Palin: Obama dissed Clinton, women

How old is Obama's daughters? 7 and 10. So I doubt they even know who Hilary Clinton is let alone what she did to be inspired.

Yeah, he should have let her win, like a gentleman. Chicks love that.

While the kind of women voters behind Clinton are not likely to switch to Palin, there's alot of truth about how Palin described Clinton never getting the promotion - that Clinton has all the qualifications (in fact, much more than Obama can dream of), and the accomplishments. But somehow, it's just not good enough, and she's passed over the promotion/nomination by the Dem establishment and main media. Somehow, it's all too easy to dismiss an accomplished candidate as Clinton as just another ambitious bitch.

I don't think I'll ever get over that. While I'm not ready to embrace GOP with open arms, I'll sit it over and withhold my votes to Obama in Nov. The other thing I'll do in Nov is to vote Pelosi out of office. I can't believe how incompetent and non-inclusive she is, albeit being another historic first as female Speaker of the House. Such is the danger of voting for "history" (of putting Pelosi there, much as the attempt of putting Obama in WH), rather than voting for someone who's ready for the job.

Sarah Palin, when serving as the mayor of Wasilla, AK, decided she wanted a book removed from the shelves of the local library. The librarian (a woman) refused. Palin fired her. Much of the community was incensed. The librarian got her job back. .... Not sure what happened to the book.... Sarah has a habit of misusing her power and I am one woman who will NOT be voting for her on Nov 4th!

I don't like the thought of Hillary Clinton's name even coming across Sarah Palin's lips because she isn't fit to utter the words. Sarah Palin will set the female gender and the respect and rights we've fought so hard to obtain back at least a hundred years with her rediculous comments and behavior. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have obviously made their peace. I love the idea of a woman in the White house but I would rather it be another fifty years before I'd see someone like her squeeze in because of a bad decision made by John McCain. I can hardly wait until the election is over and I don't have to hear that whiny, grating voice again.

Eeek! This Ms. Palin is very scary! Is it halloween already?

Just bcz sarah is women one should not vote. She is so dumb. whats wrong with people being in 21st century people are still getting carried away with her. I am an immigrant if I were a citizen I would definately voted for Obama the reason is he is knowleagable and not to manipulate things but knows how to handle things.

"Sarah Palin is despicable. McSame is worse. "...

I have to disagree on this one. This latest chapter in McCain's story is nothing but sad to me. This "lying, angry old guy" face is well beneath everything he has ever stood for. If he "didn't walk away with his honor" from the Keating scandal, what on earth will he call this candidacy? Palin walks like a duck and quacks like one. A squirmy, self-serving little manipulator is her nature. John has lost himself in the machine.

The video of this is fascinating -- for what isn't in this story. The women with Palin and supporting her were from organizations such as NOW and even a Democratic platform committee member who has come over to McCain/Palin.

Not what many would expect to see, support for Palin from NOW -- but it shows how much more inclusive and complex is the women's movement than the standard liberal slant in reporting from it or on it suggests.

Let's let Joe the Plumber and Mr. Six Pack tell us just what Palin's "qualifications" are.

BTW, does she realize she never would have been chosen by McCain IF Hillary had been on the Obama ticket. Is Palin really that clueless?

And another thing, I was a Hillary supporter in the primary. I have GOTTEN over it and have put my country first in supporting Obama. Get real, folks, it's NOT about hurt feelings!

any person who votes for obama/biden will find the whole country in DEEP doodoo with 9 months after inauguration day in january. obama is inexperienced and a rascist biden is just a fool!

Palin, you are such a waste of space.

You break the Alaskan law.
You don't even know what the vice-president does. A vice-president does not control the senate you waste of space.

And all the women who are supporting palin, he is a man in a woman's body.

Example, she does things that negatively affect women

Obama wrote a book titled "Dreams From My Father". His father abandoned him when he was two yrs. old. Why did he not title his book "Dreams From My Mother" or "Dreams From My White Grandmother" who raised him and paid for his expensive education in Hawaii? Does this "Sweetie" not appreciate the women who did raise him? He also made a awful statement about his white grandmother being a racist, the one who is now ill in Hawaii.

Palin has no clue. She is the last woman (person) on this planet that I want to represent me in anything. The fact that she is totally against a woman's right to decide what she wants to do with her body says it all. Pitiful Palin is a joke in my mind. Therefore Obama/Biden get my vote.

#19, your use of the obama's whole name pretty much makes it clear that you were never a clinton supporter just an internet rabble rouser. any intelligent clinton supporter knows full well that obama and clinton were far more alike than different. the idea that women will vote for a candidate who has a woman on the ticket is basically the republicans calling all women too stupid to see through that ridiculousness. if that isnt the essence of gender based sexism i dont know what is.

how ironic that this woman calls obama out for giving women lip sevice when her whole role in her campaign is lip service. she hasnt said anything meaningful, intelligent, or well thought out during her entire campaign. to me, bringing on a woman to your ticket in a blatant pandering to the female vote and then reducing that person to simply being the attack dog is the real playing of lip service. sadly palin seems to relish her role as the one who will say anything. that in and of itself indicates that she is not in possession of a high level of intelligence. she isnt stupid, just no rhodes scholar.

