Palin Met With Boos at Flyers' Opener  —  When Sarah Palin dropped the ceremonial first puck at the Flyers' opener on Saturday night at the Wachovia Center, she was greeted by resounding (almost deafening) boos.  Ed Snider, owner of the Flyers, had her introduced to the crowd more as a hockey mom …

Booed on the ice  —  It's hard to blame Sarah Palin for her booing on the ice in Philadelphia this evening.  It's almost a truism of politics that if you send a pol to a sporting event, he's going to get booed.  Politicians, as a class, aren't all that popular, and it's what sports fans do.
Glenn Reynolds / Pajamas Media:

The Boo Birds  —  So, how did Philadelphia Flyers fans greet Sarah Palin, who was on hand tonight for the ceremonial puck-drop?  —  Watching on Comcast, it seemed like there was an avalanche of boos when she walked out — boos that were almost immediately drowned out by blaring, bombastic music.
Andrew Malcolm / Top of the Ticket:
What John Lewis' attack on John McCain's really about, and Obama's response  —  With the number of pre-election days dwindling and the temper temperatures rising, we had more of the predictable homestretch toing-and-froing over campaign attacks today.  —  Someone on Side A says something …
The Politico:
What impact will the finding that Sarah Palin “abused her authority” have on the campaign?  —  As one who was a victim of violence and hate during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, I am deeply disturbed by the negative tone of the McCain-Palin campaign.
