’)From – heh – John Zogby, August 30, 2008:
Republican John McCain’s surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate – some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama’s historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination – has possibly stunted any Obama convention bump, the latest Zogby Interactive flash poll of the race shows.
The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.
In other words, the race is a dead heat.
As we all said back then, surely, this is good news… for John McCain.
If the comments following this articlee on Palin’s ghost-written WSJ “editorial” are any indication, her fifteen minutes are really over.
Ugh, Zogby.
You might as well ask the cat.
Repack
Comments removed. Article not found. Hmmm.
Duros,
Wow, that was quick. They were juicy.
Okay, I found it again using the search function (palin, health).
I’ll try the link again, but if this doesn’t work, search for it.
Linky.
Do you honestly think her fifteen minutes are over, Repack, or are you simply doing your usual winging it, because you guys are still very much obsessed with this particular citizen.
You’ll likely have anniversary posts on her for the next full year running, contributing to the extension of her fifteen minutes into perpetuity.
Comments from your ‘linky’:
amazed1: If Sarah Palin is against it, then I’m all FOR it.
mistressmax: who cares what she thinks or the bailed out wall street she walks on.
wcbinc: Equalizing healthcare through the tax system is an archaic method. Nearly every civilized nation already has nationalized healthcare. It’s about time.
Really juicy, Repack.
Do you honestly think her fifteen minutes are over, Repack, or are you simply doing your usual winging it, because you guys are still very much obsessed with this particular citizen.
What does that say about your obsession with O-Dub?
The fact that there are shadowy interests trying desperately to prop her up by writing vapid, useless stuff in her name shows…what? Would you suggest that she actually wrote the piece?
I was “obsessed” with The Three Stooges for a long time, because their ineptitude was comedic gold, not because I thought they should be elected to a political office. She is all three of the Stooges rolled up into one package, each new revelation tops the last for amusement value, and unlike the Stooges it’s all first-run material. THIS is someone the GOP thought could be president?
If you DON’T find her stupidity and arrogance amusing, that proves that cons have no sense of humor.
I can’t wait for the Levi Johnston Vanity Fair article. Paraphrasing LBJ, that will put her in the position of having to DENY that she had sex with pigs.
There is no better proof of obsession than that statement. You probably were glued to the television when Kathy Griffin held hands with and accompanied to him to that kids awards show.
When you were “obsessed” with the Three Stooges for that long time, Repack, at what point did you say their fifteen minutes were really over?
Really, Repack, you sound like more of a Daily Kook than the typical poster here. Shouldn’t you be gathering oppo research on Glenn Beck for Keith Olbermann’s show right now. Anything and everything, I think was the request.
Dennis, do you think her 15 munutes are up?
This citizen just got published in the Wall Street Journal. A recent Facebook post of hers was the catalyist for Democrats rewriting a provision in their health care bill. You guys are commenting about a one-year anniversary of a poll about her and her running mate from a year ago. Recent hot as shit photos and an accompanying non-political article about her in Running Magazine, of all places, was that magazine’s most popular issue ever.
What do you think, I’m a Hick?
Corection: Runners World magazine.
Dennis, valid points. But then why call others ‘obsessive’ for commenting on her?
Personally, I like her. But she reminds me of Jon Goesselin, too. Someone who had serious responsibilities, got a taste of celebrity, and decided being a full-time celebrity was more fun.
I’m a Hick,
I was just asking Repack Rider how he could square his declaring Palin’s fifteen minutes being just about over with his obsession over her? I was hoping for an interesting and truthful answer from him.
If the right had their way, she’d still have 3+ years left not only in the public eye, but in the Vice Presidency. It’s worth keeping her in the public eye for 3+ years, so we can (a)note the bullet we dodged, and (b)remember how seriously to take any arguments from anyone who supported her.
Is Dennis still obsessing over the left obsessing over Palin?
Am I still obsessing over Dennis still obsessing over the left obsessing over Palin?
Will Dennis start obsessing over me obsessing over Dennis still obsessing over the left obsessing over Palin?
You’re confusin’ me, Wil-burrrr.

Ode To Sarah Palin
by Indeed/ Mister ed
I will have you, yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you
You are an obsession, you’re my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
Also.
Get it, Indeed? Pointing out Sarah’s blinding incompetence on a national stage to one of her die-hard defenders indicates your Obsession.
I think Ms. Palin just wants some Money for Nothing, but she’s no Easy Lover. She’s just proof that Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
Indeed, as Dennis stands there shouting Take on Me, I suggest you Never Surrender.
But she reminds me of Jon Goesselin, too. Someone who had serious responsibilities, got a taste of celebrity, and decided being a full-time celebrity was more fun.
Ha ha, spot on perfect!
This citizen just got published in the Wall Street Journal.
She didn’t write it
A recent Facebook post of hers was the catalyist for Democrats rewriting a provision in their health care bill.
Ooooo, so she quit being gov so she could post on Facebook. That sounds like a wise career move to me.
You guys are commenting about a one-year anniversary of a poll about her and her running mate from a year ago.
Correct, sparky. You can read, I am proud of you.
Recent hot as shit photos and an accompanying non-political article about her in Running Magazine, of all places, was that magazine’s most popular issue ever
You haven’t gotten laid in how long?
To paraphrase the great Phil Ochs (damn, I wish he was alive):
Here’s to the land you might’ve torn out the heart of
Sarah Palin, find yourself another country to be part of!
You’re confusin’ me, Wil-burrrr.
I can’t take credit for that, De-nisssss, you were confused long before I met you.
I certainly hope she doesn’t go away, since she ensures a Dem landslide victory in 2012. But I still don’t see how she presents herself as a serious presidential candidate who quit her last job. It’s been a few months now, and she hasn’t relocated to New York or gotten a show on FOX. There’s no telling what her logic was, since I don’t think there was any beyond “make lots of money.”
What Jaim said, Dennis.
The longer we can keep her on the national stage, the more chances she will have to show what a loon she is, but the more energy she will absorb before she crashes and the harder she will hit the ground. Without conceding that we do, we are certainly entitled to “obsess” about the biggest gift our opposition ever provided us as long as she gives us the opportunity.
More Sarah, and pass the popcorn.
Holy crap! Obama called Dennis a liar tonight!
Dennis: The Washington Post published a front-page story slamming the speech as a partisan political ploy.
Yes. Every time she thrusts herself into the spotlight, we laugh. Our obsession is obvious.
OK, that post was weird. What the hell was in my clipboard buffer?
Fixed:
Dennis: because you guys are still very much obsessed with this particular citizen.
Yes. Every time she thrusts herself into the spotlight, we laugh. Our obsession is obvious.
