If the election were in a week I’d be a little concerned. A lot of moronic voters see the shiny new lady much the way a squirrel sees a piece of tin foil. Luckily, they’ll snap out of it, they aren’t really squirels, after all. I have faith that once the dust settles people will realize this shiny lady came out of nowhere and doesn’t have the pedigree to be where she is and McSame is just not something we need right now.

Lynne, you don’t think that GOP side isn’t dropping investigators and lawyers? C’mon! This election is as nasty and gutter-born (more so & will get worse) than any election.
m’God, listening to Palin’s sound clip, I would think that I was listening to a preacher (maybe)…”It’s God’s will that we build a pipeline..It’s God’s will that we kill polar bears”…”It’s God’s will that we increase the cost of Wasilla Government” (particularly, if Oil $$ is being paid to me!).
Again, this election is about changing the attitude of our nation. I don’t want 4 more years of the past eight. Quite frankly, based on the record of the past several years…our attitude sucks (because folks have been beaten into submission, with the “Oh, he’s not so bad..”..Big ECCH. I like hope, I like motivation.
