It is unclear what Palin’s motives might be, but already many commentators on both sides of the political spectrum have expressed their opinion that Palin may have “committed political suicide.”

McCain vs. Obama – How their proposals could affect you

Barack Obama and John McCain

During the campaign both presidential candidates have promised us lower taxes, higher wages, lower interest rates, lower medical insurance costs, and better national security. Both of them have promised that we will be healthier, wealthier and happier if they are the President. The final winner may fulfill some, none, or all of his promises – we won’t know for sure until we are well into the next term. The real bottom line is how their policies will affect you and your family.

Biden vs. Palin – Notes on the VP debate

Joseph Biden and Sarah Palin

It was a night of Sarah Palin doing Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin.

Palin’s unique character was on full display as she refered to Saturday afternoon soccer games and used phrases like “darn right,” “you betcha,” and “doggone it.” She even winked at the audience several times as she spoke in her exaggerated midwestern twang. Her approach often appeared condescending, almost as if she was speaking to a group of elementary school kids rather than a nationwide audience of potential voters.

Sarah Palin's TrooperGate=McCain's Watergate?

Sarah Palin, Vice Presidential candidate

It may not bring down the government and halt the business of Washington for months like Watergate did, but it could very easily either upset John McCain’s quest for the Presidency or result in the impeachment of [...]

Lies are still lies, no matter how many times they're told

Sarah Palin and John McCain check their script.

I continue to watch the evening news, barely able to believe my eyes and ears. The two Republican candidates for the highest offices of our country are openly lying to us – and they know it. Every night the news channels show John McCain and Sarah Palin out on the campaign trail giving the same [...]
