Sarah’s radio interview with Hugh Hewitt: Hugh Hewitt: Governor, your candidacy has ignited extreme hostility, even some hatred on the left and in some parts of the media. Are you surprised? And what do you attribute this reaction to? Sarah Palin: I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying, “You know what? It’s time … Read More

Palin will give non-answers.  So says someone who debated Palin two dozen times when he ran for Alaska governor in 2006: Palin is a master of the nonanswer. She can turn a 60-second response to a query about her specific solutions to healthcare challenges into a folksy story about how she’s met people on the campaign trail who face healthcare … Read More

Stumped by a slow ball question (what specific newspapers and magazines does she read…), Sarah Palin bluffs and gets defensive about Alaska not being a foreign country (which is beside the point…): UPDATE:  The rightwing brainiacs at The Corner have figured it out: The e-mails are coming in.

This one is particularly painful: COURIC: You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that? PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land– boundary that we have with– Canada. It– it’s funny that a comment like that was– kind of … Read More

I’m not the only one who has noticed McCain’s droopy left eye these past few days.

For those following the news today, you know that McCain announced he was suspending his campaign to deal with the economic crisis.  And — oh, yeah — he wants to postpone Friday’s debate with Obama. The polls today show Obama "breaking the tie" and pulling ahead nationally by 4 points.  He’s also doing well in important swing states. McCain now … Read More
