(CNN) – Sarah Palin said she was not taking a jab at Joe Biden's age or lengthy stint in Washington when recently joking she had been listening to the Delaware senator's speeches since the second grade.
"Oh no, it's nothing negative at all," Palin told Katie Couric Monday in the latest installment of her Monday interview with the CBS anchor. "He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years."
The original comments came at an Ohio rally Monday, when Palin told the cheering crowd, "I'm looking forward to meeting [Biden] too, I've never met him before - but I've been hearing about his senate speeches since I was in, like the second grade."
Watch: Palin goes after Biden
Some political observers found that comment peculiar, given her own running mate is the oldest man ever to seek a first presidential term. But Palin said she was merely contrasting the differences she sees between herself and Biden.
"He's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many, many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years," she said.
Palin was 8 years-old when Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972. (Biden was 29 at that time)

Palin is desperately trying to be something she's not. Thus, making her look more and more foolish.
Sarah had better call in sick Thursday night.
Drilling for oil was invented in the 4th century in China. I wouldnt call that "new energy".
shes the new downer
Coming from Sarah Palin, this choice is an easy one. Go figure!
The energy is clearly wearing down. Elect Obama/Biden 08/12
She running with a geezer and she's making comments about Joe.
Sarah you can't fill Hillary's shoe, Thanks but NO THANKS
Even the Republicans are jumping ship with Palin. They're finally realizing that they need to save their own butts now!!
OBAMA/BIDEN
Caribou Barbie needs to hire Miss Teen Sourt Carolina as her debate coach. Then we can all listen to her tell us about U.S. Americans and everything else. It's hard for me to imagine any lower expectations for her, and I for one, am looking forward to seeing the train wreck. It's the least that she and McLame deserve.
Just say NO to Bush 44.
now...... now ........now..... do katie do , ask her about the Bush Doctrine, or about her foreign policy experience!!!! AND WATCH HOW SHE GOES FROM THE NEW ENERGY TO THE DUMB ENERGY!!! lol!
Let's see if I get this right, Palin has been listening to Biden's Senate speeches since 1972 despite the fact that all Senate speeches have only began to be publicly aired on the radio starting from 1979 with C-SPAN. Maybe in addition to those x-ray eyes that allow her to see Russia from her house, her ears also allowed her to listen in on gatherings taking place clear across the country.
We do have a choice, 21st century Obama or 20th century McCain.
Voters will hopefully decide that they want candidates with some knowledge of the issues. Candidates who know more about Russia than they can see it from their house, candidates who have studied constitutional law and understand our rights under the constitution.
A new energy to bring this country to its all time low...
Thanks but no thanks....
Sarah Go back.......Sarah Go back
We;'ve had many a chuckle and giggle with Palin. However, the laughter needs to stop here, she's now reached DANGEROUS status.
GO OBAMA!
Give me my break which kind of new energy!
May be the energy of lying, shame on her...
Wow... she just never stops putting that foot in the mouth does she? Atleast their spinmasters can be sure of job security with her around... up is not up, but it isn't down either...
NEW IDEAS? ARE YOU KIDDING? YOU MEAN THAT RAMBLING, GIBBERISH YOU ALWAYS SPAT OUT AT EVERY INTERVIEW ARE YOUR NEW IDEAS? NOW I AM REALLY SCARED!!
"He's gout a treemyendous amoont of expeerience ayund, you know, I'm the nyew enyergy, the nyew fayuce, the nyew ideeas and he's got the expeerience based on many, many yeears in the Syenate and vooters are gonna hayve a choice theyur of what eet ees thyat they want een theese nyext foour years," she said.
I don't kynow abyout the ryest of ya but I already made thyat choice!
Liar! Did you see Cindy McCain's face when Palin made that comment? It was an evil and sarcastic laugh. It was clear what she meant, and the people listening to her laughed on cue.
Obama/Biden 2008
I hope the new energy is Obama ....Palin made this very odd remark which was to showcase his age....all I could think of was MCCain is 7 yrs older than Biden....and you really think she listened ot Biden in the 2nd grade ...give me a break , she doesn;t know squatt about Washington or national politics...
I guess this debate will see how well she soaked up the cramming for this exam! Just wonder if she will have an ear piece so they can feed her the answers!!!
