CNN

Why did Palin cut her budget on Special Needs chidren? Why does she tell so many lies? Why does Palin have a spokesperson? Why can't she talk? Why did Palin charges the residents in Alaska for her personal trips? Why was Palin for the "Bridge to Nowhere? Why did Palin take lobbist money?

Vote Obama/Biden

The ones that tell the truth and the ones that can help American get back on her feet. The same old politics can't change anything.

For me as a woman. It is partly based on experience and part on her extreme views.

Everyone should be created equal. She talks about woman's rights and equality but what about her views on gay issues. She vetoed a bill for couples of same sex marriages to receive benefits. That also included people in goverment, in her own cabinet!

I don't knock her for her religious views. Everyone has a right to pray to whom they wish. When it crosses the line of racism that's where I have a problem.

I just don't feel the McCain campaign has been honest about Palin. They try to cover up everything and they won't even let her speak to the press. What in the world are they hiding? Why? If she is up front as they claim then why isn't she speaking to us apart from prewritten speeches? She says she won't speak unless she is being treated fairly. She needs to clear the air that way all these "rumors" will be answered and stopped.

that's cause women are smarter than men lol. They know a viper when they see one. They see through palin's lies while the men are drooling. Obama made a mistake by not picking Hill, but palin can't compare. Palin is a blowhard just like dick cheny. I also think th at the GOP was hoping Hillary would come out swinging instead of keeping to the issues, then they could come up with their digusting accusations of Hillary beign jealous cause people think Palin is pretty and she got the vp nod. Hillary an't bitting!

It is completely legitimate to question Sarah Palin's lack of experience in any issue but drilling for oil and running for Miss Alaska. This woman is so much in her little bubble that she seems to have no idea about economy, national security, education, science, ....the list is just too long to trust her!

She thinks Iraq is God's war, wanted to ban books, voted against the bridge to nowhere after she was for it.....
She was a bunch of red meat thrown to the conservative base that has been running things for the last 8 years, and we've got to expose her for what she is.Christian Ayatollah number 2 coming to a state near you.

Men, think she looks good that's all. They have more balls than brain.
Women are realistic. Palin is not qualified, very clear and what kind of voice she has? ohh I cannot stand her voice!!!

We must not vet her like the men, she is running for Miss America beauty peagent, so why ask her questions? just look at her dressing, I bet her charm would surely disarm the likes of Putin and win us friends from around the world, What better can we ask for?

As a man with a wife and a daughter let me state the very obvious... women are far smarter than us chumps and they have the ability to see through all kinds of charades.

Palin is far worse thanBush. Men like her simply because she is a hunter. And guess what? Women are smarter than men by far: women look at issues why men consume themselves with gun rights and single issues like that. Did I mention that I am a man too?

every single republican male I know, brings up that she is a MILF, in describing why they are voting for her.

as rush said our guy is hot.

I wonder why Men in the GOP have no problem with her

That's because men think with the wrong part of their body... and everyone knows that women are smarter than men!

Plus, I think that we should be able to ask her whatever we want to ask her (within reason). If I want to know what she eats for breakfast every day, I have a right to know. My country and my family could live or die based upon this woman's decisions. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!!!

Palin is MORE experienced on the executive level than Obama and Biden put together! Do your homework folks, get informed.

As a college educated hispanic female who is pro-choice and a Republican, I will be casting my vote for McCain/Palin.

Palin is an excellent choice and the right choice, she is the future, not the same old washington that Obama's ticket represents, Obama/Biden are not the agents of change.

McCain/Palin '08/12!!

Hell yes it's fair!!! VET HER!!!! What are you guys talking about? She does not get a free ride and why should she...Dont play games MEDIA!!! THE COST IS TOO GREAT!!!

Good to see women aren't falling for McCain's gimmick.

Although Obama is an African American... he would still be just another man in the White House.

Let's put a strong, independent, and down to earth woman in the White House and really shake up Washington!

Its is fair to ask her experience...this lady is dangerous for the country its not safe....Now they stealing Obama's slogan, pls be original.
Everything coming out to that woman's mouth is pure LIE!

Obama/Biden

Well, that's a no-brainer!
Women think with their brains.Men think with their.... Oh, never mind!

I'm sorry this is a very scary looking family......................I don't care what anybody say's "she does not look like my family.....something seems very wrong with this group..................trustworthy=not, extreme=palin, anytime your extreme about anything its not good.........its just scary.....

I LOVE AMERICA BUT I QUESTION PUTTING OUR COUNTRY IN THE HANDS OF RURAL AMERICA WITH ALL OF THERE SO CALLED SMALL TOWNS VALUES.......WHAT A FREAKIN JOKE......WHAT ABOUT THE SCRECTS KEPT IN THESE SMALL TOWNS, SHOULD THEY HAVE MORE SAY JUST BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A ONE HORSE TOWN.....I THINK NOT......THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FREAK IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD.....GET A CLUE ...YOUR SMALL TIME VALUES ARE WACKED.....YOU AND YOUR VALUE HAVE ALMOST CRUSHED OUR COUNTRY LOOK AROUND......NOW YOU FOOL HAVE THE NERVE TO BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW FRAUD IN TOWN TRYING TO COMPARE HER TO OBAMA....(GET REAL)

DO ME AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY A FAVOR .....OPEN YOUR MIND,..........EVERYTHING THATS GOOD DOESN'T HAVE TO FREAKIN LOOK LIKE YOU...........................................................................................

OBAMA/PALIN8

I guess the far left media forget that Obama is their presidential candidate, not Joe Biden.

Obama has a record of non-accomplishment – even going back to his days as a community organizer ("ineffective" was the word his then supervisor said of him).

No record in the IL Senate other than to push for infanticide.

No record in the US senate.

No executive experience.

No plan.

No game.

No idea.

NOBAMA. No Way. No How.

Too bad I wasn't in the poll. This Lipstick Pitbull/Barracuda does not know dip Stick about being a VP. Wake up America.

pALIN PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH. COME OUT OF THE HIDING AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE. SAY YOUR MIND OUT AND STOP READING STATEMENTS PREPARED FOR YOU.

If Sarah Palin can't handle the tough questions from the medai (which is why the McCain campd is keeping ehr away fro them), then how in the hell is she suppose to handle a world leaders if elected, especially hostile ones like the presidetns fo Iran, North Korea, China, etc.

the ignorance of american women, especially white women who vote republican, is overwhelming. So easily led, even more easily fooled.

There isn't enough Kool-Aid on the planet to quench their thirst.

Pathetic!

It is fair to ask anything of Sarah Palin, personal or private. She is asking us to trust her to be the VP. Ding dong it, if we don't have the right, the obligation (!) to find out who she really is and not the propaganda of the RNC.

Sarah, stand up to the news conferences mikes, 'cause we got a few questions we wanna ask you, girl!

Face it folks - no matter how you shake this, Palin is not prepared or qualitfied to be VP – a heartbeat away from POTUS. The GOP reactionary base is giddy with delight now that they have a creationist, anti-choice, pro oil company, drill everywhere, disbeliever in global warming, wingnut on the ticket. Real (as in normal) thinking Republicans understand the absolute hypocracy of a McCain/Palin ticket. The GOP has been taken over by fringe elements that put hate before hope, who want to divide and conquer, and have allowed the trashing of this great country. Wake up real Republicans before it is too late!

I will cast my vote from the male side.

Sarah Palin Is all mouth and no show.

I would expect her to be an expert hog caller.

I am a republican but am not voting republican this time.

Why?

Palin is dangeroulsy inexperienced and is all drama!
She is a heartbeat away from being the President and then just imagine what will happen to the US after she is president!

Open your eyes people.. She cannot run this country. She ran a town of 6000 people!!

Sarah Palin is one the weakest Vice Presidential candidates in history. She lacks an advanced degree or professional degree, she's been Governor of a state that's not that complex to run, and was mayor of a small town half the size of DFW airport. It's amazing how many American's cannot see what is so obvious about Palin's lack of qualifications not to mention her and her husband having a baby after four children. I guess we may see another baby in the VP's mansion in a few years. By the way, I an independent and not some left leaning liberal. It's amazin

she may be a woman, but her policies don't uplift any womens issues.
there are under 1 million residents of alaska, and her governing them for a short period of time gives her enough experience to be vp, or even prez? hard to believe... how is she planning on dealing with 350 million americans, let alone the rest of the world? do you people find it comforting that the bush administration "loves" her? i don't,

I think she's cute, so I guess that's a "favorable opinion of her". BUT, I certainly don't want her to become VP! She's horribly unqualified. Everybody knows it; even her. What exactly was the question that was asked of men? "Do you like Sarah Palin?" or "Do you think Sarah Palin is honest and qualified to be VP?"

Of course it's fair to question her experience!!! To suggest or even ask if it isn't is surely showing bias towards her.

Isn't the first thing you do make sure they have the qualifications for the job? Don't you judge Biden on that as well? Yes you did, you immediately brought up his time in the Senate and Foreign Policy.

If you are even going to question whether we should be asking about her experience I have to wonder if they don't have you and others so scared you should probably step back and let someone else do the reporting. Your clearly to intimidated to do your job properly.

majority of men have allowed their sexual desires to interfere with their common sense. The proof is in the amount of affairs and the divorce rate (john mccain). Palin is like a new little puppy. She is cute and bubbly for now, but as soon as she is revealed for the dumb witted barbie doll that she is, the men will hopefully get back on track. However, true women are not impressed with her. She needs to take care of home first. Any woman who put a job before her family is dispicable. There is a proverb that says "they do not read resumes at your funeral, family is everything". Palin have proven that there is still racism in America, white america would rather vote for anyone besides a black man.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012
Clinton/?? 2016

WOMEN can see through OTHER WOMEN...... MEN are BLIND!!!! They look at the BODY while WOMEN -- look at the SOUL!!!

Keep in MIND – WOMEN also out-VOTE MEN!!!

OBADEN 2008-2016 – YES WOMEN CAN!!!

There is NO WAY these numbers are accurate! Only 23% of men have an unfavorable view of the Alaskan governor? Is CNN doing it's job to make sure voters know how mediocre (at best) a job she has done as governor? How hypocritical her statements about cutting Washington pork are? etc. etc. The list goes on with these people – WAKE UP AMERICA! Do some friggin' research. Do we really need leaders who are "cool" and "fun?" My college roommate was fun but he was also a lazy sack.

McCain is ahead by double digits!

Please try and get the Obama smoke out of your eyes and report the Real News!

America has found its voice!

McCain/Palin-08-by a Landslide!

McCain is using Palin to do what he and Liberman could not do
energize the base.He wanted Liberman and the establishment
want Palin McCain did buck his party at this point.

From the article: "Is it fair to raise questions about her experience? A majority of women say yes, but it's close; men are slightly less likely to see those questions as fair game,” CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.

Questions on experience are not fair game. Why not?

More telling is that "A majority of females polled, 55 percent, said that Palin is not qualified to serve as president."

Yet she's called a Rock Star by the so-called "liberal" media. Hmmn, showing some bias, are we?

How are doing with your crash course on world issues and foreign policies, Sarah? Suddenly its about Change and not about experience anymore. Oh, and her religious beliefs? She believes the War on Iraq is God's work and Alaska will be the safe haven after the revelation............ Lord Help us!!!!

It's a fact: sex sells. Gov.. Palin probably stokes a lot of mens' librarian fantasies.

Its because men think she is attractive.

what exactly is Palin qualified for? Pta mon. Liar of the year?

Does anybody serious believe she knows anything about the economy or foreign affairs, except what Rove spoon feeds her.

Oh come on now. You can take one look at her and understand the higher favorable ratings by men. She's no Hillary Clinton, but then again she's no Hillary Clinton...

“A majority of women say yes, but it's close; men are slightly less likely to see those questions as fair game,” CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.

Questions on experience are not fair game. That's funny.

More telling is that "A majority of females polled, 55 percent, said that Palin is not qualified to serve as president."

Yet she's called a Rock Star by the so-called "liberal" media.

Women are not so easily fooled. And let's be honest, if McCain wanted a female running mate, why did he not choose an experienced Republican woman who knows a little bit about national politics.
Additionally, women who believe in Hillary and what she stands for would not really vote for this woman. She does not stand for the same thing.

The difference is that the NOLW (national organization of liberal women) can't stand the fact that a conservative woman is going to win the race to the white house.

gotta love this utero-politics.

Maybe not men and women who are liberal democrate but the rest of us plain ordinary everyday folks LOVE HER!!!!

McSame probably figured that if his head can be so easily turned by a pretty woman–regardless her glaring lack of qualifications–so can other guys'. For the moment, that gamble is paying off, but it won't last.

Palin's popularity will be a fleeting infatuation. Once people look at her more clearly, they'll understand how dangerous she is–extremist, corrupt, and more-of-the-same.

After almost 8 years of silly statements such as:
"Bring it on",
"Mission Accomplished",
"Stuff happens",
"We go to war with the Army we have"
Do we really NEED silly statements such as:
" The difference between a hockey mon and a pitbull is LIPSTICK"

Is this the level of intelligence we expect from a VP supposed to represent the USA to the rest of the world?

It is fair to question her experience and about her family.

If Palin is going to say she has the experience to become president (when she doesn't know what the VP does) then she should stop saying that she was in the PTA. That is not experience.

When Jamie Spears had her child at 17 everyone was claming what a bad mother she has. If Palin is going run her platform on family/moral values then she needs to show it by her family being an example not the exception.

