He doesn't look happy.  Methinks she resigns today or tomorrow and Romney gets the VP slot.

Wo are the cronnies now? Looks like Obama's "family off limits" speech yesterday is nothing but more talk

McCain camp: Questions on Palin's party a 'smear' By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer
2 minutes ago
 


ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain's campaign said Tuesday that rival Barack Obama's campaign was spreading "smears" about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's past political affiliations. Yet, some of Palin's previous political activities are a matter of dispute.

At issue are claims by members of the Alaskan Independence Party that Palin was once associated with it. The party, some of whose members have advocated secession from the United States, wants to place all federal lands in Alaska under state control.

The McCain campaign released voter registration documents Tuesday dating to 1990 in which Palin lists herself as a Republican. Campaign spokesman Brian Rogers said Palin has been a registered Republican since 1982, and has never been a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.

Palin addressed the Independence Party's state convention by video earlier this year, welcoming the party to Fairbanks. She gave no indication of a current or past connection to the party.

"Your party plays an important role in our state's politics," she said in the video, which is posted on the party's Web site. "I've always said that competition is so good, and that applies to political parties as well."

Lynette Clark, the chairman of the AIP, told ABC News that Palin and her husband, Todd, belonged to the party in 1994. Mark Chryson, chairman of the Independence Party from 1995 to 2002, told the network that Palin attended the party's convention in 1994. He said he was not certain if she was a party member, and party records do not date back that far.

Obama advisers and surrogates have also linked Palin to conservative former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. An Associated Press story from Alaska, dated July 17, 1999, states that Palin, then the mayor of the small town of Wasilla, was wearing a Buchanan button during a Buchanan visit to Alaska.

The Miami Herald this week quoted an e-mail from Obama Florida spokesman Mark Bubriski that stated: "Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer."

The McCain campaign says Palin supported Steve Forbes' campaign in 1999.

"Supporters of Barack Obama are engaged in an unfortunate and nasty smear campaign," said Rogers, the McCain spokesman.

While Obama advisers and surrogates have drawn attention to Palin's political associations, the campaign has strictly avoided any comment on issues related to Palin's family, specifically anything focused on her 17-year-old daughter's out-of wedlock pregnancy.

"I think people's families are off limits and people's children are especially off limits," Obama said Monday.

Hey, if ANY candidate was part of some fringe group, voters should know about it, right?

So Obama has served on boards working towards housing for the poor with, and received some political support from, a convicted bomber (who did his crime when Obama was 7, BTW, and did his time according to the laws of this country). So Michele wrote a rather dry and academic student paper in which she said something like “white overlords” (referring to some black people’s opinions about whites).

Let’s look at this other new face in the race, shall we?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection20...

Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party until 1996, a party that wants independence for Alaska. That’s NINETEEN NINETY-SIX.

She recorded a message for that party ‘s convention THIS YEAR (that’s TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT) in which she said: “ I share your party's vision of upholding the constitution of our great state" and told members to "keep up the good work"

That party’s motto is “Alaska First”, as opposed to McCain’s “Country First”.

And here’s the clincher:

At this year's party convention, the party's vice chairman told delegates: "The situation is completely out of hand, the decay of the federal government is totally complete." And tells them that in order to propagate AIP policy they "should INFILTRATE" mainstream parties. "Whichever party in that area you can get something done, get into that political party, even though it does have its problems."

So in summary:
- She begins her career as a member of a party that advocates independence for her state, and quits that party 12 years ago.
- She speaks to that party’s convention in support of that party’s goals THIS YEAR.
- At that same convention, a that party’s vice chairman says that “the decay of the federal government is totally complete” and that members “SHOULD INFILTRATE” other American political parties to further their goals.

I now understand her “foreign policy experience”. In her mind, she’s been president of a foreign country for two years!

Maybe her experience as "president" of the Great Nation of Alaska really DOES make her ready to assume the presidency on a moment’s notice! What do YOU think?

240, your sources often suck.  You get unsubstantiated claims and post all of them as soon as you can.  Whats the matter with you?  Your acting like a liberal activist.