What the hell? I never thought I would see the day I would hear someone talk like this who could possibly be in the 2nd highest office. I implore everyone to rent the movie "Idiocracy" as that is where we are headed should the SAME ticket win. GOD fobid.
like an energy drink.... high for awhile, but a crash after a few hours!
Not to worry, folks. Earlier press compared her to Bill Clinton, experience wise. Thinking Old Bill not going to be happy at all about that, even though he recently profusely praised Palin. Get Old Bill out of the gate and McCain/Palin doesn't have a chance.
Who's your daddy, Sarah?

McCain/Palin-Delusional in '08
So, Sarah, were you, really, like, listening to Senate speeches in 2nd grade?
What kind of American would vote for them?
Thanks for making the Dem's argument for us Sarah!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08/'12
Palin is still IN, like the second grade.
She just made Obama's case! Thank you Gov. Palin!
She forgot – what is funny is Cindy's reaction.
Bwhahahahaha
We don't even know her ideas on anything so how can we choose?
Ummm....ok so it's another thing that campaign has said...that meant something else. I guess that is cool.
Also I don't think that this woman is the new....anything! She is just a puppet of the GOP
This woman is not quilified to cook in my kitchen!!
Since people will supposedly be voting for the TOP of the ticket, and NOT the VP pick, that argument would benefit Obama ("new energy and ideas", as opposed to McCain)! Keep talkin', Sarah....
Go Obama/Biden '08!!
What is one new idea – just one? This has nothing to do with being a woman, this has to do with being a candidate who is continually selling herself (and being sold as) the breath of fresh air with all new ideas. What are they?
And that is the biggest load of crap about the grade two comment not being negative. It was just not wise given her running mate.
And by the way, John McCain stepping in to defend her when Couric asked her a question the other night was not chivalrous, it was sexist. If a man tried to break in and answer a question for me, I would be outraged. McCain sees nothing wrong with it I'm sure, but it was wrong politically and it was wrong period. He would never have done that to a man, and she should not have stood for it.
Duh, it's all about job creation and health care and Russia and snowmobiles, like totally!
I think it's been well documented that the McCain campaign is going full bore with the hypocrisy strategy.
I can see the moon from my backyard. Does that make me an astronaut?
IS PALIN STUPID OR WHAT??!!??!! Palin is making fun of Bidens age??!!?? Look who you're running with honey, McCain is older than Biden.
She has no new ideas... she's a parrot for the trite prerecorded republican tag lines that have been used since Regan.
why can't I read her comments without the accompanying smarmy accent/voice she has? and why does she insist on leaving out pronouns?? I do not understand her appeal at all, and I can't imagine having to listen to her try to speak for another 4+ years. It may even be more irritating than Bush's fake texan accent.
"He's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many, many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years," she said.
Probably the most intelligent, coherent sentence I've heard her say all week.
Yeah, right. She's really getting good at this lying thing. Anybody with a brain (which excludes her) knew exactly what she meant. I hope Joe Biden barbecues her on Thursday!
I agree. I heard from people we know that she is an excellent Governor.
Palin is a disgrace to Women !!!!
You spin me right round baby, right round....
She has ideas?
Since when?
She can't even answer a question coherently. You have to have an interpreter to understand what she's saying.
Doesn't she realize how ridiculous and pathetic she seems?
Julia – I hope Biden reads your comment. It's a great fact to know!
The sentence of hers quoted near the end of the article strikes me as very oddly stated since the population is, in effect, voting for the presidency rather than the vice presidency. Obama represents the new energy; McCain represents the guy with experience. Palin is, in effect, suggesting we should vote for the 'new face' – which happens to be on the other ticket.
She's new, alright. The NEW George Bush 2.0: Dumber, More Radical, and More Unqualified than the original version.
Sure you were. Now if he had done that he would be called a sexist.
The Republican ticket is finished. Palin, as it turned out, was the biggest mistake of McCains campaign. He thought any ole woman would do. He should have picked one with a measurable IQ.
Can you see her as President of the United States?
Mcsame made a major mistake by putting this lady on the ticket. She is absolutely unqualified to be Vice President of the U.S. We are in serious trouble if they're elected. McSame put campaign first instead of country.
Palin is a woman who has abused her power in the past – how do you think Palin would act like if she was actually elected in the White House?
McCain better watch himself over Palin. I haven't had one good feeling about her since she stepped in the public eye, not one.
Palin knows McCain is old and will probably kick-the-bucket soon. I bet this has crossed her mind more than once.
Palin is bad, bad news.
She doesn't realize how stupid she sounds considering Joe Biden is younger than McCain and McCain has been in the Senate for a long time. She is also NUMBER 2 on the ticket so her being new means nothing because we are voting for the TOP of the ticket. If I have to choose between the old and new...I'm saying thanks but not thanks to the ticket of McCain/Palin....Give me Obama/Biden!!!
How much longer do we have to listen to this idiot?
It would help the Republican ticket if Palin would step down.
CNN POST THIS
McCain is abuse to Palin, she is not qualified! i FEELL sorry about her ..really sad
The republicans have been consistently dumbing down the presidency and it began with Quayle, in which we dodged a bullet with him. Then came "W" (look where we ended up) and now Palin. The more I hear her speak, regardless of any political reports, I think she is a moron who is dangerously ill-prepared to be second in command. No matter which way you slice it. If I were a republican woman I would be furious that McCain chose her over any number of more qualified republican women.
It does not matter what Sarah does or what she does not know, the republicans will still get on televison in support of her. I think this is the worst VP pick in the history of politics. Sarah will be given the questions in advance and memorize the answers. I don't think this lady read the newspapers before she was slightly vetted for McCain's VP.
Obama/Biden the only way to go in 08 and beyond.
New Liar, I mean Bush!
Unfortunately Sarah all you are is energy and a face. Maybe you should use some of that energy chasing wolves in Alaska, that way you wouldn't have to waste money on those pesky helicopter rides where you shoot the wolves from the air.
Palin makes the age comments about Biden, but there is no one older than McCain running in this presidential election, so if she thinks Biden is old, what does she have to say about McCain?
What a stupid woman!
is this mccains stratgey?
I mean, Obama is the new face, the new energy. Is Mccain trying to nuetrilize obaba with Palin? I mean, its a good strategy on paper, but man did you pick the wrong person to carry it out with...
The more I hear Palin speak (unbridled by her Republican handlers) the more disgusted I get.
I would love her as my neighborhood action committee chairperson, but not as anything higher in the political chain. A personal high energy level is one thng, but you have to have a brain to go with it.
I am underwhelmed!
The more this woman speaks in public, the worse it gets for her!!
The average hocky Mom knows more about world affairs then Palin. Palin is a joke.
For the first time, she spoke the truth!! SHE IS THE NEW REPUBLICAN ENERGY!!
And that, my friends, is pathetic
She's the new "energy"! I've been waiting for this moment! ! Back to feeding my unicorns.
Palin's ego is matched only by GWB. And look where that got us. I have never seen anyone with fewer credentials and ability yet with such an overinflated sense of self. Please send her back to Alaska...please. Our country can't handle any more incompetence. We've had our fill.
Fantastic endorsement of Senator Obama. Thank you Palin!
The worst part of the Palin and Couric interview has not even aired on TV. Couric asked Palin a simple question about the Supreme Court. Palin sat dumbfounded and could not even speak. She looked like a Moose caught in a snowmachines headlights. She had no clue what she had just been asked. My Lord. If only the 'new energy' had a brain.
God Bless Obama, The Real New Eneregy!
Seems to me every time the McCain/Palin campaign make another gaffuw shortly thereafter they say the didn't really mean it. Please I would hope most of the American people are smarter than they think and act like we are. What they represent is lies, deception, a habit of finger pointing and dirty politicing. Obama and Biden will prevail!!
but if someone said putting lipstick on a pig, her campaign would freak out...
Did someone give Sarah a New-Age crystal pendant so she could channel all that 'New Energy' she has?
But seriously folks, If this woman was what the Democrats had fielded, all you Republican toady trolls would be howling with laughter.
No matter, I don't think Joe will be too harsh on her, wouldn't be prudent, and he'll just do enough surgical strikes to show what a twinkie-brain she is.
The 'new energy'?
Yeah, pitpull puppy power!!!
Joe Biden will win the debate hands down across the board and across the aisle as long as Palin shows up and shows out. She has yet to appear intelligent. She is a fool, we all know it and everyone who is in denial of this fact will see it during the debate.
VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS
VOTE FOR OBAMA
GIA IN LOS ANGELES...I AM PDIXON IN LOS ANGELES AND THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT: SHE JUST MADE AN ARGUMENT FOR VOTING OBAMA VERSUS MCCAIN INTO OFFICE! IDIOT
OBAMA-BIDEN 08
Keep shooting McCain and your campaign in the foot Sarah. Great job!!!
I don't think Mrs. Palin is aware of what 'new' ideas really are. I mean, living in Alaska isn't exactly the most enlightened environment for ideas, is it? Perhaps living in darkness for months is an inspiration for some.......
This isn't the 80's Republicans....come on....seriously......
This is all you've got?????
She has absolutely no substance. I cannot phathom why anyone would vote for their ticket.
This woman is a complete IDIOT!
Palin has been, LIKE, following Biden since the second grade? She actually said "like" in the middle of her sentence? "Okay, President Mushareff, we're going to, LIKE, come over your borders and get those terrorists that are threatening American lives!"
good grief, is that woman stupid or what!? god help America, and the rest of the world, if she and that senile angry old man are being elected into office come November!!!
No you aren't!
In the interest of your party, resign and give yourself more time to mature and prepare for national politics. You can actually become a formidable presidential candidate someday but this cake needs to stay in the oven.
Republicans and McCain 're sleazy politcian, they do not have clue about what is going on. 8yrs of stupidity and another more 4yrs of stupidity. Our country is doomed. SARAH PALIN=DUMB 08.
She's the "new energy" alright. ...moose energy. lol. SNL just got new material.
Contrary to what they want you to believe, John Mccian did not vet this lady! I mean, does any of this make sense? Didn't anybody look at her remarks before she went on stage? If anything, the last thing the Mccain Campaign want to talk about is Age.
The whole Mccain campaign is just BIZARRE!
Are you kidding me?!! She clearly meant to comment on his age, but as always forgot how that pertains to her own running mate. I guess being a hypocrite is the new thing for "New Energy" Mrs. Palin.
You Are Not The New Energy . . . You Are The New Joke!
CNN never seems to print my post . Why?
Sarah, you said exactly what you meant it to be and don't try and deny it. What I can't understand about her is, if she would just tell the truth instead of lying and trying to cover up that she doesn't know anything, people would respect her more for it. Man, I don't get these people who try and fool the people all of the time. It never works so why use it.
Obama/Biden 08
You have to be 35 or older to become a senator.
Listening to McCain and Palin spin, twist, and turn will make you dizzy. She 100% meant it as a swipe at Biden.
McCain and Palin have truly become the Double Talk Express. Say one thing, then say another, then mean another, then blame Obama. These two aren't fit to run a IHOP at this point.
Ron Paul Predicted? How? If you already know the result, why predict?? I Predict Barack Obam will not win in November! But I did that 6 months ago...
I'm sure Katie Couric would have asked her if it was ironic that she'd draw attention to Biden's age given how old McCain is. I'm sure she would have asked the question if she thought Palin knew what irony was. Tina Fey says thank you for giving her such great material.
Joe Biden has done over 100 interviews since being chosen as Barack's running mate.
Sarach Palin has done 3- and look how well those turned out.
I am waiting for a "family emergency" to arise on the night before the debate. Palin is going to need an audio device to tell her what to say as well as when to shut up!
She's the new something, but I wouldn't call it energy.
Why don't you focus on Obama's past and present ?
I like Sarah Palin and will vote for McCain regardless of what you say.
Mary Gardner
If you elect this woman to be vice president with the old man having 1 foot in the grave than you deserve no better as a nation. But then again you elected Bush twice which tells you that where the US lacks is an intellect and political maturity. I guess you really don't deserve better than those two.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall listening to Palin's preparation debate session. No amount of preparing is going to help her. McCain and Sarah will be crying Friday morning that they were "picked on" and "everybody hates them". Sounds like my four year old.
OBAMA/BIDEN
Yeah, I thought that comment was odd considering her running mate's age. What was she thinking? Oh yeah, that's the problem.
This woman is just a joke...
Just as she did not blikn when asked to be the VP, she does'nt think before saying rubbish..
I'm speechless!
