Palin to McCain: Obama called you out

If his own VP’s framing a confrontation over Ayers as a test of McCain’s honor, it’s obviously coming. Axelrod says The One’s prepared to talk about it. I’ll bet he is.
Skip ahead to 5:20 for the exchange about negative campaigning, which the ‘Cuda handles well, or watch from the start for her thoughts on Troopergate (also handled well) and the bailout (less well given that Maverick voted for it and she seems, er, opposed). Exit question: Doesn’t she realize how much “terror of the heart” she’s caused? Click the image to watch.

I really don’t understand this. McCain will bring up Ayers, and then Obama will SLAM him on the Keating 5, something that will resonate a lot more with people than some crazy hippie from 40 years ago. This is going to be suicide if McCain continues to focus on this stupid Ayers guy. Who the HELL is running McCain’s campaign?

Well alrighty then….

I should have wrote-in Palin for President on my absentee ballot.

“Terror of the heart” is a legal phrase with which I’m not familiar.

Without her, this election would be over already.

I am filing suit against the Obama campaign because his proposed policies are causing me “terror of the heart, anxiety and grave fear.”
Texas Rainmaker on October 15, 2008 at 5:50 PM
The VP doesn’t have to agree with the Presidential candidate on everything. Trying to do so causes more problems than it’s worth.
progressoverpeace on October 15, 2008 at 5:51 PM
She opposes the bailout?!!? :)
lodge on October 15, 2008 at 5:51 PM
She is one happy warrior.
I am thrilled to have her on the ticket.
Judging by my lefty colleagues who hate her with every fiber of their existence, she brings a lot of value to the ticket.
Pray for her to have the strength to withstand the attacks against her. Pray for her to win. Pray for her like our country depended on it–because it does.

It’s got to be Ayers/Wright/Phelger/Rezko/Acorn with a side of Socialism or it doesn’t work IMO.
brtex on October 15, 2008 at 5:51 PM
If McCain had the “stones” that Governor Palin has shown she has,,, this race would be over.
Take a lesson America – it is time for Conservative Woman to LEAD this nation.
Our GOP Men have lost their stones.
jake-the-goose on October 15, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Skip Ayers – talk Fannie, Freddie, ACORN, Congressional Dems, and the mortgage meltdown.
DerKrieger on October 15, 2008 at 5:52 PM
If we are to go down, go down swinging, go down telling the truth. We’ll remember you.
Hannibal Smith on October 15, 2008 at 5:52 PM
From Hugh Hewitt: “Senator McCain should ask how Senator Obama could stay for 20 years in Jeremiah Wright’s church, buy a house with Tony Rezko, spend great amounts of time with Rashid Khalidi and represent ACORN. All of these associations go to judgment, the same judgment that Senator Obama will have to use to staff 3,000 jobs including the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury and Justice.”
Of course McCain should hit Obama on Ayers, and all the rest of his disgraceful associations. People don’t know Obama because the press has shielded him. Tonight is McCain’s last chance to rip aside the media filter and get some information to voters.

