Palin Praises McCain in Maine

ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: After a day of campaigning in New Hampshire yesterday, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made a brief stop in the state of Maine this morning, praising her running mate Sen. John McCain’s debate performance last night and saying "everyone in America got a clear look at the choice that we face on November 4th" between McCain and Sen. Barack Obama.

"It’s the choice between a politician who puts his faith in government and a leader who puts his faith in all of you," Palin told a crowd of thousands packed into an indoor airport hangar in Bangor, Maine, as a cold drizzle fell outside. "The choice between a politician who wants to raise taxes and redistribute your hard earned money according to his priorities, and a true reformer who wants to lower taxes and create jobs and get this economy back on track."

Palin quickly made reference to Joe Wurzelbacher, who became famous last night as "Joe the Plumber" after McCain raised him several times to criticize Obama’s tax policies.

"It’s the choice between a candidate who will raise your taxes, and that threatens our future, and a leader who’s going to Washington to work for Joe the Plumber," Palin said. "You know, we want to cut taxes because we think like Joe or Jane the Plumber thinks, OK? Our opponents want to raise taxes because they think like that other Joe, that six-term senator from Delaware whom I’m running against."

Palin also criticized Obama for not condemning the actions of ACORN, an advocacy group that has been under fire for gathering and filing false voter registration forms. "In this election, it’s a choice between a candidate who won’t disavow a group committing voter fraud and a leader who will not tolerate the voter fraud," Palin told the crowd.

As she does regularly on the campaign trail, Palin chided the rival ticket for trying to "look to the past" by tying McCain to the Bush administration.

"As John McCain reminded Barack Obama last night, if he wanted to run against George Bush he had his chance four years ago," Palin said to strong applause. "This year the name on the ballot is John McCain, and America knows that John McCain is his own man."

While the Obama-Biden ticket is comfortably ahead in Maine, Palin was in the state as part of a strategy by the McCain campaign to pick up one electoral vote by winning the state’s conservative 2nd congressional district. Maine is one of two states whose electoral votes can be split, with two electoral votes going to the state’s overall winner, while separate electoral votes are given to the highest vote-getter for each of the state’s two congressional districts.

While the southern 1st congressional district is reliably Democratic, the northern 2nd congressional district is more rural and conservative. The McCain campaign has shifted resources to the state in recent weeks in hopes of winning over conservative voters there. Palin’s husband Todd spent last Sunday campaigning throughout the state. And Palin said this morning that the northernmost state in the lower 48 reminded her of her home state of Alaska.

"I feel like I am at home because I see the Carhartts and the steel-toed boots," Palin said, referring to a brand of work clothes seen on some in the audience. "And I see mixed in there with the suits and the ties, the NRA hats and all those good things that remind me of home."

Palin pushed the crowd to turn out for the Republican ticket, asking them to "help us carry the state of Maine to victory" on Election Day, and telling the crowd "Maine, soon the choice will be yours to make, and I’m sure that you all remember the saying that as Maine goes, so goes the nation."

In fact, Maine has not been an accurate bellwether in recent elections, and has been a consistently blue state in national elections since 1988. In 2000, former Vice President Al Gore defeated then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush in the state by five points, and in 2004 Sen. John Kerry easily defeated President Bush in Maine by nine points — but neither Democrat won the national election.

Somebody needs to tell Palin that nobody liked the “Joe the Plumber” thing last night at the debate…
If this Joe guy really makes over $250K per year, then I want his job!
Sorry McCain, but you lost the debate last night. Everyone does want to know one thing though, WHY WERE YOU SO ANGRY?
You acted just like your ANGRY MOB supporters last night! Is this what we are going to see from you and your Parrot Palin for the next 3 weeks – More ANGER and ANGRY MOBS at your rallies???

Nice going Governor BARRACUDA Palin. You’ll use anything to scare people,and feel sorry for you, even your special need child. There’s a lot of special need children and families out there. What makes your child so different from them? Because you’re running for VP? You should say something about teen-age girls pregnancy, like keeping their legs close. Well, come to think of it, you might even say, that your daughter’s pregnancy is from God. What a born again fake you are. Your words are so hollow, you’re a disgrace to the VP legacy. You say, you’re an outsider. To be honest, you should stay outside then. We would never knew how angry and dumb your are!

