If I wanted to see a further demise of the USA, I'd gladly vote for McPalin, but personally, I am looking forward to a long life here and I'd like my children to have a national history that they can be proud of. All GOP clowns should take this opportunity to exit stage left…

I agree with Cambpell Brown, it is a sexist they way the McCain camp treats her.

Can't she state her own feelings on issues instead of just saying "what ever John McCain says".

Are ready for war with Iran? If you do, McCain/Palin is your ticket.

She answers questions just like the beauty pageant contestent she is, smiling to the camera and that dumb waving of the hand.

Palin is an empty suit with a pageant crown…and repugs are regreting thier choice.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08/12 America needs you!

WHERE DID MCAIN FISH THIS GOVERNOR FROM? LOOKS LIKE THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END! FOLKS SHOW ME THE SHOT-CUT TO MARS!

Anyone who is impressed with Palin needs to do some more thinking. Read this sentence out loud.

"I think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will lead to further security of our nation, again, because the mission is to take the fight over there. do not let them come over here and attempt again what they accomplished here, and that was some destruction terrible destruction on that day. but since September 11, Americans uniting and rebuilding and committing to never letting that happen again."

She has been thinking about this for weeks now and consulting with the best minds McCain could find, and this is the best she can offer.

How long, O America, will you fall for this crap?

From the comments on here Palin must intimidate alot of these women!

To PALIN NO ONE IN THEIR (right) mind is IMPRESSED WITH YOU AT ALL!!!!! Your not even a good topic anymore, our country is financially broke, and you keep getting asked questions, that my 8 year old can answer better then you. Why don't you go back to Alaska your just not ready for this type of Political arena.

I'm sorry, and No Thanks No Palin

You couldn't make this stuff up. Maybe, just maybe the
witches are still hounding her…….. Pathetic!!!!

Oh Lord!

I listen, I try to be positive, I watch, I try to give her the benefit of any doubt that I might have. I am sorry to say this woman is not ready to be VP of the United States & anyone that thinks she is has no idea of what they are talking about…I do not care if she is the Gov. of Alaska & a previous Mayor, & how much executive experience she says she has that does not make her qualified to be VP….and anyone that can see or hear should know better, this woman maybe smart & be a good Gov. but she is not suited or qualified for the VP slot…

community of new york - lol.

do you realize sarah that we are spread so thin because we 'took the battle over there' instead of here, that we more than likely cannot defend ourselves in our own soil if anything God forbid happens?

by the way, iraq had nothing to do with what happened on 911.
it is bush's war, his way alone. unfortunately, we pay for it by the billions a day.

Palin like Bush and McCain still didn't get the message on taking the fight to "them". Iraq isn't the "them" who attacked us as Palin opens her mouth unintelligently and proves she is no quick study on foreign policies and these weren't tough questions. McCain and Palin both are poorly educated and unqualified to run our country, we've got enough problems without them.

I'm an Obama supporter but I love this woman. I think she's intelligent, personable, loveable, and has a fantastic ability to understand this complicated system.

Don't care what y'all think. I think she's fantastic, just wish she was on Obamas side.

She is still hiding. GOPs, no more secrecy please. I'm tired of secrecy and lies. Please put country first and stop lieing and stop hiding your candidates.

Mike from Texas - you are an idiot. Honestly - this country went to hell after the democrats took control of the White House and congress? Really? Really.

Seems to me like we're in hell right now and you can thank YOUR president and his corrupt cronies for that.

You need to educate yourself and quit listening to Rush and O'Reilly.

Those were short issues with no content, not the detailed, meaningful explanations one might get from Biden.

OMG! She's a nut case.

Now we see why Camp McCain is going to try to finesse postponing and later outright canceling the VP debate.

Thanks for the laugh - it's so much fun reading the middle school blather from democrats as they foam at the mouth

40 days to election day,the republican vice presidential nominee is taking questions for the first time .
mcgimmick/palin 08 for the campaign to nowhere

Wow, Palin can't even speak in complete coherent sentences with proper subject-verb agreement……………………………

Every time this woman opens her mouth, stupid falls out…

Today is November 5th: "Now boarding flight 962 to Anchorage. Paging customer Palin….Customer Palin? Ah, sorry only middle seats in economy left for your flight back to Alaska. Thanks for visiting. Buh-Bye"

Let me see…which Vice President said: "The Vice Presidency isn't worth a bucket of warm spit!"

I'll bet Ms. Palin can say that! Warm spit! Isn't that a drink in Alaska?

I have always cringed, and been afraid to travel overseas, since the first time I heard the Republicans use the term "fight them over there and not here." I'm sure our friends in Spain, France, the UK, and elsewhere, to whom the fight has been taken by the terrorists, scarcely appreciate our cowardly and selfish perspective. Maybe it goes along with all the other reasons the world is crazy angry with us.

