The Sarah Palin Digest: What We Know About McCain’s Running Mate
The Sarah Palin Digest: What We Know About McCain’s Running Mate
Very little was known nationally about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) until Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) selected her as his running mate on Aug. 29. Tonight, Palin will be speaking in St. Paul, giving what the media are billing as “the most anticipated speech of the Republican National Convention.” The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza writes:
Palin is the most unknown vice presidential pick in recent history and, as such, her nationally televised acceptance speech will function as her first real introduction to the Republican Party and the average American voter.
McCain has admitted that he didn’t choose Palin as his running mate until the last minute, and it increasingly appears that his campaign did an incomplete, slapdash job vetting her.
With new information on her record coming out hour by hour, it’s hard to digest Palin’s full record. With that in mind, ThinkProgress has put together The Sarah Palin Digest, compiling what the public has learned in just a few short days about the former mayor from Wasilla, AK. We’ll continue to update the digest as more information comes out, and let us know in the comments section if there’s anything we missed.
Check out The Sarah Palin Digest here.

– - Let’s just call this, The Palin-drone.
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:35 pmThank you TP for a beginning outline of our right-wing extremist, Ms. MooseKiller, who pretends to be just a concerned PTA mom. She is actually the Queen of Earmarks in Alaska. She hasn’t bothered to give our war of aggression on Iraq much thought (5 years of criminal occupation; one million Iraqis dead in their graves): that damning admission should alone be enough to disqualify her from higher office…
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:35 pmI have one question:
How freaking drunk do you have to be to get a DWI in ALASKA??
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:35 pmYikes.
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:36 pmWait, McCain is now saying “The nonsense is over”. They can slice and dice Obama on personal issues all they want but don’t touch his candidate. As usual republicans can do their smear thing but don’t even try to smear them even with facts. Sorry McCain and GOP, the sword cuts both ways. Deal with it.
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:38 pmYou guys are missing all kinds of stuff. Almost as bad as the McCain campaign.
How about the book banning?
How about the phony trip to Ireland?
How about her mother-in-laws ringing endorsement? Or those fellow Alaskan Republicans?
How about her claim that building her precious gas pipeline was a “task from God”?
How about the refusal to turn over the emails (on which her husband was copied) in the Troopergate investigation with claims of executive privilege?
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:38 pmThank you TP for resisting calling this “The Sarah Palin Chronicles”
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:40 pmadd to the Science section — she is a man-made global warming denier
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:40 pmrandi tells a story of her run for mayor… a formerly low-key, neighborly event… except the RNC showed up and had her run on the abortion platform…
it was planned… that long ago…
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:41 pmI listened to her first speech and my ears are still recovering from that screechy sound coming from her mouth.
Did she get her voice training from a Howler monkey?
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:42 pmIs she related to this Sarah Pawlenty the Republicans were so high on last night?
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:43 pmThe End of An Argument:
The McCain campaign is putting out the leading women of the party to hightlight Gov. Palin’s “Executive Experience,” in comparison to Barack Obama. This has been the argument many have offered in defense of the newcomer as she is painfully being introduced on the national stage. After admitting this election “is not about the issues” facing the American people.
Up until approx. 18 months ago Gov. Palin was indistinguishable from millions of proud Americans: A mediocre student (U of Idaho Grad), a self professed hockey mom, PTA member, sports newscaster, hunter and fisherwoman, anti-choice devout person of faith, and mayor of a small town.
In constrast, Sen. Obama’s during that same time had graduated top of his class at Harvard Law School, become a civic leader in his own right, Constitutional Law Professor, State Senator of eight years (Ill.), elected to the United States Senate where he served on the Veteran Affairs and Foreign Relations committees.
In the time since, Obama has campaigned to become THE President of the United States of America, defeating the nations largest and richest, most connected political machine in America in the process. He has traveled the world throughout his life, most recently meeting with the leaders of foreign nations to discuss the worlds greatest problems.
In contrast, Governor Palin admitted her focus was on state matters, getting her information on matters such as war, from the television. This is without mentioning the issues of her past that have been brought to the nations attention since last Friday.
Taking nothing away from the Governor, their resumes, despite the McCain campaign’s talking points are not comparable in any light.
In America, we need to have an honest conversation about how to move past the partisan fighting that is holding us back from reaching our potential. We cannot and will not if we are stuck arguing about some of the most trivial matters.
Democrats have made an issue over the Palin pick only because John McCain and the republican party have fought to make this election about Obama’s resume, about his accomplishments – only to tap a small state governor who, no disrespect, doesn’t meet the vice presidential standard John McCain had set himself (and he’s really old).
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:45 pmMcCain had much longer time to find a VP running mate.
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:45 pmHe was the Republican Party nominee long time before Obama.
While Obama was competing with Hillary, McCain had all the time he needed to find a running mate…unforunately he flopped big time by choosing Sarah,after meeting her once.
That says a lot about McCain’s presidency and his judgment.
Hey Ruptureready/Daryll,
How are you and the other 137 delegates that bothered to show up in St. Paul getting along?
Had any miracles happen yet?
And how is that Baby Daddy, Live “Jeans” Johnston doing? Remember, the dude who is a “f’ng Redneck and doesn’t want kids, Just wants to be sh!ttin”.
Gotta be a real ass-et to the Righties, huh? Makes all the trailor trash feel right at home.

September 3rd, 2008 at 3:57 pmMcCain/Palin/Jesus ‘08.
So what office is Jeebus running for, vice-God?
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:58 pmNot to mention McCain’s fetish for beauty pageant queens. First wife,second wife,VP choice (possible third wife maybe?)
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:58 pmIt scares me that there are seemingly intelligent people who actually think that Palin is qualified to be the Vice President of the United States of America. Have people become so thoroughly indoctrinated that they can’t even look at facts??
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:00 pmOn earmarks, you might want to include the fact that McCain has criticized her earmarks 3 times and her total request of $300.00/Alaskan was the highest per capita of any state in the nation. Uncle Ted was taking care of her.
Great report!
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:01 pmI can see that RaptureReady has never had children (praise Jeebus!).
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:02 pmIf people believe that Palin-Pawlenty-Falin is qualified they really aren’t seemingly intelligent.

September 3rd, 2008 at 4:03 pmTwo spokespeople from newspapers in Alaska said, “she is worse than Dan Quale.” Isn’t it funny that Obama can be ridiculed for everything and his wife made fun of but the media is not allowed to ask experience questions of Palin ?

September 3rd, 2008 at 4:06 pmHey rapture, allowing a small child to say hi is a far cry from outing your teenage mother to be daughter. Get real. Even dragging all the kids on stage, Bristol having to carry the little guy for an hour on her shoulder is pretty crappy.

It must kill you cons to be exposed as the hypocrites that you are. The ‘Party of Family Values’ is getting hoisted on its own petard. I can only imagine the collective vapors you clowns would have if the table was turned and it was Obama’s unwed daughter pregnant and his campaign bringing the babbydaddy on stage to take a bow.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:08 pmShe’s the face of republican motherhood. A two-faced fraud. A white trash bimbo, and a phoney christian.

September 3rd, 2008 at 4:09 pmHmmm, that doesn’t square with my Bible study.
God the Father is the one who created all this mess.
He sent his only begotten Son to Mary. That isn’t the beginning of time>?
Which fake bible are you using, Darlyy?
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:09 pmIs this rapture dude using sarcasm or is he is really this dense?
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:10 pmJust how does one “know” that Jesus has been here from begining of time. Did you ever talk to anyone that saw him or her, Jesus could have been a woman if there was a real Jesus. You are quoting from a book written by men and their opinion of a speech.

