How long before this becomes Thomas Eagleton all over again? He lasted 18 days before withdrawing his name from consideration. I doubt Sarah Palin will last that long.
John McCain will come to his senses soon and nominate someone who's actually qualified.

I'm not sure how her daughter's pregnancy demonstrates the Governors lack of qualification to be veep. Did you mean to leave this comment on the "Foreign Policy" post? Please clarify.

Well this is the only sensible thing BO has ever said. Sarah Palin will resign from the campaign for lack of experience right after the three others that have less executive experience than she resign before her.

Concluded Obama before getting on his campaign bus headed to Milwaukee, Wisc., "Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be. And if I ever thought that it was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they'd be fired."
By "involved" does he mean
getting her pregnant, or
talking about the pregnancy? I can see why he'd fire them either way...

Class move by Obama. (Less so by Ed).
We await Sullivan's response to Obama. Andy already had about 12 posts up on this topic today before the Senator weighed in - he might be worn out.
Of course, he's not in the Obama camp, so as a neutral observer concerned only with, uhh.. well... whatever it is he's concerned about he can press on.
But if the Palins release a statement per GH above, how long til he demands youtube video of the birth?

Obama better find a bunch of pink slips then. His people have been running smear web sites about Palin linked right back to his web sites. Obama's is just one big lie after another. Or he's just plain stupid. "Charles Johnson busted the Obama Camp for setting up anti-Palin websites".

Obama is absolutely at least partially responsible for this GARBAGE. What he says and what his 'supporters' do are entirely different things.
He is the one after all who has made it a habit to suck up to the foulest of the 'progressive' blog sites and attend their 'functions'. Did he not praise Kos just recently ?
If he wants to 'empathize' perhaps he might do the right thing and declare the 'Daily Kos' to be persona non grata in his campaign. But he won't actuallt DO anything. He NEVER does. Bill Clinton had his Sister Souljah moment, and now Obama has his.
But Obama is no Bill Clinton.
And that will speak more truly about his 'motivations' than his usual meaningless 'verbiage'.
As to Sullivan --- one needs a shower just for mentioning him. Actually going to his madhouse to read his poison requires industrial grade disinfection . What a shabby spectacle of 'politics'. No wonder people are fed up with the whold thing.

I'm with Irish Gal, why would McCain dump his running mate who has more executive experience than all other candidate's combined.
What I admire about Gov Palin, her ambition was never to be a politician but to confront and reform bad government. She didn't play the policical suck-up game to do it, she walked the talked and along the way she discovered she had a talent to led and make tough decisions.
None can get her experience by sucking up to political machines in Chicago or Washington DC, being a Senator is easy...all one has to do is be present.

I think Palin is not perfect but she is honest and hard working standing for what we want and need. She is no less experienced than Obama. And what is with Biden? He almost seems under the influence at times.
