[Straw Man]

Does NOT have to be from the campaign directly. This shows my point, Democrats are starting to come off their seats and get angry and frustrated. Attacking someone's child?

When the Obama camp got mad at people for attacking Michelle who actually is a part of Obama's philosophy of American ideals and ideas.

Hypocrisy.

Bullshit

Bloggers/Pundits do not equal the campaign.

If that's the case then Ann Coulter and all the right wing hate merchants speak for McCain

The public seems to think so

[Straw Man]

The public seems to think so

which public are you talking about?

I don't care about the views of pundits or self proclaimed experts

I try to look at the candidates word and actions and make my own decisons

[headhuntersix]

The Daily Kos is not a source, they spew bullshit all the time. The far left are a bunch of weak minded douchebags. This is an off limits issue and the left are showing how worried they are of Pallin. If she didn't matter, there would be no talk.

[calmus]

Hahahahaha... there's blood in the water, and now the sharks will feed.

Harriet Miers anybody?

[240 is Back]

it's completely unprovable that the 16 year old is pregnant.

it's also the perfect response from Camp Rove to the charge.

if you investigate or report on the story now, you hate teenage girls.

you can't prove she's not pregnant, and we're sure not going to see a pregnancy test.




And you can bet your ass we'll never see this newborn's birth certificate.  Just like the hospital records which have been *scrubbed* in the last 24 hours.

I fall off my chair laughing that the dems are scared of Palin. I am sure they are thrilled by her choice.

mccain did what Mondale did in 1984.  Down by 16 points with no hope, he selected a woman VP candidate and immediately tied Reagan in the polls as a result.

I think if he had chosen a more solid female, one that could cause more cross overs - Obama may as well as forfeited the election. Would have sealed the deal imo.

kay Bailey Hutchinson, for example.

He chose this one for her looks, plain and simple.  Nobody notices he's 72 with cancer spots, when they're a hot mom on the pic next to him.  She is sizzle.  he's supposed to be the steak.

Agree. Hutchison would have sealed the deal for him with many women. She is a very solid choice on the surface.

I like her, but she is pro choice and would have killed him with his conservative base. 

[shootfighter1]

"That is fine attack her experienance but they just did a complete 180 with the family and went after her daughter, and herself."

I agree.  Although, as previously stated, it probably came from left wing organizations outside of Obamas camp.

would be if all the news networks have catastrophic power failures and can't broadcast.  I'm so sick of these pinheads telling us how they'll be able to call this election soon...  There should be some law limiting what the media can report before all the polls are closed.

actually the single best thing would be Obama winning but a media shutdown would be my second wish

Yes. All of the networks were reporting that Al Gore had won in 2000, which likely caused a lot of people who were planning to vote to simply stay home, thus causing Bush to win.

I also notice that the media idiots always think that they can determine the winner right when the voting starts, yet keep switching their "predictions" back and forth throughout the day.

It's pathetic attempts to get ratings.

[Hugo Chavez]

It should really be illegal... It would be like me standing in front of voting lines with a loud speaker and saying, Research X organization (my company) has called the election for X candidate, we have a winner!!! and then pull my freedom of speech card out if the state comes down on me...

[24KT]

The single best thing would be an Obama victory so overwhelmingly decisive that McCain crys on TV. 

[240 is Back]

(April 6) -- In an interview set to air Monday on the 'Tyra Banks Show,' Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin's infant son, described some tension with Alaska's first family.

He told Banks that his former fiancee lets him visit but won't let him take the baby out, and that Bristol's mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, probably knew the teenage couple were having sex. "Moms are pretty smart," he told Banks.


The Palin camp fired back in a statement from the family's spokesperson, Meghan Stapleton, released Friday

Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship," says the statement.

"Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence. It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child."

"Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions," the statement concludes.

Johnston, 19, and Bristol Palin, 18, are the parents of Tripp, who was born on Dec. 27. Johnston told The Associated Press on March 11 that the two had broken off their engagement.


