CNN

Sarah's made some terrible, inexcusable mistakes in recent memory but that's not one of them. Really, who cares?! The question had too many qualifiers attached to it. Not only did she want the name of a Supreme Court case, but one that Palin thought should have been dismissed and left up to the states. That's a pretty tough question to handle off the cuff. I'm a law student and I can't even do it. I agree with most famous Supreme Court decisions and even the ones I don't agree with I wouldn't say they should have been dismissed or left to the states.

Sarah is stupid. Don't get me wrong. But this time, she made a regular person mistake, not a Palin mistake.

To suggest that Palin is the victim of sexism here is ridiculous. The question was a softball thown by Couric to both Palin and Biden. Given that the Supreme Court effectively stripped 3 billion dollars from the Anchorage jury's 5 billion dollar award., he could have done so much with that answer. But she didn't.. Why? Because she is an airhead who has no business on the national stage.

Hey as Mcsame put it..its all gotcha! journalism right???..plizzz!!!..go cheat a cow!!

Goodness, you idiots. She probably didn't want to provide fodder for the MSM to attack her as saying she agrees or disagrees with a particular decision. There is absolutely no proof here that she couldn't name one.

That's just great....

The Republicans need to quit saying Palins name in the same breath with PResident Ronald Regan's name, every time they do that they lose 10 thousand votes. On second thought, keep making the comparision hahahaha

Republicans, is it really the liberal media's fault that Palin can't answer basic questions about our government – when Katie Couric asked Biden the EXACT SAME QUESTION (and he actually had an answer)? Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, it is impossible to think that someone who can't even name a single landmark Supreme Court case could one day be in the position of naming justices to that same court.

If Sarah Palin gets through the Vice-Presidential debate without making a major gaffe, the republican party will prepare her membership application in mensa. If Sarah Palin totally screws up the debate, I bet they say Biden was so sexist, the moderator was so biased, she couldn't hear the question clearly (because her ear piece was also talking under her long flowing hair), those questions were too difficult - it's only the VP debate not the Presidential debate. Well Sarah, I have one thing to say pre-debate, you're in the majors - they use hard balls - little league uses wiffle balls. As the Big Dog company says "You either Run with the Big Dogs or You Stay on the Porch."

No Sexism...women that are unprepared to lead should be questioned on this, and I find it incredibly difficult to believe that Obama couldn't explain Marbury v. Madison given that he was a constitutional law scholar.

There were a host of female Republican governors, representatives and senators that were intelligent and well prepared for the role of vice president that deserve our respect and that I wouldn't mind supporting at the polls. Palin is not one of them.

Bush is much smarter than Palin because we do understand him clearly.....

here it is in simplistic terms–any 43 year old woman who is not smart enough to not get pregnant certainly cannot be smart enough to be vice president, much less, potentially the president.

Doug,
How is asking what magazines or books you have read to shape your world view cornering her? What should she be asking her? Don't be ridiculous. She isn't interviewing for a job at Walmart. She is the potential next vice president. The way the republicans are spinning this is completely unbelievable, but I think the fact that some of you are buying it is absolutely frightening. I don't know about you, but I don't want "joe six pack "as ms. palin described herself as my next VP.

Truly pathetic...this is the great hope of the Republican Party?? What the heck happened to McCain. Anyone who thinks this woman is qualified for her position is obviously criminally insane. The 1st important decision of a Presidential Candidate is to pick a qualified, intelligent person with the necessary experience, not someone who fails on all counts. This should be proof enough for the fence sitters out there that McCain has made his first huge mistake. Wake up people, this is the most important election of our lifetime not a student council race.

The format of the upcoming VP Debate will not test Palin. The questions are all known weeks ahead of time. Palin will be able to deliver rehearsed little speeches and soundbytes that someone else has written for her, throw in a couple of winks and a few folksy words in that nerve jangling accent of hers and sound like she knows her stuff.

The point of the single debate that VPs have should be to show their mettle to the US public, not give a trained parrot a chance to regurgitate Rove/Cheney ideology.

What a waste of time. Watch Fox News and the Republican party faithful proclaim her as Einstein-reincarnate on Friday.

This woman is crashing and burning at an alarming rate. It is amazinng to see all of the Republican talking heads on tv still trying to make Sarah Palin into something that she is not. It is time to end this nightmare. Sarah must go – and John McCain too.

Now I understand why it took her six years and 5 different schools to get 4year degree in Journalism!

Sarah has to take some blame for accepting. She knew she was ready... but John McCain and Camp should be Kicked... They made a fool out of her! First Dude hasn't taught her most of the history yet...he's too busy making the decisions for her...

Come on...John McCain should be a shame......

So did Katie as Joe to name a second? I guess not. Why not ask her about issues. I thought this was about issues, not names of court cases. Katie: "Joe, name one piece of legislation that Obama has lead on that has helped the American people." Joe: "blah blah blah". Katie: "Joe, let me try again, please tell me one piece of legislation that Obama has head on that has helped the American people." Joe: "uh, uh, uh, well you know Katie, Obama he wants change and Bush is bad, so there you have it. That is just what we need to do."
Katie: "Joe, tell me where Obama came out on issue X in the Illinois senate". Joe: "blah blah blah". Katie: "Joe, let me try again, what position did Obama take on issue X in the Illinois senate." Joe: "uh, uh, uh, well you know Katie, Obama he wants change and Bush is bad, so there you have it. That is just what we need to do." Enough said.

to the lady who asked why nobody asks Obama this...it's because he was a Constitutional Law professor. Needless to say he knows his cases and it would be a wasted question. try again there.

Please forgive my optimism, but I think there's a reasonable chance we will soon have a new president and vice president, each with triple-digit IQ scores, and, moreover (here's the real shocker), those scores are at least one standard deviation above the mean!

On a lighter note, all the letters to the left of the equals sign are identical to all the letters used on the right side of the equals sign:

TWO + ELEVEN = ONE + TWELVE

Why is everyone upset with McCain for cornering Palin? She could have said "No thanks" to his request. McCain knew what he was getting her into – so did she. And she jumped at the chance. Now she's coming across as a real idiot. Her own doing.

I suppose this is example of what Palin refers to as a "gotcha" question. This question is certainly relevant to how Palin may view certain issues. She disagrees with Roe v. Wade so therefore she is probably (and turns out is) "pro-life." However, I think that when the President nominates a candidate for the Supreme Court, a knowledge of past Supreme Court decisions isn't necessary (although it doesn't hurt). All that the President needs is an understanding of what type of decision-maker he or she wants to appoint, and then look for a candidate whose record reflects that type of decision-making. THE PRESIDENT'S FUNCTION IS EXECUTIVE IN NATURE, NOT JUDICIAL. It amazes me how so many people have hated Palin from the outset.

HMMM:

The reason why it matters soooo much if she can name a case or not is because there are potentially THREE supreme court justices to be named this next term. So, given that she is one heart beat away from the Presidency, I would like to know that she has some grasp of constitutional law and what her views are so I can understand what type of Justice SHE might nominate if she is President. Remember, Justice seats are life terms.

"IN WHAT RESPECT CHIRLEY." WHAT A JOKE?
OBAMA / BIDEN THE ONLY CHOICE. THE OTHER IS SUICIDE.

Listening to Sarah Pallin's latest attempts to answer questions posed by Katie Couric is more than embarasing. Every time she opens her mouth and tries to fudge lack of knowledge indicates that John McCain in his first big decision could not have chosen anyone less qualified. I can think of at least two Republican female senators who are very bright and qualified: Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Olympia Snow. McCain did not put the country first but thought he would save his faltering campaign with this empty pants suit. This shows how desperate he really is to win.

I am a supporter of Obama. I would like to offer a different perspective on Palin than the trashing she gets on this blog. Palin may actually be a solid politician. However, she has been handcuffed by the McCain campaign because I believe they realize she is unprepared and lacks sufficient experience to play the game at this level. I would not be so quick to write her off just yet. Let's face she plays well to the Republican base and is young. I don't agree with policies but I think our views are being shaped by the McCain campaign paronia.

"How come no one asks Obama to explain derivatives or CDO's or to give us the details of Marbury vs. Madison, etc:?"

Are you serious? Obama was a law professor at the University of Chicago and the president of the Harvard Law Review. You think he couldn't provide the details of Marbury vs. Madison? Thanks for playing.

She is pitiful – reminds me of the poor beauty queen who was kicked out of college my freshman year for cheating on a math test – I felt sorry for her, but she deserved what she got.

When you don't know what you don't know, you can be really dangerous! Go home to your children, Sarah. Teach them to moose hunt. We'll all be better off for it. Shame on the religious right for choosing their ideology over our very well-being. At the risk of sounding like one, I think God's will will be done and Obama will become our next President. McCain's judgement (as evidenced by the Palin choice) is seriously impaired.

Who cares if she knows a Supreme Court case. Why doesn't Couric ask better questions. Like what would you like to do as Vice President. That's what is important.