Just in response to Amy who posted:

"As a woman, I feel that Obama did the right thing in picking Sen. Biden as his running mate. This choice brought to the table a VP nominee that has extensive experience in foreign policy and someone who will say what's on his mind, no matter if it's agreeabl to Obama's viewpoint.

Clinton did break a lot of barriers for women, but she would not have been the best VP choice for America."

Clinton would've been the best choice for president, so why exactly isn't she the best VP pick?

If we're so concerned about the VP being ready to be president, 18 million votes says a lot ... no?

Sarah Palin needs to disapear from America. She is a cancer to everything American. All she does is run her unqualified mouth, lie, and then smile to make people like her. Can't wait to send her back to Alaska on Nov. 4!

I supported Hillary..Now support MCCain
I am a Small Business Owner,I have more Execuative experience than Obama

Sarah Palin has a place in the Republican party, but it's not as second in line to the highest office in the land. At best, she would be a marvelous party spokesperson who reads scripted material to the press. As long as the words aren't too hard and no one expects her to know what they mean. Incidentally, does she have a degree? I stopped searching after the first six colleges she attended...

If Budweiser requires that their salespeople have a degree, we should expect at least that much from our VP candidate...

Would like to thank Amy from Ohio for so succinctly expressing my thoughts. I feel better knowing there are many others who feel that way. Living here in Alabama one tends to think that everyone is drinking the Kool-Aid John Land passes out with communion, or "Sarah is just like me," mentality pervades. Thanks.

The choice of PALIN was sexist! She was being used as a political stunt by being added to the ticket simply BECAUSE she is a woman! That is no better than being excluded because you are woman. Political stunt plain and simple by Mc Cain to try to "grab" women voters and stir up the race. She is a trophy, pure and simple, and ill-equiped to be VP. I have enough self resppect to vote for the best candidates, NOT vote for a woman because I am a woman. If anyone is a victim of Sexism it is Palin! She doesn't even get it!!!!
I am voting for Obama/McCain, they are the intelligent choice to take us forward, NOT back to the dark ages. The trick didn't work here, and likely not with many other intelligent women voters either.

Wow Dimitriy, I'm glad your only focus on who you'd vote for it based upon if or if not they have Ovaries.

Enjoy your government owned Uterus and your lack of healthcare and your jobless life.

Sarah Palin is going wolf hunting as soon as she loses the election for John McCain. Actually after he picked this donut out of the box of glazed frosties, he should have just thrown in the towel. This lady as hard as she tries, just can't get her foot out of her mouth. She still uses weird sentence structure, and just plain gets lost in a line. Her first dude needs to grab her up and head for New York, I think they could make a great broadway show out of her. Just don't give her a script, let her adlib and she will be a star.

"Well let me tell you a little story. My younger sister who attends MIIS in Monterey and taking foreign policy is voting for Obama. Another one of my sisters who happens to own a business, is voting for Obama. The last one is voting for Obama as well.

And well what can I can say about me and my brother. "

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008.

It appears that this blogger isn't the black sheep in the family, but in fact there is a whole herd of them.
Was you mother a drug addict?

Obama: Supported bailout of fat cat wall street bankers and their cronies in d.c. Supports enhanced government spying on American citizens in FISA, supports sending more troops to Afghanistan, supports military action in Pakistan.
McCain: ditto.
Bob Barr: No bailout. No spying on american citizens. No more costly war. No invasion of Pakistan.

Vote Demopublican! Vote Republicrat! Ye suckers.

Suckers

U

Suc

I find it funny that Palin should espouse women's rights when she opposes a woman's right to choose. And does she not realize that she was only chosen for political purposes (I don't see any other reason since she is pretty oblivious aboutyhe world and has no experience whatsoever)?
Gender, religious views, and names should not decide who to vote for. It should be the politician's views and what they would do for the nation. Frankly, Palin is merely diverting America from what really matters: how McCain and Obama plan to help America.

I feel sorry for this nation, which is full of money (economy) worshippers who no longer care about value or moral, the foundation that made this nation stand out in the world. I came from a communist country. I can see many similarities between Communist Party and Democrat Party.

Next thing you know, they'll accuse Obama of being a white republican...What else is left?

Whether you are a Hillary supporter or not I would have to ask why hasn't Hillary Clinton spoken up about Palin? Right now she is allowing some Flighty Airhead use her name for her own gain. Palin don't care about those women. But I have to wonder why is Hillary allowing Palin to speak on her name in that manner and NOT address it. It is one thing to go on campaign trips and ask people to vote for Obama, but why allow the republicans to use her name like she is?

