Hockey Mom and Hunter Leaves Two US Senators as Road kill!By Libertarian Vice Presidential Nominee Wayne Allyn Root
That should be the headline in newspapers around the world this morning. A couple of weeks ago I took off my Vice Presidential hat to act as political commentator and pundit to critique Barack Obama's V.P. choice of Joe Biden. I called it a terrible choice, a bland choice, and strategically, a failure. As a matter of fact, strategically, BOTH parties blew it. If Obama picked Hillary (and her 18 million primary votes) he would have had a good chance of sitting in the White House. But Joe who? From Dela-where? The guy known for plagiarizing his speeches?
After watching last night's Sarah Palin performance, I can only say, now, that Obama's best shot at victory is if Biden plagiarizes Palin's speech!
Now, don't get me wrong. McCain and the GOP also made a strategic mistake. Winning the Presidency is all about electoral votes. If McCain had picked Mitt Romney, he probably would have guaranteed himself the White House. Nevada (my home state) might be the crucial battleground state in 2008. If the Republicans don't hold it- they lose. PERIOD. Nevada is 25% Mormon (believe it or not). Nevada loves Mitt Romney. He won the GOP Primary here. McCain came in third (behind Ron Paul). 'Nuff said. But even more importantly, from a strategic standpoint, Romney would have given McCain a great shot to win Michigan, too (his home state- his dad was Governor). Michigan is the ultimate prize with 17 electoral votes. Take Michigan from Obama's column- that's a 34 electoral vote turnaround. Obama cannot recover from that knockout punch. Bar the door, Katie; game, set, and match for McCain. And, as a bonus, McCain said the economy isn't his strong suit. It is certainly Mitt's (the $300 million dollar man). Weakness solved. But alas, it wasn't to be.
Enter, Sarah Palin, stage right
Romney no longer matters. He, too, is road kill. Handsome, dashing, smart, but suddenly outed as boring. Huckabee was considered glib, colorful and funny- until last night. Compared to the hockey mom/pit bull Pallin, even too is road kill. Guliani was considered a vicious New York pit bull, until last night. But, no one can play pit bull better than a beautiful, sweet, Hockey Mom. A pit bull, with lipstick and high heels. Good luck to Joe Biden. He'll need it.
A pit bull Hockey Mom just left most of America's most gifted male politicians (and orators) dead in the middle of the road. She sliced and diced Obama, last night, like a wood chipper. Obama's political career is lying in pieces, in a ravine somewhere in Alaska- with snowmobile tracks leading from the carnage.
Palin's line about a “community organizer” being about the same as a small town Mayor...”except the mayor has responsibilities” was a hockey puck to Obama's groin. Then, she finished Barack off, by referring to his fake Greek columns being carted back to Hollywood. Ouch! I could hear every guy in Middle America screaming in laughter. With one line she emasculated Barack's entire fake career. Then, the hunter shot him once more for good measure with the line about Obama saying nice things to small town America to their faces...then badmouthing them when he's back in San Francisco. Did the body move on that last shot? Or was he already finished off? Hard to tell.
Palin's got genuine Blue Collar appeal
You've got to admire a hunter who can shoot that accurately in high heels. I could see every hunter, fisherman, gun owner, steel worker, and every working mom and housewife who has ever felt unrepresented or demeaned in Washington D.C., high-fiving and screaming in joy. Sarah Pallin was the star of “9 to 5” last night. The small town secretary gutted her male boss and took over the CEO job…with a smile and a wink.
She not only sliced, diced and embarrassed her political opposition, she defeated the entire media elite and the “Beltway Insiders.” She left them all gasping for air, on their knees, pleading for mercy from the professional huntress. Palin's speech was a verbal fusillade to the imaginary heart of every elite liberal snob in America.
“The great community organizer” is on life support this morning wondering if anyone got the license plate of that Hockey Mom. About the only thing she left out was a little something with which I would have ended my speech:
“And to you, the elite media and press... Please keep writing lies, slanders, and half truth´s, about me and my beautiful children -- because, let me tell you something about small town people: we don´t live in just Wasilla, Alaska, or Missoula, Montana, or Sheep´s Creek, West Virginia…or Lyons, Nebraska. We also live in Detroit and Cleveland and Pittsburgh and Chicago, AND here´s some news for you....we even live in New York City... and every time you sit in your ivory towers and write your vicious, elite, smug lies, you send another thousand voters to me and John McCain. Keep writing; I beg you- keep writing.”
Sarah Palin: The Real Life Reece Witherspoon goes to Washington
Yes, I think “Mrs. Smith is headed to Washington.” In real life. Sarah Pallin is playing Reece Witherspoon in “LEGALLY BLONDE” - except Sarah's brunette and she's got a hunting rifle. You remember how that ends don't you?
As Don King would say “Only in America.” But, isn't that what makes America great? Sarah Pallin isn't perfect. As a matter of fact, her personal life may be a mess. But who cares? She's charming and refreshing and, as we say back in New York, she has chutzpah! You gotta love her. That was a performance for the ages- with the gossip and rumor mills going at hyper speed, and the vicious D.C. press corp. literally on her heels, she walked onto that stage with ice water in her veins, pulled the trigger and hit the bulls eye. Dead Center! It can't happen in France. It can't happen in China. It can't happen in India (think caste system). It can't happen anywhere else. Only in America can a small-town gal and hockey mom with 5 kids get a chance to slice, dice and humiliate the most powerful men in the political world- and beat them at their own game.
Wasilla, Alaska 10
Washington D.C. and Chicago, Illinois 0
Game on.
America will never be the same after last night's speech
From one S.O.B. (son of a butcher), small town boy, street-fighter, small businessman, home-school dad and citizen politician…to another- Congratulations Sarah for serving notice to the Hollywood, Manhattan and D.C. pompous, snobby elite class that it's time for real change. I'll see you in Washington D.C.
Somehow, I think, from this moment on, things will never be the same. Real Americans have served notice: we are taking back America. And, to the Obamas and Bidens and old school boys, I say- “be afraid, be very afraid!”