Let’s be clear here, ‘Joe the Plumber’ does NOT have a plumbing license in the state where he wants to buy a plumbing business (i.e. he’s been breaking state law) and owes $1200 in back taxes (i.e. he’s currently breaking federal law). Why would I care what he has to say? And why would Palin want… oh never mind, it all makes sense now!

Another mindless column about Palin.
She regurgitates words from a boring script read off a teleprompter and has all the far right nutjobs going crazy.
And ABC still reports this stuff.
Palin is not news worthy, she is boring, corrupt and a liar.
She needs to go back to the Alaskans that voted her in as governor… they want her, let them have her.

MORE BAD NEWS ABOUT PALIN!
McCain Campaign: We’ve got a lot of finger-pointing going on within the camp, and I’d say there’s a pretty broad agreement amongst a number of the senior-most advisors to McCain that the Palin pick is worse than disappointing. It’s a total disaster, as one describes to me. And there is a sort of blame game going on there…
I would say the anger and irritation between a number of the senior people in the McCain camp and Bill Kristol is become really acute. They view this man as the guy who gave them this albatross, Sarah Palin. I think there’s a lot of real anger about it.
There’s also recognition that it’s too late to do anything.
AW, too bad huh?

Posted by: Davis | October 16, 2008, 4:20 pm 4:20 pm

Watch the polls tighten over the next 19 days – minus the partisan lib. media polls such as the CBS News/NY Times scam polls. 14 points lead for the Big O indeed. Like we were born yesterday!.
The scumbags CBS, CNN and Campbell Brown with their “Flash Polls on Who Did Better at the Debate”! They think that they can insult the intelligence of Americans with their 58% Obama and 31% McCain. This scam “almost double” result makes you wonder just how much Mr. Money Bags paid them?
I’m not even a registered Rep. and I’m gonna be dragging every pal, relative and next door neighbor to the polls. Let’s see if your “huge organization of Obama election fraud ground-staff can come close to matching the unstoppable force when EVERY Rep. does that, which they surely would, considering the anger you Dems. and your beloved lib. media have aroused! The lib. media huffed and puffed in 2000 & 2004 and and came up with their usual scam predictions but the results sure shocked them, didn’t they? Go on, stay overconfident!
All this is coming down to is for Americans and Joe the Pumblers to decide whether to vote the “Talker” Obama or the “Doer” McCain. It’s easy to talk the talk, but can the Big O walk the walk?

Yes- the Obama-Maniacs are raving today.
Picking on Palin about any little mis-step. When Barry says that he has campaigned in 57 States.
Oh wait- there ARE 57 MUSLIM States- look it up.
Be very afraid, liberals.
The REAL American message of Pro-Country and POSITIVE thoughts, love and support of the military and having an advocate for special needs children, a balanced budget- AND prosecuting the Franklin Raines, Jim Johnsons, Barack Obamas, Barney Franks- and ALL thos who got golden parachutes and lots of $ from Fannie and Freddie- will be prosecuted- AFTER they are made to give the money back!
Meanwhile- Barry thinks this country is not what it once was, Michelle says America is a downright mean country.
Nothing but negativism- then there’s Socialism.
And ALL of those great mentors, associates, criminals and ACORN.
Joe the Plumber and Joe Six-Pack and their female counterparts will make their feelings known when they VOTE Nov. 4th.
The polls are skewed and the Dem are going to lose by a landslide- unless ACORN manages to steal the election!

The Facts:
Joe wants to buy a small business.
The facts are (Contary to what BHO stated) that a majority of small businesses make more than $250,000 a year.
This means that Joe will have a tax increase under BHO’s tax plan.
This means that joe will make less money. This also means that Joe may opt for one of the following choices:
1. Not buy or or have less money to expand the business
2. Not hire more people.
With either choice #1 or #2, the cumulative effects of many Joes’ making the similar choices are negative.

OMG she read off the teleprompter?!?!?!? I’ve never seen a politician or any other person in the history of giving speeches use one before!!! You people disgust me. You have nothing better to do than give your pointless two cents on any subject. We’re screwed whatever way you look at it. So you might as well look at who has the experience to handle this, and that would be McCain.

Oh boy the Obama crowd is squirming in thier seats…haha this is great, if you really believe McCain is going to lose than what is all this fuss about?
The only ones that didn’t like the Joe the plumber comments where Dems seeing as Obama messed up and let his socialist agenda out of the bag. I love Dems they make me smile.

