i just cant wait till they challenge her on real issues affecting the american public. this woman is a joke, i wonder why people can be so daft to even listen to her

Wake up folks. Hasn't anyone noticed how quiet things are in Iraq right now? It's not because the surge, it's because the nearness of the election. It's smoke and mirrors, corruption by our government and careful payment plans to those who can control the hot spots in Iraq so as to make it appear the surge has worked. "Caribou Barbie" and McSame need to focus on more than Iraq. Of course, they have no solutions, just attacks and rhetoric. BE VERY CAREFUL not to get caught up in the GOP lying Machine.

Remember, she is an expert in foreign affairs living so close to old evil empire! What a hockey NUT!

Why is it that when a Republican questions a Democrat on their record it is attack politics? But when its the other way around, its just pointing out differences?
Get a spine libs. If your candidates are so great they shouldn't have an issue with someone questioning them.

Hey WHY SARA….

Please do some research before you post things on here.

Sen. Obama DID NOT VOTE against the Iraq War. He had no vote on the Iraq War.

Sen. Biden DID VOTE for the Iraq War.

ohhhh boyyyy…..

In fact….Sen. Obama has voted for EVERY iraq vote tha Sen. Mccaine has!!!

ohhhh boyyyy

I think it's pretty clear what the McCain campaign is doing with Palin.
Palin was brought on to the campaign for two reasons: 1. To pander to the extreme religioius right. 2. To try to get the disgruntled Hillary supporters to vote for McCain. Reason 1 probably worked. Reason 2 didn't; Hillary supporters are smarter than that. Now, watch the McCain campain in the next few weeks. Now that McCain has the religious right on his side, it's mission accomplished for Palin. She is no longer useful. Palin will soon resign for "personal reasons" (pushed off the bus by McCain's campaign management). McCain will then say, "Gee, guys, I tried, but now there's not enough time to find another religious and right-wing VP. I guess I'll have to go with Lieberman." McCain will then have won over the right, and have the VP he actually wants.

she needed to read cue cards to insult Obama…..HAHA that's rich!!!

There is only one word that applies to this woman.

It begins with a "B."

That might be sexist, but there is really no other way to describe her. I sure as heck don't want her representing the United States at ANY table from the cabinet room at the White House, at the United Nations, or especially in a foreign country where DIPLOMACY is key.

Speaking of sexist, her "lipstick" jokes are totally sexist, whether she instigates them or not.

Good grief. You Bots will say anything in the hopes that repeating it enough will make it true.

Obama became a Senator in 2005. The Iraq war started in 2003.

He wasn't even in the Senate when the vote came up. He made a single speech in 2002 against it.

Then he voted "present" in the Illinois State Senate…

Anonymous, that is great and so true! Thanks.

WOW..are they really talking about Iraq being a success?? and people are cheering?? that's unbelievable.
After this war was hinged on perpetuated lies that Saddam was connected to 9/11, was funding and had ties to Osama Bin Laden, that the ANTHRAX attacks were from Iraqis strains. After knowingly deceiving the American public they have the GAUL to focus on SURGE???
Hope she does a better job distinguishing Sunni & Shiite factions.

I saw part of that interview. Obama can't acknowledge that he made a mistake. Sound familiar people? I'll give you a hint. His nickname is W. Wake up people before it's too late. Obama is not qualifed for the job.

“I guess a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer only you have actual responsibilities,”

Right, because being a state and federal senator doesn't actually involve responsibility. By the same argument, McCain's 25 years in the senate doesn't count.

"how come mccain and his barking chihuahua"

LOL!!!! That's good!! A chihuahua!! That's good, let me write that down…

When will she stop the one-liners and sit down for an hour on Meet the Press? Let's see how tough she is when she has to answer questions.

I thought PTA moms and dads were like community organizers since schools are a part of the community. So in a sense she got her start as a community organizer. It is funny how the Republicans think certain things don't apply to them. For example, what would the opinions be if one of Obama's daughters were pregnant at 17. The Republicans would be asking the Dems what type of example they are for our nation. I say it would be a terrible example for the Vice President of the United States to have a pregnant teen, what would other countries think of us then. America the Pitiful, that is what they will call us. If she is elected she would be the youngest grandma.

So, please, tell me exactly what it is that is Palin's job. She seems to be an "opening act" for McCain, and he just stands there, and lets it all come out of her scripted mouth. How dare she make fun of community service. People should read up on what kind of mayor/governor that she has been, and how she treats people. All the McCain camp is doing is stealing Obama's slogan for change, and throwing out negativity day after day. It is what Obama said the other day. It is time for this negativity to stop, and start discussing the issues. I am so looking forward to the debates–and, just let the McCain campaign cry sexist when Joe Biden starts grilling her. To me, a politician is a politican, there is no gender. If you want to talk like a "man", and throw punches like a "man", then you had better be able to take it like a man. The McCain campaign is making the presidential run into a Karl Rove playbook again–please, wake up America, and smell the coffee!!!

