I'm not exactly sure what a maverick is in relationship to change, or what the precise role of a "change agent" is, in that same regards, but what I do know with certainty…change is INEVITABLE…with or without a maverick or any particular agent…. What I am most concerned with in this day and time is… who is best equipped and ready to Manage this nation's "inevitable change"? Right now my vote is for Obama….His total package IS Change…McCain himself has "to change"in order to '"Be Change"…

To Barbara: I too am an Independent from the great state of NC. I intend to cast my vote for McCain/Palin. I guess we offset each other. I was a Hillary Clinton supporter, and I cannot wait to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket.

Okay… don't you just want consider the hipocracy in her statement… McCain likes to have a trophy VP like a trophy wife…

SARAH IS SUCH A FAKE

Well she forgot to mention the tiny little detail that OBAMA IS A CHANGE AGENT. THE TOP OF the ticket. MCCIAN SUPPORTED IRAQ WAR- Obama went against his party and did not..

" Palin has largely avoided policy discussions on the campaign trail thus far,"

Sheeesh…if that isn't typical left-wing reporting. What, this is her third day on the trail?? And although she and Sen McCain had as many people watch their speeches as saw Sen Obama's, there are still plenty out there who want to know more about her.

I feel bad for Biden with law degree - will debate an ex anchor w/ a pretty face (not as beautiful as Imelda, though). She said she is a change agent who will shake Washington and fire the establishment - how ungrateful - after the GODS(Bush/Cheney/Rove) chose her to be the old man's running mate - this is what she will give in return. Mr McCain, I thought you are a maverick. Sorry, I am taking my vote. As for Ms. Sarah, she will still have many rice to eat, er salmon …..

I think its really interesting that CNN is covering McCain and Palin but have failed to mention the flag trashing that occured after the DNC. I'm sure they will, but probably just need more time to come up with a good spin.

Palin and Alaska never returned the funds for that infamous bridge to nowhere. Never returned them to the federal government.

Palin is just another politician trying to sell us lies and mistruths.

Vote Obama / Biden!!

OBAMA is a SOCIALIST. One more half-step to the LEFT and he is a Communist. Both socialists and communists are anti-American without a doubt. So, if you liberals want to vote for Obama as a change agent, then you are voting for Socialism and you are being Anti-Americans. Think about that and reconsider who and what kind of lifestyle you plan to vote for.

Scott L - you have to be kidding me! Democrats control congress but they dont have the majority enough to 1) Avoid a Republican Filibuster and 2) Avoid Georgies Veto stamp.

Get a clue!

Bravo, Sara. You are great. I wish you every success in your campaign while you have fake candidates like Barack and Biden on the other side.
Since the day you have been nominated, that is the beginning of an end to Barack/Biden. We are all with you all the way.

Excuse me??? Biden is not a change agent because of all his years in Washington, but McCain IS a change agent despite all his years in Washington???? Senator Obama is correct. The neocons think we're stupid.

Sarah - it takes a lot more than insults to be a leader. If everything that Obama and Biden propose is so bad, then I'd love to hear what you'd suggest instead. You've mocked and smeared all of the Dem's plans. So you must have a whole slate full of wonderful ideas that are much better. So let's see you go on a real interview show, and share your real ideas with us (not scripted ones!)

A pit bull without lipstick, gun tooting, animal killer, adulterer and parading her pregnant daughter in the campaign. Way to go people.. That's Sarah Palin for you!!!

Obama thought he was getting the President on a silver platter. NO WAY! Hold the Democratic control Congress for his fall.

What liberal media if there was a liberal media than more democrats would be elected president! Please did anybody not notice this before. Because if it is liberal than you guys really suck at your job!

One step at a time McPalin…you might want to absorb ALL that the campaign is going to brainwash you into saying before getting into any substance…your doing just fine in your protective bubble where you are not accountable for anything you have ever done. Sound familiar people?

A believer in American intelligence–this shouldn't even be THIS close.

