That's all part of the fun, Stew. They say serious and important things and then take a few jaw punches. I loved it!!!

That leaves room though for the Dems to actually be the one to appear to claim the moral highground by insisting that the family is off limits and that the GOP is politicking as usual. I'm sure that the base loved every word of it like the Dem base loves every word that comes out of their candidate's mouth. Sometimes I just feel like I live in Bizarro world.

I don't think releasing her social Security number is taking the higher ground-imo
Democrats Release Palin's Social Security Number

Jeanie, I read the article and it seems a little confusing as to who exactly they are saying released what. I certainly do not like the release of anybody's personal info (whether they did not release the last 4 digits or not). This line in particular was a little confusing "Kevin adds: The Politico article which RedState mentions does not identify from whom the file was received, but it certainly doesn't say it's not from Democrats or a particular Democrat. That said, a better title might have been "Democratic opposition research report on Palin includes partial SSN."

I would not automatically lay it at the feet of the national Democratic Party particularly since it was done at a time when she was still mayor of Wasilla.
I would not blame any candidate for Obama's passport info being breached earlier in the election. There was also a time when a Republican State Department employee was caught searching Bill Clinton's passport records when he was running. I do not lay all these things at the feet of the national party unless I have reason to.

That was just one of many articles suggesting it was the dems-

But who else would benefit from it?

It's just funny to me, within 100 hours of the Veep announcement for Palin-

It's already out that-

Her husband has a DUI-from 1986,
Her daughters pregnancy,
Her not so good relationship with her BIL
A supposed affair
US cover saying "Babies Lies, and scams" (I'm guessing off the cuff)



Lets not kid ourselves, dirt is dug up for a reason, and it's to the benefit one of the parties.

They both do it, it is just with Palin, it has reached to a new low-

Jeanie, I'm not disputing the "suggestion that it was a dem", I'm disputing the humongous leap to "suggest that it was the Dems". Like the other examples I gave could come from a Republican, but not necessarily the Republicans.
As far as the dissemination of the info, That is to be expected nowadays. As a matter of fact, they are currently looking at editing done to her wikipedia article by someone apparently connected to her in the hours leading up to her announcement.
I'm sure that the issue with the husbands DUI was also among the things in the report that you alluded to earlier, so that would not have been a new find.
The issue with her BIL was also already common knowledge and is not just about her bad relationship with him, but her alleged firing of the Public Safety Director for not firing him.

LOL! I don't view it that way. All weaknesses and strengths should be challenged.

They have challenged her view on "abstinence" because of her daughter.

When the ball rolled around the court it came back to - "Every person makes their own decision. You can't blame all parenting on every mistake."

We know the scripture that says, "Train up a child in the way that he SHOULD go..."

So, it's all been good and it will all be over and we will watch EBAY and see if Palin is selling anything off the White House property.
