8. Well, that says a lot right there, doesn't it?
I don't think she had any clue whatsoever just what was involved with a national presidential campaign. None. And it's just starting to hit her now.

Remember, she didn't give any interviews or make any appearances until her speech because she had to be "prepped." She ain't gonna have the luxury of that on the campaign trail. And she's not accustomed to the 24/7 fishbowl of national exposure and national campaigns, either.

Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 12:42 AM by rebel with a cause
rove like character: The rain in spain falls mainly in the plain.

palin: the spain rain mainly falls on the plain.

rove like character: No,no,no! I won't be with you always and you can't count on mccain to help you. Hell, we have to watch him like crazy, now we have you to watch too. Damm, I can't do this.

palin: Well Udder, I am trying. After all I am a mudder of five.

rove like character: Okay, now listen to me. The rain in spain falls mainly in the plain.

palin: the plain is covered by rain in Spain.

rove like character: Whatever. Close enough. Can you wear a little thicker pair of glasses, and make your lipstick a little redder.

:sarcasm:

7. Ahhh...
The grueling campaign schedule has already worn her down. ;-)

They are getting her out of the spotlight to smarten her up.

A week just won't cut it.

9. What this says to me is that they are terrified of putting her
out in front of the press with all the crap that is swirling around her. Maybe they know something that hasn't come out yet?? This sounds very strange. It seems she would be "cramming" on the plane on the way to some fundie convention non-stop. I smell a very large rat.

19. I agree, Biden should work this into a soundbite.
There's no excuse for this.

Palin: The epitome of a talking head. Talk when the campaign tells you to, repeat what the campaign tells you to, don't do anything without the approval of the campaign and the campaign will cover for you.

This whole thing is a big pile of mooseshit.

This worked when they did it with Bush in 2000.

21. I don't buy it...
They wouldn't admit this unless there was something worse it was covering up.

She's going back home to tie up all the loose ends on all the investigations going on about her and her past. I'd put money on it.

She has significant legal problems, and has just been sued by the troopers union.

24. I think it's weird that they canceled all appearances for her since
last Sunday until next week sometime, except for one or two private/friendly meetings with GOP groups and her convention appearances. Why did they have the CONFIDENCE to initially set up campaign appearances for her, and then turn right around and cancel?

29. I think...
Every time the woman opens her mouth, she shoves her foot in it, so the key is limit the chances she has to open her mouth in public, lol. They HAD to introduce her, and build her up. Now its time to go take care of all the nasty business left over in Alaska, in the meantime, get her caught up on all the Repug talking points. She already has a reputation in Alaska of sticking to her script, and does poorly when side-tracked, so they really need to KISS (keep it simple, stupid) with her.
