I think these are valid reasons to fire some one regardless of the relationship. If the Dems keep attacking her on this she will seem like a folk hero standing up to bullies and thugs. I think the folksy small town persona is going to work with most of the US and the more her opponents downplay her small town experiences, the more they will look like Washington elitists.

Sarah Palin once had the nickname "barracuda" in high school sports, which explains the GOP use of the Heart rock-n-roll song, "Barracuda," as Palin's theme song. Well, some people are not happy about that.

The rock duo Heart is the latest group to publicly veto a stump song, condemning the McCain-Palin ticket for using its '70s hit "Barracuda" as the theme for Gov. Sarah (Barracuda) Palin. "Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women," Heart members Ann and Nancy Wilson told Entertainment Weekly after the song played at the Republican National Convention. ... ... Under the law, candidates can use any song they want as background music so long as they pay the necessary licensing fees. The legal waters are murkier when a song becomes an integral part of a stage production, like the use of "Barracuda" to introduce Palin at the RNC, one legal expert said.

Interesting that she criticized Clinton and others for adultery and her buddy US President hopeful Mc Cain is also accused of the same thing. I guess it is ok if the guy is offering you the second most important position in the white house.

Like I said before "I hope McCain dies and she becomes the president". If he is elected.
Unfortunately, just like all of the other presidents have stated when they get in office and a few of them have to discover "they didn't run anything".
If she becomes president I wonder how they will manipulate her? Maybe not money. She does have five kids.
The government has been Hijacked and is run Mafia style.
She might be up for a rude awakening.

I'm running 20 Communities now and the rest of our network so I did not have chance to bring up some of the recent issues.

Obama's 'pig' controversy Barack Obama made some unfortunate headlines late yesterday when he said during a stump speech that 'you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig'. Big problem with that normally standard expression---it was one of Sarah Palin's big lines in her convention speech. To give the benefit of the doubt to Obama that he wasn't calling Sarah Palin a pig means that Obama, at the very least, showed some pretty horrible judgement in using that line. Everyone in the audience took it as a slam on Palin (listen to the cheers).Ref. Source 6 |

The Obama Campaign and the Media need to stop running against her and resume open season on Bush and linking him to McCain or this VP pick is going to be the icing on the cake for McCain's Inaguration Party. They are focusing too much on her and she is too clever for them, so they need to drop the attacks and resume hitting McCain/Bush. Her sound bites bite more! Must be the lipstick....
I love this VP pick and like the way that McCain didnt play it safe. Playing it safe in this election would spell LOSS. He boldly picked a woman and even moreso...the RIGHT woman for the ticket. I was thinking woman and was more in line with Hutchison out of Texas, but Palin has been a perfect pick.
As far as the Russian comments, it is just tit for tat right now. Russia has for weeks been talking about war with the west.

Vincenzo is a Palin fan eh? Well, I hope she does not let you down in the coming months. I do wonder if all that she says is passed through a party filter first for approval or if she truly is spontaneous. Maybe she is also trying to shift attention away from her family, and rightly so.

Everything I have read basically says she is a firecracker with a cause. Oh, I think she is the perfect counter to the Obama lovefest that was going on. I can honestly say that I bet that choice totally blindsided the Obama Campaign. I bet they were looking for a safe pick like Romney, Brownback or maybe even Ridge. The strategy on the Obama side would be to just pick apart the "OLD BOYS CLUB" and tie it with a big noose around the Bush Administration and keep yelling the Change Mantra. This was a big block in the road. Heck...you can even say a bulldog, moose or elk! Obama's choice got him older and far less handsome...McCain's got him younger and a heck of a lot more pleasing to the eye and that is unfortunately what the media driven public is swayed by. Oh that choice was a brilliant move on the McCain side.
