Palin Canceling Events Around Country

by: Colorado Pols

Fri Sep 19, 2008 at 13:20:35 PM MDT


We've just learned that vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has canceled a scheduled event in Colorado for next Tuesday, when she was slated to speak at a rally at Centennial Airport.

This latest cancellation is consistent with the abrupt change in plans for Palin around the nation, as the San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was to star at two major California fundraisers and an Orange County rally for 15,000 next week, has canceled her two-day swing through the Golden State, campaign sources said.

The change is a shocker, because Palin's presence had electrified the GOP base in California. Party insiders were distributing 15,000 tickets to her Sept. 26 rally in Orange County -- and fundraisers reported an almost instantaneous sell-out of her two $1,000-a-head Sept. 25 fundraising events in Orange County and Santa Clara.

Both fundraisers had generated such high ticket sales that the OC Lincoln Club event was moved to the Orange County Performing Arts Center, and the Bay Area event was moved from the Woodside home of Tom Siebel to the huge Santa Clara Convention Center.

The change comes in the same week a new Field Poll showed that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama still leads Republican presidential candidate John McCain in California by a whopping 16-point margin.

So Palin's pullout from her Western state swing is sure to ramp up chatter that the GOP ticket -- which has insisted it will compete here -- may be reassessing its Golden State presence. (Team McCain says it's just a scheduling issue.)

Palin Canceling Events Around Country | 134 comments
"Around country"???
What's your source for that?

I assume if there's a scheduling conflict (translation: we're giving up on California and sending Palin the Parrot someplace else to spout out the same lines over and over), she'll be seen somewhere else on Sept. 25. Maybe even Colorado?

Unless she's cancelling events EVERYWHERE and staying home to tape Todd's mouth shut or something, this isn't really that newsworthy.  

"Around the Swing States"
The line yesterday was, Palin was pulling out of her California events because she was more useful and would only be appearing in true battleground states, particularly the Midwest.

That's news though, if she's dropping a rumored Colorado appearance. Any idea where she's going instead?

My landlord called me this a.m.
and asked me if I had heard Palin's latest speech. Apparently, she sounded stilted, no sarcasm, very different from all prior speeches--my landlord thought it was downright weird.

I'm guessing the McCain campaign is retooling her message. Bad move. She was a damn good speaker, albeit an empty pantsuit.

[ Parent ]
agreed......she should stick to what she knows
   I obviously disagree strongly with about 99% of what she stands for, but she did deliver her sales pitch well at the GOP convention.  
  If the McBush handlers try to change her, it will come through as "stilted."  Let Palin be Palin!
[ Parent ]
Let Palin be Palin?
I think the real difference is between letting her be McBushlin or McPainInTheAsslin.  The latter being firmly in her comfort zone.
[ Parent ]
"Nattering nabobs of negativism"
Spiro Agnew was widely reviled as a hack, but he knew his role and handled it well. He could turn a phrase or two.

Palin is there to show herself as a real live female, and to spout the lines that Bush's speechwriter has written for her. Nothing more. Each time she gets off message and tries to say something spontaneous, she botches it up.

God help us if we elect McCain and he dies in office...

[ Parent ]
John McBush's running mate, Marge Gunderson
would probably appeal better to the electorate in the upper Midwest, Minnesota and Fargo than she does to the informed people in Colorado.
[ Parent ]
I would vote for Sheriff Marge!
...she had the brains and the nerve, and she supported her husband's little stamps.
[ Parent ]
I'd vote for her for Sheriff, too
She'd probably also make a good Mayor of Wasilla, and perhaps even an OK one-term governor of Alaska.

I'm just not comfortable with her as the potential Leader of the Free World.

[ Parent ]
California, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Florida
I guess I'd say that's "around the country".
Just google "palin cancels events".
[ Parent ]
Some of it's just scheduling
and trying to keep the First Dude one step ahead of his subpoenas. The California, Wyoming and Washington cancellations fit with the "all swing states all the time" strategy, but the Colorado and Florida ones don't. Have to see where she reschedules, they could be keeping her in the Upper Midwest if polling shows she's making Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin competitive.

[ Parent ]
yet another example of the differences between Dems and Repubs
   Todd Palin ignores subpoenas.  Yet I recall a certain Democratic First Lady who complied with a subpoena (evenly a clearly politically-motivated subpoena) to appear and testify back in 1995 in the infamous Whitewater investigation (which by the way, came to the stunning conclusion that the Clintons did not get rich off of the Whitewater development project).
[ Parent ]
not to disagree
but to clarify. The Whitewater investigation found NO wrongdoing by either Clinton.

