Veep candidates coming to New Hampshire
Sarah Palin will make her first New England appearance next week as the Republican vice presidential nominee.
The Foster's Daily Democrat is reporting this morning that the staff at Dover High School has been alerted to expect Palin for a rally next Wednesday. John McCain's presidential campaign is scouting other potential stops.
UPDATE: Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden will be in New Hampshire on Monday.
Biden will campaign at the American Legion hall in Rochester and at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester. Biden was scheduled to campaign in New Hampshire on Monday but canceled due to a death in his family.
McCain and Palin have been campaigning together this week through Midwest battleground states. But after what they consider a successful performance in last week's vice presidential debate, McCain's advisers have been more willing to send Palin out on her own.
New Hampshire, which saved McCain's presidential bid in January, is also looming as a potential swing state in November, though Democrat Barack Obama has surged into the lead in the polls.

Oh great, Palin gets to bring her traveling circus of hate to New England. Fantastic.
Maybe this time she'll even bring a cross or two to burn.
Wow, Finally, New Hampshire will be on fire, the red machine is coming. Thousands are waiting for this visit! My neighborhood is becoming impatient! New Hampshire is with the "Put the country first" ticket!
Right db any one who disagrees with Obama is a hater. I know what the db stands for.
Whether Dem or Rep, I would hope we can all agree that db is a moron.
protest at dover high time! everyone call and complain to the principal. we need to freeze this jerk outta new england! nobody gives cold shoulder better than us yankees!
Well db.... you just keep holding on to Hope and Charisma... It worked for the Partridge Family. It could work for nObama.... riiiiight
Yeah!! Lets Get Out And Protest!!! CMON PEOPLE!!!
Word up db Right is where it's at.... Sarah is coming to kick you little left wing butt of yours... Better run she coming, run while you can do you really think Joe B. will protect you against Sarah, don't think so you saw what she did to him at the debate, if it was as a price fight they would have stopped it in the second round... Jonny and Sarah
i hope the teachers at dover high tell all the students that palin used her gubernatorial powers to illegally search private documents and then have people fired and then subsequently to quash the investigation into such abuse. Make sure you point that out to your students, ok? There's a real civics lesson here.
db, I'm with you. That's exactly what she's doing.
db, there's no need for that. You're not doing your party any favors. "Travelling circus of hate"? C'mon...
Fantastic!!! Give her a warm, respectful welcome!
Don't forget why your motto is "live free or die" because Freedom is on the line in this election. Economic freedom, Free Market Capitalism, Traditional American Values is on the line.
Mr Obama is NOT like most Americans. Not because of race but because of values. Rugged individualism, Independence, personal responsibility IS at the core of Traditioal American Values. Please Support them and McCain/Palin.
Palin is smart, strong-willed, and is probably the most attractive VP candidate of alltime. So of course, most women hate her. Women are catty like that. That being said, she is not suitable for the Presidency and thus offers the McCain ticket very little. She would make a good Energy Secretary or Interior Secretary, but her foreign policy experience is just plain awful. She could not be trusted with our military and our relationships abroad. Mitt Romney was the only choice that could have saved McCain's ticket. Mccain blew it. I will vote for McCain, because of how terrible of candidate Obmaa is. Basically the male version of Palin as far expereince.
I'm with you dissembler. Let's make sure we are loud enough that McFailin's screechy voice is drowned out. Her race baiting and incitement is criminal.
We cannot wait to see Gov Sarah Palin! FINALLY!!! Someone who can relate to and listen to OUR issues, values and concerns. Not Boston Elitist issues but true New Hampshire values and issues!
To all,
I deeply and sincerely apologize for my earlier postings and insensitive behavior. I was paid by the Obama campaign to say these things on any blog I can find. I really don't believe in them but I'm a struggling college student who needs some pizza dough (get it?).
db
How dumb do you have to be to believe that Palin and McCain are the answer to anything? How dumb do you have to be to think that four more years of Republican rule will solve what's fast becoming the worst financial mess in America's history? How dumb do you have to be to believe that all the creatures of this earth (humans included) will be the better served with McCain and Palin at the helm? How dumb do you have to be to be among the 28% of Americans who still think GWB is doing one heck of a job? How dumb do you have to be to believe that hate-filled attacks are the way to a better county? Evidently you have to be from NH. I live in the state, and God help us if there are really this many morons living among us.
