Psychics: Stars not aligned for Palin

Well-known psychic Elizabeth Joyce has doubts there will be an election this November. Her instincts tell her that, come next week, there might be “rioting in the streets and martial law” and that President Bush will henceforth carry out his term indefinitely.

But that’s next week. Tonight, there’s a vice presidential debate. And Joyce’s predicted outcome runs closer to conventional wisdom on the much-anticipated matchup between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. She believes that the debate will ultimately go a long way in determining the next president, and that Biden will take the day so long as he doesn’t push her too much.

Joyce, whose website claims she was “born with the authentic gift of psychic ability,” was one of a handful of prominent psychics Politico surveyed to get a better “sense” of how the Palin-Biden matchup might shake out. According to their occult minds, Biden has the edge and, ominously, the moon and stars are not aligned in Palin’s favor.

Deanna Fitzpatrick, a Reiki Master from Biden’s home state of Delaware, also got the vibes the senator would win. Her psychic instincts tell her that during the debate, Palin “should take some pauses, instead of trying to answer too quickly. I think she’s going to struggle at that. I think she’s going to have a tendency to grab at things too quick and she just has to take her time.”

A Politico reporter predicted that Fitzpatrick was a supporter of the Obama-Biden ticket; she confirmed the premonition.

Before the Thursday evening debate, the gang over at Psychic Source TV (self-promoted as “the nation’s oldest and most respected psychic service”) will do a debate preview, the first of its kind they’ve done.

Psychic Moira O’Dowd, numerologist Paige Kelley and “not just a tarot card reader” Therese Baxter broke it down for Politico on Wednesday.

When asked how many customers have asked them questions about the election, O’Dowd said that they’ve gotten quite a few requests to do astrological readings of Obama and Biden, but not really any of McCain.

“Maybe that’s an indication of our client base,” O’Dowd said.

Biden’s astrological sign is Scorpio, which according to the Psychic Source website means he’s “deeply and emotionally connected to his career” and “focuses his passions on the task at hand.”

Palin is an Aquarius, which, O’Dowd said, means she’s free-spirited, free-thinking, innovative, outspoken and articulate — "although she hasn’t shown that lately.”

That means Mercury’s retrograde could really stultify Palin. “There’s a slight astrological possibility that Mrs. Palin would pull out. ... Or she maybe just have one of those long Ms. South Carolina pauses,” O’Dowd said, referring to a notorious and excruciatingly embarrassing beauty pageant flub that occurred in 2007. She pegged its likelihood at 50 percent.

“It should be very interesting," she said. "With moon square Neptune, it is going to make it problematic for her to find her words.”

Palin supporters might find comfort in numerology, where Palin checks in with a “life path number” of six.
Sixes “can be compassionate,” says Kelley. “They can try to pick up the burden. … What I’m sensing in her life path is these are the characteristics that you’ll see her exhibit when she does the debate.”

Biden, Obama and McCain turn out to have the same “light path number” of 11, which denotes someone who “is highly intuitive about situations” and “a very deep thinker.”

Both vice presidential candidates have the same “destiny number” of eight. This is determined by a computation involving the letters in their name. Kelley said this suggests that both are “status-oriented, power-seeking and have high material goals.”

“They also have expression and are very equipped in managerial sense, outstanding with organizational and administrative activities.”

Unfortunately, she said, this value also suggests both are filled with a certain level of intolerance.

Finally, those most interested in the entertainment value of the vice presidential debate will be heartened by the vibes Baxter has picked up.

“I think they are going to tussle, and I think the fur is going to fly,” she said.

“This thing I’m seeing: Biden will underestimate her — he does that sometimes with women — but she is going to lose her cool. She’s going to go off script and it’s going to get interesting.”

Overall, the consensus among the psychics was that the presidential race has at times been too unpredictable for them.

“I am a very good psychic, but every four days everything has changed for me in the last month and a half,” Baxter said.

Baxter and others say that the debate could very well affect the remainder of the race. But you hardly need a psychic to tell you that. So in the end, it turns out, your guess is as good as theirs.

“At this stage of the game,” said Kelley, “this race is too close to call.”

Well, I saw the whole debate last night and I thought Sarah did great.  She held her own and didn't spontaneously combust.  You go girl!  icon_prost

[Richard]

I thought Palin did ok but I thought Biden did better. I don’t like the way Palin avoids answering questions. In every interview I seen her in so far she dances around questions.

[Mercy Now]

I agree Richard. She dodged in depth answers and if she used the term maverick one more time  even I was going to pack my bags and move to Russia.;) Having been around too many beauty  pagents  in my life,not as a contestant :?, I noticed Sarah used many skills learned there. Biden ,on the other hand ,though he was quite capable of it ,didn't tear her into shreds. Although I thought he might after her little song and dance about the vice presidency.He did a great job on setting the record straight on the overstretching of Cheney. In my opinion Biden won this debate hands down for substance. Palin won for being cute.

Also I was relieved and happy to see Palin show interest in her baby going up to her daughter ,who was holding him, and asking "How is he doing?"

[Astrojewels]

So what do you all think? We do not get a lot of the election news but have seen many clips of her lately and she does not seem to be doing so well, she seemed forgetful with why she was there and what she was doing? Could any of you see her as your vice president?

