Palin: The attacks “may get kind of rough” going forward

That line comes near the end, bookended by yet another rip on Ayers and a name-check of Tina Fey that’s destined to be incorporated into the next SNL skit. If nothing else, the fact that the ‘Cuda’s willing to play attack dog undermines the theory that she views the campaign mainly as a vehicle to polish her own prospects. Her unfavorables are already at 40 percent in two new polls; going sharply negative over the final month on a guy who’s momentarily poised to win big won’t help reduce those numbers, although like everything else she does, it will of course further endear her to the base.
Man, that should be one warm, friendly town hall debate tomorrow night, huh?

Let us know if you need help Sarah . . . we’ll catch the first flight out.
rplat on October 6, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Fox News showed some highlights; she looked awesome.
Dripping with contempt, Brit Hume just point out three foreign policy mistakes that Biden made during Thursday’s debate. It was great because he emphasized that the mistakes were not Palin’s but Biden’s–head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Heads must have exploded in Manhattan.
For good measure, Hume pointed out that the WSJ pointed out today that, in an attempt to seem like Joe Six-Pack, Biden referred to a restaurant that’s been closed for 20 years.
Fodder for future Palin stump speeches.

Palin: The stones in the GOP.
I rarely comment on appearances, but I would like to say that the white and the blue today were killer.
Say Obama wins, then all his history comes out. Her negatives will melt away when people realize she was right. Tell the truth, it sets you free.
Spirit of 1776 on October 6, 2008 at 6:37 PM

WTF! Sometimes you just have to pull your pants down and slide on the ice! I say Sarah and Mac gotta go full bore. Don’t hold anything back! If you don’t, you have certainly lost the election. I believe that if you lose the election, it will only because you didn’t pull the stops out, sooner!!
Star20 on October 6, 2008 at 6:39 PM
One assumes that the timing of these new attacks is dependent as much on the debate as on the passage of the bailout.
If they can get Obama angry and rattled, and keep him off balance like he was after the conventions, tomorrow’s debate is gonna be doggone interestin’. You betcha!
NeighborhoodCatLady on October 6, 2008 at 6:39 PM
That was killer. Man, I love Sarah!
lansing quaker on October 6, 2008 at 6:39 PM

Polls show Obama beating McCain by 10 points or more,, time is getting short,, the world economy is crashing,, but, when you listen to her you can’t help but feel encouraged!

lorien1973 on October 6, 2008 at 6:41 PM
I call BS on both that Obama would win big right now and that Palin’s unfavorables are so high.
John Kerry and Al Gore were both poised to win big right before the election, how’d that turn out?
I’m not saying that McCain is winning, I’m just saying the Polls are greatly overstating Obama’s lead.
Kronos on October 6, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Give me a break about the negatives in the poll. 70 frickin’ million people. They didn’t watch for a car wreck – they watched because they love her.
Editor on October 6, 2008 at 6:41 PM
In other news, a cadre of the world’s most brilliant theoretical physicists are scouring the mountains of super collider data in search of a subatomic particle small enough to represent my interest in Tina Fey or SNL.
9/11 was an attack. Mentioning that Obama is cozy with Bill Ayers is pointing out the truth.
saint kansas on October 6, 2008 at 6:41 PM
There should have been the narrative focused policy pivots right after convention to fit her… but Team McCain blows…
She did not get to 80% approval rating as neocon attack dog… there should be a team of writers who monitor everything that comes out of her mouth… she can play that part but she shouldn’t only play that part… and she needs policy to back it up… POLICY POLICY POLICY FFS
ninjapirate on October 6, 2008 at 6:41 PM
It’s not about going negative,,, it’s about telling the truth!
JellyToast on October 6, 2008 at 6:42 PM
Plus SNL is up 49 percent in ratings.
terryannonline on October 6, 2008 at 6:42 PM
It’s a head-fake! And it’s all about what a good VP brings to the campaign.
The Obama camp is busily defending his association with Ayers – right now, right before the debate, it’s entirely their focus.
Palin is playing the traditional role of attack dog…all the while, McCain himself is hammering, and will be hammering Obama tomorrow, on the economy.
This is exactly how you double-team the other guy. Keep ‘em guessing, and hit ‘em on multiple fronts.