Experience, experience, what has experience gotten us. This is my first time in really being curious about the election and i must say that as a christian, for mccain to say that he is a christian, i am very disappointed in the way that he has allowed the attacks to go on, i expected to see a different way of doing things, you dont have to diminish a person's accomplishments to make yourself look more appealing to just win an election. I am not proud of the way that my country has been going either, but it is time for change. Just because Obama is not experienced enough, dont mean that he cant be a successful president, like he said it is going to take all of us to help change this nation and restore it to the that it was suppose to be. As for Palin, she said that she has taken on the Old Boys club, so then she should be able to handle whatever the media or anyone else throw at her an not cry sexism. As a woman if i make the choice to hang with the big dogs then if a crap breaks out then i do what i need to do and not whine about it. We as Americans need to take a stand for change and not be afraid of going into a new direction that will leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren to come. Change is hard but if we as a nation work together we can change the Nation and the lives of others that watch to see how we were willing to try change. I would rather take someone without experience because at least you know what you are getting, and you know that they are willing to do their very best to prove that giving them the job was not a mistake. The ones that say they have all the experience is the reason that we went to war in the first place. John Mccain refuse to admit that we should have never been in Iraq in the first place, instead he harps about the success of the surge, well guess what if we hadn't went there a surge woundnt have been needed. Thousands of our troops have been lost fighting a war that we shouldnt have been in, in the first place, why are we not mad about that? Sadaam had nothing to do with 9/11 but our troops are in Iraq, please tell me mccain/palin why is that? Wake up America if we dont fight for change now, then if the republicans get elected again, we deserved just what we get for allowing more of the same. The rich can afford to pay higher taxes, look at how much they are willing to pay lawyers when they need one, or when they want to throw lavish parties, they can do it, while the working poor can just barely make ends meet. We nned to look out for each other because the republicans have no clue what it is to go from paycheck to paycheck. Whats wrong with people being able to get the same health care that the republicans get, i am sure that they will get excellent health care why not us as a nation?

Check her out. She's absolutely amazing! Just someone who knows what life's like for me, an average American. I find it hard to relate to someone who flies his own private jet and makes $4,000,000 a year and whose "third child" is this campaign.

She is pretty, but has fould smelling mouth
Fact check from this morning showed 2 big lies in her speach last Wednesday. A third half truth was also noted
She is a big liar unfortunately

When did Alaska get annexed by Russia because Governor Putin, I mean Palin, sure seems to have picked up on the communist propaganda?

So let me get this straight. Miss Palin can attack Obama daily, but anyone who responds or questions her or her credentials is sexist. It must be great to have it both ways.

The wicked witch of the west strikes again!!!!! Ehhh heeee hee heeee my pretties.

ONE NATION

Sarah-cuda! How scary is she to our national and international interests?? We dont need a moose hunter or pitbull with lipstick who believes Iraq is a mission from God..he rplan is to pray about about it..as told to her church congregation. WAKE UP AMERICA!! SHE AND HER FAMILY HOLD EXTREME VIEWS AND ARE NOT WHAT WE NEED AT THIS TIME. THE POTENTIAL VP DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR ON THE JOB TRAINING AND CUE CARDS….SHE HAS NOT BEEN VETTED AND NOW IS NOT THE TIME. GO BACK TO ALASKA.

Isn't this the same person who admitted having no knowledge of the happenings in Iraq? Now after a week of being VP, she's the expert. What a joke…McCain & Palin.

Thank you Mrs. Authority on everyone's beliefs in America! You believe Obama was wrong, I and many others believe Obama was Right. And I and many others believe John McSame and President Bush was bonifiably, proven without doubt to be one hundred per cent wrong on the Iraq War! And may I add Mrs. Palin, as you'll never be my VP, that Senator McSame may predict success as often as he likes BUT predictions do not truths make!

And from where I sit, Iraq was an unvetted, suposition that turned into an American Night Mare for all Americans. And it is so thanks to the Republican Administration of which you now belong despite your lack of qualifications!

Why are you Obama supporters so bitter and hateful? I watched you do the same thing to Hillary Clinton for the past year and now you have started on Sarah Palin. Give her a chance. Why cant anybody say anything negative about your IDOL Obama without you all getting crazy- you are scary- This is Politics – it happens. Get over it. I am a Hillary supporter and I could never vote for Barack Obama, but thats my choice.

Wow….how funny that Obamabots are soooooo offfended she is reading off notes!!!!!! hahahaha

your candidate has a teleprompter to tell him what the weather is!!!

Divisive if not uneducated (just read about her college hopping). I think it won't pay off to play "The grandpa and the redneck" … but who knows.

I think instead of reading the remarks they give her she should give some interviews with real Q&A.

Can you please just stop with this woman. Can you please write something about Biden and what he is saying. i know it has some meaning. how many more times CNN is going to continue bring up what Palin said about community organizer. Please enough about Palin.

You guys at CNN are the reason I am changing to MSNBC. I really thought you where a fair news organization, but of course you are not. No equal coverage at all.

Sarah, Sarah, you still haven't learned how to keep your mouth shut. clueless and brainless but riddled with scandal – Just your typical Republican. The ultimate of elitist. You and McShame have no clue. Oh wait, you both have so much in common. Rumors swelling of your affair, McCain dumps disabled first wife for blonde bimbo, flip flopper, pork barrel money grabber, leaves city $20 million dollars in debt, abuse of office, ahhh the list goes on and on Sarah.

Reading off notes…LOL…Ohh God, Waldo has appeared now hurry get her in her cave and hide her again before she shows her real stupid self. Pathetic!

If she is an attack dog, she needs to have a muzzle put over her mouth as she doesn't have a clue to what is going on in the world.

"Also , as the father of a young daughter I am TERRIFIED by this womans stance on abortion."

LOL!!! Now that's funny. But hey!! She has 2 months to be special…but I have to say, her record is unique to say the least…very unique.

But you know what? Everything I have predicted has come true!! She became a celebrity, the ladies are gonna come after her, she could barely hang in there, etc. I gotta say, I'm too good for this, I'm surprised I haven't been hired, LOL!!!

