Why all the Sarah Palin threads?

[Somawas]

Is DU smitten with her, too?

The last I looked we were still running against Mad John. It's about Mad John and Obama. Not the second string cheerleader Mad John brought along as a distraction.

1. That's really not true.

The idiot public will vote for the ticket that impresses them the most.

And it's very clear that Palin is the one getting their attention.

2. She does all the talking! What are we supposed to do, speculate as to what McCain WOULD say

if they let him talk? :rofl:

[gratefultobelib]

4. Nah, we're not smitten. We just love reading how she's going down. At least I do.

15. she's here to stay.. media is covering for her..no mention of the $600 mill bridge to 7000 people or

her scandal hocky rink.. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122065537792905483.html

"snip...Ms. Palin marched ahead, making the public case for a sales-tax increase and $14.7 million bond issue to pay for the sports center, which was to feature a running track, basketball courts and a hockey rink. At the time, the city's annual budget was about $20 million. In a March 2002 referendum, residents approved the mayor's plan by a 20-vote margin, 306 to 286. The city cleared roads, installed utilities and made preparations to build....snip

...The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla....snip"

7. You're a little late, aren't you? This has been going on for almost a month. nt

[Somawas]

8. Seems closer to a year.

Wasn't it only three weeks ago they nominated her?

Can we please get back to politics? I'm tired of American Idol.

[quiet.american]

10. I hear you. I've done my share of begging for that, too. nt

12. America loves

a former beauty queen.

and apparently DU has a crush on her too.

9. It's only been the last week since GD: P has not appeared to be General Discussion: Palin.

I think Republicans love our obsession with all things Palin because it is a distraction and misdirection from the real issues.

11. No it is now Palin, McCain....she said it and I heard it...

[sam sarrha]

13. oct supprise is McSame drops out, and fellow Dominionist "The Huckster" is VP

[silverojo]

14. You just started a Palin thread

Seems like you're qualified to answer your own question. :)

[seabeyond]

16. running against Mad John.... you are wrong. they are "partners" . it is a mutual palin and mccain

he had no one at his shows. now she does. we are not running againt mccain. it is a race with palin now

[cynatnite]

17. Sarah "I can see Russia from my house" Palin....

come on...it's fun.

We need more Sarah "what's a bush doctrine' Palin.

:evilgrin:

[patomime]

18. Because....

She's the new toy on the block. All the other ones have been seen or used before. Oh! come on -let us play with her.

Also - and, more seriously, it helps us vent our frustrations at this totally unqualified candidate.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. I like talking about her

because there's finally something I know more about on DU than most of the rest of you. :)

[Obamarama]

21. Because. We. HATE. HER.

Besides, you just started one, too so what's up with that? Pot, meet kettle! :-)

[MattBaggins]

22. Then there's reality

Palin is the one we are running against and that's because of her own party. We are not the ones making pubs leave rallies after she speaks. We are not the ones donating more money for her then for McCain.

Yes in truth it is Obama vs. McCain; but the reality of the situation is that in the political world of hearts and minds, she has replaced McCain as the front runner.
