Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 08:56 PM by Vote2008
It will change nothing. This will be written off by McLame and the MSM.

By Tuesday morning the news will not even matter and it will be out of the news cycle!

Or it will be a side note. It will not impact the election at all.

The track record here is horrble at predicting "Done" things. Remember Palin's prego daughter? This place said "Done" then.

4. I just visted Freepy public
And they were saying basically the same thing, she didn't really break the law, it was a partisan assault against her and means nothing, the dems slipped in the 'unlawful' part. Interesting!

So there freepers. :rofl:

Oh yeah, ethics laws don't count with republicans :rofl:

6. Does it say she looked at people's medical records?
http://www.680news.com/news/world/more.jsp?content=w1010124A

"But the report is also expected to touch on whether Palin's husband meddled in state affairs and whether her administration inappropriately accessed employee medical records."

That could be big.

The report was damning on Todd's improper power use as her husband.

11. Forces the Sunday Talking Heads show to cover it
takes away one of the MOST important days for a McCain recovery. That by itself is a major loss. A game changer NO, a turnover when trying to make a comeback YES.

16. You wish - this is damning stuff in this report
Not only Finding 1, but the entire culture that surrounded the Governors office in her short tenure is proven corrupt, even illegal. Todd's unprecedented access to the state and the governors office, along with all of the phone calls that he had no right to make or receive. I'm not even halfway through this report!

4% is monstrous in this type of race.. It could drop McCain into the high 30s in some polls and move Obama into the mid 50s in others

but that isn't a big deal.

I do think this thing is going to have legs, though. McCain/Palin may try to blow it off, but I have a feeling that this is just one thing too many. By itself it is survivable, on top of all the other stuff that has been going on with the McCain campaign...I think it is going to be fatal.

24. Obama and Biden just have to keep bringing it up on the stump and the press will bite
they just have to repeat it ad naseum on the stump and on msm sets and the press will be reminded to cover ti....it is similar to how McCain wants a talking point pushed by the media: you repeat it over and over on the stump and you get surrogates to parrot it (regardless of the questions asked by the msm of that surrogate).

McCain keeps Ayers in the news day after day.

If Obama keeps this in the news, it will stay in the news. Otherwise, it will drop out of the news.

the good news is, it will probably haunt her when she goes back to Alaska on Nov. 5. Two years from now she'll be a talking head on Fox.

She will quit and join Fox next year. She is a no talent hack and needs to get in while she has the chance. If she spends six months out of the public eye she will be toast.

I say it'll knock any Ayers BS off the airwaves. It won't "doom" their campagin any more than it's already doomed, but it will turn the phoney focus from Obama's "shortcomings" to the criminal acts of the GOP VP candidate.

59. Maybe not done, but "Solid" will do.
Frankly, right now, I don't want change. I like things EXACTLY as they are.

Obama is polling over 50% with Gallup, he has over 340 electoral votes according to www.electoral-vote.com, and more and more people are annoyed with McCain.

All I want this little "news blip" to do is to scare away the sane voters and stabilize Obama's lead. They can keep their "base".

Anyone who has been afraid of Cheney needs to be terrified of Palin. And those are the only ones who need to hear about this little "power abuse" issue. Since no one who applauds Cheney is going to think that Palin "abused power".

But I must say, I am surprised that the fundamentalists, specifically the ones who believe that the man should be head of household, aren't a bit nervous at her abuse of power. Like Eve. Or Jezebel. Or Delilah.

Just once, I wish we could beat them at their own game.
:mad:

61. It'll change nothing... So Obama will still be up 7 points in the polls?
LOL.. It doesn't need to do anything. Besides McCain already destroyed the rest of her campaign strategy by admitting that Obama is a decent guy. This campaign is over. There are only two ways Obama can lose. If they cheat, or if there is a major attack on the U.S. in the next 3 weeks. I think the margin is enough that they can't cheat and there is no need for anymore attacks on the U.S. as the goal of sinking our economy has been achieved.