Thank you for this article. If all Libertarian's would vote her and McCain, we can't lose. Vote Libertarian and all we get is BO.
Just one quick comment.. you misspelled her last name... It's Palin (not a double L).
But other than that...Thank you!
I consider myself a conservative (foreign policy) libertarian (social policy) and if it weren't for the fact that I disagree with Bob Barr's Iraq policy so strongly, he'd likely be getting my vote.
I think it's time we consider that possibility. If Bob Barr and Wayne Root were to suspend their campaign, that might be the best course? It would certainly be a dramatic move, and would seriously piss off the Left.
This analysis made me giggle. I wonder if Wayne has heard Joe Biden speak on foreign affairs issues; there's no one more cogent in the Senate, and he has a personal story as compelling as Palin's: single father after his wife and daughter died in an accident, travels back to Delaware every night, has never cashed in and is one of the poorest Senators. Palin supports intrusive government on social issues e.g. abortion and drug regulation, ironic that you Libertarian boys are so hep for her; maybe somebody needs to read her positions to you.
Anon, wrote:

Is this the same Senator who voted for the use of force authorization in Iraq, stating Hussein was a grave threat that had to be eliminated, only to later denounce the war once it became unpopular and the polls were not going in the cogent Senator's direction?
The Senator that didn't support the surge strategy that ultimately lead to the U.S. victory in Iraq (along with the Anbar awakening)?
Anon further stated:
"Palin supports intrusive government on social issues e.g. abortion and drug regulation, ironic that you Libertarian boys are so hep for her; maybe somebody needs to read her positions to you."
The cogent Senator supports intrusive government on economic issues e.g. tax increases,stringent market regulations, massive welfare entitlement program spending,
ironic that you are so hep for him; maybe somebody needs to read his positions to you.
Senator Biden's tragedy is very compelling and powerful. He deserves all the credit in the world for what he went through in that regard.
Regards,
Ryan.

I don't see them suspending their campaign. The pressure from LP hierarchy would be enormous to stay in.

I'm in the exact same boat,Darury. Conservative on foreign policy and libertarian on social policy. Barr would have had my vote if he supported the Iraqi Liberation, and if he had a chance at winning.
Too bad there are no Libertarians running this year just a bunch of bloody conservatives -- and in recent years "bloody" best describes their policies. Most the LP members I know have decided NOT to vote since their own party isn't running anyone who is a libertarian.
Anonymous, you should re-phrase that as "too bad there are no leftwing Anarchists running this year..."
(Though, indeed there are - our own LR Frequent Commentor Thomas Knapp is running for US Congress in Missouri.)
Libertarian = Fiscally Conservative, Socially Tolerant, Strong on Defense - essentially Tax-cutting, Pork-eliminating, local Bar hours closing opponent Sarah Palin.
Leftwing Anarchist = Anti-Defense, Pro-Surrender to Al Qaeda, moderate praise for Free Enterprise economics from time to time, and Social Chaos.
There's little in common between Leftwing Anarchists and Libertarians.
I've never heard of any parties presidential or vice presidential candidate coming out so strongly on an opposition parties side. There is something Mr. Root that you should keep in mind. Palin is nearly alone in her beliefs in the Republican hierarchy. Assuming McCain wins in November and decides to run for reelection their is going to be tremendous pressure on him to choose another vice president candidate that is more in line with the "goals" of the party and she will likely be out.
Nonsense. Palin is the exciting future of The New Republican Party, returning to its historic principles of limited government, individual liberty, and a strong national defense.
Hey, how can we be sure that this is an actual comment by the LP VP candidate? I just want to be sure; I'm not necessarily disagreeing with anything that he says.
Because he personally sent it to me by email. I confirmed it with him. Plus, it's been quoted in numerous other blogs too.
Anonymous,
FWIW, the piece was forwarded to me before LR published it, by someone whom Wayne had sent it to. Also, it's very much in his style, right down to the typos.

Montana Constitution Party Puts Ron Paul on November Ballot

Montana Constitution Party Puts Ron Paul on November Ballot for President
Posted by Eric A. Garris at September 5, 2008 06:58 PM
The Montana Constitution Party has removed Chuck Baldwin from the
ballot and is putting the ticket of Ron Paul for President and
Michael Peroutka on the ballot for Vice-President.
Ron Paul was aware that the party planned to do this, and has said
that as long as he can remain passive and silent about the
development, and as long as he need not sign any declaration of
candidacy, that he does not object.
A group in Louisiana has also filed to have Ron Paul's name on the
ballot for President under the "Louisiana Taxpayers Party" label.
For much of the year, activists in both the Libertarian Party and the
Constitution Party asked Ron Paul's permission to run him on the
ballot for President in November, but he repeatedly declined.
It is a great shame that he did not agree to this for other states.
Ron Paul could have been the candidate of a broad coalition,
regardless of how active he would have sought the office. Instead, we
have a group of inferior third party candidates competing for the
pro-freedom, anti-government vote.
Ryan, newsflash: you cannot call you a limited government, freedom loving conservative-libertarian if you support occupation of countries that is immoral and cost the country 10 B plus a year! You are an IMPERIALIST and NEOISOLATIONST. Do you also support the FASCIST behaviour at the RNC???
