Just how despair is there in the Obama camp over Sarah Palin?

Question

I sense a lot because they are attacking her children, her smart moves as a mayor of a city, heck, one has to wonder if they will slander their pet dog (rumor has it, he had a short g*y affair with the neighbor dog in his teens...LOL).

Palin will be tough to debate, tough to slander as a leader, and she has more executive experience than either Obamler or Biden.

Isn't Obama's camp shaking in their boots because of the polls & news around Palin? Obama's name now comes up second in every news story it seems...

Answer 1

I don't think their desperate, but she's just so easy to go after...What is this?  Juno?  Which is kinda funny, considering she's from Alaska.

Answer 2

Palin will crack after Biden rips her a new az$hole. she has nothing on biden.

Answer 3

Personally, I'd say no.  All though Mrs.Palin is a smart,

and beautiful person, she has made a  questionable

judgment error in her short time as Governor, that might be considered unethical. I'm sure whatever the issue

was about, it will be admitted with regret, rather than

covered up--another plus--but could this information

just be a rumor?  

Answer 4

  Well the leftist minions certainly have been sent off on a mission to discredit her as much as possible.  All the while ignoring the obvious failings of their candidate Obama.  Typical libs.  Ignore the truth and attack the weak and defenseless such as Palins daughter.  Same for the Libs so peaceful demonstrations at the RNC. Breaking windows slahing tires setting fires atacking defensless people with pepper spray etc.  Typical lil cowards.

Answer 5

if Obama decided to run for prez in 2016 instead of 08, and his oldest was 18 and pregnant out of wedlock, do you really think RUSH LIMBAUGH, and DRUDGE and right wing bloggers would let it go????????

Answer 6

LOL

REDNECK!!

Answer 7

Obama clearly stated on national interview

Families need to be left alone

Or did you NOT see it

More executive experience...explain

Running a small town of 5000 then a Governor for 1 1/2 years

Chosen by Mc Cain after he speaks to her for 15 minutes

Look at how everyone is defending this extremely bad choice and facts are not even out yet

Why the h**l would Obamas camp be shaking in there boots except by laughing so hard as we are

I picture her across from the likes of Putin should anything happen to Mc Cain she would be your president

Then again...the Reps will use the excuse as she said in an interview in July...just what do VP do..nothing

It is scary to know she could be president if something happens to him

Answer 8

judging by the viciousness of their attacks, and the number of invented 'issues', i'd say they were like cornered rats.

Answer 9

they are frantic.  by naming Pailn, McCain haz energized the party, moneu is pooring in and republicans are very excited.

Obsms, the liberal media, and his supporters have gone ibnto full attack mode.  they are trying their sexist Hillary tactics again but it will bacfire on them.

they are asking can she be a good mother to her children by working.  hey Michelle works too, they never made this an issue for her.  Biden was a single father and raised his two boys, this was never asked of him.  they are making insane allegation as seen on here by many of the Obama supporters who have been crude and dewed in their so called questions.

Palin will hold her own and their sexist treatment of her will indeed backfire and make many women angry, such as myself.

she is handing a private matter of her teenage daughter with love and support.  this is a situation that many american families will and have faced each year so she will gain their sympathy to and be angered at the treatment this girl and her family has received.

remember that we had never heard of Obama until he ran for president.  the press should be all over his background and associates like they have been Palins but they have reasons for not doing so.  they wouldn't report on his church and preacher until forced to do so and then it was spinned in a positive light.  they refuse to pring anything about Edward's affair until forced to do so, they have no credibility anymore.

McCain?Palin 09

Answer 10

Obama has made it clear that " Family is off limits " what are you talking about. Go educate yourself.

Answer 11

Oh, we're wailing and gnashing teeth.  (snicker).

We don't know what we're to do.   (bites lip).

Answer 12

None. Obama has gone up it the polls since McCain named and has increased his lead beyond the margin of error.

Maybe you have bought the Republican talking points on Palin, as you repeat them here, but most people aren't buying it.

Answer 13

There's no despair in the Obama camp. He's still in the lead and has gained independent votes.

The despair is in the McCain camp that this choice of his wasn't vetted very well.

Answer 14

Ya got it!  The polls after the Dem convention didn't give the left as big of a jump as they expected, and as a result, anything positive about the right is sending a quake through them thar left drawers!!!!!

Answer 15

They're just angry because they spent so much time on their anti-Romney, anti-Liberman, and anti Pawlenty ads. Proof? Just take a look at their latest ad which...I'm not sure what it's supposed to do to Sarah Palin...

Answer 16

Yes...*giggle*...Obama is scared to death...*giggle.*

Choosing Palin *snicker* has really hurt his poll numbers.

And there is absolutely nothing negative *giggle* about her that is worth mentioning.

Answer 17

I swear if this story about her dog holds true and you are the leak we will dis own you.......I'm looking into his past right now.

