Elsewhere: No Press for Palin
Marc Ambinder reports that Sarah Palin will not speak to the press until she's ready, which could take awhile.
Although she may eventually appear on soft news shows before the election, Oprah won't be one of them.
The Alaska Legislature is trying to speed up its investigation into Palin's Troopergate, which was originally scheduled to end on October 31, just days before the general election.
John McCain is now just outright wrong about what Palin did with the gubernatorial plane.
Not surprisingly, Hillary Clinton supporters are not being drawn to McCain by Palin.
The Financial Times calls McCain's speech last night "an anti-climax."
800 people were arrested in protests during the Republican National Convention.
The Minneapolis City Council wants an investigation into police conduct.
Matt Haber takes not of the publicity the protesters who disrupted McCain's speech are getting today.
Ted Stevens is suddenly polling much better than he was three weeks ago.
Vanity Fair parses the Trig Palin conspiracy theory.
Streetsblog does not approve of what Palin has done with transportation and development policy in Wasilla.
Union 1199 endorsed Dan Squadron over incumbent State Senator Marty Connor.
David Paterson sent a letter to state agencies telling them not to increase spending next year.
On September 17, State Senator Bill Perkins will hold a hearing on eminent domain.
The Hill looks at New York's Congressional primaries.
The Albany Project reports from the debate between Congressional candidates Jon Powers and Alice Kryzan (the third candidate, Jack Davis, did not attend).
Buffalo Pundit is amused that in trying to attack Powers' funding, his Davis is basically providing free advertising for a strip club.
The Staten Island Advance has video of Rudy Giuliani being heckled on the set of Hardball.
Everyoone helping the Senate Repubs (Bloomberg and 1199) is helping Squadron
funny that
Give me a break! This whole Troopergate thing is nothing but a witch hunt—Governor Palin did nothing wrong, the person at fault is Monegan for not firing this maniac state trooper Mike Wooten.
And the person in charge of the investigation, Hollis French, has been exposed as a partisan Democrat Obama supporter who has leaked information damaging to Governor Palin. http://www.notwrightforamerica.com has the details that you won't get from the liberal media, Flopping Aces has a good post on this too.
Sara Palin is straight up a puppet for John McCain. Anyone can read a speak written for them and sound great. Sara is a fake and not talking to the press has caused me to not even consider voting for McCain. Remember Mr. McCain whatever is done in the dark will always come to light.
This whole thing is so bizarre to me. It's like being in a bad dream and not being able to wake up. Palin was virtually unknown outside of Alaska just ONE week ago. A woman, who in her own words "wondered what it is a Vice President does all day". A woman who wants to deny women the right to terminate a pregnancy even if conception occurs as a result of rape or incest.
Now, she's more popular than Obama or McCain. What does that say about the mindset of voters in this country. I've heard people express how much they love her, her kids, even her parents...who've only been shown on TV once at the RNC and have never uttered a word (as far as an interview goes) So what is it about her that has endeared her to so many people.
The scandalous baggage that accompanies her nomination is as lengthy as the Bering Strait...yet she's almost revered by many woman and some men that have been interviewed since the announcement by McCain that she would be his running mate.
The "maverick" is looking more and more like a sidekick...merely going along with the powers that be...he says and does whatever he thinks his champions want to hear. Just like calling lobbyists 'birds of prey' which is a total contradiction to what his true ties with these unnecessary evils in Washington are.
Come on America...are we so shallow that a pretty face is all it takes to win us over? Gov. Palin hasn't given not ONE interview outlining her plans for this country as VP since McCain picked her....only pre-written rhetoric aimed at tearing down the Democratic nominee and his party.
Listen you Liberals --- Hillary Clinton did not speak to the Press for months after she was elected US Senator - she only read prepared speeches. Of course you idiots forgot this or don't want to mention it. Palin is going to be our next VP - like it or not.
PALIN IS HOT.
OBAMA IS NOT.
I WANT A SEXY VP FOR FOUR YEARS.
EVERY MAN SHOULD VOTE WITH HIS ...OTHER... HEAD.
I AM OBAMA, AND I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE.
VOTE EBONY AND IVORY 2008.
