlighting that INCREDIBLE BAD JUDGMENT

And then she should tie THAT 'bad judgment'---with his 'bad judgment' of opposing the 'surge',,,,

and tie THAT 'bad judgment' with his willingness to UNDERMINE THE EFFORTS OF OUR TROOPS BY PROVIDING 'AID-AND-COMFORT' TO THE ENEMY DURING TIME OF WAR (by calling for an early pull out before the job is done)!!!

Plenty of chances to highlight Hussein's 'precious good judgment' of which he is so proud! /s

[impeachedrapist]

Keep it up Sarah...if we go down we better go down swinging and screaming about the audacity of his candidacy

McCain/Palin are in the driver's seat, despite the shrieks around here to the contrary.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

“Obama campaign manager NYT responds: They both supported each other, served on the same committees and lived on the same street, and socialized together. But there is no evidence they knew each other”

Yeah .. just like Obama sitting in Rev. Wright's church for 20 years, giving over $ 30,000 to that church .. and listening to sermon after sermon over those 20 years and say that the does not agree with what Rev. Wright says.
Or as Bill Clinton once said " I smoked pot , but, I didn't inhale it "

[stockstrader]

But the MSM is already saying that Palin’s comments about Obama’s associations with terrorist will backfire on John McCain..... but, I don't care anymore , Palin keep it up and make the truth spread wide and clear.

I agree.

The American people deserve to know why it is ok for their President to launch his political career in the home of a TERRORIST!!!

Win or lose--they deserve the truth---and 'the whole story' here!

[microgood]

This is great for getting the base energized, but it will not sway independent voters. McCain has to convince independents he is the best one to deal with our economic problems or he is toast.

[Senator Goldwater]

You gotta love this woman’s sass.

(spelling?)

I hear ya. That black dress she wore Thurs night didn’t lose her any fans.

[NoGrayZone]

Yes there are....but I do believe there is more of us than there are of them. I also believe He will keep her and her family safe.....and we must continue to pray for them.

He did hear our cries and answered. We must now keep up our prayers of protection and grace. The more He hears from us....the STRONGER he answers!

[VR-21]

"Sarah will not be intimidated by mediaspeak."

She made that clear from the get-go, and I think that's primarily behind the MSM's rabid attacks on her.

[realcleanguy]

Obama is so full of crap, you have to be brain dead to not see it

[Terry Mross]

My sister, whom I always point out voted for Clinton twice and calls herself a liberal, said she’s convinced all the prayer is what made her so good in the debate. The fact that my sister is voting for McCain gives me hope. She was going to vote for him anyway but after Palin she’s excited about voting for him.

I’m in Texas, a safe state for McCain, so I’ll write in Palin and give her a head start for 2012.

[NoGrayZone]

This is great for getting the base energized, but it will not sway independent voters.

First off....yes, it is good for the base, who, by the way, were NOT energized AT ALL. Secondly...it WILL sway independants. Everyone wants someone "like them" up there, fighting for them. What's wrong with you?

[rom]

It’s all part of a larger offensive I’m sure. I’ll keeping my hopes up that the RNC and McCain are ready to fire an all out assault — not just on O’Biden — but also the Democratic Congress.

We could actually make some gains in Congress this year if this was coordinated well.

Time to damage the Democrat brand. This crisis could come back to boomerang on them.

SNL put it out for everyone to see. The seed has taken root in the minds of the popular culture. And O’Reilly isn’t the only media figure to lose a bundle in the market.

The Dems have overplayed their hand. It’s up to the RNC and McCain to take advantage of it right now. I am doing my part, sent $100 to the GOP after the VP Debate. I have my bumper sticker and lawn sign out.