After almost 8 years of silly statements such as:

I've watched the CNN Presents over the weekend, biographing McCain and Obama. I can't help but think that somehow this show may have influenced people's opinion about the presidential nominees rather than the "Palin effect".

After watching the show, I started leaning towards McCain, where-as, before I wasn't. I felt CNN presented the two differently. They presented McCain with favourable personality traits and in a way it touched our emotions. Unlike McCain's, it presented Obama a bit more like a dry documentary: A young man trying to find himself and his place in the world and his fast rise in the political scene.

After watching them: I told myself, I wouldn't be suprised if the poll swung more to McCain's. It has. CNN's effect or Palins?

Both are good men. But I wish people would remember that issue is more important than personality. Issue impacts your life, the country and the country's relation to other global communities.

Also, people, please stop using the Lord's name in vain. Stop using God's name to further an agenda. Don't presume to know how God thinks and with whom he sides. God loves all.

It's because women look beyound the fluff at the surface. Men don't go that far. When the msm stops being frieghtened by the McCain/Palin campaign they won't be able to continue the lies. The idea of a third waive religious fanatic as the potential next president is a nightmare.

Thats because most woman know Palin is an empty suit for anything woman represent. If you asked the guys to take away the librarian fantasy they are having with this inbreed then they may get rational about where she stands and not be so quick to support her. but the GOP are just stupid anyway.

Here's another woman weighing in on these poll results: she is not fit to be my president! This has nothing to do with her gender. In fact, as a woman, I am proud of her political accomplishments. As a mother and as an American, I just don’t think she can lead this country. Does she even know the constitutional requirements for being president, or who our allies are? I seriously doubt it.

Ragan was younger than John McCain when he took office and there are reports that suggest he started showing signs of Dementia before he left office. Given McCain's age and his existing medical history and the fact that he may still be suffering from some type of mental trauma from his time as a POW, do we really want this woman in the number 2 spot? Please, please, please think about this! This is not a game! Our challenges are real very and I don't want to gamble with this woman!

Good try DEMS and media. Its not going to work.
Mc Cain and Palin will be running this country next year.

Here's how I see it...
This woman could not raise a daughter to:
a) say no
b) get the young man to marry her before bedding her down
c) go to the drugstore
d) any of the above
So she's going to help lead or lead my country...ha ha ha

She is merely on the ticket to distract voters from the real issues which McCain can not win on. And suddenly all the men that said Hillary wasn't qualified think Palin is qualified. Ironically, she has far less experience than Hillary does. Simply put, its the typical Republican Double Standards bettern known as RDS Syndrome.

If Bush was a 2 time Governor with tons of experience and still got us in this terrible mess, how dare one put in a VP candidate who for some weeks wasn't certain what the responsibilities of a VP was? It must be a combination of good judgement, intelligence, outstanding leadership capabilities, high ethical standards and right temper must be the best qualification for the job of CIC of USA!

Sorry to say McCain and Palin have absolutely ZERO, NADA NADA!!!!

Ok, I don't know about you all, but I've submitted 3 comments that havent been added. CNN please get it together

FINALLY LETS TRY TO REPORT THE NEWS ON THIS FRAUD......................................................

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Women are obviously harder to fool. Face it, real Hillary supporters aren't buying...

I am a strong supporter for Hillary however I have to say Sarah is no Hillary and if you really check her back-ground out you would see is has been lieing to all of us........Mccain thinks just because I am a women I would vote for Him wrong.........No Way No How say no to Mccain/Palin

Ah...do you think it might have something to do with Palin being an attractive, confident woman? Come on, we have to admit that this plays into it for many people. Many men admire her beauty and confidence; many women resent it...nuff said.

I'm loving this I hope McCain/Palin trounce Obama's butt. And I find it laughable that Obama is even questioning Palin's experience when he has none himself. He says that he has more experience then her because he's been running his campaign...hahahhahahaha... what a loser!!!

Hillary supporters are not going to support Palin, John McCain thinks
he has pulled a fast one by putting Palin on thr ticket. Palin mania
is going to wear off when the American people learn about her.

If the American people elect McCain then we all deserve
another 4 years of Bush.Shame on us.

Obama/Biden 08

Men and women should both be able to see that Palin is extreme right. I guess that makes her an extremist. Have you heard her in church? And you thought Rev. Wright was wrong. This chick actually thinks that Iraq is God's war. No Pale in the face Palin, it's George Bush's war. It's the war that we are in under false pretenses.

McCain/ Palin
Keep Going, Keep Going...Chang, Who Change ? Palin Change Voter mind , Every Thing, First Washington, Obama you make big mistake -No H.Clinton,No white house for you.
A Patel

Why isn't it fair to talk about Palin's experience? I mean after all she is the one who brought it up in the first place. If we don't rate the candidates on the issues then why bother to vote, just do a coin toss and see what we get. Isn't that how people voted in 2000 and now we have Bush!

WOMEN and women don't see eye-to-eye on Palin. I have nothing but body parts in common with her.

The question of qualification is fair for anyone running for the highest office of the land regardless of gender.

Nobody has any clear understanding on Palin's policies on issues that are most important to the american people. Apart from attacking obama I 'm yet to hear her talk about what she stands for beside the bridge to where and selling the jet on ebay.

As far as, fighting the old boys within her party and being an agent of change which I don't believe that for a moment . She has been is still a part of the party that has been in power for the past 8 years, surrounded and protected by the same people. She is only going to be VP if selected with no power to change anything what so ever.

The ignorance and naivete of women in America, especially white women who vote Republican, are mind-boggling.

My son and I watched Pallin's speech at the convention, and 10 minutes into the speech he turned to me and said "I like her". 10 minutes. He doesn't know a thing about her, but he likes her. So what does that tell you?

PALIN GO HOME!!!

Her politics are just slightly to the right of Attila the Hun. Are men voting with their little head? She would set women's rights back....all the way to the Dark Ages. Come ON guys....

The excitement about Palin is already wearing off.

The biggest negative for McCain is his blatantly stealing Obama's call for "Change."

Obama's is the "Change You Can Believe."

McCain's is the "Change You Cannot Believe In."

You if believe in a Republican "change" this time around it means you are very, very stupid.

"You deceived me once, shame on you, you deceived me twice, shame on me."

You should ridicule McCain's "change".

Apparently the presence of a "beautiful woman" is a big plus for men, as it did for McCain in choosing BOTH Cindy and Sarah to be by his side until death.

Men will remain "brain-dead" when it comes to making meaningful judgements about beautiful women until the end of the world.

Was it not women who FIRST pointed out that George Bush was a "fake and incompetent" leader? God bless of us– Back to the Garden of Eden where emotion rather than "intelligence" rules!!

Palin is a hypocrite. She has no business being a politician with a retarded baby who needs her. The women here in New Mexico will never vote for her.

There is a report in the Washington Post today about Palin's misuse of funds. Check it out at washingtonpost.com

There is a report in the Washington Post about Palin's misuse of funds. Check it out at washingtonpost.com

Technically, any natural born American (born on US soil) that is over 35 years of age can be president if elected. There maybe one or two other requirements that I am missing.

The point is that she fits the minimum qualifications. As for her policies, I don't know them other than she is pro-birth (against abortion and for the death penalty). Has she studied where and what science researchers should be doing? How aware is she about our military's activities (public ones like Iraq and Afghanistan)? Can she name our allies and other countries (if they like us or not)? There is too much we don't know to make her qualified for a lot of people.

You actually asked if it was fair to raise questions about her experience? Why would that question be necessary?
She is running for the VP of the United States OF COURSE IT IS FAIR. If we have sunk so low that we have to justify asking about the VP candidates experience we may really be in a situation that can never be fixed.

she is a counterfeit trying to ride on the goodwill of hillarious hillary.
SHE IS FAKE AND LACK INTEGRITY TO ASPIRE TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08.

She needs to be treated like any other candidate.
We need to know if she has the qualifications to be president.
She needs to be vetted just like McCain, Obama and Biden all do.

This isn't something new, but it is something rare. We have already had a female candidate for VP. Get over the gender crap and get down to nuts and bolts.

If you want to play with the big boys get ready for some hardball.

Let's see... Palin has more experience than Obama but she is not qualified for V.P.
Obama has less experience than Palin and he is qualified for President.
Typical Left wing rational.

As usual, women think deeper than men. We know how they think... just like John McCain.

Not surprising. She is pro-life. So liberal women hates her.

Palin is a fraud – she want's to take women's choices away from them, she is on video saying God wants a natural gas pipeline in Alaska, she is under investigation for abuse of power and now all of sudden NOT cooperating like she said she would. The list goes on and on. She is not who she says she is. The media needs to find out who this person is and why she is hiding.

Men should start listening to the women.

God has ordered the death of our troops (Sarah Palin).

We should burn books we don't like (Sarah Palin).

I can win wars (Captain McCain who NEVER made Admiral).

I don't know the economy (John McCain).

America is a nation of whiners and I hope terrorist attack America (John McCain lobbiests and supporters).

Surge, surge, surge. War, war, war. Death, death, death (John McCain).

Come on people. Don't vote for someone based on what is (or isn't) in their pants. Palin is a far-right extremist who is whoafully unqualified for the job of VP, let alone POTUS. Vote with the brain that's located in your head on top of your shoulders.

That's because most women are not blinded by female anatomy. What's next? Palin spouting that Camp David needs to become a trailer park and her polls going up again? This has become a bad, bad network comedy, with tragic results if the GOP wins.

Because women don't want to sleep with her. Stop fantasizing men, and stick to the issues.

Becareful on your comments about Gov. Palin. The polls show neither Obama or McCain can break 50% in the polls. Gov. Palin is at 63% with men and 53% with women in my opinion that is very good number. Gov. Palin also brings intangibles to the table... like energy, a second look at McCain and most importanly the conservative base. A willing mind makes a hard journey easier. Now, with the conservative base energized, they go from a sleepwalk vote for McCain to an excited vote for McCain. I think it is important to have a strong turnout and people are much more likely to turn out in large numbers if they are excited and Gov. Palin brings excitement.

She is a big joke

I just wonder what role her looks are playing especially with men.

If we're questioning whether it legitimate to question the experience of Sarah Palin in this election, the country is really in trouble. As someone has said, it's not the politicians that are the problem with the democratic electorial system, it's the voters. With an actuarial 10 percent chance that John McCain won't survive to the end of his first term (a 72 year old–possibly the oldest elected president, who has had melanoma–a frequently recurring deadly form of cancer that can show up anywhere in the body later) we certainly ought to be asking if being mayor of a town of less than 10,000 where the city manager had to come in and clean things up, has the qualifications for being President (of all things). Seems like the answer to the question of qualifications is pretty clear.

Men like her cause she's cute.

Women don't like her because she's cute.

What??? Shouldn't ask about experience !! Who is THAT stupid not to want to know about experience?

Ever since Sarah Palin was chosen as John Mccain's running mate she has been saying the same thing every day. I am tired of hearing her repeating herself on a daily basis. Is she afraid of saying the wrong thing or maybe she lacks vision on where she stands on the issues? As soon as the media sis through her policies, we will all know what she is about. I think that she exaggerates her accomplishment in Alaska and the truth will be revealed.

If you believe that Sarah Palin is going to be a champion for women's rights, I've got a bridge to nowhere I'd like to sell you.

Her experience is not the issue. The fact that the town of Wasila went into deficit on her watch is. The fact that her town has over 40 meth labs in it is. The fact that she backed the Bridge to Nowhere, then changed her mind (but kept the money) is.

Obama has it right folks. It's not experience that counts. It's judgement.

Sarah Palin is truly not qualified, because she is not mentally ready. I think if she had shown an interest and worked to position herself for VP, I might give her some consideration. If McCain was to get elected with Palin and the fact that McCain is 72, think if she had to take over his job. Would you trust her with “The Button”, 3 am??? Unfortunately Palin is picking up women votes, who supported Hillary, which means those women; do not vote for political change, they just vote for a female. How sad.
We do not need eye candy; we need to get this country back on top. It will take all Americans not a few with money. If people have to go another four years losing jobs, no food, and no homes, people will rebel and only God knows what happen next

Do really want us to believe that there is not one person that doesn't like her? I've seen you interview a lot of people and they all like her. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that the more people learn about "Caribou Barbie" – from her far-right fringe religious beliefs to her attempts to get books banned from the public library to the ongoing scandals surrounding her attempts to get her ex-brother-in-law fired – the less support she will receive.

And she and Gramps McCain will go down in flames.....

I don't know about your Polls, but everyone I talk to about Sarah Palin she is not fit to be VP and, if elected and only a heartbeat away from being President, she was absolutely the wrong choice. It demonstrates McCain's poor judgement and it also shows that McCain doesn't have the Backbone to be President because he didn't say NO! NO WAY McCAIN, NO WAY PALIN AND NO WAY REPUBS PERIOD!

has anyone but me seen this video of a young black man claiming to bristol palins babys' father.. u must see it..

Palin is more qualified to serve as PRESIDENT than Obama but she's not running for president (yet). Biden is also more qualified than Obama to serve as president. Do you think they'll "flip-flop" this one?

it's amazing just how stupid the people in this county can be, we'll be the laughing stock of the world again like we we're when we gave Bush a second term.

Maybe the men need to be less concerned about how she looks and more concerned about what she thinks.

Wake up America – this isn't a beauty contest!

According to the McCain campaign, this election is all about experience. So Palin's experience is right there in the middle of the discussion, right along with McCain, Obama and Biden.