If I am not mistaken she is not a scum sucking lawyer so why would she recognize specific case citations. But, I bet she knows her values. Eat crap Couric.
And, then there is Obama. This moron thinks a breathalizer can cure an asthma attack.
I would bet on the Gov. not the goon.

Any Senator or Congressman could rattle off several SCOTUS decisions they supported or opposed. This woman should be dropped from the ticket now – I'm afraid it's already too late.

I rest my case.

As I stated in an ireport post a few weeks ago on Palin, I want a vice president with a law degree, and while we're at it, a president, too.

Obama and Biden bring that legal perspective.

And once they're in let's put Hillary on the Supreme Court.

if only all of you jerks would just lay off sara pallin. she nose everything she needs to no about the world to bee prezident. i just hope that the rest of you pull your heads out and stop reading into obama's rhetoric.

good riddance

I would love to see an Experienced Intelligent woman in the White House. Putting this one in makes all women look bad (i only got this job because of my anatomy!)
Unfortunately, Sarah is not up for the job.

Biden says somehting like 3,000 words every day to the press and has a few mis-steps. Palin says 60 words and 30 of them are showing she is an idiot.

So everyone that wants to quote Biden's missteps here and there, SHUT UP. There is NO COMPARISION here.

The last word palin wants to hear is the word "court". She has so many skeletons in her closet. Those skeletons will come in handy this Halloween.

Hey keep on going Palin . waiting to hear more tomorrow.
I wonder what Palin supporters are going to say next . She has got Amnesia, I think that will work.

Is Sarah's memory that good? Does she remember when Dinosaurs and John McCain roamed the earth together?

Hey, Sarah doesn't care about the Supreme Court, she has her higher level of authority to obey.

And when the old dinosaur takes his leave, who do you think Sarah will listen to?

That does it......get her out of this campaign, McCain. Admit that you exercised bad judment when you chose her and re-choose your buddy from Connecticutt.

It makes a huge difference whether she can NAME more than Roe vs Wade. She was asked only to name others, not to detail them. She should, as a person in government, be aware of a few. In fact, I have no confidence she's aware of the particulars involved in Roe vs Wade and more than likely her stance is "it's not ProLife so I'm against it" and her so-called knowledge of it ends there. This person takes very rigid stances on issues she has little to no knowledge of or experience with. She and McCain are beyond cocky and more than a little arrogant. They are inflexible and blustery. However, the words and actions without forethought are the worst to accept. As an American in today's world, and more importantly, a Mother, that scares the hell out of me.

It has been my statment; nothing is secret on this earth. GOP and John Macain can not keep the inexperience of Gov Sarah secret for ever. More of the secret will be out soon.

I share her faith. I live on the West coast. Similarities stop there. Please elect Obama. I fear for us if we didn't.

I swear she is Chrissy from Three's Company in a wig.

You guys are way too hard on Palin. Yes, she's not ready for the job. Its McCain's fault she is in this position now. Palin should run for Senate, rack up some real experience, then make her bid for prez in, say 20 years. Seriously people. I'm for Obama, but I feel really sorry for Palin at this point. When a man says stupid things we kinda laugh it off (think Quayle, think Bush, think Reagan). When a woman does, we want blood.

Nancy Pelosi didnt seem to know that she and Congress were the checks and balances that were supposed to keep that nasty Bushs economic policies from corroding the past 8 years. So go figure on the pols and history test questions. Besides that if his policies were so bad, and Reid and Pelosi have certianing done their share of hate Bush propagandizing, how come we didnt suffer this melt down immediately after 9/11 and for the past 7 years? If you all think the Clinton years were so good, ask your parents and grandparents the difference in their taxes now as under Bill Clinton. This failure to remember past yesterday is going to be the undoing of our nation.

Don't worry about your grandchildren, Obama will have them all in state funded pre school, educated and manipulated in the madrasa manner, and they will all turn out to be the brillant, independent and creative individuals that our universities are turning out of law school. Some people have eyes but cannot see.

You know, now I'm really getting angry. How DARE John McCain use the security and safety of our country to play this outrageous game! The reasonable, thoughtful, and good republicans of this country should be calling for MCCAIN to step down off the ticket!

its only because the media keep editing these interviews to make the woman look bad and you in the media perpetuate the myth in the hopes of getting sen. ummuhhhbama elected. ask me he is the one that sounds like a half wit.

I just watched the disgusting tape of how people in alaska shoot wolves from helicopters dead. then they land and tie their legs to the bottom of the chopper and drag to whereever. palin approves of this animal cruelty. the tape is graphic and this highly known in alaska is this the woman you want to run our country mccain certainly showed poor judgement in choosing palin. she does not know anything about America. wake up america. mccain is way out of touch those poor wolves shot to death

Here we go again lets see all the uneducated people start saying how it's the media's fault. As if the media is the one that continues to give stupid answers to questions. This is what I knew would happen if Bush's cronies let her actually talk.

Has it escaped everyone's notice that Biden didn't name the case he disagreed with either? He was able to say what part of a case he disagreed with, but he couldn't name the case. Palin was put on the spot to name a case, not an outcome. I disagree with Supreme Court decisions all the time, but I couldn't name the cases. Doesn't mean I'm disinterested in the world around me.

Crap....that bimbo makes Bush look absolutely brillant!!!! lol

Sexism at it's Worst: Where were you for the 15 plus montohs before Obama won the Democratic Primaries? He got drilled. Sarah has been treated with kid gloves. That's reverse sexism, I think.

lol,....and they're blaming the media???? WOW!!!.....sadly, the only reason this is even close is a much deeper issue: RACISM........no way on earth anyone voting unbiased chooses Mccain/Palin.......WAkE UP AMERICA!!!

You've almost got to admire a woman who is so manifestly unfit to run anything other than her lovely family, yet unashamed to show it to the incredulous American electorate. Pity is more appropriate, however.

Stan, FDR was sworn in in 1933, the depression ended in 1939. He was president during the depression, but not at the time of the stock market crash in 1929.

Linda in AK thanks for sending me to bed tonight with that nightmare vision in my head.

ONE QUESTION: WHAT THE H_LL WAS JOHN McCAIN THINKING?

This is NOT a reflection on "pitt air-head with lipstick". This is a HORRIFIC reflection on John McCain. I fault him and ONLY him. He was reckless and incompetent in his choice of Gov. Sarah Palin.

America knows he picked her for ALL THE WRONG REASONS, and those reasons are showing brightly. John McCain gamble and he LOST big time. NO one will ever take him seriously ever again. He'll be the laughing stock of Washington!!!!

I think her base will have no problem with her lack of understanding of the world or US Consitution. However, I expect she will do well in the debates since she has been a sport caster and her looks and charm will help make up for her deficits. The moderates and Independents will see why he picked her over the dozens of more qualified Republicans-in other words–he needed news–a gimmick. Her witchcraft video and fring beliefs about this being the last generation on earth are scary. Why did the media show the Wright video a million times but give hardly any play to her pastor issues? The pastor blessing her and talking about them infiltrating politics, education, and business is worrisome. Has the witchcraft blessing worked? Maybe so. According to her Pentecostal principals we shouldn't avoid a nuclear war since they believe a showdown involving Israel will lead to some Jews converting and joining them in the rapture to heaven. Those of us with more traditional Christian and evangelical outlooks are shocked that she would have such power.

Governor Palin has never been to the town she said you could see Russia from...oh no...does this now mean that she has no Foreign Policy experience? Guess we are in trouble now...

But McCain is a POW!

This has got to be a bad dream! This can't be happening for real! By golly wow! Couldn't she have come up with the Exxon deal that happened just this past summer. It is my understanding that she is on record saying she was disappointed with the Supreme Court's ruling. This happened in Alaska and she couldn't recall that??

Maybe, just maybe she will surprise us tomorrow and actually speak in coherent sentences. I fail to believe that if she was on the "left" side of things that these same conservatives would be head over heels with her. She would be considered ignorant, uneducated and a disgrace.

What has to happen for them to wake up and see that she's sinking the ship!!???

Okay just to clarify–the headline for the article says that she can't name ONE case that she disagrees with. She did name one, however, Roe v. Wade. Misleading much?

Would you have had the same headline for Joe Biden who also appears to only have named ONE that he disagrees with?

The bias that is being displayed in framing all issues pertaining to Sarah Palin is astonishing and disappointing...

Although uncomfortable to watch her struggle in the grand spotlight...she is not the polished, smooth talking politician that we usually see on TV... But this could be a good thing because it is those very politicians that make everyone feel good but actually "do nothing" Sarah Palin is more like most Americans that some folks care to admit... I too am excited for the debate...

I dare Obama to do an interview with Sean Hannity.

Anyone who aspires to be President of the U.S. needs to have some knowledge about this country. It's not sexist to ask a simple question that she can't answer. Especially when it was a woman asking the questions...

Chad, that is hilarious! Put some ice on that, dude.