McCain for Pres. ?? if she is so smart how come she can not answer any of the questions asked without sounding like she has not got an education? I have only a 2 year college degree that by the way took 1 college and 2 years to get raising 3 kids and working a full time job and I can answer questions asked without this kind of problem. I was just pondering your statement

Some people need to be hit in the head with a 2 x 4

Sarah, Iraq DID NOT ATTACK US.

What part of that do you not understand? She is living in denial…

Memo to Sarah…. Only speak when we tell you to, you know your just a symbol to fool the independents. When you do speak, it's to say only what you've rehearsed.

Oh wow, she visits Ground Zero 7 years after the fact. Is this trip to New York like her third or fourth time out of Alaska? I just can't seem to remember. Maybe she can look that up and bring me the answer later.

Lol. I laugh at this woman. What a joke!

Obama/Biden 2008

Oh please. There are NO "Hillary Democrats" supporting Palin.

I am a proud american of african decent. I will honestly tell you, I have never voted for anyone simply because they are african american. I hope women will consider their choice as carefully. The excitement I've shared with my son and neice, of this historic campaign has turned to shame. There are easily 4 women more qualified than this woman in each party. Shame on you John McCain! "Suspend your canidacy", "Economy is fundamentally strong", V.P. pick, " I walked the streets of Iraq withouth troop support", Fought to deregulate wall street, Supported Iraq war, Keating 5, Furiously faught an MLK holiday, Numerous angry outburst! What more proof do YOU need concerning his judgement ? What are we leaving our kids?

"Moose in headlights"

She did fine. She didn't say anything that any republican hockey mom on the street wouldn't also have said, but she did just fine.

staged and scripted….Standard Operating Procedure.

Wow, Sarah Palin…You mean a "Journalism" major (notice I did not say graduate because I'm frankly doubting that) can only handle four questions at a time?

if we as a nation, put this woman a heart beat away from the presidency, then only God can save us all, for we will beome the laughing stoke for the rest of the world. watching her speak and reading her transcripts explains why the McCain campaign is creating all this drama so they can postpone the debate. Even my five year old daughter is more coherent with the English language than this woman. she is even worse the Bush.

And this is somebody who is supposed to be ready to lead? Notice she fails to discuss any of her answers- maybe because she is clueless!?!? All she does is essentially rephrase the question and say yes or no!

She is naiive…
Whenever she answer a question, she looks stupid:
She said we should fight Russia if it attacked its neighbour Georgia
She could not answer a question this morning on the role of the lobbiest who is heading her campaign…

Mitt Romney could have been a much better choice. Now I have to vote Obama/ Biden

You know what- I have been to Ground Zero, being a New Yorker I remember it before it was "Ground Zero", I almost lost my brother on 9/11, and we all watched as we lost thousands of innocent men, women and service members.
I have also watched as people have basterdized the memory of 9/11 and its victims as a Political ploy- the video showed at the RNC turned my stomach. We SHOULD remember those victims, and we SHOULD remember the lessons learned in that day… but we shouldn't use it as a ploy for Politics- that is just disgraceful. 9/11 has been used as the excuse for the war in Iraq, has been used to incite fear in the American people…I am glad she went to see Ground Zero but as usual with Republicans she has completely missed the point.
How about -why has no monument been erected yet- oh b/c of corporate BS…how about why are their fire fighters and police men who are not receiving proper care and are suffering with ailments caused my the recovery efforts durring 9/11.
I am so SICK of Republicans using 9/11 as "their cause"- Please just stop!!! You want to go to war, you want more people to die that is your own cause, but do not piggy back it on the tragedy of 9/11… those families have suffered enough!!!

NEWSFLASH to Sarah Palin- Our presence in Iraq has only further threatened the US as well as neighboring countries and caused further expansion of Terrorist regimes… so wrong answer!!!

Obama/Biden 08 Change we need!!

Continuation of the Bush doctrine. Take the fight to them, wherever that may be, and take the fight to anyone we think may be thinking about whatever it is we think they should not be thinking about.

I suppose this means then that we are getting ready to invade Iran, N Korea, Spain, Russia, and who knows where else.

We are going to have to implement a draft if we are to the the world's policemen and their holy crusaders.

I would have to say to all instead of bailing out Wall Street try bailing out the American people. From my calculations 700 Billion Dollars could relieve 140,000,000 American families of their debts by $5,000.00 per household. Try that figure instead.

This lady is a train wreck. This has got to be some kind of twisted political joke.

Brain-dead cow. I hope everybody figures it out sooner than November.

Sarah Palin has an below-average education and her lack of life experience is evident in the way she speaks. With all due respect, intellectual capacity is much more imortant that experience. People who started Google, Apple, MS, etc. did not have great experience. They were smart.

She can't handle even the simplest of questions without a "Miss America" type answer. Come on folks, we need an intelligent person that knows our political system and is up on current affairs. She doesn't have a clue. And it's not her fault. The Republican Party is responsible for choosing her with her lack of wit and a trail of dirt a mile long.

"take the fight over there" ? For your information Sarah, these same people you call TERRORISTS where strong allies with America when Afghanistan was invaded by the Russians. But, now they are TERRORISTS because of failed policies of our administration. An unjust war is no war at all. These crazy terrorists are attacking america because of our troops till present in their lands and killing civilians and innocent people. what kind of War propaganda are you advocating?

