25k to have coffee with the VP nominee, yet McCain wants to post-pone the debates due to the wall street financial crisis... Laughable, Republicans.

So those to the left they don't mind that Mr.Obama has done this type of thing already several times. He did this last week in L.A. for his camp if it is o.k. for one then it is o.k. for the other as well. And if you are outraged when one does it then you should be just as outraged when the other does it. If you are not why? You like one more than the other fine but don't act like the one you do like would not do that when he/she does it as well.

Well, at least the Dems gave the donors dinner and music. The Repubs are giving the donors Folgers. For basically the same price?!

And the Repubs are still confused as to why Dems are trusted more with taxpayers money?!

So what!! I think for the most part people are finally starting to realize that Palin is inexperienced, has no Foreign Policy experience, has lied numerous times to the public and is in HOT WATER with the Trooper Gate Investigation. I think Palin will not be on the VP ticket come October!!! The Republicans are looking very desperate now!!!

mmm... let's see Barock star Messiah can go to Hollywood and charge $30,000 a pop but a small town gal with big ambitions is crucified for charging 1K for a cup of joe? Who's the elitist? I wonder if Hillary Clinton would have been treated this way? But then again, had the country wanted a women on the ticket Hillary wouldn't have been kicked to the curve by a nation that claims to admire her. Men are intimidated by powerful, independent women who can rule with their mind while men can only think with their snawzola. I wonder if these type of men think like that about their mothers?

OK, didn't Obama just have the same type of expensive fundraiser? Y'all are such hypocrits!!! Governor Palin has come to Colorado twice since being nominated, and both of the prior times for free. So what if people are willing to pay the big bucks to see her. Celebs pay that much and more to see Obama. get over yourselves.

$25K wouldn't even get you through the door at Streisand's Obama fundraiser and I don't even want to know what the price of admission to George Clooney's Swiss alp Obama fundraiser is. (I notice neither of those facts were included in the story.)

Bear in mind - If Obama had KEPT HIS WORD and stayed with public finance, this wouldn't be an issue.

What I can't quite understand is how more and more women out here furious and John McCain for not allowing Palin to speak to the press. Women want their voice to be heard and all of sudden it seems as though you have a man telling her when she can speak and when she can't? What a joke. McCain is not ready to lead this country and his choice was shallow at best. Her own local paper can't even speak to her? What? Scripted lines? Are you serious? We know that H.C. can hold her own. I am just shocked that women aren't really speaking up about this at all, maybe McCain has control over them too. $25(k) is a lot to spend to sit and WATCH someone.

AirMax95,
I agree why is the McCain campaign so sexist? They aren't letting Palin speak to reporters and her handlers are trying to have the VP debate canceled or postponed. Women all over America feel appalled, insulted and patronized for their arrogance.

Really? Looks like tens of thousands of "appalled, insulted and patronized" women at every one of Sarah Palin's rallies to me.

Sitting Governor.

Now, what are Obama's credentials again? That's right... community organizer (whatever that is).

Because we've watched her interviews with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric. Now we understand why they're keeping her away from the reporters.

On John McCain's "maverick" record:

"I'll get some examples for ya and bring them to ya!"
