    I am growing increasingly suspicious of Palin not releasing her medical records. Not sure if we've talked about this.

    http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn…

    At this point, very few things would surprise me. I wouldn't doubt that her new baby isn't hers, that her medical records can't prove that she gave birth to a child in the last four years, and, like many people point out in the blog comments above, that it's highly suspect she was pregnant before she got married, which would make her an incredible hypocrite to the evangelicals that support their campaign.

    • growing? Just now?! I don't believe that baby is hers.monkeyshine
  • mikotondria30

    I don't care if she IS a hypocrite, has had 10 different children by 20 different men, out of wedlock or under a bus, she's just tediously not worthy.. I can't even get angry at or about her, she's just literally a soccer mom who might make a good school teacher in a little town, but nothing else. Ever. Anywhere, anyone who thinks, or more fundamentally ACTS based upon any different conclusion is

    Shocking, all these pollsters try to demoralize the Rep's with incredulous margins for Obama, then all of a sudden “tighten” at the end when their "so-called" reputations are on the line.

  • monkeyshine0

    To cover your bases...you could bet oh let's say $500 on McCain to win the election...if he somehow miraculously does then you will have money to leave the country. :)

    • wait, weren't the Baldwin Bro's supposed to move to the EU or CA?

    If you really thought McCain was gonna win, you should put some money down on it in the prediction markets, you could become a rich man overnight:D

    • Betting on an election is foolish. How many elections were called too early? How about vote, then gloat?

    "The White House said Bush is busy with the financial crisis, two wars and the upcoming transition to a new administration. The economy and recent hurricanes on the Gulf Coast prompted Bush to cancel appearances at fundraisers."

  • TheBlueOne0

    "After Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, it was common for right-wingers to argue that he wasn't elected 'legitimately' because he'd won with less than 50 percent of the vote, thanks to Ross Perot.

    Of course, you didn't hear that much after 2000, when Bush won the White House without even winning the popular vote.

    Now that they're on the verge of getting an ass-kicking of historic proportions, they're warming up that familiar refrain. 'Obama doesn't have a mandate' they will say. They're already starting. The 'socialist' stuff is just the beginning. They will get into a froth soon enough."

    • would you expect anything else out of any party? this entire thread is a Bush complaint.