I can't wait until Biden gets to rip her a new one!

Sarah….just ONE MORE QUESTION.

Do you feel sorry for Hillary YET ?

obamanuts, it's going to be a long four years of suffering from Carpal Tunnel if you guys keep jumping in to make a comment on everything this woman does now as a candidate for the VP and when she eventually becomes VP. It'll be fun just reading your deranged comments. Lol

Why is she scared of telling the truth?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska– An Anchorage Democratic Representative wants the Alaska State Troopers to find out if laws are being broken by anyone attempting to convince witnesses not to testify in an inquiry of Gov. Sarah Palin.

It's the latest allegation in what has become a bitter dispute between the Palin administration and the Legislature, something the McCain-Palin campaign calls an absurd political maneuver.

Theeenk you - Theeenk you

Sarah Palin is a very smart woman who has been in elected office for over 10 yrs. I hope people will start listening to her instead of looking for things to make fun of or twist to try to prmote their candidate.

PLEASE!!!!!! I BET I CAN GET ELECTED TO OFFICE IN ALASKA TOO!
THE ONLY REQIUREMENTS ARE B.S DEGREE AND THE ABILITY TO SHOOT A RIFFLE.

I Am Not Impressed At All With Palin! I Just Dont See Why People Are Excited About Her!

Good grief!!! That term 'MooseBarbie' really said it all…

If Obama said Americans should eat their babies. Obama supporters would be eating their babies.

Palin is a brilliant responder. BRILLIANT.

You can try in vain to keep spinning Obamas bimbo smear tactics upon her. The only Bimbo in this campaign sports an afro.

How can she expect to be one step away from being the leader in chief of the free world without taking questions from the national press. Does she think this is just another beauty contest? I don't anymore about this woman than i know the first day she was announced as John Mccain V.P nominee. It's been more a month. Come on!!!!!!

Someone needs to tell her that the campaign has been suspended. Apparently she's not on McCain's "need to know" list.

To real news jounalist,Troopergate,witness-tampering.stay on this.

What a joke…I am so unimpressed…What gets me even more worried or saddened is that when she met with world leaders (Pakistan and Afghanistan) all they talked about were kids and her beauty. I can really see her being a great diplomat when it comes to a world crisis…what a joke…

no mcain, no palin, no way. she has been the vp nom for how long and this is the first time she has answered questions, and her answers were pathetic…to say the least. she said the same thing over and over, oh and a 'no comment' . please answer me this, why would the american people want a maverick for pres? a maverick does what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants reguardless of what anyone says. mccain surely is a maverick…..he suspended his campaign and resch the debate…reguardless of the american people WANTING to hear what he has to say…. yep a true maverick!

On Bill Maher's "Real Time" last Friday, Naomi Klein, author of "The Shock Doctrine–The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" said that Palen is Bush in drag. She doesn't look like him, but she sure thinks like him. If we Americans are stupid enough to vote for "Same-O Same-O", we deserve what we'd undoubtedly get!

"This is her 2nd time."

It is? When was the first time?

WOW! FOUR WHOLE QUESTIONS!

I cannot believe this person is a serious candidate to the vice presidency of the United States. It absolutely shocks and boggles my mind. It honestly goes to show that McCain is an impulsive, shoot-from-the-hip decision maker.

Do we really want another D-student running our country? Look at the last one did to this great country. They've virtually collapsed the government!

May God save us from McCain and Palin!

If it is so important for every American and every world leader to go to Ground Zero, why didn't she go to Ground Zero the other time she was in New York? I resent Sarah Palin for exploiting my fellow New Yorkers' deaths on that tragic day.

As president, neither candidate can do the things they're promising. Congress makes all laws. The President can only make suggestions to Congress. Since both candidates are currently in a position to do something about our problems, neither bimbo had done anything about them.

If you want a promotion in industry, it is important that you do your current job first. At least McCain is returning to Washington to work the problem. Obama says he doesn't need to? If he won't do his current job, what kind of a president would he make?
How about NO President for the next 4 years since both candidates are worthless.

I wonder when McCain had the time to coach her in answering the reporters questions? He seems to be so busy saving the world right now! What arrogance to think that HE will be the deciding vote on the bail;out vote! He might sway some of his republican cronies to vote one way or another, but he is not the GREAT DECIDER as he thinks he is. He is so full of himself and thinks he's so important! Can't you just picture him with a cape waving behind him, flying into Washington to save the day?????????????????? Give me a break! The only reason he is pulling this stunt is to give himself more time to come up with even more lies and distortions about Obama during the debate. I don't expect him to even show up at all. He will pull a McCain temper tantrum and show the world what he's really like! David Letterman finally realizes what a liar he is! He cancelled his show saying he had to get back to the capital, yet he had time to talk to Katie Couric! Such honesty we're seeing in him! He's losing and he cannot stand it! He will go to any lengths to draw attention away from Obama and towards him! He's a sad pathetic old man who is out of touch and should not be in any position of leadership right now. The country is finally waking up to this fact.