To Linda in AK:

That IS scary!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Sarah is going to do well in the debate. Joe will be the way saying something over the top – mark my words!

Can't wait to see the SNL skit Saturday – and see who will play Plugs!!

Obama does very well in front of the teleprompter...as he turns his head, to the left one, then the right one. America has been brainwashed. In their desire to do a 180 from one bad President, they will get another bad one in Obama. We have a chance to elect the best, non partisan, independent minded Prez in history in McCain, it won't happen. Independents never can win because it's too hard to gain support in the middle when most people are at extremes.

Instead, we will get Obama who changes position every time he sees it's nor a popular opinion. In the end, Obama will execute 75% of McCain's plans, because they are actually the right ones. It's awesome to watch Obama's campaign call McCain's sleaze and lies. But look at the fact checks and you see that Obama has lied or stretched the truth many more times than McCain. US companies will continue to take jobs overseas as their taxes continue to be the highest in the world.

Doesn't anyone care that Obama and Biden voted against a bill to divert funds from the Alaskan bridge to Katrina help in New Orleans? And they TWICE voted for the Alaskan bridge. And Biden's $350million in earmakes for Delaware for useless projects including ..GUESS what...a bridge that isn't needed.

The "Sexism at its Worst" post is ridiculous. Obama has gotten grilled over all types of things in the 19 months he's run for president; Biden has been grilled throughout his entire career. Asking a candidate for national office tough questions isn't "sexism", it's the press doing their job. Hillary Clinton had to answer tough questions, and never called foul. Palin and McCain thing ANY question that goes to Palin that's not a puff piece is out of bounds. Truly pathetic. The Palin story isn't about Palin–it's about the person who chose her, John McCain. He doesn't have the judgement to be president.

Somebody give this woman a lifeline. She is clearly a very nice lady who is in way over her head. Shame on the pandering GOP for putting her in this position when they knew she was unqualified. Sarah, the GOP leadership is not your friend. If Hillary had won the nomination, you would be back in Alaska, still an unknown to the rest of us. Bail now and save yourself.

Obama has looks and charisma, but no experience. (Too bad the media never ask Obama any "tough" questions, gee, he might appear dumb.)

Sarah Palin sounds very stupid in her remarks. I am also considering that this is the "interview-prepared" version of her. Truly SAD!!
She's no more fit to run this country than I am. Most of the people who have posted on here know more about political history than she does.

There's nothing wrong with Sarah Palin. She's a regular Joe-six-pack American as she said on Hugh Hewitt's show.

The serious problem is with McCain, who – in his first real executive decision of picking a running mate – thought she could be the best vice president, who, in the one in five chance that something happens to him – could potentially be making foreign policy decisions (Russia/Alaska), economic decisions ("I'll get back to ya!"), and appointing Supreme Court judges (this story).

Who I feel sorry for more than Palin herself is the surrogates (and McCain) who have to go out and defend her statements every day.

Good luck, America. Use your heads, not your egos.

Bumper sticker seen in Anchorage Alaska:

McCain ‘08
Palin ‘09

If that doesn’t scare you nothing will!

Who is more inept? McCain for picking this absolute conn artist? Or Palin for knowing she is a fraud but being too big an idiot to know the national stage would expose her as nothing but a sleazy conn artist?

To "Sexism at its Worst". Obama is a constitutional lawyer. I bet he can name 500 cases. That is the wrong question to answer as we all know he is a smart person. The question to answer is whether he has the right temperament and decision-making capacity to be Commander-In-Chief. We have to ask the same question of Senator McCain (complete disclosure - I am a US Naval Academy graduate). Do I know who I am voting for? No. But I won't base it on whether someone can answer a question about a Supreme Court case (or for that matter of Senator Biden or Governor Palin can). I will be examining how they think logically, their process for coming to a decision and how they can express it. We will need them to express the US point of view in front of heads of state...and that will be FAR MORE IMPORTANT than whether they can recite a Supreme Court case. That being said, Governor Palin needs to step up her game against some of the criteria I stated above or Senator McCain will have a challenge convincing America she can stand in for him. Sorry, but those are the facts

her best response would ave been " There are no other cases I dont agree with" . Rather than all that babbling.

This woman is an embarrasment to everyone in this country. If she becomes VP and god forbid President lord help us all.

unbelievable. in june she disagreed with the exxon/valdez ruling.

My friends like to make comments when watching some games. They sound like they are the best players in the world, and the players in the fields are all dumb. But the truth is, none of my friends are good at the games.
I do not think Palin is as bad as what news says. They pick up some good questions. I am not saying the questions are not fair. I just do not think the Media has been fair to her. They tend to be more forgiving when Biden making mistakes, or being ignorant.

To Sexium at its worse,
You said

"How come no one asks Obama to explain derivatives or CDO's or to give us the details of Marbury vs. Madison, etc:?

Why does he get to skate and she gets quizzed to death? Some day
women will stop putting up with this but I guess not yet."

You sound so rediculus. No one has asked Palin how to explain derivatives or CDO's, in fact Couric asked Palin the same exact questions she asked Biden. I'm sorry, I am a woman and I admit that some woman are just stupid, just like some men are, and it just so happens that Palin, when it comes to national security, social issues, and economics, is just plain dumb. She is out of her league.

omg ..... again you just can't fix stupid.. sorry and pathetic
is the best description I can think of... just think 5 15/16's bottles
short of a six pack

After she loses the election I see a long career for her on the comedy channel. Maybe her own political show like Colbert. She's hillarious!

Poor thing! Poor thing! AND I am sure that she misses her family on top of it all. What a shame. She needs to go home and be Mom, right from the start no mother in her right mind would leave a 4 month old. Not one that I know. I don't care what other opportunity presented itself. AND for all the advances that Hillary made, they are all lost now and probably we won't have another womean nominated for diddly squat for years. Wonderful, just wonderful. Thanks a lot John and Sarah

In my opinion, her candidacy shows many things. For one it shows the selfish, egotistical character of both Palin and McCain. He chose her to give him an appeal to the conservative Democrats, conservative Republicans and the people most likely to vote for Hillary Clinton--at OUR cost. "Country First"? I beg to differ; it's OBVIOUS that his run for the presidency is about John McCain first. He's desperate because he knows this is his last chance. Forget the fact that her selection is OBVIOUSLY not in the best interests of the country---ANYTHING to win. Even if it means putting the country that he fought for and loves SO MUCH at stake. Secondly, Governor Palin KNOWS that she's not vice presidential OR presidential material; but instead accepted the offer because of her own selfish, egotistical motives and is OBVIOUSLY willing to sacrifice her country and more importantly her own family just to win!! Do we want someone of that character sitting in the "Big Chair" or next to it for that matter making decisions for our country. Desperate people are dangerous; but desperate AND selfish...?

In view of the fact that SHE came out of her ring corner referring to herself as a "pit bull", made VERY condescending remarks about Senator Obama (even to the point of mocking) and attempting to present herself as having the resolve to defend this country "no matter what it takes; we CANNOT blink...", I hope after Biden crushes her on tomorrow evening that she doesn't attempt to fall back on "Biden was too harsh with me; I'm female". Let's see if this "pit bull" has some bite.

I have this terrible affliction where I feel people's humiliation vicariously.
I can't watch her without looking through my clenched fingers.

I've been through tough technical interviews for jobs I was wholly unqualified for – but not in front of millions of people.

Sarah, this is going to ruin you! Quit now while you can still legitimately run for local office.

It is pathetic that some still scream "liberal media" – all Couric did was ask her some simple questions. What magazines or newspapers do you read. Now that is a real stumper..hmm. Liberal, liberal, liberal – I am growing so tired of that whining defense. Maybe Sarah P will do well on Thursday – who knows? But up to now she has shown herself as a terrible & irresponsible choice by McCain. He brought her into this – that guy is not qualified to be president.

An intelligent, forward thinking, progressive indivudal would be such a nice description to have for our presdient. Please not another lying cowboy with no impulse control. I don't know if Obama can do it – but he is the best hope we have.

I want to be proud of the decisions and things my country does again – I work for an international company and so many people find our current administration and its policies either scarey or laughable.

I'm afraid that the republicans have unfortunately made Sarah Palin their poster child for how to avoid the real issues and how to give answers that are not really answers. It looks to be the tact of spewing ill thought out rhetoric and baseless ideological attacks against their opponent to deflect from the reality that they either have no clue or just don't care about what really matters. I can only hope that, in November, the American people will put a muzzle on this affront to our intelligence.

Palin will win. McCain does not need Clinton's help to win this election.

Palin 2012

I agree with a previous comment here... I actually look forward to hearing about Palin's gaffe's on a daily basis. Perhaps Sarah is in cohorts with the SNL team or even John Stewart for material.

Not good for McCain and it's pretty much over for him now so Palin might as well stick it out and do her best to learn from the experience.

