I have to hand it ot the Oklahoma GOP for managing this.
I thought about saying something snide about this, but effin A people, this is pretty remarkable given that their ticket was McSame and the Dingbat. Though, if you roll over the sections at the end, you'll see that the county vote totals for about 30 of those counties are smaller than the population of my apartment building.
But let's give credit where credit is due. As Sarah P would say...
Say it Ain't So, Sarah, Another 30K? The Republican National Committee is scheduled to file a campaign report with the Federal Election Commission Thursday disclosing that the committee spent additional funds to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
In October, Politico revealed that the RNC had spent approximately $150,000 on clothing and accessories for Palin and her family after she was selected as Sen. John McCain’s running mate. The story provoked a storm of criticism of the Alaska governor, a mother of five and favorite of the conservative wing of the GOP.
While not providing much in details, Republican officials say that the RNC’s post-election financial report will include information on other “accessories’’ purchased for Palin before the Nov. 4 election.
“The amount to be reported is significantly less than $150,000,’’ one RNC official told National Journal. “The accessories on the report are less than $30,000.’’
The clothing, the official says, is in the committee’s possession and “will be dispersed to national and local charities at the appropriate time.’’
Bravo Campbell. If she was really THAT bad, the fault is McCain's and his advisors'.
If she really didn't know that Africa was a continent, why didn't you pull her immediately.
If you really think she is a Wasilla Hillbilly, then have the guts to say that BEFORE you send her out to talk to red neck America about how antielitist you are.
I am no fan of Sarah Palin and believe she was patently unqualified. But the real crime here is that the McCain advisors seemingly found her dumb as a block of wood, AND LEFT HER ON THE TICKET!
Country First? I am once again disgusted by the Republican Party. Not Republican voters, who I respect for their convictions and would defend against attacks. But Republican leaders so obsessed with winning at any cost that they would imperil the world with a block of wood in the White House.
And BTW Sarah, that's YOUR PARTY rubbishing you. Barack saluted your accomplishments on election night.
Not to be partisan on the first day of the new beginning, but if 5% of the below is true, how on EARTH could they not have deselected her. Doesn't know Africa is a continent? Doesn't know who is in NAFTA?
I have only two more weeks to point you toward cheap shots at Sarah Palin. So today I direct you to this post by Chris Schwarze at Digital Two-Footed Tackles.
It's well known tha the Palins select rather unique names for their young ones. Step on over to the Poli tsk Tsk Tsk blog and find out what you would have been caled if you had been a Palin.
Here's my result:
