CNN

Well she did lie a few times in the interview yesterday, she did flip flop on the Environmental issue, and maybe Obama should have chose the Governor of Michigan as his running mate since her foriegn policy would be validated by looking out her window to Canada. Really, Ms. Palin attacked Obama shamelessly as all the speakers did: They ridiculed millions of people who take Community seriously, the rich Multimillionares ($5 million crowd) that makes up the GOP (Grand Out of touch Party) real interesting how the past week has went, when thousands lost their jobs, and with those jobs health insurance, and stability of living right when kids are going off to college...

NO! The the only campaign that is disrespectful is McCain/Palin. They disort the truth, they mock service and they are hypocritical. They twist reality to fit their needs. They actually think people are studpid. I thought she did horrible last night in her "first' national interview. She has two weeks "to learn" how to be a VP and she failed miserably. The nerve of these people to say that she has foreign policy experience because she lives next to Russia.. Give me a break! I noticed the news has not covered her failed interview indepth!

Go Obama/Biden..

I am so bored of the Republicans talking about anything but an issue that helps our troubled economy or gets our soldiers out of harm's way.
When you have a weak platform to run on all you can say is...'hey Bif look over there what is that' and pray that the fools look! It is like a Back to the Future movie but without the fun.

Keeping my eye on the ball,
Obama/Biden in 08!

"You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." JC

Stick to the truth about McCain and all else will fade away.

Trust the American voters to also know the truth and vote accordingly.

Hillary now Obama 08

While mccain is lying and fact checking Obama he really need to fact
check himself. Some of the lies that he is telling is so flat faced and
sick I cant see how he could put his name on them this is a shame
and the churches are trying to get a legal right to endorse this stuff
this is unbelieveable these people are going to far.
If this man wins we as americans are in big trouble.

Famous philosopher once said:

"Never deal with idiots. In order to do so, you must stoop to their level. and at that level, they'll beat you every time"

But who listens to philosophers? GO OBAMA!!!!

The ironic thing is that Palin is not that good looking. She hit the "wall" some time ago. Maybe she's hot in Alaska where there are not that many women.

Folks,

Please do not be fooled by the current Republicans Politicians. They will destroy the country. If you do not like Barak Obama then just vote independent vote anything but the Republicans. Its is a partly not run by honest people. The crooks have infiltrated this party and totally tarnished the reputation of honest republicans.

Everyone saying Palin '08 and Hillary '12, are you serious? Do you really think that Hillary will have a chance in 2012 or 2016 if Palin is seen as the incumbant? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.....sheez.

Obama/Biden 08'
Clinton/Sebelius 16'

I saw the interview last night and she failed. Sara Palin does not have foreign policy experience to deal with the world leaders. The republicans will try like heck to spin this that she hailed her own. The facts are the facts and she did not. When will the news media hold these people accountable for answering the questions that are asked? John McCain did and interview yesterday, please see "Huffington Post" for results. McCain was asked how does S.P. foreign policy experience make her ready to be presidend? He responded with, S.P. has a lot of knowlede on energy. He kept spinning this B.S. over and over. When are we going to get some real question and answers? Any one who is of draft age better be wary of a McCain/Palin adminitration. You will be going to WAR before you even know it.

Did you guys see the so-called 'interview" of sarah the liar last night...what a joke. Charles Gibson was not tough at all, or atleast did not ask the right questions. The bookgate/troopergate/fill in the blank gate is what I wanted him to focus on. She was a very bad pick in my view, but hey who the heck am I, right!!

I am so disgusted with how my fellow Americans are falling yet again for the lies, smoke, and mirrors the Republican machine is throwing at them. This is the same tactic that Bush used in his elections. I guess policy isn’t the only thing McCain mirrors Bush on. Why is every time we have an intelligent, clear thinking, honest and correct policy wielding person running we go into the voting booth with brain damage and vote for the other person. I just don’t understand why. As a former President said “How many times do you have to get hit over the head with a hammer before you realize who is hitting you?” Enough! Its one thing to vote because you understand both candidates’ policies and agree more with the other. However, to vote without any understanding or knowledge and only just lies, TV ads, and misinformation is a severe punch to the gut to anyone who has ever served or died to protect one of the most pure and powerful of our rights as Americans. I say this through the eyes of a veteran, blue collar worker, now college graduate, and partner in a small startup business. We are facing without a doubt some of the toughest times in our American history and you have to decide, do we move forward or go backwards, Do we care about what our nation will be ten years from now, For the first time in a long time I fear that our children will be left worse off than our parents left us. That scares me as a strong patriot.

John "I was a POW" McCain when will you stop with the negative ads and come up with a plan on how you will get this country back on the right track or are you really just for more years of Bush.

I am gravely sickened that almost everyone, commentators and voters alike think that Obama has to "attack" McSame to reclaim his credibility.... as a mother of an impressionable 11 yr. old , there is something very wrong with that premise.

Are we really saying that the only way to elect a President in this nation is to go into nasty, negative, attack-style politics? That is very troubling. The highest position in the land and the process is about attacking and belittling your opponent in the nastiest ways?

The media commentators are "egging" this on to the point where the public is thinking Obama will not appear qualified unless he joins McSame in the gutter.

Let me say this, if that is how we elect our President... AMERICA DOES NOT DESERVE ANY MAN OR WOMAN OF INTEGRITY TO LEAD THIS NATION.

We will remain stuck in the cyle of choosing people who will continually lie and deceive us as President. It's a simple case of... getting what we ask for....

this is a shameful day in America.

Funny how last night at the FORUM McCain suggested that negative campaigns could have been AVOIDED if Obama accepted his offer of weekly town hall meetings.

Could we please all stop lowering ourselves to the Karl Rove method of smear attacks. It gets us no where. Our country deserves better. Was yesterday just a facade? Stop acting like unruly children on the playground and start acting like adults.

If anyone is desperate..It's definitely the Obama Campaign...It's definitely not like them to throw so much attacks out in such a short period of time..especially when most of them are directed to Sarah Palin.
So let's see...
Ever since Sarah Palin joined Mccain, the polls have been in his favor
and Obama is realizing that this will actually be a REAL race...so much for thinking that the american people would just hand you the job of president because he keeps yelling Change!
I want change, but he is not the kind of change i want, He spent his 2 yrs in washington running for president. I have to admitt that i didn't know who the man was until i heard he was running for president..so much for bringing change, he obviously wasn't fighting that hard for it. If he becomes president, he'll probably spend those 4 yrs yelling change all over again, running for a second term and in the end not bringing any new change....
If he wants change...Sarah Palin is change...

Finally, someone even mentions the fact that at the RNC people were wearing very sexist buttons..."McCain and the HOT CHICK...please don't scream sexism now..it will backfire...

What a disgrace? Sarah Palin bombed that interview. She tried to fudge her way through the questions and barraged the viewers with meaniless words. She is not very smart, and she showed it on national television to millions of voters. She is being used by John McShame to get women votes, but her stupidity have just lost her vote from me. She was like a kid in school trying to come up with the right answers. Sarah Palin is not smarter than a fifth grader, and neither is grandma McShame. Mrs. Palin, please don't compare yourself to Hillary Clinton and her ivery league education. She didn't go to 5 schools in 6 years, and she knows foreign policy. You can't crack the 18 million voters ceilling, you are not smart enough. You are being used by the rePUBICS, and your dirty laundry will be aired–Troopergate, lies, and please remember every idle word you have said will come back to haunt.

She is a liar. And how about CNN report on the Troopergate scandal and how Palin abused her power. It is pretty clear she is guilty in the fact that she is now trying to cover it up and won't cooperate like she said she would.

Palin also will not release a mound of emails that she is being accused of campaigning from her official computer citing EXECUTIVE PRIVELAGE. Sound familiar? Yes, Bush and Cheney have cited that same privelage more than any other President in history. The problem is that Todd Palin, not a government official, was copied on many of those emails she will not release. Do we really want another 4 years of this?

American Airman: John McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time. THAT is why his experience in Washington is not good experience. Joe Biden has been in Washington for a long time but has been on the RIGHT side of those failed Republican policies.

Obama is an empty suit. He is a rookie wimp!
Biden has a son that is a Washington LOBBIEST.
Sarah and John will work to get rid of the scum-bag lobbiest culture that has turned me OFF to federal corrupt government.

McCain Palin 08

Its sad to see Palin not getting any negative flap for being a celebrity, I guess its because she is a white woman! Its also sad to see a socalled religious person make up stuff on another person, knowing because she and Mccain is white, that white people tend to believe each other's facts even if they haven't been checked out. Especially, if its on an African American or other minority. All we have to do is look at how many minoritied have been falsely accused and got exonerated by DNA or prejudged just because of black stereotype. They can make up stuff and say anything and not back it up factually, because they know they are speaking to majority white population, who will believe them over Barack Obama anyday! I also am sick of hearing about Barack Obama’s not admitting the surge is working or has worked! The fact is John McCain voted for the Iraq War which has cost Americans a trillion dollars. Does John McCain take credit for the trillion dollars in debt, or our failing economy, caving infrastructure, diminished reputation around the world and the American dollar’s down turn? Well, I think Barack Obama saying the surge has worked is a good thing , and I also think John McCain’s persistence in claiming credit for the his and his party’s hoping for deliverance from the deep trench the Iraq war and their worst politically charged judgment decision of the century is obviously an act of desperation! Then during the republican convention they laugh at Barack Obama’s humble beginnings as a community organizer, which I think was another tragic mistake in judgment. When they laugh, they were laughing at Martin Luther King Jr. (whose holiday McCain voted against), C. Chavez, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, Fredrick Douglas, Eleanor Roosevelt and many more Americans who weren’t elitest or looked down on the poor! They will not hesitate to do anything!

During her interview with Charlie Gibson, he asked her about Georgia. Didn't she immediately state that she had "already spoken" to the Georgian President and had given him promises of support?

Palin has already been setting US foreign policy with a foreign leader before she describes what her policy is to the American people? Actually, no. We already know "where she stands" on Georgia because her stance would now be in line with whatever McCain's stance is.

Why is any presidential candidate speaking privately to foreign leaders about a current crisis? Isn't that pre-empting the White House?

Ah...just forget about both of them, folks...Listen to Ron Paul and vote 3rd party now!

Baldwin/Castle 08
http://www.baldwin08.com

Disrespecting the elderly Mr. Bama? How bad...first women, now the elder, you have no shame at all?

This man has been CANDIDATE his hole life. Oh! ím wrong! Candidate AND "comunity organizer"(what?).

We can afford such king of issued person on the white house. Obama is a sicko. Unprepared, not ready, unfit do lead.

MCCAIN-PALIN!

I agree with Jim, McCain is a wimp for hiding behind a woman, I would like to see the RNC quit protecting her like she is on the indangered species list.

Palin will have us at war with every body. She is already calling out other Super Power's and threatining war as the first option. Palin was wrong for that just because of the tone used to make that point about Russia. Palin will continue the wars we are in already and while we are obviously stretched out Palin is courting a conflict with Russia. I am a war veteran ex Marine, so know I believe in protecting this Great Country, but I am smart enough to know that WORDS can start a war or conflict. Palin just showed us the TACT, or lack thereof, she will use if she gets the chance to. Palin uses bad judgments as shown in the way she fired that guy because the guy would not fire Palin's brother in law. Palin gives me a bad vibe. McCain is just another W. Bush and McCain's pick of Palin shows the bad judgements he will continue to use if given the chance. We can not let that happen. We the people deserve better, we deserve a leader who is smart, caring and strong enough with the right temperment to lead us in this globally connected world. People are mad at America because of all of the tough talk to people Palin didn't even take the time to get to know before hand. Palin does not even know what the Bush doctorins are. And Palin is calling out Russia! Palin does not understand all of the things that goes into the job she is applying for. And we will be the ones to pay for Palin's lack of knowledge. We need a leader will be willing to sit down with other leaders first before we have to go to war with them. Obama is that kind of leader! The needs we have and the needs of the people in this world our too great for us not to take advantage of the best candidate available. We do not have time to live in the prejudices of yesterday, we need to act on electing Barack Obama! If we take great action and elect a great man (Barack Obama), we will get great results. Vote for Obama 08 and 2012.

I thought it was particularly interesting when McCain justified lying repeatedly to the American people because Obama wouldn't hold town hall meetings with him. By that logic, what will McCain do when some world leader cancels a meeting or decides to change their mind?

Also, this is just about the closest I've seen the "Liberal" Main Stream Media come to calling McCain and Palin on their lies. And yet, people still come on here and announce how pure and righteous they are. Do they go straight to leaving comments without reading the article or do they live in some other reality?

I have notice a lot of post saying McCain 2008 Clinton 2012, my question to all of you is why vote for McCain for one term, that says that you don't trust him but yet you going to vote for him out of spite?have you been sleeping for the past 8years? How stupid can someone get to wait to make a change 4yrs from now? and do you actually believe that Clinton with get it in 2012? Look at what happen in 2004, we needed a change but yet bush still got in again,

Think about that choice you have to make I am sure you are hurting in some ways but yet you u want the same thing.

Seems to be that telling baldfaced lies over and over again (like McCain and Palin have been doing) is what is truly disrespectful.

The ad about John McCain stuck in 1972 was pretty funny. Americans
should want a president who at least knows how to use a computer.

Democrats 08.

I noted that, in Sarah Palin's interview with Charlie Gibson, that she clearly did not even know what the Bush Doctrine is and evaded the question until Mr. Gibson was nice enough to define it for her later.

So much for being a foreign policy guru. Ms. Palin is apparently not even familiar with her party's basic foreign policy positions.

And, what about the Bridge To Nowhere? First she was for it, then she was against it-shades of 2004!!! Then had the gall to keep the US taxpayers money allocated to the bridge rather than return it to us.

My one overriding impression of Ms. Palin was one of hubris-she simply does not know what she does not know, or thinks that it doesn't matter!

I don't know how people can still want to support the mc chickens, when its so obvious that there playing politics. Sarah palin is a bad act, they think were stupid. Dems all the way!!! Puma = ignorance

THE BOTTOM LINE WITH SARAH PALIN IS SHE WON'T BLINK…..AND WON'T THINK. THIS IS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO WOULD LAUNCH US INTO NUCLEAR WAR BY ACCIDENT WITHOUT ANALYZING FACTS, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND CONSEQUENCES. WE NEED OBAMA NOW MORE THAN EVER.

After one week will any attack hurt Gov Palin?
1. Iraq, Afghan wars are holy wars.
2. she wants a cold war with Russia.
3. she wants to ban books.
4. global warming is good.
5. she is a bad mother.
6. she wants americans to find/use more american oil.
7. republican -turned -independent ex-Senator says about Gov Palin: She's a "cocky wacko".
8. actor Matt Damon is scared.

Let's see if there are at least 1-2 new attacks each day maybe one will stick.

Do not fall for the distractions. McCain obviously took a gamble with Sarah Palin. That just shows he is not ready to make solid decisions with careful thought. He will gamble with the country, in a time when gambling is no where near what we need.

Please people don't be so easily swayed.

Obama/Biden 08 and beyond . . .

Its about time Obama and the Democrats hit back and hit back hard. If we have learned anything from the last 2 elections, we cannot sit back and take the onslaught from the GOP.

Gov. Palin showed her true colors last night...an empty shell. Isn't it odd how she fails to mention her son going to Iraq didn't really inlist, he was forced to it because of a drunken driving conviction. Hmmm...there goes those family values again.

When on earth are we going to have candidates and nominees who treat the public as intelligent beings?! If I want to see a fight, I'll watch Jerry Springer. In the meantime, why don't they just talk about what they want to do, and that is it. Let us decide which we like better. I personally think that Obama's campaign should not even respond to these rediculous accusations coming from the Republican Party. I really am not even that drawn to Obama anymore, but McCain and Co's childish behaviour has me firmly on the other side this time around. Why did no one vote for Ron Paul...?

Democrats need to stay calm and collected...and HAMMER the Republicans on their record!! Link McCain to Bush and his miserable record because McCain is in the Rovian Repub's pocket now–he knows he has to be because he's desperate and that's his only hope. So he will continue what Bush and Cheney have started. Forget about Palin! She is nothing to us. Don't even respond to her. The Repubs are using her as a distraction and to anger the Dems so they stay off message. ISSUES, ISSUES, ISSUES!! Stay on issues message and how McCain will be more of the same!

Hi Everyone I have a Question, why is the media giving so much media play to Sarah. I understand she's a beautiful woman, but she not running for President, can we please focus on Mccain. Unless she is somehow running for the President of the United States, and John Mccain is just a pawn, for a bigger plan. By the power that be. Something to think about

This is it! I have made up my mind. There is no way I can vote for McCain. His ads are so dishonest and full of lies. Not only that, there is no substance in any of them. I used to have a great deal of respect fot his man and was so excited when he beat rudy and mitt, but no more. He is using the same old nasty tricks that was once used against him to bring down Obama. I have been voting republican for 3 election cycles but I have decided to vote for Obama this time. It seems to me like McCain will do and say anything to be president and the first proof of that was his selection of Sara Palain. As a woman, I don't have anything against Gov Palin but when you look at what she believes in, it really scares me to think that this woman coule become President- the leader of the free world. That is a really scary thought.

Some of you are SO ill informed. Much like Sarah. First of all, Obama nor his campaign have ever attacked her nor have they said anything sexist. This is just another McCain camp lie. Only bloggers and media have.

Also, Obama has been in the US Senate FOUR YEARS, not two. I see some of you still don't know this. Really, you should do the research on the candidates instead of spouting the lies and crap that you hear. If I can take the time and go online and research the candidates and their running mates, you can to. Spend less time here repeating lies and actually do the work.

The republican mentality is: Win elections by any means necessary. Slush and burn politics. The Obama campaign should stop being nice and start attacking them harder and harder. For the republicans the end justifies the means. As long as they win they don't really care about running a decent campaign or a campaign about the issues or lying or telling hafl-truths. If you don't win you can't bring about the necessary changes that this country needs. So, let the gloves come off. Play them by their game. In the end, if you lose you will be remembered as having LOST and not as having run a decent campaign although you have lost.

No, sorry – the latest ads prove it – the Obama bunch are respectful, and perhaps that's a problem. The ad message is simple, and not very strong, but not wrong. The McCain ad on the hand, like most of their ads, is disingenuous beyond belief. How can they think we're all that dumb, or perhaps they don't mind alienating those who actually are paying attention. Say anything to win is their mantra, and I for one am sooo tired of that – bet I'm not alone.

PS- Palin's 1st interview, for which she undoubtedly crammed like crazy, shows she doesn't know what the Bush doctrine is, doesn't understand what recently happened between Russia and Georgia, doesn't know when the Soviet Union fell...this should be our next VP?

The McCain camp is so despirate that they look for every single little word that they can take out of context so they can cry & whine about it and play victim. Throughout this whole campaigne Obama has taken the high road, Obama has only gone negative in defense. The Republican smear campaigne is in full swing and is out to scare all of you into voting for the them. American was tricked into voting for Bush, not once but twice! Don't be a fool and do it again.

Obama came up with the idea to talk to Iran – Guess what Rice recently did?

Obama wanted the time table to get out of Iraq & Iraq agrees – now Bush is adopting that idea.

Obama wanted to allow troops to cross into Pakistan – now Bush is letting them.

Obama was the original "Change Agent" – all of a sudden McCain is claiming "change" as his mantra.

Obama wanted to stay out of Iraq – we all know how big of a mistake Iraq is.

Does anyone see the trend? Obama's ideas are good and he's been right every time, his judgement is sound. WAKE UP! Barack Obama is already leading this country, cause everyone is jumping on his ideas and are trying to claim them as their own to stear you away from him...don't be fooled by the Republicans, they don't have anything of value to bring us.

President Barack Obama is already a reality, deal with it.