Hasn't CA had a Repub governor for years?
..Arnold now, Pete Wilson in the 90's?  Only briefly interrupted by Bland-Gray Davis.  The point is, Republicans can win California.  Only Bush and McCain have failed miserably.
[ Parent ]
Pete Wilson blew up a lot of bridges for the GOP in his racist campaign for re-election in 1994
   He won the election (which wasn't all that hard to do if you had the "R" after your name in that particular election year) but he badly damaged the GOP in California by running a Tancredo-type campaign against Latinos.
  Arnold has been able to woo some of them back, but only to vote for him.  After the Governator leaves office, most Latinos will go back to voting for the Dems.

Is this the same CA that gave wings to Ward Connerly?

[ Parent ]
Don't try to get California to make sense

[ Parent ]
I won't.
...I will simply point out, as I have before, that California can be had by either party.  It's a mixed bag generally, yet the Repubs have written it off on the national level.  That's interesting.....even telling.
[ Parent ]
I'll admit it...
When my fellow Californians vote for Gov we have no idea what we're doing.  

Assembly, State Senate, US Senate, basically every state-wide office, and President we know what we're doing and vote Dem.  Then that pesky Gubernatorial choice comes up and we go nuts...

It's kinda like Wyoming...repub everything but a Dem Gov for all but 8 of the last 34 years...

Why is this news?
Is this supposed to make her look bad or something?
No, she already looks bad
Canceling an event in Centennial is news. It raises the question whether the Palin deployment strategy is changing, and also insinuates there might be a problem around the corner so she's canceling appearances to deal with it. The first is probably true, the second speculative.

She's preparing for the debates.

Which are coming up soon.

[ Parent ]
Can you imagine the amount of work to prep for the debate...
I'm sure her head is spinning.  I heard that she went to 6 different colleges in 5 years.  She better prep a bit better for the debates than she performed in college!

they forgot they left their newborn home alone, since First Dude has been on the trail with her solid since they left Alaska last Friday.

Haners is certainly right, she's doing debate prep, but so is Biden and he isn't jumping off the campaign trail.  

"Please don't eat any peanuts out of anyone's crap." - LaughingBoy

[ Parent ]
Biden gave something like 54 press conferences
in the two weeks after the Republican convention that Palin gave not a single one.

We can forgive him for occasionally making a less-than-stellar remark. At least he TALKS HIS OWN COMPLETE SENTENCES.

Palin is the Moose-churian Candidate.

[ Parent ]
Biden cam multitask
Press conferences, speeches, debate prep, Senate work.
If Palin is getting off the road to do debate prep, I wonder how the neocon cram sessions are going. She's getting the talking points down, but can she debate a Senator with experience in foreign policy that goes beyond your home's proximity to Russia?

"What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." - Christopher Hitchens
[ Parent ]
Maybe they are writing her some new talking points
and catch phrases.  She's seriously worn out the ones she's been using over and over. Even worshipful Hannity mentioned the frequency of her use of the word 'reform", granted in a worshipful way.  
[ Parent ]
Hannity had his nose so far up her butt
it was coming out her mouth. (Ewww, sorry.) He was absolutely shamelessly softballing  his interview questions, to the point that it probably hurt Palin among undecideds. ("What, she can't answer a single hard question?")
[ Parent ]
Cancelling Colorado is very strange
By every measure they should have her here - we are one of the 5 key states, she got a great reception here both times so far, and cancelling is always taken by people negatively.

I find it hard to believe they don't have a major reason for this - either bad news about to drop or that she is hurting more than she's helping.

Tea party support in the primary.

[ Parent ]
She's supposed to do an event
in Grand Junction late next week, who knows if there were just logistical difficulties with the Centennial event, or she's needed at a crucial dinner in Ohio. It's not like they're pulling the campaign from the state.

"Please don't eat any peanuts out of anyone's crap." - LaughingBoy
[ Parent ]
Unless
Personally I think she's preping for the debate.  

Remember, she dropped off of the radar right before her speech, and everyone thought she was being hidden because she was a liability or something.  Then she emerged and knocked her speech out of the park.

Now she's dropping off of the radar again, maybe two weeks before the debate.  History repeats itself!

[ Parent ]
She's still being kept
from the press, which is what happened before her speech at the RNC. By next week, she will have done three interviews -- two of them in newsmagazine style, with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric, and one with the sycophantic Sean Hannity. You can spin it as a good thing, but the American public is turning on her after the novelty wears off, and putting her back under wraps will only accelerate that impression.

"Please don't eat any peanuts out of anyone's crap." - LaughingBoy
[ Parent ]
I don't see the public turning on her
The polls still have her as more popular then Obama, McCain, or Biden.

The media is still doing their best to bury her, but she's still holding out.

Hold onto that dream.  

There are a number of polls that show Palin's drop.  But hey, why let those things get in the way of your unfettered optimism.  Just because she lies, refuses to answer any specifics on her qualifications, stonewalls investigations, loads up on pork, and--did I mention--lies, that shouldn't make her unsuitable for VP, I mean after all, look at the current VP.

