I can see why her mother in law doesn't like her very much.

That's one mean, angry person.

1. And her in-laws weren't there, were they?

[Ilsa]

2. And I get the impression that she isn't into her kids all that much.

The tabloid pics of her with the baby indicate distance, not a well-bonded mother-baby couple. If I was her MIL, I'd hate her too, just for that.

3. The National Enquirer is breaking a story that suggests she had an affair with her

husbands business partner. May explain a little tension with the in-laws.

7. You know, the last time they ran a story about some candidate having an affair,

they were pretty much spot on, iirc. Just sayin'...

5. Bad first impression

I agree that she came across as angry, spiteful, caustic, mocking, condescending (am I missing anything here???) I think she overplayed it, and the voters will contrast that with Obama's class. For cryin' out loud, even the Huckster was respectful and somewhat classy in his remarks about Obama. She just came across as mean. That might appeal to repubs, but it won't go over well with independents who watched both conventions.

6. If they have any basic decency..

they'll see it that way.

Welcome to DU, btw!

10. basic decency?

You're kidding right?

:rofl:

[girl gone mad]

11. I mean the regular people that were watching..

not the rabid republican freaks.

13. Sorry

After re-reading the thread I should have picked up on that...

I'm a :dunce:

9. Thanks!

I picked a good time to join in the fun...watching the Republican party slowly self-destruct on live TV...

12. Especially after he was so gracious to her the other day

BTW, welcome to DU! :hi:
