After getting caught with rabid, freaky supporters that are making them look pretty bad, John McCain and Sarah Palin have been forced to tone down the anti-Obama rhetoric that leaves the crowds shouting "he's a terrorist." Instead, they're going old school and comparing plans, etc.
Meanwhile, polar ice caps aren't the only thing melting down in Alaska. So is Palin's governorship. Your Daily Palin:
Sarah Palin's rural adviser resigned from her position. Why? Because she's not a native Alaskan. She thinks the position should be filled with someone who has Native Alaskans' interests at heart, which is what everybody thought when Palin made the unusual appointment two years ago.
Also, the former public safety commissioner caught up in Troopergate says Palin's credibility has taken a huge hit in the entire mess.
Not only that, but the whole reason for choosing her as a running mate -- that she would appeal to women voters -- isn't working. Women are leaving the GOP in droves.
Actually, men must be too, because they're dispatching Palin to Indiana, a state the GOP shouldn't actually have to campaign in this close to the general election.
But Hank Williams Jr. will tell you (actually, he'll sing it to you) this is all the media's fault. McCain's campaign strategist agrees.
Tina Fey promised to she'd "leave Earth" if Palin wins. And, in any case, she won't continue her role as the marble-mouthed candidate after Nov. 4.
On to the family who can do no wrong, here's how Michelle Obama makes all this travel and campaigning and time away from the kids work (hint: she gets loads of help).
In another effort to get the economy back on track, the U.S. will invest $250 billion dollars in banks and secure shares on behalf of taxpayers. Technically, it's called "nationalizing," but for purposes of keeping one's head in the sand, it's called unfreezing credit.
Will the Dow continue to gain as it did yesterday? Or is it just being a tease?
No teasing, docs say kids aren't getting enough Vitamin D and that they should take supplements. In the next breath, they say hmmm, we're not too sure how much is enough!
She's not breastfeeding but she's hamming it up for the camera. Check out the next round of "intimate family portaits" shot by Brad Pitt of his lovely wife Angelina Jolie and their kids. Let's just be honest, this couple loves attention. There. We said it.
PS: LA is on fire!
