Obama camp: Is Palin's membership in AIP also off limits?

[thewiseguy]

For pete's sake we are going to have a secessionist as the future Vice President of Union?

[still_one]

1. Of course not, that is about the candidate, not her family's personal affairs /nt

[thewiseguy]

2. Then where are the ads?

[Chan790]

3. I'm sure they're working on them...

this isn't your run of the mill political landmine and you only get one chance to run a Goldwater daisy type ad on this sort of issue. You make it count.

4. Maybe they want to wait until she's actually nominated. NT

[RaleighNCDUer]

9. Yep. Why waste money on an ad that goes after someone who is

going to 'regretfully decline' the nomination before the end of the week?

[MUAD_DIB]

5. Think of it this way. Why use up your ammon so soon?

The Obama Camp, while not participating in babygate, probably would like it to get as much air time as possible.

When that humiliation has set in firmly to the McCaint vetting scandal, then they can start to bring out the other fresh meat.


Whenever possible don't help your opponent remove his foot from mouth or head from ass.

[zeemike]

[Egnever]

8. AIP: "no use for America or her damned institutions"

All we need is to run the video of this guy.

<Sarah Palin, to this day supports and spoke words of encouragement to the AIP political party at their 2008 Convention, a secessionist organization whose platform still includes secession by Alaska and whose founding member, Joe Vogler, refused to be considered an American citizen: “I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.” >

15. I think that guy is dead, he was the founder

10. Her comment on VP duties absolutely suggests she'll use VP slot to achieve AK independence

Quote
But as for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does everyday? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. "WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VP SLOT IS A FRUITFUL POSITION FOR ALASKA, ESPECIALLY FOR ALASKANS AND FOR THE THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE...

so she's going to use her VP slot to push for Alaskan independence after she's fulfilled her list of earmarks?

to achieve Alaskan Independence after she's fulfilled a laundry list of earmarks

12. Definitely not off limits. Secessionists can be seen as a threat to national security. n/t

13. The McCain campaign is inadvertantly the best ad for Obama that we could have right now.

I honestly don't think the Obama campaign has to do a whole lot of anything for the moment. I wonder if they are betting that Palin isn't going to make it to the end of the week and are saving their ammo for whoever turns out to be the REAL VP candidate??

[texastoast]

16. Absolutely a legitimate issue that needs HUGE focus

Unlike "breeder" comments.