This woman is clueless! No wonder McCain wants to postpone her debate with Biden!!! She is not able to answer questions with any type of substance. She grins and answeres with her typical memorized stump lines. Just like she did with the Couric intervie…she repeated her answer twice using the exact words! She is so scripted! Bless her heart…she is way over her head and she needs to go back to Wasilla…she does not belong on this national political stage…McCain was drowning and grasping for air when he chose her as his vp!!! Anyone who watches the news or reads could answer in the same generic way (actually many of us would be more knowledgeable!).. She is a joke! So is McCain! He is just as incapabable of making a clear concise comment beyond his political b…s…! He does not want to debate Obama despite all his whining about wanting to have these town hall debates. He would have postponed those as well. He is such a loser…a sore loser. Why would anyone in their right mind vote for these two republican idiots?

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!

Our ears have been burning to listen to what she has to say that is not a script. Four measly "deferential" questions? Answer: Too little, too little, too late.

Well. she fails again.

Fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here". As with Bush and McCain Palin has no understanding of the terrorists organizations who love having us fight them over there so they don't have to fight us here. Why? They have a paid for by the U.S. battle ground in Iraq to use to train new recruits. They can blend in withthe population over there making it difficult for our troops to determine who they are fighting and who they are not. They do not have extended supply lines by fighting over there and can rearm themselves at will by way of Iran, Syria and others. They can take pot shots at and kil Amercians (the troops) without having to bother with a strategy to cross U.S. borders and they can do so at will, rest awahile, and then come mout of thw wood work to attack our troops again. They can use Iraq and Afghanistan to garner world support and sympathy when innocents become the victims of errant U.S. bombings. There are so many reasons why the terrorists (and insurgents) would rather fight us over there rather than here it is truly elementary. But Palin uses that same typical BS line from Bush and McCain, fight them there so we don't have to fight them here, it clearly shows she is a robot totuing Bush and McCain talking points who understands nothing about the war against terrorism.

Okay, I am so over this chic presscore and you should be to. Isn't there a moose somewhere that needs to be hunted?

Where's the story about Obama's new format for Friday's debate if the OLD MAN is a NO SHOW. I think it's brilliant. If the Mac doesn't show, BO is turning the debate into a Town Hall meeting, just like Mac wanted. Too bad he won't be there to join in the fun.

Checkmate!

Obama/Biden 08

sarah is a flash in the pan. now she is so 15 min's ago. why is she being protected from the press. give her the oppurtunity to stand and deliver. i'm thinking ditz……

even her answers are vague and broad. she has yet to impress me with her knowledge on anything really. when will her new friends in washington stop hiding her i wonder?

JERSEY JOURNAL: What do you think of bailout package before congress?

A: I don't support that until the provisions that Sen. McCain has offered are implemented in Paulson's proposals.
_____________________________________________________

I wonder does she know what provisions McCain offered. Sometimes I think they are on different pages more so that Obama/Biden.

Sarah Palin's resume:

She is a republican (Check)
She sure is cute (Check)
She can see Russia from here house (Check)

Republican crowd response: She is the most qualified person in the world !!!

Asked about specific examples of McCain economic successes, she told Katie, I will get back with you…

What about the Bush Doctrine? Beat around the bush and talk about as many things as possible with the hope that she could hit on it but alas, no luck, she failed.

Isn't it sad that the fact that she's answering questions from the media for the first time is news itself? If a politician can't face the media ~ how the heck are they suppose to lead the country?

Is it the reporters in their translations, or Palin in her speech, that do not understand the importance of using correct punctuation? As an oral language and writing teacher I am bothered by this abuse of the English language. It does not send a good message to future generations.

To the " McCain for Pres." blogger: You have gotta be kidding me! Listening to hear truly hurts my ears. And making fun of her is NOT hard to do. She does it all by herself.

Sarah!! Sarah!!!! Over here…
Thank you. Sarah, I can see the MOON from my house.
Do you think that qualifies me to work for NASA?

i live in manhattan and walk by the site all the time. no one has forgotten it. no one, even flaming liberals like me, want another attack. our safety and security depends on intelligence, not the iraq war. shouldve made an example of bin laden instead of saddam.

Airhead and I mean just air…

Great - but her job is to stand in for McCain when he is unable to do so. So whats the problem with this Friday?

I tihink she is honestly starting to believe the BS she is talking about

So she can talk! Now was that so hard?

Come on Peter - you're censoring like Sinderbrand

Keating 5
Keating 5
Keating 5

Bring up the similarities or quit calling yourselves investigative journalists.

Theenk you Theenk you (Palin)

Sounds like she running for Miss America and NOT an offical office. Maybe this flys in Alaska but NOT in the lower 48!!! WE are educated beyond high school and want intellegence in our White House, not a beauty queen!!! Her kids are ALL high school drop outs and maybe thats the way they do it in Alaska but NOT in the lower 48.

It wouldn't be so bad that she has such a weak educational background - not all intelligent people go to college. And it wouldn't be so bad if she that her experience is so weak - some people are wise beyond their resume. But she is neither intelligent or wise. This is a huge joke and I can't believe that she's made it as far as she has and that she might be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

I believe Sarah is right in avoiding the press ( if indeed she is) because the press is trying to trip her up any way they can so that the Dems come out in the lead. Sarah is a far better VP candidate than old joe ( with his feet in his mouth) any day. She has the experience and will handle anything thrown at her. However, because she is a woman, she is being subjected to a sexiest bias and a more stringent scrutiny than joe. She is being held to aq different level of attention. How she looks, what she says, her family, her job as govenor, her experience, etc., etc. On the other hand - Joe Biden, who cares what he looks like, how often his foot is in his mouth, his family, his job - how long he's been in the senate - ( ???? what's he done in that time?), etc., etc. Sarah will step out and up to the plate when the time is right. This may not be when the media would like, but soooo what! Get over it. GO SARAH

As A Democrat and an Obama supporter, I want to thank Mrs. Palin for once again demonstrating that she as well as John McCaine are still adhering to the " Bush Stay The Course Mentality " As we continue to pour Billions of dollars into Bush's war even as our country drowns in an economic cesspool. The terroist mentality from the beginning was not to defeat us militarily, But to play to the cowboy " Bring it On" mentality of Bush and McCaine and simply Bankrupt us. They are succeeding.

That wasn't Palin. It was Tina Fey.

I'm not some nut job liberal nor am I some crazy conservative, but if you read her anwers to the questions, the only question she actually answered was the first one. You can be the most ardent conservative, but if you try to defend her answers to the last three questions then you're just playing the same old partisan games; where in your head you know she didn't answer the questions but from your mouth you defend the answers simply based on party.

……….I …..don't…..know…..what …….to …….say!!?

Again all questions evaded except the last one on John Mcain! Palin believes it is only Mcains proposal which should be implemented or NO DEAL!

WHICH PART OF THE WORLD IS THIS?

Well, she gave gorgeously DUMB answers…

Blondes of the world unite! You have been falsely indicted for far too long!

She agrees with with Bush on a war that should have never been waged in the first place. And I don't appreciate her being in my hometown suggesting that we don't want people to forget what happened here. Duh! The whole world saw what happened on 9/11/01. People in Wasilla are probably the only ones who didn't get the memo. Use your scripted, prepped answers until the debate bozo. YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

the way the press is to her i feel that they have been right, when the debate with the idiot comes up they will find out what a brigt person on the gop ticket, biden is like having an anchor.

Here's the problem. The terrorists weren't in Iraq you clueless bimrobot. Second, you are clueless and NO amount of cliff notes, cramming sessions and speed dating with all the leaders of the world will ever get you ready because I believe you lack the fundamentals of INTELLIGENCE. And I also can't wait for the republican senator to come out and tell us that mccain is in the beginning stages of dementia which I am positive he has in the early stages.

Americans need to be careful and not fall for the okie dokearound John McCain and Sarah Palin.

This woman's image and performance to date have been so bad that it is resulting in LOWERED EXPECTATIONS from the VP debate or any interaction with the Press.

Don't buy into that folks. We don't grade on a curve when it comes to the Presidency.

I expect to hold Ms. Palin to the typically tougher standards that every minority or woman executive hasto meet. Now is not the time to elect the "Sweathogs".

So she wouldn't do anything differently for the war on terror?!?!

Oh and it's amazing that she is claiming she won't support the bailout until "the provisions that Sen. McCain has offered are implemented".. last I checked, Obama has been saying those same things for longer and they released a JOINT statement.

While reading the comments, I thought they were talking about Barack Obama for a moment until I realized that they were his followers. What a joke this is getting to be. Your candidate is running for President and he has less experience than Sarah Palin.

McCain for Pres.

….I can only conlude from comment, that you haven't seen Palin's interview with Katie Couric. Palin is failing miserably to be qualified for VP, let a lone a heartbeat away from Presidency. Even Laura Bush agrees, Palin doesn't have enough foreign policy experience.

Interesting! Is it just me or she repeating the answers.
Next question—–> What are Mccain's proposals?
Answer——> uuummmm ummmm its a secret!

I THINK SHE ANSWERED THE QUESTION ON TERRORISM FULLY AND TRUTHFULLY JUST THE WAY 90 PERCENT OF REAL AMERICANS WOULD HAVE. ON THE REELECTION OF THE TWO THIEVES FROM ALASKA I WOULDN'T HAVE ANSWERED EITHER, ITS A LEADING QUESTION BECAUSE EITHER WAY YOU ANSWER THESE SO CALLED REPORTERS WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER HER ANSWER. THE PACKAGE IS WHAT IT IS, NOT THERE YET, WHY COMMENT.

So she agrees with the Bush administration. Take the fight to them, even when they are not fighting us as was the case with Iraq. "Our presence in Iraq will lead to further security of our nation." How?

