Palin: Election isn't over till it's over

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin had a pointed message Sunday for Barack Obama: This thing isn't over yet.

"Barack Obama and I both have spent quite some time on the basketball court," Palin told a raucous crowd of more than 5,000 at the convention center. "But where I come from, you have to win the game before you start cutting down the net."

"You kinda get the feeling that the Obama campaign thinks this whole election process is just a formality," she said. "They've overlooked, though, the minor detail of earning your confidence and your trust and winning your vote.

"And judging from the media coverage, it does seem the coronation is already set," Palin said.

1. That Alaskan trash is only good for one thing...

Spewing bile. Her snarky comments and lies are just what this country does NOT need any more of.

Neither does Alaska, for that matter.

[superconnected]

18. I'd call her a welfare mom but that makes welfare moms look bad.

Most welfare moms don't cheat the system. The ones that do, certainly don't to the amount palin has.

24. When have Obama or Biden acted like the election is over?

As for her basketball analogy, don't make me laugh, Palin. Comparing your basketball skills playing for a podunk girls high school team in Alaska to a Chicago city ball player is about as much of a joke as the content of your campaign speeches.

2. She's right. This is why Obama voters will get to the polls.

To keep you far from the White House.

3. She needs to gain weight and take singing lessons nt

[uppityperson]

4. And when you are ahead 192370 points to 4, the final moments are a formality.

[billybob537]

5. Wow she drew a crowd of 5000

were half of them FLIES!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[4lbs]

6. Based upon various reports I've read recently, half of them may have been paid staffers

to go there, hold up signs, and make them look larger.

7. Oh, shut up and come home, Sarah,

and let us filet you like a nice big king salmon. :rofl:

[foxfeet]

23. And, please, feed her to the wolves and bears.

As long as it doesn't poison them.

[Frisbee]

8. I'm not running for anything...

so I can say what I think. And I think you just can't put lipstick on this pig.

[lonestarnot]

9. Do they cut up the nets after basketball games?

Seems like a waste of money, but then she wouldn't care about that now would she. :eyes:

[truthisfreedom]

16. When you use fresh moosepelt nets, they tend to rot and stench up the gym if you don't cut them down

after the game.

[lonestarnot]

26. LOL, guess there's lots more moose where those came from.

Geeze I can't stand her!

[Canuckistanian]

10. Thank you, Yogi Palin

Yes, the coronation is set.

Thanks for playing.

[LynnTheDem]

11. I kinda get the feelin' Palin' is a deeply irrelevant & ignorant nothing.

So Palin', take your $150,000 clothes, your $22,000 makeup, and your silly little mind, and go back to Alaska where you're being investigated for 3 more ethics violations allegations.

Stupid little twit.

[bulloney]

25. They've blown all of this money on makeup and wardrobe so she can talk to the base.

They don't send her anywhere but "safe" Republican strongholds because they know she would become an embarassment if she had any significant confrontation at any rally.

[Demeter]

12. The Corporate Wife is Alway Is the Last to Know

I'm trying to be polite and genteel here. How'd I do?

[Dems4me]

13. McCain always said he'd win & still sayin' it. She's such a hypocrit. n/t

[cosmicone]

14. Look on the bright side ....

her comments like these will make sure there is no complacency on our side and everyone will go and vote!

[Aviation Pro]

15. Trash talk? Are you fucking kidding me.....

...Sarah Pornstar? Let me explain something to you, you failure of a point guard. Senator Obama could spot you nine in a game of roundball, give you the ball and tie one hand behind his back and the score would end up 11-9.

Take your weak game elsewhere, America's Little Tweaker.

[mikeytherat]

31. I'd give anything to see Obama and Palin in a game of one on one.

Although I worry I might die from laughter.

[truthisfreedom]

17. Detached from reality, imagining things, painting Obama with activities he's not involved with...

she's trying to pretend Obama would let up for one second down the home stretch.

Hey Palin, nobody cares. You're a mere caricature.

[superconnected]

19. Well I'm convinced all this woman knows about is basketball, hockey and moose hunting.

She's proved she knows nothing about politics.

Final assessment, no Ms. Palin, you are not qualified to be president.

[MadMaddie]

21. So far she has jinxed two hockey teams....I don't think any other

teams want her around...just sayin...

[tclambert]

20. The losing team has to say stuff like this, and assume the polls are off by 7 to 8%

All the polls, every single one of them. It's the only way they can maintain hope. Of course, if the polls are so inaccurate, your campaign is flying blind. And that may explain the erratic behavior of the McCain campaign.

I hate to bring it up, but the Dukakis campaign acted like this, and the Mondale campaign. You could almost call it "failing campaign syndrome."

[santamargarita]

22. What she meant to say is: Palin: Election isn't over till it's stolen!

And they will keep trying!

[rainbow4321]

27. Well now I hope all those people who go to Grant Park are shown waving cut up nets

Maybe she needs to get a shitload of them mailed to her office between now and Nov 4th.

[StarryNite]

28. palin's 15 minutes of shame

is almost over. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[jberryhill]

29. I wonder how McCain is coming along with that concession speech /nt

[trof]

30. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl harbor? HELL NO!"