Palin's first-ever interview as VP was a meltdown and the Republicans are trying to distract the American public from the real issues at hand. Palin is *obviously* 'not ready to lead' and she would NOT be 'ready on day one' if something were to happen to McCain. She 'performed' as if she were in a beauty pageant, replying to questions with forced conviction. I'm a 25 year old female, so Republicans, stop with the fake 'sexist' comments. Presidential and VP candidates need to be held accountable for their political and yes, religious views. Americans have the right to know as much as they can about each candidate because too much is at stake to let another Bush surrogate back in the Whitehouse. –Obama/Biden '08

The negative ads from both sides must stop. I want to hear your programs and intentions for a better America, No more negativity, please. My mute button comes in handy whenever the negative ads come on.

Explain to me how someone can dismiss another by saying "You are good looking? Are we stupid McCain? Serioously. Is that the best you got. You are going to confuse everyone with your ads.

Of course he should go after Mr. 10%...that's what McCain should change his name to 7%Bush, 2%Rove, 1%Change....

Palin is not ready for President, she just think she is. She is nothing more than a product of the old repulican party.

"Disrespectful", he says. Respect isn't a one-way street, and McCain's campaign has yet to show Obama any respect. Looks like the McCain campaign can't swallow a taste of its own medicine without whining like a five-year-old. Some hero.

More diversion, more distraction, more dissembling, more manipulation, more pettiness, and more of the same from John McCain.

Now that he's let Palin off her leash, she proves to be ignorant, bellicose, and unprepared. She's going to have to earn some of that respect she wants, starting with her own party. Republican rednacks like her because she's "hot." How respectful is that?

Palin is not ready....she seemed very annoyed during her ABC internview (about darn time), just look at her face and body language!

Let's be smart...ALL of the other candidates have been at this for almost two years! And we're supposed to put this woman with in a heartbeat of being President after knowing her ONLY two months at the time of election! Come on America...we have to be smart this time!

If you closed your eyes last night and LISTENED to both candidates last night, no one in their right mind would vote for McCain. Time after time OBAMA explained in detail what he wanted to do for this country and what it truly meant to SERVE.

McCain campaign can lie in ads and the american people will accept it as fact, even if indisputable facts contradicting the McCain lies are plastered right infront of their faces, because McCain already won the perception race, and once that's won, Obama has virtually no chance in winning the election race.

McCain is running his campaign like a coward and will run the country as a coward. His absurd attacks like the one that paints Obama as a some sort of child sex enabler is the result of a man who has no confidence in his abilities to think or govern. Give a man like that an army at his disposal and that coward will hide behind it and use it to justify his views. Like Bush has done for 8 years. I hope everyone wants a war with Russia, because McCain is going to need "his war" to make himself feel like a real president. It's scary.

It is amazing that anyone who thinks women should earn less than men for the same job until they have more training, in the year 2008, could call anyone sexist. Maybe he should tell more jokes about how ugly Chelsea Clinton is or his famous Gorilla rape joke.

I am not sure why my fellow Republicans are concerned about the questions given Sarah Palin..She was wonderful with her answers and came across as strong and leader like. Agree, that Obama has not been given these tough interviews, but O'Reilly of Fox news did grill him and he stuttered and stammered his way through. Yes, she is new to Washington cynicism, but still can hold her own. This comes from being open and positive about her policies and those of McCain! No Bull in this woman!

That's funny, McCain still hasn't mentioned one issue in an add since the GOP Primaries ended. Here are a couple of highlights from his economic and heath care plans:

McCain's economic plan, including HUGE tax cuts for corporations will increase our budget deficit by more than $8 trillion.

McCain's heath care plan will actually result in as many as 25 million people who now currently covered to lose their health insurance.

NO WONDER HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS PLATFORM!!!

hey, obama has done nothing these past years and now hes teling the US he will 'change,' what 'change'? every democrat president all said these ideas but in different ways. now he decided to bring it out. Vote for McCain if you don't want the world crashing down and guess what we are going to still be in this war whether u like it or not. we won't be able to pull out and obama keeps on changing the time he is going to pull the US out of the war.

I saw her interview and I have to say I am afraid. When will the media take her to task? This woman is not prepared for the White House and neither is McCain. I can see WW3 in the future if these people ever enter the WH.

Wake up America. The new Republicans and their kind do not represent the type of people we as Americans really are. Bush is a punk, acted that way during both his campaigns, and continues to act that way as President. McCain is a bully, and if his campaign is any indication, he will be that way as a President too. These type of personalities and people do not represent who we as Americans are, nor wish to be. Is this what we want? Is McCain the type of person to lead us out of the mess left to us by Bush and Co.?

Go watch Puppet, err Palin in her interview. Her aggresive demeanor is so clearly an act... an act to cover that she is scared to death of being exposed.

By the way, did anyone find it bizarre that after 4 years of war in Iraq, when Mr. Bush's reign is about to be over, he finally decided to go after Bin Laden where he actually resides?
Is it because he is afraid democrats will be the ones getting this guy in 2009? Shame on you and all the ididot republicans and independents that voted for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that Barack (and even people in the Bush administration) know that it was mostly Saudis and not Iraq or Iraqis who attacked us on 9/11. Apparently, in addition to wanting to go to war with Russia (and not blinking) no one bothered to let Palin know this very important fact. Way to fake foreign policy experience!

McCain’s newfound profession of being the candidate of change is like rearranging the location the special sauce, pickles, lettuce, and cheese and on a Big-Mac and calling that a “change”. might be…but it is still the same old sandwich.

Today is September 12, 2008, seven years one day and since al-Qaeda attacked us, McCain talks about change. I want to know-- Where the hell is Osama Bin Laden, you know, that guy you republicans said you would follow to the gates of hell to catch…looks like winning an election is more important than catching the animal that attacked us.

I was just wondering when people were going to ask when is Palin going to Iraq? A big deal was made of Senator Obama's failure to tour Iraq for two years.

He attacked Obama's foreign policy credentials, implying that the Illinois Senator was not ready to lead by saying:

“Senator Obama has been to Iraq once. A little over two years ago he went, and he has never seized the opportunity, except in a hearing, to meet with General Petraeus."

McCain then proceeded to nominate a Vice President who didn't know what the "Bush Doctorine"–the basis for our presence in Iraq–was, and the Governor has never set foot in Iraq. Is McCain expecting us to believe that Governor Palin who hasn't set foot in this country, and doesn't know the premis for our invasion is ready to be our President should she be called upon to do so? When will the media ask about this?

I agree that candidate's children should be off limit in campaign, but problem w/ Republican is all the time they talk about God, Religion, Abortion and Family value, and if you cannot teach that value to your children then you cannot blame media or public for talking about.

If people would pay attention to what the GOP talk about, they would know that they never talk about serious issues, like unemployment, healthcare, foreclosures, high gas prices and the list goes on and on. The GOP would rather talk about things that are irrelevant to America's needs, like lipstick, Is he (Obama) ready to lead and he's a celebrity; nothing but things to distract American on how they screwed up our country during these last eight years. ENOUGH!

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN & PALIN!

GMA's interview between Gibson and Palin revealed even more lies and produced evasive answers to serious questions. All educated and mentally fit Repubs must be hanging their heads in shame.

Fellow Obama supporters:

Please, please do not underestimate Sarah Palin-the woman has won at everything she has tried-basketball, hunting for bear and moose, fisherman, running for Mayor, running for Governor, and now at 44 selected to run as VP of the United States.

The large crowds she draws should tell you that she's not to be toyed with. Let's be careful.

Obama 08'

Love to see Obama for what he really is; a down in the gutter Washington politician. So much for change.

How I wish Hillary Clinton would take the stump against Palin. It is going to take a woman to confront her. Whenever a man criticizes her, all the Conservative zombies, who have never thought about sexism in their lives, say, "He's being a sexist. He's hurting a woman!" This gal is a loose cannon. She needs to go back to her village and let her husband support the family.

The wheels of the Republican party are about to fall off the Palin bandwagon. If anyone saw any part of the interview with Charles Gibson it is obvious, obvious she is not ready to be VP and absolutely not ready to be Commander in Chief. Obama is about to get his swagger back. Sorry GOP

OBAMA/BIDEN 08.

Fire back hard at their lies Mr Obama.Please dont let Mcfool and and his pitbull ruin our country.

To independant woman for Obama:

She is a "pig with lipstick" and should not be in the next administration. Can we say "Oink! Oink"…

Very mature. A direct reflection of the cesspool commentary I've come to know and love from the democratic party. My hope is when McCain/Palin win the election that you and your cohorts find solace in the 57th state of Canada. Go away!!

John McSAME is a sis; hiding behind a woman instead of coming out to talk about the issues!

LOL......she did a terrible interview. She is really dumb.

Too Bad....please go to factcheck.org to see who the real liars are. Palin did a great job in her first interview. And will only get stronger in the weeks to come.

JIM? A WHIMP! HE FOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY FOR 25 YEARS AND HE WAS TORTURED FOR HIS COUNTRY FOR OVER 4 YEARS!

BARACK OBAMA HAS NOTHING FOR HIS COUNTRY BUT LIE!

A WHIMP? PLEASE GO WHIMPER IN YOUR HOME ON NOV.4
NOBAMA
NOVEMBER
NOWAY
NOHOW
NOBIDEN
NOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, it seems people dont even read other peoples messages, just read story, skip tro bottom to post their own sarcastic messages..giving credit where its due, the ones who are not sarcastic, and sticking to the issues, I thank..Its the ISSUES people, the ECONOMY..Obama himself asked us to concentrate on that..are people not listening to him either ???
ECONOMY ISSUES
ECONOMY ISSUES
ECONOMY ISSUES
not childish backbiting..

Good job Obama/Plouffe...these guys are getting way too much of a free ride. Republicans are blatant liars. I'm not even sure how they sleep at night

Keep it coming Obama. The Country needs you. This is about the top of the ticket. Not about Palin (which is what the Republicans want it to be about) and Biden. It's about Obama versus McCain.

This whole thing is begining to make me sick. Get to the issues.

Everybody keeps saying Obama should stop attacking Sarah Palin...

Name one attack that has come directly from Obama toward her. Do it. Name it. Send it to me. You can't.

Any reference to Palin has been in response to a question.

So, please stop falling for the GOP talking points that Obama is attacking Palin... this is their plan and it is so obvious.

Palin is an outright liar

PALIN IS A LIAR

PALIN IS A LIAR

PALIN IS A LIAR

Palin has no business being a VP candidate . . . If she was ready to be McCain's running mate she would have been able to answer questions and give interviews the day she was announced as McCain's running mate . . . But, no. The GOP had to rush her into seclusion so she wouldn't say anything damaging . . . they rebooted her, reinstalled the GOP company lines, one liners, and talking points . . . Does needing to be programmed to look experienced make someone experienced? The GOP just got done with their little make-over to turn her into something she ain't . . . and I, for one, ain't afraid to say . . . "You can put lipstick on a pig . . . but it's still a pig." So the GOP can window dress and reinvent Palin to be "vice-presidential", but she's still the inexperienced ideologue/extremist that she was before she was selected by McCain's political strategists . . .

McCain/Palin needs to come out with an ad outlining Joe Biden's OWN words describing Obama as not ready to be President, and how Biden himself believes he is not the best candidate to be VP.....foot in mouth disease.

The left wing nuts are losing their screws.

The McCain camp can dish it out but they sure can't take it. I would like to share a few of my observations. How could Senator McCain say he respects community organizers when he was asked during the Service Forum but laugh and clap every time Gov. Palin mocks Sen. Obama? And, I would like to know if I was the only one who noticed how quickly Gov. Palin walked past her family after exiting the jet in Alaska. She patted her youngest daughter on the head and brushed a kiss on Trig's cheek. Family values??? Finally, I think the decision to run as v.p of the United States takes a little bit of thought,, not without hesitation. Very Scary.

If Sarah Palin's party doesn't want Biden calling her good-looking then they should stop calling her "the hot chick" DUH!

What Obama should do is go back to his rally's that have drawn big crowds. He does better with more people he seems to get his energy from them. On Palin interview so far, it looks like she is good at another thing called evasion.

It's terrifying for the future after reading some of these comments. I am starting to think that people should be required to take an IQ and psychological test before being allowed to vote.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08'

I just don't understand how telling the truth about someone can be considered sexist. The Obama campaign hasn't made one untrue remark about Sarah Palin and everytime they attack her she cries out sexism. McCain made a smart choice. Palin can attack Obama/Biden all she wants and it's considered cute and/or tough because she's a woman. But the second she gets attacked they play the sexism card because she's a woman. McCain is trying and is getting it both ways right now and that needs to stop.

This election shouldn't be about Sarah Palin!! If you are going to attack, then please go after Obama...McSame.

McSame is trying to play to women's weaknesses, like silly Mika on MSNBC. She thought that Charlie Gibson asked Gov. Palin questions that he wouldn't have asked a man. Based on what?!?!

You know I guess he should have asked about the color of her hair dye. Give me a freakin break!!!!

You shouldn't say that a women has every right to be president/vice president and then say that the questions she was asked were unfair. That is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is running for the vice president and she should be questioned accordingly. Get thick skin if you want to run with the big dogs. Hillary did....

Mika is a loser and so is the McSame Campaign.

Are Americans stupid or what? No disrespect
to John McCain, but a captured POW and a hard headed woman (like
George Bush) with absolutely no foreign relations policy experience
is suppose to protect this country from harm? If Americans don't wake
up to their stupid voting habits, they will be instrumental in electing the
most dangerous couple in American history. Even more dangerous than Bush.

After all the attacks McCain has made on Obama, including some stupid nonsense about lipstick, he is saying the Obama campaign is attacking Palin. McCain said it clearly last night that the tone of this campaign would have been different if Obama had agreed to the town hall meetings McCain wanted. Do it my way or I'll act as dishonorable as the media lets me get away with acting?

Bet CNN doesnt print his !! hee hee hee

Sure begining to sound like Nobama is fighting against Palin ..
guess the teleprompter must be off .. hey .. Nobama .. wake up ..
the presendtial nominee is Mccain .. NOT Palin

Mccain '08
HRC '12

McCain's ads are going to backfire.

She constantly repeats that same lie about the bridge to nowhere, and thankfully the press continues to point out that it's a lie, even expressing surprise that she keeps it going after she's been called on it.

The reaction from most people is going to be, Obama called her a liar? Everybody knows she IS a liar.

The Republicans are standing up for their candidate. Thats more than I can say for the Democrats that let Clinton get trashed daily by the media and Obama on a daily basis and never said a word. The DNC is a disgrace.

The Messiah is slipping. Despite having most of the media on his side, in an year where Dems should have had a landslide he is falling behind in the polls. Media are concerned about Palin being a heartbeat away from the Presidency but are not bothered about a man with tissue thin resume and questionable anti American friends occupying the Oval Office. Every time they mock at Palin they fall flat on their face. She has silenced her critics time and time again first with the convention speech and then with her tv interview. The Palins are a normal American family with normal flawed children like the rest of our families and a breath of fresh air. Her down to earth appearance is a refreshing change from the coiffered looks of Hillary and Pelosi. Most American families can identify with her and the McCains poll leads will only continue to grow while the One implodes. Did I hear sounds of a champagne corking and a high five from the Clinton residence.

Sarah Palin is good looking. So is Barack Obama. But Sarah Palin is the one who looked like a moose in the headlights last night when asked about foreign policy.

Obama is the one who looked presidential and had a command of the facts last night.

I don't see any mention of the fact that Sarah Palin had no clue what the Bush Doctrine is and looked like a deer in headlights when asked by C. Gibson. I know what it is, therefore I think I'm more qualified for VP than Ms Priss. McCain, give me a call. I won't cry sexism everytime someone calls me on something...nor will I have to be handled with kid gloves.

It was funny to see Obama quoting his grandfather's example, in efforts to showing how close he is to military, and that he belongs to one.

Mr Obama, you can't meet John McCain's sacrifice and efforts, never no way.

For 22 years, John McCain wore military uniform, and today if the whole world accepts American military supremacy is becuase of people like John McCain.

McCain has been caught in a lie saying the licstick on a pig remark was aimed at Palin. HE is probably just ignortant that the remarkr was in regard to energy, or maybe he is self-conscious. Ironically he has used the same phrase – was it in regard to Hilary? THis is trivia that distracts from issues but lying is is a serious character flaw.

Dear Barack Obama,

Leading a country doesnt require a computer it requires leadership and a brain which you dont have.

McCain and Palin are right you are wrong

McCain/Palin Country First!

Barack Obama where did your "change" go? You are going against your word Mr. Obama...Not the first time

Palin is Bush and Pat Robertson in lipstick.

Here are four quotes from history that I think best represent the tactics and philosophy of the McCain campaign:

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."

"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach."

"How fortunate for leaders that men do not think."

"It is not truth that matters, but victory."

McCain is avoiding the issues, making up lies to distract the American people from the real problems, and trying to make himself an agent of change when it's clear that it is all just talk and hypocrisy. So who said the quotes above? One of histories most despicable and evil leaders but one that managed to fool people effectively, Adolf Hitler.

I love my country and have been following politics here closely for 40 years. It is because of this that I know it will be a historic mistake if McCain and Palin are elected. Nothing will change for the better if they are elected, and they will prove once again that lying to and misleading Americas is the way to win an election.

Enough, already!
Hey, America!
Ever wonder why there are so many negative political ads?
It's because a significant number of Americans react to every attack. We have a huge national problem when we apparently want to believe the worst about our leaders!
Both Obama and McCain are able and honorable people.
So, PLEASE people, realize that picking our national leaders is not about tearing them down. We can't afford as a nation to select a leader based on their negatives. They both have them. SO DO YOU!
The question this year is: Which of these leaders can do the best job for US!
We have a huge national debt, rising gas and food prices, rising unemployment, rising inflation, record home foreclosures, a costly war in Iraq, inadequate troop levels in Afghanistan, too much money invested in China, too many Americans without health insurance, and lower family incomes!
These are what we need to talk about! PICK AN ISSUE then ask yourself which candidate has YOUR best interests at heart!
There's plenty of REAL issues to talk about. The next time a media outlet or polster calls to ask you who you're going to vote for – or sadly, whether stupid attacks make a differnece to you . . . TELL THEM YOU'RE FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES, AND YOU'LL LET THEM KNOW ON ELECTION DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no article on her saying she would consider war on russia!!!
No article on her not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is!!!!!

Start reporting please!!!!!!!!

Obama's tone has switched from unchecked arrogance to snide and disrespectful attacks. It's painfully obvious that he thought he had this in the bag along and is blindly swinging now. The few Independents who were still on his side have by now jumped off that sinking ship of "change" and onto the real ticket of change with some actual substance: McCain/Palin.

McCain and Palin are touting real change – what's so different since McCain has all those lobbyists working for his campaign and what's so different with Palin hiring a lobbyist to get earmarks for Alaska. The republicans might buy it because I liken them to the same people that followed religious leader Jim Jones – they will swallow anything even if it's poisonous. The male republicans only like Palin because she doesn't think for herself, defend women's rights, and looks good in a skirt. (I'm a 64 yr old, white, PA female by the way)

Does John McCain actually think that he can hide behind Sara Palin? It it going to become clear eventually that the McCain campaign is not going to focus on the issues it is going to focus on distracting the American public. If people go for this kind of gutter politics and vote for McSame then they deserve everything they get. When are people going to say enough is enough and vote their conscience?

The McCain camp would have nothing to run on if they didn't steal from Obama, Lie and put their "cult of personality" nut job VP up front to hide behind. John McCain is dead wrong on every issue, unless you love war and blindly bombing your way through foriegn policy.. He has no idea what the common man needs, or you could say a lack of SA, which is probably why he had so many problems keeping his planes aloft. after getting laid off I have lived the whole "temporary" job lunacy that he calls his economic policy, let me tell you, with a republican in office, that higher paying, permanent job will never come.
It will only be four more years of the same. Trickle down has never worked and republicans can not give one example of when it did. You cannot drill your way out of the high cost of oil, it will take more of your money to drill, and what they will get will only cover 1% of the need! we didnt start drilling in the middle east for kicks and giggles, we did it because it was the only cheap oil left! now you want to give more money to the very people that are making record profits and stealing from you at the pump? GET REAL! McCain has flip flopped the reall issues countless times and his VP can't be trusted to run this nation.

NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN NO PALIN

I used to respect and support McSame until he became the GOP nominee and took a rapid 360 degree turn. Where is the maverick in him when he's stood so low by lying to the American people and distorting OBAMA's record? OBAMA has two little girls of his own and it's disturbing that McSame accusses him of teaching kids about sex before they could learn to read. As a parent this makes me sick to my stomach and anyone who doubts that McCain is another Bush needs a reality check. What Washington is he going to reform when his top advisers have ties to lobbying firm. McCain keeps saying how he knows how to fix Washington, win the WARS and catch Bin Laden, however, he hasn't given this information to the FBI until we elect him oue President. I have a message for McSame and it's thanks but no thanks.
Boston, MA

..McCain claims to have made changes in Washington, shook it up, blah blah blah.

Can somebody please tell me all these GREAT things he'd done for us commong folks in the past 26 years.

You know common Americans, who don't own $500 shoes, seven homes, don't make $5 million, or $1 million for all that matters.

What have you don't for me John McCain in the past 26 years,

NOTHING.

You're no Maverick, you're one of the good Ole boys. Period!

Grandma for Obama

Anyone who supports the republican lies that Factcheck has pointed out is an idiot. Palin and simple. I mean, plain and simple. If you help to get McCain elected, you'll get exactly what you deserve...the same thing you've been getting for the last 8 years after you voted twice for Bush.

The libs are so accepting of everyone, unless you don't think exactly like them.

The problem with the Democrats and their current campaign is that they are not trying to beat John McCain and Sarah Palin, they are trying to rid the earth of the Republican party...sorry to tell you folks that this is obviously not going to work.

Mt Rushmore= 3 republicans, no democrats.

Keep trying to tell us the republican pary (as a whole) are lyars and cheats, and you will lose because you are making generalizations (that' obama's plan). Sweeping generalizations about everything except race.

Sarah Palin *is* a liar. Everyone knows it. John McCain might be a war hero – but he had poor judgement when choosing her. My vote is for Obama.

Did you see the Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin. She had to no clue what the Bush Doctrine was. She didn't even know how to answer foreign policy questions. She look like a bumbling fool, kind of reminds me of Bush lol. That's why hockey moms and 20 month governors can't be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Obama is a sexist and is doing the same dirty tactics he did with Hillary. Why? If he would have chose Hillary as VP he would have won the election and now he is desperate. McCain in 2208 and Hillary in 2012

McCain claims to have made changes in Washington, shook it up, blah blah blah.

Can somebody please tell me all these GREAT things he'd done for us commong folks in the past 26 years.

You know common Americans, who don't own $500 shoes, seven homes, don't make $5 million, or $1 million for all that matters.

What have you don't for me John McCain in the past 26 years,

NOTHING.

You're no Maverick, you're one of the good Ole boys. Period!

Grandma for Obama

Whatever you do boys, protect Sarah. Since she can't seem to come out on her own right now and speak without reciting the same "I am a hockey mom" line. If she knew what she were doing, why is she being guarded?. She should have already been out on the trail. But you guys have to prepare her for that. If she can't take the heat ...

This is one white woman that will not buy the into Sarah !!

Go Obama !!

excuse me, to the comment left by "lol", I am a woman, and by no means do you see Obama playing the race card. I mean Palin herself said in an interview about Senator Clinton that women should not play the sexism card at all, and if anything, then puts them behind. Please, save your words for something that is right. Because when you get into a tough race, be ready to be ridiculed by everyone, whether it is right or wrong. And in this case, Obama is not being sexist at all. ANd for your information, McCain has used that pig and lipstick comment before, aimed directly at Senator Clinton.

This time, Obama was referring that to McCain, not even driectly to a woman. Get your facts straight.

The republican mentality is: Win elections by any means necessary. Slush and burn politics. The Obama campaign should stop being nice and start attacking them harder and harder. For the republicans the end justifies the means. As long as they win they don't really care about running a decent campaign or a campaign about the issues or lying or telling hafl-truths. If you don't win you can't bring about the necessary changes that this country needs. So, let the gloves come off. Play them by their game. In the end, if you lose you will be remembered as having LOST and not as having a decent campaign although you have lost.

I would like to see ONE John McCain ad speaking about him that doesn't have the phrase "P.O.W" or "Maverick". I don't particularly care right now about what he used to do or be. What I am interested is in what he is going to do in the future. And the Obama campaign needs to start attacking his LIES. I was watching Morning Joe before work and the man on there from a factcheck website said ALL of McCain's ads are barely true. It distorting the facts... which to me is called lying.

When she started talking about the BUSH Doctrin she proved beyond a doubt that ther is NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HER AND BUSH. The idea that if you just think you might be acctack give you the RIGHT to attack first is exactly what got us into IRAQ.

That line of thinking could be used by RUSSA to gustify their actions in Georga. Once you open that logic you leave the world in danger. She wants a new COLD WAR so the wepons companies can get rich. So she can pump more oil out of Alaska and make more profit.

I am tired of all this...both parties should be ashamed,
The country is going down the drain, and yes epoelmthe threat of a dperession is real and grwoing everyday...so get back to telling us what you are going to do, and how, and not all this attacking and stupid stuff...there is way too much at stake in this election for politics as usual, that we have enbdured for 8 years.

I have been checking factcheck.org daily to see what is posted there. The 'ads' distributed by the McCain campaign are disgusting. The distortions and outright lies contained in them are truly staggering. When is the press going to lay into the McCain campaign and expose it for what it is? Gutter politics!

Why all this hoopla over Palin's "good looking" status.
Don't people in her own state have a bumper sticker that says something about "Hottest Governor"?
She wasn't insulted by that was she???
I am sick of all this wimpy whinny crap from the McCain campaign.
She is supposed to be a pit bull. My poodle has a thicker skin than she does.

I'm so disappointed to see McCain whine about how the Obama campaign has treated Palin. For the most part, they've treated her with dignity and respect. In some cases, they went out of their way to keep the tone positive. But she sure hasn't returned the courtesy to them. She's mocked and insulted them over and over. And then when they say anything, even if it's of a much lower magnitude, she and McCain complain and display false outrage. Even factcheck is appalled at how McCain has distorted this issue!

The republicans opened that door with those buttons. I think it's childish for them to cry foul when a democratic canidate makes reference to her that is not sexist. The comment Joe Biden made was innocent enough and was meant as a compliment. There is a double standard here. Now everything the democrats say in regards to Palin is "sexist". This will become more and more apparent and if the McCain keeps up this strategy they will inadvertently present her as fragile. Oh don't say anything about Sarah or it might offend her. This undermines any confidence that she can stand fast in the face of the leaders of the rest of the world. It makes her look like she needs protecting. She should be offended that the Republicans treat her this way. She is either a future leader of this nation or a gimmick to win votes. If the later is true she should be highly offended and the rest of us should be offended for her.

Obama needs to just ignore them...ESPECIALLY PALIN...and just get back to his message and his plan...cause let's not forget Obama is the one with the plans and the real message of change. Mcsame and Palin just copied him because they know they don't stand a chance.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!

McCain's manager states that the press should treat Palin with "deference". Oh give me a break!!! Can we say DOUBLE STANDARD! If she gives a punch, she should be able to take a punch. She has entered a new league with the big dogs. She CAN'T have it both ways. What?? Treat her like a lady, don't criticize too much, it's sexist. But on the other hand she's strong enough and intelligent enough to hold a position as any other man has in the past. She's free game just as MCCain, Obama, and Biden are.

American Ariman- OBAMA is running for president against McShame, NOT BIDEN.... Is was the smart one to have someone who knows the b.s. that goes on and has stood for more than keeping federal money and saying "they did well"

do we really want a war with russia, and afganistan, and iran and pakistan all while STILL FIGHTING IN IRAQ???

i'm voting OBAMA / BIDEN i don't care who you're voting for but if you want to stay out of WWIII don't punch that hole, or pull that level for the republican candidates this year!! VOTE 3RD PARTY- NADER, BARR, MCKINNEY, THEY ALL BRING SOMETHING WE SO DESPERATELY NEED, SO DOES BARACK OBAMA!

Stick to the issues: Who do we TRUST to be our president. McCain, through his ACTIONS, has earned our TRUST. Obama, so far, has only offered WORDS. He may still EARN our TRUST through a track record of ACTIONS to come, but clearly he does not have one yet.

We all know politicians will say ANYTHING to win... we saw that over the past two years with the battle between Clinton and Obama. We also know that politician's WORDS are empty – to be reversed faster than a stoplight going green to red.... or to be disavowed as "I misspoke" or some other excuse.

ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS. McCain has a track record of ACTIONS. Obama only has WORDS.

America: we might as well just get used to the fact that the negative ads will continue until Nov. 4th. The only thing we can do is to educate ourselves on the issues because it is our responsibility to seek and find the truth. Don't rely on anyone but yourself.

Pat C: "obama should never mention sarah palin at this point."

You'll note that he didn't in either of his ads.

Be cool, he's got this.

Notice how they craftily say "How disrespectful." and a vague "she proves them wrong"... I can't help but point out they never say Palin isn't a LIAR. (Finally some truth from the Republicans???)

Well, the thing is that when you change your views on an issue just to mkae it seem like your a reformer, that probably doesn't make you a reformer. Look to the facts:

1. Sarah Palin backed the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.

2. Before she was "against" lobbyists, she brought in lobbyists to the town where she was a mayor.

In essence, it's not unfair to attack Gov. Palin because of the simple fact that maybe she isn't prepared. If you can attack Sen. Obama on not being prepared for the presidency then it is only fair to be able to attack Gov. Palin. It's just more politics as usual by the GOP, trying to get elected, by the sneaky underhanded tactics of lying.

Obama/Biden '08

When, O lord, When o when are these children going to grow up and stop running a campaign based on trading insults?