What she is saying is dangerous and overly simple. She fails to understand the dynamics of international relations, and the dynamics of other people. She also fails to understand the ethical dimensions of using the military in this way. This is unlimited war to create a diversion so that terrorists will attack American soldiers. Palin's world view: us versus them.

We've heard this befroe.

Come on CNN, get it right!!!!!!!!!!

This is her 2nd time.

The thing that really scares me is that if Nobama is elected and the democrats have control of both the house AND the senate then this country is heading for DISASTER!!!!!

Think about it for a moment America.

This countRy went to pot AFTER the democrats took of both houses of congress. The do nothing democratically led congress has an approval rating on ONLY 9%.

The banking committee is led by the democrats.
The SEC is led by the democrats.
2 of Nobamas finacial advisors came from 2 of those FAILED banking institutions, and they made MILLIONs.

**** WAKE UP AMERICA ****

Vote Obama - say goodbye to America, plain and simple.

The questions were asked…. where were the answers?

Nice to see she has learned how to answer questions. Too bad te questions were stupid. Just what answer did they expect when they asked her if she supported the WAR? Please stop asking stupid quetions that require the ONLY ANSWER IS already known. That just wasts time that could have been used to ask a good question. Note she used the same answer to two questions and the answer she gave really did not answer either question but no one asked for a follow up. Too Bad she got away again.

The approach of "fight them over there" reminds me of a guy I used to work with. We had an office in an developing economy and a pretty messy corporate apartment. My colleague used to always put out a bowl of ice cream in the kitchen of the corporate apartment when he went to bed. His theory was that all the roaches would go to the ice cream. He always wondered why that corporate apartment had more roaches than any other apartment in the building.

Wow. It is about time….

2 soft ball questions… not bad. I thought all four questons would have been soft ball questions.

Four questions…

First two, same answer…. "take it to them. Bush was right…war..war…war."

Third question… answer: No comment
Fourth question… answer: "What McCain said."

Boy, I have a better understanding of everything now.

Is it just me or does she make Journalist look incompetent…? I mean she does have that degree…And does she fit the stereotype of a once beauty queen..I mean her anwers are so deep…Like, such as..I wish for world peace…Sickening Palin, just sickening

WOW!!! Four questions!! She's on a roll… is it me or did every answer sound the same?! I guess the one she didn't answer wasn't prepared for her yet!

What the hell did she just say? She wasn't making sense.

Yvonne

SHAMEFUL!!!!!!!

This woman is pathetic. Took 4 questions from press traveling with her.I see how sherp and gutsy she is like Bill Clinton said.

So she still has not answered any questions…

Oh! and did I mention 9/11? it's very important to mention 9/11

Hooray!! The potential Prez of the US of A taking questions from the media!
Palin…YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR DEPTH!

She's such a tool, it's hard to say anything else bad about her; she does just fine in defining how clueless she is (in terms of running an entire country. OMG, If McFart and Pa "me 263 mill for a bridge to nowhere" -LIN get into office, I might have to start practicing the national anthem of Canada.

Hillary Democrat: Keeping focused does not mean avoid the press and being evasive. Ask Hillary…

Hillary democrat,if you liked what you got from those few questions ,your judgement need questioning .what.s your iq

"I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and The Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US or should help South Africa and should help The Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

She answered questions and still didn't give any answers. What provisions does she want kept from McCain's proposal? And, how does taking the fight to a country that does not house the people responsible for 9/11 have to do with preventing another such attack?

Is it just me or does Palin not speak in complete sentences?

Someone should ask her if she thinks the Iraqis are responsible for 9/11.

I tell you this woman is a joke, I would not hire her to be my secretary.

Well there you have it folks! Give her the keys to the White House!

This woman is not qualified for the role. Anyone, man or woman, in their right mind can see that. This is what you get when you choose to pander to the far right and the RNC. No substance, no quality, only someone who tries to memorize a line.

Obama was not my first choice but he certainly is now. I want a strong leader and yes, one who can MULTI-TASK the difficult situations this country faces on a DAILY basis. That is the job description. If you are not fit, if your VP choice is not fit, then you shouldn't run. John McCain made a huge mistake here though I am still not convinced that he alone chose Palin.

It is time for change and all of you right wing nutjobs can take your medicine now or leave. We'll fix the country with or without you!

Obama / Biden 2008 - 2012
The time is NOW!

This woman is an airhead and a dingbat. What would she do without rhetoric and campaign talking points? I have yet to hear anyting from her mouth that was actually her, maybe she should contact her witchcraft hunting pastor.

It's good to see Palin out and about.

Obama: Wait, you can't postpose the debate a few days to deal with a national crisis… I've crammed all week for this debate and I am due to hear myself talk!

Obama = self-absorbed joke who would prefer to run for office than go to do DC and do the job he was elected to do.

These answers are not compelling. Actually there was no answer to one question. I guess she was propped up for these four questions because of the criticism of the photo op whirlwind meeting with world leaders who basically checked her out at her and beamed with admiration. Sorry, I am a woman too!