And McCain can't seem to get a theme of his own.
He uses Obama Change theme.
Now he is using Hillarys Rocky theme.

Poor guy.

Seriously, how anyone can take Palins serious but her hardcore base. She has taken no stand on women or any issue. She appeared on interview less than a handful of time. What a crock.

Sarcasm, lies, ethics violations.

Palin has no moral authority when she speaks. Who will ever take her seriously?

If she is an evangelical Christian, it's an even sadder situation. She does not exhibit the Fruit of the Spirit nor the countenance of Jesus Christ. There's something sad about her whole story.

Oh goody, another "Hussein" heckler and spiteful Clintonette- all in one tight little annoying package. It's good to see that vindictive housewife mentality in support of women's rights. Way to move forward!
Maybe Clinton wanted more power than a vice president would normally get and Barack wisely backed off. Anyone who doesn't think she plies tactics to ultimately win should read up on her history. Palin will make a fine surrogate for Clinton, as planned. Nothing could have been more sexist than picking Palin - or Clinton - because they are women. I suppose Jesus or Ghandi were fighting for men's rights...

Jesus, some of you are buying this? Obama didn't select a 'man', he selected a running mate. I am not voting for a 'woman' or a 'black man' I am voting for the candidate whom I believe will guide this country back from the ledge Bush has driven us onto.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE who is voting for either candidate because of race or sex, is at the best a racist and/ or a sexist, and frankly is just a bad person who lacks sound judgment skills.

Obama IS the best candidate between the two, and probably the best candidate we will see in most of our life times, he will help foster positive foreign relations, and positive domestic policy, even if it will cost a small percentage of us a few extra dollars on April 15th - what's more important, your pocket book or your children's and children's childrens future?

Sarah Palin WOO WOO - Hot for teacher! Hot for teacher! ... Hey wait a minute... what happened to my copy of 'Pastor, I'm Gay.' ...

As for me and my family, we will vote for either man or woman who has proven records of serving the country. And much more, WE WILL VOTE FOR THE WOUNDED VETERAN in this coming election. Love of country is not just making good poetry like speeches, etc. etc.

Keep flailing, GOP. It's fun to watch. Throw everything possible against the wall. Something might eventually stick.

(You know, they finally actually nailed someone for voter fraud. Unfortunately for McCain, it was a Republican.)

Obama/Biden 08
Get used to it.

Let's see....If McCain had an woman opponent in the Rep. primary who received 18 million votes .. and didn't choose her for his VP candidate - the media and the Democratic opposition would scream, yell, rave and rant about sexism. NOW would hang him in effigy. It's another perfect example of the blind, deaf and dumb partisanship of the Left and of their total lack of actual principles.

how about that sarah palin:what she forgot to mention-no abortion even in the case of rape and incest(sick) creationism to be taught in the public schools(scary)no sex education allowed in alaska public schools(see daughter for results) the right to invade and occupy a foreign country even when not attacked(see iraq for results)hillary is against all of the above!

"Our opponents think they have the women’s vote all locked up, which is a little presumptuous since only our side has a woman on the ticket,” she said

So she is calling Obama sexist as she spouts her view that women should vote Republican "only our side has a woman on the ticket"? Isn't that sexist?? How about voting for qualifications, abilities, ethics, and viewpoints?

The dems put a woman on the ticket long before the pubes did. Her name was Geraldine Ferraro, and at least she could think for herself. Now, the pubes are pimping out women for the vote...plain and simple....think like a ho...vote yes and you have arrived.

But the biggest joke is anything Palin, nice lady, but the "First Dude" runs that show. Clearly that is what the investigation into Troopergate so clearly illustrated.

I am a mother of one and my husband is currently serving in Iraq. I am a staunch Republican supporter however, first and foremost, I am an AMERICAN and I just can't stomach seeing Sarah Palin (and Todd Palin) running my beloved country if God forbid something should ever happen to John McCain. I am voting Obama-Biden to ensure America's place as world leader and for the future of my daughter as well.

I feel that Mrs. Palin is an insult to all great Anerican women in business, politics and home. Barbara Jordan, Kay B. Hutchinson,Madeline Allbright, Carly Fiorina , Hilary Clinton and on and on. We have such great women in America.
Mrs. Palin has put your candle on low. I hope we will have a woman in the white House soon. But please can we get an educated one like so many of you that have expresed your views.

Why does Gov.Palin have her young daughter at political rallies during the day when she should be in school?