Yes , I agree , Mrs. Palin , you and Jhon McCain are AGENTS OF CHANGE ! A CHANGE , back to the past , a past of war , not diplomacy , a past of confrontation , not concilliation . You are dividing your country and stoking the fires of hatred . THIS IS NOT THE TIME ! You just DON'T GET IT !! You have no vision , no Love of country, because if you did you would run a clean STRAIGHT TALK , campaign. No insults , no incredibly stupid remarks , no pandering to voters. Respect the American people , and give them what they deserve, an honest debate ABOUT ISSUES ! People are dying for it , they must have it ,they DEMAND it !!!

palin is anti-womans rights and has nothing on the the democrats on the issues you see i lost my job in august which makes me apart of the 84,000 that lost there jobs in august. I will never vote republican sarah palin , jesus christ was a community organizer and pontius pilate was a governer you are no hillary clinton!!!

The Republican spin doctors must think most american's have a 2nd grade educations. With this arguement, McCain couldn't be about change either.
The facts are clear, Jon McCain thought most about going against the rest of Republicans after George Bush and the Christian right upset him in the 2000 Election. Shortly after 2000 John McCain got over his temper tantrum and was hugged up with George Bush 95% of the time.
To the Republican bloggers…..WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE YOU WHEN MOST OF YOU VOTED FOR BUSH BECAUSE HE WAS THE CHANGE CANIDATE..THE WASHINGTON OUTSIDER…AND CHANGE ALL THE THINGS THE CLINTON'S MESSED UP LIKE JOB INCREASES, LOW UNEMPLOYMENT, AND AN ECONOMIC SURPLUS.
REPUBLICAN BLOGGERS STOP BLOGGING, BECAUSE BASED ON YOUR RECORD, YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY!!!

Quess What Hockey Mom, Neither Is McCain.

He'll Be four More Years Of Bush.

McCain did not mention anything about Veteran issues. It's easy to understand. He has no record of taking care of Veterans with proper health care and education benefits. He voted no on the new GI Bill, he voted no on extended health care of OIF Vets. This past week all the GOP wanted us to do is honor his service 40 years ago. Well, Mr. McCain and Governor Pain you both need to honor the new generation of Vets who are sick and tired of Republicans that use the troops to win votes then abandon them after there service. ENOUGH
OBAMA 08

That story about the flags is a lie.They were bundle up and placed inside bags to be taken to the next Democratic event but were stolen by a Republican hack.You people should be ashamed of your self every day for smearing and spreading lies.Oh but I forgot you are Republicans.

It's not Palin that I worry about. She is channeling. It's those whose voices she is channeling that terrifies me.

I just don't know who I am listening to. I just don't know who is pulling the strings. I any country, that is a terrifying thought.

American voters, Don't be fooled by smiles and a popularity contest, we are smarter than that. Ask tough questions, such as, When will Americans be put first instead of sending our jobs and resources overseas? Why are so many college students trying to choose professions that cannot be outsourced? What if Mr. McCain has to step down or became ill or couldn't finish his term as President. Do you really want someone who won a beauty contest, supervised hockey games trying to keep American's safe in such a dangerous world? Where did our jobs go?

This is too one-sided. Until she stops shouting insults from behind the repub fence and faces the press like a big girl, I cannot take her seriously.

Stop hiding from the Press and answer questions on your record and experience.

You won't be taken seriously until you do.

Obama called out McCain/Palin on their BS today. Obama: "They must think you're stupid." And those of you who buy McCain's and Palin's lies must be.

McCain is an agent of change: (1) he changed his position to win the Republican nomination, and (2) he just changed his campaign strategy from "experience" to "change" to win a election. These are not the changes we need!

Barbara 'the unaffiliated', i as an indepedent voter in NC made up my mind to vote for Sen. McCain this fall.

Did you know that obama stopped airing his ads in our state. he realized, his chances are as good as madonna winning sainthood.

Commentors like Scott L make me laugh. We've been losing jobs for 8 years. The Democrats have had a slight edge in Congress for the last two (a far cry from being in control!). What do you expect - an overnight Miracle because the Dems gained a few seats in 2006? Give us a break - use your brain!!!

BOY SYSTEM.

You know, they have given her a playbook scripted with bashing and slashing their way into the White House. I guess it looks better that a woman should bash and slash with no substance. A lot of grit, but no butter.

Do an actual interview Palin, if that is your real name, that is not on Fox and is not about your family!!!

You're right. You can tell a lot about a person by who they pick as a running mate. Desperation led McSame to pick you and did he make a BIG MISTAKE. Palin is wrong on the environment, her only interest being hunting more caribou and moose and DRILL, DRILL, DRILL. Her payoff to hunters who shoot wolves from planes is pathetic…. and that picture of her and her little girl in front of the bloodied animal makes me sick. If that were me at nine years old, I'd be sick at heart for days. Yuck. Go back to Alaska you right wing nut!!

This lady scares me to death. I would bet that 2 weeks ago she did not even know what Fanny May or Freddie Mack are.

Do we even know who this woman is besides a hockey mom and a pit bull????? This whole thing is absurd!!!! I feel like I am watching one big soap opera!!!! If America doesn't see that the only stability here is the Obama/Biden ticket, then we truly are stupid!

Her political approach is based on bullying her opponents in front of friendly crowds. The GOP can't make it through until November on that alone.

Biden and Obama are both good men and so is McCain.
We need change for the better, not just change.
We need to know more about the policies for issues that we care.

Keep getting under Barack America (I mean) Obama's skin

Governor Palin

PUMA 2008!

McSame, Russia called!!!!!!
They thank you for not repeating *their* "Cross in the Sand Story" recently. They appreciate you cooperation in respecting and honoring copyright laws.

Ohhhhh….did Sarah FOOL you, too about the eBay thing?

Biden seems like a decent person to me. So does Obama. Unlike McCain, they've both only been married once and I haven't heard of any rumors that either have had an affair (while McCain has admitted he's had several). Biden seems to try to be environmentally responsible and set a good example by taking a commuter train instead of driving (unlike McCain, who I heard had a 9-car motorcade go with him to buy coffee at Starbucks!).

McCain and Palin seem nasty to me, and really hypocritical.

What was it McCain said earlier in this campaign? "That's not change we can believe in."

Senator McCain and Gov. Palin: Change for the sake of change isn't enough, and I don't think America WANTS your kind of change.

She doesn't talk like any good christian woman I've ever met. Same old nasty politics that has gotten us to this point. She certainly knows how to make enemies right away. It won't be as easy to bully people in Washington as it was in Wasilla. The loudest bully on the playground is usually the biggest coward. What church is she from?

"What exactly is it the VP does'….Sarah Palin quote

"I don't know much about Iraq. I haven't been following it". …Sarah

This woman probably didn't even know who Joe Biden was. She has been cloistered in her igloo for years and knows nothing about the lower 48. Every word coming out of her mouth has been coming from someone else's mind. I frankly cannot believe how stupid John McCain thinks we are.

"She sold the jet on Ebay…..And made a PROFIT'…..John McCain
She didn't sell the jet on ebay and she lost $650,000 when a broker sold it.

Any you know she HAD to ask them what Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were.

So much crap. Please America, pay attention this time.

I don't see any unity with her! McCain said he wants to unit the parties, and she is taring down the parties on the left.

You too need to sit down and talk.. Because I will never vote Republican ever! Unless Colin Powel runs for President.!
Whats the odds of that!

Anyway, Sarah, go home back to Alaska and get your family in order
it only shows you spend more time in your office when your daughter ends up with a baby at 17

Palin is a coward. Hold a press conference! Be brave enough to answer the numerous questions about you without a filter or spin!

He is very well an agent of change. He has so much experience and can bring the change the world needs with Obama. Together it is the best ticket possible. Everything the repubs say about Obama is a lie. They just want attention.

Gov Palin - Meet the Press

I fear for our country if we choose to elect McCain/Palin! I think we are fools if we elect them.

The Republicans must think Americans are stupid since they have picked a "hockey mom" to be a hearbeat away from the presidency. As a "soccer mom", I certainly hope that we have enough sense to send McCain back to the senate and Palin back to the governor's office in Alaska!

McCain VP choice is a disgrace to women. He could have have selected a qualified and experience woman as his running mate. Instead he went with Sarah Palin who is just reading scripts and criticizing her opponents and not suggesting any substance on the issues the country faces. Why hasn't she given an interview since she's been selected?

PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."

I can't wait until she debates Biden…..lol

It is not gonna be pretty….maybe it will be pretty for Biden….

Sarah Palin is a hottie. I just wish she would keep her mouth shut.

Sarah you are so sad and has no voice of your own….taking your leads from a group of stupid people is only making you look worse than you did……

Bill, this is for you. What did gov. Palin lie about? You are an empty headed bimbo. McCain/Palin '08

Gov. Palin Appears To Be Nothing More Than A CheerLeader For The GOP.

Attack, Attack, Attack. Attack, Attack, Attack-

Scott L-Democrats may control Congress but not by a wide enough margin to accomplish anything. Do you ever stop to think why our President just added the word VETO to his vocabulary in 2006? The true agents of change are OBAMA & BIDEN! Wake up America because if we stay dormant and McCain and Sarah Plain win come November, we won't survive another 4 years.

First off McCain does not think the Government should interfere in the free market.He stated that over over.McCain HAS 133 lobbyist that work for his campaign.Most of his staff has worked for either Bush or Cheney.

DON'T BELIEVE A WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS !!!!!!!!!!!
GOOGLE ….ANNE KILKENNEY….FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BARRACUDA.

A "real news show"? You guys kill me. This is all so phony we have no real choice here. Both parties have given us feeble, unskilled candidates.

Palin is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Scott L,

How can the Dems do anything if the President vetos it?

Get a brain!

I find it despicable that anyone would use a woman to further their interests/agenda let alone a non-prospectable president who wants to carry on the war agenda. Such hate spewing is one of the reasons America is not liked well outside our borders. There will always be a group of ignorant people willing to shame others to make themselves feel better.

Empty Suit (obama) is getting desperate. He realized that a women from alaska showed him how the game is really played.

Hello?? Biden isn't running for President. BTW, Palin referred to Obama as a sambo.

This lady calls herself a DOG, is that what we need? A DOG in the White House!

OK, help me figure something out here….McCain has been quoted as saying he voted with Bush 90% of the time and where are we now? What percentage of the time did Biden vote with Bush???

OBOMA AND BIDEN HAS GOT TO STOP THIS WOMAN. SHE IS GOING TO FAR WITH ALL THE ATTACKS AND I THINK SHE IS DOING IT BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN AND SHE'S DARING ANY OF THE GUYS TO ATTACK HER BACK SO THAT SHE CAN CRY SEXISUM. MCSHAINE IS HAVING HER TO DO THIS. ITS A SHAME. OBOMA AND BIDEN ITS TIME TO ATTACK BACK NICE AND SWEET.

What can the present administration (republican) tell the american voters that they haven't told us the last eight years? Palin as a woman for change you have allowed yourself to be used by this administration. You will never be a Hillary Clinton. She has grace and style. You are a want to be. SAD! SAD! just Sad!

Quit taking the oil and minerals from Alaska. Lower 48, find your own puppet. Leave us poor Alaskans alone.

I dont know whether or not Biden is a person of Change, but I do believe he will support whatever Obama wants to support and be as a VP should be..

YOU PALIN… on the otherhand, DEFINATELY do not support change, you flipflop, that isnt change. You dont support your Runningmate in all issues. YOU have ABUSED political power , YOU Have accepted MONEY from LOBBYIST and OIL Companies!! Does that Sound like CHANGE in WASHINGTON to you???? LIars LiArs pants on FIres!!

because you have no reason to talk.
Lies, Lies, Lies are the only thing coming out of your mouth.

You are the face in front of McCain!
You didn't even support him in the beginning!
Now all of a sudden you are backing him up!
Girl you are a barbie doll!
Please Sarah, take the time to dye your hair Blonde, because you would make a good Blonde joke right now

Palin is doing a marvelous job of helping the Obama campaign. I hope that the Republican campaign doesn't sack her. With her as Republican VP candidate, Obama/Biden will continue to gain momentum.

When Sarah Palin won the race for Governor of Alaska, in a very tight race, she stated she would "not let Alaskans down" and would "not disappoint us". Well, she has done just that. Had we known more about her (and I really don't understand why we can't learn in local races the kind of information dug up on the national level), she would never have won the race of Governor. She stated she puts the State of Alaska first - really? She's left Alaska at a crucial time, to run for a position that she mocked just six weeks ago in a televised interview when she asked, "….just what does the VP really do? I'm used to being productive…". That's how important Alaska was to her. Willing to leave her productive day, for an unproductive job, just to further her political aspirations. Let's get 2 things straight: 1.) Sarah Palin will not put the "country fist", Sarah Always puts Sarah first. 2.) The polls that state she has one of the highest approval ratings for any governor, would probably reflect quite a different story as of today!!! I really wish the Media would quite touting her as a Gov. that everyone up here loves, because that's a story that is VERY RAPIDLY changing!!! And, by the way, I'm "undeclared" and I voted for Palin as our Gov., so no, I'm not just knocking her b/c I'm a democrate. I'm knocking her because she's earned it!!!!!!

YOU'RE NOT AN AGENT OF CHANGE PALIN, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A NOBODY UNTIL YOU GONE ON THE TALK SHOWS AND FACE THE REAL QUESTIONS. OBAMA, BIDEN AND MCCAIN ALL HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH THE MEDIA. UNTIL YOU DO THAT, YOU ARE A NOBODY

Palin really scares me. I could care less about the baby scandals…it's more the weird stuff that comes directly out of her mouth.

I wouldn't really call her canned statement on Freddie/Fannie 'venturing into economic policy'.

She simply made a over-simplified statement written for her by a Bush aide.

Come on guy, pull back the wool, there's nothing there.

NC isn't "supposedly" a red state, NC has proven to be a red state for a vast majority of elections past. NC is currently being reported as undecided.

For those posters who keep referring to the photo of Palin in a bikini - you should check into that story a bit more, and stop believing everything you read/see on the internet. The picture is a fake.

Palin wants us to believe that Biden can't bring change but McCain can… Last time I checked, Biden and McCain have both been fixtures in Washington for about the same length of time.

Palin was the worst choice for VP. I am sad that she thinks she can take over where Hillary left off. Her views are stupid and extreme. Hillary you need to start saying more and supporting Obama now!!!!

Palin couldn't talk her way out of a box when it comes to economic or foreign policies. The woman is having to be schooled right now by McCain's staff with a crash course. That's frightening! Mayor of a tiny town in Alaska, and governor for less than 2 years of Alaska (the entire state of Alaska has less people than the CITY of New York or Los Angeles!).

Gov Air Head

You are no Hiliary Clinton

Obama has intelligence and backs it up. Joe Biden has experience and backs it up. McCain just want to desparately be president no matter what it takes but he knows he and his ideas are too old. The lady from Alaska has nothing more than sarcasm offer and has yet to show us anything substantial. Let her meet with the press and show us otherwise - or be quiet.

Talk about the issues Palin. Besides it's Obama who's at the top of the ticket, not Biden. Besides, McCain is a Bush clone, and you….well your his next wife…..

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU JOHN MCSAME IS NO AGENT OF CHANGE EITHER AND SO ARE YOU.

WE ALL KNOW ABOUT YOUR RECORD

BRIDGE TO NOWHERE
AND THATS WHAT U TWO ARE

How dare Paling smudge one of our most honored Politicians?

Just kidding. Biden is one of our greatest politicians in my opinion - and I find it downright funny that Palin tries to smear her lipstick on him. Biden has a cloud that can be an agent of change. That is what is his role as I see it in this election. Obama has the vision and the means.

McCain and Palin have a lot of anger tactics. McCain is a Reformed Maverick who back until about 2006 stood for a lot great things as far as I am concerned. But now he is back in the fold (why did he not dare to go with his first choice VP's?). Nothing Maverick about McCain anymore - and I don't even see any reason to waste words on Palin - but the word: populist. Her record and need to claim one lie upon another surely speaks for itself.

PS: Tainopower, 'the flag story' is another smear.

Palin, you wouldn't know change if it hit you in the face. Little by little the truth about you is starting to trickle out of Alaska. Soon it will be a raging river and everyone will know what a horrible and ridiculous choice McCain made. You couldn't even run a town of 5k. you had to hire an administrator to do it for you. McCain won't even let you campaign on your own or mee with the media, because they know what a joke you are. All in good time the truth will come out.

Come out, come out wherever you are, Palin, and face the real press. What are you, besides a mouthpiece for Republican talking points? You're a wind-up Caribou Barbie, that's what. You make me sick. Joe Biden is something you will never be–a statesman. Go back to Alaska and wreck your state with Arctic drilling. We don't need your reactionary ideas here in the lower 48.

Obama-Biden 08

Scott L,

How long have the dems controlled Congress? What, 2 years? How are they supposed to clean up 6 years of republican bs in 2 years? You voted for Bush, huh? And now you're trying to blame the people who did not want him in office. Please educate yourselves people.

Quit taking our oil and minerials from Alaska. Lower 48 find your own.
Leave us poor Alaskans alone

what is the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom?

Nothing, they're twins.

What A Dumb Remark.

Now I Know Why The GOP Are Afraid And Don't Want Her To Talk To Reporters.

McCain has been in Washington for decades Palin.

They Tutored Her A Little On Economics I See.

No funding for domestic violence shelter, workplace facilities for breastfeeding, health services for low income women and children.

Obama - Biden is not change, Black is white, Republicans are good for our economy, Bush has never lied, Saddam Husein attacked the world trade centers, The US does not torture, Republicans in congress are not philibustering….

It must be opposite day for the Mcain - Palin team!

Give me a break, I can't believe a word from either of the Republican's cadidates mouths. Unfortunately, the more they speak, the deeper the hole they dig.

Obama - Biden 08 = The real agents of change, hope and prosperity for ALL of us!

She's a nutcase!!!

Palin = Rightwing extremist just like George W. Bush

McCain wants to hide her background and keep her scripted. Americans are smarter than this. Sorry McBush, we ain't buying this sneaky shady candidate.

Why is it that so many of Obama supporters were trashing Hillary and calling her the B word and wanted her to just go away now want her to come and save them from Sarah Palin?

Palin is frightening. And those supporting her are even more scary. How can anyone in their right mind want someone like this in charge of anything? She is a moron, pure and simple.

She is on tape saying "i dont even know what a VP does" this is who McCain wants to run NASA? this country is rotting away if people think she is smart, and should be in charge of anything. can barely even manager her family (who btw, is ok to make a CHOICE about her baby, but they dont want anyone else to be allowed to make the same CHOICE…hippocrite).

"she is close to russia, that makes her experienced" hmm, there are millions of ppl in the northern states, I guess they are just as qualified since they are close to canada….give me a break, saying she is close to Russia as an excuse for creditibility is ridiculous. wake up people…

Palin is an epitome of stupidity,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,an insult to women,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and one of the confused republicans………….if you want to give us some red meat then tell us what you stand for and what your policies are

What has Obama ever done to suggest he represents change? He played the Chicago politics game for years and hung-out with some of the most unsavory characters this city has to offer. More importantly, he has never crossed party lines once on any issues of substances — that's how you become ranked as the most liberal senator in America. Lastly, don't you find it amusing that he is battling Sarah Palin on the experience issue and not McCain, his primary competition at the top of the ticket? The country is growing increasingly tired of Obama's speeches and empty promises, and it's starting to reflect in the poll numbers.

Palin is an imposter. She's trying to claim that she is a reformer when she's used lobbyist and earmarks and abuse of power to advance her own agenda.

If she's as experienced as the McCain camp states then she'd be talking to the media and voters in a diologue so we could get to know her. They havn't figured out how to spin her flip flops and typical politics yet so they are keeping her off limits.

She gives women a bad name.

Republicans say they will shake up washington….Bush administration has already shook up washington and america and shelled out every penny they could….

How much more shaking can america handle?

You guys need Obama…(I'm not sure about biden, but he comes as a package)….

When I read these blogs, it seems that the commentors know more about this woman than the media does (or is willing to report)

Way to go, America!

Niether Are You, You Fraud.
Obama/Biden 08′

So Sarah Palin should eagerly embrace the same liberal, biased press-corps that up until a couple of days ago smeared her relentlessly about her family? She doesn't owe the liberal media ANYTHING

Are you kidding me? Palin has absolutely no business criticizing Biden. She has no business criticizing Obama. I'm still trying to fathom how she can even have her name on the same ballot in november with the likes of Obama, Biden and McCain.

And yes I just gave McCain a compliment…

GO BOJO '08

"No Way, No How, No McCain-Palin" — Senator Clinton

To Scott L (and your many other aliases):

1. Stop using all capitals
2. Stop using dashes (you look very foolish)
3. You act like the Democratic Congress that has been in office for less than 2 years is responsible for all economic messes. Let me "learn" you something — the Republicans controlled Congress for 12 years from 1994 - 2006. From 2000 until now, our economy has started to falter in a big way. So that is 6 years that the Republicans had control with a Republican President.
4. And you want to know why the Democratic Congress can't get anything done. It is because they don't have a super-majority to avoid the constant filibuster and veto threats that come their way.

