First off the most lavish, costly Democractic Convention is history blown out the water in one fell swoop.

All they talking about is Palin.

Why ain't we heard a word from the Clintons?

Anyway, lets see,

1) All the white women is gone

2) 10-30% of all the Black women is gone, depending on how Palin courts them.

3) 10-20% of the black men is gone if she puts on a mini skirt and shoots some hoops with Kobe and Shaq.

4) All the Reagan Democrats are gone

5)Latinos and Asians will be split--a wash

All that is left to him is most of the black people and all the Democratic party members.

Please let's not waste time on discussion issues and qualifications. This is America. They are at best code words for "I like him"or "I think he's a Commie".

It is over unless they can discover some criminal offense this woman has committed that makes her unfit for office.

Note the Repubicans got a skirt wearing real woman and not a Feminazi manthing.

It ain't about not voting for a woman, its about not voting for a fake one (Hillary) I always said the first woman president would be a conservative woman--or Oprah Winfrey.

Don't forget the so called Candidate of Change picking Joe Biden, a dried up old white eunuch.

Why didn't Obama get a young Democratic woman if he was so into change, hmmm?

Oh well, he tried.

I'm sorry. I was wrong about Clinton

How do you spell Judas?

Clinton congratulates Palin
Posted: 05:50 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney


Sen. Hillary Clinton praised the choice of a female for McCain's vp.
(CNN) – Hillary Clinton praised the historic nature of John McCain's vice presidential selection in a brief statement released Friday that was eagerly anticipated by both presidential campaigns.

“We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin's historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain," Clinton, the first woman to win a presidential primary, said in the statement. "While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate.”

The McCain campaign has made little secret of the fact the selection of Palin — the first woman to appear on a Republican presidential ticket — was in part designed to court supporters of Clinton's White house bid, some of whom feel the New York senator was treated unfairly during the primaries because of her gender and remain wary of supporting Obama.

Palin directly mentioned Clinton by name in her acceptance speech earlier Friday, saying, "Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America. But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all."

Clinton's statement reacting to Palin is markedly different than the Obama campaign's initial reaction which made no mention of the historic nature of the Alaska Republican's VP candidacy — instead painting her as woefully inexperienced to be commander-in-chief. The Obama campaign later released a joint statement from both the Illinois senator and his running mate, Joe Biden, praising Palin for making history.

It remains unclear just how many former Clinton supporters Palin may attract, but California Sen. Barbara Boxer said Friday that McCain is "badly mistaken" if he expects backers of the New York senator to break ranks with the Democratic party because of Palin.

What is it that drives you to constantly try and deconstruct a black man's quest for the highest office in the land, chrishayden?? Why do you find it necesssary to belittle and ridicule Barak Obama's candidacy and to dwell on his flaws as if his foes are not duds??

And your obsessive hate of Hillary Clinton has consumed you to the point where you are unable to dismiss her as an impotent also-ran who is depending on the DNC to pay off her debts. Your irrational resentment of Hillary has even driven you to embrace Sara Palin who is nothing more than a domesticated Ann Coulter.

Your preoccupation with besmirching Obama says more about you than him, and your "I-told-you-so" gloating is rarely grouded in reality.

But blabber on. If you aren't good at anything else, you are at least doing a great job of impersonating Rush Limbaugh.

I don't believe Hillary will go after Sarah too hard. HIllary should focus her distain on John M and not become an attack dog for the Dem party.

The news media has fallen in love with Gov Sarah Palin. The former beauty queen with the all Amerian family seems too much for fair weather reporters to resist.

From beauty queen to (possible) VP. Only in America.

I just cannot believe Senator Clinton, postergirl & champion of Woman's Rights, would let her personal feelings get in the way of the most important election of our lifetime, regarding women & the right to choose among other things. Naw.
If Senator Clinton truly cares about women/women's causes--and I believe she does--she'll do whatever it takes to keep McCain out of the highest office and get Barack and Michelle Obama in...even if it means getting all gangsta like she did in the primaries..lol..and kicking some right-wing republican kunt in the ass.

McCain’s Pick May Foster Bigger Campaign Role for Clinton

By PATRICK HEALY
The New York Times
Published: August 31, 2008

ST. PAUL — Advisers to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Sunday that Senator John McCain’s selection of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate would lead to a greater role for Mrs. Clinton as she campaigned this fall on behalf of her former rival, Senator Barack Obama.

Mrs. Clinton’s friends said she was galled that Ms. Palin might try to capitalize on a movement that Mrs. Clinton, of New York, built among women in the primaries. And Democrats used strong words on Sunday to rebut the notion: Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts said that women would not be “seduced” by the Republican ticket, and Guy Cecil, the former political director of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, said it was “insulting” for Republicans to compare Ms. Palin to Mrs. Clinton.

Nevertheless, Clinton advisers said they expected that a bloc of her female supporters would give Mr. McCain a second look because of Ms. Palin, and that Mrs. Clinton was probably Mr. Obama’s best weapon in response. But asked if the Palin pick would lead to a new political marriage between Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton, a senior Clinton adviser, Ann Lewis, said: “Not a political marriage. She is not on the ticket. Senator Obama chose Joe Biden as his running mate. Hillary will do what she can to help.”

Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said they expected that in light of the Palin selection, she would focus her efforts especially on working women — middle- and working-class, married and single — in swing states where she ran strong, like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Mr. Obama’s advisers sharply disputed the argument that Clinton supporters might be drawn to Ms. Palin on the basis of sex, given that Ms. Palin opposes abortion rights and other commonly held positions for Democrats. But Clinton advisers presented a more nuanced view, saying that some of her supporters — they could not specify how many — could be open to the McCain-Palin ticket depending on how Ms. Palin performed and whether she appeared to be a forceful, sincere advocate for the concerns of working women, their families and for policies that would help them.

“With Palin, there is a core group of Hillary supporters who are not available to this ticket or any Republican,” Ms. Lewis said. “Supreme Court appointments is the bottom line. There is a second group who are now giving McCain-Palin a second look, and it depends on how Palin performs. These voters see Hillary as someone who fought and rose to challenges with persistence, and who spoke in real ways to their lives.

“We don’t know yet how Sarah Palin will perform,” Ms. Lewis added, “and if she lets these voters down, gender is no longer an asset, and it could backfire on Republicans.”

Mr. Cecil said he believed that the McCain-Palin ticket might initially intrigue some Clinton supporters, but that they would ultimately choose Mr. Obama.

“It is insulting to compare Hillary’s lifetime of service and her commitment to progressive causes with that of a novice, right-wing governor,” Mr. Cecil said.

Mrs. Clinton was unavailable Sunday for an interview, her aides said.

Mr. Cecil said the Palin pick would most likely increase the number of Mrs. Clinton’s appearances on the campaign trail, on television and at fund-raisers on behalf of the Democratic ticket. He added that Mrs. Clinton would probably spend “a good deal of time in battleground states, particularly in the suburbs where the race is often won and lost.”

Obama advisers said they had not settled on the number of days that Mrs. Clinton would campaign for the ticket. She has at least one event next week, they said, adding that all indications from the Clinton camp — with which, before the Democrats’ convention last week, post-primary relations were still bumpy — were helpful and positive.

“She has been extraordinarily generous and cooperative,” Mr. Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, said of Mrs. Clinton. “Gender politics aside, everything that Hillary has fought for is on the ballot. Palin may add some gender diversity to their ticket, but she doesn’t add any philosophical diversity. Hillary is a huge asset for us, and we want her out there, though we would have wanted her out there regardless of Palin.”
