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.

Bugs Bunny for Attorney General!

Maybe Sarah and Cindy could share each other clothes and do each others hair.

[lornejl]

Wouldn't that be cute ? Maybe they could have a sleepover and get into a pillow fight too !

[LiberalCub]

McCain would love that.

[Whatashame]

Barack should keep focusing on the issues because Mccain is too inept to do that. He thinks by choosing a woman that he willl automatically win because all woman will vote for him because he choose someone with a PU**SY like mine. Give me a Freaking break.

[liberation4life]

I agree with you...but..oi..you really sound pizzed!!

[Whatashame]

You got that right. Am so mad that am foaming at the mouth. How dare he insults my intelligent.

[criquet]

CNN has a post up that Palin was booed at an event today when she mentioned Hillary Clinton.
So much for that plan

[renatam]

Good. Even Evangelicals have some standards...and expect something ORIGINAL...not plagerism.

[liberation4life]

Link it please!!

[Whatashame]

They should've thrown eggs at her.

[SherryIndianapolis]

Priceless.

Not what? ROFLSM!!!

[Mirri]

No, they booed Hillary. They loved Palin. And yet, I am a Hillary supporter, and will vote for Palin. I loved her pink suit. Glad I can vote Pink this year.

[miatch]

Name a policy issue that both Clinton and Palin agree on.

[BWonka]

No Hillary supporter would ever tell Hillary everything you stood for, everything you worked for, everything you hoped for is crap by voting for such an unfit VP nominee - not to mention the complete idjit at the top of their losing ticket.

[neenj]

I don't believe you. You are NOT a Hillary supporter, more like a GOP plant. If you were, you would have listened to her for call for unity during her convention speech when she asked her supporters: "why were you in this?"

Even if I were to believe that you did vote for Hillary, I believe you did so because you were really voting against Obama. That does not make you a true Democrat, and please no need to keep updating us with you plan on voting for McCain.

Go in peace, I wish you well.

[liberaldiva]

Why on earth would you vote for a woman who is the political opposite of Hillary? Is it because she has a vajayjay like Hillary? Hillary and Obama's policies/positions were virtually identical. Any logical Hillary supporter would vote for Obama, which leads me to conclude that you were never a Hillary supporter or you're illogical or both.

[Obama4Life]

Man I feel embarrassed for her...

[ContraEgoiste]

Here is a thought.

Unless they start to drill her, and get as much info as they can into her head, Biden is going to tear her apart at any debate. She may not have to win the debate (VP debates are not weighted as much), but she can not come out as a total air head either, or it will doom McSame.

Will she be able to "crash course" and campaign at the same time?

Then again, they can do the radio transmitter thingy they did with bush again. Something to keep your eyes open for.

[miatch]

Biden wont attack her at all. He will go after McCain and Bush. I bet he doesn't even mention her name.

[rageagainstmachine]

Exactly. Axelrod probably has a powerpoint training session prepared for Biden. He can't come across as a bully or condescending. Simply address the issues. Let the moderators (hopefully Gibson and George Steph. have been permanently fired!) ask the tough questions and let Palin's answers hang out there in the air.

I agree with you... I don't think he will mention her name..

[Kaos911]

18 million people selected Obama versus 1 person who selected her after meeting her ONCE...last year.

[JustSpeakingMyPeace]

It as earlier this year...which makes it even worse!!!

[Raymondf]

Republican convention is going to be postponed for at least 4 days, so McCain and Palin can go to The Gulf coast.

[ContraEgoiste]

May not be such a good idea, since it will give the Democratic party and the media additional time to vette her. Any damaging information uncovered during this time would detract from the RNC convention. Especially when he re-introduves her, this questions/issues will be hanging there.

[liberation4life]

I can just picture her reaction when she goes to Russia, sits down opposite Putin and actually sees the devil in his eyes..I mean that would be priceless.