So you can stop posting the same tired lines now. Thank you.

Why is it I can't beleive a word this woman, Palin, says? She's all for blasting the oposition but she says nothing on the issues. I would be scare to death if perhaps she were to become the head of our great nation, if God forbid something happen to John McCain! I hope people think on that. I really don't think the woman can be trusted.

You go Hillary - teach her what diplomacy and decorum mean. Just a tidbit of information from NC (supposedly a red state)

Registered voters in NC as of 9/6/2008

Democratic: 2,689,359 Republican: 1,941,651 Libertarian: 923 Unaffiliated: 1,301,921 Total: 5,933,854

I'm one of the unaffiliated that will go DEM this year. The repubs would have to get ALL repubs and more than half of the Unaffiliated. Think that is likely?

Mrs. Plain, doesn't seem to represent what women really want. Her ideas from what I have read will send women backwards not forwards.

Mrs. Palin, you lied sofar about all your stories, america can't afford you as a VP or president (if you should have that in mind)

You are done
Sarah will your lies, finnito - kaputt ok?

Your dream is over.

Have a nice trip back to alaska.

Why is Palin not meeting with reporters? I would like to hear about ideas on substative issues and CEASE belittling. I, as a voter, am tired of listening to her attack the democrats.

No he is not a change agent, but he isn't a political gimmick either.

What shaking up has she done in Alaska, sold a plane on E-Bay for a profit?, which is a lie anyway, she sold it to one of her biggest campaign distributors at a loss, that is corruption not shakeup, the entire rethuglican party is full of Lobbyist. They want to privatise everything, Health, Social Security, next up Police Departments, can you imagine private police, they only serve you if you pay up. Eight is enough.

I bet the Washington crowd is shaking in their loafers at the thought of a podunk mayor with a bad attitude telling them what they are going to do….Where is Bill Clinton with his fairytale line?

If she's so smart, why won't she come out and face the press?

According to McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds,"Gov. Palin was fully vetted as previously described and we are no longer commenting on the vetting process, She was selected, is qualified and is ready to serve."

Apparently being "ready to serve" doesn't mean answering questions and defending her record and positions and the party platform.

So let me get this straight:

McCain has been in Washington for decades but he's an agent of change. Biden has been there for just as long, but he can't possibly do it.

Palin has more experience than everyone as Governor of the 47th least populous state in America

Palin can bring real change with her extreme right-wing views but Obama cannot. She gives good speeches and should be praised but when Obama does it it's just a cloud of rhetoric.

My head hurts from all the spinning. It's like the Republicans are trying to mirror the Obama campaign completely.

uh-oh…I think I've been Pois…….

Yes 12,000 flag that the democrats throw in the trash during there convention .and McCain save them

Yeah…you're right, he's not. Which why I'm not supporting him, my boy…

Let's get serious. Palin was told to say something about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. She just didn't intelligently come up with that off the cuff. This is horrible because the McCain campaign is trying to make Palin this person with broad national and foreign knowledge when in reality all of this is scripted stuff. I really hope the people understand that.

Did she really just make this argument WHILE running as McSames VP?
Momma always said "stupid is as stupid does"

I can't wait for a debate between Biden and Palin. Biden will nail
that soccer mom to the wall.

SARAH PALIN IS RIGHT!!!!! OBAMA IS A HYPOCRITE

DEMOCRATS — CONTROL — CONGRESS

JOB — LOSSES — UP — 6.1%

HOLD — DEMOCRATS — ACCOUNTABLE

Palin is the personification of vapidity.

Clearly all McCain had to say to the media was "back off" and they were all too willing to do so. (So much for the "liberal media.") Since the mainstream media isn't going to mention anything like, say, the Palin team trying their hardest now to thwart the Troopergate investigation, why doesn't somebody in the general public start a petition (there are many sites online to do this) that Palin actually go on a REAL news interview show (NOT on Fox!) where she will have to answer questions, not read from a script?