Answer 18

"despair"  ????   You must be kidding me, many of us are rolling on the floor laughing our a$$es off at the mess John has created.  The longer this goes on and the more that is, and will be uncovered you will regret this selection.   "Happy days are here again"

Answer 19

   I know, its funny how they bash bash bash with such lame excuses.   I could write a book on how bad Obama's judgement and character is, too bad they don't read or watch the real news= they must not know the Real Obama.    

Answer 20

The Obama camp is reeling over this. All of the women voters are now voting McCain. Look at the polling numbers. Obama got a modest bump from the DNC. I believe it is the second smallest in history. The average bump is 5-7%. Early GOP estimates show McCain getting a 5% bump. This will put McCain further in front.

I can't wait for the debates where Palin will really show Biden how to debate. Of course, McCain will bury Obama, but that has been a known fact for months.

Answer 21

I don't care about her private life.

She's just not fit for that job.

Answer 22

Obama is scared, but his minions in the media are like a bunch of sharks. They'd do or say anything and trash anybody to help put Obama in power.

Answer 23

Oh she is very easy to slander. Just search about her. Barely 2 years as governor and she's already under investigation for abuse of power.

Answer 24

If you are crazy enough to still trust John MCCAin after he has  showed us exactly what kind of judgement he has,

I think you are also out of touch with reality....

Answer 25

Temperament to LEAD took the words right out of my mouth.

If Obama had a teenage daughter that was pregnant you know the right wing attack machine and that Rush would be all over it like flies in fudge

Answer 26

Are you kidding me? The Republicans just handed Obama the presidency on a silver platter. h**l, I might even throw a party.

And this not even considering the fact that Biden will eat this moron alive during the VP Debates.

Thank you, John McCain!

Answer 27

I just don't get when people keep saying, "She's not fit for the job," or, "She doesn't have experience." Do they even know who they're side picked to run for the #1 job in the land is? Before last year, you could ask anyone of these young leftys who Barack Obama was, and they'd have no clue. Yet, they want to put him in the most important seat in the land, despite belonging to a racist church, only having 1.5 years in the senate, voting to kill partial-birth babies, no commander-in-chief experience, and ties to the mob (Tony Resko) and known terrorists (Bill Ayers). So, why is the open-minded left jumping all over this woman, b/c they don't have anything to believe in.  

Answer 28

can you show me these alleged attacks?

All I see are people saying Palin is a far-right fundie nutjob hypocrite who (until very recently) belonged to a political party that actually wanted to vote on *leaving* America!

That's all we need to know about her.

Answer 29

not despair - Elation! i thought they were going to put somebody tough up there like Romney - then I would have been concerned. Not Palin

· Its not an issue as far as I'm concerned, despite the Republican's touting themselves as the family values party

This is what I am concerned with, McCain is 72 and had cancer 5 times, Palin is that close the Presidency

Palin: I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place

Steve Doocy from Fox news “She does have foreign relations experience because she is from Alaska and that’s right up there near Russia”.

Palin Video “What does the VP do?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ys4HGbiO...

Palin replied: "As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I'm used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we're trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question

Suing Polar Bears

Gov. Sarah Palin and other state officials fear a listing will cripple offshore oil and gas development in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in Alaska's northern waters, which provide prime habitat for the only polar bears under U.S. jurisdiction.

"We believe that the Service's decision to list the polar bear was not based on the best scientific and commercial data available," Palin said in announcing the lawsuit

"This lawsuit and her head-in-the-sand approach to global warming only helps oil companies, certainly not Alaska or the polar bear," Siegel said. "Gov. Palin should be working for sustainable, clean energy development in Alaska instead of extinction for the polar bear."

Palin Under Ethics Violation investigation

In naming her as his vice presidential running mate Friday, Sen. John McCain hailed Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as “someone who has fought against corruption.” But Palin is under two ethics investigations springing from accusations that she abused her office to pursue a personal grudge

Answer 30

Unfortunately, the news around Palin has centered around her 17 year old pregnant daughter. I think Obama handled this very well explaining that his own mother had HIM when she was just 18 and that THIS should not be the topic of discussion during the election. I think McCain picking her as his running mate was "smart" in that he was trying to appeal to the women and the Hillary voters...however, I also think that some Hillary supporters may feel this was a slap in the face thinking that maybe McCain feels all women are interchangeable and that well, to him, a woman is a woman is a woman....who cares which one, ANY one will do. I'm not saying I feel this way, I'm saying that SOME woman may feel this.

Answer 31

I don't think they are in despair at all.   No one is looking at Palins daughter, they are looking at Palin herself and wondering, what she has to say now about her "abstinence only" ideology.  You know even if she publicly promotes abstinence only, as a mother, you would think that privately, she would tell her daughter, "look, I don't want you to do it before marriage, but just in case you do, protect yourself".  Pregnancy isn't the worst thing that could have happened.  There are any number of diseases out there that you can catch when you have unprotected s*x.