I think her interviewing skills lack something....Maybe it could be facts and substance!!! She is like a little puppet the Republican party has put on strings, and I really feel for her, honest! I just hope for her sake, that she doesn't completely fall apart on stage during tomorrow nights VP debate with Sen. Biden.

Honestly people, who caaaares if she can't name a single Supreme Court case! I mean really, it's not like she'll be leader of the free world....Oh waaaait a minute, doh!!!

KATIE, KATIE, KATIE. WHY DID YOU ASK THE GOVERNOR SUCH A GOTCHA QUESTION?

WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK HER QUESTION LIKE WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE COUNTRY WHICH YOU ARE A GOVERNOR THAT BORDERS U.S.A?
IM SURE SHE WOULD HAVE SAID RUSSIA BECAUSE SHE CAN SEE IT FROM HER HOUSE.

THANK GOD OCTOBER SURPRISE – SARAH PAIN-LIN – CAME EARLY!!!!!!!!

NOW LET THE FREE-FALL OF THE McSAME CAMPAIGN BEGIN........................................

It is one thing for someone to not realize when TV was not yet invented...especially during one of the most widely covered events in the history of our country. It is another thing for someone to say they have foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from some places in Alaska and Alaska is right by Canada. There are a number of states that neighbor Canada and Mexico...does that mean the citizens and politicians in those states have foreign policy experience?

I fear for this country because people are not realizing that all of the wrongs will not be righted within the next four years.

I am just wondering how the media is trying to railroad Sarah? I think Couric has asked very simple questions. I don't think any one is really out to "get her" She is doing fine on her own...Maybe you all think this becasue they are reporting it? She is actually saying it no one else.
John McCain lost my vote (was not sure which I would vote for at the time) the day he picked her. I am very offended that he sought the womans vote in this fashion. It is pathetic, you would think he would know that there is more to "us" than that! Who is running his campaign? Well never mind I do not care anymore.

Palin has trouble naming anything other than 'My Little Pony' and other commensurate literature. She needs to stay in Alaska with the other 'hockey moms'... the ones who are probably helping her to pronounce multi-syllabic words.

To answer those who say that other people cannot name a Supreme Court cases they disagree, I say that not everyone is running for Vice President. Nor do we vote for just anyone for Vice President. So what's your point exactly? Would you vote for your drinking buddy or your local PTA president? She is not supposed to be just anyone. She is supposed to be able to be an extremely intelligent individual who has the potential to lead this great county of ours. Need I point at the last eight years as proof of why we do not want idiots in the White House? Please vote with your brains and vote for the Obama/Biden ticket.

A lot of people on here are making fun of Palin. I am not. I served 4 years in the military. I did so because I wanted uphold and protect the constitution and to protect the president of the USA. This lady has humiliated this country and the most prestigious office in the world. This lady is fantastically ridiculous.

Doug the media doesn't need to "Attempt" To corner the Governor she is very much capable on doing it herself from what we have seen, I still don't see how anyone has any grounds to support her anyways at first everyone was saying look Obama lacks experience well this shut everyone up!

OK, people. This woman is a not even close to being qualified. I'm not saying she's a total idiot.....but I will say that anyone who still thinks she should be vice president is a total idiot. Idiots, you know who you are....

To Christine...The liberal media elite chooses to attack people who aren't just like them ( watch or listen to Lou Dobbs)...He has some interesting insights into the media elite and Communist China for that matter. My guess is that Palin will exceed all expectations of her tomorrow night!!

Gee, this woman is SCARY...and she could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
McCain made a bad judgement picking her.

Enough already. Seems you guys like selective 20 questions. Where is the uproar over Obama's ACORN connections. Notice how he was conspicuously absent from the rescue bill. Where is Joe Biden's articles?

Palin is the new Hillary. Hillary is the new lipstick pig. Go home Bill, Go home Hillary we don't need you to beat Nobama.

Are we gonna talk about Biden's positions are any issues? Your slanted so called "journalism" is a joke. Katie Couric is a pawn in the liberal media circus. You should be ashamed.

This just shows (yet again) that she knows very little and is obviously not an intellectually curious person. It is important that our president and vice president be thoughtful and intelligent people. Why does America keep selling itself short by voting for morons? McCain did himself and his country a disservice by choosing this idiot.

Have you ever heard someone who could talk and talk and talk and still not make any sense!

I'm an Obama supporter and I feel very sorry for Palin. I have no doubt she is a gifted Governor, but McCain only chose her because he wanted to get more women voters and he knew it would be the only way to win against an African-American nominee. If he chose Bobby Jindal, then Obama might've been in trouble because he could also get young voters and he has more political knowledge. McCain is only using Palin and it is not fair to her and if they lose, her political career will be tarnished.

Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Failin Palin for VP, NO WAY. More on this moron tomorrow.

Hello???
Jeffrey, you said: "it's just another proof that Palin has not spent any significant part of her life concerning herself with issues outside of her own narrow scope of government."

So what? When Biden was asked the same question, he named a court case based on legislation he had written…he didn't go outside his "own narrow scope of government," either!

Give Palin a break! !

I think she banned the law and history books from the library...thats why she can't recall any historical landmark cases. What a clown this woman is, I mean as an Obama supporter I love it but my doesn't she say so much about "The Maverick" and his judgement (lack thereof)? As governor of a sleepy little state one-fifth the size of Chicago, by all means be clueless...but I think her eyes were much hungrier than her stomach when she accepted the nomination. What a joke...

The media shouldn't be criticized for exposing the truth; Sarah Palin is unprepared and ill suited to be on a presidential ticket. The MSM should be praised for making the public aware of the deficits of a candidate.

You Obama lovers, no matter what McCain or Palin do or say you going to hate.You are blind and don't see that Obama is just bla bla bla. Tell me one!!!! thing Obama did good or his judgment.O YEEE ,REZKO and other Ghicago "BUDDY'.

To those who say Biden has also provided lots of mistakes – he's also given about 100 more interviews. Do something like a "gaffe per minute" analysis and compare all four candidates. There's no question Palin leads it by far. McCain should have let the press interview her from the start – she wouldn't be so nervous, she'd have a handle on how to do it, and a few mistakes wouldn't be that big of news – just like it's not when McCain, Obama, or Biden make silly mistakes. The only reason McCain and Co. didn't let her talk with the press from the start is that they knew it wouldn't make much a difference. She might be great for Alaska, but that doesn't mean she'll be any good for the country as VP or possibly president.

She is an empty-headed fake and a killer of beautiful, innocent, helpless animals.

Does anyone know her GPA in high school and college??

How interesting - people here calling her moron or unqualified for not being able to name a landmark case, but when Obama stated :"Over the last fifteen months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states, I think — one left to go..."–THAT'S WHEN YOU REALIZED HOW BRILLIANT HE WAS...

Not many interviews where Obama has to give examples of regulatory history, or for that matter complex specifics on any one issue, the media left ask surface questions, they do not ask for detailed examples of national security, foreign policy, and so on , had Obama been interviewed by over paid Coric, the questions would have been far left complex, far left casual, far left irrelevent, and just plain far left stupid.

Maritza

To all of you who blame John McCain....Newsflash..Sarah Palin didn't have to accept.
She isn't qualified and she know's it, but she accepted anyway and now the Republican Party is paying for it.

This just furthers my position. I have been a Republican all my life, but with the pick of Sarah Palin as VP...I have to vote for Mr. Obama in this election. I don't think the media is being unfair to her, I just think she isn't prepared. Even I can admit when the Republican ticket isn't as strong as it has been in the past, and vote accordingly. I urge fellow Republicans to do the same...it's not shameful; I actually feel very proud of myself that I can look further than my political affiliation and do something good for my country!

sarah palin is the bridge to nowhere, and john mccain is definitely the road to nowhere.!!

Fellow Republicans,

Run, Run to Barack Obama – he will restore integrity and intelligence to our government once more. You don't want to be responsible for electing Sarah Palin VP and potentially, god forbid, President. The Republican party needs a time out so that it can find its soul again.

S (arah)................ T...............O................P (alin)!!!! (notice the capital letters).

Obama is friends with domestic terrorists, McCain isn't. Looks like this is an easy decision. Obama has no respect for private property, McCain does. Easy decision. Obama is bussing in homeless drunks and addicts to vote in Ohio, McCain isn't.

Yup i know who i want as President.

My 5 years old just pointed to the TV when Palin was on and said: "Mommy, is she a comedy actor?"

I said no baby, she's running for Vice President of the United States with John McCain.

Then she said: "That old guy? Mommy don't vote for them, they seem stupid"

This woman has accomplished the impossible She actually makes Bush look smart!

Greg – Atlanta , You are too funny! When I read your blog, I laughed soo hard. I ran to get my daughter to show her, She fell on the floor laughing (Bullwinkle) Ha! Ha!! tooo funny!

C'mon CNN...whats up with your site...I have posted several times and my post disappear...guess not pro-Obama enough..Palin is okay. She is real and we need some real people in DC. Also, why does CNN only report when Obama takes a lead in the national polls, and not when he is declining, as he has done for the past few days. Instead, you post articles that still make it look like Obama is pulling ahead when the truth is, he is losing ground.

I have read a number of the comments against Gov. Palin. First, before you put your comments in writing on the internet, learn how to spell and construct proper sentences. It's kind of ironic that some of you call her unqualified. Washington is full of "qualified" people, and how has that worked for you? Kind of brings the names Curly, Mo and Larry to your mind doesn't it? Then, of course, the dyed-in- the-wool Obama media is having a ball with their 'trip Sarah up' game. I wonder if they even suspect how juvenile they appear. She probably has more common sense and interest in our country than the whole Washington mob combined, and we will probably all rue the day that McCain or Obama becomes president.

to quote this other guy: "if palin's ever elected, I'm out of this planet"

Didn't you hear? The VP debate has been moved to comedy central!!! The comedian is Palin, she will definitely make us laugh.

I wish I could debate most of the idiots on this blog site.

Making statements about Mrs. Palin's character are out of line. To call her names like moron only serves to inflame her supporters. One does not become elected to be a Governor nor picked as a VP candidate by being a moron. That said, her lack of knowledge of Supreme Court rulings is troubling, as is her lack of knowledge of foreign policy, economics, social welfare, and domestic policy, etc. I am probably as qualified as she to be the VP pick. I would be honored to be asked, but the difference is, I know my limitations, and I know that there are others who are consummately more qualified than I and would graciously decline. That is what Sarah should have done.

Ok, maybe she can't name one of the top of her head (though I think she should name at least one), I'm more amazed on how she tried to dance around not knowing. I would have more respect for her if she would just admit it to begin with!!!

Joe Biden has done over 100 interviews since becoming Barack Obama's running mate. If you include the two interviews Palin has done on conservative talk radio, she's had a total of five. Let's suppose, just for a second, that Biden has made gaffes in 20 interviews, while Palin has gaffed up just 2 (Gibson and Couric).

That's still only a 20% "gaffe rating" for Biden, versus a 40% gaffe rating for Palin.

So for those of you who think that Joe Biden is much less informed than Palin, maybe he's made more mistakes just because he's done twenty times the number of interviews! By percentage, Palin is still the gaffe queen.

If Obama wins the Election we are all going to live in Hell on Earth. Everyone has a right to their opinion. There are leaders and followers in this world and there seems to be a lot of followers. Do your research-extensive research to obtain the facts. Too many people are relying on the media and someone else's opinion to create their own. If you dont have a mind of your own-DONT VOTE!

How about "exxon vs. brown" ?? the one she came out against because Exxon had the settlement cut... that case was ABOUT Alaska... she should have known that one at least.

Obama thought there were 58 states!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares??????

C'MON GIVE HER A BREAK.

GIVE PALIN A BREAK!!!

If we had just given her a few more minutes, I am CERTAIN she could have AT LEASE named Diana Ross.

Palin is the best thing to ever happen to the Obama/Biden picture...

I have hard time believing that ANY DEMOCRAT would vote for McCain/Palin unless you're racist! If that's true, the DEMOCRATIC PARTY doesn't want you! Save us all and find another party!

This white woman from rural Montana supports Barack Obama and Joe Biden!

This may be one of many reasons why Obama is starting to pull away from McCain. Obviously, Sarah Palin is extremely disqualified and McCain and his advisers knew it, but they think they can get her into real politics. I doubt this will happen. It is quite shameful of what McCain, Palin, and most of the Republican Party did to this country. If we vote for McCain and Palin, it will seal our faith and the country could be in grave danger.

Could it be any more obvious which VP candidate is more educated and informed. Sarah can't name a newspaper she reads and now is caught being clueless about anything in the history of the Supreme Court!? This woman is a genius about one thing, saying something while saying nothing at all!

Ouch!

The liberal media or consevative media are not answering these soft questions. It is not a crime to admit you do not know the answer if you do not. What's not ok is to try to bluff the american public. We knew nothing of this candidate. Seems like Sen. McCain gamble is blowing up in his face!!

Just a cheerleader with no game.

Sad McCain is stupid enought to think Americans want to be burdened with her in charge of our nation

she believes in jeebus, she must be VP!!!!

CNN failed to mention it, but the really important part of this exchange was the fact that Gov. Palin said that she believed that there is a constitutional right to privacy – which is the legal underpinning of cases that the right hates such as Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, etc. Conservative jurists categorically reject a constitutional right to privacy. As a liberal of course I'm all for the right to privacy, but it's pretty flabbergasting that Palin apparently has no concept of the political meaning of this crucial issue. It seemed like she'd never even heard of it before.

Are you republican people SERIOUSLY endorsing this moron? If you don't know say something to the affect of "You know, the name slips my mind right now." Be a little more creative, Palin. You're making yourself look even worse every time you open your mouth.

I truly think Sarah Palin is a smart, intelligent individual. I give her respect for eliminating the corrupt politicians in Alaska. I also think she has great charm and charisma. My concern is in regards to how quick she can think on her feet. I am in sales and silence is not a bad thing. Ingest the question, Think your answer, then Respond. It's not a race. I think she knows the answers, but can't conjour up the verbiage to speak what she may actually know. Even the lousiest politician knows how to navigate around a question enough to answer questions in such a manner as not to truly answer the question. She cannot .

Come on guys. This is just another "gotcha question."

If the Katie wanted to be fair, she would have asked Sarah to name her favorite justice.

Then, Sarah would have said she likes "Justice For All."

Palin sounds like a teenage slacker who hasn't prepared for an essay exam and tries to bluster her way through it. She is dangerously stupid.

I can name some court cases. Can I be VP?

How come no one asks Obama to explain derivatives or CDO's or to give us the details of Marbury vs. Madison, etc:?

Why does he get to skate and she gets quizzed to death? Some day
women will stop putting up with this but I guess not yet.

Women are pathetic and that's why Ferrarao failed, that's why Hillary failed, and that's why Palin will fail. Women know who they are and are consequently afraid to have a woman in the White House.

I don't understand Sarah Palin. I don't understand her supporters.
If you don't like the Obama/Biden ticket then just don't vote. Please don't put this woman in the 2nd highest office in the land just because you don't like Obama. Voting for the Republican ticket in this election is just irresponsible.

it is not just that she couldn't name a single court case; it was the way in which she answered the question. If she didn't know the specific name of a court case, she could have said so and instead referred to the substance of the case. Instead, her answer evades, digresses, flounders, and just doesn't make any sense. My teenager could answer that question more clearly and coherently than Gov. Palin did.

This has to be a head fake doesn't it?????? I am speechless

The media is being to hard on Sarah. Questions should be geared to things she might have knowledge about...Like does a snowmobile have a gas engine or does it have pedals? She then could answer..."Like I think it has, well maybe like a gas engine" "Hey, I got a question right, I think. Make-up questions next please."

Good grief Charlie Brown! This woman can come up with more non sequiturs than George W!
Nice to see the Republicans are continuing their tradition.
She'll fit in just fine I'll betcha.

WoW, is this what the Republicans want as a VP? If McCain and Palin do get the White House (which I don't think they will) the Republicans won't see another President/VP in a long time........and forget the Senate and House........this woman will take you all down.

Not being able to name a Supreme Court case is one thing, but not even understanding the case you want to overturn is another. What really disturbed me is that Palin opposes Roe v Wade while paradoxically agreeing in a constitutional right to privacy, the foundation of the Supreme Court's Roe decision. So which is it, Governor Palin? Does the 14th Amendment guarantee women a right privacy or is privacy something that each state should individually decide to provide or deny?

Does she have an answer for anything? God, I never thought someone would make George Bush look smart.

Hey Sarah Palin, if you got anything else to say, please raise your hand and put it over your mouth!!!!!!

Isn't it interesting that John McCain can't speak about anything without his 3×5 cards and that Sarah can't remember anything from a basic american history or civics course without prompting. Palin exhibits the typical beauty pagent bimbo thought pattern and responds accordingly; meaning, talk long enough and maybe you will stumble over a partially correct answer.

I'll tell you this, she hasn't even been asked a question about american government that is more difficult than the new questions asked of prospective citizenship candidates. McCain should be ashamed of foisting such an uncompetent person for the second most powerful position in the world on the American people. I ask all americans who value their freedoms and future to vote against this ticket forged in hell.

Let's see: Palin can't name a Supreme Court case, likely because she's never read one including Roe v. Wade. Obama teaches Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago School of Law and was editor of Harvard Law Review. This is such a tough decision, I just can't make up my mind.

....
Doug, how is the "liberal media elite" making Sarah Palin incapable of answering questions that a VP should be able to?

Simple, they're not. Her inability to answer the same type of questions that has been asked of EVERY other candidate is a reflection on her not a result of media bias.

It has gotten to a point where I pity this woman because McCain simply used her for the female vote.

Now that is the clearest and most insulting case of SEXISM that has occurred during this entire political process!