Sarah Palin is very very intelligent. Long before the election day she has understood that McCain can not win. She has already started distancing herself from McCain!!! Something that McCain failed to do with BUSH.
So Folks she knows she knows that the "Conventional" and "Old" tactics can not an election. She the following Obama's footsteps in a republican "Cloak". So here is She positioning herself for the 2012 election. Go Sarah Palin
A Forward Republican

If only Palin were qualified to be VP. Also, did the Republicans choose a VP candidate due to how they did in the primary? This is moronic.

Obama is all lipservice, all around. Look at his record. While McCain was working in the Senate (not just voting present) Obama was writing his memoirs. What arrogance. He has no record. What he says he'll do, isn't necessarily what he will do. I trust McCain.

Obama will never leave the white house.

This isn't a case of a woman being passed over for a man with the same qualifications. Biden has a superior resume and superior experience. He is well recognized on both sides of the aisle for his expertise in foreign policy, something that Obama, although plenty knowledgeable and smart, was perceived to need assistance with. Biden shored up Obama's perceived weaknesses better than Clinton did. In addition, picking Clinton would have risked motivating and uniting Republicans, who although not very enthralled with McCain, have had it in for Clinton for years. Palin is simply a vile, nasty, divisive person who will say anything to divide the country in hopes of getting elected. Had Clinton been on the ticket, Palin would be smearing Clinton just like Palin smears everyone else. Rather than inspiring Americans to higher levels of thought, discourse, and being, she appeals to the most base aspects of humanity and the American psyche.

"When it came time for choosing a vice president, somehow Barack Obama just couldn't bring himself to pick a woman who got 18 million votes in the primary." And how many primary votes did Sarah Palin garner to put her in contention for the Republican VP spot ? More than Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, I woulld hope, since John McCain is so high-minded in his judgement !!

I love how every time a Repulican has a valid point, a democrat jumps down their throat with insults. The Democrats are ten times more vicious as the Republicans. Look at some of the coverage of the Den Rally where tons of them were screaming F Fox News, and got scarry ugly. And anyone that say Obama hasn't been smearing Palin and running negative adds is blind, deaf and dumb.

Clinton is more powerful in Congress. Hillary gets that. Hillary is an amazing human being. Sarah's comment do a great disservice to Hillary and the many accomplished women government leaders. Her credentials don't come close to theirs - in either party.
Does Sarah understand the three branches of government and the hierarchy of power? Is she really that naive or is it she didn't take that history course at any of the 6 colleges she attended?

I plan to vote for the person who reminds me most of JFK. Yes, I will vote for someone who has actually finished at least one term as a US senator, served in the House and was a Naval War Hero.

Yes, I will vote, have already voted early ,for John McCain.

Maybe in 20 years, if he works hard, Obama might be ready, but not now.

Those saying Gov. Palin isn't ready, PUHLEASE! She is currently commander in chief of the Alaska Air and Army guard.

And Obama is really nothing....except someone who reminds me of Harold Hill(check "the music man")

I want a President with values that 70%of Americans have. Christian rather than Muslim. I simply want a President/Commander-in-Chief that will salute our flag,wear the American flag lapel pin, proudly, and leave the National anthem alone. I would like to see a President with the same basic ideals, that built this country and made it the very best. We need tax breaks that will promote free private enterprise and not tax it out of existance. If OHB would do these things, like a progressive American, I would vote for him.

previous post by a woman--obomo tells how wonderful it's going to be and YOU LOVE IT. isn't that how you got pregnant. you broads are so gullible. remember all those times you got laid by different guys-everything was going to be so wonderful.
obom is a jive talker. you people are just to ****** to see the the bs.

First off, nice post Amy from Ohio, and the rest of the intellectuals who replied to this story. From the view of: a female who grew up in a conservative household (now turned Democrat), who has a brother in the military, who is a first generation American-born citizen, who is a college student who works more hours than Sarah Palin's husband and on top of that someone who is specializing in the field of Political Science and Public Policy, I am in complete disbelief that this is what American Politics has come down to. This VP candidate has made of fool of herself, and a mockery of the American election process. By concentrating on the criticism that Senator Obama did not choose Senator Clinton as his running mate because of sex, the Alaskan Governor has widened the gaps in this society. You republicans will call me outrageous for saying this, but someone needs to by now: Sarah Palin has done exactly what "terrorists" try to do to this country: divide the people, and turn them against each other. Do we ever hear from Obama and Biden that Palin and Mccain are terrorists/sexists/socialists or otherwise? No. Because they have tact. Something Palin couldn't even describe to second-graders (just as she couldn't describe the duties of the VP). So for all the republicans out there who support Palin's comments, do us all a favor and come up with a logical reason to vote for her as the VP. At this point, A VP vote for Palin is like a vote for an uninformed, and incapable person, who just needs attention from the gullible masses. Oh, and if you are basing your decision for this election on Obama's middle name, you might want to do some research about Palin's husband joining an organization which believes that Alaska should succeed from our great country. An organization in which members shout things such as "I will not be burried under the American Flag!"