If Obama wins, his history will look tame compared with what he will do in office. By 2012, she will be the second-term Governor of the richest state in the union (after Obama runs the lower 48 into poverty), and people will say, “I should have listened to her, let’s vote her in now!”
Steve Z on October 6, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Thanks for backing the point up.
Spirit of 1776 on October 6, 2008 at 6:46 PM
And dont forget, people are p*issed right now that thier 410Ks are dropping. Once things cool somewhat over the next few weeks AND assuming the RNC keeps the message about who was really resposible, and I believe youll see a big change in the polls coming (Screw the national polls though, its the key State polls that count…and by the way, they are almost always notoriously badly done and undersampled, etc.)
No, this thing is not over, and all the better for us if Obama thinks it is…
Waterboy on October 6, 2008 at 6:47 PM
For all you poll watchers this was on CBS.com. Numbers are still adjusting and it’s not time to give up.
“(CBS) In a sign that the race for president has returned to about where it was before the first presidential debate, the Obama-Biden ticket leads the McCain-Palin ticket 47 percent to 43 percent among registered voters in a new CBS News poll.
The Obama-Biden ticket led by a wider margin, nine percentage points, in a CBS News poll released last Wednesday, before Joe Biden and Sarah Palin faced off in the vice presidential debate. Obama-Biden led by five percentage points on Sept. 25.
In the new poll, the Democratic ticket leads by 3 percentage points, 48 percent to 45 percent, among likely voters.”

If Sarah can thread the needle between McCain’s leftist policy positions and her place in the campaign, her prospects in ‘12 are good. Also, she needs to fix the “nukular”/nuclear thing and quit with the hollow WallStreetGreed™ rhetoric.

CBS: 47-43 Obama.
We may have a chance yet.
amerpundit on October 6, 2008 at 6:50 PM
I just want to repeat a point I made in other thread where Brit was citing battleground states: one had 7% swing in 1 week, 8 in 2. There is plenty of time for movement with a strong narrative.
Spirit of 1776 on October 6, 2008 at 6:50 PM
Wow, watching Brit Hume right now – Maura Liasson is a dufus. She doesn’t think there is much to the Ayers relationship. And as justification, she rattles off that Ayers’ and Obama’s kids went to the same school together – repeating a David Axelrod line.
Only problem with that – Ayers’ kids are over 20 years older than Obama’s! Same school, eh? Great research Maura…ya putz.
dugan on October 6, 2008 at 6:50 PM
Speaking of attacks getting rough…
Juan Williams just said (on Special Report) that “as a black person” he thinks that Obama’s connection to Wright is a legitimate line of attack (more so than the Ayers connection).
Fred Barnes and Brit Hume are both frustrated by McCain’s unwillingness to attack Obama on that front. Panel concedes it is probably because McCain is worried about being called racist.
Y-not on October 6, 2008 at 6:51 PM
“Barack Obama didn’t know back then about Bill Ayer’s background”..

That’s the absolute LAST thing Obama wants to talk about! Go get ‘im, SarahCuda!
Now McCain needs to show up tomorrow with a good sharp attack on how Democrats bankrupted Fannie and Freddie, and Uncle Sam.

Bishop on October 6, 2008 at 6:59 PM
Remember.
Obama is running as “not-Bush” – all he has to do is appear competent and composed, and he’ll win on anti-Republican “time for new blood” sentiments.
Thus, he must make McCain into Bush 3.
But, the weakness in this strategery of Team Barry is that all McCain has to do to win is to raise *enough* doubt in the minds of *enough* voters about just what they’re voting for – and (ideally) go after Bush a few times himself – and he *should* squeak it out.
Of course, he may have waited too long to go on the attack here.