How freaking drunk do you have to be to get a DWI in ALASKA??
September 3rd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
I dunno…but back in the day when Bush and Cheney got their multiple DUI tickets, you had to be farouking SHIT-FACED here in New Mexico (New Mexico finally did away with their drive-through liquor windows about a decade ago).
I did a fair amount of drunk driving in those days. Early, early mornings would find me fairly often pulled off the interstate, parked under a bridge, sleeping off the pitchers of tequila sunrises I’d have consumed chasing pussy at the T-Bird in Placitas, before trying to get home the 45 miles or so to Santa Fe. Many, (embarrassingly) many times, I’ve been awakened by a gentle tapping at the driver’s side window, where there’d be a Stater inquiring if I was alright. Upon my assurance that i was just sleeping off a buzz, they’d wave and drive away…
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:10 pmThat was circa 1970, within a couple of years either way. And it wasn’t true just in New Mexico. It was pretty universal: To get a DUI ticket, you had nearly to be unconscious behind the wheel of a moving vehicle…
Daryll, have you found yourself a clean party boy yet? Remeber if you use condoms you won’t get the AIDS, but if your’e really concerned just get a “massage” with a happy ending. you’ll be glad you did. Don’t worry, everyone else at your convention is doing the same thing.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:10 pmPerhaps BarbieWinkle would like to show us all how to kill and dress a wolf.

It’s the “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” Party. They have institutionalized the very principles that they’ve railed against for the past 40 years or so. The Republican Party is cratering under the weight of its on irony.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:12 pmsatirev; do you have a link to Brokaw kicking Mittens ass?
I would love to watch that.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:13 pmAs amusing as all this is folks, we’re in serious trouble if the repubs steal this election. She will be the president, and she will be a dictator. She will ban harry potter books, she will use the FBI and the SS to spy on people and have democrats arrested for not supporting her. she is evil.

satirev,
Yea I read it as soon as his name showed up but it has all been sanitized now and a bunch of bullshit statements about wanting kids, etc, have been put in as well.
Also, did you see how they shaved his scraggly beard and greasy hair before he showed up in St. Paul? Must have taken a lot of soap, razors and deodorant to clean that hillbilly up!
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:24 pmRaptureReady Says:
Have you had chance to listen to her pastor… He does not sugarcoat the word of God.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:04 pm
_______
Just like Jeremiah Wright, right? He didn’t sugarcoat his words either.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:25 pmRepublicans are up-set with the media’s digging into the past of Palin. The media is simply doing the vetting that the McCain campaign failed to do.
Can you imagine if the Obama campaign had picked a VP in the same manner? Reps would crucify Obama and his pick. And God help that VP choice if she had a pregnant 17 y.o. at home.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:26 pmDarryl my little Christian buddy, you have to realize that not everyone “shakes the devil” to the pretty pictures in the Bible. I think you are prettty unique in that regard.
I am curious about the nativity scene you profess to like so much is it the vision of tapping Mother Mary that causes the woody devil, or the baby Jesus, the donkey, or is it the three wise men having their way with you over and over that spills the seed for you?
If you are real, you are one sick fck Brother Daryll, and you give the real Christians a bad name. I even think you may be working for the other side. It is Christians like you that drive people away from your religion. Coincidence?
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:26 pmHey rapture and who defines what is pornography ? It still is an individual’s right (today) to decide what they want to read, see or hear. Or do as well.

You are a piker! As I understand it, Palin has been hunting FOR the father of her Grandson Trig for months.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:36 pmDaryll – check out a quote from Sarah’s preacher:
‘During his appearance with Palin in June, he declared, “I believe Alaska is one of the refuge states in the last days, and hundreds of thousands of people are going to come to the state to seek refuge and the church has to be ready to minister to them.”‘
Sounds like you’d better plan your move to Alaska!
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:37 pmKalnins bristled at the treatment President Bush was receiving over the federal government’s handling of Hurricane Katrina. “I hate criticisms towards the President,” he said, “because it’s like criticisms towards the pastor — it’s almost like, it’s not going to get you anywhere, you know, except for hell. That’s what it’ll get you.”
Sound familiar?
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:38 pmYeah, Darlyy, there’s gotta be some plum DOD jobs in Alaska, like ana!yzing moose droppings, or wolf bait or something.

