Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., right, and her daughter, Chelsea, arrive in the stands before her husband, former President Bill Clinton, speaks at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008
Hillary Clinton rebuffed (and not even vetted for the Vice Presidency) by Barack Obama at the Denver Democrat convention congratulated Alaska Republican Governor Sarah Palin for her selection as John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate yesterday.
“We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin’s historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain,” Clinton, the first woman to win a presidential primary, said in the statement. “While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate.”
Hillary’s congrats although back handed in a way were far different than Team Obama’s inital reactions which were harsh, negative and made no mention of the historic nature of Sarah Palin’s selection.
The initial polling is favorable for Palin as the GOP attempts to pick off disaffected Hillary Clinton Democrats and independent female voters.
Palin is now viewed favorably by 48% of women. That figure includes 80% of Republican women, 23% of Democratic women, and 61% of women not affiliated with either major party.
Anyone want to bet whether the Clinton Cabal will be supporting McCain - Palin? When the Obama and left-wing attacks begin on Palin look for Clinton supporters in the media to suddenly appear.

Barack Obama is a typical Chicago pol with one exception - no experience. So, is Bill Clinton right when he calls Obama a Chicago THUG?
Let Obama’s association with William Ayers, the radical bomber and Tony Rezko, the convicted federal felon be your guide.

In blogging matters, Flap was credentialed for the Republican National Convention that starts in Minneapolis on Monday. I was, also, credentialed for the California delegation.
Unfortunatley, for family reasons, I was not able to make the trip.
However, Flap will blog the convention here and on Twitter (in the right side bar under Twitter Updates) ——>
Stay tuned……

We thought that those MSNBC honchos said Olbermann played it straight down the middle when hosting these political events? Tell that to Charles Babington, an AP writer who dared to express mild criticism of some aspects of Obama's Thursday night speech. He got scorched by the impartial Edward R Olbermann and told to find a new line of work!
Olby's outburst was so extraordinary that even the Keith-friendly Editor & Publisher couldn't ignore it, calling it "an unusually heated attack on a veteran political reporter by a cable news host".

If you read Wired? Yes. If you read LGF and get the full context of what she said? No. That makes twice already today that quotes of hers were bowdlerized to make them more nutroots-friendly.

Perhaps Rep. Robert Wexler's instincts were right here, and the Obama campaign will likely drive this one home with the Jewish community in Florida and Ohio: Palin and her husband, says former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan , was a "brigader for me in 1996."

Barack Obama's campaign is blasting John McCain for putting "the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency."

The scathing description of Sarah Palin, from Obama spokesman Bill Burton, comes as Democrats scramble to gather a response to a selection that nobody in the political world expected.
