Countdown to Palin's Speech!

As the clock ticks down to the hour of the most important speech of Sarah Palin's political life, "Extra" uncovers a side of the Alaska governor you haven't seen -- a glimpse at her family rallying around her as she preps to address the RNC today.

Her pregnant 17-year-old daughter Bristol and baby daddy Levi Johnston were snapped holding hands -- and greeting John McCain. New reports suggest that even Jamie Lynn Spears has sent Bristol baby gifts! Another Palin tot, 7-year-old Piper, teamed up with Meghan McCain to film a campaign video for the GOP nominees.

"Extra" has uncovered facts about the man behind the Alaskan governor, her husband Todd -- including his DUI bust twenty years ago. Mr. Palin cheated death last February after sustaining injuries from a snowmobile crash.

Notice how everything’s a bit quiet, the media is desperately scrambling to report on almost ANYTHING else besides Palin’s PHENOMENAL speech? I find it hilarious, and at the same time pathetic, they can’t say anything negative, so they won’t comment at all. Typical.

Hold up! I can’t believe what the republicans message was today. Basically, I’m going to hell because I’m a democrat and that is why I’m poor because, I’m a democrat. WOOOOW, thats big! Oh, tell me this, Have anybody heard the message about fixing the country? I guess not because, they were to busy dissing Obama! Speaking about dissing Obama, how dare she come out making fun of the community organizers. First of all, thats a start. She doesn’t have NO ideal what a community organizer does, as I recall, she was the mayor of 9000 people and got them in debt. A community organizer HELP people get food on the table. A community organizer HELP people to figure away to keep the lights and water on. A community organizer HELP many young teenager to get off the streets. Dissing Obama is like dissing me too. I’m deeply envolve in my community and I hate when people(REPUBLICANS)don’t give him his propts. When Obama went down to the southside of chicago and HELP the many people whose jobs was taken from them. I don’t know about you, but Obama have experience of helping these POOR Americans(me).

GO OBAMA !!!!

I wrote in last week and I said I could wait til the rnc next week cause it was going to be funny and boreing. The funny part wtching the speeches which the funny parts didn’t come yet, that’s when Mccain speaks he talks like Bush studders and can’t complete a straight sentence and they shouldn’t let his wife speak no more than 2 minutes and that’s to introduce her husband cause I don’t think she’s interesting or her life story. She won’t be able to do it like Ms Oboma. But the crazy part is tonite when Palin speaks get ya popcorn ready time to laugh at this boreing convention and the late nite talk show hosts. GO OBOMA!!!!!!

I am concerned as an American that Mrs. Palin does not believe in Global Warming. This is a huge concern that the media has failed to mention.

In addition, Palin does not feel Polar bears should NOT be put on the endangered list,all though there is proof that the species is dwindling at an alarming rate.

I find the nomination of this woman terrifying. She has absolutely NO experience that qualifies her to be second in command. Her husband works for an oil company so obviously she has no interest in finding alternative energy sources. She likes to present herself as holier than thou yet she does not practice what she preaches. What I find most insulting, however, is that there were so many qualified women who were passed over for this former beauty pageant runner-up. I think that John McCain is insulting the intelligence of every woman if he thinks that chromosomes are enough to justify a vote. What scares me most of all is that there are actually Americans who will vote for this ticket. This nation desperately needs a ticket that will not vote with President Bush’s policies 95% of the time and a leader who will actually do something about the economy and health care. The only “change” that will occur if John McCain becomes president is that this nation will become an even bigger mess.

Thank you EXTRA, for providing a forum to sound off, thank you for allowing us as Americans to debate, and share thoughts and concerns. Note to all, it is not the opinion of EXTRA, simply a forum that gives us our American right to free speech. There is no need for all the hate, it is just conversing ideas, and thoughts… I think it is great to see so many different ideas and thoughts.

Schmidt suggested, the campaign won’t explain why Palin waited until last week to tell the McCain team that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant.

Or why Palin didn’t submit to a face-to-face interview with the head of McCain’s search team until a few days before her announcement.

Or why she’s accused of improperly ordering the firing of the former public safety commissioner.

Or why she supported the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere” and other pork-barrel projects before telling the nation on Saturday that she was against them.


- Something to consider.

Once she’s brought her children in as selling points, unfortunately the bad comes in with the good,” says Lisa Bloom, a Court TV anchor. “She’s integrating her mom quality as a key part of her résumé. We didn’t do that in the press; she did that.”
