What she said wasnt at all smart, especially for a person in her position.

Her words were obviously said in sarcasm, and disgust at the way things are going. I find it sad that you cannot even make a joke without that pig Limbaugh twisting everything.

Ummmm.... have you listen to it? It was delivered in a monotone, poli-speak way without a hint of irony or laughter, she was not making a joke.

Just because her staff spun it as such, doesn't make it true. The entire undoctored ramble is now on sites all over the web so go listen.

OH and this story is several days old...Limbaugh neither broke it or had a hand in breaking the story so I have to wonder he has even been brought up?

Ummmm...could it be because of this from the original article?

But Republicans and critics have pounced, including radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. He called her "dumb, stupid, bumbling and foolish" on Wednesday.

There is no snark, no inflection, there is not even a understatement curtness to her voice. There is nothing to say she was trying to make a sarcastic point.

This was a public forum with the microphones on and whatever point she was trying to get make was lost as it was poorly conceived and poorly delivered.

She floundered in her answer and come up with something stupid, plain and simple. BTW... and here's the kicker, there is ZERO in Gov. Purdue's rhetorical
record or writings that even hints that she is capable of such witty and sarcastic banter.

I'm not sure what it was but she makes a good point.

Nothing gets accomplished because the people we elect spend so much time on getting re-elected.

Especially in the House.

We heard that on the local news here too. We're only about 20 miles from the N.C. line.
"Suspend elections?"
Is that something *anyone* should be saying?
Boy, those Democrats are blowing themselves up like a jihadist with a dynamite pack strapped to his chest.
Usually the Democrats start panicking in Sept, two months before the election.
They're starting WAY early this election!

Typical Democrat response:

"Anything any Democrat does, no matter how low, no matter how stupid, no matter how criminal... is perfectly okay with me, because I can imagine that theres a Republican somewhere who may have does something similar once."

No,an American and your party`s choice,John McCain.

What a dope.

Don`t you remember?He was to fly back to Washington,to save the day.

Even blew off an appearance on David Lettermen,so as to save us from calamity.

Only he didn`t blow off David Letterman to jet to DC to save us from disaster,he instead did another interview....

"David Letterman Reacts to John McCain Suspending Campaign"

That was priceless.

Hi Lucy

I have to agree with the others- I don't think she's joking. Conversely, this thread in a microcosm has shown what she's upset about- and rightfully so.

Here's a governor saying that basically, that the ship of state has hit an iceberg and is sinking. The Republicans, intent on winning the 2012 elections are not doing anything to shore up the bulkheads, and instead are running around screaming the captain ran us into an iceberg. Some of us would point out that actually, the iceberg bash happened on the previous administrations watch, and that Obama has been doing his damnedest to try and fix things, but the Republicans have so distorted his record, that he's been unsuccessful.

From her perspective- the Republicans are going to win the election- and hence, the year and a half running up to it is going to be time which the Republicans will waste not fixing the country- in order to make sure of their election victory.

Had she been more eloquent- and use the phrase that the Republicans are fiddling while Rome burns to make sure that Obama loses- well, that might have been clearer.

Her call to abandon the elections is a desperate move- and she knows it. She's showing that she understands how much trouble the country is in- that we're entering a double dip recession which will likely turn into a full blown depression. It's desperation to let the Republicans run things, but she sees little hope for the Democrats to pull a miracle out at this point. It's a very depressing suggestion....

That the Republicans blame her for it shows that they don't grasp how awful things have become from her perspective.

Suspending a campaign, and suspending an election are very different things. Now we should note, since the subject has been raised, that candidate Obama stuck to his plan at that time, because as we've all seen with our own eyes since, he'd rather campaign than govern, any day of the week.

As to the comment from this Governor, there was no sarcasm, no joke, no hyperbole. Democrats have that streak of "we know best," lust for totalitarian control, and she let it show. Let us hope the voters of her state remember this, when her name is on the ballot again. And if the ballot box isn't where it is supposed to be, when it is supposed to be there, the jury box and ammo box are next in line.

Actually its not Rich, seeing as only one person said to suspend his campaign...it didnt last long did it, what maybe a day??
she says thewhole system should change on her say so and the world explodes...
one person, ... dos NOT make a decision about the election process
Mc Cain, DID sayit, he did do it, everyone called himon it, it never happened.
what Perdue said is as likely to come about as Palin becoming pres in 2012 or 2016.
no matter how many dems said it.
bloody stupidity.
