Oohrah,

I certainly agree.

That said, she needs to clearly demonstrate that she's not just a female Ted Nugent.

She needs to come accross as a serious candidate and she needs to demonstrate a firm knowledge of the issues. Furthermore, she needs to make no apologies for who she is.

Hopefully, she succeeds.

Time will tell.

As most of you already know, I view the mainstream media as biased left. That said, the vitriolic attacks against Governor Palin even caught me by surprise. The blogs are one thing, but mainstream media engaging in such utterly blatant partisanship???

If Obama is as smart as he's reputed to be, he will go on the offensive - in defense of Sarah Palin. If he does, he will earn my respect as an adept strategist. This WILL backfire - mark my words. What the media has been doing is beyond despicable. My god!! This woman has much to be criticized and scrutinized for. Yet, most of you, including your puppet-masters in the media focus on the stupidest and most offensive shit possible. I think Obama recognizes this, hence his immediate repudiation of such attacks.

If we've ever had a blatantly-open display of a biased-left media, this is it.

We'll never know as long as the McCain campaign keeps muzzling her.

Don't be a tool.

She has the biggest speech of her life tonight.

For some strange reason, I suspect she has been dedicating her time to preparation for it.

Now, if after the convention she goes into a shell, I would agree with you on this.

If this is the type of stuff the left wants to focus on, then I'd say that Palin should do quite well during campaign season.

Christ almighty BetelG.

You are the most literal person in the world, when it suits your fancy.

It's disappointing, really. You've actually done pretty well under your BetelG, handle. Relatively speaking of course. Tonight was a Cooper performance.

SHE ELOPED CAUSE SHE WAS KNOCKED UP!

From your link:

Their first son, Track, was born eight months after their wedding

It's quite possible the young couple didn't even know she was pregnant when they decided to elope. She was barely a month pregnant at the time of their marriage.

Don't let that stop your typical, partisan masturbatory frenzy though. If you're having some difficulty getting things going, I can post some pics of dead US soldiers to help things along.

JEEZ! I didn't realize it's such an awful thing to get married and raise a family.

They would handle it the same way they did Gores kid in 2000 with the drug thing. They ignored it.

Which was pretty much the reaction when Ted Kennedy's son was involved in that auto accident a couple of years ago.

Her daughter's pregnancy is only proof that opposition to birth control is not in the best interests of hormone crazed teenage girls.

Can you substantiate that she personally opposes birth control? Do you have statements made directly by her to this effect?

If she drops out, or is removed from the ticket, McCain is sunk. Period.

I hate to break up a DR circle-jerk, but it just ain't very likely.

As much as her moral code and the way she and her family live their lives is so repellent to a bunch of lefties, that aspect of her life resonates with your average American.

She has much to be criticized for that will go over well in public.

Attacking her daughter and her parenting will likely backfire; so by all means, please continue.

In fact, it's completely at odds with her "I took on the old boy network" rhetoric either.

Fact is, during her early days as governor, and during her campaign, she did just that - took on, and defeated, the old boy network.

Your use of the term 'rhetoric' is disingenuous as she has tangible evidence to support her claim.