[Mercy Now]

From what I've seen so far  AJ I wouldn't want her for a vice president.I don't enjoy saying that because I know women are  more than capable of the job.

I have to wonder why you don't get much election news but get clips of her?  Trophy  VP? :)

[DreamTime]

Palin is a ditz.

SARAH PALIN’S 18 LIES

1. FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC: Palin said “it was John McCain who pushed so hard with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform measures,” but fact checkers say that’s “Quite A Stretch” And “Barely True,” and that McCain was a “latecomer” to the discussion.

2. FUNDAMENTALS ARE STRONG: Palin tried to say “John McCain saying our economy was strong” but McCain has used the phrase “The Fundamentals Of The Economy Are Strong” At Least 16 Times This Year.

3. PARTISAN POLITICS: Palin said McCain is “known for putting partisan politics aside to just get the job done,” but he has voted with Bush 90% of the time in the Senate and bragged about his support for Bush on important issues.

4. TAXES ATTACK: Palin repeated the attack that Obama voted for higher taxes 94 times, which the New York Times says is “false,” CNN says is “Misleading,” and FactCheck.org says is “inflated.”

5. TOBACCO REGULATION: Palin said to “look at the tobacco industry” as an example of McCain pushing for even harder and tougher regulations. But McCain opposed expanding the SCHIP children’s health insurance program for 5.8 million children because it would increase tobacco taxes.

6. SPENDING INCREASES: Palin said Obama is is proposing “nearly a trillion dollars in new spending,” but didn’t mention that he has also proposed cuts to balance it out, an attack CNN has already debunked as “misleading” and that ignores the far larger cost of McCain’s tax cuts and spending hikes.

7. HEALTH CARE: Palin claimed Obama’s health plan is “government run” which has been widely debunked as a “canard.”

8. HEALTH CARE. Palin says taxes wouldn’t go up under the McCain health care plan, a fact even his own campaign has acknowledged isn’t true.

9. TROOPS: Palin repeated what the AP called the “highly misleading” attack that Obama opposed funding for the troops, and Factcheck.org notes that the same methodology would lead to the same conclusion for McCain.

10. GLOBAL WARMING: Palin said “I don’t want to argue about the causes” for global warming, when she has clearly taken the position that she doesn’t not believe it is man-made.

11. MCCAIN IS CONSISTENT: Palin said McCain” doesn't tell one thing to one group and then turns around and tells something else to another group,” when that is exactly what he has done on immigration, telling Hispanic leaders he was for comprehensive reform instead of the enforcement focused approach he has taken with conservatives.

12. MCCLELLAN NOT MCKIERNAN: Palin referred to the US commander in Afghanistan, David McKiernan as “McClellan.”

13. MCKIERNAN ON “SURGE:” Palin said that [McKiernan] did not say a surge wouldn’t work in Afghanistan, when just yesterday he said “The word I don’t use for Afghanistan is ’surge,’ ” McKiernan stressed, saying that what is required is a “sustained commitment” to a counterinsurgency effort that could last many years and would ultimately require a political, not military, solution

14. KILLING CIVILIANS. Palin said “Obama had said that all we're doing in Afghanistan is air raiding villages and killing civilians and such a reckless, reckless comment and untrue comment again hurts our cause. That's not what we are doing there.” Unfortunately, the Associated Press says that Obama was right in discussing a critically important point about avoiding civilian casualties.

15. TEACHING: Palin said we need to make sure “that education in either one of our agendas, I think, absolute top of the line,” when McCain has repeatedly favored tax cuts for the wealthy over funds for more teachers and class size reduction.

16. PARTISAN APPOINTMENTS: Palin said “You do what I did as governor. And you appoint people regardless of party affiliation. Democrats, independents, Republicans, you walk the walk, don't just talk the talk” when she repeatedly appointed friends and supporters to positions for which they weren’t qualified.

17. FOCUS ON CLIMATE CHANGE: Palin falsely claimed that she was the first governor to form a climate change subcabinet, when at least 28 states had already taken action.

18. DARFUR DIVESTMENT: Palin claimed that “when I and others” found out that the state had money invested in Sudan that “we called for divestment,” when the reality is that Palin’s appointees worked to kill a Darfur divestment plan.

Apparently McCain didn't think it necessary to consult with Palin about pulling the campaign out of Michigan as she  only heard about through the news media. This confirms my belief that she is only token.She didn't seem pleased about that and to her credit she was disappointed as she felt she could have made some inroads there given the opportunity. 

This is my feeling  on the current administration.........Daddy Bush and TPTB placed GW as the prez in name only Cheney is really the President .Cheney and TPTB chose McCain as the replacement for Cheney(President) again so they could control him and Palin is just intended to be a token. She may surprise them.

[Richard]

Bush and Cheney are so desperate for McCain to win that they picked Palin because they thought they could get all Hilary’s supporters. They got some but not all.

Obama has been ahead in the polls and I think the only way McCain can win is if there is vote fraud. I see they are already predicting that with a Simpsons episode.

I thought it was funny McCain pulled out of Michigan. Republicans never did stand much of a chance here. Republicans have created the highest unemployment rate in the US here.