People quit starting off your comment with "I'm an independent and I think Barrack Obama is the greatest" We aren't stupid, true independents and true Republicans won't fall for it. You are a Democrat, you want Barrack to win, Palin can say anything to make you happy. If I read another CNN Ticker about Palin not being able to name what magazine she reads, where she eats, what McCain had for dinner last Thursday or whatever they wanna play "Gotcha" on I'm going to puke. This is pathetic, 99% of you don't know a Supreme Court Case or don't care, the ONLY one Biden can come up with is one that he wrote? Seriously thats much better? Keep playing "gotcha" politics, I'll keep ignoring your liberal comments.

This woman is an anchor around McCain's neck and I hope he keeps it until after November 4th.

Anyone who reads the above two paragraphs can only conclude that Sarah Palin can't put together a coherent sentence, let alone express a well-thought out reply.

It is utterly terrifying to think of her as President, let alone Vice-President, let alone county dogcatcher.

Whatever was John McCain thinking–or not–when he vetted this person for one day, and chose her to be Vice-President of the United States?

WOW, that could be the leader of the free world if this country can't get over Obama being black

What really disturbed me is that Palin opposes Roe v Wade while paradoxically agreeing in a constitutional right to privacy, the foundation of the Supreme Court's Roe decision. So which is it, Governor Palin? Does the 14th Amendment guarantee women a right privacy or is privacy something that each state should individually decide to provide or deny?

Let's not be fooled by her political tactics. Of course she should have stated the recent Exxon Mobil case. Everyone in Alaska has been consumed by this case for the past 20 years. It has devastated the fishing industries, the economy of parts of the state and the lives of many Alaskans who have been waiting for the case to be resolved. However, if she mentioned this case she would be rallying against the money of big oil companies. I think she doesn't want to give voters a reason to disagree with her. If she avoids the issues, no one has any reason to disagree with her. Only argue she is not qualified.

Doug, how is the "liberal media elite" making Sarah Palin incapable of answering questions that a VP should be able to?

Simple, they're not. Her inability to answer the same type of questions that has been asked of EVERY other candidate is a reflection on her not a result of media bias.

It has gotten to a point where I pity this woman because McCain simply used her for the female vote.

Now that is the clearest and most insulting case of SEXISM that has occurred during this entire political process!

Well, is anyone surprised?. It was clear from the beginning that McCain likes pretty women around him and he thought this would up his case for "Women for Hillary "who are not dumb witted women anyway.What kind of fools does he think Americans are? The only ones who accept his choice of Sara Palin are fools.Didn't he test her knowledge along the way/before nominating her for VP? If not, they he is too stupid to be president and has much too poor judgement to run this country given this choice.

I am sure she was a good governor for Alaska, but Alaska is not the country of America and she is so poorly qualified to be VP that she should have known that and not accepted.How could she think she knew enough to be that close to the presidency witht his old guy at the helm,?

She needs to go home and take care of that very needy baby and teen and I am a feminist who thinks women can do anything. Family comes first though.

Hey Doug...wake up! They are not trying to corner her! In fact they are giving her softball questions! At least say you dont know..not give some rambling answer that makes no sense!

I would like to put the entire drama on the broad shoulders of John McCain. Yes, Sarah's ambition has played a role (she wants the VP job), but it is John's mistake that she is VP. It is John that has made the decision to have her as VP. It leads to a bigger drama: the validity of his judgements and his decision making. That is scary, as he has to make a lot of them as president of one of the world's great nations.

> What difference does it make if you can/can't name court cases?

What difference does it make if you can/can't balance a budget, engage diplomats, debate ideas for the nation or stimulate the economy? It's not like she's running for Vice President or anything ... oh wait...

Greg,
Katie Couric is not a democrat. Palin was awful in that interview and every other one where she was given a chance to speak without script. This is no joke and people need to stop playing this game because it makes the person supporting her seem just as empty headed as she is.

The people of Alaska must not watch the news because the elected a candidate who was indicted the month before (Stevens). Therefore, it is not wonder how Palin got elected as governor.

This ignorant woman will be a heartbeat to the presidency with a 72 year old multiple cancer surviver who has awful judgement.

Obama/Biden 08 by a landslide

Funny how CNN has not mentioned anything about Thursday's night moderator writing a book about Obama. Can she be objective? No, she wants to sell books. CNN should be fair in it's coverage. You guys are in the tank for Obama. I'm sure this response will not be posted.

McCain – Palin 2008

I am also a republican who is gonna vote for Obama! I am tired of the McCain lies and McCain is not the same hero he used to be once.

Hey everyone, we need Obama to win. I just got laid off, again. This time they said i was stealing. The money in the register was MINE, they owed it to me. I have had 3 jobs in 2 years. I am tired of working and really dont care about working. Vote Obama for me.

Chad .. however much I disagree with your view point, your closing arguement had me laughing forever .. HAHA mr. Lipton ..

"In what respect,Joe???"............Just a teaser from tomorrow's vice-presidential debate.

Amazing, truly amazing, cant belive that this woman is sooo very close to being the VP of this country. A McCain victory will be the begining of the end of America.

Don't worry Sarah, being able to name a Supreme Court case or not, doesn't mean squat! Half of the hypocrites that bad mouth you would be hard pressed to tell you what they had for breakfast the day before.

This has to be a debate tactic, right? No one is that stupid.

More "Gotcha Journalism" John?? hahahahaha

Joe Biden is a lawyer, he better know some cases he disagreed with. Palin is not a lawyer. She didn't go to law school. I'm guessing most laymen can't name cases they disagree with.

What did she say?????????????????????/
It does not take much to make Sarah look bad. She does it all on her own. If she does not have a researched and canned campaign answer she is lost. It is OK to not know everything but it is not OK to pretend you do!
Say good night Sarah!

Good observation - it is a really, really big deal for someone who wants to be a septuagenarian's heart beat away from the being the most powerful person on earth.

Obama is cuter than McCain, that's why he has my vote.
As of Palin not remembering court cases – look at you bunch of smart a$ses commenting here, I want to see one of you interviewed on national television. Bet you'd pee your pants before you'd even dare saying something, let alone give a speech.

OH I forgot...........

The bulldog might want to retouch her lipstick..........
Its fades each time her lips part.......

Here, I think, is the importance inherent in whether or not a vice-presidential nominee can name Supreme Court cases.

I live fairly close to Gettysburg, where 51,000 Americans were killed or seriously wounded in the most terrible battle of a civil war that began because of the injustice and cruelty of slavery. Six years before that battle, in Dred Scott vs. Sanford (1857), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that African Americans could never claim U.S. citizenship. It saddens and alarms me that Gov. Palin could not name even this most outrageous of the court's decisions.

Bad Supreme Court decisions matter. They should matter to anyone who seeks to lead this country.

. . .Sarry Potter belongs at Hogwarts, not the White House.

This is really sad. I know Biden has numerous gaffes as well, but his are at least mixing of names and dates with the correct intent. Palin clearly has no clue what she is talking about. I can't believe this nonsensical rambling full of catch phrases is considered a response.

I think of the quote from Billy Madison, "everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.."

What could palin and Putin possibly talk about? Oh I know –

Toboggins and Walrus blubber!

Has anyone thought of whether Palin could cheat with an earpiece with which she's being fed the answers???? Do they check the candidates before the debate begins for any devices that could be used to cheat?

I do not know many cases but I can name Brown vs. Board of Education. Maybe she should have been asked what kind of an animal was Mickey Mouse or what is the best way to dress a moose. I feel for her but I feel anger for Senator McCain for placing this woman in this position. I can understand how she would jump at the chance to become the first female to be the Vice President of the USA but McCain knew what she was going to go through before he ever named her so my anger is towards this man who claims "COUNTRY FIRST".

Wow. I strongly suspect we will get no details in the debate from Palin. All of her answers will be very generic and she will just do a bunch of bashing. While I'm sure the Obama haters will love Palin bashing her opponent, bashing will do absolutely nothing to help this country if she is allowed in the White House. We have enough problems already, with Palin I'm afraid we will have even more.

Who cares!!! Obama didnt how many states there were. Obama didnt know he grandfather didnt storm the beaches. Biden didnt know we didnt have TV during the great depression. So who cares!!!

Good grief. I am so sick of hearing about what the vultures of tv have dragged out of Palin. Katie, Anderson, Charlie...they can't get enough ratings telling news that they've all turned themselves into what amounts to nothing more than scandal and entertainment tv. Forget the news! Can we draw blood??? So, so sick of them all and I don't care if I ever see them on tv again. Especially you, Anderson! I used to watch you with my kids. You all discust me now. What ever will you talk about when the election is over? I'm sure you'll be hanging out at what ever roadkill you can find. When you get tired of Palin, you be sure to ask Biden if he remembers what he had for breakfast..or maybe ask some people in goverment if they remember ridiculing the republicans a few years ago (look for the videos on utube) for trying to get them to wrangle in fannie and freddie. You don't care about the truth, it's not juicy enough for you and doesn't have the right angle. You are all a huge failure and dissappointment to journalism. Goodness, how we all miss Tim.