Intelligence gained through education and how this education is used does matter to a presidential candidate. Let's see — Palin and Obama: Palin enrolled at six colleges to receive a degree in journalism? There just has to be some kind of a story there! Obama graduated from Columbia with honors – went on Harvard and edited the Harvard Law Review and now teaches constitutional law at Univ. of Chicago……….Palin was mayor of a town of 6,700 people, fired several town officials that did not support her as a candidate and tried to remove books from the libraby and fired the librarian when she refused. After a town uproar, she reinstated the librarian who eventually resigned and moved from the town. ………… Obama worked as a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER in Chicago to help less fortunate people get a leg-up………Palin was elected governor of Alaska, one of our least populated states………..Obamba won election to the Illinois House and then to the US Senate……..Palin is against any kind of sex education or family planning and disapproves of abortion for anyone even in case or rape or incest. She does not want the polar bear on the Endangered list as it might upset the "mighty hunters" of Alaska. She dismisses glabal warming as a hoax even when the Alaskan ice is meting right under her nose. She approves of shooting wolves from the air and is a strong advocate and life-long memeber of the IRA………..
Sarah Palin is against everything I believe in and her presidency would set women back a generation.

What a nasty, negative and mean-spirited woman. Jesus was a community organizer. You call yourself a Christian?

Go back to Alaska Sarah – your children need parenting.

KEEP ATTACKING PALIN. PLEASE KEEP ATTACKING PALIN

INDICT HER AS A
PARENT,
VP CANDIDATE,
GOVERNOR,
MAYOR,
POLITICIAN,
ALASKAN,
HUNTER,
PRO-LIFER,
WOMAN,
SPEAKER,
HUMAN,
LIFE FORM.

OBAMA DIDN"T HAVE THE COURAGE TO "ANNOINT" CLINTON AS
HIS VP CHOICE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. WHY???????????????

"Your true colors come shining through."

If Palin is such a great candidate put her out there on her own in front of the media. Not one orignal word from her in a week. Let's hear her talk about Iraq- just a few weeks ago she admitted she knew little on the subject. She needs to prove she isn't a fake.

Go get them Sarah. You have the Dems reaching for another bottle of merlot trying to figure out a way to calm you down. It's not going to happen, go Sarah Barracuda.

Hi Jack

Let's see here

Obama voted against the war
McCain voted for the war

A war which took a majority of U.S troops from fighting the terrorists that attacked the U.S on 9/11 and shipped them to Iraq.

So Sarah, who turned out to be profoundly wrong on the MOST vital national security issue?

This woman is out of control. Last night, I said good-night to my two 10-year-old sons and asked myself, do I trust Palin to keep my sons safe ?

what does she know about foreign policy?

That Palin seems to be as mean as they come, even for a conservative politician.

This is a woman who went to 6 schools before getting a bachelors in journalism. If this were a job interview, would you really hire her to be one heart beat away from CEO? At least have a little intellectual curiosity about how she makes decisions, her thought process.

"Mrs. Palin Needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer, and Pontius Pilate was a governor.” -unknown

I can't stand to listen to her voice.

If Sarah Palin is going to continue making these types of statements…the Obama camp must attack. She continues to minimize the contributions of community organizers who are fighting injustice, better quality schools, better health care, community parks and better representation in municipal, state and national offices. She was given the opportunity to be evaluated as a solid choice for the VP office, but now it seems as if she was selected to do dirty work for Senator McCain and the RNC.

As an open minded voter…I am somewhat disturbed that the potential for her representation as a Leader of America could be possible. Sarah Palin…stop the negative banter and start pushing John McCain’s policies for a better America. Also, we are pleased that he served our country and Bill Clinton and George Bush did not go and fight a war…Just a reminder that you don't have to fight a War to be President who makes a difference for the citizens of this Country. Just like you don't have to be Political Scientist to be President…..You could be a journalist, attorney, doctor or even a hockey mom. Don't let Politics get in the way of your morals, values and you lose your integrity!

Peace and Prosperity for Obama, McCain, Biden and Palin! I vote for all of you to represent the people and not just the party.

With the so called energizing of the republican base, how come mccain and his barking chihuahua has not overtaken obama in the polls. I thought that the republicans would be way ahead of obama after the barking chihuahua barked. But Gallup Poll and others still have obama leading even after the republican convention. Ain't they supposed to have the post convention boost?

Mind you, no matter what the polls say, it's gonna be obama by a landslide. I keep saying this to people. MARK MY WORD!!

I have made my decision to vote for Obama. Thank you Sarah. I am greatly offended by the insults.

If she has to read off of note cards now, how is she going to do in the debate? I can't wait to see that train wreck.

Its 3am quick call Hillary I'm slipping in the Poooles

2012 Clinton

She's starting to sound tiresome already. If McCain was so right about the surge, why has Gen. Petraeus said that our 146,000 troops will have to stay in Iraq until June, with no drawdowns. This was in the news yesterday. So much for the surge. Maybe our soldiers' deaths in Iraq are down, but also in the news yesterday was the very sad truth that our Iraqi veterans are committing suicide at a rate outpacing last year. Sarah, pray for your son a whole lot when he goes there next week. But even more, pray for him when he gets home, whenever that will be.

Obama/Biden – '08

When she speaks to the press and explain this trooper situation. She can talk and really to be honest how can she talk about National Security information when she is reading from a card and she has only been out of the country once.

Give me a break! McCain is pimping Palin. Now thats sexism

WE SHOULD HAVE NOT GONE TO WAR IN IRAQ-PERIOD.
YES OUR MILITARY IS THE BEST. THEY WERE POORLY LED FOR TOO LONG. NOT ENOUGH SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN IN EITHER PARTY STOOD UP TO BUSH/CHANEY/RUMSFELD. SHAME ON THE WHOLE BUNCH. WE NEED TO GET OUT NOW. WE SEND OUR SOLDIERS TO WAR AFTER 6 WEEKS OF BOOT CAMP. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO TRAIN IRAQ SOLDIERS TO FIGHT. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS WHOLE MESS. WE NEED TO GET OUT OF A PLACE WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE GONE. AND TOO BAD MCCAIN DID NOT DO MORE SOONER TO STOP THE WAR FROM STARTING. SUPPORTING THE "SURGE" WAS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. WHAT TOOK SO LONG TO SEND IN ADEQUATE TROOPS? TOO MANY PEOPLE AT THE TOP PLAYING DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND. THE MESS IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE WORKING SOLDIERS. ALL IN THE NAME OF OIL FOR CRONY OILMEN. NOW RICE IS PLAYING KISSY FACE WITH KHADAFI-OVER OIL OF COURSE.

We all know she was feed these words by Rove, but did she take ANY POLICY questions? Nope, she is applying for a job so just as when we apply for a job there is an interview….SHE MUST BE INTERVIEWED.

She cannot just travel around the country reading the Rethugs talking points without speaking out on issues that affect our everyday lives.

Those of you that thinks otherwise are not taking care of your family as you should.

Am I the only one sick of her after only a week. McCain kiss the election good bye with your dumb choice for a VP canidate. There were plenty of others that could be qualified to take the country over when something happens to McCain IF he were to win. Judgement my……………………..

Obama 08 BABY!!!!!

Can [R]s get less clueless?!!! The culturally challenged [R] VP candidate said: “I guess when you turn out to be profoundly wrong on a vital national security issue, maybe it’s comforting to pretend that everyone else was wrong too,” My God, this describes the Bush/McCain approach to spinning the Iraq disaster perfectly. And she actually thinks this describes Obama???!!! You've got to be kidding me. Man, they have left the monkees in charge of the banana store!!

IT'S TIME FOR US AMERICANS TO SORT OUT EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TWO CANDIDATES: PROS AND CONS. WATCH THE EXPERTS
ON THE ISSUES : THE REAL PROFESSIONALS IN JOURNALISM
ON TV , RADIO AND NEWPAPAERS. IF YOU WILL WATCH AND LISTEN REGULARLY ON THE NETWORKS YOU WILL FIND THE MOST POLITICAL NEWS AND MANY MORE REPORTERS, ANCHORS, PANELISTS AND MOST IMPORTANT THE ANALYSTS.
I HAVE CHOSEN DAVID GERGEN AT THE TOP OF THEM . AND LOU DOBBS AS THE MOST INDEPENDENT.. SO AS THE REAL CAMPAIGN HAS BEGAN . WE AMERICANS NEED TO LEARN
EVERYTHING WE CAN ABOUT THE CANDIDATES. WE HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND HISTORIC ELECTION IN NOVEMBER
AND WE NEED THE BEST LEADERS IN GOVERNMENT. THE NEXT PRESIDENT VP, THE CABINET AND THE SUPREME COURT WILL ALL CHANGE AS WELL AS OUT LIVES AND THOSE OF OUR CHILDREN. WAKE UP AMERICA.

Why is McCain not saying anything anymore. She is tough enough to talk about the war but not tough enough to have a one on one interview. Until she agrees to sit down to an interview and allow me an American citizen to hear her in her own words and not mimicking what someone else has said I can't even take her serious. The surge was a success and he is strong enough to admit that now what he and the rest of the country want to know is when we are we leaving and let the Iraqi government take over their own country and use some of that surplus money they have to pay us back.

Obama made the right judgement because he refused to be a yes-man and approve the Iraq war- the war which has seen over 4000 brothers, sisters, moms and dads dead. But Mccain did approve this war. Palin needs to think for herself not just have the campaign planners do te thinking for her.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im tired of fighting.

Obama had better start hammering back.

Miss Thang is a big girl and if she can hurl the lies and the character attacks at Obama, she's woman enough to take a few in the chin without hiding behind the moniker of "I'm a victim of sexism."

Hillary tried this and we see where it got her — defeated.

This must be an example of the McCain/Palin administration reaching across the aisle…to slap people in the face. And here I thought they were going to change Washington. This lady IS Washington!

Beer belly, gun-toting hunters and promiscuous women are all for you!

Go Palin G!! McCain/Palin 08

Where is the post on the skewering of McCain/Palin that Biden just gave? Double standards…. on CNN? No? Still no reporting on the GOP uppity remark and how racist it is! BIAS!!!

What a joke this pair is. Did they say anything today on how they will help with the 6.1% unemployment rate? Did they talk about the fact that 1 in 9 American families are behind on their mortgage? Did they talk about inflation rising faster than incomes? Did they talk about how we are wasting 12 billion dollars a month in Iraq so the Iraqis can sell their oil on the open market and accumulate an approximately 80 BILLION dollar surplus? Did they talk about what to do about global warming and the environment? OF COURSE NOT, THEY HAVE ZERO IDEAS ON HOW TO HELP THIS COUNTRY, ALL THEY KNOW IS TO ATTACK A GENUINLY GOOD MAN. How can any of you so called family values people vote for a man who CHEATED on his DISABLED wife with Cindy the Beer baroness ? Also , as the father of a young daughter I am TERRIFIED by this womans stance on abortion. Do you women supporters KNOW what her stance is? It is NO ABORTION EVEN IN THE CASE OF RAPE OR INCEST! Is this the kind of country we want to leave to our country? A country with NO choice for women, a country with a HUGE national debt (owed mostly to the COMMUNIST Chinese), A country who attacks soveirgn nations for all the wrong reasons, and a country where the RICH get RICHER and the rest of us should just be thankful to live off their scraps? I SAY ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Obama/Biden '08 AND '12

I wonder why Palin refuses to meet with the media or answer any questions about policy. Probably because she doesn't know anything.

When I first started reading this article I thoght, Wow, Palin has finally given and interview! WRONG, she is just reading off her cue cards giving a speech.
Jim Buss said "Here’s a regular person going to be the second most powerful person in the word."
We had the guy everybody wanted to have beer with leading the free world and look what that got us. Washington used to be elite. And by elite I mean the best. I think that we have lost the true meaning of alot of words. Being elite is not a bad thing. It means that you are the best, better than the rest, ya know, like what America used to be?

OBAMA '08

Hey :Independents For McCain
Hot off the Press: What a difference a week can make
The new data also shows significant increases in the number who say McCain made the right choice and the number who say Palin is ready to be President. Generally, John McCain's choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden.

______________________________________________________

What have you been smoking………………………………………………………….

This pitbull with lipstick is toast……………………………………………………….

Nobody is paying any attention to her except repub's and people who can't think of putting a black man in the white house…..(get real)

how is it this chick fly's down from Alaska (newcomer) and everyone (repubs) say's " we love her", "she's a fighter", "if she can handle 5 children she can handle the VP job" (get real)…… ya know her less than John McCain………(get real)

Michelle Obama should debate this chicken head………….

Please women don't make stupid statements like this you set us back 70 years

Obama/Biden 08

Anyone can read a talking point or two…..When did she become an
expert on Irac only a few months ago I saw her interviewed
and she had no opinion on Irac, he comments was "As I govenor I am
mor focused on state issues, I would have to looki into it"
My what a difference a crash course intalking points can make.
As A woman I am insulted and McCain selecting her and thinking
we are all so stupid we will vote for a wina wgi diesbt even believe in equal pay for woman, ajust one of her many right wing views…not foing to happen just because she is wearing a skirt…

When is she going to do an interview by herself and actually answer all these questions circulating? I bet when she does, she just blames the 'liberal press' and never actually give a truthful answer.

snarky…
very snarky.

PALIN'S STRATEGY:

refuse all media interviews (as she is doing) for the next two months so that it will remain unkown that she knows nothing about foriegn or domestic policy, am TOTALLY far right wing in ALL of my views, and couldn't care a less about women's issues and advancement although i'm a woman.

Why isnt she allowed to be interviewed if she is soooo experienced, such a pit-bull and ready to be VP?

What do they need to coach her on?
Does she need practice to answer questions?
Do Reps expect us to believe that if she is not ready for the Media then she will be ready to lead in 2 months?

Something smells rotten in Denmark (Alaska? decaying Moose meat?)

This is getting interesting… Palin is either a big hit or a time bomb.

Either ways we are about the see the political definess of the Obama/Biden ticket get it's first real test.

This is Biden's domain…

McCain……"A Man of the People"??? His wife's outfit cost over $300,000 !!!!! Yeah, right!!! Really down there with us little folks!!! What a hypocritical oaf. And Palin's abuse of her meager powers as Governor of Alaska….what would she do if she controlled the IRS, the FBI and the CIA??? God forbid this insanity lasts any longer!!!!

I will start listening to her and McCain when the debates occur and the speeches are not written for them! Right now, I am listening to Mr nad Mrs Karl Rove and I can't stand either one of them!!!

How would she know?

Oh yeah the war that should have never happened in the first place?
It's funny how now they talk about finishing the job of a war that was a sequel to GWB senior's war. Did he not finish the job? Did he pull out?
This war was a joke part of a secret agenda. Isn't that why so many good republicans retired? Hence, Colin Powell. Why is it that none of the real republicans are support this quack?

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

The surge was a tactical success, but not a "mission accomplished" success.. and this is what obama said early this year after the state of the union address. Also, the goal of the surge was to engender political unity and progress which is still preciously poised – so much so that the "surge" troops will have to stay a bit longer.. So a tactical success but not a success on its right.. get it!

Can she point it out on a map? I wouldn't know. She's never been allowed to speak her own words since one of McCain's own puppeteers attached the strings to her too.

Since McCain doesn't speak for the campaign (they have REALLY said that) and Palin certainly doesn't, you have to wonder who's actually running the show.

This whole idea that the surge is a success is something that I am not buying. Iraq wants us out of their country and instead of saying we are being booted out, we are saying that HEY EVERYBODY, THE SURGE WORKED, WE CAN LEAVE!!! It is an absolute sham and a joke in my opinion. Speaking of a sham and joke, this lady is turning our election process into a joke. Are we in high school? Is she seriously saying John McCain is a better man? I might differ from McCain on opinions, but I'm not going to say that Obama is the better man, that's extremely rude and crude. She's turning this into a zinger contest and it's dumbing down America. Why doesn't she just start cursing out Obama, that will get a reaction to, and then the poll numbers can reflect her "ability" to lead.

Democrats aren't scared of anything with her, we're just in amazement at how childish she is and can't believe that this childishness is being seen as confidence.

"Reading off notes"

Doesn't this speak volumes. She has to read off notes for a town hall meeting???????????????????? Doesn't know what to say off the cuff or from the heart???? When is the national media going to be able to interview her without TALKING POINTS or TRAINING!!!

If she is ready- than she should have problem giving interviews.

And excuse me Ms. Pitbull, but Mr. Obama was the first and only one to say that we should NEVER go into Iraq for a war.

And get your fact's straight you WOLF KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go hide in a cave like Osama Bin Laden and take Mc-Insane with you!!!

all this is is blah, blah, blah. we already know that they would like to stay there at least a hundred years, what else is new. when you go to war on very bad intelligence, and the wrong opponent, that's what we need to concentrate on people. bin laden is doing just fine, and we are no closer to getting him one way or the other. that was never the intent. the intent was to get our hands on the oil in iraq!!!!!!!

