		<description>I would agree. I would consider becoming a pundit "leaving politics". I was talking about campaigning for office.</description>

		<description>patrick, it is funny, because they don't realize we want someone
UNSCRIPTED, real and not a crook tied to special interests. If that means they come across as a bit flakey, so be it. Obama must use a teleprompter so he doesn't appear nutty. Biden, well Biden appears nutty no matter what. The entrenched political class, is not going to like regular people coming forward to hold office.</description>

		<description>AE if, after a half-term as Alaska's governor, she winds up a talking-head on Fox that's not going on the offensive. That's cashing in.</description>

		<description>Palin has this amazing way of exposing trash on both the left and the right at the same time.  She's helped me understand problems within the GOP in addition to her delicious ability to rattle dems....it's fascinating to watch people react to her.  I love how she throws people
off course by stating the obvious again and again, and focusing on being a servant and not self-serving.  

Sorry Krauthammer and Rove fans, but I thought these two's comments on her lastest speech were pathetic.  They see someone acting selflessly and don't have a clue what to make of it. We will only get somewhere when points of view like theirs become those of political dinosaurs, along with William Ayer's.  Go Sarah@@@@@!!!</description>

		<description>Buckeyenutlover,

first, aren't you embarrassed by such a skanky name? If it helps, we are embarrassed for you. 

And second, yes, it is going to be an excruciatingly long year, waiting til Democrats get thrown out on their asses next year with you repeating what is apparently the only sentence you are able to string together over and over and over again. 

I suppose in liberal circles, your statement must sound ingenious, and as such bears repeating. But you should know that everywhere else, it just makes you look like a retarded preschooler.</description>

		<description>Jody, 

You dont know that Palin "quit" in that sense. Perhaps she is leaving politics, but she has not made her plans clear. Indeed, the only thing she has said is that she is advancing on a new front, or something to that effect, which suggests she is not quitting politics at all, but may very well be devoting all her time to campaigning against your fascist leaders. And if that is the case, that's not quitting, that's going on the offensive.</description>

		<description>Speaking of pea sized brains.....
http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/07/biden-we-misread-the-economy-.html
Jumpin Joe Biden, Democrat, admits today that he and Obama "misread the economy". God I hate it when liberals think all they have to do is say, "hey we were wrong". All better now. 
So now this same crowd wants to re do the most amazing health care system in the history of mankind.  
While the socialized medical care in the UK is trying to find out why they have a maggot infestation in their hospitals and one woman gets out of her sick bed to clean a rank and disgusting NHS hospital. 
One interesting thing that strinks me about what Obama has done to the political dynamic here at home. From now on, no polititian need speak without a teleprompter. No polititian need have an old fashioned town hall with regular people. Just screen the folks, let in only your friends. And no polititian need ever have to take an unscreened question in public. No polititian need ever be surprised by a question at a press conference. Just pre screen and tell every reporter if they will or won't get the privilege of asking a screened question.  Ah liberalism.</description>

		<description>#19 - "palin’s biggest “accomplishment” was negotiating with big oil to get more money for alaskans"

Which meant fewer taxes for Alaskans but improved services and a full treasury.  Something that Dear Teleprompter just can't do.

"just furthering socialism and spreading the wealth."

Gee, I would think that you of all people would LIKE that.  But then again, "furthering socialism" and "spreading the wealth" is an oxymoron, like the term "intelligent liberal."

"no wonder should couldn’t take the heat, what with that pea-sized brain she has."

You mean like how Dear Teleprompter doesn't like his own press corps to diss him? Or maybe how he misjudged the support of the Tea Parties?  And tell me again - who uses a teleprompter, and who doesn't?

It's going to be a long, LONG decade for you when Congress goes GOP next year and Palin becomes president in 2012.

Checkmate.

Regards,
Peter H.</description>

		<description>Is there any doubt if Obamateleprompter got the same coverage as Palin he'd be curled up in a little ball in the corner? 
Check the recent coverage of the OBAMA GLARE. He doesn't like it when someone disagrees with him. Weren't we promised an open transparent government where all opinions were valued? Lies.

"ummm  yaoh  sometimes it's green, sometimes black, yaoh depending oh umm ahhh  yaoh my mood yaoh."  NEXT!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;no amnesty for the demostrators, no restrictions of the development of nuclear power. Remember, no preconditions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No nothing except the mighty sucking power Hoover or Dyson might envy.

		<description>Dan, thanks for the study link. It came out at the same time as the Pew report, and gave roughly the same results. I think the two Pew reports were more comprehensive than the CMPA report, looking at questions of bias and candidates from multiple angles but all  three addressed bias, showing there was enough to go around, Fox and MSNBC included. 

And yes, Bush did get testy. On Iraq. On questions of torture. Arguing it's not the same kind of testiness as Obama is special pleading again, which I mentioned under the comments for your Bush/Obama attacks challenge. If you want an exception for Bush's exchanges you are going to have make a better case.

Look, I don't see any evidence (outside of rumors) for any scandals brewing on the Palin front. No family problems. No marriage issues. No "big" reason she might walk away. 

I do see evidence that things have gotten tougher for her this year -- and I don't just mean with the press coverage that comes from being a national figure.  Running Alaska is more difficult with the economy in shambles. Her relationship with both local parties administrating her state has soured; with the national GOP is probably worse. Her approval ratings were also way down. In various shapes and forms, that happens to everyone elected to public office.

So I'll go back to my original point about Palin. Obama and Bush and McCain and Biden and Clinton (...and Reagan, and Bush I, and Mr. Clinton, and Gore and....) all encountered fair and unfair criticisms. All got testy with the press. They got through it. They served (or are serving) their elected positions. 

Palin quit.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well, perhaps if she didn’t pick fights with late night talk show hosts who are celebrities…&lt;/blockquote&gt;Right on! The minute Sarah Palin made a joke of David Letterman's bastard son, I knew she was toast.

What forum does Letterman have to defend himself against cheap shots? And it ceratinly goes against his nature to strike back.

And when Palin said she was one pig who would like Obama to put lipstick on, I was shocked that she would assume that Obama would ever touch a pig. How anti-Muslim can you get?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote cite=""&gt;No wonder so many intelligent and otherwise well-informed people treat Sarah Palin they would a celebrity regularly featured in the tabloids.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, perhaps if she didn't pick fights with late night talk show hosts who &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; celebrities...

When was the last time we saw something like &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;...

Oh yeah. Dan Quayle and "Murphy Brown." 

And therein lies the problem. Like the former Vice-President, Governor Palin doesn't have good political instincts.

Better luck next time.</description>
