Alaska's largest newspaper endorses Obama! The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper declaring Gov. Sarah Palin "too risky"

You have to love it when the state she "runs" doesn't endorse her? Who wants to bet that she has a personal vendetta against them starting next Wednesday when she goes back after losing the election?

So their is a newspaper in the country that the neocons do not own, unbelievable.

Oh yes, "too risky" is a nice way of putting it I think.

I think the finger pointing has already begun.

The Anchorage paper seems to lean a little left. Alaska is not the huge red monlith people think it is. There are plenty of Democrats and plenty of people who don't like Palin all that much. Picking her as a VP candidate can only hurt her at home because everyone sees what she is with a very fine microscope. Just because she's more honest than the ones who came before her doesn't mean she's ethical. And handing out thousand-dollar checks can go a long way toward making you popular.

Selene,
For Palin this is a severe blow, proving only what everyone has been saying since day one, that this woman to too risky to enter the second highest office in the Nation! Now openly confirmed by her own Alaskan Newspaper! Wow unbelievable!

Go Obama!

WooHoo. Glad to hear this! She's just not qualified enough.

The Alaskan people have come to the realization if backing Palin and the McCain debacle, it would only bring further devastation to our Great Nation! McCain's erratic behavior during this crisis apparently have frightened many! Woohoo! Go Obama!

Thanks for your comment Nicole! Have a great day!

This is just another example of the liberal, elite media unfairly picking on Joe-six-pack, hockey mom. She's just an average, every-day person who doesn't really read much or keep up with politics and world events. Who cares? She represents millions upon millions of oridinary Americans who are exactly the same as her.

We don't need no stinkin intellectual in the White House. We need a moose huntin, wolf shootin maverick to shake things up in Washington.

Freddie - do I detect a note of sarcasm in your post?

It made me laugh to see this story. That must have pissed her off something royal.

Bob, I bet Palin is in shock and awe! Palin might face losing her governors seat, if she messes with the people of Alaska and tries to retaliate! Believe me she will not for if she does, this will forever kill her political ambitions for the future, I do not believe even she is that stupid. ??? Are is she?

Thanks for your Comment! Have a great day!

Go Obama!

Robin, I can see now, McCain writing his memoir about his failing campaign! He will blame everyone around him, including his wonderful 'Risky' running mate! What a huge blow!

I simply love it!

Have a nice day! Thanks for your comment.

"She's just an average, every-day person who doesn't really read much or keep up with politics and world events."

HAHAHAhahhaaa....just what we need, eh? Oh man...experience, skill, and education really scare some people. I hope to high heavens we can get someone NOT average at such a time as this!

"So their is a newspaper in the country that the neocons do not own, unbelievable. "
I'm a bit amazed too. Especially in Alaska.

"Alaska is not the huge red monlith people think it is."
Yes it is.

McCain head advisors are calling Palin a selfish Diva, that is striking out on her own, and only trying to distance herself from McCain for her own future political ambitions! Ask me why I am not surprised?

Thank you all for your comments and have a great day!

I see I had a hit and run on the rating, great! I guess they did not like what the Alaskan paper had to say! Little do they know I care nothing about ratings, I am here to spread the cold hard truth around, apparently it hurt and was hard to swallow, the only backlash they had available was to slash the ratings! What, nothing left better in their little bag of tricks? I love it!

Ya'll come back now!

Go Obama!

The DB is has always been considered a badge of honor to me! :)

Hmmm, interesting.... Sarah Palin is too inexperienced for the No. 2 spot. Yet Obama has no more experience than her and he wants the presidency??? At least Palin has some executive experience, which you can't say for Obama. For those worried about her lack of experience, at least it would not become a factor unless the president died. We'll have Obama and his reckless rhetoric coaxing the international bad guys into testing him from day one. His own running mate tells us that much.

Biden likened the 'for certain' test that Obama will face w/in the first 6 months to JFKs Cuban Missile Crisis test. Problem is, JKF had both wartime experience and a good deal more political experience than Obama. And, don't forget WHY he faced the missile crisis test: because Nikita Khrushev STILL thought he was weak and inexperienced, and thought the USSR could advance their ambitions and JFK would be too weak to stand up to them.

You say, well, we came through that one OK, didn't we?...

How many times do you want to roll THOSE dice and hope they don't come up with the nuclear 'snake eyes'? I for one want someone in that White House who understands the enemies we face and won't let them mistakenly perceive us as 'weak' and in need of 'testing'.