Unleash hell, Cuda. The Left is fundamentally made up of cowards. They hate War, but they love Revolution. They won’t fight in the infantry, but they’ll lob Molotov cocktails. They will run when confronted. They don’t have the stomach for leadership, but they’ll spend all day telling you how you’re screwing up the country.

Marybeth on October 6, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Which is highly ironic, in my opinion. I’ve always gotten the impression that McCain and Bush don’t like each other very much.
terryannonline on October 6, 2008 at 7:03 PM
I was disappointed that Hume’s panel didn’t focus on McCain’s going after Fannie and Freddie. I think that was far more significant than Ayers and Wright.
I will say that Hume had a somewhat Obama-leaning panel–Juan Williams and Liasson were on it.
I do agree that Barnes is right that McCain needs a consistent theme for the economy. How did McCain ever let energy get away from him–energy is related to national security, employment, and the economy. Screw global warming.
BuckeyeSam on October 6, 2008 at 7:03 PM
Hopefully more wise and intelligent people come up through the ranks to help fill the void, Marybeth.
wise_man on October 6, 2008 at 7:04 PM
Save your false concern over her unfavorables Allah, it’s not like you’d ever want her to run for national office again anyway. You simply don’t like her and are relishing in the prospect that the base would encourage her to shoot herself in the foot for McCain. But confident people don’t care about fly by night polls like you. Here today, gone tomorrow. Those polls will be lining the bottoms of senior citizen birdcages the USA over and swept out into the landfills in a week. Those seniors aren’t going to remember her unfavorable ratings 16 months from now when the unemployment rate goes to 8%, gas prices start increasing again, stocks go even lower, and that $5 trillion dollar New Deal starts taking effect.
What until Jumpstart the Economy goes into practice. Yea, go take a beautiful gander at all those government programs and government oversight.
1. From Windfall Profits Tax on Oil Companies: an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills. This relief would be a down payment on the Obama-Biden long-term plan to provide middle-class families with at least $1,000 per year in permanent tax relief.
2. A $25 billion State Growth Fund to prevent state and local cuts in health, education, housing, and heating assistance or counterproductive increases in property taxes, tolls or fees.
3. $25 billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to prevent cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund school repair – all to save more than 1 million jobs in danger of being cut. (Read: Union Jobs)
4. The “Making Work Pay” tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.
5. Barack Obama will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year.
6. Obama and Biden will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid.
7. Create a National Network of Public-Private Business Incubators: Invest $250 million per year to increase the number and size of incubators in disadvantaged communities throughout the country.
8. Raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs.
9. Create a 10 percent universal mortgage credit to provide homeowners who do not itemize tax relief. This credit will provide an average of $500 to 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year.
10. Eliminate the provision that prevents bankruptcy courts from modifying an individual’s mortgage payments.
11. Double funding for the main federal support for afterschool programs, the 21st Century Learning Centers program, to serve a million more children.
and so on and so forth…

Jimmy Carter served on nuclear submarines and studied nuclear physics in college and still can’t say it correctly.
Mark1971 on October 6, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Bwahhahahah. Yeah, you betcha.
Or that organization is polling people like Peggy Noonan, Kathleen Parker, George Will, and Harry Reid and calling them republicans.
Or, more to the point, that opinion polls that sample tiny numbers of people are completely unreliable, no matter what the polling companies try to tell you. They are selling an entertainment product, and what a great country that they can make so much money and provide employment for so many people doing it.

Texyank on October 6, 2008 at 7:06 PM
I think it is over for McCain. There are too many obstacles in his way. As much as the base loves Palin (and I do as well) that just isn’t enough to put them over the top. I think Virginia is going to be his undoing. I’m not worried about Florida and even with the stories of fraud in Ohio, I put a lot of stock in the GOP machine there. But, sad to say, Virginia is not going to come around. Between the liberal beltway and Richmond and Newport, Obama has a pretty good hold on the state. Even the strong military presence in the state won’t help McCain.
Anyway, Palin is doing exactly what we expected from her. I am Ok with the timing and this can only serve to improve her profile. She’s a young woman and Obama will absolutely fall on his ass. He does not have Bill Clinton’s charisma to push aside issues. People will look at Obama in a year and shake their heads at being stupid enough to hire this arrogant punk. That can only bode well for Palin.

