Would your panelists call this “anti-American” tactic part of a bigger effort, all part of the October Surprise? Is this just a taste of more that is to come in these last 2 weeks? Does the general voters recognize this tactic for what it’s worth? Could it have an adverse effect?

Thanks,

Palin’s statement to the second and third graders in regard to the responsibilities of the V.P.
Palin to the second and third graders “They’re (the V.P.) in charge of the United States Senate if they really want to they can get in there with the Senators and make a lot of good policy changes that make life better”

When Pat Buchanan tried to make light of her statements by saying that she was talking to second and third graders Matthews responded “she is talking LIKE a second grader”

Chris Matthews also had Bill Maher on to discuss the Bachman, Palin “anti-American” politics.

Bill Maher on Matthews interview with Palin last Friday “I love it when you give enough rope to dumb people to hang themselves”
Maher referred to the Palin/Bachman politics as “being pulled out of Joe the Plumbers crack”

If you did not watch Hardball last night sure worth it

I did feel that Matthews missed the opportunity to pound on Cheney and the “barnacle” branch that he has been illegally operating out of. Wonder how many times Palin has met with Cheney? Where did she get those ideas about just what the responsibilities of the V.P. are? I guess those ideas could have been from that boat load of “horny neo-cons” Or from the way she has operated as the Governor of Alaska.

Last night’s Hardball basically focused on Palin and Bachman

In 2007, the Bureau of Labor Statistics ranked it 335 out of 369 small metropolitan areas for unemployment; for home foreclosures, according to a 2007 article in the Toledo Blade, it is the 30 worst of all cities in the nation. According to Census numbers, median household income in the Toledo area, measured in constant dollars, has actually decreased since the late 1970s.</p> Thom Frank on Joe the Plumber and GOP authenticity:
