She eats mooseburgers in a skirt.

If we could have one these scandals everyday up until the election, that would be wonderful.  

I am pleasantly surprised that the MSM is digging into this so hard.

I wonder if it will cut through the Pundit Love Fest going on for Governor Palin at the moment.

Right now, if you didn't know any of this OR her hard right ideological views, you might think she is some female version of Teddy Roosevelt, straight from the Bull Moose Party.

Playing politics with public safety?  Palin should have hired Michael "hell of a job" Brown when he became "available" three years ago.

well, mccain did shift things away from obama, just not in the way he wanted.  pwned!

posted this helpful timeline of Palin's actions as city council member and mayor of Wasilla:

Her selection makes a mockery of McCain's "Country first" slogan.

As everyday passes by it becomes more and more clear that she was not properly vetted.  McCain would be stupid not to ask her to step down, rather than continue the daily discoveries that are harming the campaign and the GOP.

Just say yes to drunk drivers, yes to all guns and no to planned parenting!  Palin! Palin! McInsane!

Not to mention the fact that she did not vet her replacement for Monegan and then had to fire him 2 weeks later.

Sounds familiar...

Hopefully that position wasn't too important because they have gone a long while without an effective leader.

Last call at 5:00 AM? Sheesh. Some hard drinkers there in fundie town.

What we need is evidence that Wasila somehow became less safe. Otherwise, this is about a thin an allegation as one can make. But keep it coming.  What is lacking in substance can be made up in volume.

Jonathan, she also replaced Monegan with someone with a documented record of sexual harassment, who lasted two weeks on the job.

Palin AIP youtubes disappearing fast..

I am also encouraged to see the media continuing to dig (I would especially like to know more about librarian-gate) and I hope that continues despite McCain's transparent attempt to cow the media with claims of bias and sexism.  But I have a genuine question about whether the rising tide of stories has an overall positive or negative impact.  On the positive side, maybe people see the growing cloud of stories and conclude,  even if they don't understand all of the allegations and can't really sift through them, that there is just too much uncertainty about Palin and too much doubt about McCain's judgment for picking her.  On the negative side, maybe people see the growing cloud of stories and start to glaze over and tune it all out, and conclude that the left is just throwing the kitchen sink at Palin to see what will stick.  In other words, is it better to hit her with a drip, drip, drip of the deadliest stuff (with the risk that McCain could define her in the meantime so she has some footing and can better weather each attack), or try to swamp her with a wave of good, bad and nonsense (with the risk that people will tune it all out as noise).

Can't we frame up a good narrative about her with a couple of really strong storylines, and paste in the new information as it emerges.  Forget her inexperience (total boomerang issue) and her family issues (who cares), and let's go right after her strengths and hear more about these Sarah Palins:

1.  Sarah Palin is a radical culture-war extremist, who was nearly run out of office for trying to fire a librarian who refused to ban books; who believes that the Iraq war is a crusade for God (4 more years!); who would outlaw abortions even in cases of rape; and who attended a convention for a fringe secessionist political party.

2.  Sarah Palin is a cynical politician who is corrupt (abused her office to further personal vendettas and lied about it until confronted with evidence) and opportunistic (supported Ted Stevens until it was politically expedient to disavow him; supported the bridge to nowhere until it was politically expedient to disavow it; supported earmarks until it was politically expedient to disavow them; and lied about all of these things in her first speech to the nation).

"Still, I find it staggering that two out of three women say Palin is unqualified to be president, and that more women say the choice of Palin makes them LESS likely to vote for McCain, while more men say it makes them MORE likely."--Jim Ledbetter, Slate.
