Boehner on Palin
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester, has high hopes that Alaska Gov. and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is the ticket to winning the crucial swing votes in southeast Ohio in November.
“I think that’s probably her strongest quality,” he said. “She will appeal to those middle-class voters in Ohio that we need to win.”
Palin, he said, “speaks like a normal person,” without too much political talk, and will win support among social conservatives in the state.
Voters don’t ordinarily vote for a vice-president, he acknowledged.
But “what she has brought is a level of enthusiasm that we have not seen in this campaign,” he said.
“I’m going to do everything I can to have her in Ohio and the Midwest alot,” he said. “She can be a great asset to our congressional candidates throughout the Midwest.”

Give me a break! Palin will probably spend more time in Ohio during the next 2 months than Boehner did last year. “Sun Tan Johnny” indeed! When will we get a serious challenger in the 8th district?By rugrat

I think hedcutter forgot one thing, it was Sarah’s CHOICE to have another baby. And, she PROVES her stance on abortion by not terminating the pregnancy. It is obvious that the baby is loved by all in Palin family.By hedcutter

At the age of 43 and a sitting governor Sarah Palin decided to have another baby. She already had four children. Anyone with a high school diploma knows that pregnancy after the age of 40 is very risky for the mother and even more risky for the fetus. Her decision was reckless and very irresponsible.