Class Action baby!
Also, I went to my local Walmart to look at their gun/sporting department. And the clerk said that they are out of certian guns, and plan on selling a bunch more for either a win of BHO and his ban on guns, or the lose of BHO and the race riots that will happen.
Mercy4Me on October 15, 2008 at 5:56 PM
You know what, I think all the negative attacks are working it’s just people don’t like what McCain’s selling… I was begging for policy pivots way back after the convention… I saw the messaging train wreck coming even before the crash… there is no call to action at all in McCain’s proposals… it’s all bureaucratic managerialism… it’s what McCain will “reform” rather than McCain leading people to do…
ninjapirate on October 15, 2008 at 5:57 PM
I hate to repeat the “walk and chew gum at the same time thing”, but it is possible for McCain to state a devastating summary of all of Obama’s many limitations.
How many times have commenters here neatly capsulized the many reasons why Obama is unfit and dangerous?
If McCain can’t manage to pull something succinct together about how Obama’s history/mentors/associations/voting patterns represents a threat to our democracy and capitalism, then he hasn’t been paying attention or doesn’t adequately understand the dangers.
JiangxiDad on October 15, 2008 at 5:58 PM
Good luck finding a trial lawyer without an Obama bumper sticker.
jgapinoy on October 15, 2008 at 5:58 PM
I wanted to see her say “I wouldn’t have voted for the bailout” specifically, but I get the feeling (and looking at her Alaska record), she wouldn’t have.
lodge on October 15, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Not all of his proposals are like that, it’s just how everyone is sold… it’s never narrated about what these policies mean for the individual… it’s all about what McCain will do…
ninjapirate on October 15, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Is there any way we can figure out a way that I can have this woman’s babies? I’m a man, mind you.
Editor on October 15, 2008 at 5:59 PM
On Fox News Major Garrett is putting out there that the “Obama campaign” is afraid that McCain will bring up Ayers, but in the context of APOLOGIZING for ever bringing him up. They do have a response if McCain does, indeed, apologize.
Crazy.
I wonder where we’d be if McCain had opposed it?
nyrofan on October 15, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Well. We see who’s wearing the pants in this “family.”
baldilocks on October 15, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Folks. We’re looking at the first female president of the USA. You can take the money to Vegas and bet the farm on that
ConservativePartyNow on October 15, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Oh, yeah…the Keating thing will really “resonate”, especially since he was exonerated. And of course, Americans just can’t wrap their mind around someone trying to destroy the Pentagon.
I figure there’s a reason all the liberals are squealing at the idea of McCain bringing Ayers up tonight. He is over the target. I hope he brings up ACORN, too.
capitalist piglet on October 15, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Don’t skip ahead or you’ll miss her explain Tasergate and why she’s completely in the clear there.
Sounds like she personally opposed the bailout. Swoon.
I love how she threw the “too much negative” back at the interviewer, what do you mean? Of course, she did the same thing with the Bush doctrine, but hopefully this time people won’t get bent trying to prove she doesn’t understand what negative campaigning is.
She’s got more stones the McCain (in the election). I laughed when she laughed about government revenues. Classic. McCain, you’re up.
Spirit of 1776 on October 15, 2008 at 6:02 PM
She is getting good. THAT’S why they hate her.
LtE126 on October 15, 2008 at 6:02 PM
McCain is going to let Obama slip pass him on all his crazy associations and ties tonight. He may bring up Ayers, just because Obama has dared him to, but it will be — like all of McCain’s attacks on Ayers the “washed up terrorist” — half hearted.
He will spend more time praising Senator Obama on his accomplishments than he will attacking Obama.
I’m looking forward to this debate about as much as I’m looking forward to a funeral.

Quit with the “fat cats on Wall Street” rhetoric, please, Gov. Palin. Thanks.
spmat on October 15, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Ayers may have planted his bombs 40 years ago, but he hasn’t changed his philosophy (he said he wished he had planted more bombs), only his methods. McCain can bring up the fact that Ayers got appointed Obama as Chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge board, whose original purpose was to improve Chicago schools. In Obama’s only leadership job in his life, Obama, Ayers&Co. spent six years and $160 million on programs to radicalize students against their parents, ZERO on math and science and academic programs, and the CAC’s OWN REPORT says their efforts made NO IMPROVEMENT in test scores from the recipient schools.
Whether or not McCain ties Obama to an old terrorist, he can use this argument to state that, when given a leadership opportunity, Barack Obama spent $160 million for zero results and zero change. Based on this track record, why should voters trust Obama to spend $3 trillion of taxpayer money for zero results?
Steve Z on October 15, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Count me in, too. I have no shame.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 15, 2008 at 6:07 PM
I want McCain to watch the movie “Patton.” It will inspire him to kick ass for the sake of the country.
McCain must remember that he should concisely and simply iterate what his plan is, why we are in this mess (name names!), and explain the lack of action on Obama’s part and how his economic policy will definitely get us into a Depression.
God bless McCain and I will pray for him.
jencab on October 15, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Someone is sending out texts in FL saying they are McCain and he is pulling out of FL.

Palin was right when she said Obama is running against Bush. It’s all he has. And even that is based on a lie.

Stockholm syndrome sets in.
McCain could tie Obama to the economy and its failure via Fannie but he just doesn’t seem to want to.
WTF
drjohn on October 15, 2008 at 6:10 PM
As for the Keating Five story, McCain was exonerated decades ago by the Senate Ethics Committee, and has been re-elected to the Senate three times since then. Keating Five is a non-starter with most voters, and the other four Senators were Democrats.
Steve Z on October 15, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Yes! So much more centered. And clear. And unintimidated.

