That's the best for right this moment. She's trying to help Obama and knock McCain out of the race. That will take Palin with him. No use attacking Palin when McCain's the target.

Also doesn't give the comedy circuit any more ammunition that will bring more attention to Palin.

Hillary's not stupid. < :-)

Hillary's not stupid" No, she isn't and that the biggest reason I am glad Obama knocked her out and put her where she belonged!

Palin had to be the stupidest person when she said Obama regrets not taking Hillary as VP. That would have been a nightmare.

It might have won the election easier. But yes, the post-election reality would have been a nightmare.

I think it is also smart to steal Palin's thunder by ignoring her. Besides, not enough moderate Republicans are willing to accept criticism of her extremism or hypocrisy anyway, so its a waste of breath talking about her.

Classic Palin misstep the other day: "We've got to regulate the markets so...we can get the government out of peoples lives."

Watching her speak on economics is a little like going to a waterbuffalo for info on integral calculus - you laugh so much you cry.

The New York senator abruptly canceled an appearance at a rally protesting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after learning that Palin had also been invited to the event scheduled

Palin has been very respectful of Hillary and spoken highly of her. Unless there's more to the story, Hillary is being a petty B for not showing up to this important event.

"We've got to regulate the markets so...we can get the government out of peoples lives."

Could you provide a source for this quote from Palin? I'd like to read the whole quote. I'll check back.

Seems like a bad month for Obamas campaign, do you guys think he can still pull of the upset and become the first Non white president? Or do you think we will have the first female VP (we Had hillary as president cause we all know who Bill got his ideas from)..

And Clinton should be able to go to a rally when Palin is there or will they start a cat fight?

Might be fun to watch them go at it:)

The former publisher of National Review abandons McCain. A good critique of abandoned conservative principals:

http://www.dmagazine.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?nm=Core+Pages&type=gen&mod=Core+Pages&tier=3&gid=B33A5C6E2CF04C9596A3EF81822D9F8E

A Conservative for Obama My party has slipped its moorings. It’s time for a true pragmatist to lead the country

In 1964, at the age of 16, I organized the Dallas County Youth for Goldwater. My senior thesis at the University of Texas was on the conservative intellectual revival in America. Twenty years later, I was invited by William F. Buckley Jr. to join the board of National Review. I later became its publisher.

But today it is so-called conservatives who are cemented to political programs when they clearly don’t work. The Bush tax cuts—a solution for which there was no real problem and which he refused to end even when the nation went to war—led to huge deficit spending and a $3 trillion growth in the federal debt. Facing this, John McCain pumps his “conservative” credentials by proposing even bigger tax cuts. Meanwhile, a movement that once fought for limited government has presided over the greatest growth of government in our history. That is not conservatism; it is profligacy using conservatism as a mask.

Today it is conservatives, not liberals, who talk with alarming bellicosity about making the world “safe for democracy.” It is John McCain who says America’s job is to “defeat evil,” a theological expansion of the nation’s mission that would make George Washington cough out his wooden teeth.

This kind of conservatism, which is not conservative at all, has produced financial mismanagement, the waste of human lives, the loss of moral authority, and the wreckage of our economy that McCain now threatens to make worse.

Hey, Sushi, I'm waiting for a source on your Palin quote too. I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere.

Sushi,

I too am still waiting for the source of the Palin quote you posted. Certainly one wouldn't post a quote without a source. Again, I'll check back.
