GenHillOneParticipantSo what do you make of Sarah Palin canceling another appearance today? First Seattle on 9/24, now NoCal 9/25-9/26. Both credited to scheduling conflicts, but no other events on those specific dates have been announced. Is she going to be cramming for the debate? Are they afraid to put her back in front of live people? (though I think both were fundraisers, so probably friendly crowds) Some are speculating that repubs are gearing up for something “big” like replacing her…is that beyond the realm of possibilities?

WSBKeymasterAs a longtime political producer/reporter during my other gigs, here is what would be my pure speculation: They’re not going to waste time on the bluest of the blue states (us, California qualify). They’re going to focus on winning the swing states and spend all their time there between now and November. Remember, there are a whole lot of unannounced events – like mega-fundraisers. Just my speculation without even having read a lot of today’s non-West Seattle-related headlines.

acemotelParticipantreplacing her? Please, god!
(not that I would vote for them anyway. but I hate how pathetic the election process is -for US citizens, and to the rest of the world -with such weak candidates. Are these the the best and brightest the Republican party has to offer?)

GenHillOneParticipantShe is now thinking of bailing on Florida Sunday because of potential thunderstorms. Seems like that’s one she’d really try to make.

MrJTMemberShe is planning an extreme makeover.

JenVMembermaybe they’re getting scared of her speaking without a teleprompter and speechwriters…

HunterGParticipantSpeaking at all….
Does the fact that she gets that “deer in the headlights” look with 75% of the questions she is asked even faze republicans?
She does not have the experience to be our vice president. Alaska is a small state (not literally but in populous…didn’t she try to secede from the US a while back?), if she is running to be John McCain’s roommate in the White House she should know her stuff, and she doesn’t – its scripted and outlined for her.
Glad she isn’t coming – now I don’t have to spend my free time making a sign that says “I eat Alaskan Hockey Moms for breakfast!!”

idlerParticipantWSMOM…THAT CLIP IS SO HYSTERICAL! My most favorite part is at the end when she gives a little ALASKA cheer!

JenVMember“In what way, Charlie?”
ahahahahah
SO unqualified. SO hilarious. How anyone can defend her is beyond me. I never thought there would be a VP nominee more moronic than J. Danforth Quayle.

JennyMember> HunterG: …didn’t she try to secede from the US a while back?)
Hey, if you’re willing to use that line, why not mention that she faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her pregnant daughter too?
Maybe we need to start a thread to keep track of which false smears have become “inoperative” & which haven’t yet. :-/
September 19, 2008 at 8:50 pm #639762
JenVMemberno, Jenny, but she and her husband supported the group that called for Alaska to secede. Her husband was a member, and she spoke at their gathering. That’s a fact, jack.
September 19, 2008 at 9:44 pm #639763
BayouMemberThanks for the video link, I needed that laugh today. And JenV is right about the group wishing to secede, I don’t think that fact is a smear.
Oh, and MrJT, she’s already HAD an extreme makeover– check out those orca earrings lol!
September 20, 2008 at 2:25 am #639764
MrJTMemberBayou, thanks for pointing that out. But if that is where they ended up, we better get Ty Pennington to do a complete teardown/rebuild…
September 20, 2008 at 2:31 am #639765
HunterGParticipantJenny, go ahead and start one if it pleases you.
I mentioned the seceding from Alaska tidbit because it was a fact. And I already did the latter, (but thank you for the sarcasm)- no shame here…the rumor about the pregnancy has still not been debunked, to my knowledge.
Stay away Sarah.
September 21, 2008 at 1:12 am #639766
JennyMember> I mentioned the seceding from Alaska tidbit because it was a fact.
It’s a fact that Sarah Palin tried to secede from the US.
And Bristol Palin secretly giving birth to Trig – a month after she got pregnant with her current baby – “has still not been debunked”.
I’m surrounded by SUCH high-octane thinkers in this city. :)
September 21, 2008 at 4:52 am #639767
JoBParticipantJenny..
no.. it seems it’s the republican party party cnetral who is surrounded by high octane thinkers…
but they should have laid off sniffing the glue before they picked Ms Palin.. LOL… now there’s a real high octane thinker.
maybe the just did too many mailers:) or maybe it was really expensive booze… that would be more in character than actually dirtying their hands with work.
As for her secessionist politics.. she sure did court that crowd… with hubby doing her inside dirty work as usual…
and the baby? either she faked the pregnancy for her kid.. or much much worse.. she knew she was giving birth to a special needs child and did her best to make sure that pregnancy didn’t thrive.
She wasn’t a woman who carried her children low profile before… and although i have heard of women who carry them small for the first and increasingly bigger for subsequent pregnancies.. carrying big and then carrying small would take some effort… tissue just doesn’t work that way.
maybe it would be better if america believed it was her daughter’s child.

Oh fer crissakes.

RainyDay1235MemberFor real? C’mon, this is no time for adding credits to a weak resume. This better just be a handshake and photo opp.
Palin to meet with Karzai in New York
September 21, 2008 at 5:48 am #639770
GenHillOneParticipantno meeting date listed in that article but I wonder if that’s why she’s not coming to Hunts Point?
September 21, 2008 at 5:58 am #639771
HunterGParticipant*I am not trying to distract this thread from the topic but I need to address something*
Jenny, no one forces you to post here, or live where you do.
Politics is a sticky subject and many tempers can ignite due to our difference in opinion, but I want to make it clear that I have never insulted your intelligence, and am offended as I am sure some others may be.
If we are such high-octane thinkers, it should be easy for you to come up with something original to say instead of quoting everyone else and adding your sarcastic commentary.
It is very easy to say hurtful, rude and sarcastic remarks and make comments about the others who participate in these threads because there is no real consequence – you are hiding behind a computer screen and you may never meet this person face to face.
September 21, 2008 at 7:13 am #639772
JanSParticipantHunterG…that’ll definitely be a meeting to pay close attention to. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when she starts telling him about bear hunting ;-)
