Palin’s already shown that she’s more of a man than Obama is,

Dayum!!! That looks like it hurt.

I personally love a strong women. Strong women helped build this country. They encouraged their men to be strong when the odds were against them. When chaos ensues, strong women bring us back to our senses and give us focus. God do I love what strong women have done for this country. Sarah is just the latest in long history of great women. She will be fine, and one day make a great President.

This latest outrage has more to do with Barry pandering to the crowd. He learned well from his Pastor/Mentor Rev. Wright. This crowd knew what he was talking about and whom he was talking about, this was a direct attack on Sarah Palin. I don’t care what he says the next day, it was, and that crowd knew it. You look at the smug satisfaction on Barry’s face as they were all laughing. He knew what he was doing. This man is completely classless, and I am happy to see the McCain camp smack him down one more time for being stupid. With that tho, I agree, it is time for Sarah to respond to these things herself and let the McCain people trust in her ability. God Bless this ticket, and God Bless America. – Lorica

I think the McCain campaign needs to step back and calm down a little. There’s no need to immediately create a response ad everytime they feel like Gov. Palin has been treated wrongly, no need to call an “emergency” conference call to discuss any perceived slight levelled at Gov. Palin from Obama spokesmen and/or surrogates, no need to demand an apology every five minutes. Respond with a strong statement and make your point, refute what’s been said if possible, but for heaven’s sake please don’t blow things out of proportion by issuing the victim card everytime someone goes after Gov. Palin.

Surely. The McCain campaign, too, should remember Obama’s technique. We’ve seen this from him before. He sits back, plays rope-a-dope for a few days, and then he responds. He’s pretty good at picking the right moment to do just that.

It seems to me that most Americans have already decided that Palin’s no pushover, no shy violet who has to be “protected” from the nastiness of the campaign. The next job of The McCain campaign should be concentrating on persuading the voters that Palin is qualified to assume the presidency if it comes to that. If Kossie and the Slimetastics want to put on an episode of “Terminate Her! The Sarah Palin Chronicles,” let them. To get hysterical about nonsense like “lipstick on a pig,” and to put out adverts with wolves in them is beyond silly.

Yes, I know, I know . . . the media would rather cover the adverts than actually cover the campaign. They’re lazy; adverts are easy to cover. But, as I said, what the voters need now is assurance that the country will be in safe hands if it comes to a Palin administration sooner rather than later.

The more the Republican ticket can act cooly and confidently, the more it’s going to rattle the Obama camp. Don’t let them recover from their initial panic over the Palin pick, and that’s going to require brushing this stuff off.

The best thing you can do in an argument with somebody losing his temper is to keep possession of yourself. Then when it pays off you can laugh about it after the inauguration.

In the Age of Macaca, where the MSM and their Democrat pets frantically search foreign language dictionaries looking for evidence of GOP “racism”, it is appropriate that the Messiah is now the one feeling the pain of Lipstick-gate. It reminds me of terrorists who accidentally blow themselves up instead of their intended target.

Excellent site here.

It is clear that she comes well qualified for VP and she needs to be able to show people that she is even more than what we’ve seen so far. I want to hear her speak outside of the somewhat scripted rally speech and shoot more from the hip. I think when people see and hear her speaking more candidly, she will be even more appealing.

I was raised to avoid either bragging or excessive complaining, so the whole fixation on victimhood seems to me like something from another planet. I really do lose respect for people who go that route, and with a loss of respect goes a loss of sympathy.

So, yes. McCain’s supporters do need to stop harping on this. Obama will provide fresh fodder for the (gag) narrative (spit) soon enough.

Sarah seems capable of handling this just right: by laughing at her opponents and hitting them with just the right riposte. The McCain people should just let her keep doing that.

She looks like a great choice for vp. Noone ever scores points playing a victim, ask Hillary, so I think ST is right about that, but I do like when McCain yells at people.

Sarah Palin looks like a pretty strong woman, and I haven’t seen her play victim at all. Reading some of the lefty blogs, it’s funny what they are throwing out against her hoping something will stick.

The classic video was when the democratic senator from Alaska sided with Sarah on the firing of the trooper. He went on to say the trooper had no place keeping his job as he had made threats.
