Writes Todd Purdum: "As Palin has piled misstep on top of misstep, the senior members of McCain's campaign team have ... made it clear that they suffer a kind of survivor's guilt: they can't quite believe that ... they worked their tails off to try to elect as vice president of the United States someone who, by mid-October, they believed for certain was nowhere near ready for the job, and might never be." If John McCain's senior advisers feel guilty over choosing Palin, does John McCain as well? If he does feel guilty, how would he express his regrets? Has he expressed regret already?

I was told Palen was going to Nev to campagin agaiinst Reid---I would like to know when --Why can't you just have a simple schedule of her apperiances-- I am sure many of us would try to attend and support her. Any Tea Party schedules in the Sun City West, Az area, would be appreciated--

Anybody that would vote for Palin needs to strap on some diapers and get some homecare because you're about three IQ points shy of forgetting how to walk. Give your dim head a shake! Seriously!!

I mean, wasn't voting for Bush embarrassing enough for you? Everybody would be laughing at you right now if the whole thing wasn't so damn tragic.

C'mon, you need to start thinking critically. Maybe even pick up a book or two. Eat more fish. Stop huffing gas. AND STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS!