September 3rd, 2008 at 4:50 pmIf there is a God, let bush/cheney/mccain be punished for sending over 4000 young men and women to die for their greed.
Forget this rapture nut two right-wing hacks got caught going off their talking points when they THOUGHT their mic was off and admitted they think Palin is terrible. Peggy Reagan Noonan went so far as to say that it’s over. This election is just getting better all the time.

That’s because the self-righteous crap spewed by Darryl and Dobson and the Rapture-Ready freaks isn’t Christianity. It has absolutely nothing to do with the guy who lived in Palestine two millenia ago and told us to be nice to each other. Whatever fake prophet Darryl follows is the polar opposite of Christ.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:53 pmWHOA!!! All this in less than a week! If the media does it’s job properly, some smart person’s got a ready made bestseller! Science fiction, but a bestseller just the same. Seriously though, I think the media ought to be very serious and diligent about providing us with as much truthful information as you find. This is an election that can not be ignored and it is our job as good citizens to know about the people we elect to run our country.People need to hear all sides of the issues before making a decision. You, as journalists have the duty to find everything you can out about her and let the public know. It is NOT the job of the McCain campaign to tell you to back off finding out about this woman and her past.If I were you, I’d take major offense to that!! Actually, it would make me want to dig more. We’d be very grateful for your input. PS. DON’T BACK OFF IN YOUR SEARCH FOR ANSWERS! I think they protest a little too much…something else is out there that we don’t know yet…

September 3rd, 2008 at 5:17 pmI think a section on “What fellow Alaskans think” would be great- e.g. the 2 newspapers that were shocked by her nomination– one even said she’s not fit for the VP job. There’s a lot of negativity towards her up there.
And McCain’s whole “leave her alone” schtick, and his refusal to be on Larry King– what garbage! First, McCain, Fox & all the right wing radical pundits have trashed Obama & his wife on everything they say, twisting & smearing their comments into nasty lies. The items on Palin are facts. Guess Repubs still can’t take the truth, & whine about it being brought out. Second- the Larry King thing- a polite, professionally worded question about Palin brings that over-the-top response from McCain? So, the media is not allowed to ask questions about Palin, while Fox et al skip the honest questions & jump to the lying smears night after night after night? Repubs are whining, cringing hypocrites, particularly when the truth comes out. We don’t fall for their hysterics any more. Is this what we can expect from McCain/Palin– don’t ask us any questions or we’ll have hissy-fits?
Finally, the only sexism being blatantly flaunted here comes from the Repubs themselves– trying to say that, because Palin is a woman, we must not ask questions, must not want to know more about her, must not demand to know who this person is that might be VP. Some demented McCain supporter said- would a man be subject to such scrutiny?– uh, yes- Repubs swift boat Democrat men on every issue, every day. A total sexist flip-flop after how they questioned everything about Obama & his wife (who isn’t even running!), & continue to do so, on & on & on. Grow up, Repubs. You are showing yourselves to be snivelling, whining children.
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:44 pmThis is a good thing to keep up to date and it is important to note that none of this has anything to do with her being a woman. I have real problems with Sarah Palin’s stand on the issues, not that I would expect anything less from John McCain’s running mate.
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:52 pmI thought Christians were supposed to use the teachings of Jesus to guide their own lives, not the lives of every other person on earth. If you need an example, check out Jimmy Carter. Somehow he managed ti follow his religious convictions without flaunting them or shoving them down the throats of us non-believers.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:10 pmAlright, That’s it!!! I am drafting my letter of resignation tonight. Given the choice of career versus enjoying the freakshow which is Darryl, I quit!
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:45 pmSee I even mispelled Daryll. Please D you have to offer evening performances for us working class groupies…
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:47 pmThe Sarah Palin Digest: What We Know About McCain’s Running Mate»
For starters, we know she kicked the crap out of Obama last night in her acceptance speach.
We know that she can relate to everyday Americans.
We know that she has more executive experience than either Biden or Obama.
We know that she has the highest approval rating of any governor in America.
We know that the democrats are terrified of her.
Can’t wait to see her and Biden debate. I think that you will all be UN-pleasantly suprised :-)
September 4th, 2008 at 11:40 amthis morning on CNN, McCain spokesperson Nicolle Wallace did not deny that Palin cut Alaska’s budget for special needs programs by 62%.
the youtube video is here as of right now.
of course that was before she had a special needs child. Which brings me to my point. Both of the republican principals have shown that they will change their minds without reservation when it suits them.
McCain was anti-drilling until he talked to the oil companies. He was anti-torture until the party made him fall in line. He though Iran was training al qaeda until Joe Lieberman whispered in his ear.
Palin was for the bridge to nowhere until she found out alaska would have to pay for it. She was for transparent government until it started investigating her for troopergate. And she was against funding programs for special needs children until she had one of her own.
The moral (hehe!) of the story is this: if McCain/Palin wins, you’d better hope to god that your *personal* interests align with theirs, or you can hire enough lobbyists to get the point across. Otherwise, you’re screwed.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:57 pmLets see ,she opposed the bridge to no-where but kept the $400 MILLION .
September 4th, 2008 at 8:16 pmHey Sarah -it was always about the money,stupid!!!!!
You might as well have built it.
Big deal she didnt have an abortion!! She couldnt !
What person sitting in public office could.
I mean really -Please!
Then now because she had a down syndrome baby she supports that cause . Previously in Alaska she cut 62% funding for special needs families.
This is more of the same .
Watch what in front of your eyes not whats in my hand .
We aint falling for these same old tactics again
no matter how well Lil ole Miss Sarah does!!!!!
Oh yea I forgot she started her campaign the way all good republicans do today, by using WEDGE ISSUSES. The former mayor couldnt beleive what Sarah brought to Alaska.
September 4th, 2008 at 8:34 pmChristian Conservetivism !!
She said Wallisa will have its frist christian mayor(by God.)
The former mayor felt like a heathen , although he beleived in God he didnt go to church much.
Well , here come’s Miss Wedge and voila Miss Wallisa becomes mayor . Now they ‘ll play that down until needed. Obama will win, but hypothedically after they won then they’ll push those veiws that they kept undercover but ones she had all along.
The Base—–The Base
TP – You say “Palin Denies Man-Made Global Warming.” And she sure seems to when she spoke to Newsmax.
Yet back in January – in the NY Times, Palin says there is justified “worldwide concern over the proven effects of climate change”. And, “Americans should become involved in the issue of climate change by offering suggestions for constructive action to their state governments”.

September 5th, 2008 at 8:08 amTHANK YOU!!! for this collection of data. It’s essential that we all, every concerned citizen, do rapid response against this poster-child for the radical right wing.
September 5th, 2008 at 12:20 pmThank you, Lord–they LOST.

. . . he flopped big time by choosing Sarah,after meeting her once.
That says a lot about McCain’s presidency and his judgment.
Perhaps it says more about his various campaign managers’ judgmens, and about their obvious opinion that Americans are stupid.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:56 amJust like the cold war when everyone who didn’t agree with the U.S. was either a communist or a communist sympathizer. toki This poor crazy guy spent half a decade being tortured because a bunch of stupid politicians araç sorgulama were sure the NVA was in bed with the Russians (minimal help) and/or the Chinese (ancient enemy of the vietnamese). ssk sorgulama You would think he would have learned from others’ mistakes.
