ST PAUL, Minnesota (AFP) - Democrat Hillary Clinton on Thursday rejected John McCain's Republican convention address, and gave her first damning judgement on his vice-presidential running mate Sarah Palin.

"To slightly amend my comments from Denver," the former first lady said in a statement as soon as the Republican nominee finished his speech.

"No way, No How, No McCain-Palin," Clinton said, reprising her top applause line from last week's Democratic convention.

Clinton said that only Barack Obama, who beat her in the bitter Democratic primary and his running mate Senator Joseph Biden, "offered the new ideas and positive change" that America needed.

"After listening to all of the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle class families," Clinton said.

She also commented that McCain offered no plan for quality affordable health care for all Americans, to guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, or to "restore our nation's leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces

2. Hope she does a lot of campaigning for Obama

We need her to help insure McCain does not get his ass in the seat.

4. Obama sends supporters to blunt Palin's impact

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius all were scheduled to campaign for Obama in the coming weeks. Republicans say they hope Palin, who made her national debut with a feisty speech on Wednesday, could put some female voters in play.

7. Palin's "appeal"

Her only appeal is to the other half of the Republican Party - the backwoods redneck racists. She's a "good old girl" complete with the extramarital affair and the teenaged daughter headed for a shotgun wedding. She is the Backwoods Barbie.

3. Meanwhile....

.....across the river, the Ron Paulians were still having their OWN convention.

The Dems are unified and the Repugs are fractured and simply don't know what to do.
Just because the MSM didn't report of this rift in the Repugs doesn't mean it didn't happened.

I suppose, like Global Warming, they'll just pretend like it's not happening.

5. Perhaps their new mascot should be the ostrich, not the elephant.

9. Just in time for the Sunday talk shows

and I mean that in a good way.

10. Clinton needs to point out how regressive palin's views are regarding women's issues

just an idea - have Clinton do an ad where she's talking about issues important to women

tagline: I didn't put 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling only to have Gov. Palin install a new ceiling

11. Ahh

That's good.