Caribou Barbie go home.
You people have no clue. You have been pre-judging Palin from the day it was announced she would be McCain VP. You have almost successfully tore her down and regardless how she does in the debate, Obama supporters will trash her..Guess what...she does not have to know everything..thats why all Presidents and Vice Presidents have advisors. Maybe a real person with a new perspective is exactly what Washington needs...My question is what is the real differance between Obama and Palin...Obama has had 18 months of advisors and a good schooling by Hillary Clinton. Stop the hate...give Palin a chance...if she fails...she fails. The hatred you express is not what Mr. Obama has asked for from his supporters.
I am seriously at the point of not being able to stand this woman. I even cringe at the thought of Tina Fey. PLEASE SEND HER BACK TO ALASKA!
Palin is the new energy of the republican conservative fossil.
She is younger among them and yet her views are fossil like. She is not up to the task. No repubs this year.
Obama/Biden 08/12.
Sarah, how dare you make fun of Joe Biden. You are nothing comare to him...Nothing at all.
Filled with methane gas energy maybe.
She's so far out of her league...It's clear that McCain is done. Game over...thanks for playing!
you are indeed new "energy" – but, no thanks, not our any political system.But then, i forgot you are a repug – isnt this the best you can offer?
So she's once again agreeing with Obama? Are we sure she's not really in the Omama camp?
Palin is a pinhead, I look forward to her interview with Bill O'reilly of FoxNews. Sarah Miss Alaska Congeniality Palin cannot control her stupid way of thinking and that is her problem and the real challenge for McSame's campaign. I hope that Cindy undertands a little bit the situation, because she is not also clear in her head. So that is a very crazzy and dangerous combination: McSame-Palin-Cindy.
She needs to stop trying to take smart jabs at people and get her lines straight. She is on no place to make fum of someone else, when she is the town fool right about now.
At this point, she only looks like a fool by making snide remarks about "Obama's naivity" or Biden's age. Gimme a break.
Caribou Barbie talkin' like the folks! Like, you know, awesome! Thanks, but no thanks!
Obama/Biden '08
On Friday morning, after the debate, look for McCain and Palin to cry they are being "picked on" and "nobody likes us". Sounds like my four year old.
McCain is no maverick.A maverick would have put his choice of Lieberman on the ticket.Instead he decided to play us all for fools with Palin.I take my vote very seriously McCain and it won't go to you.
No one is going to deny that Obama is the 'new energy' this election.
now she's making sarcastic comments about age, take a look around you Ms. Palin, in particular the bloke that owns the Arizona condo your staying at this week.
Why do I sincerely doubt that Sara remembers hearing Joe Biden speeches when she was in the second grade? Other than the tragedy that befell him as he entered office – a junior congressman would not be lighting up the three network's newscasts at that time. So contrived...
I read this before, but it hits home. Gov. Palin is like the popular girl in school making snide remarks and flirting her way through life.
She does nothing BUT make snide remarks for laughs at her staged/safe appearances.
I just KNEW that McCain was going to pick a woman to try and get Hillary's votes. He insulted all women! He actually believed that we'd vote for a woman who is so ill equipped for the White House simply because she IS a woman. He must think that we are ALL airheads. Boggles the mind, doesn't it?
Let's not underestimate her. All the humor/parody only lower the expectations for her debate performance. Be afraid that she may end up a heartbeat away from the presidency which is a frightening thought!
umm, has she noticed how old her running mate is???
Frankly, I would prefer someone who has the guts to stand up to all the stuffy "good ole boys club" crap in DC, admit they don't know everything, but are willing to apply their values and ideals to do what they think is the best for the country. We rarely get the chance to put someone in DC who doesn't have a bunch of favors to repay and even if it's just the VP and not the Pres, that kind of new-ness is refreshing and exciting.
We as American's complain about our politicians and the corruption in Washington, but when someone new to it all it is willing to stand up and let the entire country, media, and frankly the world judge them we write them off an incapable or foolish. Maybe if we were a little more understanding as a nation and let someone less experienced have a chance to prove themselves instead of always electing the people who just had enough money to conduct a campaign, maybe we would all have a new view of our great nation.
I respect McCain's choice to take a risk and let a fresh face into Washington. Maybe the face of the American politician will finally change. Maybe the government "Of the People" will finally have a chance to be "By the People" – any person – and not the "Same Old People".
I can see a fighter plane at March Air Base, I'm a Fighter Pilot
i agree with Jill, Sarah nneds to call in sick Thursday night.
Sarah Palin is chained to John McCain's leg and he's CLEARLY a "dead man walking" right off the plank!!
Sarah Palin's gaffe over Pakistan just proved that she was validating Sen. Obama's foreign policy because she KNOWS John McCain doesn't have a CLUE when it comes to economic and apparently foreign policy either!! HA! HA!
He was the "CLEAN UP MAN" this morning during the interview with Katic Couric. I mean Jesus, this OLD man looked like Sarah's Grandpa. He kept answering for HER even when Katie wasn't talking to him. AND the the icing on the cake was that John McCain did what he always does, he BLAMES THE VOTER WHO ASKED THE QUESTION and called it a "gotcha question". What planet is the OLD MAN ON? Yes, he BLAMED the voter who asked the question.
I mean who ELSE is John McCain going to blame? I mean is he going to blame his mother for his WHITE HAIR, whose NEXT? The tooth fairy, Santa Claus?
I'm starting to really think John McCain is "damaged goods". Something is NOT right with this OLD GRINGO'S head. I think he's been permanently damaged when he crash his plane! I think he LOST a good portion of his brain cells!!!
Okay, now Sarah Palin is coming across very elitist and arrogant by saying, "I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas..."
Comments like that work a lot better when SOMEONE ELSE says them about you....not when you make a personal declaration of how awesome you are, when everyone else can see the exact opposite is true. I am going to vote TOMORROW for OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 as an advance voter....
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN TURN THE STATE OF GEORGIA TO BLUE!!!!!
OMG – "New Energy" when she is with the oldest guy in the race. She is not going to be the one making policies, she is going to follow her "grandpa" every step of the way. If we want NEW at the TOP it must be Obama that you vote for.
how can any one believe a word she says. this is pathetic.
she says whatever is popular , bomb pakistan , oops
haha palin you and mccain are just jokes repubs ticket is disaster. Plain is the new energy new face hahahaha ya because you lived in alaska and no one knows you hahaha
Palin has neither experience OR informed judgment! I would put the experience and informed judgment of Biden and Obama over Palin's any day of the week.
It doesnt matter if she is completely new. You just need to look at the record and she is a Bush/Cheney, all-in-one laced in a box.
Like Bush, she
1 is a governor
2 left city in debt
3 is oil-based and for oil company
4 is a Washington outsider
Like Cheney, she
1 shoots
2 determined
Like both of them
she'll RUSH to do anything
It's about Judgment, vision and patience. She has none of them for onw.
you guys are pathetic, Biden is contantly gaffing, at least once a week and it barely gets mentioned. Palin gaffes and you run it for weeks. CNN is becoming a joke to anyone but democrats
Trig,Piper,Tramp,Stump,Rump nice names hockey mom with lipstick
Geez ... you post'rs here are soooo testy on anything McCain/Palin. You should be happy – have you seen the Polls? Obama/Biden is up by 6 pts. You're going to win easily. Or, have you looked inside the Polls like many others and realized you are losing ...
If Palin is the new energy, Americans don't want the drink. By the way, she better stop throwing those insults out there about Biden's age – remember, you have your daddy as your running mate, Sarah!
An elephant is an elephant. It doesnt matter what pants they are wearing.
He'll want his peanuts and ocean of water.
Wow – I had thought that elderly caucasians were a key McCain constituent. This is the group that Palin has chosen to mock?
People please – forget about each candidate's color, or gender, or whether they have funny names. This is an historic opportunity to put people "with brains" in power.
I'm not willing to hand power over to IDIOTS – one thinks that "dinosaurs and humans co-existed" (enough of this anti-science garbage), while another thinks that walking around, singing BOMB BOMB IRAN makes him presidential. Are you kidding???
Please, how can she even go there and talk about age? Does she realize how old her candidate at the top of the ticket is? I hope she goes to age. Barack wasn't even born when McCain started his career. She is so clueless and the people tutoring her must be just as crazy. Palin just has to open her mouth and she starts parroting all those ridiculous statements. Biden just have to sit there and bow his head. Palin is Palin's worst enemy. Go Biden.
