Ifell (and broke my leg) could also say she has a book coming out on Obama and did a fawning piece in Essence Mag about the Obama’s.
I won’t be participating in this stupid debate conversation. The last one was just snarky comments from elitist editorial writers who think Obama and Biden can do no wrong and despise Gov. Palin who can do nothing right even though she has accomplished more in her experince than the entire Democrat ticket.
I could actually write the dialogue which will ensue. No thanks!
JOE SIXPACK AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Sarah Palin has proclaimed herself “Joe Sixpack”
If her own people do not think she can handle the press what in the heck is she doing accepting the nomination for Vice President?
Everyone it seems is worried about her performance in the debate????
EVEN if she shows well in the debate………
How about?
SARAH PALIN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Given McCains age and health history she could in deed become Commander in Chief.
DEBATE WORRIES?????
What about her Dealing with the economy or the security of our country? Is this serious?
I DO NOT WANT A JOE SIXPACK AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
But ya just had to say somethin’ didn’t ya?
C A, Biden is 65..7 years younger than McCain…not much of a difference. So, what happens if something happens to Biden…we get Pelosi? YIKES.
Logic-Biden hasn’t had several bouts with the worst form of skin cancer or endured many years of beatings in a dank, dark prison cell either. I would imagine those two conditions would add a lot to one’s biological age.
Good to see a local pushing the Republicans’ BS ACORN getting 20% of the bailout talking point. If you took the time to actually look into the money that was taken our, it was to go to America’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, not ACORN. While ACORN does recieve some money for low income mortgage counciling, from the AHTF, so does the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Why not say the Pope would be getting 20% of the money? It would be just as big a lie, but I don’t think the Republicans want to fight the Roman Catholic Church. Do some fact checking Iconoclastic Sage.
“-Biden hasn’t had several bouts with the worst form of skin cancer or endured many years of beatings in a dank, dark prison cell either. I would imagine those two conditions would add a lot to one’s biological age.”
What about a brain aneurysm? What do you think that will do to a guy? How about Obama’s medical records? Is there a reason why he wont release anything more than a one page statement? Has all that cocaine and drug use really screwed him up?
Gilbert Bailon has been editor of the P-D editorial pages since November 2007. Previously, he worked as a reporter, editor and executive editor for The Dallas Morning News and its daily Spanish-language newspaper, Al Dia. He still harbors a passion for all things Tex-Mex: food, music, language, boots and border culture. And yes he has found some of that in the Midwest. 
Gwen Ifill, the PBS veteran and Obama idolatress could go a long way toward assuring her impartiality in moderating tonight’s much anticipated vice presidential debate if she tells us at the start how she feels about ACORN being denied 20 percent of the bail out payback through Republican negotiation.
