Where was Palin?

Where was John McCain? Not on Capitol Hill!!! Idiot!


From the NY Slimes:

"After interrupting his presidential campaign to come back to Washington on Thursday morning to try to push forward a $700 billion bailout deal, Mr. McCain remained in his condominium in Arlington, Va., until 12:30 p.m. Saturday, when he emerged and made a one-minute trip in his motorcade to his campaign headquarters around the corner.

Mr. McCain, who arrived home at 4 a.m. Saturday from the presidential debate in Oxford, Miss, could be seen in his car talking on his cell phone. But there was no word from his campaign on who he was talking to, or the extent of his involvement in ongoing negotiations.

By mid-afternoon, Mr. McCain’s closest adviser, Mark Salter, told reporters that Mr. McCain would not go to Capitol Hill on Saturday but would make phone calls to try to push the deal along. “He’s calling members on both sides, talking to people in the administration, helping out as he can,’’ Mr. Salter said.

Asked why Mr. McCain did not go to Capitol Hill after coming back to Washington to help with negotiations, Mr. Salter replied that “he can effectively do what he needs to do by phone.’’

Really? Too bad he didn't know he could do this on Thursday of last week. Almost cancelling the debate was the dumbest,most chickenshit thing to do. It reeks of desperate political stunting. You do not cancel a convention due to a Hurricane ( BTW, where's all those celebutwits having telethons for Houston?)and you dont turn down a chance to mae your case in front of the public, even if Wall Street and the FED screwed up.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. And where's Palin? Why is she in hiding? One interview with Perky?!

Something smells rotten in Denmark.

"The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol placed some of the blame on the McCain campaign for sheltering Palin from the media, and in turn placing an inordinate amount of pressure on her to perform well in the few prime-time interviews she’s been given so far.

Historian Douglas Brinkley said that after the first presidential debate Friday ended in what he called a “draw” even more attention will be on the vice presidential candidates’ face-off Thursday.

While Biden needs to “watch his tongue,” Palin needs to show that she’s ready to be president, Brinkley said."
