Sarah Palin passes along an NFL-related tip
Sarah Palin, after only a month on the national political stage, knew enough that when in the Denver area, it's always a good bet to give a shoutout (as is her wont anyway) to the beloved local football team. But did she take it a beat too far?
Palin headlined a luncheon fundraiser Saturday in Englewood, Colo., and among those introducing her was retired Denver Broncos safety John Lynch. The Times' Robin Abcarian also was there, and she reports that Lynch called himself a big fan of Palin's, described her as "a breath of fresh air” and said, "One thing we have in common … I am a soccer dad now.”
Palin, in turn, lauded Lynch and the Broncos, adding that her husband, Todd, was predicting a win by the team against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today.
No doubt music to the ears for many in the key swing state of Colorado.
But perhaps a sour note for some on the west coast of the larger swing state of Florida.
[UPDATE: Todd Palin proved on-the-ball as a prognosticator -- playing at home, the Bromcos edged the Bucs, 16-13.]

I would like you to comment why FOO (Friend of Obamas) are so bizarre!@
As one blogger commented:
Obama’s advisors, friends and mentors (e.g. Reverend Wright, Father Pfleger, Tony Rezko, Rashid Khalidi Bill Ayers, Larry Walsh, James Johnson) make up a grab bag of problematic characters and bizarre personalities. What is his criteria for selecting associates and why did he find such flawed figures – or why did they find him?

Speak directly to me,sweetie. The are no Katie Courics around to make you look like a simple minded hand puppet. One question, dearie.
Why did you fire commissioner Walt Monegan? Stop dodging the issue. Troopergate will take you down.

Hey Palin, stop pandering and don't ever pretend like you know anything about the greatest football team on earth, the Denver Broncos. It won't make people in Colorado like you more...we already see how you'll say anything to get elected, and lie repeatedly/revise your past to fit the present. Not gonna work this time, sorry!
No way, no how.
Go back to the hockey rink and stop talking trash about Obama and Biden. Not lookin' real presidential out there are ya?
