John McCain's acceptance speech got off to a rocky start on Thursday night when, on three separate occasions, he was interrupted by protesters, twice by the liberal group Code Pink and again by a Ron Paul supporter with the group Iraq Veterans Against the War.

Last night during her speech to the Republican National Convention, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) sought to play up her experience as mayor of a small town in Alaska by mocking community organizing:

Activists have frenetically picked apart Palin's record over the last week, and an Obama aide told the Huffington Post that the campaign has raised $8 million since her speech last night "from over 130,000 donors - on pace to hit $10 million by the time John McCain hits the stage tonight."

U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that the McCain family's appearance at the Twin Cities Habitat For Humanity build site on Thursday has been canceled. How anti-press is the McCain campaign? They just canceled a Habitat for Humanity PHOTO OP because it has to do with "houses"? Go figure!

In a Thursday morning conference call for reporters organized by the Democratic National Committee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius pushed back against the idea that Republicans have cornered the market on small-town America.

We noticed last week that it was awfully peculiar that Colorado’s U.S. Attorney, Troy Eid, had so airily dismissed conspiracy charges against the three white-supremacist tweakers who were caught planning to assassinate Barack Obama at last week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver. Now it turns out that those suspicions were fully warranted:

He worried that such a probe could be spun as "a partisan witch hunt." However, he said that equation changes if there was willful criminality, because "nobody is above the law."

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Republican supporters held back little Wednesday as they issued dismissive attacks on Barack Obama and flattering praise on her credentials to be vice president. In some cases, the reproach and the praise stretched the truth.

John McCain's presidential campaign is threatening a lawsuit against the National Enquirer over a print edition story the tabloid ran today alleging that Gov. Sarah Palin has had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner.

In an August, 30, Today Show interview, former Speaker of the House and American Solutions For Winning The Future mastermind Newt Gingrich (R-GA) praised the “courage” and “experience” of Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), whom Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) had announced as his running mate. Newt claimed:

Palin fired the whole state Agriculture and Conservation board in July 2007, and replaced it with her loyalists. As a result, the dairy lost more money than it had in twenty years. The dairy, an Alaska icon, closed two months later. Millions of dollars in dairy equipment ended up, at a steep discount, in the hands of a local Palin ally.

More skeletons come out of Palin's closet. Since the McCain campaign apparently didn't even bother Googling Sarah Palin before picking her to join the Republican ticket, we've taken it upon ourselves to compile some important -- and terrifying -- revelations about Palin.

John McCain's campaign on Wednesday angrily called for an end to questions about Sarah Palin's background, calling it a "faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee" for vice president.

Before Senator John McCain delivers his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, Senator Barack Obama will make a marquee appearance of his own. Call it counter-intuitive. He will appear on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel.

Capably demonstrating Richard Cohen’s thesis that John McCain’s VP pick was an elaborate ruse to force conservatives to make fools of themselves, neocon activist Frank Gaffney takes up the “Alaska is close to Russia!” argument for Gov. Sarah Palin’s foreign policy experience:

Yesterday, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds appeared on CNN for an interview with Campbell Brown. Brown was tough on Bounds, refusing to let him spout typical campaign talking points.

McCain campaign did not know that both Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her husband Todd Palin were long-time members of the Alaska Independence Party which promotes Alaska seceding as one of the United States and becoming it's own country!

Three months before she was thrust into the national political spotlight, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to handle a much smaller task: addressing the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God.

Already reeling from his hasty choice of Palin as VP pick, McCain and his campaign is trying to apply the breaks to any investigation into her Troopergate problems. The final report of the investigation was due right before the November election but panicked Republicans are throwing roadblocks in the way hoping to forestall the report post Nov

The Intrade prediction market has opened trading on whether "Sarah Palin [is] to be withdrawn as Republican VP nominee before 2008 presidential election." At 8:55 am, Tuesday morning, the market is selling the prediction at 18 a share and rising. That means 18 percent of traders think Palin will be removed.

Obama vows to fire any campaign staffer that stokes the Palin pregnancy story, and obviously isn't happy with the implication his campaign had anything to do with it -- a smear that anonymous McCain aides are peddling to the media.

Troopergate. It's a political he-said, she-said that has dogged Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for nearly two months and is likely to do so for another two months leading to the Nov. 4 presidential election.
