[still_one]

ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain's campaign said Tuesday that rival Barack Obama's campaign was spreading "smears" about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's past political affiliations. Yet, some of Palin's previous political activities are a matter of dispute.

1. You know, I think this is the longest stretch that the right has been put on the defensive.

I kinda like it! :)

2. Asking about her qualifications is not sexist /nt

3. Me too. It's so nice to see Republicans squirm

4. The truth is never a smear.

Its time for the republican party to own its failures.

Please drive that nail home - Own Their Failures.

5. I don't understand how he can

pin it on Obama's campaign?

6. Keep McCain busy with having to defend her and what this says about him

and his leadership skills.

7. I'm not sure a well sourced and verified fact counts as a smear.

The fact is that from 1995 to 2002 she was a member of a secessionist political party and changed her affiliation the same year she decided to run for state wide office.

8. "SMEAR"??? He's calling this a smear? McCain just hired an expert on smear (Tucker Eskew) and yet

calls this simple factual statement a smear?

My irony meter's climbing into the red

9. My milspec ironometer long since exploded.

Sprayed burning plastic and molten metal all over the room.

Burned a hole in my rug.

I *hate* it when that happens, those suckers are expensive.