I know you all will laugh, but mark my words…it's over for Obama. I can pratically guarantee you this, but it's over for the O. Go ahead and start the process to get Hillary for 2012. Barry's going back to IL in January.

News flash!!!

The limited questions and the new McCain interest in the economy has been unearthed for its purpose.

Amazon has confirmed that both have ordered
"Economics For Dummies"

and are hard at thier reading and studying before they answer pre-prepped questions from the pre-prepped press corps.

BTW John, think youll be ready for Friday debate?
Or do you need more time?

It's a little too late to try to add some normalcy to this floundering campaign. Had they treated Ms. Palin as a real politician, who the public knew little about, and allowed her to take questions and speak to the media, they would not be in meltdown mode now.

Palin/McCain—–both not ready for prime time and certainly not ready to lead.

OBAMA/BIDEN - The only choice in this election.

Is it just me or is this now the SECOND time she has claimed that going to war with Iraq was 'taking the fight to the terrorists'?

Theenk You Theenk You !!

Great answers Sarah! She can definitely hold her own. I hope the McCain campaign will let her speak out more often.

I only hope that the MSM (including CNN) will be more unbiased in its nightly reporting. I have started watching FOX News since (believe it or not) they present both sides to each arguement. That is what has been missing with MSNBC and some on CNN.

But again, GREAT JOB SARAH!!!

McCain/Palin '08

Hey "McCain for Pres." - we'd listen to her if she actually SAID anything. Her transcript is above. She says NOTHING. She has NOTHING TO SAY. There's nothing to twist and nothing to ignore. Why the hell do you think she deserves anything other than a good grilling? She wants to be VP, right? She should be scrutinized right down to the last firing scandal.

Wow…permission was granted so that she could answer four whole questions? This is ridiculous…while running for office especially vice president of the united states you should talk to all reporters and answer any and all questions. We, the people, need to know.

Scary to think this woman has a chance to be President.

Simplistic thinking shown here from the-candidate-for-the-second-highest-office-in-the-land Palin. Even my 10 year old grandchild would have offered more depth.

And, does this woman have a problem with repeating the same lines over and over again, or what?

Is it just me or does she talk in circles?

Waaaay too abstract! Give us more substance, and journalists should ask stronger questions! She should have an open press conference, go on meet the press and then we'll judge her!

Really???

Stick to smiling Sara, you don't have a single clue in that empty head of yours.

LOL!! This is so PATHETIC!!!

Obama/Bdien '08

If "Ol' Cut and Run" has seddadled, does that mean Palin will be debating Obama? Good fun.

Sarah Palin should be a guest on David Letterman. Maybe she could explain what’s eating John McCain. I think it’s Sarah Palin and the conservative base. McCain has looked uncomfortable from the moment she was air-lifted into this disaster area he calls a campaign. And, talking about cancellations … Why hasn't anyone brought up the option of having McCain hang around Washington D.C. but still be part of the debate … via satellite? Obama did quite well addressing the CGI in NY while he was in FL. Amazing technology out there. It's 2008. You don't need a stamp to mail a letter. Wouldn't that resolve McCain’s scheduling conflict?

Ok it is now official - she IS as dumb as was feared… Great VP choice Sen McCain. The nation thanks you.

What a joke… You can tell from her statement that she made that her worldview is incredibly small. Then there is the her 'answering' the questions. Two of the answers are exactly the same and then she didn't answer the questions from Politico. The last question pretty much shows she has no idea what is going on with the bailout.

It's scary to think that this women could be very close to the presidency.

Just heard another few stories today on CNN about how Palin is not giving the press access. If CNN wants access, start covering Joe Biden when he gives a press conference or interview—today CNN said he's given dozens. But who would know? Are they covered ? NO! Every night we hear 3 minutes on McCain, 3 minutes on Obama, then 3 minutes on Palin (she can campaign alone, she can speak alone, she can meet dignitaries without an audio track)—and then we hear 3 minutes on Biden, right? NO! The Republicans get their 6 minutes to the Democrats 3 as far as the candidates are concerned. Stop lavishing all this on Palin and give Biden's interviews or news conferences the play. Report that Palin gave the same speech somewhere else and move on. Why did McCain choose her? Why doesn't she speak to the press? Why is he canceling a debate? It's election by marketing!

What questions? I didnt see anything hard that she had to answer but then again the McLAME camp wont let their little baby answer tough questions now will they. The best thing for them to have done was for Mclame to go to washington ( as if he's going to be of any help anyways ) and let Palin run the camp since she's "so ready" for the job. im disgusted with the republicans as an independent.

I don't want that woman representing my country. At least Cheney commands respect.

Hey! Look at that. She answered some questions. Good to know that she's tough enough to answer…not a single question about the many, many things she needs to answer.

I blame the reporters following her for playing such a ridiculous game of slow-pitch softball with their questions. Where are the things that Americans need to know?

The bright lights of the press are blinding. I wonder if she regrets not blinking.

