Palin does not and could not come up with an original thought in her brain because the McCain/Bushies have to right the script for her. The resurgitation of lies catches up to you after awhile.

"A campaign advisor rejected the notion that the absence of the line is a tacit concession that Palin's claims about the bridge project have been misleading."

Excuse me, could you please "grow some" in the words of SNL's Amy Poehler/Clinton. The line wasn't misleading, it was a LIE! Look at her September 21, 2007 press release, where she blames the death of the project on Congresses unwillingness to fund the bridge!

Gosh, she wore out the lie of thanks but no thanks,
but don't fret will has and will find many more
to take their place.
First read, you dont't show any news of the day
until late afternoon and guess what, they are
all about Palin or negative to Obama.
Would have had more integrity if you just kept
quiet.

Hey First Read, how about the $27 million "road to nowhere" Palin got earmarks for? A gravel road costing $27 mil? How long is this road?

Tackman San Diego, Ca — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:17:16 GMT

Hmmm...let's think about this. Sarah Palin for weeks has been insisting that she's a maverick because she cuts earmarks, citing the "Bridge to Nowhere" over and over as Exhibit A. Yet there's plenty of video proof that it's not true, she supported the Bridge while running for Governor and it was Congress that cut it. So she finally stopped saying something about the past that was clearly, objectively untrue.

Now she chastises Obama for not laying out a specific plan to manage the largest and most complex financial crisis in history while its resolution is being hammered out as we speak in the Treasury Department and Congress. He's being patient about a delicate and dynamic problem with huge implications. How quickly do you think the McCain Campaign would pounce on there being "one President at a time" if Obama did insist on a specific proposal? We seek bipartisan ideas for a long-term solution to a complex problem that few insiders even understand, and Palin is disappointed that Obama didn't skew it with election politics?

Sure we know McCain said the fundamentals of the economy were strong...until he said the next day we were in an economic crisis. He said the government shouldn't bail out AIG...until that decision was made and he agreed that it was necessary. We know McCain and Phil Gramm have a relentless record of pushing for deregulation...until that has become the problem with the banking and financial industries and he now agrees that goverment regulation is necessary. I'd rather have Obama remain calm and patient while the resolution is still in process than have McCain take opposite positions every other day. We're learning a lot about leadership style here.

Threw "Fear", she grab's her man's rope and threw's it down the well to save it. (It hook's on to a rock), and she pull's and pull's, until finally the rope break's. She fall's on her back side, and look's up and see's the moon in the sky......and say's, good to been of service.....

And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you in Alaska. This just shows how much the McCain campaign disrespects the American voter and thinks that we are stupid.

The "Country First" man has selected a novice and political idiologue to be his running mate and potentially a president. I believe that he could have done better going door-to-door in a random suburban community asking "would you like to be VP?"

McCain's choice for VP was all about energizing his failing campaign; no thought was given to who would take over as president if McCain should be disabled or die.

"The advisor suggests this is just the normal course of varying the stump speech and that we may hear reference to the bridge again soon."

Doubtful. Mrs. Palin is crafty and shrill, but she's not inherently smart (smarmy is not the same thing as intelligent, or even creative). Mrs. Palin finally took enough heat from those floating her new lifestyle that she realized she might consider curbing the outright lies. It'll be interesting to witness the process of how she is also told to reconstruct an image where she is competent or knows how to work for a living.

The McCain campaign is saying that it may resume this line only because they don't want to admit that it was misleading and is no longer popular. Thank you press, you killed this bridge fallacy. I have been following the race very closely and it is sometimes difficult to tell what is fact or myth. Keep both campaigns honest.
