Will Sarah Palin be the Mystery Speaker at the Republican National Convention?
Update:
The word on the internets is that it won’t be Sarah Palin but may be any of the following:
- Nancy Reagan
- President George H. W. Bush
- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell
- Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin
- Clint Eastwood
The BUZZ has started and who else to deliver the “RED MEAT” speech to end the Republican National Convention?
Republican convention planners appear to have a surprise planned for those tuning in Thursday night.
Buried deep in the convention schedule released Monday is a vague reference to a mystery speaker scheduled for the event’s final evening. “To Be Announced” has a prime speaking slot late in the Thursday program.
By then, speakers from Mitt Romney’s church will have taken the stage that night. The co-founder of Staples office-supply chain will have spoken about working with Mr. Romney during his time at Bain Capital. State officials from Massachusetts will have talked about the former governor. Olympians will have already thanked the presidential candidate for leading the 2002 Winter Games.
The only other speakers to follow “To Be Announced” will be Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Mr. Romney himself, suggesting that the unnamed guest may appear during the 10 p.m. hour when the networks all will be broadcasting the convention.
Has anyone checked to see where Sarah is? Her last Tweet had her in Arizona.
Had a great time today in Gilbert, Arizona, at a rally for Kirk Adams. It’s very important to pay attention to… fb.me/IK7ZdA8S

I cannot think of anyone who could stir up the convention crowd and who could deliver such a motivating speech.
I guess we will see.

MA-Sen: Elizabeth Warren Driver Roughs Up Video Tracker
[youtube]http://youtu.be/0J3KPL6i8j0[/youtube]
This is what happens when the political games go too far.
I can understand video tracking a candidate’s speech, like Massachusetts Democrat Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, but the candidate’s every move?
Remember the Democrats were very successful six years ago in tracking Republican Virginia Senator George Allen and provoking him into the Macaca Moment which led to his defeat.
Now, this driver will be fired or suspended for a while – as he should.
Both sides should just relax and concentrate on policy issues and debates and leave the stalking alone.

CA-26: Is Julia Brownley or the DCCC Stalking Tony Strickland?
Unidentified person videotaping California State Senator Tony Strickland Child I.D. Event in Thousand Oaks yesterday
Well, who is tracking and stalking California State Senator and CA-26 Republican congressional candidate Tony Strickland?
Nobody is admitting it, but the national Democratic Party folks at the DCCC have a reputation of doing it. Now, is Brownley’s campaign paying for the deed?
Hard to say and it may be difficult to trace, but my best guess is that this activity would not be going on without Brownley’s direct approval.
Here is another photo of the tracker/stalker:
I understand from good sources that this person has been seen videotaping at other Tony Strickland events. So, if anyone can identify her, please, let me know in the comments below.
What is the FLAP here – besides the fact that an elected official is being stalked?
Trackers or videographers are not uncommon in Congressional campaigns today. However, this was a Children’s I.D. Event.
A free child ID event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Sat., Aug. 25 during the Kids Fun Zone at Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks, at Moorpark Road and Hillcrest Drive.
The event is sponsored by Sen. Tony Strickland’s office and the Thousand Oaks Police Department.
The free child ID and fingerprint kits take a few minutes to make and include copies of the child’s fingerprints and their parents’ contact information.
Parents keep the kits on hand and can turn them over to law enforcement in the case of a missing child or other emergency.
Yesterday was NOT a Congressional campaign event, but a public service one in conjunction with Strickland’s California State Senate office. Why would the Brownley campaign want to be associated with such an obviously ridiculous observation? And, why involve the children?
Here is Senator Strickland announcing the event:
If the Browney campaign was associated with yesterday’s stalker, they should apologize to the families of the children who were videotaped. If the DCCC was involved, then the Brownley campaign should tell them to exert some restraint.
Julia Brownley may be an LA Woman (from Santa Monica actually), but we don’t do politics like this in Thousand Oaks – because we aren’t LA.

CA-26: Julia Brownley Channels the Koch Brothers to Raise Funds
I just received this in the ol’ e-mail box from Julia Brownley who is running for Congress here in Ventura County.
Democrat Brownley is using scare tactics of the Koch Brothers and the Tea Party Caucus (whatever that is) to scare the campaign cash dollars out of her supporters.
The Koch Brothers are rich and right-leaning businessmen who do contribute to campaigns – so what? Many businessmen do – right and left.
But, you see Julia, is a LEFT-WING Ideologue who thinks that Nancy Pelosi and George Soros are OK buddies, but businessmen like David Koch and the grass-roots Tea Party are evil.
Just say NO to Julia Brownley and her Santa Monica extremism.
I will vote for Republican Tony Strickland.

Romney Mentions Birth Certificate and LEFT Goes Wild
[youtube]http://youtu.be/4qDE3RBUfzM[/youtube]
I mean Mitt Romney was just saying….
Can Romney really help the fact that some folks believe that President Obama comes from some sketchy origins when he refused to turn over a certified birth certificate for months?
The people of Michigan know that Romney was born there and is one of them.