Boy, I really love this woman…I wish I had a better computer to see the interview without it re-loading and buffering and only giving me the first 2 minutes…will have to wait to see it at my sister’s this weekend…she loves her, too, but the neighbors weren’t too thrilled at last week’s football get-together. She did her best to stick up for her.
deedledee on October 15, 2008 at 6:15 PM
And if McCain does not bring up Ayers, you believe Obama would leave the Keating 5 alone? Dream on.
__________
RJGatorEsq. on October 15, 2008 at 6:15 PM
I will go along with this. I think there is going to be so much economic bull crap going on for the next four years that it will be difficult for Obama to settle in and screw us over much. Its that 1980 scenario again. Jimmy Obama will look mighty beat up by 2012 and Sarah P. will be waiting to lop his head off. In a figurative sense of course. Don’t want to sound racist.
JonRoss on October 15, 2008 at 6:16 PM
McCain was better in his speeches this week. I think he should remind people of his service in the War. I know that most have heard it but many haven’t. And asking Americans to fight against Obama’s corruption would be good too. Fight with me America against the corruption of our democratic rights and values… Show ACORN and Obama that stuffing ballot boxes won’t work! Not going to happen but…
petunia on October 15, 2008 at 6:16 PM
I know Wall Street is just playing the hand the Fed dealt them, but these genius bankers were blind to the risk of the housing bubble, or, didn’t care about their customers enough.
lodge on October 15, 2008 at 6:16 PM
Sadly, it seems McCain has lost whatever fire he had in his belly. The former cocky jet pilot has now become a washed-up grandpa trying to hold on. We can only hope that somehow Palin can carry the flame for the ticket.
m064404 on October 15, 2008 at 6:16 PM
To add to your point (you probably know this, but for anyone who doesn’t), Bob Bennett (a Democrat attorney) was involved in the investigation at that time; after looking into it, he recommended that all accusations of wrongdoing by John McCain be scrapped, because he found no misconduct on McCain’s part. He said that the Democrats in charge refused his suggestion, because they needed at least one Republican’s name in the public so that the scandal would be bipartisan.
capitalist piglet on October 15, 2008 at 6:17 PM
“God Damn America”. Where are our 527s? RNC? Not using “God Damn America” video will be an EPIC FAIL.
marklmail on October 15, 2008 at 6:17 PM
What’s ridiculous about this is not that Sen. McCain may address the Ayers issue (he should); it’s not only that he has telegraphed his punch (he has…don’t you think that maybe Sen. Obama will be ready for this???). It’s that he has so so so many other similar points to hit Sen. Obama with. Leave aside Rev. Wright…there’s lots more!
What about 135 votes of “Present” in the Illinois State senate?
What about the vote against medical treatment for born alive abortion victims?
What about his receipt of huge donations from the corrupt mortgage industry,his ongoing relationship with the chief perps and the fact that his party is the one most at fault?
Why not contrast, naming names when necessary, his role versus the role of leading democrats in shielding Fannie and Freddie from regulation? Why not ask him why, given the way the regulators were excoriated by the likes of Rep. Barney Franks and Sen. Chris Dodd when they tried to draw the attention of Congress to the risks of below prime lending, there is any reason to believe the bailout’s new improved congressional oversight will have any different effect than the old?
What about the fact that, despite the economic meltdown, he wants to raise taxes on the economic backbone of the country? why not hit him with that? And if he says that maybe he won’t implement the taxes if the economy is weak confront him with the fact that this is an admission that his plans weaken the economy…regardless of whether or not it is weak or strong.
What about the fact that, despite the economic meltdown, he wants to destroy NAFTA, a trade agreement which has brought untold prosperity to the US?
What about the fact that Sen. Obama’s energy policies (and those of the dems) cause high prices, and dependence on foreign oil…has Sen. McCain forgotten about energy, for God’s sake? One of his strongest arguments?
What about the fact that he was the trainer for ACORN which is Election Fraud Central in this election?
What about the fact that he opposed the surge, which means that not only was he wrong, but that the US, had it followed his counsel, would have lost. (Why not rub Sen. Obama’s face in the fact that the US has won in Iraq and that just because there are no Victory parades down Madison Ave, al la 1945, this does not mean that there has not been a great victory).
I wish, just once, someone would put it to Sen. Obama whether he continues to support below prime lending to those who can’t afford mortgages? Put that to Sen. Obaba and I am sure that he, and his Democrat buddies will be exposed completely as the underminers of the economy, of the savings of American citizens, and the free market system. why allow the Dems and the media to get away with the lie that there was under-regulation when, in fact, it was government interference in the contractual relationship between lender and borrower that caused this problem?
This election has been handed to Sen. McCain on a silver platter to win…but he has decided, I guess, that that’s not enough. He wants room service.
Sen. McCain may have some personal vision of how elections should be fought. Maybe he wants to appeal to Independents..a constituency that I do not believe exists. Regardless of what he is doing, however, it’s not working!.
Given that, he owes the electorate a better job. The country will be in severe danger, I believe, if Sen. Obama is elected, and if the country is in danger then Sen. McCain, as the GOP nominee has an affirmative duty to attack. To go on offence.
He has weapons. Tonight he has a battlefield. It’s time for him to get out there and fight.
Blaise on October 15, 2008 at 6:18 PM

Zorro on October 15, 2008 at 6:20 PM
McCain himself has discouraged the 527s from doing anything at all and has flat out told them NOT to say anything about Wright, Ayers etc.
(They just talked about that precise thing on FOX just a few minutes ago.)

