Isotope – He’s the father of her child. The Palin’s are holding true to their principles, accepting him into their family and treating him accordingly. I see no problem with that.

Anyone have thoughts on the McCain campaign flying Bristol’s boyfriend out for the convention? Are they putting a seal of approval on the relationship or something? Some have started to notice that the McCain campaign is the one pushing the daughter’s pregnancy story, perhaps to distract from the more important allegations about Palin?

Without the religious right the GOP becomes a permanent minority party representing bankers, trust-fund babies, and shopkeepers who fancy themselves tycoons.

Pandora, I’ll happily collect that drink. It is an elaborate ruse to wrest control of the Republican party from the religious right. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

One factor I haven’t heard anyone mention is Palin’s complete and utter lack of gravitas. She sounds like Christine O’Donnell after two glasses of champagne.

LG, I owe you a drink.

Looks like McCain had a major temper tantrum when his 1st choice (Lieberman?) was shot down.

What a rash, stupid decision.

A Bush conservative is not a “conservative” Bush has been a terrible President and a terrible Republican.

Though it has been funny, albeit embarrassing, to listen to him speak.

It is a tragic stat if accurate – like Bush’s spending! SO – maybe Palin does have the ability to work w/ liberal Democrats after all! Nevermind… Bush didn’t.

Joe C -

Thanks for that link.

She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it
with indebtedness of over $22 million.

Yikes! Well, I guess you could spin that to refute the AIP stuff. That is some real GOP governing right there.

I’m beginning to agree with what LG said about McCain’s plan to detonate the christian right. It really looks like,”You wanted it, you got it! Now go F yourself!”

ps check that link!

She was certainly not subject to the kind of vetting most modern Presidential candidate subject their choices to, that is really clear. If she had been, they would have rolled this out alot more professionally and they would have had a messaging campaign ready to pull the trigger on.

But maybe firing up the Culture Wars again doesn’t need a plan. Just point and shoot.

I just got this off Randi Rhodes. Jaw dropping to say the least, if you hadn’t heard of Sarah Palin:
