Palin's first W.Va. stop a brief one

KENOVA, W.Va. -- Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin made a pit stop in West Virginia on her way to battleground state Ohio.

The Alaska governor and her family spent about 25 minutes in the state Sunday as their two-engine plane touched down at Tri-State Airport in Kenova. She made no remarks.

About a dozen supporters greeted Palin as she left the aircraft holding her infant son, Trig. Other members of her family were traveling with her.

    That is such a shame, I wonder if she got to use the bathroom while she was in our beautiful state. That about sums it up.

    That snub should tell us all how McCain/Palin feel about us. They
    could care less. So let's change this red state to a true blue one.
    VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08.

    Could someone ask Palin what criminal penalties she wants for rape victims that have abortions? She is anti-choice except to protect the life of the mother. If abortion is first degree murder, and in Alaska there is the death penalty for first degree murder, then would she advocate the death penalty for rape victims that get abortions? What is pro-life about that?

    Who cares? Personally, I don't know anyone who plans to vote Republican, not even my friends of the right.

    A PIT-bull stop is a PIT-bull stop. Perhaps the Hockey Mom, needed to apply LIPSTICK, before continuing her journey to OHIO! I'm disappointed; but NOT surpised, that she didn't have any comments, to the residents, of West Virginia, on behalf of the McCain-Palin Camp. Too bad, she didn't have time, to meet some of the dedicated, honest and friendly people, in a state, rich in history, natural beauty, heritage, and pride. A state with a reputation for unparalleled friendliness
    MAYBE EVEN A FEW 'JOE SIX-PACKS'!