"qualifications were there, but for some reason the promotion never comes"
that excuse's name is Bill Clinton - as good a President he was, he can't be put in the White House again.

Sarah Palin is a very scary individual who thinks nothing of drumming up the uneducated crowd with her cute mannerisms and shallow 8th grade gossip girl antics that let those REAL Americans know that they are on her side, the all-knowing and RIGHT side of America. She has no business trying to run for VP of this country with her lack of intelligible understanding of such an undertaking as VP. I am scared to death that the people who think she's cute and is a woman who is shattering glass ceilings (of about 5 feet in height) could vote her in. We have survived 8 years of the hilarious and very sad bushism-creating machine but I don't know how we can survive another 4 years containing daily palinisms of garbled doo doo.

Like her running mate Sarah Palin is revealing how stupid the Republicans believe the voters to be. She is exhorts them to vote for her because she is a woman, and apparently no other reason is needed. Don't get me wrong, being a woman is an admirable trait. However, it is shared by 200 million Americans, so how does it make her anything more than 1 out of 200 million possible candidates? In what other ways might she be eligible? She is saying "vote for me because Obama is not a woman" . Just like McCain is down to "Vote for me because Obama's middle name is Hussein." I would like to see them point to some quality about themselves as a reason to vote for them, but they evidently haven't been able to come up with anything. Unless it is "Vote for me because I share your hate." There are voters ignorant enough to follow these exhortations, and they are showing up in force at the Republican rallies. ( I see there are even a few on this message board). Fortuantely for America there are not nearly enough of them to put even a dent in the forthcoming Obama landslide.

for you who do not know. troupergate x tazered his kid with 50,000 volts.
plus other things he did.
i guess that means obomo is for tazering your kids. reason i say that is there sure is a lot of liberal press because sarah thought him unfit!! trying to paint her as a bad person.
if this is the usual dishonest liberal press you probably won't publish this
casey purvis

Obama didn't pick Hillary Clinton because the primaries had been to hard fought and picking her would not have been viewed as him choosing her but him being too weak to not choose her. McCain picked Palin because his campaign feels this country is too stupid to realize it is a potronizing stunt. Sarah Palin may be smart, but she is not smart enough to be vice president. Anybody remember Dan Quale? If Palin became President she wouldn't be in charge, she would be a figurehead just like George Bush.

For Palin - "The promotion was there, but for some reason the qualifications never comes. There will be some long explanation ... some forseen barrier, someone will explain to the republican party soon why Palin was picked. McCain will be some excuses."

Dmitriy. How would it feel if I call you Dmitriy Adolf Hitler??? i'm not going to do it though because i'm civilized.

Hillary is tremendous. She has a great legislative career ahead of her and already has made her place in history (wouldn't be surprised to see her in the White House some day, too). Obama is a very competent administrator, eloquent speaker, and a fine man. Did he diss Clinton? Yes. Is that enough reason for me to vote Palin? No

I'm voting Palin because she's turning feminism on it's head. She is winks and lipstick and sass. She totes her kids around the country with her instead of hiding them out discretely somewhere with a nanny. She's smart, she's strong, she's eloquent. She lives her beliefs. She can lead the country toward a better future. If my one vote can help to the Vice-Presidency, she's got it.

when the hone rings at2:00 am in the morning who do want to answer.Senator Biden or Governor Sarah Palin who can see Alaska from her yard?
Real up on foreign policy....................

Obama did pick up support from another group
The american communist party
first time in history they supported an american president
Check out their web site

Palin is a pale comparison to Hillary. She is trying to assume a mantle that does not fit her and belongs to Hillary. If Hillary is feeling dissed, then we should hear from her. Palin does not speak for Hillary, the last I looked.

That anyone pays attention to what "Dubya in a Dress" says is rather amusing. Not sure why so many in this country embrace ignorance... didn't we learn that it didn't work for the last 8 years? Guess not. Posted by Peter October 21, 08 08:06 PM

Yeah, the Republican version of no child left behind is to leave them all at the starting gate - that's democracy, it makes 'em equally stupid.

I don't understand how an unbiased woman could look at Sarah Palin's stance on any issues related to womens' rights and say that she is a candidate who respects womens' values and choices. She doesn't seem to live in the modern world.

If she and McCain do win this election, God help us all - men and women alike. Hilary would have been a great president but I couldn't see her and Obama on the same ticket - no matter who won the nomination. I hope she runs again down the road, but in this election, Obama/Biden is the only sane choice.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton , Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony, and all the other women That fought for womens rights, you must believe that Sarah blink and wink Palin is not The end result of your struggles. Our country has produced lots of intelligent smart women. If sarah Palin is truly the choice of the Republican party, It tells me what the party thinks about women.

