FactCheck.org caught McCain-Palin’s lie regarding Barack Obama’s support for clean coal, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting out their robocalls in coal states on the eve of the 2008 election.
See the September 30, 2008, Annondale Political Fact Check, Not Coming Clean on Coal.
A McCain-Palin ad claims the Obama-Biden ticket opposes clean coal. Not true. [...]

As charming as Sarah Palin is at times, she terrifies me.
She is especially dangerous for two reasons. The first is that very disarming, folksy charm that propelled her career so far in so little time. The second is her religious fervor.

As many times that Sarah Palin tells us that her $150,000 Neiman Marcus/Saks wardrobe is just like staging and lighting purchase, the purchase of clothing with campaign funds is a crime.