If Biden disagreed with the Violence Against Women's Act case (name escapes me now) perhaps he can explain which part of the Act triggered the Commerce Clause. Listen, the majority of people in Washington are law school grads who took a full year of Con Law. Palin, like most "average Americans" cannot name SCOTUS cases other than Roe v. Wade. If you wanna know the worst decision, it's Kelo and if Obama has his way he'll nominate justices like those who formed the majority in Kelo.

She has a superficial understanding of how this country operates. No way should someone like this lead, or even be considered for VP...much less a chance at President.

she is Pitiful, but so is McCain, imagine what the white house would be like with her as president. One thing for sure, gwb and her have alot in common! They are both DUMB! very sad to be the president and a state governor. This has to be embarressing for Alaska to watch this dummy!

Sarah Palin is like her Alaskan Governor's Mansion: The lights are on, but nobody's home!

Does Palin realize how unprepared she is to be any party's VP nominee and how uneducated and simple-minded she is in American, let alone international, politics? On a personal level, it is sad that she does not realize the great danger she will put the USofA in, if she were to ever become president. Is it out of ignorance or selfish ambition that she remains in the running?

Sarah Palin should quit. She is inept and with her verbal jab at Joe Biden in regards to age she managed to insult her presidential candidate, insulted everyone older than she is, and sounded like a grade school child. When my daughter was two her greatest insult was to call anyone who offended her, including me, "Baby!" This is exactly how she sounded.

Good observation - Yeah, it is a really, really big deal for someone who wants to be one beat of septuagenarian's heart away from being the most powerful person on earth.

I love how so many people are blaming the 'liberal media elite' for cornering and trapping the governor.

Do you people really want to be led by someone that would be "trapped" by the question, 'name a Supreme Court case. ANY Supreme Court case"?

The only person offhand I can think of who might be stumped by this is my nephew. He's seven. Then again, he can see Canada from his backyard, so perhaps he's qualified too......

What? What? I am trying to understand this woman, but seriously! I can't understand a word she says!

This just further proves that the McCain campaign is headed by and supporting the worlds biggest dumba*ses.

Oh, and to some of the people commenting on the electoral map post who think I support McCain: I'm an Obama supporter.

All I have to say Gov. Palin is....YOU SHOULD HAVE BLINKED

McCain is not about COUNTRY 1st.

Silly Sarah the moosehunter goes to Washington – and "meets the press" – well, only the friendly ones.

This is why my family and I are not voting for McCain, he showed poor judgment in her selection and I fear for my Grandchildren if Obama doesn't win this election!

The best thing the poor Sarha can do for her party is to go home quietly and take with her our VP Channey with her and take him to the mountings of Alaska and teach him how to be a better SHOORER

SP=Start Packing

is it wrong that i'm starting to look forward to reading/watching/hearing about the stupid stuff she says each day? i mean, this is getting absolutely ridiculous.

and had i known that all that's needed to govern the largest state in the union is a crappy BA, then i would have never gone back to school to become a doctor.

How about the case she released a statement as governor concerning the reduced the amount of money to be paid to the state of Alaska for the Exon oil spill?

The only way she can make up for all her dumb answers is if they put an ear peice in her ear tomarrow night, If her hair is down I would check to make sure she dont, I wouldnt put it past mccain .

I believe the question was what Supreme Court case did she disagree with. Just because she couldn't name one off the top of her head doesn't mean anything. I went to law school and I can't name one without some thought. Roe v. Wade is commonly known. Honestly, how many people can name a Supreme Court case that they disagree wtih without the help of gooogle?

As an Obama supporter I can name all the judges.

Randy, Paula and Simon.

Feeling Sorry for 72 year old man who is running this election alone against OBAMA/BIDEN/PALIN

Once again she really doesn't know anything that is going on. She doesn't answer a question just skirts around it with a lot of empty words. No one can learn all they need to know to help run our country in the short amount of time she has tried. I hope that everyone is learning this.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008

wow. i had trouble too, naming cases i disagreed with, but mccain picked her for VICE-PRESIDENT?? i liked mccain back in the day, when he was truly mavarick-y, but now? this isn't the same guy. and palin? wow.

i feel bad for her, really. they should lay off a bit, but we need to hear this. mccain made a mistake keeping her under wraps for so long.

that was not a very good answer. but.hey, she's purty!

huh?

McCain take her off your ticket. I bet you she don't know how to spell POTATOE (smile)

We all know she does not read............TRAILER PARK TRASH

I actually don't think I could stand to watch the debate, I think McCain is going to ruin Palin's career.

For some odd reason, people want to blame the Katie Couric for Sarah Palins ineptitude.

The fact is that she isn't very educated as far as the world outside of Alaska is concerned.

She may be aesthetically prepared to appear as VP but all she has is her appearance and no substance whatsoever.

She should have just said Present, like Nobama usually does.

Good pick Sen. McCain!

I have to admit, I'm starting to like Sarah Palin. I mean, her voice is obnoxious and I still know nothing about her ideals... I just like how she's motivating people to become Obama supporters.

You must be kidding, this woman is a joke

Do you want this woman to be a heart attack away from the Whitehouse? This is crazy. She has no degree in law, poly-sci, econ, or any of key areas. This is crazy, and the GOP is backing this? She trying to make her 16 year old daughter marry he 17 year old babies daddy, she's out of touch when she made this comment in church "Its God's plan to fight the war in Iraq", and if you think Rev. Wright is bad; check out Miss Palin's minister and his past sermons. This is crazy!!! I don't like Mrs. Clinton, but atleast I can respect her career, unlike Miss Failin and Mc Shame.

OF COURSE! She is not prepared.

She is not well-educated.

She is not smart.......nor eloquent.

You know, IF Palin was a Democrat the Republican-family-values-right-wing-nuts would be shouting for her to return to her newborn!

The family-first-right-wing-nuts would be shaming Palin for PUTTING CAREER ABOVE FAMILY!

BUT SHE IS REPUBLICAN SO THE FAR-RIGHT-FAMILY-FIRST-VALUES...........IS ............SILENT.

Why does she keep doing these interviews?

She is an affirmative action type hiring.....except in her case, she truely IS unqualified for the job. She doesn't even meet the minimum qualifications as far as I'm concerned.

To listen to pundits speak of her as if she is like Reagan or Clinton just makes me want admit myself to the mental institution........

because I must be the crazy one.

McCain cancelled out and invalidated the country's need for his extensive experience the moment he nominated Palin. His decision was irresponsible, and now casts a shadow of doubt on his ability to use sound judgment and make rationale decisions.

Ugh! I'm sick of her being he smoke screen for Mccain and his magic show!! Enough with this idiot!!

I am by all means a Democrat but I do give McCain credit for knowing his stuff and being experienced.

But this is just insane... So many qualified women in the GOP and this is the thing he could come up with???

How dare these arrogant, pompous, self-serving senators go against their constituents to stick us with this lousy bill! The Senate seems to have forgotten that our political system is a democracy. Vote against every last one of them. Their purpose for their senate seats is to serve those who have given them seats in the first place. This is a terrible day in American history where the voices of the people are silenced. Vote out these corrupt self-serviing creeps!

McCain – A True American Hero

Palin – A Definite Unknown

Obama – Anti-American Terrorist Magnet

Biden – Just Plain Dumb

Stan, Chad, Doug,
No matter how you try to spin it, your VP candidate is an idiot. Would you trust this woman with your life savings? Would you trust her with your child's futures? Would you trust her to make the right decision if your life depended on it? Would you trust her to keep our soldiers safe in a time of war? Would you trust her to deal with Iran, Russia, China and other nations? Would you trust her to deal with North Korea? Would she inspire confidence in our countires darkest hour? These are all questions one must ask themselves when you have a presidential candidate that is over 70 years old.

Doug, Doug, Doug...

You just dont get it do you.

First of all, Palin has doug her own hole....then repeatedly jumped in it every time she speaks. Couric didn't put the words in her mouth, and Couric didnt say 'I can see Russia from my house'.

Secondly, in case you haven't noticed, it is now REPUBLICAN "media elite" including the National Review, that have suggested she step down.

Get your facts straight.

How about the Exxon Valdez case? At the time of this decision Palin said she disagreed with it. It involves energy, her specialty. Also i t revolved around the worst oil spill in Alaska's history. Oh well, I guess she just forgot–not surprising given her uninformed, rambling answers to other questions. She is soooo lame.

I dont blame Sarah Palin for her gaffes mistakes, I blame John Mccain because he knew this woman was unqualified,so i blame you John Mccain for putting this woman thru this,because Sarah Palin didnot deserve this, because she really is a very gifted politican,who is being kept then this plastic bubble by the Mccain campaign,

See, here's the thing: they NEVER ask any of the other candidates these type of questions, whether it be Biden, Obama, or McCain. They simply don't ask them. It's always Sarah Palin they ask these kind of "gotcha" questions to "see how much she knows." It simply isn't done with the other candidates. She is being held to a higher standard than candidates who have been in Washington for years and years.