Sarah Palin put corrupt Republicans and Democrats in jail in Alaska. I knew that when she burst onto the national stage all of the same old lowlifes would tear into her and they have. They are terrified that she will get elected and believe me it's not because of her stance on abortion or her alleged lack of knowledge. It's because of the certain knowledge that she will clean up that swamp we call Washington, D.C. and all of the multimillionaire politicians who have had their hands in our pockets for decades are frightened of her. The scum in Alaska actually had t-shirts and hats made on which they proudly proclaimed that they were corrupt (I'm totally serious). And she came in like Mr. Clean and whipped their butts.

What I see when I see articles suggesting obscure charges against Palin are friends of the Obama campaign (what used to be America’s free press) helping him to run what is by far the most dishonest presidential campaign in my lifetime.

Oh, puh-leeze. A far-right Republican ticket trying to play the "feminism" card is as preposterous-looking as Steven Hawking applying for the Olympic gymnastic team.

I have to agree with Amy from Ohio in comment 12 where she said "As a woman, I feel that Obama did the right thing in picking Sen. Biden as his running mate." Obama needs Joe Biden because he doesn't know enough about foreign policy without him. Not that Biden's record is that great. But as a woman, I'm not expected to understand foreign policy, so I need a father figure and so does my candidate.

The wool is being pulled over everybodys eyes
Obama is electable but will be controlled by the DNC
Hillary has a mind of her own and will do what she think is best not what the DNC wants.All of the five years he has been in office he has not done anything beside campaign. He did not writ any bills, co written any bills, or cross party lines to cosponser any bills. Hillary has
Hell Hillary did more the first year as bills wife when he was Att genenal of Arkansas then obama did his whole political life.
We let the DNC cancelled our vote and voices.

I think she is doing exactly what the VP is supposed to do. Attack the presidential candidate. People get so viral about it because they are not used to a woman playing politics in a male world. They try and smack her around but the reality is she is doing her part for her party to win. Now whether it is enough or not, we will see in two weeks. The comments that you see following any article on her on any website are really beyond what any other candidate would get. Just makes me want to support them...

How can Obama not like women? He is a Dem - like Bill Clinton, Edwards, Mahoney, Gary Hart - great group

The closer we get to November 4th, the happier I am. Why? Because when I first starting reading comments after the articles it was a faily even split between rather rude backers of mccain/palin, and backers for Obama/ Biden (not all polite) but most were well informed.
now I look at how many speak of mccain and one thing is for sure, lol
not so many people backing mccain are showing up in the comment section.

Voted for Obama and it feels good!

Please Governor Palin, put down your scipts and have a legitimate news conference......Oops, I forgot....you're not allowed

Keep it up Pit Bull! You keep driving up the Obama vote, the huge small donations and the volunteer spirit sets records every day. You deserve to lose like this. Can't wait to watch you get grilled by both sides of the Alaska legislature when you slither back to Alaska.

Sarah Palin is the worst, most egregious example of affirmative action in the public eye today. As a woman, it disturbs me to see anyone interested in women's rights "energized" by her candidacy.

Palin was picked for her gender, not her abilities -- that single fact should offend every woman in America.

Hmm okay. We have a bright, outgoing, energetic Sarah Palin. We have a Veteran, War Hero, and respected State Leader. And then we have a hopeful that has 143 days logged in the Congress, talks the talk, and has the worst economic plan of the two choices. I think this country comes first and Mr. Obama can't decide if he's a Christ follower or a Islamic follower. McCain changes his economic plan every now and then and Palin lacks experience just like Obama. I am doing the simple math here and I am voting Conservative with change. You will just have to guess what that really means. First 4 years of Bush good, last 4 not so good. Yay for change period!

rpyon21 Turn off MSNBC and google the Hannity interview transcript where you can actually get her answers on the issues.
Starwind - be more specific. I could infer your special needs but I don't know that for a fact.
Don't forget to vote - fear mongering is CNN who has done stories implying people should empty their banks accounts, buy groceries with half, and put the rest under the mattress
repugnanthurter - google Walter Williams and read some of his columns, I think you might enjoy them (don't read too many at one time though).

i guess now is the time where we all move on and quietly start feeling sorry for her instead just uncomfortable? or give it another week?! is there anybody around her that can gently explain her situation? with so much political packets of talent and patriotism soon she would be playing the flute on some alaskan oil fundraiser (again). cant wait for the youtube video. imagine that.

it's really sad. she would never be able to forget the last few months. ever.... but i'll try. very hard, my friends.....

it's about time somebody asks her the following question: Madam Governor, recent polls have show that 1/5 of americans can't locate US on a world map. why do you think this is?
of course we all know the answer. better start practicing. Madam Governor.

Comment: Here's an example of "democratic" financial responsibility:

WHO screwed up Social Security??

