The example Palin used to attack Obama’s experience.

She did not attack the job he has now and has had for four years, of US Senator from Illinois.

Nor the one he had before that for four years, State Senator in the Illinois legislature.

She was attacking the job Obama had ten years ago as not giving him enough experience and contrasting that with the one she had a year and a half ago, Mayor of a city with around 6000 people.

I’m wondering why Palin stopped there? If you are going to be intellectually dishonest and pick on the job someone had ten years ago as an example of their not having enough experience, why didn’t Palin just say, “And Obama’s Preschool when he was three years old didn’t offer him enough experience to run for President”.

To this list you could add that Palin cut funding for special needs children before said she wanted to be their f"friend and advocate in the White House." http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives/2008/09/palin_and_special_needs_children.php

Palin fired Alaska’s public safety commissioner, allegedly because he had refused to fire Sarah’s brother-in-law who at the time was in a bitter divorce with Palin's sister.

Add: She has already been shown to have lied in her claim that her staff was not in contact with the Safety Commissioner when taped phone conversations came to light. And there is evidence that she also lied when she claimed that she herself was not in touch with the Safety Commissioner.

A lot of defense being played today.

Should note that Obama has little experience Inside the Beltway, but worked his way up the hard way. While Palin was a beauty queen and sports caster, Obama was named head of Harvard Law Review and working outside of the system/government to help regular people make it. Everything Obama got, he got the hard way, not because he was or wasn't Miss Congeniality. Repeat the appropriate Lincoln comparison.

She fired the Commissioner of Public Safety and she lied about it. That is the more important part, that she lied about it.

And there is now a Mock Election poll every week at http://www.votenic.com . See who America thinks should become president.

They have Instant Results too!

Well, she is a tough women anyway. It take guts to earn such a nickname as "Sarah Barracuda", it really means something.
On a funny side, I came across the blog about the nature of her oil connection, here is the link: http://inconvenient-facts.blogspot.com/

How on earth can she be exposed to the press or the public for that matter? Is McCain going to confine her press availability to the AEI and Heritage? Ala Dick Cheney?

I will be mightily impressed if she is able to get through a single press conference without effing up at least one lie and accidentally telling the truth.

It's gonna be pretty difficult keeping track of all the false threads.

The one claim on this list i don't find convincing is that "she had no idea what the vice president does". The way I understood that interview, her question was more along the lines of how the role of VP would be DEFINED in a particular presidency (it varies quite bit).

Of course, she then said that the way SHE saw her role as a VP was to keep federal pork going to Alaska.

There seems to be enough questionable details in regards to Sarah Palin (her closeness
with the Alaskan Independence Party being the most disturbing to me) without having to invent another one.

But has anybody noticed that baby Trig never moves? . . . in all those gatherings with all those screaming people? I'm not an expert on Down Syndrome children but I'm more than curious as to why this infant doesn't respond in any way to all that audio stimulation. Most babies would be reduced to a crying fit.

Sarah Palin came off as a very nasty woman. I'm sure she turned off woman that can make up thier own minds about the candidates running for office.

Here's a complete list of Palin's known links to the Alaskan Independence Party.

Palin does not think global warming is man-made.

HAHAHAHAHA! This is a scandal?!!?

Even if she were wrong, it's still not a scandal. And, newsflash, many prominent scientists not only don't think there is ANY AGW, but that we might be looking at a cooling.

But don't let that inconvenient truth get in the way.

Another thing to add: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin attempted to have the city librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, fired for refusing to go along with Palin's plan to ban certain books from the library.

Emmons had worked there for 7 years and was well-liked; when word spread that Palin had asked for her resignation, the town rallied behind the librarian, and Palin relented.

I hate to direct traffic away from this website, but I can't seem to respond in the proper way I would like to.

Anyway, my comment is in response to David Andersen above, and I posted on a personal blog. The website is as follows (It is the actual statistics on the claim that "many prominent scientists think global climate shift isn't real").

Another thing to add to Sarah Palin's illustrious record is her Christian Heritage Week as sanctioned by the Governer of Alaska.

more and more is going to come out. whole story about how she had trig isn't true. baby might actually really be bristols. she didn't go into labor, give a speech and then fly all the way to alaska from texas and then drive an hour to the hospital.
stick a fork in her she is done.kjsskm

from a post on Politico, take it for what it's worth:

"This information is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla Library Board. When the librarian refused, Palin fired her, then was forced to reinstate her when the town rallied to the librarians defence. Sarah Palin is rumoured to have a degree in journalism?

Another one to add: Palin's "legacy" to the town of Wasilla: an indoor sports arena.

If the purchase of the land had been handled properly, it would've cost $125,000. Instead, its costing the town at least $1.5 million, and they're still paying for it (9 years later).

Palin turned down a deal for the town to buy the land, and instead tried to grab it through "eminent domain" - the courts ruled against her, and its still a huge mess. Google "Palin eminent domain" and you'll get the juicy details (too many for me to go into - and I thought that republicans were generally against the government taking private land through "eminent domain?")
