MSNBC: "Palin pushed for a flight to Wasilla, DESPITE THE COST, so she could vote there"
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 11:06 AM by Amerigo Vespucci
This is coming from the live stream on MSNBC so no link:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22887506#22887506

The reporter said that Palin has an absentee ballot that she could have used but demanded that she get a flight to Wasilla. What a MAVERICK!

9. Wasilla is 15-20 minutes north of the Anchorage airport.
She can't be hassled to ride in a vehicle for that long?

22. That's what they said just a moment ago.
A flight to Wasilla to vote and a flight back to McCain's "Victory Party."

So much for rasslin' in "reckless spending."

13. So she can rush a flight home to vote but not when her water breaks?
This woman so needs to stay in Alaska.

25. No surprise-think about what she did to give birth in Alaska
Water breaks
30 minute meeting at Governor's conference
FLies FROM Texas
Doesn't go to the hospital in Seattle
Doesn't go to the hospital in Anchorage
Give birth in Wasilla something like 8 hours later

26. I don't have much of a problem with this. All the others are voting in their home states and I'm
sure the McCain campaign would pick up the tab.

29. So THAT'S why they attacked Obama for going to visit his
grandmother - political cover to fly Ms. BarbieDoll to Alaska. These people are pathetic.

And paranoid.
