“The [McCain] campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as “disastrous.” One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, ‘What are we going to do?’ The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is ‘clueless.'” [Ed Schultz]
“Clueless.”

Like a Moose in headlights clueless?
George
Sounds like they may be trying to lower expectations as much as possible. So if she’s halfway coherent people will be impressed.
ChicagoJimmy
Will they dump her for someone else? If so, who could they get that would save the ticket while not over-shadowing McCain?
George
I think only Colin Powell could save him at this point I think. But I think he’s secretly for Obama.
Lisa
They can’t dump Sarah now. People were already questioning McCain’s judgement by just picking her. If he does drop her for someone else then it will show even more poor judgement. Also he has injected life into the hard core republicans with his pick of Palin, so if he does get rid of her he would have to pick someone even more conservative. That just to frightening to think about.
CHURCHILL-Y
Deer in the headlight and that’s going to be Obamadenijad today without his four teleprompters and that sleazeball David Axelrod giving him all the answers.
Jon
Can we just stop the political correctness? Sarah Palin is nothing more than cleaned up trailer trash. She’s like Britney Spears, but without the class. This woman has no business anywhere near Washington.
seitan-on-a-stick
I heard that she missed the Straight Talk Express bus and got on the ‘Clueless’ Bus because it gave change.

In college, my statistics professor, a Pakistani immigrant, said that he thought that all the speculation and poll taking and use of statistics by news organizations in the weeks leading up to the election was a waste of time and money because if everyone just sat back and waited till election day we’d all know the winner. At the time and even today, I thought his comment was insightful.
Still, if you look at the electoral college and the state by state polls, Obama is going to win. That’s giving McCain Ohio and Virginia too. If you can figure it out so that McCain credibly wins the electoral college please post.
John
Also, even Dan Quayle made it through a debate. How bad can she be? They must be trying to lower expectations: “Let’s leak that we’re terribly worried about her performance, that way if she doesn’t do or say anything too ridiculous, she can look like a real performer under pressure”…yeah that sounds like a Republican strategy to me.
Btw, Did she really say that global warming is God holding us tighter? lol
conrad
Concerning the electoral college, give Obama all of the Kerry States plus Colorodo, New Mexico, and Iowa. The latest Rasmussen polls have BO ahead in Virginia and Ohio. Or we can all wait until November 4…
Lisa
To agree with John: When the polls are done, they call people who have voted in the past with land line phones. I used to wonder how the polls could be so close but with these factors, I think Obama is definatly in the lead.
daniel k
Since McCain failed at delaying tonights debate till next week when the VP’s are supposed to debate, expect them to announce a “family emergency” that will prevent her from attending… You heard it here first.
seitan-on-a-stick
Hi Russia, it’s me Sarah. I can see you!
Nitesurf
Palin’s responses to Katie Couric were incoherent at best, I don’t think it’s possible to lower expectations any further than they already are.
flightoftheseabird
While I do think Caribou Barbie is woefully unprepared and unqualified, I do think this is a smoke screen by the McCain campaign to lower expectations to the point that if she does not run of the stage screaming, she wins. Steve Schmitt is a Karl Rove protege, and I am sure Mr. Karl is very involved in this campaign. Rove set the expectation so low for Bush, that if he didn’t throw up on himself he won. Well, guess what, Bush did not throw up on himself and most of the media agreed that Bush won nearly all the debates, despite that fact that those of us who watched clearly saw that both Gore and Kerry won nearly every debate. The same thing is happening here with Caribou Barbie. As long as she doesn’t run away or start crying, she will win.
James
Hey Church-lady,
What does your comment have to do with Pailn?
kisses
flightoftheseabird
James…The answer is nothing. Church is just a douche bag with some deep unresolved anger (or racism) towards Obama and it doesn’t matter what the topic is, he can manage to inject his racist remarks into the convo.
CHURCHILL-Y
No. 18- Buryingheadoftheostrichbird, I think I can speak or write in this case for myself.
