Interesting political news today. Nothing is on TV at the moment. So I have somehow ended up on Fox News. The scroller at the bottom is talking about Obama and ACORN and how they are affiliated. There is also mention of voter fraud in Ohio already. But the main part of the screen is filled with breaking news. What news? That Sarah Palin is guilty of ‘abuse of power’ in the whole Troopergate thing. So, how did that story get picked to be broadcast while the rest is just at the bottom?
Well, it is time for another presidential debate. This will be the second presidential debate. It takes place tomorrow, October 7th. And this time it is in Nashville Tennessee. It all goes down on the campus of Belmont University. Remember to tune in for it!
Well, the Palin-Biden debate is over. Sadly it is the only VP debate we will see. How do you think Sarah Palin did? She seemed a but nervous at first to me. But once she got going she seemed pretty strong. The current CNN Quick Poll has Biden faring better at 70% of viewers votes. Read the CNN article here.
A lot of the news stories about the VP debate have something in common. They are all talking about the Palin wink. I saw it and remarked about it instantly. When the debate was over I noticed that it was already up on YouTube. You can see it in the clip below. I have to wonder though why she does it? Does she realize she is doing it? It is on purpose? Is she just trying to charm voters? And will Tina Fey be on SNL winking at American this weekend?
Well, the night is here. Tonight is the first and only VP debate. It begins at 8pm CST on CNN. And it will be Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. I can’t wait to see how Palin does. She has had a rough week. So it will be interesting to see how it turns out for her.
This week is the first VP debate. You can catch Sarah Palin and Joe Biden debating this Thursday. It should prove to be an interesting debate. I can’t wait to see how Palin fares in the debate. And I am also interested in seeing how she is treated. Both during the debate and afterwards. You know, see if the sexism that plagued Hillary is still around for Palin.
Have you been paying attention to the political news of late? Not surprisingly Palin is receiving some of the same treatment that Hillary was getting. Sexism is what I am talking about here. It’s been all in the news. Even Campbell Brown talked about it on CNN, (clip here). What I find interesting is that no one called for it to stop when it was happening to Hillary.
With Hillary Clinton out of the race, you might be wondering about women’s issues. If you are, not to worry. They are being discussed. As part of the Women’s week of Action by the Obama Campaign, Hillary and Joe discussed issues that matter to women and their families in this critical election and what you can do to get involved now to make a difference.
Hillary has been a champion throughout her life on issues like protecting a woman’s right to choose, fighting for Equal Pay for Equal Work, helping to create and expand the Family Medical Leave Act, and ensuring health care for children and families. These are just some of the important issues Hillary and Joe discussed.
Did you see this news item last week? I saw it on the Hillary Clinton RSS feed that I signed up for from her site.
Announcing Hillary’s endorsement of two women legislators - Congresswoman Betty Sutton and Vermont Speaker Gaye Symington.
After two wonderful campaign events this weekend for Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden in Ohio, Hillary was on the road with Congresswoman Betty Sutton. Running for reelection in Ohio’s 13th Congressional District, Congresswoman Sutton’s experience as a labor lawyer and in three elective offices has earned her the reputation as an independent leader as well as a tenacious advocate for the people of Ohio.
“The people of Ohio’s 13th Congressional District have experienced firsthand Congresswoman Sutton’s unfailing commitment to expanding economic opportunities and creating jobs, her dedication to working families in Ohio and across this nation, and her hard work on behalf of veterans and brave soldiers,” Hillary Clinton said. “We need to keep representatives like Betty in Washington to keep up the hard fight for America’s hard-working families.”
Hillary is working hard to help elect Democrats. Like Congresswoman Sutton, Speaker Symington will work to bring the change Vermonters need after eight years of the Bush Administration. Speaker Symington has served in the Vermont House of Representatives for 12 years and has served in the role as Speaker since 2005.
“President Obama and Democrats in Congress will need strong leaders from across the country as we fight to bring about the positive change hardworking American families need. Gaye Symington is just the type of leader we need to help us break with the failed Bush policies that have hurt Vermonters for the past eight years,†said Clinton. “Gaye has a proven track record of working on the issues that I have long championed – universal healthcare, equal rights for women and minorities, providing quality education for all of our children, and strengthening our middle class.”
Last night Sarah Palin delivered her VP speech at the Republican convention in Minneapolis. Sadly, I only caught a little bit of the end of it. However, there are plenty of news stories on her performance. Some are claiming that she is clearly ready for the VP job. Some are claiming that she was sarcastic and offered no substance. Did you see her speech? What were your thoughts?