Sounds nice but I am not sure she can hold a question and answer session even with a bunch of high school students
After falsely claiming, again, that she said "Thanks but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere, maybe Palin will hold a press conference and take questions on her witchhunting preacher and her secessionist ties. Oh, I forgot, it's only "NObama" that has an allegedly shady past.
I hope I can get the day off to see her. And db, from everything I've been hearing for the past few weeks, hate is more than abundant in New England and from the pulpits of certain churches as well. You can step down off of your high horse now.
Can't wait to attend...she is a breath of fresh air who tells the truth and is a true yankee thinker. Are you sure all these negative comments have not been put in by ACORN folks? Seems like the posts have all been the same and the same rhetoric (kind of like all those votes will be that they have submitted). Does not sound like true NH folks who have always been fair thinkers with good judgement. Go NH!
Great! I will get to try out my Halloween costume a little early this year. She is a pig!
Hopefully Pain will be as stupid in NH as she is on TV.
Here are some Palin doozies for those of you with your heads in the sand. She say "nu-cu-ler" fer crissakes.
"I know that John McCain will do that and I, as his vice president, families we are blessed with that vote of the American people and are elected to serve and are sworn in on January 20, that will be our top priority is to defend the American people."
"It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where—where do they go?"
Why is she coming to a high school? Planning on preparing for another debate maybe? She may be aiming too high....

From New Hampshire, you can see Canada.
db is 100% right and 0% wrong. worstnightmare is about to have his worstnightmare realized. And I'm laughing about it. Nothing like watching right wing hate merchants squirm! ;-)
Biden coming to Manchester on Monday. Why no coverage? He will be at SNHU for noon time rally.
Sarah Palin may be many things, but she is definitely not a jerk -- takes on the Alaskan GOP and wins, takes on the oil industry and wins, can shoot, fly a plane, married to a blue-collar hunk, has 5 kids, including a Down's Syndrome baby whom she calls "perfect." Apparently "dissembler," quoted above, thinks that free speech is for Lefties only, and the rest of us should shut up. That's not how it works here in America.
disagreeing with obama doesn't make you a hater but apparently supporting palin might. there certainly has been a large number of haters at rallies lately, in case you haven't been paying attention. can't blame that on "db".
Whether Dem or Rep, I would hope we can all agree that Palin is a moron cast from the same mold as W -- uninformed, unread, and uncurious.
“Troopergate”? Poopergate!!!_Doggone it, folks can’tcha see what the liberal press is tryin’ to do to the most popular governor in the whole wide world? (Yup, the same liberal press who’s been palin’ around with the domestic terrorists and who hate us for our freedom, and don’t even CARE that she’s just like us and all that.)_I mean, come on guys, it wasn’t Sarah, it was Todd – “The First Dude” who got all mavericky and did this stuff behind her back when she was busy shootin’ wolves from helicopters and fightin’ oil companies and stuff, makin’ sure ol’ Putin isn’t raisin’ up his head in her airspace and such. AND tellin’ Congress ” no thanks to that bridge to nowhere” and all the other stuff that’s made her the most popular governor in the world and all._Don’tcha’ see? It’s not Sarah, she’s just like us! And besides, she’s part of a pair of mavericks that are plannin’ on fixin’ every thing that’s wrong with the world. You betcha’! Remember, she’s just like us!!! Ya’ gotta’ don’t blink on this one! It’s Obama and all HIS domestic terrorist pals from his kindergarten years! They’re the ones! Don’t blink or the secret Muslims will be all over ya’ thicker’n black flies on a three-day-old moose carcass. You betcha!!!
Come on Folks, do you really think she is qualified to be President should something happen to McCain??? Frightening thought...and I would've supported McCain before George W. did such a number on him in NC years ago. McCain's choice of Palin showed really poor judgement on his part.
Bring your pitchforks and torches! The losing ticket's conservative consolation and catharsis tour is on its way. Remember now, the chants are "NoBama!," "Terrorist!," "Kill Him!," and "Sig Heil!." Oh wait...that last one isn't P.C.