When Social Security began the "democrats" SAID:

Participation would be VOLUNTARY.

The contributions would be TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

The funds wouldn't be used for anything ELSE, and

interest would ADD to the account.

The payouts would NEVER BE TAXED.

LBJ & demo majorities in the House and Senate put the

funds in the General Fund so they could use it for

their pet projects (PORK), no interest adds to the

fund now!

CARTER & demo majorities in the House and Senate

gave Social Security to immigrants who had never

PAID IN!

CLINTON & demo majorities in the House and Senate

made the CONTRIBUTIONS taxable, AND made the

PAYOUTS taxable! (Al Gore cast the deciding vote on

the payouts!)

OBAMA wants to GIVE Social Security to the 11 million

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that are here, ALONG WITH

Medicare! (Think more of them will come then to get

in on THAT?) AND, with demo majorities in the House

and Senate, he'll SUCCEED!

AND, after all THAT, the "democrats" have the GALL to

blame Republicans for the mess Social Security is in!

To skmj: As a Democrat, it is not exciting to me that the Dem. party nominated a woman first, way, way, way back 24 years ago. It isn't something to celebrate that it has been done once, along time ago. I will be holding my nose and voting Obama because I don't agree with McCain. But I am HIGHLY IMPRESSED with McCain for his courageous choice to actually break the glass ceiling. While we may not agree, we can celebrate achievements. The GOP is making major inroads with white women in this election, and fortunately there are enough Latinas and African-American women voting Democrat. But this doesn't bode well in the long run as white women defect to the GOP. Obama messed up with his VP pick.

Dmitriy, you are as sad as Palin. Anyone who was a Clinton supporter but tries to promote fear based on a name never understood Hillary in the first place. You were always a SP lady--a woman of poor discernment and lack of understanding of competence.

McCain doesn't respect women, or he wouldn't have chosen Palin as a running mate. As a woman, I find it offensive that McCain sought gender as the main qualification of his choice. Did he actually think women would be stupid enough to support Palin solely because she's female? There are a lot of qualified women in politics, yet he seemed to go out of his way to find one that was unqualified, undignified, and unconscionable. She's a serious embarrassment.

Haha, some of you people need to use a larger portion of the brain "God" graciously gave you. THE REASON HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT THE RUNNING MATE OF BARACK OBAMA IS BECAUSE HILLARY DOES NOT COMPLEMENT HIM. A running mate needs to have what the presidential nominee does not, and that goes beyond sex organs. He lacked experience and foreign policy experience. Joe Biden is a six term senator with a ton of foreign policy experience. Hillary is not. Obama made the right choice, and for anyone who is switching to Sarah Palin from Hillary Clinton just because of her being female aught to look at her policies toward women.

Sarah Palin definitely wins on one account... for making true the stereotype that women are manipulative. She'd win my vote as Miss America the Manipulator. John McCain put the nail in the coffin for his presidential promise when he chose her. Maybe he should've chosen Hillary instead..

Ha!!!! Palin allows rape victims to be billed for their own rape kits during police investigations of the crime and she want to talk about anyone else snubbing women???

What a joke!

Obama-Biden are more respectful of women and American citizens across the board than she or McCain by a longshot. I've had it with her. Too many lies and un reasonable positions and lack of drive toward consensus.

Anyone who thinks McCain and palin are capable of leading this country out of the deadly hole it's heading into needs to look at the faces of their children and realize that they are the ones who will suffer from your grave error.
Obama/Biden! The change we NEED.

Thank God for Sarah Palin. OOPS! Is it OK to say God in this politically insane (I mean correct) world? By the way. to refer to Hillary Clinton as a women is a bit of a stretch.. Look closer! Welcome to the "Sisterhood". I will take a "Bimbo" like Palin over a mobbed-up Mental case like Geraldine Ferraro any day. She set the womens' movement back at least FIFTY YEARS! I wonder if Obama would be receiving all this "love" if he weren't Black. I know! I know! It's politically incorrect to bring this up. And "mean spirited", and "hatefull!!" and "bigoted!!", and what ever other words the P.C. police have on their hit list.
Everyone take a chill pill. We all know the election is a mere formality at this point, and we are going to wind up with a president who probably will turn out to be a "sleeper" agent waiting for instructions from his controllers. As a Jew, I just can't understand the love affair my Brethren are having with this guy. Are we so brainwashed by the left that we can't see the forest from the trees? Look closer, my friends! LOOK CLOSER