We don't need 'Laurel & Hardy Meets Ghengis Khan'. --- PLEASE take a critical look at who we're electing! John McCain may not be the perfect candidate (we'll never have that as long as our system continues to so thoroughly eviscerate anyone who steps up to the plate), but he'll certainly be far more successful at keeping us safe than Obama/Biden will.

The same here Doyle!

Thanks for your comment and have a great day!

The Hartford Courant just endorsed Obama - only the second Dem presidential endorsement they've made in over 244 years.

The Chicago Tribune, which has never endorsed a Democat in its entire history, has endorsed Obama.

McCain may not have had a formal command, by virtue of the fact that he spent so much of the war in the POW camp, but that was no less of a 'command' than one formally issued by the Pentagon. As a senior officer of the men in confinement, he was tested and not found wanting. He had the opportunity to leave early, but declined because he would not leave without his men.

With respect to the people who will surround Obama as president to advise him, that offers no comfort. He has shown a propensity to surround himself with people who are very worrisome (Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, to name but a few). What makes you think he will surround himself with so much better a calibre of people in the White House?

Guys did you have a chance to listen to Obama's wonderful speech in Ohio today, it was truly inspiring, full of hope, and very powerful! Wow, it had me on the edge of my seat, making me even more proud to be an American! I believe anyone hearing this man's passion would not hesitate to vote for him! I found it truly inspiring and most memorable! It was awesome!

Go Obama!

Thanks for sharing!

Talk about being thrown under the bus!

Steve,

Obama has explained both past associations repeatedly. Why do some insist on harping about such past foolishness? People need to see beyond the political tools, although McCain has used both as a political spin to try and win the oval office. McCain said himself during his campaign Obama is a good decent family man and an American citizen, none should be afraid if he was to become president!

Respectfully Steve use logic, and bypass all the political spin. This kind of pumped rhetoric is often used by most candidates running for office. Look at the real issues, which matter and will be in the best interest for you, your family and the country. Than choose the candidate, you believe better equipped for the job.

My personal stance is the American people need a intelligent, calm steadfast leader as Obama, he will unite the American people and help put this country back on the road to prosperity! Obama has the support and backing of some of the most brilliant minds in America! He is highly respected and loved by the majority of the American people! So, My vote will go for Senator Obama!

They are still cautious about what they are saying. Palin has proven throughout her entire "political experience" that she is a walking-talking-living-breathing sespool. She took down the former governor and oil ceo's only so she could do the same thing with her own pals. The people love her up there because she cut taxes by 76% and claimed "lets be free from federal influence" while accepting federal money for stupid projects (I dont mean bridge to nowjere, either). She may be "willing to take on good old boy network" yet she just wants to turn our government into a freakin sorority! Its bad enough those kind of women run the PTA but I refuse to stand by and let her infiltrate D.C. with her middle-american a**hole views.

You have a good point Bob C. from looking at her past experience with people that "disagree" with her-the one(s) who wrote that column will be fired.

A few minutes ago, I was listening to John McCain in one of his rallies, it was so funny! He stated he would veto every pork.... that crossed his desk, he continued there will be no more bridges to no where! Do you think he was talking to his beloved Palin?

The media is reporting there is a lot of blame and finger pointing in the McCain's failing Camp, especially toward Palin! It's been reported some of McCain's top advisors is very angry with Palin. They are openly expressing their dismay, all calling her a Diva and a Rogue. My, My how things change...first she the best thing that happen to the Republican base, now she's a rogue! I wander why the sudden change of heart?

Billy, I think with all the publicity when the firing of that official, she is likely to think twice before again going that route. The columnist would carry it all over the news, dampening even more her political future ambitions. But who knows, she might just be so angry, she will continue to dig her hole deeper!

Everyone thanks for your comments!

N.K. Amen! Beautifully said...

That several, historically GOP-leaning, news papers have come out with Obama endorsements is telling. The Ancourage might, for the major paper in a seriously Republilcan state, be the most courageous.

It will be interesting to see if any of these make a difference. Most people I know decided their votes a while ago and many (me included) have already voted.

When your own newspaper is against you, that in itself tells the true story about this woman and her failings.

It is pretty clear that anyone that's doing any thinking supports Obama.

I don't like saying things about McCain, I want to think the best of him, but he has made a lot of mistakes, the biggest one has been Palin. He flip-flops around on Constitutional issues to gain the support of the hardline Republican party leaders until I don't know what he stands for anymore - not to mention his pathetic attacks on Obama over trivialities. I don't want him or the Republicans in the White House.

What are Republicans thinking?

Could it be that Governor Palin put them in their place????

Andrea, I am not understanding what you meant by your comment, but it seems her own newspaper has put Palin in her place! She is simply unqualified!