Judgement is also on the table for all four of them. This is an election of the highest office in the land, along with the second highest. It is not sexist or racist to question someone's past or their positions.

Sorry, Sarah, but you wanted this. Be careful what you wish for.

When I see and hear Gov. Sarah Palin I see Dick Chaney and the Failed Bush Administration. This women chase powqer ar the cost of whatever and who ever...

We must examing what we see and make a choice on greed or logic..

I choose logic.. and reason...

Palin's an attractive woman, so you're gonna have plenty of women who don't like her just because of that.

I hope that all women will ultimately see through Palin's gimmick. Palin is even MORE like Bush than McCain is and I cannot begin to imagine the steps backwards women's rights would take if Palin is only a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Women have a lot at stake in this election and I hope and pray that they do not allow Palin to enter the White House.

Palin is helping the republicans because she is a white woman. It has nothing to do with her qualifications or experience. It is her race and sex.

The problem is that Palin is just about the worst thing that could ever happen to the country. She is George Bush in a skirt.

This poll confirms what I've known by dating several scores of women, single-women for the most part are all liberal. I wonder what the breakdown will be if the poll is taken by single vs married women. I bet that a higher percentage of married women would support Palin.

No, it is not unfair to question her experience. When you go to a job interview, we do not say, "For get about experience, we just want to know about your star quality". It is ridiculous that people do not care about her experience. When all the hype is gone and if they win, will we then want to know about her experience? If so, it would then be too late.

no more war
universal healthcare
pay our bills
end iraq war
vote obama 2008

what kind of question is this–can we question her experience? she could be PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, of course we should be able to! that's the dumbest question ever, and i dare someone to give a GOOD reason why we shouldn't be able to ask about it.

This just goes to show that WOMEN really are smarter than men. The women can see Palin, the men only see a "prety face". Anyone that can really listen to what she said in her, constantly repeated speach, can see that all her cute one liners were lies and now that she has said them so often she is dumb enough to start thinking they are true.

There are many women in politics that I respect and Palin is an insult to evey one of them.

Has anyone noticed the swift castration that took place on CNN last week. John McCain, a Maverick that's supposed to be tough enough to face Russia's Putin, was insulted by an interview that one of his aides faced on CNN. When McCain complained, CNN became timid. Anyone who has seen the difference in coverage, please attest to this. I want to know what you think.

Gender has nothing to do with the fact that she is a totally unqualifed, lying wingnut!

Whe little Johns take over men don't seem to use their brains well. Men supporting Palin are not thinking beyond her looks.

Palin is no Clinton. People should not be naive to vote for McCain-Palin ticket just because she is a woman.
She may not be as popular as Biden, but Biden is far more prepared and experienced than she is and she will not be able to compete at all.

Sarah Palin cheated on her husband. It's on the front page of the new National Enquirer and if you google it it's all over the internet. This woman will bring a lot of bagage to the White House.

It's amazing how this woman has come from nowhere and embraced so quickly without knowing very much about her. No doubt, the Republicans and some Democrats were desparate for their "Great White Hope" even if she lacks qualifications to be President of the United States and has extreme religious views. Many are betting that John McCain will live for the next four years. If John McCAin were to drop dead tomorrow, it would be a whole different ballgame!

Well Dah! Women don't have as favorable of an opinion because women are jealous. Women are harder than other women than men are and tend to be much more jealous.
Can you get over the experience thing? First, she's more experienced than the lead democratic candidate and if that's not enough for you, then at least McCain has twice the experience than either of the two Democratic knuckleheads.

This was expected cheap politics from CNN.
Give hopes to the democratics nominee till the end and then start changing the Polls in favor of Republicans
McCain / Palin will lead this country into a 3rd world soon
OBAMA (2008 -16)

More Rove?

McCain's team, in an effort to distract, is going to keep doing what they're doing - diverting voters and the media with a tantalizing combination of personal trivia and small lies. It doesn't matter if they're caught in them - in fact, all the better. Because they know there is no way they can win if this election is about the big truth of the Bush years.

I have read...and re-read the constitution regarding qualifications for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency.

I don't see a problem with any of the candidates–including the third in line to the throne–Nancy Pelosi.

Let the voters decide at the polls.
No matter who wins-this election will be as historical as the election of George Washington.

Why wouldn't you question her Experience you guy are the same ones question Obama experiecne for the last year and a half Cnn is Bias Bias Bias al these networks are becoming fox. Palin is a liar without experience that is not ready on day one. Obama Biden is the Clear choice in this Election Donate 10 Dollars to the Obama campaign>

Men don't mind having a numbskull point her finger at them and rant and rave about nothing. Gosh, I've been doing it for years and didn't know my husband loved it!

Vetting Palin? How about the press vet McCain? He gets a 20% rating from the Disabled Vietnam Veterans- Obama gets a 80% rating. McCain voted 27 times against veteran funding. McCain is against a 100% search of US cargo containers that enter US ports. McCain misses 63% (more than ANYONE) votes. McCain is a loser. We don't even need to talk about Palin. McCain is Bush is a different suit.

Bye!

In July, Palin said she didn't even know what a vice-president does!

This woman could be president if anything happens to McCain – he is 72 years old and not in the best health with his history of cancer.

She does have experience believing in the "end times" and rapture, though. Her Pentecostal past reveals her as a religious zealot. If she becomes president, she would have the power to go nuclear. Someone who is waiting for the rapture and end times that has that power is scary.

People need to question whether this woman should be allowed anywhere near the White House.

Why is there so much focus on Palin? I thought this was about Obama McCain?

Funny how Obama and Biden have TOTALLY lost the spotlight. Man it is great!

Obama should have picked Hillary. Even though I think Joe Biden is fully capable of leading this country if anything happened to Obama, Hillary would still have been the best choice because she knew of the inner workings of government by being the 1st lady all of those years. It will be a shame if Obama loses the election just because people wanted Hillary as his running mate. I myself am not voting this year.

America let's get a grip. We all know Biden is more qualified to be
VP. Palin has more skeltons to come out of her closet and she has
already been caught in many many lies.

Obama/Biden 08

Palin wants to be a Pitt bull, so wy is she afraid to go on talk shows ,to answer some tuff Qwestion ,she is a lout Mouth ,schow me some action ,what you going to do for the Country . not for the Republican .after allem its the republican that got us in to the mess , all over Europe the want real Change ,if Palin wants to change Washington ,she better get rid of every Body ,an start from Sratch . its a Shame that Mc Cain isent Men anaff , to run this Country withaut a Women , that tells me ,that Palin schuld take Mc Cains Place ,an run for President of the united States

Is the build up of Senator Obama losing ground in percentage points to allow the Senator to come alive when he debates Senator McCain.?After all, you can not show crushing defeat of Senator McCain unless you have some percentage to work from. Polls have been taken so long in so many ways that few believe the results are not manipulated and used as editorials. The use of polls which show a loss in power for Senator Obama appears to be used to show his debating strength and strength of his speeches by big gains following. Editorial polls should be called what they are which is editorial polls.