I will bet the entirety of my rapidly dwindling 401k that Sarah P could could not speak for 15 minutes regarding her (or McCain's) plan for the US without attacking the opposition. Her entire campaign and existence is defined by her disrespect and incitment of hatred for one man. It's petty and unbecoming for someone aspiring to be VP. New Hampshire has a keen nose for BS, and while I am sure she will have a couple hundred folks who want to shout racial epithets in her presence, the rest of us have no time for her.
God Bless Sarah Palin.
TO THE ----1----WHO BELIEVES IN ECONOMIC FREEDOM, THE FREE MARKET, AND TRADITIIONAL FAMILY VALUES WILL ENDURE ONLY IF MCAIN/PALIN R ELECTED....??? OBVIOUSLY U HAVE NOT SEEN THE NEWS OF LATE!!!!!!! 700 BILLION IN GOVERNMENT DOLLARS (TAXPAYER) TO INFUSE IN THE FREE MARKET AND TO BAILOUT COMPANIES SO THEY CAN HAVE ECONOMIC FREDOM, OR IST IT???? AND AS FAR AS TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUE, ISN'T SARAH PALIN'S 17 YEAR OLD, UN-MARRIED DAUGHTER PREGNANT??? THANK GOD FOR GOOD OLL FAMILY VALUES!!!!!!!!!!
I'm an independent in NH. And many of your posts are exactly the reason I can't stomach the Republican Party right now. Do you really think all this nasty name calling, racism and divisiveness is what America needs? You are dividing America with hate and racism and making our great country weak. You love to throw the "Liberal" label at anyone who doesn't agree with you. And about the horrible, terrible press--sure, we all need to get our information from many sources, but when will you stop letting the far right talking heads do your thinking for you? And you bring God into this? Would God advocate killing a candidate and lopping off his head as some Republican supporters are advocating? How embarassing to associate with that group of people at this time!
I'll be there along with my brother a life long democrat (and proud to say FORMER liberal) to cheer Sarah on! You people against Sarah make me sick. You are all either the freshly indoctrinated (at your little community colleges) into the American bashing liberal tripe or you are the old aging 60s radical losers. Obama is a complete fraud. He didn't even author his own racist book. He will bring death and utter poverty to this great nation of freedom. He is a hater and a fraud. I predict that if he does get in he will commit suicide within two years just like Hitler.
Oy. If you want to watch some scary tv, watch the crazies coming out of the wood work at the Republican rallies. Just what Dover needs! McCain and Co. must be so proud.... what a class act.
You know I am a college student who works full time also. I sit in class and I hear students do nothing but bash McCain and the republican party since they are "sick of the war". I am also tired of the war but if Obama gets voted in he can't just snap his fingers and bring everyone home. In fact he is going to keep the troops out in the middle east except put them in Pakistan. Not only is he going to keep our troops in a dangerous country but he will televise his attacks across national television. I understand people's frustrations but don't vote for Obama just because he says he will bring change.
Sorry db, you are wrong. It's actually the politics of "hate and fear".
The traveling circus of hate would be the Obama protesters that support a Socialist for President.
Hope to see lots of peaceful protesters against McPalin outside Dover High on Wednesday. There are too many great slogans out there for signs!
America NEEDS change. We do not need 4 more years of bushes policy's. We NEED to elect OBAMA AND BIDEN on nov.4th as our next President/ Vp of the United States Of America!!
Sarah Palin is a true lady and a genuine conservative. God has sent her to this country at just the right time. All these leftie commies are terrified of her! Palin will upset the socialist applecarts of Obama and his fans in the media.
I am so tired of being accused of the very things the liberal foaming-at-the-mouth crazies are doing! Shall we talk about race baiting? Governor Palin wears a white blouse and she's accused of being a KKK bigot! People at Obama rallies, meanwhile, wear obscene tee shirts reviling Palin and consider themselves within their rights to do so. The Democratic Underground 's latest thread asks commentators to come up with nicknames and postersto slime Palin and then to "spread them all ove the net". A photographer takes pictures of Senator McCain and then smears red on his mouth making him look like a vampire, all in the name of "art" of course. I have read so many mean-spirited, vile epithets thrown at the Republican candidates in the past two months that I do feel like fighting back, but I will fight with letters to the editor, comments on blogs, and at the ballot box. The crazy Democrat loonies have debased this country with their filthy lies, and then blame the Republicans for the sewer we now find this country in. It's a disgrace!
I guess she couldn't stay away from Bryce's BIG backyard...
