Last night Senator Obama blundered with his "lipstick" remark. It has backfired bigtime on him. Now he's trying to blame the McCain camp for his statement last night. And he tried to say this in a press conference. But on MSNBC this morning Pat Buchannon has pointed out the crowd reaction to it. And they love it. Just this morning the New York papers were running wild with this. At the sametime in Florida the Republicans Women boycott against Oprah is full swing. Now Gov Patterson of New York has made a big blunder with his own racist comment on the McCain camp. Already this smearing of Gov Palin has gone to far. But Barcak and company have blundered. Hmmmmmmmmm wonder if any New York Reporters were arrested in Alaska? Now that would be a story. Pardon the sarcasm but the Democrats started it.

I suggest you bring back Kirsten Powers. Why? Ed Schultz,the lefite talk show host and die Obama supporter,is doing a townhall meeting in Ankorage,Alaska. He claims he wants to find out more about Sarah Palin or is another attempt to smear her. It wouldn't hurt to have a Fox news producer this weekend to shock him since he got called on SEXISM and he's been questioning her values. When honestly he doesn't know the know whole story. Already the Alaskans have been offended by the left wing liberal press and leftwing bloggers. By the way his radio show is third rated. On the pipeline is telling the truth or in reality is he really afraid of her. Now Ed S. has been on Fox before. I believe,like those in his left wing press, he should get called it on. Encourage Kirsten Powers to call on him again. After all I can tell you from listening to him he went after the Hillary Clinton voters. Yes,he dissed them. Time ring him in.

The press backlash is paramount. Already 10,000 subscribers have canceled out thier subscriptions with US magazine. What has been interesting Jenn Wenner who owns its has not gone public on the mag problems since things have exploided in his face last week. Now the sexists shoe is on the other foot. Opray Winfrey isn't out of the woods yet either. Already a group of Republica women are calling for Oprah to be boycotted. Now she's suppose to be a champion for women right? She has committed a blunder with her fanbase and they not going to let her forget either.

I think shes great,being a Mayor and a Governor still gives her more experience than Obama,hes been nothing.All Women should be insulted at the thought she can not raise a family and be Vice President.Like many other women she could always use a type of day care.There are plenty of pregant teens out there that do not have thier Moms home with them,should they quit there jobs and go on welfare? She can also seek help with her special needs child like many other families do and with the support and help from her husband I do not see a problem. Shame on any one that would even consider this a issue.

I SURE HOPE THAT Gov. PALIN HAS THE CHANCE TO VISIT OUR TROOPS, BOTH HERE IN THE STATES AND IN IRAQ. THEY ARE VOTERS AS WELL AS OUR DEFENDERS.

The Oprey Winfrey story which first broke on the Drudge Report has now broke on the ABCNEWS.COM site. The title is "IS OPREY BEING BIASED?" the three page web report pointed out that there can be clear backlash that VP Palin has been BLACKLISTED. Yes,this word appeared in the body of the news report. Now get this Senator Obama appeared twice on her show. Now racial question is being tossed and strong word BACKLASH has appeared. Oprey has tried denied what the Drudge Report broke this morning. Have your researchers check this story out.

I am so sick of hearing people say they cannot believe a mother would "do this" to her children. What I would like to know is what exactly is she doing to them? Is she abandoning them on the streets? NO Is she not feeding them? NO Is she in some way harming their health? NO! What she is doing is going through one of the most important job interviews of her life and her family is right there with her. I want to know why no one is questioning Obama's parenting. He has 2 young girls, who will go through the exact same experience as the Palin children. Someone should tell Obama he is a horrible father for doing this to his children if they feel Palin is a bad mother. The sexist remarks are ridiculous and uncalled for. We should be applauding Sarah Palin for stepping up to this great challenge and showing that you don't have to be from Washington to be somebody.

Hooray! Well spoken! Nice to find a real working mother in the East Coast power centers. Nice to find one who is a centrist, too.

The issue I see is not female vs. male... it's republican vs. democrat (stereotypes). If Palin were on the democratic ticket there would still be gender critics but this particular issue may be seen in a different light. A female democratic would stereotypically be expected by her party to do what a man would do. She would be expected to balance family and career the same way a man would. But the Republican party is stereotypically Christian and supports the idea that a woman stands behind the mand and takes care of the family (whether that is reality or not). So the issue becomes a matter of whether her party is going to cut her any slack in the long run if McCain is elected.

Well said, Alexis. I loved Governor Palin's speech tonight. SHe struck the right cords and came across with humor and intelligence. I, too, have a long history of multi-tasking; including being a working mom who pumped breast milk while enroute to my next Home Health patient. I now have 2 beautiful teenage daughters and a husband that I take care of, in addition to being the Trauma Coordinator at a large Midwest Medical Center. I also have a home business and stay busy with PTA. My take on all of this is simple: Sarah Palin has walked a mile in my moccasins and I a mile in hers. John McCain and Sarah Palin have my vote come November.

Governor Palin hit it out of the park!!!

Hurras for Governor Palin! Her speech was spot on, her record is already that of a true maverik, her family is as American as apple pie, and her future will be a bright one. She definitely does it 'her way', and America needs dedicated people like her to rid us of the parasites in Washington. Obama likes to talk about 'change'. I would advise him to take a look at Sarah's political history to truly understand what it takes to create change. God has again blessed America, and the republicans have finally earned my vote.

well said and so true!

"WHY IS PALIN’S ABILITY TO LEAD BEING CALLED INTO QUESTION BECAUSE SHE HAS FIVE CHILDREN?" Dear Alexis, I think I know why... If Mr. Todd Palin can give a hand in the house, then any gentleman can, right? Men simply do not want their wife to realize this. It's all about men's laziness.

Obama says family is off limits to the media and his crowd, then his paid hatchet men and his nutroots fans do their dirty work on the internet and in the adoring media.. So, Obama looks like the good-guy with a wink and a nod. good 'ol new style of politics by Obama, he has resorted to attacking down syndrome baby and 17 year old kid that has chose to turn a time of struggle into a blessing by embarrassing life and also getting married. Obama's a punk and an empty suit, with no experience to be Commander-In-Chief

Palin rocks!
