Palin Arrives In St. Paul For Convention

LA Times:

Ladies and gentlemen, The Governor is in the house.

Sarah Palin, Alaska's governor but John McCain's new vice presidential partner, has arrived in St. Paul for the abbreviated Republican National Convention where the selection of the relatively unknown 44-year-old mother of five has energized thousands of Republicans gathered for the GOP's first nomination of a female national candidate since its founding in 1854.

...

Palin has no public events penciled in for today. But the presidential nominee's wife and sons are scheduled to have breakfast with the delegation of the possibly about-to-be storm-battered state of Louisiana. And wouldn't that be a swell time to bring along a surprise guest for a formal introduction?

Good thing she got that passport so she can travel from state to state.

I heard she said: "It's nice to see St. Paul but I'm really looking forward to meeting St. Peter."

Thank you John McCain... You could not have made a better VP pick to guarantee victory for the Democratic Party in November!!!

I think the internal polls have shown them McCain was losing.

He wanted Lieberman and Rove wanted Romney. Could the plan with Palin be.....roll the dice, hope to eke out a "novelty" win....and then.....

Have her resign for "health or family reasons" sometime in 2009?

Then....Romney as VP and Lieberman as SOS.


That's the only way this choice makes sense--as a stand-in for another, unelectable, candidate.

Who in America thinks Rove is not capable of that kind of double-dealing? He has proven, over and over....HE IS. (And I'm sure he could get McCain to go along--with the idea that (1) you can win this way and then (2) we both get the government we want--Romney & Lieberman as part of it.

72 hours and not one policy position from Plain Sarah.

I see why some of the regressive party are happy with the Palin pick. But that doesn't change the fact that she and her running mate will lose this fall. We all know it, we are just counting down the days. But I really don't think she cares she'll lose. I think she was looking for some national exposure and she got it.

The MSM newspaper comments boards (specifically the LA Times) are overflowing with clearly planted praise for Ms. Palin, and the National Review "Corner" folks are also disseminating spin and lies (hopefully) about the incredible reception she's getting around the country and in their own families.

Either this is ALL spin or American's are truly in a state of mass delusion or hypnosis. One woman commented that just being able to deal with teenaged sons is a good indication she could stand up to world leaders.

Is this what this country has come to?

[robXdion]

Yes, they are that stupid and myopic.

[NotMcCain]

Yes, but don't forget. We've already conceded the "stupid" (sorry, low information) vote.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste!
