Palin Media Poll
According to a new Rasmussen poll, 51% of the public believes the media is intentionally trying to injure Sarah Palin. Only 35% feels the coverage of her has been unbiased.
The Biden Vote Defended
If you thought Huckabee’s contention that Sarah Palin received more votes for mayor of Wasilla than Biden did for president sounded a little unlikely, that’s because it was. I don’t know where that went wrong, but I bet he meant … Continue reading

Palin Magazine Morsels

A Republican Atavism
John Podhoretz thinks the Palin speech might be among the most dazzling debuts in American political history. I don’t know about that, but I do know it was the most powerful, important, and effective speech by a vice presidential candidate … Continue reading

Reading Ahead
According to the McCain campaign via NRO, the teleprompter had a glitch throughout the entire Palin speech. It continued to roll without pause for applause and thus would have been badly out of sync for her. Had no effect at … Continue reading

Interviewing Enemies Only

Sarah Palin’s Google Bounce
When McCain named Sarah Palin his veep, she had about 500k mentions on the web according to Google, and Joe Biden mustered an impressive five million plus (I checked). A few short days later Palin has surpassed Biden with 5.8 … Continue reading

The Left’s Lost Toy
Sever Plocker: “Palin’s candidacy has irritated many among the American leftist camp, and they have been responding like a child who has seen an expensive toy being taken away from him.”
McCain Hits Back. Hard.
John McCain, in an interview with Brian Williams on Sarah Palin: “The facts are funny things. She’s been in elected office longer than Sen. Obama. She’s been the chief executive of the state that provides 20 percent of America’s energy; … Continue reading

Unvetted?
Andrew Sullivan is so hysterical about the “irresponsibility” of Sarah Palin as vice president, that he’s almost to the point of arguing that McCain didn’t even know her name until an hour before the announcement. As Neo-Neocon contends however, the … Continue reading

Down with Sullivan
Rod Dreher is “shocked, appalled” at the grotesque figure Andrew Sullivan has become, by course of his willingness to embrace any slander or argument if he perceives it to aid Obama. I’m not shocked, but I share the appalled.

Obama Defends Palin
Barack Obama has denounced and disowned the attacks by the Left on Sarah Palin’s family. A commendable action.
A Bitter Absolution for Sarah Palin
It would seem the innuendo campaign alleging the illegitimacy of Sarah Palin’s son Trig, inadvertantly uncovered a real family tragedy to media attention. As Jay Tea points out, the circumstances of that situation make it physically impossible for the campaign … Continue reading

The End of Buchananite Palin
David Bernstein puts to rest the whisper that Palin was a clandestine Buchananite. She supported Steve Forbes in 1999 (as un-Buchanan as you can get), and evidently the only source for the alleged 1995 support, is a vague recollection from … Continue reading

Anti-Palin Hysteria Expands, Degenerates
I’m beginning to sense that anti-Palin hysteria is building toward a collective psychological meltdown of truly epic proportions on the Democratic side of our political divide. Today, Democratic consultant Dan Conley angrily pushed us a little further to the brink … Continue reading

Sarah Nouveau Riche
She raised less than $500k for the Alaska governor’s race in 2006. But as McCain’s running mate, Palin’s inaugurated a seven million dollar surge in donations to the McCain campaign. Given the excitement (near ecstasy, really) on the political right … Continue reading

A Gutter-al Scream

Evolving McCain
I cited Victor Davis Hanson’s NRO post earlier in an easy defense of Palin, but there’s another point therein worth mention: Palin as agent of change for McCain, personally. On energy, [Sarah Palin] will either blunt McCain’s unreasonable opposition to … Continue reading

Running Aground Over Sarah Palin

A Swift Retreat
Obama moves to distance himself from his own campaign’s harshly antagonistic rhetoric against Palin. Commendable, but probably unwise. Palin represents a direct threat to one of Obama’s core constituencies and thus it would be to his advantage to define her … Continue reading
