Wow, the interest in Sarah Palin just keeps getting stronger! She was on Larry King Live over the weekend. And today’s big news about Palin involves a publishing contract. Seems Sarah Palin is getting a book deal. And it is looking like this book deal will net her about $7 million! And her come out of nowhere to being everywhere is being compared to another important someone. Obama himself had a similar story.
Well, it appears that Obama might not be the douche I thought he was. At least not a complete and total douche. Seems he met with Hillary last week. What was the meeting about? Apparently he was offering her the role of Secretary of State in his administration. That would be pretty awesome. And would be a nice springboard for her to make another presidential run from. Very interesting development.
I found it odd that Barack Obama did not thank the Clinton’s in his speech last week. It was clearly a public snubbing. And today I read that Michelle Obama needs Hillary’s help? (link) Apparently she called her to ask about raising the kids in the White House and away from the media. And Hillary is gladly offering her help. Even though she will likely get no thanks for it.
As we all know by now, McCain lost the US presidential election. And there is a lot of blame going on. As expected most of the blame is being sent Sarah Palin’s way. But is she really to blame? She energized the Republican party when she was picked. Or is she just the easy scapegoat? Regardless, she does not deserve it.
Well, it is over. The election season has finally come to an end. And the result is a new democratic president. What can I say? Only that I wish it were Hillary. And I hope he can deliver what everyone seems to think he can. But I just don’t know. And, frankly, I can’t believe he did not mention her in his speech last night. She has worked tirelessly for him and this is the thanks she gets?
Just a reminder for those in the US that tomorrow is election day. Remember to head out to your polling place to vote. Also be aware of a voting scam that is going on. Some people received paperwork stating that Republicans vote tomorrow (the 4th) and Democrats vote on the 5th. Everyone votes tomorrow! That is if you have not already voted early like I did.
I have made no secret about the fact that I supported Hillary Clinton in this election. In fact, I still think she would be the best person for the job. I shudder to think about the current state of the economy and the fact that there will not be a Clinton in office to fix it.
For me, I hope she runs again. Of course, the only way I see that happening is if Obama loses this election. Otherwise I think she just might be too old. Of course, Chelsea won’t be. And I would vote for her since she is a Clinton!

On the way to work today I was listening to NPR. They were talking about national politics when they shifted to South Dakota. Apparently there is a measure on the ballot in South Dakota that women need to know about. A group there is trying to make abortions illegal in the state. Exceptions are: rape, incest and danger of the life of the mother. However, there apparently is something in there that states that if doctor’s perform an abortion and one of those things is not the case then they can be prosecuted. So, on NPR they were saying this means that if this measure passed that no doctors would be performing them due to the risk.
Yikes.
The people behind this measure are hoping that it passes and that it becomes the first stepping stone to overturning Roe v. Wade.
Double Yikes!!
If you are in South Dakota please vote against this measure and protect a woman’s right to choose!
Tina Fey has been making ratings gold for SNL with her Sarah Palin skits. It is pretty freaky how much they look alike when Fey is playing Palin. Well, Fey has been paid on three shows now. And word on the street is that Palin might appear on SNL this weekend. And she just might appear on there as Fey! What fun that will be!