Too bad that John McCain didn't have the good judgment to vote against taking us into Iraq in the first place.

Or has everyone forgotten that?

You can not believe anything said in a stump speech, when the media has been told they can not get an interview. History was made last night, a vice president was nominated last night that nobody knows. God help us.

WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING ON?

THE ECONOMY?

THE WAR?

JOBS?

HOUSING?

… never mind.

She's kind of hot…….but empty upstairs.

Next……….

What does Sarah Palin know about Iraq other than what the Rovians have fed her about it? She wasn't there in Congress for the discussion or vote. All she knows is how to exploit her son being sent there soon (she's good at that with exploiting her pregnant daughter and special needs son, too).

And whatever happened to the separation of church and state with her telling high school students it was the will of g-d for the US to be in Iraq, or wanting to teach creationism in schools. With demands to ban books from the local library and trying to have the Librarian fired for not following her requests sounds like Palin would set this country back about a hundred years!

Keep on talking your nonsense Palin as it only serves to raise more money for Obama's campaign: "Palin's speech pulls in $8 million – for Obama!"

If I were the Dems, I would not under estimate Palin.

I can't wait for the debates. All Biden is going to do is tout all the Big Government and High Taxes crapola that is suppossed to save us.

Give me a break!

McCain claims he's running a clean campaign? Doesn't look like it from here.

Obama voted against the war in Iraq — correctly. Of course he voted against the surge – correctly. The surge wasn't successful because of more troops, it was successful due to better intelligence gathering.

They call Palin an attack dog. I have some less charitable words for her when she lauches these ugly, dirty, outright lying attacks.

She is attempting to speak on IRAQ policies and tactics?? This is the same governor who doesnt even know what McCain's policy is on Iraq

DEMOCRATS DON'T FEAR MCCAIN OR PALIN, IT'S THE ECONOMY WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE USING SMEAR BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY'VE GOT AND WE CAN'T USE IT TO SAVE JOBS, HOUSES, SEND OUR KIDS TO COLLEGE, PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, BUY HEALTH INSURANCE, PAY HIGH UTILITIES BILLS OR BUY GAS FOR OUR AUTOS, PUT MONEY IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT OR END THE WAR WHERE WE ARE SPENDING BILLIONS. SMEAR AND FEAR IS ALL MCCAIN AND PALIN HAVE TO OFFER AND THAT'S 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH.

Keep talking Sarah. Obama might make another 10 million. Plenty to refute your lies. How about the decision to invade Iraq in the first place? Obama was RIGHT. Osama Bin Laden should have been our highest priority. We invaded the wrong country and killed thousands in the process.

I know there is a God and I am praying to him to keep the Republicans from causing this country further harm.

Yeah, it was total success, thats why we are still there. The iraqis want us out, we might not have need the surge had we handed over the mess to the iraqis along time ago. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT OUT OF IRAQ….. period.

Why don't you talk the notes away and start talking?

I find it interesting that Obama, Biden and McCain will be on Sunday talk shows. Palin will not be on them because she is unprepared.

If she is unprepared to campaign…. how is she prepared to lead the country?

This woman is a fraud. She is a conservative and the farthest thing from a maverick.

The Obama campaign needs to adjust their plan and include Palin in their speeches. Her insistence that Obama has done nothing besides being a community organizer, a job he had after college and before law school, is outrageous. Did she forget she was a beauty queen and a news reporter? Obama is too respectful to throw that out, but it's tantamount to what she is doing. They need to highlight her lobbyist activities for her small town and also as govenor, her line item vetoes on major issues like women's rights, school issues, health care for children, and bring to the forefront her stand on policies that her campaign is choosing to ignore.

Attack dog Palin….community organizers all over this country are listening long and hard at her continual mean comments about their work. Obama raised 10 million dollars in 24 hours after her speech…we will do it again. I hope they make an ad from this and run it over and over again at all community centers. Your God may forgive you for this conduct but the American people won't.

Boy, I guess it's easy to keep repeating lines someone told you to say. She is going to be a puppet for McCain's nastiness while he takes the high road now?

What does Palin know about foreign policy? Nothing other than what the McShame camp is briefing her on, and why isn't she attacking Biden, he's the VP she's running against not the President. Palin is so unlady like and unprofessional! If she's so tough on everything and has so much experience, why can't she talk to the press, everyone else who ran did? I guess she's waiting for the McShame camp to tell her what to say. This election is serious business, there are people who thought they had everything together and are losing jobs, homes, retirement, and this McShame and Pailn are playing on the American people. It's terrible and it's too serious for him to be pandering to get elected to do the same things for the next 4 years. Maybe that's why he doesn't want Obama to win. McCain wants to tax everyone except the rich (Himself), he's lying about Obama's tax plan and I'm sick of it. I have real bills in the real world and I want someone who is going to look out for me and McShame-Palin are not it! The next time he wants to pander he should do it with someone in one of these 50 states who know something about the states and can handle more than one thing at the same time(floods, war, poverty) instead of bashing someone and not talking policy!

Palin is a fine, strong woman, but she needs to let me know how she can help me figuour out how to pay my bills and feed my family.

Why does this woman feels the need to be so negative to climb up the political stairs? This is very insulting to women. It really appears that McCain is dragging his pittbull everywhere, I should add his pittbull with lipstick. Please women, let us email this woman and tell her to stop this.Real hockeymom dont spend their time nagging others, they actually do real work. I am really starting to believe those media stories of her firing everyone, she sounds really nasty

I WANT PALIN TO HAVE HER SAY ON THE OPRAH SHOW…..IT IS ONLY FAIR TO ALL WOMEN……….

She is a nutcase! Why does she insist on disparaging Obama about his community organizer experience?? He was 23 years old when he did that!! She should be ashamed of herself. If she thinks that this kind of talk will win her votes, she better get a reality check! There are alot of community organizers out there who are appalled at her negativity regarding this subject.

Sarah Pailin needs to put the prewritten script down or learn how to memorize (plagerize)
She's a true republican

Please stop criticizing volunteer work done by community organizers.

Seriously.

They have done more to help America than any campaign speech.

Are you kidding me??? Sarah, please stop with all of the attacks. How do you even have time now that you are taking a crash course in Foreign Policy for the Bush Boys?

You say being a community orgainzer doesn't have actual responsibilities? What about the ministers and pastors who are involved in the communities? Organizations such as Meals on Wheels, Local Police, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the very own volunteers who are working on behalf of your campaign going door to door and making calls don't have actual responsiblities either? I am totally offended by these remarks. Can you imagine where we would be if it weren't for community organizations?

Obama/Biden 08

Somebody please get a muzzle.

I Can Relate To This Woman! We Have So Much In Common!. . . . We Both Dont Fully Understand Foreign Policy, We Both Dont Know How To Fix The Economy, We Both Dont Know How To Fix Health Care, And We Both Are Highly Under Qualified To Be Vice President! The One Difference Is Im Smart Enough To Vote For Obama!

How about an interview Ms. Palin. Those that are eating up this stupidity has to ve just that. Who is running for president? Apparently, she is. I am really getting tired of her smug answers. Talk about some issues besides the surge idiot!

She may be a hockey-mom and a pit bull but no qualifications to be Vice President. I know a lot of women want someone to lookup too but for GOD sakes think of the country. This PTA, hockey mom is not ready to lead this country or solve any problems we are having.

They are taking this week and next to get her use to foreign policies, economy, etc. if she has that much experience shouldn't she already know?

This just proves she is there just to get women voters, SHAMELESS MCCAIN!!!

Sarah cannot run her own household let alone run this country. Sarah, go sit down somewhere.

Drill baby Drill? …I"m going to throw up

Palin wants to drill our way out of the economic crisis. If it wasnt for Clinton, you wouldnt be using the Internet. You'll be chipping on stone tablets with Palin and Bush.

If you want to continue to use a typewriter, vote Palin/McCain

If you want to use Ipod and the internet and the next generation of energy and technology, vote Obama, powered by the Clintons.

I cant wait for Hillary to kick Palin's butt!!

Whatever comments are coming from a Hockey mom or from a rottweiler (with or without lipstick) are as irrelevant as the bla-bla-bla streaming from McCain mouth.

Just more gobblygook from the new queeen of elitistia!!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palin – is still refusing to grant interviews to the press !

WHAT IS SHE HIDING !

That woman is a disgrace…

substance is what we want…and dont tell us about you selling a plane a ebay…that is not what we call executive management.

jesus…what a disgrace that woman is….total lack of integrity…

Dic cheney with lipstick….

go away….

I hope the American people will see Palin for what she really is. An unqualified candidate seeking the office of the VP of the US. She in NOT qualified and I don't care how the Republican Party spin her time as Mayor and Governor, she is still not qualified to even tie the shoe laces of the next VP of the US as well as the POTUS.

Go back to Alaska! Your constituents need you there, not in Washington. Oh yea, are you contemplating firing anyone else because they do not agree nor follow you blindly?

I think "hammers" might be a little strong. Maybe a better headline would be "Palin repeats speech, stenographers put it on website."

Which one has a degree in International Relations again?
Has served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee?

Let's get real here people.

"reading off notes" come on when are they going take the leash off her and let her out on her own….Oh yea,,,she has no exeperince and would not beabvle to function without notes or being told what to say,
She is dangerous.
The comment that was made that she makes you realize that anyone can become something in the US is such a crock,,,,look at Obama he epitiomizes this, as does Hillary and so many other sucessful women.
I used to live in WI,,and all I can say is do not fall for this act.

Palin, you are a new political star, like Obama. I was so impressed by the speech you made on Wednesday. You had a 80 % job approval rate as governor which was astonishing. We are expecting something from you. You electrifies the Rep. party, you inspired young people like me from DEM.

I wonder what happened to the media? Did they see what you brought to the Rep. party? I guess so. See, Obama has to dispatch Hillary, Oparah.

Where's Biden ???

My God it was the same speech she gave at her acceptance of the nomination.
Could it be that the speech writer forgot to write her a new speech?

She would have to learn to give a different speech for listeners are soon going to be fed up with the same old substance free,attack filled speech.

What about the decision to go to war in the first place….just a small skip over on her part. She needs understand what she is saying versus just saying what they want her to say. Welcome to the bigstage.

Palin needs to read the intelligence report regarding the Iraq war. I don't think there was ever a question about the U.S Military being able to prevail, the question is: Why didn't Bush and his supporters of the war listen to the reports before going to war.

Obama/Biden 08

She can't spell Foriegn policy … if she could she'd be on

Meet the Press or Face The Nation or This Week or 60 Minutes or 20/20 or Dateline NBC.

So McCain talks about bipartisanship and mutual respect/admiration, but then the next day his campaign is back to attacking character and patriotism.

How very charming Miss Palin is.

When is she going to speak to the press… without her notecards?

Just keep spewing your scripted attack lines, Ms. Palin, because that's all you're good for. You don't bring anything but negativity to the ticket!

We do not need people like us. That's what Bush and Cheney offered just like McCain. We need people who are smarter than us. So let's stop dumbing down America.

