  • Why are you repeating Republican

    talking points, Alex?

    And is Joan paying you extreme to link every story which has nothing to do with Palin to Palin?

  • Pretty embarrassing

    reach there, Alex.

    why not pull the post because it is damn insulting and doesn't reflect any reality you actually document.

    there seems to be a conscious editorial decision that every story on Salon from now until the duration will be about Palin.

    When when making a reach about Mommy wars, the person who has been put in charge of the war room appears to have to make at certain number Palin posts a day, even if there is no Palin news.

    Alas, the real polling shows that Palin's approval rating is fading, and she is showing only traction with the base of voters McCain should had in the bag months ago.

    In the meantime, you will being TEH STOOPID stories like this which exist to provide click throughs but don't represent anything close to a verifiable reality....

    besides the fact that Alex confuses idle chatter with his friends with liberal attitudes towards working mothers.

    Irony is a foreign concept it would seem...

    and is symptomatic with a daily reminder how far Salon has fallen.

    Mommy Track and now this...

    tell you what, pal.

    don't worry your pretty little head about issues you will never have to personally confront,

    forget about the one about Sally Quinn being a liberal...

    if you weren't dining out on McCain's dime, you might actually be as well informed on this issue as the average Obama voter.

  • The more I read this article

    the more I mourn the times when Salon readers didn't have their intelligence insulted by a guy who is clearly out of his depth.

  • It is interesting

    [Read the article: Rove says Palin was political choice]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    that he said this immediately after the choice was announced..

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/02/rove-palin-a-campaign-dec_n_123278.html

    But of course, seeing that Salon is now all Palin all the time, it is understandable that the once proud war room is now in repeats.

  • If I were McCain

    I would be beefing up my security to protect me from...

    the people who voted for me.

    [Read the article: Obama, McCain tied in key states]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    what you think is "cool"

    is totally laziness for tracking down the polls and finding some which are actually up to date.

    For example. the recent Iowa Register Poll shows Obama with a huge double digit lead.

    Stop enabling a frail old man by discounting his inability to sort out who serves at the pleasure of the president...and who can't be fired just because he wants it to be so...

    in any case, blaming this mess on Cox is bullshit.

    You are the one embarrassing Democrats by excusing stuff which if Obama did it would be flogged by every Republican shill on the innertubes.

    One seems to be terribly confused about what criticism comes from the Obama campaign, and what comes from fact checkers and those who are actually listening to McCain.

    One seems to be part of the old Democratic guard which worried more about be criticized by Republicans than actually winning.

    One might want to find another hobby.

    if you ever had to live with a spouse you are divorcing, you wouldn't be so glib.

    Mary Beth has had something terribly rotten happen to her, and she doesn't need advice, she need friends who are there for her.

    you don't hate to decry the 50 Fifty state strategy.

    Your entire career depends on its failure.

    And for that reason, everything that you say should be seen thru that particular frame.

    [Read the article: Uh-oh: McCain spending in Indiana]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    you spend so much time knocking...because it flies in the face of the thesis which allows you to gather serious illagers for your lame roundtables...

    isn't so much about winning now in states where we will be competitive when you are back teaching in Jr College....

    but rather is about forcing the Republicans to spend their limited cash in state which supposed to be gimmmees

    Your own bullshit conventional wisdom book requires you to not actually learn anything from Dean and Obama, but play pundit with a rapidly irrelevant political theory.

    I really wish Tim Grieve was back....

    you and Koppelman are embarrassments.

    why don't you actually do the due dilligence before you post fact you make up on the fly.

    McCain is considered one of the Senate's laziest members. He lets lobbyists write the legislation he cosponsors.

  • Erratic

    Why is it that Republican trolls claim not to be McCain supporters and then go into a rap straight out of the Tucker Bound's latest blast fax?

    [Read the article: Conservative columnist tells Palin: "Bow out"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Low information voters like yourself should actually check the polls before you humiliate yourself further.

    Palin's unfavorables have been on the rise for a week, and all of McCain's swing voters have run for the hills.

    Nice try, tho.

    But next time read Parker...who clearly reflects your own "know nothingism" and you won't seem so STOOPID.

  • unnamed sources

    stating the obvious.

    No one can accuse Madden of actually committing journalism.

    of course a McCainiac would never admit the boss hurt himself beyond repair. And no real journalist would be a stenographer for an unnamed source.

    [Read the article: Paul Newman dead]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Paul Newman considered his identity as a liberal was as important as his career as a actor/director.

    He worked as a volunteer on the Lamont campaign...wrote his own ads for Ned...and considered his presence on Nixon's enemy's list as a badge of honor.

    He was a proud and principled Liberal who made me proud to count him among my political heroes.

    You, on the other hand....not so much.

  • Before you indulge in conjecture, Schaller

    you might consider doing the due dilligence...and actually check the state polls before you get into your orgasmic nightmare.

    Tell me you don't actually have tenure at an accredited university.
