Article Details: And so we bid farewell to Sarah Palin. How I'll miss her daily presence in my life! The mooseburgers, the wolf hunts, the kids named after bays and sports and trees and airplanes and who did not seem to go to school at all, the winks and blinks, the cute Alaska accent, the witch-hunting pastor and those great little flared jackets, especially the gray stripey one. People say she was a dingbat, but that is just sexist.

Article Details: Now that the 2008 election is over, reporters are spilling all the juciest, and previously off the record, gossip from the campaign trail. Perhaps one of the most astounding and previously unknown tidbits about Sarah Palin has to do with her already dubious grasp of geography. According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, she "didn't understand that Africa was a continent".

Article Details: A former Republican Secretary of State and one of John McCain's most prominent supporters offered a stunningly frank and remarkably bleak assessment of Sarah Palin's capacity to handle the presidency should such a scenario arise. Lawrence Eagleburger, who served as Secretary of State under George H.W. Bush said on Thursday that the Alaska governor is not only unprepared to take over the job on a moment's notice but, even after some time in office, would only amount to an "adequate" commander in

Article Details: Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain. And Sarah Palin, despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown,

Article Details: The blame game over John McCain's increasingly bleak presidential fortunes started in earnest this past week, with anonymous campaign insiders leaking sometimes withering indictments of strategy and personnel. Emerging from the circular firing squad is a consistent theme: Sarah Palin's allies appear irritated over the handling of her candidacy while McCain insiders have come to view the Alaska Governor as remarkably self-serving.

Once again, polls show the state is deadlocked -- and once again, there's a very real possibility that a lot of people who support the Democratic candidate could have trouble voting.

Article Details: Since Gov. Sarah Palin became the Republican vice presidential candidate, she’s been shaped to fit a new image. From debate boot camp at Sen. McCain’s Arizona ranch to a high-end makeover costing $150,000, the Palin on the national campaign trail is not the woman politician that voters here remember. The governor of Alaska seems transformed after a team of seasoned advisers helped craft a new political persona for her. She is not the hockey mom-turned politician they once knew.

Article Details: Who do you want to run your country? You want a statesmen running things, that's who. Everytime a Republican uses the word elite like its a bad word, I cringe. Why do they do that? Elite (also spelled Élite) is taken originally from the Latin, eligere, "to elect". The position of an elite at the top of the social strata almost invariably puts it in a position of leadership. So you want the elite to run our country. By definition!!! Who else? Let's break down our options.

Since she is good at proclaiming that the American people need to know who Barack Obama is, the American people deserve to hear Palin answer if her husband, Todd, a former member of the Alaska Independence Party, agreed with its founder, who wanted to secede from the union.

Article Details: In a TV ad, McCain says Obama "lied" about his association with William Ayers, a former bomb-setting, anti-war radical from the 1960s and '70s. We find McCain's claim to be groundless. Nothing Obama said previously has been shown to be false. In a Web ad and in repeated attacks from the stump, McCain describes the two as associates, and Palin claims they "pal around" together. But so far as is known, their relationship was never very close.

Article Details: McCain's lost that [the maverick image]. It started with policy reversals, was amplified by the outright lies of the campaign, and culminated in the cynical, reckless, and politics-over-country choice of a running mate who is dangerously unprepared to step into the presidency. How could a man of seemingly deep conviction morph into this caricature? His campaign is empty, with no spiritual or intellectual core; its tactics have devolved into a series
