John Edwards and his inner circle repeatedly questioned Sen. John Kerry's strategy in 2004, and Kerry loyalists repeatedly aired in public their view that Edwards would not play the traditional attack dog role with relish because he wanted to protect his future political interests.

Even in a winning campaign like Bill Clinton's, some of Al Gore's aides in 1992 and again in 1996 questioned how Gore was being scheduled for campaign events.

Jack Kemp's aides distrusted the Bob Dole camp and vice versa, and Dan Quayle loyalists had a list of gripes remarkably similar to those now being aired by Gov. Palin's aides.

Didn't McCain say he'd found his soul mate?

theres alot of problems in the mccain camp with Palin. I bet he is regretting his decision. Looks like theres even more problems coming after the latest investigation with her so called gas pipeline.

but then the in-fightng could be the result of them thinking they are on the losing team. remember its the "not me" generation.

I just read about the gas line contract.... interresting story.

http://www.myembarq.com/news/read.ph...&cps=0&lang=en

This is just what the country needs.... another 4yrs of Republican influence is absolute insanity. Does John and Sarah really care about the average person?? I am tired of McLame saying he has faith in the "working class" . Well, he better have!! Corporate America has been supported on the backs of the working class far too long and the greed of the business sector has finally taken its toll. The little guy needs the break that he/she deserves for being the real backbone of our country, or we could entrust the future to John and it will be business as usual..... sorry, little guy.... we MUST keep you in your place.... business has to come first. We can trust them...they only have the best interest of the country in mind.

"So too did the depletion of Alaska's long-reliable reserves of oil, which are trapped in the same Arctic Circle reservoirs as clean-burning natural gas. Not only does that oil provide jobs, it pays for an annual dividend check to nearly every Alaska resident. This year's payment was $2,069, 25 percent higher than 2007 — plus a $1,200 bonus rebate to help offset higher energy costs."

The preceding excerpt was from the news article.... can anyone explain how this cannot be considered socialism? I thought Obama was the socialist...

Who's in your wallet?? (think about the CC commercial...... I think that should be the real closing line)

I just noticed the ad at the top of the page (and the bottom)

Maverick???? More like a loose cannon.... comes in mighty handy if you want to sink your own ship!!!

A vote for McCain????.................INSANE!!!!

As old as McCain is, he'd likely be one term. Win, lose, or draw, Sarah Palin will be at the top of the GOP ticket in 2012.

**EnglishPaul** · 10-27-2008, 02:08 PM

Do you really think she will be at the top?

Until a few months ago she was only a small footnote in the political scandal pages.

Nope, I think hockey mum will go back to watching hockey. And soon she will have a grandchild to look after. And chances are that Alaska will be one step closer to independence.

Now that is a scary thought for someone like me who would like to see the Republican Party make a comeback . .

Certainly possible bry, but I don't think it's likely. Even in Alaska her popularity is declining, and you and I both know she's going to get nailed for ethics violations. Palin has shown herself to be poorly informed (fixable, but first impressions are the most lasting). She sees herself as invariably correct, and seems willing to bend or break any rules that get in her way. She appoints friends to state jobs for which they have no qualifications. I don't think she'll play any better with the general electorate in 4 years than she does now. If Republicans want a shot at regaining the Presidency in 2012 (yep, I think the election's already decided) they are really going to need to find a more genuinely centrist candidate, and one with less nasty brown stuff stuck to their shoes.