It's because women are focusing on healthcare, our right to choose & honesty from our politicians!

Well of course more men think she's qualified. She's remotely good-looking, and we know, unfortunately, than many men think more with the head that is NOT at the top of their neck.

Check out CNN's story 'GOP may be downplaying Palin's religious beliefs'. She belonged to a Pentacostal Church for 20 yrs where they speak in tongues. She is a religious fanatic, she does not belong in the white house. And don't forget she said and I quote, the "Iraq war was God's will..."

This is meaningless trash. This is the left Democrat hysteria mongers. Nice try but we like Sarah Palin....and...I'm a guy! Your spin is debunked!

The drip of news that comes out everyday about Palin's record will take the bloom off of her rose soon. Now it seems she has been illegally billing the State of Alaska for travel. I guess that is one way to make a little extra money.

This was John McCain's first decision as a Presidential candidate. Hope it's his last.

So it is true, man do think with their reproductive organs.

It's because guys don't think with their heads, but with the other thing! Women obviously are smarter than most GOP men. All they see is her good looks, men are truly the simplest of creatures.

I think it's great, it shows the sexist media that there is alot less sexism in the general public than there is in the studio..Real men aren't afraid of a smart, successful, articulate, and beautiful woman.

That's curious. I would have thought the poll would have it the other way around. This speaks highly of the women who were polled. At least women voters aren't blindly jumping on the Palin bandwagon simply because she's a woman. Not sure what it says about the men though...

Is anyone else running or is there only one person to be reported on now. When are you gong to start pointing out the fact that THIS WOMAN tells lies and when it is pointed out that what she said is a lie no one seems to want to know the TRUTH.

SHAME on those that let her get away with this just because she is a WOMAN

NO WAY Palin's she is a nut

Men like her for all the wrong reasons which are typical.. usually its the much older men 45 and above who hasn't had a woman in God knows when...

The younger men dont like her. And women in general dont like her

Maybe, just maybe, women are the more intelligent of our species.

I think the hockey Mom is being pimped out by big daddy little arm Mccain. They may want to speak in tongue to pray that this pimping help them into the white house. Then we need to hope that pimp daddy Mccain dont drop dead on us and then she has to run the country.

I hate to say it but I told you so.....Barak did this to himself.....Hillary Clinton is going to have the last laugh on this one.....Barak's advisors made a fatal mistake in not choosing Hillary for VP; actually she was the most qualified to be the Presidential nominee and they blew it twice....the Democratic party had this election and it was theirs to lose which is exactly what is going to happen.....

McCain – Palin ticket is change Washington D.C. better get use to. Unlike Obama-Biden which was only a flash in the pan. Nancy Pelosi said she drained the swamp to expose the corruption varmint hiding but McCain & Palin will pour cement into it so the ilk can hide no more on both sides of the isle...

If people can be excited about some conservative crackpot whom they know nothing about - though many proclaim women are smarter than that - maybe women really aren't that smart and John McCain is the genious who knew it.

McCain- "You cannot question me! I was a POW!"

Palin- "You cannot question me! I am a mommy and a woman!"

Grow up. You want to toughest job now answer some off the cuff questions and no scripted interviews!

Are you so hungry for a woman as VP that any old woman will do?

She's just another politician, with about the same experience that Bush had in 2000. And we all know how bad that has turned out.
She's Bush with lipstick.

This is a silly poll. It is the issues folks!! Most women don't like Sarah Palin because of her exrteme positions. They see past the hype because it matters to them who is on the supreme court.

Any Democrat would make a mistake to attack her personally. Her's is not "empty rhetoric. The far right calls Obama's speeches "empty rhetoric" because he is right on the issues and they have no choice. We have a choice. We should attack her extreme stands on issues while defending her against un-true attacks. That is what Barack wants. That would be change we can beleive in. Be pateint it will take a few weeks. But when this idea takes hold we will have a landslide.

To me the real issues at stake here are:

1) Obama/Biden represent a competent ticket for the presidency.

2) Republicans very much need to be booted out of the executive branch in this presidential election due to the dishonesty and dismal failure of the Bush presidency.

Biden is vastly more qualified for the vice presidency than Palin.

Sure Obama a bit short on experience, but he is a smart guy and that rare breed of an honest politician. He will surround himself with a competent cabinet and be up to speed on running this country in no time.

Republicans will pull any dirty trick in the book to win this election, so the democrats better hang tough.

I am not surprised by this report. It seems to me the most critical people of Palin have been women. I think the men like her, at least at this point because she comes across as aggressive and smart. She is an anti Hillary in some ways and for many men I know that is a plus.

It remains to be seen how that holds up if she is held to the same standards as Hillary was as she faced the heat from the press and public. For now there are a lot of contradictions in Sarah Palin that have not played out as she has been quite frankly handled with kid gloves, unlike the body slams that Hillary and Obama have taken.

Left wing women are not for choice as they advertise. I cannot believe how vicious they have been to Palin re: the 2 pregnancies. Fortunately, 2 precious lives were saved because Palin's believe in the sanctity of life. No "slaughter of the innocents" in this family!

The difference between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney? Lipstick.

A BLACK MALE, PROCLAIMED TO HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH BUT A WHITE WOMAN WITH LESS EXPERIENCE THAN THE MALE IS GOOD ENOUGH.
THIS WILL HAPPEN IN AMERICA AND NO WHERE ELSE.

I think CNN is afraid to question Sarah's experience. CNN continue to play Rev. Wright's mess over and over, but fail at keeping us abreast on the mess Sarah have done...negative. MSNBC is beating out ...The best politic team in news when it come to real news....not this useless topics.

im sorry spin palin as much as you want..palin is no clinton..and on the issues the little of the ones i know from palin..she is against abortion , healthcare, childcare, school programs..lied about her support for the bridge to no where..lied about ear marks..lied about selling that plane on ebay..lied about firing the cook..and we know almost nothing about her..but the little we do know has been lies.

As a woman, I will never vote the McCain/Palin ticket. McCain is against equal pay for women, stating that they need "education and training" instead. McCain voted against veterans funding 27 times, Palin is pro-life even in cases of incest and rape. Palin thinks that the war in Iraq is a "task from God" and they only met eachother once for 15 minutes before he picked her.

I want my President and Vice President to be grounded, wise, and honest.

This woman says no to McCain/Palin and because this comment is about the ticker post, please post this CNN. Thank you.

Well now, this is a refreshing poll.

A MAJORITY OF "MEN" VIEW "SARAH PALIN" AS A BETTER CHOICE THAN DO MOST WOMEN... hmmmm?

America has started to turn the corner, finally!

The great thing about this poll is the "over 50%" vote of confidence by the general electorate.