LegendHasIt on October 15, 2008 at 6:27 PM
What he said.
Also, I’m betting Obama is going to bring up the issue of Ayers. He’s going to try to put McCain on the defensive, “I was 8 years old” etc. Consequently, I hope McCain is prepared to establish that Ayers is just one in a long line of radical friends.
If Wright is not an issue, McCain deserves to lose. Wright is Ayes x 1,000,000 on judgment, character, and ideology.
El_Terrible on October 15, 2008 at 6:28 PM
That scenario certainly would be worthy of a Hitchcock film.
m064404 on October 15, 2008 at 6:29 PM
Sarah Palin is the reason I’m totally onboard the McCain train. McCain himself is frustrating as hell to listen to and I don’t have much faith that the debate tonight will be much different. I’d have voted for him anyway simply because Obama is such a dreadful alternative but it would’ve been without much enthusiasm. Palin is the person I want to see in Washington.
rsrobinson on October 15, 2008 at 6:30 PM
McCain has more to talk about than Ayers. He has a few surprises up his sleeve. I think it has something to do with Oak trees and a chick named Fannie.

Buzzy on October 15, 2008 at 6:32 PM
As George Will pointed out people will soon be getting their October 401K statements and it will be one of the most effective direct mail campaigns in history. A third term is difficult and in an economic downturn very difficult. What we are going through now is much worse and McCain will have to find his voice on the crisis soon.
dedalus on October 15, 2008 at 6:32 PM
I feel kind of betrayed by McCain.
I wish I could get at least a partial refund for my $2,300 I sent him.
I sent it after he picked Palin figuring that he actually wanted to win.
Now I find out that he just wanted to lose in an orderly fashion and drift off to obscurity.
It’s gonna be a long four years.
Sapwolf on October 15, 2008 at 6:33 PM
McCain would rather lose than annoy his Democrat friends by, you know, trying to win. It’s starting to look like he’ll get his wish.
Hollowpoint on October 15, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Forget Ayers, hammer him on this. Hit him hard and often on his socialism scheme, and that it goes against the principles this country were founded upon. Then when he’s on the ropes, that’s when you can lay into him with Ayers, Mansour, Khalidi, Rezko, etc. and show the correlation between his associations and his views. But it needs to be a step by step thing so people can follow along.

Please get that message to the Oslime-a campaign. That’s what we need is for Oslime-a to overplay that hand. McCain stood for an investigation and answered all questions to the point that Clinton’s lawyer said it was a farce that McCain and Glenn were even being investigated. In the end, both Glenn and McCain were chastised for bad judgment. John hs used that experience to focus his career on fighting the corruption in Washington.
The flip side for Oslime-a? He has lied repeatedly about Ayres and Rezko. He also sat in a racist church run by a black bigoted America hating slime bag racist. AND refuses to answer any questions honestly.
Yeah, PLEASE bring it up Oslime-a!

I just hope McCain doesn’t come off as a stuttering, shuffling, old man like he did last debate, and for God’s sake, test the microphone first and no heavy breathing!
As for Sarah, I love her. The woman is made of steel, and I prsy for her safety in the coming years.
anniekc on October 15, 2008 at 6:48 PM
The main problem was that they were abiding by the SEC’s law on leverage. Unfortunately, the SEC changed the law in 2004 to allow Wall Street to get leveraged at 40-to-1. So a small increase in foreclosure rates can wipe out the entire underlying principal.

If McCain loses the election, his support for the bailout package will be the main reason for it.
As I and others have commented before, by opposing the bailout and offering a less expensive, less govt-intrusive solution, McCain could’ve put his country first, he could’ve been on the right side of this issue AND be in a solid position to win this election.

Republicans have a very short horizon – they do not look past the next election.
Democrats look further down the road. The reason they are attacking Palin so strongly now is because if McCain wins in 2008, she will be a front runner in 2012. They have to lay the foundation for the attacks early (just like Dan Quayle and Cheney). If Palin picks a strong conservative VP in 2012 (Jindal, Steele) the Democrats know they are toast for another 12 years. Now is the time to derail the train before it ever leaves the station.

I agree. Talk about “questionable associations” and then beat the living crap out of him on FM/FM, ACORN, the band of DEM idiots, etc.
I love Sarah. I’m going to see her Friday afternoon! I CAN HARDLY WAIT.

Remember how scared we were before Sarah’s debate? Let’s pray that we have the same outcome tonight! She kicked a$$ and she’s a rookie to national politics. McCain MUST kick a$$. I know he can do it. He’s been through major battles in the past. He’s had his life on the line and he out-smarted the Viet Namese. It didn’t come quickly or easily, but he did it.
I just pray he hasn’t gone soft on us. I keep thinking he’s still got an ace in the hole.
