She did really good.
I do like her a lot, she added life to the party.

Newest Palin Smear: She Cut Special Needs Budget
I just watched CNN's Soledad O'Brien sandbag former White House Communications Director Nicole Wallace by asking her how Sarah Palin can claim to be a defender of special needs children when she cut the budget for that Alaska office by 62 percent. Wallace wasn't familiar with the charge -- which isn't surprising, since it's only being made on DailyKos and another liberal site. (Tip for Ms. O'Brien: DailyKos is not a reliable news site.)
This charge is based on looking at the budget for Alaska's Special Education Service Agency for 2007-2009. In fact, the December 2006 budget document that they cite would have been prepared by the outgoing administration -- that of Republican Frank Murkowski, whom Palin defeated.
What's gone unmentioned is that the Palin signed into law a dramatic reform of the state's education financing system that equalizes aid to rural and urban districts, while significantly increasing funding for special needs students. From the publication Education Week:
Gov. Sarah Palin and state lawmakers have gone ahead with an overhaul of Alaskaâ??????s school funding system that supporters predict will provide much-needed financial help to rural schools and those serving students with disabilities.
The plan, enacted in the recently concluded session of the legislature, is based on recommendations issued by a legislative task force last year. It will phase in a greater flow of money to districts outside of Anchorage, Alaskaâ??????s largest city, over the next five years.
Advocates for rural and remote schools have lobbied for years for more funding, in particular noting the higher fuel, transportation, and other costs associated with providing education in communities scattered across the vast state.
A second part of the measure raises spending for students with special needs to $73,840 in fiscal 2011, from the current $26,900 per student in fiscal 2008, according to the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (emphasis added).
So the Netroots and CNN allege that Palin cut special needs funding by 62 percent, by crediting her with the budget proposed by a political opponent. And the truth is that rather than a 62 percent cut, she's actually increasing special needs funding by 175 percent.
It's no wonder a majority of Americans think the media is trying to hurt Palin.

They are.............no doubt that the media is liberal. Always has been.
Read this article about Palin's speechwriter, Matthew Scully.
I am surprised by the reaction to Palin's speech, even by sophisticated people. Almost all politicians have a team of speechwriters that outline, brainstorm, draft, write, and re-write speeches. Palin's speech was written before she was even chosen, with her bio pieces added after she was selected.
Here is an article on the speechwriter, Matthew Scully

No politicians write their own speeches.. that's not a secret. The buzz is about her delivery.. it was flawless.
I know. And that is the problem.
I don't think any does that anymore, much like writing letters...no one really does it anymore.
Whose the last President to write his own speeches?
Lincoln was a great writer by the way.

You're telling me!! Obama's on the brink of the presidency solely on his ability to deliver a speech!

