Apparently Failin' Palin did not get the memo to suspend the campaign since she spent time bashing Obama. 2. Now I know why it took you 5 years and 6 six schools to finally get that degree in journalism. Something, you appeared to have missed, do not end a sentence with a preposition. 3. She learned another new word "recuse" in addition to "impactful" in the "cone of silence" and just repeats the same canned answer! 4. "Folksy" is code for stupid, i.e. "I'll try to find ya some, and bring 'em to ya". Well this be her answer to Russia?(YIKES!) 5. Failin' Palin is a "breath of fresh air" alright, every time she opens her mouth, the rush of air from her head is strong enough to cause a breeze! 6. Here’s the deal Sarah, you cannot charm the American people with you wit, if you only have half of one. 7. Forget answering the 3 A.M. call, I am not sure this 2008 human version of “Chatty Cathy” can even find the phone, especially without those highly prized and fashion forward spectacles! 8. And I thought my gene pool was shallow, compared to this woman, I am in the deep end of the pool! Even this writer, who has been known to be a bit snarky on blogs(I consider it a badge of honor), is a human being and as such, you are so pathetic in these interviews, and your total lack of knowledge on anything(other than “field dressing a moose“) is so appalling, you ALMOST illicit a human reaction of pity.

To roughly paraphrase, Mccain said it was irresponsible for Obama to talk about going into Pakistan and than we need to do other things in regard to that country? Was it not Obama who explicitly said that if Osama Bin Rotten (my term for him, sorry) was in Pakistan that we should seek him there? So Palins thoughts are in line with Obama on this? Am I wrong on this topic? I think that for some of this worlds' situations Obama/Biden/Palin/McCain might have similiarities and only present it in different contexts. No presidential nominee will take a anti-war stand for fear of losing the majority of americans; while I feel that Obama is closest to wanting to end the Iraq war, I don't believe he will actually say how much of a mistake he truly feels it is that we went there. Rather than flame McCain/Palin, I am trying to be a bit more patient and listen between the hostile nature of politics. When you read certain peoples' comments on CNN/FOX etc it reeks of stubborn self-rightousness rather than having any sort of intellectual curiousity or possibly admiting to being wrong? This ain't a college football game, I think its ridiculous to root and cheer for Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin like they are the next American Idol. After the next president is elected, we still as a nation have to come together to solve our issues. Which unfortunately I thought would happen after 9/11 but it seems that people are more concerned being individually safe or even worse, being 'right' rather than viewing our nation as having a common dream. Maybe I am too optimistic that our country can reach its full potential. If palin made such a comment is that not a complete contradiction to what mccain said about pakistan?

Pallin is a straight talker and speaks with real meaning, not confusing fluff. Why all the haters? She may not be as eloquent as Obama, but the substance of what she has to say is not far off. Obama just talks and talks, with nothing substantive ever coming out (I need to check with my committee advisors does not count). At least she gets to the point and speaks in a way that people can understand. Remember that big group of voters in the rust belt who voted for Hillary – not exactly the type of people who like people that talk like lawyers. Pallin is a straight talker and speaks with real meaning, not confusing fluff.

Those who served with him in the Navy say he treated black sailors with disrespect and scorn. His collection of off-color jokes are riddled with racist words and sentiments. Advisors have toned down the raunchy rhetoric of his early years in Congress but close aides say his attitudes have not changed. McCain's campaign strategy seeks to raise racial fear about Barack Obama, the first African-American with a serious shot at the Presidency of the United States. McCain opposed making the birthday of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King a national holiday. During his 2000 campaign for President, he told reporters on his "Straight Talk Express: "I hated the gooks (North Vietnamese). I will hate them as long as I live." Katie Hong of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, who reported the remark, wrote: It is offensive because by using a racial epithet that has historically been used to demean all Asians to describe his captors, McCain failed to make a distinction between his torturers and an entire racial group. It is alarming because a major candidate for president publicly used a racial epithet, refused to apologize for doing so and remains a legitimate contender.

You can make a case for either man being qualified to be president, but the possibility that this woman is a heartbeat behind a 72 year old cancer survivor clears the slate in favor of Obama.
