Why the Sarah Palin Buzz is over...

[dvcgirl]

I've been waiting for the "thing" whatever it may be, that would turn the media away from the Palin story and the buzz she's created. As long as the McCain camp keeps the focus on her, they win. If it ends up back on McCain....they lose. We got that "thing" today.

Dow down 500 points......major panic on wall st. This will shift the focus off of Palin and back on *the* issue for the election......the economy. McCain loses if the focus stays there.

You might be right. I have to say that with the closing of some of the country's oldest and best investment firms, I'm more scared than I've ever been.

The lesson should be clear to anyone. Don't borrow money if you can't pay it back. Don't lend money to people who aren't credit worthy. Don't buy junk paper and call it an "investment". They went down due to their own mismanagement.

Oldest? Yes.

Best?

Obviously not.

People inititally liked Palin because they identify with her. The truth about her is, however, that she is a congenital idiot, she looks like a transvestite, she's a compulsive liar, and she is incompetent and cruel. So, the more that it known about her, the less people are willing to identify with her.

She is also a mirror, experience wise, for Obama. And what those on the left don't understand is that the independents haven't drank your kool-aid, and get it. It isn't a buzz, it's that the moderates don't want to have a president who isn't prepared to take over on day 1.

You may be right. Maybe there are a lot of people out there, independents, who identify with a 44 yr old grandma who trowels on the make-up like a prostitute.

Here's an intelligent post. Don't care to focus on issues, eh Stevy??

Geez - I'm no fan of her politics, but this is way harsh. A few of those qualities (not the transvestite part) seem to be requirements of public office, and could apply to politicians of both parties.

I believe that a moron who wears her make-up like an Atlantic City trannie prostitute representing our great country IS an issue. Furthermore, she's a congenital liar.

Do you think Obama has a better clue on the economy? They are both clueless, or they would have both been talking about the economy much earlier than this. Our economy has been going into the crapper since (at least) August of last year.

I heard the Obama and McCain spinmeisters on NPR today and all Obama's guy could say was "it was Bush's fault". Now I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but this is too complex to blame on Bush alone. McCain's guy was not much better. He seemed to think everything could be fixed easily. I don't know which is the bigger moron. I turned off the radio before the end so maybe one of them did manage to come up with something intelligent.

Let me add that I've had many dealings with trannie prostitutes, and for the most part they have been splendid. I just don't want one to lead the nation.

Sarah who? I'm buzzing on Tina Fey!

Here we go again. You don't like the answer so, you play the hate and start name calling. Typical Liberal.**yawn**

What "answer" are yuo referring to? I don't like HER!!!!! She is an abomination, and she will take this country down if she ever becomes president. And John McCain should be committed for selecting her.

Yeah right. If Liberals do this, they learned how from the manual written by Conservatives.

Yep, no doubt soon the press will giving Palin the same attention that they're giving Biden now...

Joe Who?

Since the Delaware senator left Obama's side and ventured out on his own on Labor Day, he has hardly garnered any national media interest at all.

His plane, a blue chartered 737, now crosses the country with about three-quarters of its seats empty, rows and rows with nary a warm body to be found.

Biden's supporters maintain that he is connecting with voters and garnering positive media interest on a local level. They also say that Biden is a "governing" pick, not a "political" pick, unlike Palin. That is, Biden will actually be able to help Obama govern; he's not just a cynical selection to help his boss win the election.

Either way, as Air Joe flew from Wilmington to Charlotte, Sunday, the only reporters onboard were off-air reporters from the five television networks and correspondents from NBC and Politico. There was only one camera crew. The back of the plane, reserved for press, sat totally deserted.

The New York Times? Gone. The Washington Post? Not seen since the first days of September. The otherwise ubiquitous Associated Press? Left even before that.
