She wants to make a big show on TV. Palin is much more concerned about her own future that McCain's. That is very clear. Standing next to Joe Lieberman at a half-empty rally in Florida doesn't look good on TV. Face it, she's an egomaniac!

She's almost as unintentionally funny as W. This line about the Press is a classic, “I so wanted to reach into that TV and say ‘no.’ I’m going to Nebraska because I want to go to Nebraska,” As if the press is somehow mischaracterizing the McCain / Palin team of resorting to a desperate campaign strategy not to lose Nebraska’s 1 electoral vote... I wonder how many times Palin will visit the NE after her team loses on Election Day? I love Palin's comments! She's almost as unintentionally funny as W.

At Iowa Indy we have had a great deal of coverage of Mr. Biden over the past 2 years.

Feel free to attack Biden on this Web site — but out of decency at least wait until Wednesday on your line of criticism here.

Here is Fox News — hardly a liberal arbiter:

“Joe Biden will take a hiatus from the vice presidential campaign trail on Monday and Tuesday to be with his family following his wife's mother's death.

“Bonny Jean Jacobs, Jill Biden's mother, died Sunday after a long illness, the campaign announced. The funeral will be held Tuesday.

“We appreciate everyone's respect for the family's privacy during this difficult time,” Biden spokesman David Wade said in a statement.
