Sarah Palin's Shameful Record on Wolves --Sarah Palin Supports Shooting Wolves and Bears From Airplanes (Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund) Alaska Governor and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is a strong promoter of the aerial hunting of wolves and bears, a practice that has been condemned by conservationists, scientists and many hunters alike. It involves shooting wolves and bears from the air or chasing them to exhaustion and then landing and shooting them point blank. The animals, shot with a shotgun, usually die a painful death. The hunters involved in the program keep and sell the animals' pelts. "Sarah Palin's anti-conservation position is so extreme that she condones shooting wolves and bears from airplanes or using airplanes to chase them to exhaustion and then shoot them point blank. Most Americans find this practice barbaric, but it's routine in Alaska under Palin's leadership," said Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund president Rodger Schlickeisen.

Obama Gains Among White Males, Palin Hasn't Helped McCain on Women Although John McCain still has a double-digit lead among white male voters, Barack Obama has closed the gap by 8 points and among whites who are independents, he has narrowed the deficit to 5 points, according to Gallup's analysis of August's tracking poll data and a comparison of it to polling done Aug. 30-Sept. 1 after the Democratic convention... Sarah Palin so far does not appear to have helped McCain much among white women.

Oh my now I am hearing rumors they are doing the stage so McCain can run around the stage, it is the "town hall meeting theme"
If every town hall meeting consists of older White people then, well be it, that's how he should conduct his speech tonight because that is all of the audiance.
