White House press secretary Dana Perino said Monday the incumbent's invisibility is by design — because "the Republican Party wanted to make this election about John McCain."

The president knows there are people in this country who want change and are looking for something new, Perino said.

"We're realistic about the political environment that we are in," she said. "What keeps him going is knowing that he's done the right thing."

It's not a surprise.

The Republicans did the same thing to Clinton when Gore was running.

The difference there there was a politically motivated investigation and trial designed specifically to besmirch a very successful President.

Bush ****ed it by himself.

is he in there with Joe Biden..?? cuz Joe has been MIA for the last several days..
So the dude with the possibility of saying something a bit silly has kept his mouth shut at a crucial period? Thats crazy talk. The dems should let him run around saying stupid stuff cause Palin hasn't done the slightest bit of damage to the Republican campaign.

I disagree.

Palin is an excellent speech giver. Just get the teleprompter going and people of her persuasion love it.

With Biden, you have no idea what tangent he will go on. It is not that he is a dumbass like Palin (I noticed she didn't interview with Barbara West or any other daytime anchors), but he is a MAC-10 of interviews.

BTW, he is Ohio today.

She's is as dumb as a friggin' post. Unable to answer the simplest of questions. hell, she answered a bblack guys question about minorities by saying that her husband was a "native alaskan", so "we live it". WTF? The only people who buy her telepromted speeches are the ones who have already imbibed in the RNC kool-aid for years. Well, them or the butter troll trailer trash they are pandering to.

She isn't qualified for adult ed in most universities, let alone vice president.

I can agree with that, she gives good teleprompt, was more refering to the comments made on the 1 or 2 occasions when the handlers let her off the leash.

I think I heard somewhere that Todd is part Inuit so perhaps thats what she is trying to say. Hard to tell most times though.

Only he's as white as the driven alaskan snow, and runs a massive fishing operation and has the gov't buying him & his family designer clothes. He's about as far from minority as you can get.

Hard to tell is right. I wonder how well her beauty pageant speech went?

You tell me?

Todd Palin was born in Dillingham, Alaska, to James F. "Jim" Palin and his first wife, Blanche (Roberts) Kallstrom.[5] His father, a native of Seattle, Washington,[6] is a former general manager of Matanuska Electrical Association.[7] His mother, a former secretary of the Alaska Federation of Natives, is one-quarter Yup'ik, and his maternal grandmother, Helena (Bartman) Andree, is a member of the Curyung tribe.[8]
So at best, he is 1/8 Yup'ik. Sorry, that's not a visible minority.
