    Agreed. I discussed the Harriet Miers comparison with a right-wing buddy of mine earlier today.

    So much for VETTING! :rolleyes:

    This is going to get more interesting daily. I expect a full crack in less than two weeks.

    Biggest political disaster in history about to unfold.

    Suitably for McCain.

    Wow, DailyKos is going to town on Palin here.

    Another hit piece from them makes its way onto ABC news.

    From what I hear Palin was a fairly last minute decision and the vetting process was a quick one, not the months-in-advance process that is typical for most campaigns. This much baggage cannot be good for a presidential campaign, whether it is fair/true or not. Three different scandalous issues within a week of the announcement. Geez.

    Of course they say they don't know if she actually favored letting Alaska break off or not. I know basso knew a lot about Palin before this happened, and told us we'd be impressed. I wonder if this is one of the things that is going to impress us.

    Doesn't this just fit into the maverick, pseudo-libertarian, kill-yer-own-moose-and-leave-others-alone type of thing? I'm not sure this hurts her reputation at all. The more you can put a davey crockett cap on her, the better for the ticket probably.

    There are Texans that feel the same about Texas. I've been to meetings about it. I have since not agreed with it. I went because I was curious as to it's validity.


    Big deal.

    Well, it also fits into the "I'm running to be Vice President of a country I want my own state to get the hell away from" type of thing, which I guess wouldn't play too well with the "God Bless America" crowd.

    I like this description of the Party:

    She says it's not accurate to describe the party as secessionist -- they just want a vote [to secede], she says

    Experience - off the table
    Reverend Wright - off the table

    Thank you Miss Wassilia!

    ...and the liberals continue to try to smear a woman with baseless ad hominem attacks... and you wonder why the Hillary supporters can't stand Obama... Keep it up, libs, because it will cause Republicans to rally around their candidates...

    This is truly gutter politics.

    There is nothing cuter than the faux indignation of Republicans.

    This woman no longer wants to be apart of the very nation of whom she is running for Vice President. This in addition to her not even knowing what a Vice President does equals a truly hilarious gaffe by the McSame campaign. Yikes.

    Dead heat = McCain trailing in all polls by an average of 5 points.

    now this one is big. It's actually legitimate. I can't believe it. Talk about a problem with patriotism.

    This makes all of TJ's smears against Obama even more laughable. How ironic it would turn out that Palin is the one with issues.

    TJ, i think this stuff is going to really hurt the Republicans.
