Liberals and their media friends had decided that Palin wasn't qualified to be a mom let alone the next VP. But Palin came on strong and proved that small town American values are not hokey.

The McCain team has hastily assembled a team of former Bush White House aides to tutor the vice-presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, on fo...

I don't know how other Alaska residents felt about the pit bull joke, and obviously her audience loved it, but most of us here in "small town America" probably didn't find it particularly funny.

The Palins, Roves and Hannitys of the world remind us the politics of the past -- of cynicism, manipulation, and fear -- still have many devoted disciples and even more drones.

For every hardcore supporter of the radical right that was jumping up and cheering at home, there was a progressive jumping up and shouting profanity at their TV.

It's homespun terrorism tailored to appeal to "the average American" and orchestrated nice as you please by the most efficient cultural terrorists this side of Wannsee.

Do Democrats really perpetually want to lose elections to keep a small minority of Americans--the pro-choice fundamentalists--happy by keeping abortion legal up to the moment of birth?
Linda Hirshman | Posted 10.05.2008 | Politics
Rejecting Sarah Palin could be the beginning of a renewed women's movement, a movement of content and boundaries, that uses its electoral power to achieve its ends.

Those who are calling Governor Palin McCain's Hail Mary pass are making the same mistake they made in calling McCain road kill a year ago.
Mitchell Bard | Posted 10.05.2008 | Politics
We've all had our fun at Palin's expense. But it's time to join Obama and laser in on demonstrating how a McCain-Palin administration would continue the failed policies of George W. Bush's presidency.

The reviews are in and most people think that Sarah Palin nailed her speech Wednesday night before the Republican National Convention. Political gurl...

Palin is poisonous to the body politic because she brilliantly creates the illusion that she is the girl next door running for the White House on behalf of common people.

Karl Rove told the story of how Cindy McCain visited Bangladesh with Mother Teresa and encountered two sick little girls and took them both home. It's a heartwarming story, no question -- but hearing it from Rove is just plain creepy.

Republicans are disciplined, fall in line and fight like hell to win no matter what's required, including play dirty. Democrats are not, do not and will not.
Adele Stan | Posted 10.04.2008 | Politics
Palin's speech was not meant to inform or inspire her audience -- it was meant to call down the force that will re-ignite the culture wars of the late 20th century. And so it did.
New York Times | CARL HULSE | Posted 10.04.2008 | Politics