No VP candidate in my lifetime has been able to drive the news cycle the way that Sarah Palin can right now. Most VP candidates get little more than local coverage in whatever town they happen to be campaigning in that day. Palin’s star power and the ravenous public interest in her have created a bully pulpit for her to speak directly to the American people and raise issues that the MSM cannot easily ignore or dismiss.
McCain needs to take advantage of this and have Palin continually hammering away at Obama on Ayers/Wright/Rezko as well as hanging the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle on the Democrats like an anchor. Democrats and the MSM have already gone all in anyway in their efforts to destroy her and will continue to do so even if she plays nice. So screw worrying about the potential negatives. Win or lose, she’ll have four years to work on her image.

Thanks, Rplat:
for providing that information on the new CBS 47-43 poll (and it’ 48-43 among likely voters.) I needed to know about it to stave off the dark-night-of-the-soul induced by prolonged exposure the RealClearPolicitcs.com average.
Here’s most of the article you alluded to:
http://cbs2chicago.com/campaign08/cbs.news.poll.2.833940.html
CBS Poll: Presidential Race Tightens
Democrat Barack Obama Retaining Small Lead Over McCain
More Than Half Of Americans Polled Disapprove Of Bailout
NEW YORK (CBS) ― In a sign that the race for president has returned to about where it was before the first presidential debate, the Obama-Biden ticket leads the McCain-Palin ticket 47 percent to 43 percent among registered voters in a new CBS News poll.
The Obama-Biden ticket led by a wider margin, nine percentage points, in a CBS News poll released last Wednesday, before Joe Biden and Sarah Palin faced off in the vice presidential debate. Obama-Biden led by five percentage points on Sept. 25.
In the new poll, the Democratic ticket leads by 3 percentage points, 48 percent to 45 percent, among likely voters.
Barack Obama holds a 20 point lead in terms of enthusiasm. Fifty-eight percent of Obama voters say they are very enthusiastic about their candidate, while only 38 percent of John McCain voters say the same about the Arizona senator.
Roughly one in five registered voters have yet to commit to a candidate, though they may lean towards one or the other.
Interest in tomorrow’s presidential debate is high. Roughly two in three registered voters say they are “very likely” to watch the debate, about the same percentage who said they were very likely to watch the first presidential debate and the vice presidential debate.
BCrago66 on October 6, 2008 at 7:15 PM
It will be a balls out thermo-nuclear assault on BHO going forward.
No way Sarah will allow BHO as CIC without letting everyone in america know exactly who he is.
BRAVO!
DeweyWins on October 6, 2008 at 7:16 PM
The difference between conservative and liberal women?
conservative women like me love Sarah Palina we embrace her, were proud of her…liberal women are spewing hatred and want to destroy her even though she is what they saod they wanted independent, strong, successful…sad sad sad…
I believe the negatives about Sarah might have to do with the hatred the left feels for her. They are the only side that really gets polled…
I love her!

Like it or not, “nucular” is a common pronunciation in the U.S. Here’s a paper (looks like it might be the transcript from his NPR show, not a published paper) from a Berkeley academic discussing the widespread use of “nucular” by politicians and speculating about the origins of this usage: http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~nunberg/nucular.html
Whatever the case, in a country as diverse as ours I’m not sure why someone’s accent is an issue.

If any place is going to demonstrate her negatives, it is here in So Cal. Yet, Palin was at the Home Depot center Saturday and my sister-in-law said people couldn’t get in it was so crowded. She could hardly talk or hear because it was like a concert! Yeah Allah, someone somewhere found a bunch of people who don’t like her, but it isn’t the base, and it isn’t Main Street USA.

Maybe she’s one of those who want Obama to win so we can try again in 4 years. If that’s the case, I sincerely hope she loses, along with Obama. and that McCain wins.