[SaintZak]

Where are the big name Republicans? Silence. I've seen nothing from anyone.

I predict the Republicans will cut off McCain, throw in the towel and hope for better luck in 2012.

[Whatashame]

I noticed that Palenky was speaking to Wolf Blitzer CNN yesterday and he looked Pissed trying to defend this woman. Am waiting for Romney to start explaining her qualifications. I guess all the republicans are busy googling her to see what they can find out because no one knows anything about her.

[LiberalCub]

The only Republicans that support this are the Evangelicals....Dobson, yadda yadda yadda. McCain will be thrown out of the party come November.

[renatam]

Republicans need to REBUILD their entire Party -- as Democrats had to do to get away from Clinton Inc. When their litmus tests reduce them to the standards of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, something needs to be done.

Kay Bailey Hutchin and Lindsey Graham looked in pain during immediate interviews yesterday.

As a Democrat from NYC, we vote for "Rockefeller Repubs" all the time - IF they are qualified. We don't vote ideology. The rest of the Nation needs to do the same.

Obama/Biden!

[PAposter]

She hasn't seen the United States, but she's ready for International Relations, give me a f*cking break.

[renatam]

Seems they could at least make a job requirement to go on a few class trips in school.

[joeyp404]

Maybe O can tell her about lastminutetravel.com.

[PAposter]

Let's see how many leaders will meet with her. Obama has been well known throughout the world for at least a year and a half. That's why he can draw 100K in Europe. McCain/Palin can't even draw a crowd in Pennsylvania.

[LiberalCub]

I'm sure she's seen Russia though. All she needs to do is look over the Atlantic.

[Evelyn]

Pacific, whatever.

[AddictedToHope]

That would be a LOOOONNNNGGG look. Probably better to look a bit west across the Bering Sea.

[despike]

Somebody should ask her if she has ever been to NYC or DC.

[larryfishkorn]

Oh great. Another incurious Republican in the White House.

[renatam]

...and illiterate. She pronounces nuclear...nookelar...just like Bush.

[jeanrenoir]

More and more, this is like Jerzy Kozinski's Being There. Of course McCain's never heard of Being There himself, so he can't get the farce, nor could he anticipate it. If this woman isn't laughed off the public stage real fast, we are all in deep, deep trouble.

[Mirri]

Don't be dissing a woman again so fast. It'll cost you this election.

[londonrainbow]

I feel sorry for Palin. Bloggers like ourselves alone will destroy her.

[renatam]

She ASKED for it. She knows she should not have sought or been considered We could ALL do things for OIL MONEY...but, our self-respect, concern for our children having to witness and be exposed to ridicule -- and, mockery -- concern for our Nation AT WAR -- would never permit.

This is no different than any other occupation where someone SELLS themselves...and you know what I mean.

So be it. This is OUR future, not a personality contest. And, she should not hide behind her children.

[Obama4Life]

I blame McCain.
She probably doesn't even know any better. If someone walked up to you and gave you a shot at being vice president of the USA you would probably take it.

She was a former beauty queen and so was Cindy. I believe Cindy also had something to do with this, they are probably close friends.

This is total BS anyway you look at it. I just pray to God even harder now for Obama to win, because I'm pretty sure McCain will croak in office. I know McCain was stupid, but not this stupid.

This is dangerous incompetence on his part.

[Candace8383]

i do to BUT i would be more sorry for America if by off chance this person who hasn't a clue were to lead us in fact my pity goes out to the whole world where that the case

And since she is able to not believe in either evolution or global warming

( to be precise mankind's affect on climate change ...as an aside even IF which i don't believe for a second this isnt caused by human activity ...human activity is all we can do something about SO i don't get their point at all)

i would assume she is not a deep thinker and wont ponder our snarky comments ...even this one

[TullyMars]

Maybe she can update her passport and visit New Mexico.

[PAposter]

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?" said Lyda Green, the president of the State Senate, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"