He speaks well.
I agree with you busylivin.
His charisma and ability to speak is one of the big reasons why he's gotten so far.
I agree with you.
Unfortunately, for a large percentage of the voting populace, actual pure policy doesn't matter.
Looks, oratory skills, "likeability" and crafting and branding and image, are what matters.
This is why candidates to on the Jay Leno, Letterman, and Oprah TV shows. This is why they interview for a People magazine article and cover shot.
Low-info voters.
For once I agree with you.
Surely this is a sign of some impending apocolyptic event.
real 4 horsemen kind of stuff.
Actually dg806 and I agree more often than not. I am just not arsed to post as so.Surely this is a sign of some impending apocolyptic event.
Regardless of who wins the election. Nothing in the US will change. There will be some new faces. Some new symbolic changes.
But everything will chug along as it did before.
And that does mean, the middle class will continue to get squeezed, the government will spend more that it takes in, and the costs for most good and services will outstrip wages.
Oh shit, again I agree. The two parties are pretty much the same now. Big government and high taxes. Damn, I better take cover for that storm that is coming. Surely this is a bad sign
The AIP have no reason to lie. Plus SHE never said she wasn't, McCain's campaign said she wasn't. Do you really think they are going to admit she was in the AIP?
1) Palin â?????Joined a Secessionist Political Partyâ???
The Charge: Unsubstantiated internet reports insisted Palin was once a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which critics call a secessionist political movement but supporters say is dedicated to seeking greater state control over federal lands across Alaska.
The Facts: Palin has been a registered Republican since 1982. There is no record of her ever being a member of the AIP, or any party but the GOP. Palinâ??????s huband has been a member of the AIP in the past, but since 2002 has been a registered independent.
(See: Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member Alaska Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com)
2) Palin Supported a â?????Nazi Sympathizerâ???
The Charge: â?????Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or, as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer,â??? Obama Florida spokesman Mark Bubriski was quoted as saying in a Miami Herald article.
The Facts: While mayor of Wasilla, Palin wore a Buchanan button during the sometimes presidential candidateâ??????s 1999 visit. But Palin actually supported Steve Forbes in 2000, and served as a co-chair on his Alaska campaign.
In the weeks after the 1999 report of her wearing the Buchanan button, Palin said: â?????When presidential candidates visit our community, I am always happy to meet them. Iâ??????ll even put on their button when handed one as a polite gesture of respect. â???¦ The article may have left your readers with the perception that I am endorsing this candidate, as opposed to welcoming his visit to Wasilla.â???
(See: Obama campaign advisor quote is from an e-mail sent to the Miami Herald Obama camp connects the dots for Jews: McCain...Palin...Buchanan..."Nazis" | Naked Politics)
3) Palin â?????Wants Creationism Taught in Schoolâ???
The Charge: Palin opposes the teaching of evolution, and would mandate the teaching of creationism in the stateâ??????s public schools.
The Facts: Palin said during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign that she would not push the state Board of Education to add creation-based alternatives to the stateâ??????s required curriculum, or look for creationism advocates when she appointed board members. She has kept this pledge, according to the Associated Press.
Palin has spoken in favor of classroom discussions of creationism, in some cases. â?????I donâ??????t think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesnâ??????t have to be part of the curriculum,â??? Palin told the Anchorage Daily News in a 2006 interview.
(See: â?????Creation scienceâ?????? enters the race; Palin is only candidate to suggest it should be discussed in schools. By Tom Kizzia, Anchorage Daily News, 27 October 2006)
4) Palin â?????Was Nearly Recalledâ??? While Mayor
The Charge: Palin was so controversial as mayor of Wasilla that she was almost recalled by a popular voter movement.
The Facts: The Wasilla City Council considered but never took up a recall motion after she fired a longtime police chief, who subsequently brought a lawsuit. A citizenâ??????s group dropped their recall bid, and a judge ruled Palin had the authority to fire the chief.
(See: Foes Back Off Push to Recall Mayor Foes back off their push to recall mayor (2/11/1997): Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com)
5) Palin â?????Opposes Sex Educationâ???
The Charge: Palin opponents say Palin supported the end of all sex education in public schools. In light of her daughterâ??????s presumably unplanned teen pregnancy, this has been a particularly well discussed internet topic.
The Facts: â?????The explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support,â??? Palin wrote in a 2006 questionnaire distributed among gubernatorial candidates. Palin favors abstinence-based sex education programs.
(See: McCain fought money on teen pregnancy programs, By Sharon Theimer, Associated Press, Sept. 2, 2008)
6) â?????This Picture Proves Palin is â???¦â???
The Charge: A slew of fake, Photoshopped or misdated photographs on the internet purport to show Palin in any number of embarrassing or compromising poses. One photo claimed to show Palin standing poolside, wearing an American flag-themed bikini, toting a rifle with telescopic sight.
The Facts: The various photos are being discredited and shown to be fake on a number of websites. The original of the so-called bikini shot, probably the best-known of the pictures, was shown to have been taken of another woman, with Palinâ??????s head Photoshopped above the body.
(See: Call to Arms, snopes.com: Sarah Palin Photos)
7) Palin is the grandmother, and not the mother, of Trig Palin
The Charge: The most salacious rumor of all, this theory holds that Palin did not give birth to her son Trig in April, and was actually covering up for her daughter, Bristol.
The Facts: There are a number of photographs showing an apparently pregnant Sarah Palin, as well as a number of published eyewitness accounts of her pregnancy. These include First Lady Laura Bush, who says she spoke with a pregnant Palin at a governorâ??????s conference in February. An assignment manager for KTVA news in Anchorage, Cherie Shirey, has also been quoted saying: â?????We worked with Governor Palin many times in 2008. Our reporters worked her on location and in the studio and I worked with her myself. She was definitely pregnant. You could see it in her belly and her face. The whole idea that Sarah Palin wasnâ??????t pregnant with Trig is completely, absolutely absurd.â???
stop posting such dribble. facts are not meant to be posted here
My bad...Won't happen again!
Oh shit, again I agree. The two parties are pretty much the same now. Big government and high taxes. Damn, I better take cover for that storm that is coming. Surely this is a bad sign
I think it's a good thing we agree, because I do think these statistics speak for themselves. It's getting tougher, economically for everyone, IMO.
The unemployment (u3) rate is now 6.1%, but in reality it's higher.
As for the storms, Hanna is coming soon, and Ike is supposed to hit Florida by the middle of next week. Ike could be bad.
And we live in a time where generations of families are raised on " the system "with no intention of working.Unemployment is multifactorial .

I have overly religious people, and Palin is just that.
In your basement? You monster!
Remember, the welfare reforms acts passed in the 1990s.
I think the AFDC limit is 5 years maximum for life. Yes, there are some disability scams and such, but I think it's not a prevalent as it was before the welfare reform acts of the 1990s. I haven't seen the data.