THIS POLL TELLS IT ALL... "CHANGE IS IN THE AIR"

Dems should go out there and fight them back on their dirty politics. They don't have time to be Mr. Nice guy anymore. Just tell them outspokenly about how america being lied to by republicans, again, and again, and again.. See how they mess the country and your lifes. Americans ARE mostly STUPID. So you MUST educate them...

Otherwise, say goodby to world leadership and prosperity. China, India, Europe, Russia, and many emerging country will be gladly to take the lead.

I'd say Obama's sinking ship is sinking fast with both men and women...AND fundraising. Should've picked Hillary!

It's amazing how you put an attractive women on the ticket and men start feeling like she has experience and even considers the attacks unfair. Where were those men when Hillary was running? Oh yeah I remember, holding up signs telling her to go home and saying they weren't going to vote for no woman. How the tides do change. Exactly proves that some men think with their little heads instead of the one that carries the brain.

Yes, it is fair game to question her about her experience........just as it would (and should) be for ANY INDIVIDUAL under scrutiny for the VP position.

The very BOTTOM LINE......the VP is the person to step into the job of PRESIDENT, if need be.

AND, since the bottom line is so very important.........WHEN WILL PALIN TALK WITH THE MEDIA..........ALL THE MEDIA? i'm sure they have lots of serious questions.

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

I detect a little bit of jealousy from the women and also from the Nobama camp. She is more qualified than Nobama is. The Nobama camp has lost its steam and the liberals are getting made cause they didn't see this coming. Get over it, jump off the Nobama boat now cause it's sinking and it will not recover.

Funny.

A very good looking pro-life candidate.

I am not surprised at these results. I am happy that men can admit a strong professional woman in power is not a bad thing.

While, some women are excited and beside themselves, because of gender. Is this about race and gender? The fact of the matter is our economy is WEAK! FANNIE and FREDDIE is unprecedent, LADIES! We need a VP that knows that FANNIE and FREDDIE WERE NOT SUPPORTED BY TAXPAYERS! THEY WERE PRIVATE OR QUASI ORGANIZATION, GOV. PALIN.

It's not surprising, as women understand reality and the mean are clearly all drooling over her.

All am saying to people who dont get it because of there personal reservations becareful what you are wishing this country, when that happens, every one will pay the prize if at all we survive it. I've never been confortable with the republican agender, I was a Hillary supporter but with this kind of tricks that are being played at the democrats am wondering if the Media is carried away by this hype.

I find it fascinating that many of the men in my family who support Sarah Palin completely change their language when speaking of Sarah Palin...all of a sudden, they are speaking of "how cute Sarah Palin is", "I just love that little woman", "I hope all those men in Washington take care of her." "I don't care what she thinks..it is just great she can shoot a rifle and kill and gut a moose." The majority of comments they make are sexist. and are not directed at her leadership qualities....These are men who have condemned all other women in high ranking political office.I think Ms. Palin is a novelty and the attraction to her as a world leader will wear off...hopefully before the election.

It still amazes me how stupid Americans can be. They are so distracted by the pretty wrapping that they are not looking inside the package. We are in so much trouble if Obama-Biden do not come put swinging or if the media does not expose the woman for what she is.

I AM HORRIFIED TO THINK THIS WOMAN MAY BE THE PRESIDENT IF MACAIN DIES IN OFFICE. I AM EVEN MORE AFRAID THAT SHE WILL SPEND ALL HER TIME LOOKING FOR WAYS TO GET RID OF THE OLD MAN. AFTERALL HER STRENGTH SEEMS TO BE GETTING RID OF ANYONE THAT GETS IN HER WAY TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS. IF SHE GETS AWAY WITH SKIPPING RIGHT INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK FOR IT FOR THE LAST 19 MONTHS LIKE OBAMA THIS COUNTRY IS TRULY UPSIDE DOWN FOLKS. SHE AND JOHN MACAIN WANT TO "DRAIN THE SWAMP" SO DOES THAT MEAN THE LITTLE PEOPLE OUT HERE TRYING TO PAY BILLS SEND OUR KIDS TO COLLEGE AND KEEP A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS DON'T MATTER TO THEM? ALL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IS WASHINGTON!

I have a family and to trust Palin I need to know more! I don'nt feel like Palin is qualified to be VP with so little governing experience and we the American people really don'nt know how Sarah Palin thinks the Mccain Camp is keepong her away form the media! We the people have a right to know who is she!!! and what are views on the issues that concerns the lives of the American people!! The Republicans party I suggest that everyone need to step a step back and look at and examine Sarah Palin and may I make anoher suggest I caustion everyone to go slow the American people lives is at stake and thier future.

Palin's past and her beliefs do not go 'hand in hand" with getting this great USA back on track for helping those that need it most and not giving handout to those who need it least. She feels free to use Alaskans money for stuffing her vouchers.

She looks like another "pit bull Cheney", but maybe in Alaska she would be called a "moose loose Palin".

I am truly scared for the future of this once glorious country of ours.

They are Liars including her!! She did TRY to ban books and then TRIED to fire the Librairan. She is POwer Hungry!

If McCain and Palin are in White House.. I am moving to Austrialia!! Because I know in my heart that American will go down the tubes!!

It truly amazes me as to what the Republican candidate John McCain will stoop to to win. Realize this pair will not bring about any change in Washington, even though she is a maverick in her own state, McCain sold himself to get on the Republican ticket, how quick we forget from Independent to Republican, unbelievable. How quick we forget how often John McCain votes with President Bush. If the American people believe this hogwash, they deserve to live another 4 years under the rule of that pair.

I think in this case, women are seeing with their eyes and thinking with their brains. Men, not so much.

I just don't see how anyone could support Palin as VP. Are the men simply looking are Palin because she is attractive ?. I have nothing against a woman being on the ticket, but I would feel much better knowing she was a woman with foriegn affairs experience. Should something happen to McCain she will be stepping up to lead the country. I just can't see Palin going head to head with the likes of Putin or Ahmadineajad (sp). I know people will ask what experience does Obama have in foreign affairs ?. Well, what experience did Bush have?. Either way, Obama will have Biden there to seek advice from, and we know Biden does have the experience. Will McCain be able to ask Palin for her advice concerning foriegn affairs ?.
Nothing wrong with a woman being on the ticket, but pick someone that doesn't scare us with her views.

Here is someone who is under a criminal investagation and
you the media are giving her a free ride.I cant believe it. Thats why
this country is in the shape its in.Why dont you go after her in a big way ?You wont post this anyway..

I do not trust her. She is more conservative than Bush/Cheney and ha weird religious beliefs. Also, with a infant that has DS, I am scratching my head wondering why she does not want to stay home with him. He needs her.

I've noticed that the polls seem to show the opinions of WHITE people only. The rest of us do not count!!