Joe the Plumber would LIKE TO MAKE 250K, he’s considering buying the plumbing business from his boss. He may re-think that decision based on O’Bama Rama wanting to tax anyone making more than 200K a year.

Posted by: Celia G | October 16, 2008, 4:47 pm 4:47 pm

The taxes on someone making just over 250K comes to less that $10 a week. If Joe can’t afford that, he shouldn’t buy the buisness anyway.

Why is the GOP wasting its money in Maine in the first place?

Posted by: Ginny Mayer | October 16, 2008, 5:24 pm 5:24 pm

Maine used to vote earlier than the rest of the country because of early winter weather. The state then was rock ribbed Republican and the GOP loved the slogan of as goes Maine so goes the nation. In 1936 the saying was changed to as goes Maine so goes Vermont as those two states were the only ones to back Alf Landon over FDR. This year it will go the way all of New England and most of the nation will go–for Obama.

Mrs. Palin, I do not like you, and that is a shame. I shouldn’t have a personal opinion of you. I should either agree or disagree with your vision of the future, as a politican. I wish you had focused on policy, ideas and the “how to’s” rather than spin, denial and personal attacks that now muddy anything of value that you might have to contribute. You are a hate monger but of the most dangerous type, in that you aren’t aware of it. Your denial is astounding, second only to that of “W”. I try very hard to have sympathy for you and be tolerant and it is a saily struggle. Mostly I have to remind myself that you know not what you do and give you a certain amount of consideration for your ignorance. You are giving America a real time snap shot of how civil rights atrocities were able to occure, much less how they were perpetuated, in the 60s. I am Thankful to my fellow American’s that it does not appear You and Mr. McCain will win the highest office in the land from which to further your agenda. For that I can sleep at night. I do hope when it is all over that you and many of your fans take a long deep look at yourselves and your hearts and begin to heal yourselves. I hope the country is able to learn more of itse;f from the ugliness of your campaigne and your words. I hope we can all take something that is obviously so wrong and use it for the greater good.

He will continue to do so with sarah palin by his side as our VP. I personally would rather have the leader of this country be a man who served in our military than a man who pals around with known american terrorist. seriously people think about it. Just because you don’t like what Bush has done in office doesn’t mean you should stop using your head and voting for the opposite party. you have brains use them.

He has not yet shown that he will be ANY different than Bush. John McCain fights alright -for big buisness only! And if you want to call the democrats the ‘haters’ you must have missed all the nazi-style hate rallies that Sarah Six-Pack has been having.

Sarah Palin has a lot in common with everyone. Noting that Alaska and Maine had a lot in common, today she feels “like I am at home because I see the Carharts and the steel-toed boots, and I see mixed in there with the suits and ties the N.R.A. hats.” Wonderful, Sarah, glad you feel welcome. Yesterday, however, Sarah was “in common” with those in New Hampshire. “You’re a lot like the people of Alaska,” she said at one point, then suggested Alaska borrow the New Hampshire motto of “Live Free or Die.” Then, she alluded to “the fine people of Massachusetts who got sick of paying all those taxes,” deriding those who didn’t. What will she find “in common” with Massachusetts residents if she dares venture there, I wonder? But two things are certain: Maine and New Hampshire Paulin people definitely don’t like folk from Massachusetts; and neither state has a Pit Bull for Governor.

Someone teach Palin a little about geography:
“And Palin said this morning that the northernmost state in the lower 48 reminded her of her home state of Alaska.”
Maine’s northernmost point is below the 48th parallel that much of the nothern tier states from Washington to Minnesota border with Canada.
I wonder if she can also see Alaska from there…….

I was at the rally today and the ONLY angry mob I saw was the ANGRY Obama MOB on here tonight cutting up Sarah Palin.
The rally today was soooo far from being an ANGRY MOB it is hysterical to read reports stating otherwise. As an undecided Independent voter, we attended the rally today to see if the hype about rowdy Republican rallies was true. It sure wasn’t today! In the past, we have attended Liberal rallies, and believe me those were rowdy. Not that I am complaining, because we like rowdiness, but to say this rally was an ANGRY MOB is a fabrication of the truth and it’s entertaining to read these posts, especially from people that weren’t even there.

U.S. News and World Report
