| Palin effigy removed from US home after protests Fri Oct 31, 2008 3:04am EDT Email | Print | Share | Reprints | Single Page | Recommend (2) [-] Text [+] By Dan Whitcomb LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A man who prompted protests by hanging an effigy of U.S. Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin by a noose from his home at Halloween has removed the display because it was causing too much trouble. Chad Michael Morrisette had dressed a mannequin to resemble the Alaska governor, complete with beehive hairstyle and her trademark glasses, and hung it by the neck from the eaves of his home in famously liberal West Hollywood. In the run-up to next Tuesday's election, this triggered counter-protests and a visit by the U.S. Secret Service, although officials concluded he had violated no law. "It was just creating such a disturbance. There were helicopters circling overhead, counter protesters," Jake Stevens, spokesman for West Hollywood Mayor Jeffrey Prang, said in explaining why Morrisette agreed to remove the effigy. "Mayor Prang just kind of appealed to his common sense. He had made his point and it was becoming counter-productive," Stevens said. Morrisette also plans to take down a mannequin of Republican candidate John McCain which had protruded from the chimney surrounded in flames, Stevens said. |
A visit from the Secret Service? Okay, that was a little over the top. I read of Obama effigies as well. This is one very intense presidential battle.

Sarah Palin Demurs on 2012 Presidential Bid, Exit Polls Show McCain Help
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Sarah Palin become an overnight rock star on the conservative side of the political spectrum and motivated pro-life voters who were anemic in their support of John McCain. Hours after McCain's election loss, the Alaska governor demurred on her own potential presidential bid in 2012. Palin, who energized the pro-life movement when McCain named her as his vice-presidential running mate, is credited with rebounding the McCain campaign shortly before the economic crisis sank it. Just hours after McCain conceded defeat to Barack Obama, CNN reporter Dana Bash caught up with the governor to ask her about the chance of a candidacy in 2012. Palin answered the question diplomatically, saying she can't imagine what the future holds in a potential election four years from now. "Right now I cannot even imagine running for national office in 2012," she told CNN's Bash. "When I say that, of course, coming on the heels of an outcome that I did not anticipate and had not hoped for. But this being a chapter now that is closed and realizing that it is a time to unite and all Americans need to get together and help with this new administration being ushered in." Palin said "2012 sounds so far off that can't even imagine what I'd be doing then."

I think she helped McCain for a few days... and then her real inexperience showed through in some serious interviews and blew the illusion.
Having the presidential campaigning going on for so long was a drag on the whole affair. How does a Senator or Governor take care of the demands of the offices they already hold and still steadily campaign for nearly two years? Palin brought some new blood for the tail end of it, but it was short lived.
Honestly, unless Sarah makes some serious improvements on her interviewing skills, I don't see her progressing past the office she currently holds -- and I'll be surprised if she's re-elected as governor.

And the Palin bashing begins
It didn't take long for people in the McCain camp to choose sides: either attempt to improve John McCain's legacy and bash Sarah Palin OR be a decent person and let the truth spill out. Those who are choosing to prop up Senator McCain's legacy are gutless, at best, because they are leaking alleged info as 'unnamed sources'. For a group of staffers working for someone with the courage and bravery of Senator John McCain, these cowards obviously haven't learned anything of real value from working with an American hero. Glenn talked with Red State editor Erick Erickson, who is working on outing the 'unnamed' sources.