Palin has done nothing for you and me. She has no right to judge Obama. Palin has no records of change on a national level. Obama has a record with finance reform.

About the surge? It's not a success. If it was a success, why arent we leaving immediately? Until we can have all opposing parties live in harmony, the surge HAS failed all of us.

And you republicans accuse Obama supporters of being star struck?? What a joke! This woman has been around for a week and you act like she's the next coming of Christ! Talk about kool-aid drinkers.

Yes, let's listen to this NEW COMER on the scene. Her words are so much more credible than Obama. I wonder why? Seeing as though he has been trying to prove his patriotism etc… for almost 20 months now! We don't know much about Palin and what we do know about her is highly disturbing! Obama has earned our trust but I guess since he isn't WHITE, he doesn't deserve our vote! I can't even believe people are actually considering voting for the right-wing nutcase who doesn't even believe global warming is partly a result of the damage humans have done to the environment. How is she going to help with that if she doesn't believe it. What is the GOP going to do about the broken education system in this country? They have no plan because they want us to stay dumb so we can keep voting them into office!

She ain't no average person she is as elite as they come. You can tell by the way she talks. She has that I am better than all of you air about her. As far as disparaging obama on his stance he has never wavered on anything. He is man enough to admit when something appears to have worked to say it did. Personally I don't think it has done as much good as you may think. The insurgents are just bidding their time waiting tfor us to leave and then it will be like n.vietnam taking the south again. Just another failed policy. It will fail because it was a policy made for all the wrong reasons.

Bristol's pregnancy is not the media's business

Unless you consider that Sarah cut funding for Teen Mothers in Alaska AND her press release said it was "Bristol's choice"…meaning her daughter can have a choice but if Palin's in office, our daughters can NOT have that choice…hypocrite.

Anybody can get on a stage and be nasty and sarcastic. I want to see her actually interviewed by the press on real issues.

Attack all you want Palin, it will not change the fact that Obama will be the Next Pesidnet of USA, as he is the only man in the real with any real character….

Obama/Biden 08 & 12

Did she talk about the all the typical small-town stuff like smoking dope, slaughtering animals from helicopters and getting a $1,200 oil check from the state every year; you know, Alaska is JUST LIKE Mayberry!!!

Hot off the Press: What a difference a week can make
The new data also shows significant increases in the number who say McCain made the right choice and the number who say Palin is ready to be President. Generally, John McCain's choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden.

Wowwwww.

I would be really worried if I was a Democrat.

Go McCain/Palin

Tell them how it is Sarah. GO McCAIN AND PALIN ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE.

this is funny in all people Ruplicans should neve say anything about Iraq or we are more safer today beacuse saddam in no longer in charge even tho he never attacked us, nor had any connection with Alqeada, most of 9/11 attackers were from Saudi arabia our so called greatest friend in the middle east, we spend 10 billion dollers amonth to protect oil companys while our citizen loose thier life time saving and houses, tell us something else Sarah besides attacking oboma, tell me why i should vote for you, how will you make my life and the lifes of americans better? by attacking the one person who said this was was wrong from the 1st day, tell me how you will correct this wrong, ooh wait Mcbush said we will be there in 100 years even tho the so called hand picked iraqi government wants us out typical repulicans, i know obama and i know mccain now tell me why should i vote for you and him besides telling me his life stories tell me his issues and the changes your administrations will make

This woman is so culturally devisive, it is actually nauseating. I used to like McCain, still do….but she needs to go.

And on the Iraq thing…doesn't the MCCain campaign realize the surge argument is weak considering Obama voted against the war in the first place that is strangling our economy and resources. He knew it was all Bush Lies. Band-aids on the War like the surge never would have had to happen.

She is a joke! How did we get to Iraq in the first place!

The bottom line is… what are we fighting to accomplish. Ok.. we got in under false pretenses… we destroyed their country.. and now we're im the process of fixing what we bungled up. That's it… what else is there at this point? McCain should just step up and say "We're fixing the mistake we made.. and we owe it to the Iraqi people for falsly attacking them".. and I bet everyone would be fine with it.

But using the repub's argument… we can attack Canada for just as much reason.. and just because they're fighting back would be enough reason for us to keep on surging. Of course they're gonna be fighting back in Iraq… we attacked THEM!

Why why why when I hear her speak do I hear nails on a chalkboard?

Great, we know she can parrot attack lines. Let's see if she has any knowledge of policy and if she can come up with an original response if she is seperated from her talking points or teleprompter.

She does not even have an Iraq Policy…. outside of Bush's, that is. Give me a break.

Praising the Surge is like setting a house on fire, putting it out and trying to get people to praise water.

You have got to be kidding me! I blame the media for allowing this woman with NO vision, NO platform, NO policy to continue to speak without challenging her.

She must be drawing on the extensive foreign policy experience she gained from being so close to Russia. "I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq." – Sarah Palin, March 2007. "I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does everyday?” – Sarah Palin, July 208

I have no idea why they keep slamming community organizers. What, the McCain team doesn't understand the idea of service?

Also, when is CNN going to report on Governor Palin's continued LIES about her opposition to the Bridge to Nowhere?!?!?

GIVE ME A BREAK! SHE IS A LOSER.

Come to Texas Sarah! We would love to hear from you.

You would think she'd have already learned about the community organizer thing. All she's doing is pissing people off more.

And what the heck does she know about Iraq anyway? Nothing. Unless you count the McCain camp telling her about it in the last couple of days.

Stick a fork in it. These guys are done!

NO. NO. No to McCain/Palin

Post this

"A regular person"

Oh, good. The "who would I like to have a beer with" test reemerges.

That went so well last time.