The republicans have become the party of irrational slogans and silly attacks. Muslim, socialist, sexist--what's next?
Joe the Plumber who is unlicensed and already behind on his taxes. Do you want an unlicensed plumber working on your plumbing? Republican hero- yea, right.
Funny to hear Palin talk about a "qualified woman" when Palin has no worthwhile formal education. Six years at six different colleges and ended up with nothing but a four-year degree. She still hasn't released her transcripts but do we really need to see them. She has displayed her intellect or lack thereof several times over the past two months. I'll certainly use my vote to help make Palin and McCain go away.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would have been the best choice for Vice President, even Joe Biden admitted that. But Obama, thought he didn't need her or her voters - that ht could do it all by himself. Look what is happening now. He has asked for Senator Clinton's help in geting voters to vote for him. Of course, like always, she is at the ready to help help him. It is her classy style once again - to help others. Obama, the change candidate, could not bring himself to appoint a woman as vice president - his ego is way too big. Most of us who support Senator Clinton will vote republican, put up with John McCain for 4 years and then vote Senator Clinton to President Clinton in 2012. You could have had it all Obama but you blew it big time. Hillary in 2012.......

Dmitriy:

How can you call yourself a Clinton supporter and now be supportive of Sarah Palin? The only thing in common between those two women is their anatomy. Sarah Palin's views make most Hillary-supporters sick. The only thing that Sarah Palin has that Hillary doesn't, is that she's more attractive. As a female, I would love to see a woman in the White House. However, I respect and fully support Obama's choice of Biden as his running mate. Biden brings the experience that Clinton lacks, and as a result, choosing Biden makes his candicacy all the stronger.

You are correct this story does not belong in a section call "Political Intelligence"... Actually most of the Boston Globe political reporting is strange… Why aren’t we scrutinizing the top of the Democratic ticket the way most of the media is scrutinizing Gov. Palin? I want to know more about Mr. Obama. His voting record is all over the place ("Vote Present"). Before you vote please do some research. I am beginning to think that most people vote with the media – that’s not good. Find the source and read… I’m not sure we can rely on the Globe and Times anymore. Sorry reporters you’ve sold out.

Sarah Palin just spent $150,000 at Neiman Marcus and SAKS for some new duds for herself and the hubby. Taxpayer money, folks. $4,700 for her hair!!!!!

I mean, her hair looks exactly like it did 6 months ago.

Obama has been a spokemans for womens issues longer than anyone. Equal pay for equal work, more time off for childbirth and for ill children and he lobbied about abuse of women.

Some of Hillary's top strategists have been working with Obama for months now. Also Hillary's contributers have been helping the Obama/Biden ticket. Hillary has been campaigning not only for Obama/Biden ticket but for Demcocrats running for office around the country. Since the 2006 elections the Republicans as a minority in both the Senate and Congress have shown that they can block any major bills they want too. So common sense says that after the 2008 elections this government will still be divided it just the way the constitution was set up. So Hillary helping all the Democrats running for office helps. Hillary and Obama campaigning in Florida together had me checking out Sarah Silverman's video “The Great Schlep” :-D. Its great to see all the artists coming out in support for Obama when he really needed the help. Earlier during the Democratic primaries it was some of the first artists Bruce Springsteen, Robert De Niro and the "Yes we Can" musical video artists who were the first to come to Obama's defense when he really needed the help and they inspired us all. Hillary did all us Democrats proud. Go Obama/Biden '08

Palin's right. Obama is a sexist, as is his self-loathing party. My fingers are crossed that McCain will eke out a victory and we'll be able to put this dark election year behind us.

You people are liberal idiots, although, all liberals are idiots. Sarah Palin isn't running against Barack Obama. She is running against Joe Biden. Morons. Furthermore, Joe Biden defers to Obama's socialist (read: Marxist) policies regarding the economy when he's confronted with questions. At least Sarah Palin tries to think for herself. Liberals are so threatened by potent, strong, intelligent and beautiful women. Are you jealous of Sarah Palin?

First off, I want to say that I am a male who supported Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic march to become president. I voted for her in the primaries, and I would of loved to have voted for her in November.... but we all know thats not the case.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a remarkable person who has broken so many barriers, and defied so many odds in her lifetime. In saying that, I also admire Barack Obama- he is a true champion for the underdog and he is the man I will be voting for.....because he shares the values of my true canidate, Hillary Clinton.

Sarah Palin, in her own right, is a wonderful political figure. She too defied odds and broke barriers. But she is not- in any way- anything like Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin are like oil and water. They didnt fight for the same issues to get where they are at. And anybody who truly supported for Clinton will not endorse Palin's stances.

As for Obama passing over Clinton as VP- lets be real. I dont believe Hillary Clinton wanted to be Obama's VP. I think they talked that out that night after the primaries where he went to talk to her. Hillary Clinton has already played the second fiddle to a president- she doesnt want to do it again. Besides, Hillary and Obama know that she will be more powerful as a majority leader, or in another white house position.

Sarah Palin and the few GOP who keeps brining up the past primary fight needs to stop. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have healed.....lets remember, Hillary is a strong fighter- losing to Obama was only a tap- she is still ready for more.

Obama/Biden 08
