The Denver Post reported this morning:
Palin, who has been drawing huge crowds at rallies with McCain, will appear Monday at an outdoor pancake breakfast at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. Her event is open to the public, but a ticket is required…
Plans have changed, as the Rocky Mountain News updates:
Because of the high volume of requests for tickets to see Vice Presidential pick Sarah Palin at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds Monday morning, the campaign has canceled the pancake breakfast.
Instead, it will be an event for about 5,000 people and Palin will deliver remarks.
“To accommodate more people, we had to take away the table and chairs to fit everyone in,” Campaign spokesman Tom Kise said.
That’s probably exactly right, although it might have something to do with the “McCain/Palin Waffle Making Press Conference” scheduled for the Capitol on Sunday (advisory follows).
Or maybe they realized that pancakes for 5,000 people had a bit of a cost/benefit issue. Too much for Bisquick to in-kind?

Waffles.
Gibson was wrong about the Bush Doctrine.
First, there are four versions.
Second, the one Gibson cited is out of date.
And third, Gibson came across like a jerk and made Palin look smart.
She was smart enough to ask which version he wanted to discuss, and he didn’t get it.
The guy who named the first version explains:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/…
She didn’t ask which one. She didn’t speak to any specific variation. She clearly had no idea.
and she still got it wrong. She’s incompetent and completely unqualified to be President for not knowing what our foreign has been for the last 6 years.
Palin clearly has more experience then Obama. Obama is incompetent and is only interested in promoting himself over the good of the nation.
Palin connects with the people.
Obama walks in the shadow of Governor Sarah Palin.
Watch out, she’s more even more experienced than McCain. Clearly, she should replace McCain at the top of the ticket. He’s just soo old, incompetent, and more concerned about himself over the good of the nation. While on the hand she can she Russia from Alaska and eats Moose burgers…
Our stupid party put the least qualified, experienced person at the top of the ticket. I guess that is why Obama feels he has to run against Sarah Palin. He feels threatened by a strong woman. Typical male chauvinist pig response.
But while we are on the subject – Governor Palin has more executive experience then Obama, McCain and Biden combined.
let’s put mooseburger lady at the top of the ticket!
I think Sarah was busy running Alaska instead of worrying about Foreign Policy. I am sorry but that is not a point to disqualify her. She can be brought up to speed in a few short lessons about Foreign Policy and besides, President Bush has done a good job. We have not had an attack on our soil, there are big changes happening every month in Iraq and so what we made a few people mad….look at who they are!
Sarah Palin just needed to say yes, it’s her heart and values that qualify her, not textbook answers for the media. Come on…did Hillary know much about foreign policy…her stories were inflated and full of lies.
Yeah, except for a handful of attacks seven years ago. You Bush defenders keep leaving those out. They happened on his watch.
has more foreign policy experience than Palin has in her little pinky toe.
2 cups of milk
1 stick butter
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt the butter into the milk. Whisk the dry ingredients together and then mix in the melted butter and warm milk. Then whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Scrape down and put in the refrigerator overnight, at least 10 hours and up to 24 hours. The yeast will cause the batter to expand by half so be sure you put it in a large enough bowl. Mix before using in a waffle iron as you would a normal batter.
What bridge?
Oh right, that bridge she’s been lying to voters about for weeks now. What a scam artist.
That guy has so many different positions on each issue it’s like I’m getting dizzy keeping track of what he is saying now. How can anyone trust what he is saying.
It’s like McCain said. I hope Biden got it in writing (his vp pick). And, I understand that Obama is thinking about asking Biden to leave in liue of another.
He’s about the right age.
Actually its McCain who changes his opinions based on popular opinion
The conservatives I know call him “weathervane McCain” bcause he changes so quick when the wind of public opinion change.
Personally I don’t mind when people change their opinion based on new facts, its the sign of flexibility.
Nancie Lou wrote: “I understand that Obama is thinking about asking Biden to leave in liue of another.”
Never mind that it’s “in lieu.” But that’s French. Never mind.
Barring any credible source for this assertion, it is a lie.
If it’s not a lie, I expect he.she, or it to post a source that’s not Gunny Bob, Michelle Malkin, or Rush Limbaugh, REAL SOON NOW.
Regretfully, Nancy Lou is a liar.
n/t
Because otherwise someone new hitting the site here might think what she posts is accurate.
But I’m willing to give it a try.
To an attention whore, even one answer is gratifying.
It’ll take me awhile to determine why you would confuse me with her…..would it be time wasted?
Your initial post had two conflicting statements which is common for trolls. And it is very common for Republican trolls to make outlandish general statements that they think sound Democratic (they usually aren’t) while having a single all-important reason why they regretfully are supporting McCain over Obama.
If you’re for real just post what you’re thinking. People aren’t looking for agreement, just that you have a reasonably consistent viewpoint.
Of course, you will then get hammered by those that disagree with you, but on the issue, not on if you are a troll. And that kind of disagreement is what makes this site great.
I was a Clinton supporter during the primaries. I now believe that John McCain is the best person to lead this country. It is critical that we frame this election as between Doers versus Talkers. Hillary Clinton says it’s not enough for a president, who will call for change, or one who will demand change, but a president who will produce change. The promise of change without any proven ability to deliver is just another six letter word – it is easily spoken, easily broken and easily forgotten.
can you change from a Hillary supporter to a McCain supporter? Do you even care about non-superficial issues? Like, say, political issues? They disagree on nearly everything.