O when o when ???!!!

These ads leave me cold.............In fact I as so many other people are sick of the dirty politics, all the lying the half truths all the name calling Why don't you all just stick to what is important!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If all this garbage continues on both sides maybe neither of the parties deserve to win. Maybe it's time to bring in Bob Barr or Ron Paul.

What Obama needs to do is show clips from Bushs 2000 acceptance speech and McCains acceptance speech. The speeches are almost mirrored word for word. Then ask how we can expect change from McCain when he gave the same speech as Bush.

Enough is Enough. Stick to the issues. Obama/Biden please don't sink to their level. Get back to the issues. After listening to Palin's speech at the Convention, McCain lost my vote. I don't believe someone who is so hate filled belongs in the White House!!

Palin, well she has already started WWIII it seems. Sorry but Georgia is not worth killing 150 million Americans and 200 million Russians. Bold words from someone who is not even Vice President. Also it was funny that she add to add anything after Gibson asked her "have you ever met another head of state". Why can't the answer be just plain no! Not, No but if you look into history you will find that other VP have not either….now give me a break! Yes all former VP's had already met at least one head of state. Matt Damon is right, if the voters of Ohio, Indiana and Virginia cant see through all the GOP shams then something is terribly wrong with us, and maybe we do need to be nuked off the planet.

If anyone is a liar it's Obama, he's dong the same ole Washington style politicks....is his hair getting gray already? Why he's only in the election process...will he make it to the end?

Stay tuned to Part Three...- As the spin in the election is still spinning by all of the spin doctors...

What happened to all of the kiss-kiss photo – op-Kumbaya-we are the world – of them at Ground Zero? They're all bare-faced liars...

If Palin can't handle the heat, then maybe she should get out of the fire. If McCain is a "maverick", his ads are not showing it.

I care more about the issues then this nonsense. Talk about the issues McCain and maybe I'd listen.

McCain calling the Obama camp "sexist" is a laugh. He should really look in the mirror.

McCain needs to dump this women and stop his lies, she calls the reporter a scenic because she never said that men got nothing to do with global warming activity.

Fairbanks Daily of Alaska publish this.
I,m not Al Gore doom and gloom environmentalist blaming the changes in our climates on human activity.

She fail badly on that interview.

McCain where is the person the person you said you will pick to be ready on day one. This is not it.
And how dare this republicans compare her with Obama.
This people are a JOKE.

As a working woman myself, quite frankly the Republicans ads about Palin are starting to tick me off. Is that all they got? Sarah Palin didn't get where she is today being this poor, defenseless woman getting picked on all the time. She can more then hold her own. I've met women like her in the business world; they are more ruthless then their male counterparts.

As far as McCain goes, he IS old. He's lived longer than my father did, and my dad was in good health when he keeled over one day and died. Considering how the Presidency ages you, it's a legitimate point.

John McCain has sold his soul to be president. I have lost all respect for him. Its sad and disgusting. I thought he was better than this... he's proven me wrong.

To LOL: you said, "the sexism spewing out of the democrats is beyond belief. you think the dnc would have learned after the outrage people had after hillary's brutal treatment." Funny you should mention that. Do a little online searching and you can find Sarah Palin in an interview being asked about Hillary's complaints, during the primary, that attacks against her were sexist. Guess what Gov. Palin's reaction was? That a woman in politics has to expect those kind of attacks, and complaining doesn't advance the cause of women in politics. Cut to now, and if anyone even looks at Palin, they're sexist. These are typical Republican smoke-and-mirror tactics designed to keep you from really considering Palin's shortcomings as a potential VP. Stop hiding behind simple concepts and do some digging into her time as mayor and governor. There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Palin in and of herself, let alone because she's running with John McCain, the worst possible pick for President.

Stick to the issues: Who do we TRUST to be our president. McCain, through his ACTIONS, has earned our TRUST. Obama, so far, has only offered WORDS. He may still EARN our TRUST through a track record of ACTIONS to come, but clearly he does not have one yet.

We all know politicians will say ANYTHING to win... we saw that over the past two years with the battle between Clinton and Obama. We also know that politician's WORDS are empty – to be reversed faster than a stoplight going green to red.... or to be disavowed as "I misspoke" or some other excuse.

ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS. McCain has a track record of ACTIONS. Obama only has WORDS.

Regardless of McCain's performance last night, not that McCain was any better than Obama – doesn't change the fact that his not-so-brilliant choice of VP still doesn't know anything about foreign relations and policies.

We are at two wars, and this country is too gullible.

From what I have seen regarding Palin's response to the questions she was asked, McCain really threw in the towel in this fight.

There is NO WAY that this woman has any business in this election. I DO NOT trust her opinions – not one bit – talk about scary.

I would rather see the government be "Cool" again. Than have to worry about the United States being attacked and worry about our lives in the hands of someone who is not capable of making clear decisions and someone is doesn't know what the heck a Vice President is suppose to do.

As evidenced from the news media, the Democrats are throwing anything they can get their hands on, including untrue allegations, against the Republican ticket. And the American people are absolutely disgusted with the Democrat campaign!

I can't stand the thoughts of more years of "in your face" attitudes we have received from the current republican admin.

We have the chance to elect two candidates who actually THINK about the people FIRST.

Obama/Biden '08 – let's take our country back from corporate and big oil.

Clearly McCain wants to keep the attention on Palin, with McCain as the knight in shining armor defending the honor of the damsel in distress.

The McCain fantasy world grows more extreme every day.

from JENNY: "PLOUFFE — THE ADS SUCK — GET TOUGH OR LOSE"

So true so true. If Dems want any chance of winning they need to get tough, get angry, and do it fast.

Figures. McCain's ads were quickly debunked by Factcheck while Obama's ads take the words right out of McCain's mouth. and did anything catch Palin's interview last night? McCain should have chosen Charlie Gibson for VP. At least then I could have some respect for them. Palin was a total fake, feining seriousness and even knowledge itself in her attempt to bluff her way through the interview. No amount of prep time form Bush's people themselves prepared her enough to answer even simple questions. As an International Relations grad, I know what the Bush doctrine is. I know I have special knowledge because I studied it so I don't expect most other people to know. However, the VP of a 72 year-old multiple cancer survivor ought to know what the foreign policy of the current president has been, especially when that president was a Republican. That isn't too much to ask.

Obama, stay on the issues....but don't let McCains attack go unanswered...McCain and Sarah will lie and use small issues and attack the democrats but.....YOU STAY ON THE ISSUE AND DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH LIES..

USE BILL CLINTONS ADVISE....

OBAMA/BIDEN 08'
HILLARY/OBAMA 16'

How many times do factcheck.org need to point out the blatant LIES of the McCain campaign before people take notice?

This is just infuriating. How can you debate somebody who repeatedly and shamelessly LIES and gets away with it?

MSM – You are not drawing enough attention to this. If one side is clearly LYING, then you are under no obligation to give them an equal and balanced platform.

Did we even get past the end of the day? Did we even get one full day of peace? What happened to the positive, issues-based campaign we were promised?
And since when does calling someone good looking qualify as an attack?

Shame on you McCain...Shame on you!!!

GO GET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

CAN WE JUST STICK TO THE ISSUES PLEASE! ANYTIME WE CAN NOT ASK QUESTIONS AND MUST TREAT A POTENTIAL VICE PRESIDENT WITH DEFERENCE, IT IS RIDICULOUS. PALIN IS BEGINNING TO SOUND A LOT LIKE DICK CHENEY. SHE DOES NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS, SHE KEEPS HERSELF IN A BUBBLE, DEMAND DEFERENCE ETC. SAMES OLD POLITICS EXCEPT THIS TIME, WE CAN AFFORD TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE, BECAUSE IF WE DO, WE MAY NEVER RECOVER AS A NATION.

SO LET'S ATTEMPT TO STICK TO THE ISSUES THAT ARE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Obama should never mention the bridge to nowhere. When it was finally nixed they offered to divert the funds to New Orleans and Obama VOTED AGAINST IT!. He voted against New Orleans getting money after Hurricane Katrina.

Timeouts for everyone...

I am blown away by the idea that American's will vote for the same party that has left us with very scary issues after 8 years. If this government were a business.. it wouldn't be in business anymore.

keep milking the POW thing johnny, i wont fight in your wars.

Stick to the issues: Who do we TRUST to be our president. McCain, through his ACTIONS, has earned our TRUST. Obama, so far, has only offered WORDS. He may still EARN our TRUST through a track record of ACTIONS to come, but clearly he does not have one yet.

We all know politicians will say ANYTHING to win... we saw that over the past two years with the battle between Clinton and Obama. We also know that politician's WORDS are empty – to be reversed faster than a stoplight going green to red.... or to be disavowed as "I misspoke" or some other excuse.

ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS. McCain has a track record of ACTIONS. Obama only has WORDS.

HEt there! the people are tired of this nonsense!!! What about the economy? school & education!! more jobs!!!

Come on, i don't care if the vice presinet is a woman, yellow, bald, whatever. I do not care about the gender and good looks. PLEASE lets talk about serious topics.

This election should be about getting the best educated and prepared person in the white house, who is capable of putting together a team of adviserswho can help build up the country.

Why is the media not pressing more on hte important issues? PLEASE there are already enough people out there who are biased, undecided or confused because they are not being fed with the right information.

The (wrong or right) choice for president will be a burden that not only the USA, but THE WHOLE WORLD will have to deal with the next 4 years!!

Just like Republicans, attacking the other side by taking their words out of context. This election year is about the issues American's face. If anyone recalls the 2004 elections, it was about morals, and personal values...hmm how far did that get us with President Bush?

Come on people, wake up and see reality. We need someone who will bring our country together, who KNOWS that there is a separation of church and state, who will bring the world together, fund and develop alternative energy, and who will address and help those in need. By far that is Barack Obama. I'm sorry, I won't fall for the "this campaign is about personality, not issues," tell that to all those people who have lost their jobs and healthcare or their home, or lost their child in a meaningless war.

BARACK Obama 2008! If we don't vote for him, we have lost our country.

I think these ads that cut to the important issues, what's obama all about and how mccain is out of touch, are excellent! WIth these new ads I think the Obama campaign will be getting back on track to directing the focus off of the unequiped newbie to the matters that really affect you the American people.

Here's rooting for an awakened America!!

Obama/Biden -08

(I SO wish I could vote!!)

It seems that everyone is focusing on the factual things that Palin said in the interview. Is anyone analyzing her interview from the perspective of whether the way she said things were indicative of a knowledge of the power of words and whether a VP should or ever would say out loud that we perhaps should go to war with Russia. Any seasoned politico would know how to answer without answering that question. The same with the Israel question, where she just repeated her talking point and couldn't get out from under Gibson's actual question. There was no nuance at all. Isn't that what we should be focusing on. . .and not whether she memorized some facts?

The double standards and talking out of the side of their mouths by the Republican party is simply baffling! First, they attack Obama calling him a celebrity. Then they turn Palin into their own celebrity, but that's ok because she's a Republican. When Tim Kaine was a potential VP pick for the Democrats, Karl Rove slammed him saying that being the Mayor of Richmond Virginia and Governor of Virginia for only three years wasn't enough experience to be VP...But apparently being the mayor of a town of 9,000 people and Governor for less than three years of the least densely populated state is.

This is absolutely ridiculous! I'm waiting for the McCain ad that states "the democrats are hunting your future VP like a pack of wolves. But that's ok, because she can shoot them from a helicoptor"

Who cares about America these days. Mature people attacking each other like dogs. If I were American, fortunately am not, I wouldn't vote and go and live in netherlands.

So, here's what it looks like to me.

The Obama campaign said complimentary things about the McCain campaign. Tried to soften some criticism, tried to explain things a bit.

In return, the McCain campaign kicked the Obama campaign in the nads.

McCain is running one of the most dishonorable campaigns in history. In 2000, the Rove-led Bush campaign trashed McCain in South Carolina, but now McCain has Rove's sidekick running his whole operation, and it shows.

Now you get the message. You fight fire with fire. This is no time for Mr. Nice Guy. You can be nice but do not allow those crooks to steal this election again. Right on target. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Way to go OBAMA.

The McCain team called the Obama campaign’s charges “disrespectful.”

Are you kidding me!!! You can dish it out...but you can't take it. Give me a break. Bill Clinton said it best. If you can't take a hit, don't put the pads on!!!

Sounds like McCain campagine is lying. It was Rush Limbaugh that called her good looking; why are they not calling him sexist?

Once again: All that the McCain campaign has to offer is fake outrage. The difference between McCain and Obama was obvious last night at the CNN/Time Magazine Forum: All McCain had to offer was empty rhetoric and boring blah-blah. Obama, however, had new ideas and plans that will make America better. Please America, don't make the mistake to vote for McCain! American cannot survive another 4 years of the SAME!

Obama/Biden 08

Aren't there any consequences for lying and distorting in ads? McCain's camp has released ad after ad, with lie after lie and distortion after distortion and smear after smear. When is he going to tell us what he's really for? What are his plans and his proposals? What does he plan to do to lead the nation? All I've heard from him is false claims about 'my opponent is a bad guy'. McCain has run his campaign poorly and with a lack of integrity. If he treats the voting public this poorly during a campaign, I don't trust him to serve with integrity either.

With the distortions and ridiculous attacks coming from McCain, the Obama campaign should just put out 2 ads . . one saying yes. . he's too old, the other quoting all the repubs saying McCain doesn't have the temperment to be president. I know they won't do it, but given the smears and faux outrage whenever Obama mentions the time McCain has spent in WA, might as well actually do what you are being accused of!!!

They are both just saying what they hope will turn a few of the American people away from the other and toward them. The truth is irrelevant. This is politics! Lord, help us!

I think people are finally starting to see how cynical and desperate the Republicans are!!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DEBATES....LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Thanks for sticking with the issues that matter to the American people.

Enough! is Enough!

Obama/Biden

Another lie ad by John Mccain and another high road, issue minded response by Barack Obama.... If the majority of American people aren't idiots, I like our chances.

Obama/Biden 08/12

How McCain can claim to be running a campaign on the issues is beyond me, and having the gall to accuse the Obama campaign of being negative would be ludicrous if it were not so pathetic in its transparency.

Even sadder is people are buying into without listening to what each man is saying. One is a politician, and one is a leader. If you have to ask which is which, read or listen to what the candidates have said and stop listening to the surrogates and talking heads at CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc..

Typical political lying.

What a bunch of idiots.

Must be if you throw enough mud some of it will stick.

Why does McCain continue to put out these empty ads? I was an early McCain supporter, but I can't vote for him if this continues. In my heart, I believe this isn't the real McCain – come on, John – bring back the old McCain!

McCain comes out with these ads with half-truths and lies. When Obama responds with the truth they cry foul or "sexism". And did McCain know at the convention that he would be siting on a stage in front of the American people talking about national service when his cohorts were mocking Obama for his community organizing? What a hypocrite.

Nice, way to give only the McCain attack ad. Fair and balanced I guess.

Senator McCain tends to forget things or is not really aware of what things in campaign people are putting out there. He said that he would run an honorable campaign – if his campaign is being honorable I would hate to see what he calls dishonorable. Just think of the ad they ran saying Senator Obama wanted to teach kindergarten children about sex when in reality the bill wanted to teach children about pedophilia.

By all means Democrats, attack. That will show Sen. Obama as the Chicago Pol he is, rather than the ' great change and hope in politics'.

I'm glad Obama campaign is responding with quickly and succinctly. Republicans ads are complete lies and fabrications, it's really kinds sad how many Americans are allwoing themselves to be wooed by Palin and McCain....such a shame that they don't see the truth.

You can put a rookie Harvard grad in this election cycle, but hes still a rookie

Pour it on! Douse the G.O.P. smear machine with a little fire of your own!

ONE NATION

I don't pay any attention to the McCain ads against Obama, I have found so many lies in them, that I ignore them....they should get their facts straight....I find that they are making FOOLS of themselves on all those "incorrect ads." I even put their ads on MUTE or change the channel.....McCain ought to tell ROVE that he is really off base on all his ads that he is making up for McLame.....

NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN/PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is what I am talking about OBAMA get McCain and throw him away! I know some of us Americans are stupid but we can't afford them to be this time. This is getting really crazy playing games with Sarah Palin like the issues don't matter any more. They accused you of being inexperienced now they feel that cocky wacko is? Do the republicans realize the precedence they are setting? Anyone with 2 years so called executive experience will feel qualified to run for the Presidency even if they are the governor GUAM. Talk about hypocrisy at its best. This election is yours and OURS the American people not the lobbyists and big companies. Look at Russia and China for crying out loud they are growing economically at a geometric rate.

Republicans are really stupid!

I too am concerned about the tone of the presidential campaign.
If only someone had suggested a series of town hall meetings.....

After watching Palin's responses to the questions Charlie Gibson asked, the Obama campaign has plenty of new ammunition. She really displayed her ignorance on a wide range of subjects.

It's very evident John McCain is completely out of touch with the American people. It's like he doesn't know what to do. Just look at this man. He cannot tell the truth, he whines about everything, he's a fraud.
He needs to retire to one of his 7 or 8 houses.

Now you guys must be kidding! Palin belittled "Community Organizers" and Obama GOP convention and you backboneless individuals won't own it, worst of all your leader McCain at the interview with Judy (SP)had the gut to pander "Community Organizers", etc ! You guys are shameless!
McCain Flip-Flopping have reach such heights in its lows that is amazing how unreliable McCain is!
Honourable people do stand by their words and acts, obviously it does not apply to Elites like McCain and Palin. What examples are you guys setting for the next generation, is it pack of lies and smears?
McCain used the "pig with lipstick ..." expression without anyone seeing negative but when Obama did GOP propaganda advocates/ministers were all over it! We are no fools, we are watching every step you are taking!

Obama needs to keep hitting those Republican the Reason gore and Kerry Lost is because they did not figh the smears this time we will fight the Smears donate to the campagign

she reminds me of a young teenager cheerleader with a VERY BIG MOUTH. but nothig in her ehad at all.

LETS GET IT ON ...

Palin is truly insufferable! Now she thinks adding yet another war tothe tab is our "obligation." REALLY????

What an ignorant person! It sure says a lot about Alaska that she was elected governor. I used to think it would be interesting to go there. Forget I ever said that!

I prefer a governor who would raise a son who wanted to go to college, not to war. And the daughter and her boyfriend are dropouts. What a record of achievement!

As a disaffected Clinton supporter, I had decided to vote for McCain-but who can do THAT?!

Does that mean I'll vote for the DNC selection process? Or for the racist sexist Obama?

No way. I'm sitting this one out. I have standards, too, Mr. Obama, and they don't include you or Mrs. Palin.

Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, anybody. Yeah, anybody.

haha zing!

I wonder if McCain will ever talk about America's problems and what he wants to do to help Americans; and without his constant cheap talk of America first (he has yet to prove this).

Get at him B...Enough is enough!

All we have to do is sit back and wait,the Republicians are going
to bury themselves. And the lipstick pitbull toting mama ,well
the truth will come out.
NEVER McCAIN/PALIN

I am very disappointed in Senator Obama. He PROMISED us all there would be "No More Politics as Usual" yet he is the ULTIMATE politician...
I wish I could get my money back...

Enough with the ads. Bring on the debates!!! The dem camp looks desperate and confused.

So... what are the issues again?

Remember? Issues? The things the nominees are supposed to be talking about before the election?

We're FIRED UP and READY TO DO BATTLE ON THE ISSUES!!!

John McCain is still all about attacks. lies and scandals...

Come DEMOCRATS, LET'S SHOW THEM HOW IT'S DONE!!!

DONATE! DONATE! DONATE! DONATE!!

McCain you are not a leader . A leader does not need to stoop as low as you have. What does your cut downs have to do with running the country * uck all. Wow. Feable.

