Palin In Pennsylvania: ''It's Great To See Another Part Of The Country"

The AP reports on McCain and Palin hitting the trail in Pennsylvania:

McCain and Palin made a morning stop at Tom's Diner in Pittsburgh's trendy Southside neighborhood. The running mates, with spouses in tow, greeted patrons and posed for pictures. Palin's daughters Willow and Piper were also on hand, with Willow carrying Palin's 4-month old son, Trig.

The first-term Alaska governor told reporters she was having fun in her new role. "It's great to see another part of the country," she said. She also said she'd managed to get a little sleep during the night.

Next...we're going to Didneylan' !!!

[langstonhughesfan]

LOL!!!!

[BWonka]

Bet she couldn't even find PA on the map.

Poor thing - so unqualfied, so used by McCain.

[JackieinCA]

Well, that IS it, isn't it. I do feel sorry for her being so badly used by McCain.

[HeIsTheOne]

Can she name the states and respective capitols? How many has she been to over her life, or even most recently, in preparation since she clearly knew she was being vetted by McSame?

Will her teenage daughters now be the "mommy" to her youngest child because of her career choice? That's not fair to her daughters or baby.

[miatch]

Can she name all 50 states? LOL

Republicans pride themselves on not knowing anything. If she knew more than 3 they'd call her an elitist and kick her out of church.

[HeIsTheOne]

Or make her a contestant on "Jeopardy" .

[kayfacefl]

Did she really say "it's great to see another part of the country" How much of the country has she seen? Has she ever been to washington, DC? Let alone foreign policy how much real domestic policy does she bring? I mean when was the last time Alaska had to worry about issues like our violence in our neighborhoods and in schools. This is more scary then I even first thought.

[Scarllatti]

McCain has just selected a VP for Alaska. Does Palin even know McCain comes from Arizona? I am salivating for the interesting debates ahead.

[water57]

I just wonder will she have time to bond with her special need 4 month old baby, because she will be on the campaign trail. Also, she will need time to study McCain's Iraq war policy, because she said, she does not know about his policy.

[LiberalCub]

McCain's Iraq war Policy = War War War War . I just summed it up for her.

[kayfacefl]

What policy? you mean his policy of "I will not surrender" or his policy of staying in Iraq for 100 years.

[oaddi]

Well at least he got someone who supports Barack energy policy. LOL

[decolonizeme]

Wait a minute! You can't criticize Palin -- don't you remember that John McCain was a POW?

[PAposter]

oops, my bad, lost my head for a minute :)

[Scarllatti]

That was even BEFORE Palin was born.

[LiberalCub]

For 5 1/2 years he was not able to look at or speak to a woman.

[cassidynj]

Do we need the National Inquirer to take the lead again?

[Mirri]

Brava!! She wore a pink suit. I loved it. I am voting for Sarah Palin, just to show those who dismissed Hillary what sexist fools they were. I'm voting for a suit, a pink suit. I can see why everyone here is so upset today and yesterday. Now Obama/Biden looks Old/Boring.

[ContraEgoiste]

ahh yes, the "adult", "well though out" descision, the pink suit. Please do jump sweetie. We rather keep the intelligent ones in our party. Culling of the herd if you will.

[PAposter]

Nothing like a good old American idiot.

[Scarllatti]

Especially once with the brains of a newt.

[miatch]

no one old enough to vote could possibly have written this sincerely.

[AdLib]

Just imagine though, 0bama in a pink suit! He'd win by a landslide!

[Scarllatti]

Go find your self a man. If you can't pay for one.

[booksnmore4you]

McCain has not picked a veep.

He has picked a glorified intern who will sit at his feet and learn from the master of foreign policy.

He has picked a surrogate first lady because Cindy has less to offer than Palin.

[Jon Raymond - Huffpost Blogger]

Neither one of them would run the country anyway.

[naschkatze]

I don't know much about Iraq, but don't worry. Should I become president, the big oil companies will tell me what to do.

[HeIsTheOne]

"Neither one of them (Cindy or Sarah) would run the country anyway."

Really? With McSame's medical history?

Between his cancer issues and age, she really is one heart beat away from being POTUS.

[miatch]

isn't the term Trophy Veep?

[ContraEgoiste]

It is not a pick of political accumen (obviously!), it's a pick of psychological impact, of pandering and manipulating the electorate while throwing a monkey wrench at the opponent. This is Rove's forte, his immoral brilliance if you will, and the new GOP political way of conducting bussiness. I wouldn't be surprise if he is behind this.

In the end tho, this may be just as effective as his PUMA campaign. Which is to say none at all.

[Michael5790]

Anybody got a banjo?

Come and listen to a story about a man named John
Who hung around too much with those damn neo-cons,
Then one day he was lookin’ for his comb,
And got to wonderin’ “just how many homes”?
Houses, that is. . mansions . . . big cribs.

Well the first thing you know ole’ John's a candidate,
Karl Rove said "John, get yourself some bait!"
He said "Alaska is the place you ought to look"
Look at Bush One, a face is all it took.
Quayle, that is . . . Deer . . . headlights.

Well now its time to say goodbye to John and all his kin.
And Cindy’d like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

You media, that is. . . set a spell . . .take your shoes off. . . Write a nice story.

[marymansour]

Saw Obama and Biden blow them out of the water today. Will close on that note for the evening.

Obama/Biden in the White House 2009!

[booksnmore4you]

I'm a U.S. citizen, have lived in several U.S. states, 6 other nations, and for 3.5 years in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).

Most particularly from my experiences living in the CNMI, I understand a great deal about deep seated problems that develop in people in isolation. Palin is clearly exhibiting these problems already.

[americanwomaninpa]

booksmore4you
You seem to exhibiting a few problems yourself. Get over yourself.

[eva belle]

As Bill would say, give me a break..this is one big fairy tale..rofl

[renatam]

Bill would be asking her for a date.

[BWonka]

Did you see McCain staring at her @$$ yesterday? Guess hers must be better than Mitt's or Pawlenty's.

[LiberalCub]

LMAO!!!!!!!

[CabaretArtist]

I'm telling you the blogs are burning up with the gossip about this woman. The one thread regardless of spin, is the total lack of qualifications for this gal. Even the talking heads on the right wing side (think Laura Ingram) have to take a breath in between lies when they go to talk about her "credentials". PEACE ON THE PLANET

[eva belle]

Absolutely...yup, yup! This is a mahoosive gaffe of immense proportions..
