The facts are that Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions as a Mayor and Governor than Barack Obama has made in his life. Because of Hillary Clinton's historic run for the Presidency and the treatment she received, American women are more highly tuned than ever to recognize and decry sexism in all its forms. They will not tolerate sexist treatment of Governor Palin.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CARLY IT’S US WOMEN THAT ARE CALLING OUT PALIN WE ARE THE ONES WITH THE PROBLEM, NOT OBAMA&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WAKE UP MCCAIN IT'S THE WOMEN OF AMERICA ALMOST 100% WEIGHING IN AND YOU CAN'T HIDE BEHIND SEN.

Sarah Palin of Alaska? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Alaska state senator running an investigation of Gov. Palin says the McCain campaign is using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31, four days before the November election.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;It's likely to be damaging to the Governor,&amp;quot; said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat, appointed the project manager for a bi-partisan State Senate Legislative Counsel Committee investigation of claims that Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An Anchorage Daily News story suggests that Palin's lawyer is helping stall the investigation. He's trying to get the probe into the hands of a governor-appointed board:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The state has hired a private lawyer to represent Gov. Sarah Palin's office in the Legislature's investigation into the firing of former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The lawyer already has challenged whether lawmakers even have authority to oversee the inquiry. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Van Flein said the investigation should be handled by the state Personnel Board, not the Legislature, because it's &amp;quot;statutorily mandated&amp;quot; to handle ethics cases. The three-member Personnel Board is appointed by the governor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And he's making it difficult for Special Counsel Steve Branchflower to interview Palin:&lt;br&gt;Branchflower hasn't been able to set up an interview with Palin. French said the state will fly Branchflower to wherever Palin is on the campaign trail if needed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Clearly the governor's new political role will make it more challenging for her to make time for this investigation,&amp;quot; French wrote. But Palin needs to be interviewed sometime in September, he said.&lt;br&gt;Van Flein said the investigation is &amp;quot;bad timing&amp;quot; in the middle of a presidential campaign. He said he couldn't guarantee her availability this month.&lt;br&gt;If witnesses don't become available, French says, he'll ask for subpoenas. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Biden vouches for Obama on Israel</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/02/1327751.aspx#1328031</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:08:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1328031</guid><dc:creator>idtt, laurel, md</dc:creator><description>Here you have Sen Biden and Sen Obama talking about limits and common decency when fringe elements of their supporters go on the attack. &amp;nbsp;Compare that to Sen McCain's continued non-response to some of the fringe elements of his supporters (I'm one of those who believe most of the more sustained attacks are from fringe Sen Clinton supporters, it's not her fault, it is what it is). &amp;nbsp;Anyways, can anyone tell me if Sen McCain has said anything other than &amp;quot;you've got to keep your sense of humor&amp;quot;? &amp;nbsp;This was in response to a question about the Corsi book and most likely he didn't HEAR that question. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, that's the only response I've heard. &amp;nbsp;If there are others please tell me about them. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Biden vouches for Obama on Israel</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/02/1327751.aspx#1328041</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:09:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1328041</guid><dc:creator>how are those felony charges against your son and bro, Joe</dc:creator><description>how are those felony charges against your son and bro, Joe? &amp;nbsp;You know for fraud in a hedge fund deal?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And, by the way, Joe, you said you'd been through &amp;quot;these things&amp;quot; with your own kids? &amp;nbsp;wanna share those stories with us?</description></item><item><title>Biden vouches for Obama on Israel</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/02/1327751.aspx#1328045</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:09:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1328045</guid><dc:creator>LELIA, SD</dc:creator><description>MCCAIN IT’S NOT SEN.
