[...] 4. The press is complaining that Palin is not playing nice. She won't answer their questions about 1. whether Trig is her grandson 2. if she can prove she didn't ban books 3. whether her glasses are cosmetic and my favorite, 4. how can you be pro-life and hunt? Hey, when was the last time Obama Joe Biden had a press conference? [...]

Like most of you said...we don't know this lady!! There seems to be too much cover up. Even Alaskans don't like her..and she been in their houses and in their pockets. She's puppet and repeats herself, so of course we want to actually SEE her speak on her feet. Right now we can just replay the previous recordings and the are all the same...and I say 'Thanks but no thanks' to puppets.

Are we running blind and deaf? Family (all my American Brothers and Sisters). Iran and Venesulla are Putins puppets, China and N. Korea are observers. We will never stabilize Iraq but we must never leave but keep it as a stronghold in that region. Putin is going to play us into a war knowing that once it's own the observers, China & N. Korea are going to get involved. It's just like on the streets folks you can't show signs of weakness and expect to run things, cause everybody want's to be top dog.

Biden doesn't think Obama is qualified either. Guess he figures he can steer him straight. Like the statement he made about Obama taking his guns? I think he said, "ain't gonna happen." This election gets wierder and wierder everyday. I think when all the attention is on the opponents second string, you have a big problem. The more the Dems. focus on her, the better McCain looks. Obama is #1 and is compared to Sarah Palin, the #2? I can hardly wait for the McCain and Obama debates. Obama needs to study more then 3 days, he needs Hillary to coach him, and then I don't think he can help but to stutter and stammer. The debates are, above his pay grade..Too many drugs in his youth, has affected his brain cells..LOL

Biden is not a new comer dodging the media. It bewilders me how an American running for USA Vice President will talk to foreigners but not to the USA media. Does the McShame No Game campaign have to train her on every aspect of being VP? You people are beyond hilarious. You can't brief someone on the VPs job and everyday task. Experience has to play in somewhere along the line. Oops my fault!! Is that why McCain changed his theme from Experience to Change. First because Palin has no experience and he knows Change is what this country needs. McCain you have more experience and we don't need the kind of change you're promoting.

Biden is not having a press conference because he wouldn't be able to practice plagarism which is cornerstone of his entire career along with the sexist views he's displayed.

A vote for Biden/Obama handcuffs our kids future and ensures that we're firmly on the track to becoming Socialist/Communist state like Cuba.

This isn't American Idol where we vote based on popularlity...use some common sense people...McCain/Palin for our the future of our children

Mike,
A teleprompter is nothing new. It was invented back in the 50's. Most people you see on television that makes long speeches uses a teleprompter. Why do people think Obama have to memorize his speeches? I have never seen this level of ignorance. When you see news reporters talking, most of them have a teleprompter in front of them unless they are just talking. Obama is well capable of talking without the teleprompter. Those type comments are just plain silly.

Biden's press conference schedule is HARDLY the same to Palin's absolute vanishing act when it comes to press availability. Shame on CNN for trying to draw some equivalence between the two.

Palin is an utter unknown to the overwhelming majority of Americans, and her boss (John McCain) is preventing us from getting to know what she's all about.

I expect that kind of secrecy from totalitarians like Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This is NOT how we behave in a democracy, John McCain. Where is your honor? Where is your decency?

It's quite hilarious that someone calling other people idiots on this board goes on to name calling Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Grow up Marc from Indiana ... And as for this 'story', like the American people don't know who the heck Joe Biden is? At least he's not hiding from press at rally's. At least he's not being sheltered from those big mean media people at events. The joke that the McCain camp has turned in to is truly pathetic. There was a time when I could actually consider voting for John McCain .. that was when I actually thought he really DID tell the truth.

Question....Do the paid Obama blogger posts go through moderation? Is it necessary to have hundreds of Obama talking point quoting comments on every topic? Fortunately, your moderation "policy" has pushed the general public off your site.
The Obamabloggers are pretty much talking to themselves now.
One question to all the Obama bloggers who claim that they will win
this state or that state...(Virginia, North Carolina) Anyone wanna make a bet?

I am a OBAMA supporter, I do however respect John McCain for many of the sacrifices he has made for this country. I think he does care, but I just don't think he understands everyday Americans. I think he thinks that everyone who puts forth effort has 7 homes, and 13 cars. When the fact of the matter is, I have a double bachlors degree, and I struggle to make it with the skyrocketing cost of fuel, healthcare, etc etc. We need someone who knows what it's like to pay student loans, home loans, and do things that everyday Americans do.

Also could we stop talking about how the candidates present a idea. McCain reads off little cards and Obama reads a teleprompter. BIG DEAL! WHO CARES! We have bigger issues than that!

I LOVE the fact that Obama chose someone as his VP who isn't a "yes" man, who won't walk in lock step with every position and has knowledge, experience and insight that will both challenge and inform Obama. I believe that is why Obama chose him. He wasn't looking for a "soulmate" he was looking for someone who would help him govern. That takes real leadership, real confidence and real courage.