James, I was referring to the “Alaska Governor is ‘clueless.'” untruthful accusation creatures like you and like Sitting-On-A-Piece-Of-Shit No. 1 love to make about her while choosing to overlook the lack of substance, surprise and/or confusion, often displayed by your self anointed Messiah on the issues when he doesn’t have David Axelrod whispering in his ears.
I hope that was a comprehensible explanation for your inferior brain to process.
P.S. Sending the kisses back… Yuck! They are the type of WhatAmericadoesnotneedmoreof variety (:
polobear
When was the last time Russia violated our airspace in Alaska and what did she do about it? It is so comforting to know that Saint Sister Sarah( vote for me because I have a vagina) is up there single-handedly protecting us from her home in Wasilla as she plots her next move up the ladder.
LOVE that Keith O donate 100 bucks to the Special Olympics in Alaska ( a budget she cut drastically) every time she lies.
James
Wow Churchlady. You sure is crazeee. I’ve never said anything negative about your love Palin. Don’t agree with her on anything, but can you find an “untruthful accusation” I’ve made about her? Just one please. When you do, let me know sweetie.
kisses to you and yours
ps: Flight,
Yeah Church baby has been selling his racism line for awhile. Soon he’ll refer to you or me as Moesha and then go on and on and on and on about his folks marched with Martin. But the best part of it all is when he denies any racist intent! 🙂
mark
and Palin thought her daughter was SCREWD, wait til Nov 5th when she losses Nationaly, and then returns to Alaska where McCain staffers has alienated her entire state….teaching moment
ChristopherM
James, you haven’t heard anything. Wait until he calls you a “charcoal dick lover.” I can’t even take his comments on Morning Goods seriously he’s so stupid. And that stupidity shows exactly why he relates so much to Bible Spice and her peepaw running mate.
marco channing
Sarah Palin has talking points like “Charlie, the terrorists are hell-bent on destroying us”. That’s it. No substance.
Not to mention she lied about the Bridge to Nowhere, Alaska’s energy (it’s 3.5%, not 20%), let McCain stop “Troopergate” and has the McCain campaign running Alaska. Then there is speaking in tongues, burning witches, pipelines from God, rape and insect babies, believing she knows more about Iran than Kissinger, hiring people for the government because they like “cows”, banning books, her support for Ted Stevens, passing her baby around like a bong at the RNC and talking about her son on 9/11 while calling ‘foul” about press coverage of her family, claiming “sexism” even though she called Hillary a “whiner” for claiming the same thing, requesting higher amounts of earmarks per day then Obama, letting polar bears become extinct because saving them would affect oil drilling, shooting wolves from planes for “sport”…
…should I go on?
Someone should have done their homework and not let Rush Limbaugh pick the VP.
Jude
I don’t think Rush picked her, McCain did… he wanted a new mistress.
polobear
I think Rove picked her I hear he wanted that salamander Leiberman
bible Spice haha that is a good one
still like Caribou Barbie best
marco channing
Limbaugh was pushing for Palin for several months on his radio show. I believe that’s where the idea came from.
It’s not like anyone knew anything about Palin, other than the incest baby-lovin’, rape kit chargin’, earth is 4,000 years-old believin’ religious extremists that make up Palin’s fan club.
James
Christopher,
🙂 Churchlady would probably say he is just being honest truth teller when he resorts to throwing out racial garbage. He would be at least interesting if he were subtle, but I guess it’s hard to be with a white hood on.
James
michael
Hey Churchasshole,
I am the child of a wealthy, totally Republican, White as you can get, totally right wing religious family, hell one of my family members even founded one of the corps. that was just bailed out. So I am everything that your party and belief system stands for! But guess what? I love black men, I love black cock, I love to have sex with black men, I love to blow them, bottom for them, date them and hopefully one day even marry one! So get back in your fucking trailer and shut the fuck up because you are obviously the worst trash there is and thats white trash.