"Some days we can have regular conversations without fighting," Johnston said of Bristol in the interview. "Most of the times, I don't know what's wrong with her. She's in a pretty bad mood, she's short, she doesn't want me around, I don't think. She says that I can come see the baby and that kind of thing, but won't let me take him anywhere."

Sarah Palin announced her daughter's pregnancy on Sept. 1, days after Arizona Sen. John McCain picked her to be his Republican vice presidential running mate. Johnston appeared at the Republican National Convention with the Palins.

Palin spokeswoman attacks Levi Johnston's 'lies'
Posted: 06:33 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) — A Palin family spokeswoman Monday is continuing to push back against recent claims from Levi Johnston, saying the former fiancé of Bristol Palin told an outright "lie" when he said the two were allowed to live together.

"Levi has never lived under the same roof as Bristol or any of the Palins," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton told CNN.

In an interview that aired in full Monday on the Tyra Banks Show, Johnston said he moved in to the Palin household shortly before the birth of son Tripp last December.

"I just wanted to be there for her when she had the baby," Johnston said, adding the two were allowed to share a room.

"Do you really think the governor and Todd would have allowed that," Stapleton said in an e-mail.

In a statement released late last Friday, Stapelton was also sharply critical of Johnston for appearing on the show.

"We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship," Stapleton said. "It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well-being of the child."

But in the interview with Tyra Banks, Johnston said was driven to "break his silence" after reading several news reports that were "not true."

"I have seen a lot of stuff, read a lot of things in the newspapers and news and it's time we get our story out there," he said. "I have seen a lot of stuff saying I've done steroids and drugs and cheated on Bristol and that kind of thing, and it's not true."

Johnston also described a currently chilly relationship with the Palins, saying the Alaska governor "doesn't want me around, I don't think." Johnston, and his mother Sherry, said they may go to court in an effort to be granted 50 percent custody of the child.

Johnston and Bristol Palin were thrust into the spotlight last September when Sarah Palin was chosen to be the Republican vice presidential candidate. During the GOP's national convention in Minneapolis, Palin revealed that Bristol, then 17 years old, was pregnant with Johnston's baby and the two had plans to marry.

The Alaska governor later indicated the wedding would occur this summer. But news surfaced last month the two had split.

I don't know why AOL, CNN, and yahoo keep covering this irrelevant person.

[IFBBwannaB]

I don't know why AOL, CNN, and yahoo keep covering this irrelevant person.

She is so irrelevant that you can't miss anything that is said about her....she owns your tiny brain!!!! 

[BayGBM]

I don't know why AOL, CNN, and yahoo keep covering this irrelevant person.

They are doing it to mock her--and the GOP for daring to hold her up as any kind of leader.  Every time she is in the news the people who supported her (and the rest of the country) are reminded of how daft they were.  Palin was/is a fool and only a fool follows a fool.

There were so many better choices McCain could have made (Christine Todd Whitman, K. B. Huchinson, Romney, heck--ANYone else).  He was once known as a war hero... then he was known as one of the Keating Five.  Now, McCain will be remembered as the desperate old guy who chose Sarah Palin.

Whittman and Huchinson are libs,they would NEVER have been allowed to get that position from the base.Romney should have been the pick but McCain despises him.Dumb ass McCain wanted to pick that filthy little hebe Jew Lieberman a man who is one of the most liberal senators ever[except on the war and only because he supports Isreal].So,McCain picked someone he thought he could control and the base loved her.

Remember this,despite the rantings of 240,McCain sank in the polls when he suspended his campaign and voted FOR the stupid ass bailout.Palin did not cause him to loose.He lost because HE SUCKS!!!!Even the very last night he gets on television on ESPN and when he and Obama are asked what what you change about sports.Obama says "Id like a college football playoff system".McCain says "we should do more to stop steroid use" .A total fool and totally out of touch with what America wants to hear.

[Hedgehog]

Levi will be known as the stud who nailed Palin.

I already see him getting a contract with a major porn studio, setting him up against a Palin-look-a-like.

This would be an instant hit in the MILF segment.