She is going to take all of John's energy. How will John be able to run the country w/ all the issues we have and babysit her as well? It was sad to see that she had to go back on Katie Couric w/ her daddy and everytime Katie asked a pointed question, Papa McCain has to step in.
Palin
Sharon– methinks you have a large chip on your shoulder. mp
Wow......
Sarah Palin is chained to John McCain's leg and he's CLEARLY a "dead man walking" right off the plank!!

Are her new "ideas" the same incoherant babble she displayed when interviewed by Katie Couric??
couric showed us the real palin
sarah was 8yrs old when biden was electied-ok–how old was she when McCain elected and how old was McCain when that election took place.
when McCain appears with sarah he looks like a grandfather listening to his favorite grandaughter reciting her peice at a recidal.
Man! Palin just can't get anything right. She wants the public to choose between expereince and "new energy" and ideas? Is she paid by Obama? Isn't that Obama's whole campaign?
Please, Senator McCain – shake this race up one more time and dump this incapable candidate. The Republican Party needs more credibility than Palin has to offer. And Alaska – you ought to dump her, too.
If she's the new energy are we ever in a pickle her interview with Katie Couric left my house running to get our Obama/Biden signs. She needs to head back up north and take grandpa with her
It was such a strange comment. Sarah Palin may surprise us. Now, I've said that before because I can't imagine someone being that dense. Maybe its another one of McCain's tricks and she is really super smart and will surprise is all. I have to either think that or that she is really not that bright.
Ya know, like, I don't know what I'm talking about but ya know, I'm gonna be shakin' thing up and fixin' stuff – and I can see Russia from my house...
This woman is a ditz! No Palin No McCain...
I do hope the McCain people will have her programmed on the right topics on Thursday.......she is just like a Stepford Wife.....who knows maybe McCain and Sarah will both blow a gasket!!!!!
This ticket would be really funny if it didn't have a serious side to it......these two folks are just a laughing stock and they have the nerve
to think the American people would trust them let alone believe them!!!!
Time for the Lone Ranger and Tonto to ride off into the sunset.......like yesterday!!!!!
Does anyone care about this?
Whether you agree that Obama is prepared to be president or not, he has earned the support of millions of Americans and gotten the nomination of the democratic party. Joe Biden has been working hard for American familes since 1972. By nominating Sarah Palin, John McCain threw the experience argument out the window; By laughing at Joe Biden's age Sarah Palin has thrown herself out a window. Biden has served in senate longer than McCain but is younger than McCain by several years. He and John McCain are too entrenched in "politics as usual" to convince anyone that they can lead the change this country needs. But put Obama at the top of the ticket to lead and you have formidable ticket that all hard working families in America should rally behind. I'll be proud to cast my vote for this visionary pair on November 4th. Sarah Palin should seriously consider going back to second grade.
She's definitely the new something but energy is not remotely a word that comes to mind.
palin = airhead
press should just bleep out her words. it is just depressing to hear her babble
Palin is a complete disaster.
Duh Governor Palin is saying the same thing that Obama said. I got to read this again. It is similar to what Obama said about him going against McCain.
McCain camp and Governor Palin need to get a life of their own and stop riding on Obama lines and try to use their own lines instead.
Maybe she will have that priest bless the country to protect us from witchcraft!!!!! Now that is a new Idea!!!!
Ms. Palin, its hard to believe you've been hearing about JB speeches since the second grade.....Hard to believe you have the intellectual capacity to hear about anything other than what your church tells you!!
if sh e can run, heck we all can run for VP, no matter even if you can barely pronounce names or even went to school...........

As a foreign, that lives in this country and have a tremendous respect for it (that is why I dare to give my opinion) I think you can summarize the present political choices as a pro-life stance, strong and good foreign policy, and sound economic ideas with McCain or Pro-abortion, weak and dangerous foreign policy, and populist economic plans with Obama. Let me tell you one more thing, you learn in economics 101 that minimum wages, quotas and tariffs to avoid free trade, and a big government are not good for the economy. All things that Obama wants. Please, Choose wisely.
We don't need "new energy"..... we need ...... INTELIGENCE, WISDOM, GOOD JUDGMENT, and UNITY-- WE NEED OBAMA!!!!!!