Umm…i don't think this qualifies for VP.

Just as I thought Another Bush Follower. I don't think we can afford another four more years of this. Besides I don't think McCain or Her would make a good President. If he didn't want to debate Obama why didn"t he send her. If she suppose to fill in since she would be his second in command. Of course he doesn't want her to speak. Wonder why that is. IS it because he knows that she isn't qualified. They both pretend to represent us, but they really don't care. Well I voted for Republicans in the primary, but I'm not come NOV. It will be OBama.

I can only hope that they did not quote her verbatum because if so, she not only acts like an idiot…she sounds like one too.

Obama/Biden 08- Change is coming!

The first quote - was this transcribed correctly? I had a hard time reading some parts so that it made sense. Seriously.

Also, I wonder if she know what the provisions supposed offered by McCain are and their implications.

And folks trust this woman to be a hair strand away from the Presidency!?? OMG! I'm scared too death.

If we can't understand what has happened to us in the last 8 yrs then we deserve everything that will happends to us if we elect McCain/Palin.

Sad. Very sad.

Whew what a performance! All of the media were obviously unprepared for her to take questions. You guys are not very good at your jobs are you?

No wonder they've been shielding her all this time.
She can't form a complete, coherent sentence.

Good grief!

Good luck getting an answer.

I'll get back to you, in what sense, etc… - these are not answers, OK. Just so we're clear.

What's the point of going in front of reporters if you're not going to answer their questions?

"I think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will lead to further security of our nation"

*sigh*

Same old strategy from Bush era.
Our presence in Iraq has only inflamed extremist ideology. We're no safer. We made the target on us a bigger, brighter red.

What a robot…go hide Waldo…1-2-3 go….

Her responses:

Take the fight to the terrorists.
Take the fight to the terrorists.
We'll see.
No answer
Whatever John McCain says.

Thank you Gov. Palin. I now have a much better understanding of who you are and how you think. And you have completely answered any questions I may have had about your knowledge and ability to be VP or President of the United States.

Maybe it's just the nerves, but she doesn't seem to have very good control of the English Language. As far as her stance on "taking the fight to the terrorists", I think the American people are getting sick of this endless war for nothing. Yes, find Bin Laden and bring him to justice, but you can fight a war against an invisible enemy.

…aaaw bless her heart, a 3 year old could have answered those questions better.

obama/biden 08

Uh, and I have faith in my abilities, and uh, that type of thing and such, and uh, whatever McCain wants, and uh, I wasn't given an answer to that question, and uh, America is good (MmmmmK) and uh, we are good, and, oh yeah, God loves us all and is behind McCain but not Obama, and um, we'll all dye on November 5th if McCain isn't elected, um the terrorists said so……..um I'm a pitbull with lipstick because I love hockey!!

Go Mighty Ducks!!!!

And oh, we should cancel the debate because I am busy working in Washington, or um, Alaska. Just ask Katie.

Gwen, CA,

…and so are you.

Not sure how it sounded live, but it reads very rote and "OK, can I leave now?"

Short answers; not the windbag type you get from Biden.

Of course there will be 500 negetive responses from bitter Obama operatives?

I had to read this a couple times to try and figure out what she was trying to say. I've been willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it's becoming more obvious to me that this lady is in way over her head here. And potentially a heart-beat away from the presidency…jeeminy christmas.

What!!!!!! And no one called her on the fact that Iraq did not come to our soil on 9/11???? Same McBush tactics!!!! Thanks McPalin

(quote) " I’ll bringem to ya" (Last night on CBS interview)!!!!!

She sounds more like a Parrot with Lipstick rather than a Pittbull.

and the "Community" of New York?!

So basically she didn't really answer any questions - she just spewed out talking points from the McCain campaign.

Wake up America!

O and Joe '08

3 out of 4 aint bad.

I thought McCain AND Palin suspended their campaigns. There they go lying again! And is it just me, but does she not ever really answer anything in her answers?

Pinocchio?

[no answer]

You might as well fill in that response to all these questions, if you edit out the BS.

Happy now Campbell?

Wow. Reading those words….it's so disjointed. She stumbles around looking for the right thing to say, not what she is thinking. She wears a mask.

What are those proposals that McCain wants implemented, This lady knows nothing and neither does McCain. If America elects these 2 the world will be in a great deal of hurt. Far worse then todays mess.

Obama/Biden 2008

"I agree with the Bush administration that we take the fight to them."

ENOUGH SAID!!!!!

She agrees with the Bush Admin. going into Iraq. Iraq was not the battleground………………………WMD……………………..NOT!!!!!

A vote for Mc-no-debate/Palin is a vote for the Bush Administration policies.

Our economy cannot handle that.

She just does not have an original thought on the issues. She is so scripted it is sad and sexist that the McCain campaign will not allow her to say anything of any substance. She has shown she has had plenty to say in the past…..why the gag order all the time? Are they really that distrustful or her intellect? I sure hope not she could possibly be the second most powerful person in our government.
