charlabobParticipantZG, I think he wanted to pick Joe Lieberman — Joe Biden was taken :-) Actually, that crowd was more likely to elect Biden.

JoBParticipantmore perspective..
CBS does some fact checking
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/02/eveningnews/main4408870.shtml
turns out she was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it.. (somehow that phrase seems oddly familiar.. i know it will come to me … )…in fact, congress killed it before she came out against it…
and.. the state kept the money for other transportation projects.. which it needed since she chose to rebate excess monies to residents.
earmarks too were fine when she was mayor of Wasila.. and the state has more than a few dollars from earmarks already mapped out for 2009.
She was for them before she was against them.. hmmm there goes that echo again.
so.. what earmarks was she against? That list should make interesting reading.
as for Monegan.. she now claims she fired him for financial reasons…
I can’t wait for a closer look at that one since by her own admission her staff made calls putting pressure on Monegan to fire Wooten before he was “offered another job” which he declined… and there was an investigation before she was named for the top job… probably not much of a political witch hunt.
hmmm.. financial reason?
and then she tried to hire a replacement who she knew was was dealing with sexual harassment charges…
that was such a sound decision that she backed off when the opposition got vocal.
It looks to me like she isn’t such a good decision maker.. but is a great justifier after she figures out which train is leaving the station.
Haven’t we just had 8 years of this?
I think she was getting off easy when all anyone was talking about was her pregnancies and her parenting skills.

acemotelParticipantMcCain’s speech didn’t do much to inspire confidence IN HIS OWN PARTY, regarding the eight years we’ve just been through. The Republicans don’t have a platform of their own; they had to steal the Democrat’s message.

GenHillOneParticipant“ABC News has exclusively learned that Alaska Senator Hollis French will announce today that he is moving up the release date of his investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired. The results of the investigation were originally scheduled for release Oct. 31 but will now come almost three weeks earlier, according to sources.”

ZenguyParticipantYou have to feel a little sorry for the ex brother-in-law. His divorce is now national headlines, I know I would be a little mortified.

JenVMembercan they also investigate into the librarian she had fired who refused to cooperate with her on banning books she found morally offensive?
September 5, 2008 at 10:06 pm #637002
GenHillOneParticipantThey media has only been there a week, Jen, I think they’re going to start picking things off one at a time…there’s a laundry list to look into!
September 5, 2008 at 10:08 pm #637003
CPMemberBanning books is one of my pet peeve issues, so I truly hope they do. They’ll have to look into anything if people make a big enough stink about it – the joy of blogging.

localmanParticipantSenator Hollis French “D” AK. Hmmmmmm.
September 6, 2008 at 12:34 am #637005
HuindekmiParticipantSorry, localman. This isn’t a partisan issue. It’s being pushed forward by both parties in Alaska…
Republican Lyda Green, the president of the state Senate who happens to represent Wasilla, said she expects there will be pressure to drop the investigation.
“I would assume that at a point in the not-too-distant future — perhaps after the convention’s over — I will be approached and asked to cease or cancel the ongoings of the special investigation or wait on it or something,” she said, “but it’s in place.”
Green said she will personally make sure the special investigation goes forward. She said she’s just trying to get at the truth — and she laughs off accusations by some Alaskans that she’s jealous, or that she wants to sabotage Palin.

JoBParticipantThere is nobody to blame for this investigation but Sarah Palin.
At the least, she and her staff acted irresponsibly.
it remains to be seen if they acted illegally.
