This story is just one more proof that there’s no such thing as a too-strong woman; just too-weak men.

"Republican National Committee lawyers were likely to go to Alaska to conduct an inventory and try to account for all that was spent.."

Is that so? Maybe there are other likelihoods too, who knows?

I find a lot of what’s in this article to be very questionable. I listened to Carl Cameron’s report on Brit Hume’s show tonight. According to him, Palin has been asking questions about the New Hampshire primary, as well as other Presidential election schedules. She herself said this was a positive experience for her. If things were as bad as the NY Slimes and others are making it out to be, I highly doubt the girl would be looking for information about a possible run in the future.

I believe the McCain insiders are in major CYA mode here. They knew the effed up when they kept Sarah from doing what she does best and that is retail politics. The botched interviews that should have been done live on the networks or informal to get her used to the national limelight. To the way they made her read from a teleprompter hurt her and you could tell she wasn’t happy about it.

I think she need to run again for Governor and skip 2012. The odds are Obama will get relected because the chances are the economy will be preceived as being better then even tough it might not be the robust numbers we’ve had the earlier part of this decade and the 90’s or 80’s. Realistically 2016 is going to be our next best shot because Biden will be in his 70’s and he will be like a McCain type vs someone on ourside that will be young (hopefully) and fresh. That would give Sarah plenty of time to travel the world to meet foreign leaders like Governors do on trade missions for their states. She could get to know more of the movers and shakers in the party.

Unless someone comes forward under their own name I am calling BS on this one. Oh and the prank call? Whos the idiot who gave the phone to Palin and told her it was from the leader of France?

...two senior members of the McCain campaign said on Wednesday that Mr. Scheunemann had been fired from the campaign in its final days. But Rick Davis, the McCain campaign manager, and Mr. Salter, one of Mr. McCain’s closest advisers, said Wednesday that Mr. Scheunemann had in fact not been dismissed. Mr. Scheunemann, who picked up the phone in his office at McCain campaign headquarters on Wednesday afternoon, responded that “anybody who says I was fired is either lying or delusional or a whack job.”

Somebody is lying. And if it's not the New York Times doing the lying (that paper never deserves the benefit of the doubt), then McCain's campaign was even more of a mess than most people imagined.

I was singularly unimpressed with any of the candidates’ appreciation of history and current events, but was sorely disappointed at Carl Cameron’s reportage on Fix News. Sarah was, if anything, near the best of them. Even if the rumor about her ignorance of the geopolitics of South Africa were true, it would pale beside Barack Obama’s utter cluelessness about the language(s) spoken in Afghanistan (a faraway country of which he knows little, but in which we are actually fighting a war of which he will shortly be the (clueless?) commander-in-chief), and Biden’s bizarre assertion that we had drven Hezbollah out of Lebanon.

I’ll take Sarah. She’s a whole bunch smarter than these “smart fellows” seem to be.

The Obamanation trying to smear her ahead of 2012...”organise” early!

I wouldn’t believe ONE WORD the Old Grey Lady has to say about ANYTHING that has to do with Republicans. They want to try to rip the Party apart so that we won’t be an effective force against their Chosen One.

So who are these ‘advisors’ who were saying this about Mr. Scheunemann?

Paying attention to the New York Times is like listening to a portable radio with fading batteries. The words become more indistinct, unintelligible and fade away.

The Times will file for Chapter 11 within four years; my prediction