You can tell the Obama team is slipping in the polls-
So much for a new kind of politics-
We always knew he was just another Liberal with some ideas and no way to pay for them-
He should have picked Hillary as his VP-
Inexperience and so much of himself - he couldn't do it-
Now he begs the Clintons and Dem Women to help-
He can't make 1 correct judgement call with all the time he had to make it-
He is truly an empty suit-
It's Over–

I love Obama but he really needs to get a new ad team!

The ad that Obama did himself on Change is really good but the other one is so lame! He had run a brilliant campaign so far with the ad team being the only exception. He needs to hire some of Clinton's ad team.

Having said that I think McCain is a man who claims to have honor and is proving that he has none. He is forcing Obama to defend all the lies that McCain is telling and for the most part people just don't follow this election close enough to be able to know that they are lies. Obama has enough truths out there about McCain to bury him .

I pray Obama either get's a new ad team or they step it up a few notches.

Republicans lying and smearing their way into the White House again. The fact that the American people eat up their disgusting tactics with a spoon never ceases to amaze.

McCain has done nothing but release dis-respectful ads...how dare he complain when we fight back.

The difference between these ads is Obama's are clever, and McCain's take quotes out of context and turn them into bold faced lies.

America needs help.if we vote McCain into office,we are in for hell.I cannot believe that we are this stupid.

Omaha, NE loves Barack Obama

Noticed how CNN removed ALL the negative comments made about Palin from bloggers in several articles, or removed entirely.

I am now more and more convinced that a Mc Cain/Palin administration would be worse than Bush.

Obama will bring back the American Dream that has become a nightmare.

Palin's interview.... can you say "deer in the headights"???

She looked nervous and unprepared. I can't believe she tried to link national security to energy. Gibson was right to question her on that because it was a dumb statement that she gave. She was insistent that she was prepared by having power over the national guard. Please!

The Obama campaign is desperate. How sad. This Democrat will be voting for McCain.

This race has degenerated into a mudslinging free for all, spending time and resources on personal attacks rather than address the issues in an intelligent and pragmatic manner. We would have expected as much out of McCain, but Obama who we Democrats attempt to portray as the Messiah of a "new kind of politics" and "change in Washington D.C." consistently shows us that he is not really any different than any other politician. What a disgrace. I will be sitting this election out as I sure won’t vote Republican, but I cannot support Obama either. Obama is a suit filled with ego and hot air and very little substance. And that wife of his, ugghhh...

It's McCain that's desperate: witness the VP from nowhere as an "identity" vote grab, the flurry of attacks. Well, this MOOSE IN THE HEADLIGHTS who wants to GO TO WAR WITH RUSSIA will be his undoing.

My friends, I have morphed into a Carl Rove attack dog, it is not my fault, it is the Barracuda infection.

This is just getting stupid....
It is time for all of them to stop acting like children and to start to discuss the issue and what they are going to do.
Get both campaigns out of the gutter, becuase the country is going down the drain.
One candidate says country first, but he has not said how he is going to do this, and his VP nominee is so green and without knolwdgge she deos nto even know what the " Bush Doctrine" is, and can do nothiong but repeat what she told.
On the other side..we have a VP candidate who says he is not the best choice. make you wonder if he really wants the job, and a candidate that took his eye off the ball and is not discussing the issue with the other candidate fro President.
It is a sad state of affairs in the country....Canada is looking better and better....

That interview with Palin, DID NOT leave me thinking I want her as president or vice president.

The bush doctorine? You are running for VICE PRESIDENT and you dont know the bush doctorine? I disagree with David Gergen, when he said that he felt sympathy for her on that one. This is a big deal, I don't understand why people are thinking she is ok. She has only been to Canada, Mexico, and Germany/Kuwait once...IN HER ENTIRE LIFE. That is like me saying (living in Minnesota), I went to Wisconsin, Mexico and I had a trip overseas. Have you ever met a head of state? " No, but I think a lot of VP candidates may have not either." This is false. This should never happen. She needs to do her homework otherwise on Oct. 2nd, all this is going to come to a screeching halt with Biden. And this coming from someone who was going to vote for them.

I think it's obvious that the Republican's are running scared. They know that Gov Palin is the empty suit. Not a bad person...just not qualified. Their accusations are getting more ridiculous every day.

McCain is so scared to talk about the issues, thats why las night he really had no answer to why his campaign has been negitive

Obama/Biden are whats needed to get us out of this mess

if you Americans are stupid enough to put an other republican
in the Whitehouse you deserve all you get

Palin is an idiot as was demonstrated during the interview with Charlie Gibson. She is no more than a prop that speaks on the campaign trail. If she's qualified to be a VP nominee, a simple reduction in the age requirement would qualify every 7th grader in this country. As for McCain's age, well, age alone is not really the issue. The real problem is his physical and mental condition for his age. I key and submit these words with the certainty that he will never read them since computers are just too complicated for that throwback.

The Sad story is when Gov Palin who in a intereview said that tough sanction against Russia may be needed.. She really does not understand the world as it is.

You can not threaten sanction again another super power such as Russia during a election yea r. Now this is some that you bring up to NATO and for some that congress and the president that should take about not some one that does not even have the knowledge of what the VP actualy do!!

She is truly an AIRHEAD with a pretty face..I have seen many people elected on even less..

Go ahead grandpa and your bnext wife..

The republican party needs to give it a rest and focus on the issues. This is unbelievable! If we can't take McCain/Palin serious, how in the hell would the rest of the world. Stay on the path of the issues and I guarantee, Obama/Biden will win the election. McCain is acting like a grumpy old man and Palin is acting like a ditzy receptionist from the 70's "WKRP" tv show who think she is more important than she is, give me a break!! Ughhh!!!

Obama = change..........nope.....just another person running for the White House.

Is 3 weeks enough training for an interview.

Deference, why? Is this what we will say to foreign adversaries?

"Go easy on this one, she is a girl, and pretty new to boot."

PLEASE.

A Pit Bull that needs to be pampered, no less.

How about CNN report on the falty MILLIONS of voter ballots that the McCain campaign mailed out to Ohio and North Carolina. Media, DO YOUR JOB.

The Sad story is when Gov Palin who in a intereview said that tough sanction against Russsia may be needed.. She really does not understand the world as it is.

You can not threaten sanction again another super power such as Russia during a election yea r. Now this is some that you bring up to NATO and for some that congress and the president that should take about not some one that does not even have the knowledge of what the VP actualy do!!

She is truly an AIRHEAD with a pretty face..I have seen many people elected on even less..

Go ahead grandpa and your bnext wife..

DING DINIG DING .....

The fight begins.

PALIN IS A COWARD AND A LIAR... and so is John McCain for running such an ad – what about the real issues facing the American people, and the global economy for that matter??? What about accountability? Healthcare? And now we are engaged in 3 poorly planned WARS??? Plus sanctions against Russia??? Who is buying this crap?

And why isn't Karl Rove in jail?

The republicans are finished, and this kind of desperation just shows you.

Please vote for America, even if you choose Barr or Nader or write in Hillary's name. Keep the republicans OUT OF OFFICE!!!

PLEASE OBAMA CAMPAIGN DONT TALK ABOUT PLEASE BE ABOUT IF THEY ATTACK U COME BACK TEN TIMES HARSHER DO NOT RELAX. THIS IS FOR OUR FUTURE THIS GUYS ARE PHONIES I CAN BELIEVE I EVER VOTED TO THIS REPUBLICAN PARTY

Mccain's campaign is a dispicable circus freak show and I cannot WAIT until November when they get their reality check!

McCain is a wimp for hiding behind a woman. Secondly, if Sarah Palin can't take the heat of an election whe should go back to Alaska where it is nice and cold.

obama should never mention sarah palin at this point. mccain is trying to get him on attack of her and this takes him off message. mccains ad is rediculous and makes him look like he is defending his daughter instead of running a race for the whitehouse! biden should be the one to go after palin. with obama attacking sarah it just gives her more importance than what she deserves. remember obama ...it is mccain that you are running against and you are soooo much better than that old fraud!

PLOUFFE - THE ADS SUCK - GET TOUGH OR LOSE

Sure, Meeting with Clintons have put fire in his belley...

Not only is she a liar, so is John Mc90%. That is a fact, but they still put lies on the airwaves. I would like to know, as Americans, WHY do we put up with that kind of politics? Really. It makes no sence to me. John Mc90% has only the same to offer, so he is allowed to say ANYTHING on TV that is TOTALLY unture and proven, to play the uniformned. That fact alone makes me even more to vote for OBAMA.

Ohhh boy – o- boy ...

The GoP is getting frickin' desparate ...

Too funny... Palin was exposed last night on ABC for how weak she really is ... If the election was last week, McCain might have won, he should have waited until the weekend before the election to announce her as his VP pick....

It's all coming apart ... the folks I watched the interview with last night all said she's going to be "dangerous" as a VP ...

Popular vote (not that it matters) will be:
55% – 44 %
Obama

More importantly than the ads, I want to know why McCain hasn't denounced Rudy Giuliani and Sara Palin's comments about community organizers. Last night in that service forum, he should have been called out on that.

It's really irritating watching these ads and candidates trying to pull each other down....

Republicans you have had your way with negative ads throughout this campaign. You cannot have it both ways. Palin and McCain are liars. Everyone has heard their speaches.

She is a "pig with lipstick" and should not be in the next administration. Can we say "Oink! Oink"...

I thought Henry Higgins did a pretty good job of preparing Liza Doolittle for her interview yesterday. Who cares about the country or family values? My money is on Henry Higgins.

the sexism spewing out of the democrats is beyond belief. you think the dnc would have learned after the outrage people had after hillary's brutal treatment. obama is sinking fast, he is becoming unhinged, and so are his surrogates. mccain/palin 08, hillary 2012!

How can Obama criticize McCain for the problems in Washington when his own running mate has been in Washington longer than McCain? Also, what has Obama done to change Washington in his two years in the US Senate? The answer, nothing, he has used those two years to run for President.

Obama is an empty suit.

Country First.

I did not find any depth or thinking in her answer, not a well read person like our present president.

Palin is "good-looking" and she did lie.

obama is right and mccain is full of it,
