Only visited Mexico and Canada - on vacations. Visited troops (no foreign leaders) in Kuwait. "Can see Russia" from her home state. Seriously, people. Does this person really have what it takes to negotiate with foreign leaders? She may be great at shooting the breeze with a Wal-Mart greeter, but we are talking about being a heartbeat away from the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES here! To all Palin lovers - snap out of it!! Maybe if we were in a time of solid world peace would it be OK to have someone with ZERO foreign policy/relations credibility, but that time is not now. Doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is.

An astounding 4 trillion dollar increase in the national debt - now 9 TRILLION dollars! It threatens all of us left unchecked - let's vote to fix this. Palin is being used, and willingly going along with the shell game being played on the country. Most of us have been to more foriegn countries than Paylin. The minimum requirement For running for office she meets, as most of us do. I would rather have more intelligence than less, more education than less, and a better plan than a worse plan. If we apply that LOGIC, we will all benefit from the outcome. We expect this, and we are taught to strive for this. This election WILL be a referendum on the state of mind of the American people. I personally believe more people will vote based on choosing the best qualified candidate. I don't believe the less educated, worse plan for pulling this country out of this nose dive will succeed. Popularity, fiscal ignorance, and a desire to continue trying to occupy every country who doesn't accept our way of life is not the answer. The USA is not going to rid the world of a mindset of individuals estimated to be as large as 1/3 of the U.S. population. We are not going to put Americans back to work by adding CAFTA to the job vacuum. If you seriously consider these simple points, you will know in your heart who you should vote for. What happens in the voting booth is all up to you. It is absolutely unbelievable that the American voter is so confused by this presidential race.

The last 8 years is proof of that. Sara Palin did not have a scripted speach in front of her this time and it really showed. However, Republicans will blame it all on Charles Gibson. It was not Palin fault she could not handle some basic questions about what kind of Vice President she would be. What a typical Rush Limbagh like reaction to this interview. Rush, Hannity and the rest of the conservative talking heads have taught Republicans that it is so much easier to shift or deflect blame for republican failures on others. Nothing is ever their fault. The economy, the mortgage crisis, unemployment, Iraq, inflation is all someone elses creation. Never mind the fact that republicans have been in charge of all components of government the last 8 years. They will blame the democrates because they had a one vote majority in Congress. They don't want you to know that they have either filibustered or had Bush veto any changes proposed by the democrates. It is time to vote out the irresponsible republicans from the White House, Vote out the obstructionist republicans from the Senate, and anywhere else you can boot them out from. Unless you are happy with the state of our Nation. Vote for a new direction. Vote out the failure and incompetance of the Republican party. Republicans can never take the blame for anything!

How many states has she visited prior to her nomination? How much time has she spent in Washington DC? My guess would be not many or much. I lived in Alaska for a year and a half and during that time, I realized how out of touch with the 'Lower 48' many of the people and policies are there. Do we really want someone talking foriegn policy with other nations that may not even know her own country very well? I haven't heard any mention of how or if she would be able to adjust to life in DC. The adjustment to a move to the "Lower 48" for Alaskans is often a challenge and Govenor Palin didn't even want to move to the City when she was elected as Alaska's Govenor. How are she and her family (most of which have never lived outside of a 7,000 person town), going to adjust and will she be ready to run a country under those conditions? The move out of the tundra and into the heat of DC has the potential to take it's toll on anyone. Remember that the VP is a representative of our Nation and should be able to represent us well. Can you imagine the laughing stock that the US could become, with the beauty queen and the self-proclaimed "First Dude" (with no college education that I am aware of) representing us at UN and other international functions?

There are too many inconsistencies with her record from global warming, her trip to Iraq, earmark spending, and the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. The Republican base only began to rally around Senator McCain after her nomination, which questions the base's loyalty to their Presidential candidate. What frightens me is if Senator McCain is elected, Govenor Palin would be the next person in line should something happen to Mccain. She is far too under educated to lead the United States. Her selection appears to be a ploy on the part of the McCain campaign to win at all cost, even at the expense of the American people. I hear more ploitical rhetoric fron the GOP candidates, more devisive remarks about Senator Obama, and less specifics on how McCain and Palin would lead the Country into the future.

Did John actually know that his running mate is not being too honest about her claims such as her trip to Iraq to visit the troops? If Sarah is an agent of change as she claims she is, who will shake up Washington if she gets there, why does she allow herself to be muzzled by the political handlers of her party who admitted "...this is our campaign and we will do what we think is best..." or something to that effect? As a woman, I am so insulted by her meek submission to the handlers running the campaign, who, no doubt will run Washington if this team is elected. I am scared for the next four years... But there is hope. There are more intelligent and concerned citizens in this country.

Governor Pailin never claimed she was there, so you ask a confused staffer and now make a big case. Hey CNN, we know you have never made a mistake by one of your staff. Wildly inflated crowd estimates. The estimates I have seen in the Washington Post for the Fairfax, VA were in the 15,000 range. Did Senator Obama's' estimate of 10,000 at the Nissan Pavillion were also 'wildly inflated as I saw a number of 8,400. Were the Nielsen ratings also inflated? Can you guys do a fair job? It is very apparent that you favor one candidate. You have not asked the same questions or question with the same intensity Senator Obama's 'problems' You have taken now longer to question some silly questions about Governor Pailin (she sold the plane for a loss...when was the last time anyone sold an airplane or a car for a profit?) than the time you spent questioning Senator Obama about Reverend Wright, about his 'terrorist' connection, his home purchase, etc? Your vitrol at being wrong in guessing Senator McCain's choice of Governor Pailin, plus your wanting to be 'cool' in backing an African American candidate (even an inexperienced one) instead of looking at the issues. If Governor Pailin is unqualified, then Senator Obama is unqualified for the same reasons (two years experience), if Senator McCain is 'old school', part of the Washington establishment, etc, then Senator Biden is also from the same cloth...what 'change' are we talking about. When Senator Obama made his choice fpr VP, he went back to the 'establishment', when Senator McCain made his choice for VP, he went for the most popular governor in the US, who happens to be a female...now who proved they are seeking change? CNN and other news media (both liberal and conservative) seem to be in a feeding frenzy, just to get higher ratings. Both campaigns have made errors and given out wrong/incorrect/distorted information. Your job is to report the true facts and not editorialize.