You mean like
the unbelievably idiotic things she's said in the last day?

"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first," Palin said. "So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."

A blogger tries to make sense of it.

Face it. America's infatuation with the moose-hunting governor is over. Now her lack of qualifications, extreme positions, history of lying, record of vindictive politics and inability to speak coherently without a teleprompter are all coming home to roost.

This amazes me
McCain is speaking about the economic crisis as if he were surprised that putting leashes on regulators allowed some CEOs to take risks, causing their companies to fail. He was surprised? Didn't this happen in the 80's, around the Keating 5 days? Did he forget?
No wonder he wants to keep Palin off the road. If someone asks her about the economy, she can regale them with how she spent $50,000 on her new mayor's office without advising the city council.
Fiscal responsibility indeed.

You Obama-devotees are hilarious -
while you incessantly attempt to belittle and ridicule Sarah Palin as shallow and insignificant, you are, simultaneously, obsessed with her as John McCain's VP pick. To thinking people, it appears, based upon your school-yard taunts and smirking remarks, that you actually are afraid of Sarah Palin. For if she is as truly irrelevant as you wish her to be, she would not pose any threat to the electability of your Obamessiah and thus would not warrant commenting on. I think that you all, like me, know that this simply isn't the case - Palin is derailing Obama!

...because her lack of qualifications is truly breath taking.  

No Dem ever said this about Cheney, did we?  We didn't LIKE his qualifications, but at least no one doubted his ability in the office or that of the president.

And yes, we are obsessed because so many Americans are stupid enough (see 2004 election) to think she is qualified.  The mayor of Austin, a city with the population of Alaska, is at least as well qualified......and he or she doesn't need to know what the Bush Doctrine is.

Hell, I no enough about law and our politics to be an effective VP by the Palin standard.  And that's not saying much. (And I do know what the phrase "Bush Doctrine" means, despite the Republican spinners.)

David Brooks, Conservative Columnist for the NY Times says it correctly.
Democracy is not average people selecting average leaders. It is average people with the wisdom to select the best prepared.

Sarah Palin has many virtues. If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she'd be your woman. But the constructive act of governance is another matter. She has not been engaged in national issues, does not have a repertoire of historic patterns and, like President Bush, she seems to compensate for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness.


[ Parent ]
Your final analysis is wrong - Palin has already jumped the shark - but you're right about us Dems being too obsessed with her
We were playing right into McCain's cynical strategy in picking her. Now, thank heavens, we're focusing more on what matters.

No, we drove her negatives up
A week ago she had surprisingly high approval ratings. Now her net favorability is the lowest of the four. The only people who still like her are McCain's base.

Why Sarah Palin is in the witness protection program
from DailyKOS - keep in mind that while KOS is a left-wing site, they have hired Research 2000 to do their tracking and release the full results daily. So the poll is about as good as they come.

She's headed for Bush/Cheney numbers. They've got to be freaking right now trying to figure out what they should do with her. Because the McCain campaign has got to see the same numbers in their internals.

Too early for her to be prepping for the debates
Nobody will know what McCain's current positions are until the day of the debate. :)

Maybe she preps with multiple choice answers like:

A) McCain favors deregulating everything
B) McCain favors regulating everything
C) McCain has no idea what to regulate

Everyone in the McCain camp are praying the she doesn't get asked about the McCain doctrine.  Better to keep on the road talking about how we can afford trillion dollar bail outs AND tax cuts without borrowing more money from China.  Stay with what you know even if it is an impossible lie.

Maybe its Trig and because she can see Russia from her house she is getting a load of this...

I had a coworker once....

Posting that is really low
Pols - please delete.

Tea party support in the primary.

I agree, Pols, please delete that particular post
It's disgusting.

Breastfeeding is one of the most beautiful, most natural things there are. That video was plainly intended to sexualize it. It's inappropriate.

[ Parent ]
Agree. Tadpole must be on the sauce again.
as in booze, or meth, or something.  Creep.

Sentinel reporting stop in GJ by McCain and/or Palin
McCain, Palin plan stop in GJ, campaign promises

Either Republican presidential candidate John McCain or vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will come to Grand Junction before Election Day, the campaign's Colorado spokesman confirmed Friday.

If it's and/or
Maybe they'll get to choose. Who do you think they'd pick?

If its McCain, he'll be talking to crickets
and a few Prairie Dogs.  Maybe a blue-haired Club20 denizen or three.

Palin will bring out the loonies that support Rowland en masse.  

My guess is it'll be either Palin or both.  McCain doesn't want her to stage in coup in Junction after all...he needs to keep her on a leash so she doesn't keep talking about a Palin/that other guy ticket.