Its obvious. It is a recurrent theme for trolls here lately, and extremely vague – “I used to support Clinton, but now I support McCain” blah, blah, blah. “I now believe that John McCain is the best person to lead this country” blah, blah. Cutting and pasting meaningless bullshit themes from the campaign, no actual facts or basis for their argument, posing as an actual person. Blah.
Notice this troll posts’ proximity to other troll posts as well.
I also love Obama. Any woman who supports Palin/McCain is voting against the best interest of themselves, and their children.
On every issue, Obama clearly support woman and their families:
Woman’s right to choose
Early Childhood education
Clean Environment
Affordable Health Care
Raising the minimum wage
Improving Daycare and after school programs
It’s time we started talking about issues that are important to us.
Obama’s plan
1. He says he is personally against abortion (sitting on the fence on that one).
2. Early Childhood education on Sex ed. He supported curriculum that teaches kindergartners to masterbate.
3. Against drilling and the development of energy at home which forces us to send our money overseas to potential terrorists.
4. Health care: Obama against the free market system of Healthcare which results in lower quality healthcare for all and huge healtcare shortages like Canada experiences.
5. Antibusiness: Forcing companies to pay people higher wages then they are worth, forcing US jobs to relocate overseas.
6. Expanding programs that waste taxpayer money and encourage parents to check out of their responsibilities to raise their own children.
It is time we used our brains and voted Palin/McCain.
Come on Nancy II, “teaches kindergartners to masterbate” – that has got to be the strangest charge yet by the Republican thugs.
You guys will not stop at anything to win an election.
The ad drew universal condemnation because it’s a vile lie and demonstrates just how low McCain is willing to go to attain his ambition. Even more than the lipstick distraction, that McCain ad started turning McCain’s buddies in the national press.
Planned Parenthood retaliated yesterday:
You can view the Planned Parenthood ad and find a link to the McCain ad (I’m not going to post it here) at the link.
A Hillary supporter would never in a million years be for “the free market system of healthcare” that has lead to 40 million uninsured and more people than ever forced to use emergency rooms as their primary mode of health care.
Nor would a Hillary supporter ever bemoan the minimum wage.
You can’t even think like a Democrat long enough to be a convincing suckpuppet.
Have you earned your Unencumbered by the Thought Process golf bag yet?
He expects all Dems to fit into his cookie cutter mentality and agree with his failed economic policies (The SAME policies that fail every time they are tried). Talk about McSame – Obama hasn’t suggested anything new that every other socialist brings to the table under the guise of the Democratic party.
The problem is that Obama forgets that there are still enough independent minded thinking Democrats who are willing to break from a guy who just gives us warmed over Big Govt poicies – that never work.
The new Democrat party hardly represents the great party we once were when JFK was in charge.
If he wants to keep the Democrats from defecting he needs to moderate his positions.

And it gets better.
but confused in the how-to’s of sock-puppetry.
Here’s some ‘Big Government’ policies that were the centerpiece of JFK’s ‘New Frontier’ domestic agenda…
From, you guessed it, Wikipedia
and the Obama legislation was to teach kids how to avoid pervs. But lie if you must, as you are, regretfully, an idiot (and a piss-poor speller, ineffective troll, etc.)
As Dick Cavett so eloquently wrote today
Obviosuly McCain is unfit to be President and with the celebrity Palin at the top of the ticket the Republicans could even take back Congress! We all remember what a joy the past 8 years have been with them in control, so why not reward them with four more years of the same!
We know that a McCain administration will be staffed with lobbyists and neo-cons and that he will roll over for both. So it will be ab economic and international disaster.
Palin probably would also be run by those groups as she does not have the knowledge or experience to run things on her own. But unlike the fact that McCain would definitely be a disaster, Palin might be a disaster.
Might suck is better than will suck.
I think it’s great that the public has embraced Palin so quickly after her national debut. People are smart and they can spot the “real deal” when they see it. She’s the real deal, and I think McCain was smart for chosing her. Apparently the polls agree since McCain is gaining momentum!
McCain / Palin “08
We need to put Palin at the top of the ticket! As Nancy said, she’s clearly more qaulified than Obama, Bidena and McCain combined!
She truly understands American economic issues as well as geopolitical problems… and she likes mooseburgers!
I rather prefer to see Obama run against the bottom of the ticket – which is exactly what he has been doing since the Palin nomination speech.
Obama walks in the shadow of Gov. Sarah Palin.
Not so much.
only they hate her
According to USA today a dozen or so Sar-RAH lovers held a counter protest to the hundreds protesting against the Governor.
How did that work out? (Yes I know, Goodwin’s law – but I couldn’t resist.)
Obama has alot in common with Hitler. For one they are both narcissistic.
You are a disgrace. Please stop posting here.
David, that’s pretty beneath you. You’re not a disgrace, but come on.
Nancy, you’ve worn out your welcome. How very un-American of you. Please leave.
David compares Palin to Hitler. The worshipers on this site compare Obama to christ and then you want them to delete turned tables.
Typical.
And you have the audacity to complain about book banning. Perhaps you were just projecting your own pathetic tactics.
You didn’t capitalize “Christ.”
You deserve whatever happens to you.
