1. Running on a campaign of Joe-The-Plumber, working class support, after earlier revelations about $150,000 spent on clothing, reveals that $30,000 was spent on a hairstylist and makeup artist for Sarah Palin for two weeks work, more than the highest paid policy adviser to the campaign.
2. Palin, in her first policy speech, mentions increasing the budget for Special Needs education, deviating from her running mate's budget freeze, except as one way to pay for this is she bashes fruit fly research, which is used for autism research, which her son suffers from.
3. Joe McCain, John's brother who is campaigning for him, calls 911 to complain about Virgina traffic (which he has already referred to as Communist country), then when the operator asks him if he called 911 for traffic issues, tells the "F**k you" and hangs up.
When they call back informing him using 911 for traffic is a crime, he calls the Alexandria police to lodge a complaint. He has since retired from the campaign.
4. The night before, SNL in a primetime special, ridicules the endorsement of a standing President, using Will Ferrell and Tina Fey, both known for their impersonations of Bush and Palin. Vid Link
