If SP goes off script too often, all I can say is “Heck yeah!” While I think John McCain himself is the sort of person who can encourage Sarah Palin to be herself, I’m sure many within the campaign are the cautious, conformist sort who think Sarah Palin could be a great political talent if only she would allow herself to be molded. If what we’re seeing is in fact Sarah Palin resisting not only liberalism but also Republican conformity, then that only makes me love her more. If I were more of a cynic, I’d think the Sarah-Palin-isn’t-behaving script is a ploy by the McCain campaign to boost her popularity. It certainly makes her more popular with me.

I’m not sure that this isn’t just old-fashioned jealousy of Palin. When respected conservative female columnists (I’m thinking K.P., for one) turn and begin sniping at a woman who has such an admirable track record, you know she is hitting a nerve. Women can be so “pissy” with each other. Of course, the MSM illuminati are loving this little side how. Or maybe they invented it.

Quite frankly, I doubt the whole story about dissension within the campaign. Everything I see happing in this GE campaign was used against Clinton in the primary. There were numerous made up stories about dissension from Clinton aids that later were disproved. And yet they came out everytime a primary was coming up that Clinton was favored to win. They are playing you, folks. This is part of the Obama/MSM campaign tactics they’ve been using for almost 2 years now. They are trying to suppress voter turnout because privately they know the polls are crap. A lot of us dems are working our hearts out for John McCain and we are well aware of what is going on. Don’t fall for it.

If it really is a baser competitiveness (i.e., sexism, or something close to it) in the McCain camp, it’s only “growing pains” – both for Palin and the party.

P.S. And hopefully, along the way, people will re-discover what Capitalism is. The profligate, Treasury-looting policies of Barney Frank and the Bush Administration, it isn't.

This election is shaping up as another 1976. People are intrigued by the seeming outsider – this time, a visual / racial outsider – and supporting him on blind emotions of hope, despite his total lack of accomplishment at anything except boosting his own career. As the day approaches, reason sets in with some people, and the race tightens. Will it tighten enough? We’ll know in a week. If it doesn’t, i.e., if Obama wins, then the country will be ruled by a socialist for four years and the American people, we shall have to hope, will re-discover why they had better go with a pro-capitalism and pro-America candidate, the next time.

This election — with a McCain defeat — would have been over weeks ago if it were not for our Sarah.

McCain’s so-called campaign aides are a bunch of effin’ idiots.

They’re as clueless as any Democ-rat — insular, out-of-touch, elitist SOB’s to a person.

I agree with V, as usual.

I think one of the most valuable things the righty-blogosphere could do between now and election day is talk LOTS more about the MSM/Democrat efforts to suppress the Republican vote.

Pundits declaring “ITS OVER”, stories about Irish Bookies calling it a McCain win, this story, and anything and everything else they can do to convince Republicans not to bother.

Cus there’s gonna be tons of Republican voters falling for it.

Man, they sure learned their lesson with the Florida panhandle in 2000, didn’t they!

I hate the continuous misuse of the word Liberal.

The people we are dealing with today are anything but Liberal. They are wanna be despotic Leftists.

Gossip is what it is, GPW — gossip concocted by desperate liberals who are looking for any sort of mud and smear to keep GOP voters from going to the polls.

The hate liberals and the Obama campaign have for Sarah Palin is shown by the fact that Obama liberals are hanging effigies of her. They will do or say anything to get rid of her, and in doing so, they demonstrate the utter hate and rot that is at the very core of Barack Obama and his racist beliefs and politics.