Why is this news?. Biden has never been afraid to talk with press. He has been interviewed at least 84 times this year alone on Meet the Press, This week,Fox News and other programs. What does Palin have to hide. She is a heart beat from being POTUS and she is afraid to talk with press? She we cut her break because she is a girl? As Hillary once said if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

Is there really anybody out there that can favorably compare Palin's knowledge and experience to that of Joe Biden??? REALLY???
Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, you have to admit that he is far superior in both. Now, yes, I know that the conservatives are in the tank for Sarah Palin...and that is their right. But honest to God, are we, as informed voters, really supposed to just accept McCain's word that Palin is ready.

Forget that! I've heard all I need to know about Sarah Palin. She was a TOKEN on the ticket. The token woman who was supposed to gather up Hillary's disappointed female voters. Only one problem, the Hillary gals are just plain too smart for that.

One more thing...if Obama really wants to create a stir, take over the news channels, and make everyone ask McCain/Palin who...all he has to do is announce some of the people he would include in his cabinet. Maybe, say Hillary Clinton and Colin Powell.

Biden is fearless. BIden is honest. Biden is a real man. Biden knows how to answer questions. Biden is real. Biden is just the best.
Palin is a phoney. Palin is a skilled liar. Palin is a con artist. Palin is trouble. Palin is undereducated for the job.
No one should vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. They are tricking the American public and will wreck the nation if allowed to.
Vote all Republicans out. Do you want Lieberman as Secretary of State and Graham as Secretary of the Treasurey. I think not.

Wait a minute! Don't put Biden in the same pen with Palin. He answers questions, he's been on the talk shows, he's been on television for all of us to see. Maybe his schedule doesn't allow him to do any "news conferences" yet, but he's been there for us. At least we are getting to know this candidate. Palin, we know nothing about. She is like a Cheney. We cannot go down that same road again. Enough! We need transparency, not Palin. The Palin effect is a joke!

Well it's certainly not because Joe Biden is ignorant on the issues. I guess he's tired of talking to the press, when the Republican VP is getting special treatment by the press by not having to answer any questions that are too difficult for her. I've never seen such an unfair campaign in my lifetime. If you can't talk to the press and answer questions, that should tell you something–you're not qualified!

Big Daddy Joe does not need to hide from the media. His silence will be greeted by the media with much scrutiny, but he knows how to handle this sort of thing.

THE MEDIA HAS BEEN HARD ON THE HEELS OF GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN TRYING (AND COMPLAINING) TO GET HER TO TALK ABOUT HER MEETINGS WITH WORLD LEADERS? WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO KID? THE MEDIA INTEREST IS SELF-SERVING AND WILL USE PALIN'S REMARKS AGAINST HER.. IS IT NOT OBVIOUS THAT SHE IS GETTING THE VIEWS OF WORLD LEADERS AND HENRY KISSINGER IN PREPARATION FOR HER DEBATE WITH BIDEN. INCIDENTALLY, IS THERE A RUMOR THAT BIDEN MIGHT WITHDRAW THE VP SPOT IN FAVOR OF HILLARY.? CONSIDER BIDEN'S RECENT COMMENT THAT HILLARY IS A BETTER CANDIDATE THAN HIMSELF. AND HIS OFF HANDED CONTRADICTIONS WITH OBAMA'S COMMENTS ON THE AIG BAILOUT. AND OTHER TIDBITS WHICH CRITICS SAY ARE JUST THE TRUE BIDEN. IT WOULD INDEED BE A BOMBSHELL IF JOE BIDEN WITHDREW FROM HIS VP SPOT AND LET HILLARY IN AS THE VP CANDIDATE! THAT WILL BE MOST ELECTRIFYING THAN ANYTHING IN AMERICAN POLITICS.

Yah, yah, yah. Obamaites are full of excuses for Biden as usual. It's standard operating procedure for Dems to have one set of rules for themselves and another for everyone else. Given Biden's well documented history of gaffs, Obama has put a clamp on any ad libbing on his part. Dems you know it, so stop whining about Palin. And when is the last time Obama has talked to anyone without a teleprompter?

A key point here: Biden has been on the Sunday news talk shows about 100 billion times. For Palin it's ZERO. We know pretty much where Biden stands on just about every issue. Or if you don't know it's fairly easy to Google it. If you Google Sarah Palin, the main result you're likely to get is "lipstick." This is shameful journalism. CALL HER OUT newsmen and women! The GOP is trying to hide her, afraid for their very lives if we'll find out what she's really made of. McCain, king of the Keating Five (remember that fiasco, newsmen and newswomen?) should retire and Palin should go back to Alaska and her "First Dude."

It is amazing how some of you say Obama will lead us to the food stamp, unemployment or welfare line. During the Primaries, the candidates would visit towns all over our Country and would interview people of all races that suffer financially poor by the Republicans administration (including McCain 95% voting with Bush) being in the White House. There homes had holes in the roof, floors and walls. I can remember this white couple who said they had worked all their lives and when the only manufacturing company moved over seas, they cried for days (yes, they were receiving food stamps, medicade, had visit churches and food shelters and their unemployment had ended. I say this because, I am a minority and I was taught to LOVE and CARE about EVERYONE. It's a shame that you blame Obama for putting people in this type of situation, when it is ALREADY happening. Do you honestly think a person with 8 houses, 13 cars and millions in the bank really give a d_m about any of us? Hatefulness is a disease and McCain/Palin is NOT the CURE........