Men and women should question the experience of any candidate who
is seeking the position of the highest office of the land. Put Obama's
ivy league concentration on international relations in college, and Joe Biden's foreign relation's chairman experience against John McCain's POW ordeal and Sara Palin admitedly having absolutely no knowledge or
interest in foreign policy (BA in journalism?). That would mean Sara
Palin has no qualifications whatsoever for entitlement to the second highest office in the land. Lipstick doesn't count.

Honestly, the poll makes sense. The majority of women who were for Hillary feel let down and downright insulted at the prospect of this limited-experienced woman to suddenly be thrust into the limelight as a prodegy of HC herself? No, just no.

Hillary Clinton made a name for herself. She has the experience and credentials to back her up, and that makes her an extraordinary female politician. Sarah Palin on the other hand, while outwardly charismatic and attractive, maintains no substance and no record even COMPARABLE to HC's.

The choice is clear; if the American public is wise enough to open their eyes and see that a McCain-Palin ticket would just be a continuation of Bush's FAILED policies, they will vote smart and vote for Obama & Biden. They are a dynamic duo who will bring the country forward, and not backward like McCain and Palin will do.

Sarah Palin has already proven herself a liar

She seems incapable of speaking for herself

How can this Barbie doll be ready on day one

She will never be ready, she's just McCains, cut out paper puppet

Anyone that votes for her, would have to have no concern for the direction of this country

John was better off with Mitt Romney on his ticket, as bad as Romney is

Apparently the Rethugs are right...this appears to be an election about the Hot Mama VP and not the issues! I hope all those guys get their heads on right before November....Lord Help us if the Rethugs win this one. Remember, there is no whinning after the election, we're stuck with the results for four long and miserable years.

I certainly don't have a favorable opinion of her. I used to belong to her church. The key phrase being "used to."

That church made me convert to Buddhism.

It's because men are thinking with their you know what!

WITH DUE RESPECT TO ALL
THIS IS FOR PALIN
GOD DON'T SENT PEOPLE TO WAR, IDIOTS AND MORONS DO.
GOD DON'T GIVE BRIDGE, MONEY AND PEOPLE DO.
HOW ABOUT ASK YOUR GOD TO HAVE THE SHIITES, SUNNIS AND CURDS TO KISS AND MAKE UP, NOT TO HATE US. IRAN TO LOVE US AGAIN.
RELIGIONS GOT NO PLACE IN POLITICS OR ANYWHERE ELSE BUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL.
IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO YOUR BELIEF, BUT DON'T FORGET THAT NOT EVERYONE AGREES WITH YOU OR YOUR BELIEF.
KEEP IT TO YOUR SELF, RESPECT OTHERS TOO.
BETTER YET, IF GOD OS SO HIGH AND MIGHTY, I DON'T THINK IT'S UNREASONABLE TO ASK YOU ALL TO INTRODUCE HIM TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH " IN FLESH AND BLOOD".
WE SURE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR HIM
THANK YOU ALL
LEWIS

I'm so excited about John and Sarah! I just ordered a Yard Sign for my parents in Washington State (where polls show Obama down to a 4 point lead from double digets a month ago!) I also ordered me a sign to hang in my garage next to my Hillary sign!

They are the team this country needs to go forward! No Obama no Biden...to bad Obama didn't pick Clinton....

McCain 08, Palin 12!!!

There needs to be more coverage on her extreme church views.

Why isn't the affair being reported?

I guess we better takes lessons speaking in "tongues" so we can understand her if she is VP and starts writhing around the White House among the snakes.

If, God forbid, McCain died before the election, could / would independent voters feel comfortable electing VP nominee Sarah Palin to the office of President?

If, God forbid, Obama died before the election, could / would Independent voters feel comfortable electing VP nominee Joe Biden to the office of President?

If the answer is YES to one but NO to the other ... doesn't that tell you something important about which ticket to vote for as you put COUNTRY FIRST?

We must use our heads.

I don't have a favorable opinion of her. Who are these people being polled?

Women are extremely jealous,,,hence the term "catfight!" She is too good-looking for women to support.
Men love a beautiful woman with brains.

Palin kick up some dust, but it's starting to settle now.

faithgate
Bridgegate
troopergate
liegate

Duh.

The media were real suckers.

That's just 'cause women see Bodine...er...Palin, for what she is: a coniving bee-ach!!

Yee Haw!! McClampett-Bodine '08!!

Levi...LEVI!! Get on outta that cee-ment pond and take care of this kid!!

Yee Haw!!

Independent Voters ....

Please Goggle the name of ....

Anne Kilkenny

... for a fairly even handed profile on Sarah Palin and then make up your own mind. Take this in concert with other research / facts you come across.

Share with your friends.

Palin is no more qualified to serve as VP, or possibly President, than I am

One thing the Republicans count on is the ignorance and apathy of teh American people. Seems they are correct. Goes to prove taht americans are the most apathetic, lazy, whiny, ignorant people on the planet.

As a working mother, count me in the group that is ecstatic about Palin. I would be interested to see the demographic makeup of the type woman that is not supportive of Sarah. This is a new day and a new type professional woman and I say about time!

Just goes to show you that most men think with the wrong head.

Pathetic!

Of course, Senator Biden is more qualified than Sarah Palin.........

I think John McCain made a political choice, to bring some energy to his campiagn, and unfortunately he brought a lot of questions about Sarah Palin and more importantly about himself and his judgement.

He is a 72 year old , four time cancer surviror, he carries such a high risk of recurrence of cancer that I believe his decision was irresponsible and inexcusable. Although the conservative base is energized, I cannot believe that others in his party are nervous at the prospects of the huge possibility that this runing mate could become president.

CNN stop belittling thepositive effect that Palin has on the race to the White House.

She has changed the dynamics of the race no matter how irrelevant you want us to believe she is. Shame on the elite media.

Governor Sarah Palin is more experienced than Obama, and Obama is at the top of the democratic ticket. Obama is a freshman Senator in the U.S. Congress for 3 years, and he has spent most of that time running for President. Governor Palin was a mayor and governor; Ironically, she is the only one on either ticket with executive experience.

Wow, Americans are even more stupid that I thought.

Please start asking her the tough quesitons.

I am tired of tabliod journalism. When Senator Obama held a round table with 15 govenors, the subject was a two hour discussion on how to rebuilt our econmy with jobs in "Alternative Energy" and Infrastructure. What did everyone report...that Obama's symbol was too preisdential.

Do your jobs! I am not a low information voter this year. I do my own research but most do not. They count on you. What happened to the CNN that I used to know.

I called your offices yesterday in tears...NBC and ABC will get calls from me today too.

This Woman feels Palin is just as qualified if not MORE than Obama.

Gov. Palin has proven to be a breath of fresh air. Finally we have someone on a Presidential ticket who ACTUALLY represents the average American.

Go Palin!
