Who is in Charge? Palin Says Omaha Visit Was Not Campaign’s Call, It Was Hers

[maddezmom]

First her second guessing on MI, now this???

(OMAHA, NEB.) - Sarah Palin said at a hastily scheduled Sunday night rally in this solidly red state that the decision to come here was hers alone and was not the defensive move by her campaign to lock up Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District that many pundits have suggested.

“The pundits today on TV—one of them was saying, check out the vice president’s schedule, check out where she’s going — she’s going to Nebraska,” Palin said.

“But the pundit was saying the only reason she’d be going there is ‘cause they’re scared, so they gotta go there and shore up votes. And I so wanted to reach into that TV and say no, I’m going to Nebraska because I want to go to Nebraska.

Nebraska is one of only two states that splits its Electoral College votes, and the Obama campaign is making a serious play for the solidly-Republican 2nd Congressional District, which is represented by Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb. But Palin suggested that the obvious political ramifications had nothing to do with her decision to come here.

1. Yeah. People who have no reason to go to Nebraska are always like...

...HEY, LET'S GO TO NEBRASKA!

No offense to Nebraskans. But really... who does that?

[liberal renegade]

10. Nobody.

[RoadRage]

17. HEY NOW!

I would like to be the person in charge of the Nebraska Bashing.. umm.. since I live here. :)

OmahaSteve, etc... are free to join me. Others from outside of this really red state.. please be nice. We already have to live amoungst corn & Rethug freaks.. we need no more punishment.

Ohh.. and we're trying hard as HELL to get the city of Omaha to flip for Obama.

If that happens.. we will officially re-name the city Obamaha. Keep your fingers crossed!

[annabanana]

20. (I love my red state bluebirds!)

A courageous breed, they are.

[Arugula Latte]

2. WTF?!

:wtf:

This woman is insane.

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. It was a lie for the McCain campaign to show her Maverick Maverickity

The McCain campaign saw that Omaha was in play.

[firedupdem]

4. She's such an idiot. n/t

[donco6]

5. Such an obvious lie.

So, she went to Nebraska and wasted time and money because she just "wanted to go to Nebraska"? Either she is stupider than we thought, or she can't help telling lies.

[abumbyanyothername]

13. Lie for a dime when the truth would get her a dollar. nt

[ibegurpard]

6. "Check out the vice-president's schedule"??

Getting a little ahead of herself isn't she?

[tularetom]

7. In spite of her delusion to the contrary she ain't the vice president

and probably will never be.

"...check out the vice-president's schedule..." WTF? I don't think any pundit said that.

[liberal N proud]

8. She is not a Maverick...

She is loose fucking cannon

[philosophie_en_rose]

9. "check out the vice president’s schedule"

a bit premature there.

[Disturbed]

18. Gov. Palin is a Sociopath, arroagant,,viscious, inept & corrupt .

Gov. Palin needs to be Impeached, now!!!

At the very least, Alaskans need to mount a Recall Petition & toss her out. The vetting process of her becoming Gov. must have been almost non existent. Her abuses while Gov. have been ignored until recently. The spotlight now has revealed her unethical & perhaps criminal actions as Gov. She screwed up by accepting the VP position that is way beyond her level & has brought about scrutiny of her as Mayor & Gov. She is unfit to be Gov., much less VP or possibly Pres. of the USA..

[TNMOM]

11. 'ck out the vice president...' a bit presumptuous aren't we?

[GalleryGod]

12. It's Official: Sarah is out where the buses don't run.

Douchebag,pole dancer.

[ErinBerin84]

14. she's a fucking toon....her recaps are hilarious.

"one of them was saying, check out the vice president’s schedule, check out where she’s going — she’s going to Nebraska."

check it out, check it out!


Yeah, Palin...like how the gotcha "constituent" was hollerin' "you better have an answer on Pakistan!"

[BlooInBloo]

15. That doesn't even pass the laugh test. NOTHING is "her call".

[Cha]

16. Yeah, well, we want to reach in that tv and tell you

to get the puck back to Alaska, hockey stick.

[woolldog]

19. I don't buy it was her idea for one second.

If they weren't worried about the CD then her visit there is a complete waste of time.

[RoadRage]

25. Jim Esch is doing decently...

Lot's of young folks here really like him.. i don't know if he'll beat Lee Terry.. but it's going to be a closer race then many think.

Esch is young (32).. and he's got a good ground (grassroots) game going on.. and the Obama race could really help him out in getting young folks to the polls to vote for him.

[nini]

21. I think they underestimated the barracuda

she'd turn on her own mama to get power.

She's one scary piece of work behind that wink and a smile.

[tanyev]

22. So Sarah went to Nebraska because she's scared.

Yeah, that's a much better spin, Mooselini.

[iceman66]

23. Notice she's already referring to herself as the vice president.

[progressivebydesign]

33. OMG! Great catch! WHat presumptive asshole she is! N/t (lol I mean presumptuous)

[uppityperson]

24. Hey Sarah, Cheney's still vp.

Why can't people see that obvious lies don't help?

[Hutzpa]

26. She is a buffoon and the McCain

camp are using her on a need to know bases.

Imagine being shut out by your own team.

[Sugarcoated]

28. Isn't this going to backfire and make

McShame look weak?

[bridgit]

29. That's that twisted dominionist fundamental mind at work. Take that lie of a fairy tale...

and repeat it over & over & over & over & over & over again till no-less than you yourself believe it. It's a sickness we're witnessing played out in public same for McCain

[Telly Savalas]

30. She was seduced by the "Omaha Rocks" tourism ads and just had to visit

[kestrel91316]

31. I used to think if McSame got elected she might have him offed.

Now I am thinking she is more the type to make a NAKED POWER GRAB by getting together her fans to have McSame declared "incapacitated" shortly after taking office.

This woman is extremely strong-willed and dangerous to this nation.

[progressivebydesign]

32. She's LYING, as always. She doesn't call the shots. She's trying to sound MAVERICKY!

Not desperate, which they are. They are probably giving McCranky a blood transfusion all weekend, so she has to do the leg work.. you know.. as she says.. "the heels or on, and the gloves are off"

She's a lying tool, trying to make herself sound like the victim of the mean old media!

What a rebel! :puke:
