If you missed Amy Poehler's rap performance (which some insiders say Palin was supposed to deliver herself), then you must watch the video clip on You Tube as it was brilliantly funny.

Weekend Update October 18th

Politics has become porn. Negative campaigning is its biggest star.

Palin tones it down in Roswell. The crowd does the rest
By Ben Wright
With “Eye of the Tiger” blaring from the speaker-system, Palin emerged to an enraptured crowd, waving with one hand and holding her baby son, Trig, in the other. The combination of mother-child-politico to soundtrack was part movie, part revival and part Latin-American revolution.

"USA! USA! USA!"

There is something I find creepy about seeing elected officials and presidential candidates cultivating the deep boom of the masses in nationalistic mantras. Such mantras need no qualification, no thought, no nuance and most importantly, no humility. They require only guttural emotion.

The Ridiculous Sarah Palin
The opinion of many to the left and right is that Ms. Palin was a parlor trick in response to Mr. Obama's flashy Democratic Convention. The problem is that a trick is just that. I would imagine the race would be in a very different place if Mr. Romney was McCain's VP pick.
Ms. Palin has close ties to the some pretty interesting people in Wasilla.
Google: Steve Stoll and Palin.
Extreme? Anti-American? You must judge for yourself.
PLEASE do your own research.
This Woman Could Become President.
Over the past year McCain, Obama and Biden have all been raked over the media coals.
She will not take any real questions.
Please do your own research.

This woman is unfit to be elected to such a high office. It is interesting to note how the die-hard Republicans are pretending she's okay with them. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost. Guys... it's our turn.

NO ONE yet has been able to coherently say why Obama is qualified to be president other than the empty rattling of "hope y change"
I can't wait to hear......

I will explain to everyone what Experience means, and why obama has none. First of all, when saying sarah is inexperienced, consider she is a first term governor. But if you look at days in office, she sits in the neighborhood of some 656 days in office, and has drafted 7 pieces of legislation on her own, not to mention signed up and vetod hundreds of others, which I cant even begin to get into, started the committee on energy ethics in Alaska, has governed a state with more natural resources and money flow than any other, is commander in chief on Alaska national guard, which is one of the only ACTIVE DUTY sector of national guards in the nation, while most remain part time.
She unseated incumbent Frank Murkowski in her bid for governor and has successfully kept Alaska’s economy afloat in the middle of the financial crisis. If you don’t believe me, look at our (Alaska's) mortgage failure rates, half that of those in the rest of the country, and on top of that, she signed into effect the legislation that got Alaskans $1,200 recently. She took a budget surplus and put it back in the people’s pockets, not BS tax cuts or credit. She gave cash to stimulate the working people of Alaska.
AGAIN LET ME SAY, SHE DRAFTED THAT HERSELF, SOMETHING OBAMA HAS YET TO DO AS A FIRST TERM SENATOR.
Now lets get onto barack obama and his experience, limited as it is. Sure he has been a senator since 2004, but he only spent 173 DAYS AS A SENATOR BEFORE LEAVING HIS WORK IN THE SENATE TO PREP FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. Has never written a piece of legislation and has voted 94 times to raise taxes on those making 42k or less, which im sure everyone reading here makes. If anyone could come out and say what they like obama for, I would gladly like to hear it, other than “I just like him.” Give me real issues and I'll give you real facts, which I will gladly support with sources
And Biden, who has never truly taken a stance on anything, presides over a state that is smaller than a city in Alaska
Anchorage square miles - 1957
The STATE OF DELAWARE - 1913
Biden even came out himself and said obama isn’t ready to be commander in chief (president) in his run AGAINST obama in the democratic primaries. To quote my favorite show: “that’s called flip-flopping mac, that’s what democrats do”
Anyone ever looked up what a gaffe is, you do and you will find joe biden’s face