I think I am living in bizarro world.

She knows nothing.

This lady is dumber than a box of rocks. Choosing her as a running mate speaks volumes about John McCain. God help us if these bozos actually get elected.

Your answers are really helping democrats SARAH. Keep it up.

and yet people like her. America is dumb

hmm..........SHE IS RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

BIg deal She cannot name a court case. Our current House and Senate cannot count to $700 billion.

How ignorance she is!

Again, I am not amused by Sarah Palin's lack of knowledge about Supreme Court decisions that affect our lives. She does not know anything about economics, foriegn affairs, or supreme court decisions. She cn only tell us that she lost $20,000 in the stock market. A bit off focus, don't you think?

Wow...there's nothing left to be said.

Come on, Katie. Those questions aren't fair. Give her some good ones like would she feel guilty if she shot a moose and realized it was Bullwinkle. Or, if she believes kids with special needs should have birthday parties at McDonald's. Be fair and level the playing field!

Doug said,
"Coric has become Palin's nemesis. The liberal media elite keeps attempting to corner the governor."

Doug let me buy you a free clue. Her own ignorance and John McCain have cornered her.

I just feel so sorry for this woman,because I no she knows about other cases,but its like she is so afraid to say anything,the Mccain camp has turned this woman into a zombie,this is so sad,Mccain knew this woman was so unqualified when he picked her,thats why I dont blame Sarah Palin for her mistakes,I blame John Mccain 100%

Jesus Praising...

Are you paying attention? Have you seen the all out public humiliation this woman has subjected herself to these past couple of weeks? I wouldn't trust this woman with my breakfast order at IHOP, I mean COME ON! When are the republicans going to admit that McCain would of been better of picking Ozzy Osbourne than Sarah Palin as his VP choice?

Why is she still doing interviews? I think we all should lay oiff her for a bit, just ignore her. The reason why I say this: Bush was made fun of for being dumb & ditzy. Rove used that to his advantage.
So, this may be a long shot, but maybe this is all an act that might repeat itself?

suprise, suprise.

Ms. Palin, often times as the Law Reads today has been set by Precedence; In the Books.

Oh My God please help us all. What was John McCain thinking? This just goes to the heart of who this man really is. This VP pick shows that he cares nothing about what is best for our country and clearly only cares about what he thought was best for his campaign.

This is just plain INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stunning!

The idea that the media is picking on Palin is ridiculous. Look at the questioning Joe Biden faces routinely. Every aspect of his life has been evaluated. Now, we're supposed to believe that it's sexist and unfair for Palin to receive similar treatment? Wouldn't it be much more sexist if she were treated differently and with "deference?" A Vice-President could very easily become President, with enormous amounts of responsibility and many crucial decisions to make, yet answering questions from journalists is too daunting a task? Talk about being out of your unqualified.

Can she be serious with these endless babbling answers? Hopefully its been all a show so she won't appear as dumb tomorrow night during the debate.

supreme what? i know what a supreme pizza is . i am a hockey mom. i know were to find the coupons. i know how to take on the pizza companies

If she's good at anything, it's avoiding the questions she cannot or will not answer. Maybe McCain should have chose Katie Couric for his VP, she's obviously more informed than Palin. We can't elect a person who can't even answer a reporter's questions.

I do not want a "Hockey mom" for President. As one of the statements said she is one very old heart beat away from becoming just that. She knows nothing and all the boot camps in the world will not get her the education she needs to be VP. I wanted Hillary but that did not happen. McCain thought that he could get those votes by putting a woman on his ticket. Not the same woman nor the same knowledge. To bad for McCain. Agan his judgement is lacking. He is a Bush supporter and will continue the Bush agenda. Let's try to get this country on the right track and McCain is not the way to go. But everyone please get out and vote.

This is pathetic. What a choice made by our maverick.

Is Palin talking english? She makes no sence, so I guess she must be talking in tongues.

Gov. Palin's interests revolve around state and local issues. And there is nothing wrong with that. She clearly has had no prior interest or self education regarding national or foreign affairs. And, again, there is nothing wrong with that if she is to be governor of Alaska. It is a problem when she is running for vice president. It is a fundamental, devastating flaw for anyone running to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. That lack of education and basic understanding is just not acceptable.

I am so over this.....enough is enough. Her complete ineptitude is making me sick.

Name Supreme Court Justices? She can't even name the tune her running mate is singing! She is incompitent and incapable of running her house let alone a country... But she does make for good TV on Saturday night hahaha

I graduated from law school in 1989, but never practiced law. I highly support Obama, but if I was asked this question on the spot, I also could not name a case. Palin is unfit for this job and shame on McCain for putting politics before country in picking her, but she doesn't deserve so much scorn. I didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was either.

It's too hard to watch. She's not smart enough to be considered an idiot.

I can't beleive this. Palin needs to go!!!

What difference does it make if you can/can't name court cases?

Full disclosure: I'm voting for Obama, albeit very reluctantly.

However, I think MSM is playing with fire with their attempts at humiliating this woman. They are going to create a groundswell of sympathy for her. Enough already.

What's the difference between Palin and Pres Bush? Lipstick!

Doug from 7:27 – it's time to admit to yourself that this woman is a buffoon. I love your regugitated phrase "liberal media elite" – where did you get that, Fox News? You and the McCain/Palin ticket deserve each other because none of you appears to be able to look at things other than from your own narrow viewpoint. It's sad, really.

Sarah Palin is the poster child for impulsive decision making by John McCain. It scares me that he could be the next president, let alone that she would be a heart-beat away. The rest of the world must be just befuddled.

My wife and I might have difficulty naming perhaps three or four Supreme Court cases, but for the candidate for VP for the Republican Party, not to be able to think of 1 other than Roe v Wade, is a real shame. How extensive was her vetting? It must have been the same as that of George W. Her choice again shows that lack of judgement in picking her and the cynical attempt to pick a physically attractive shallow woman to attract what he perceives as like women. He had intelligent, but perhaps less attractive women to chose from that would have helped him in the long term. Women have figured out this travesty and therefore are flocking to Obama because of it. And rightly so.

This is ridiculous! Why didn't she say the gitmo decision since she sneered and berated Obama in her convention speech for agreeing with that one. Oh I know why, she didn't even know what she was talking about when she said it! She was just reading a prepared speech from a teleprompter. The media fawned all over her for that speech and look what happens when she has to use her brain, there isn't anything there!!
MCPALIN keeps FAILIN!!

The woman is an idiot. Every time she opens her stupid mouth Obama gains another 10 votes. Long may her painted lips flap in the breeze.

"I love Sarah Palin, she's a Effin Genius!!!! WOOT!!! " She's just like me cuz I sure as hell couldn't answer ones other than Brown V. Board of Education, Dred Scott, Bush v Gore, oh and I don't know a few others...I love Joe Six Pack Sarah! Way to lead, and to think she'll appoint supreme court justices if she should become president. Unbelievable. I hate McCain for giving us this dimwit.

The vetting process for Palin must have consisted of looking at her bare-bones resume on paper, looking at the other people on the list (Ridge and Lieberman pro-choice, not enough Jesus freak – Romney, Mormon and McCain doesn't like him), and saying well, she's a woman so that'll get the Hillary supporters, and she's a super-anti-abortion right-wing Christian type, so that'll play well. How about McCain meets her and if he likes her, we'll do it. He meets her for 2 hrs, they hit it off, she's the nominee! They clearly didn't ask her to demonstrate any knowledge or ability at the national/international level. She is waaaay out of her league.

On another note, I certainly am against wife-beating, but I think the idea of stretching the commerce clause to apply to absolutely anything is silly.

Not surprise, she is dumb and clueless.

Does not shock me at all. Long winded, roundabout explanations don't cut it Palin. I hope the McCain teachers gave you a crash course for the debate.

Biden thinks FDR was president during the depression and that we had televisions.

This is the scariest candidate since GWB..... That womans' lack of any knowledge that I can see would benefit us by putting her into office is horrifying, but on the other hand, I think I'm more insulted by the republicans for thinking that the American public is dumb enough to honestly, truly believe that she is qualified to do more that be a hockey mom.... or maybe on the school board for the local schoold district in her home town. I'm so glad we have an alternative to underachieving for another 8 years. Go ahead America...waste your precious vote on more underachieving, selfish, egotistical morons.....

Josh,
Pennsylvania
Obama*Biden or bust.......

Not nearly as bad as Biden not knowing who was President during the Great Depression!

I actual gave Palin the benefit of the doubt and wanted to support her because I original supported Hillary. Unfortunately the more I listen to Palin the more I become convinced it would be a grave mistake. She's a great cheerleader. She's got the looks, she's got the great cheers, and she even sounds like many cheerleaders I've observed over the year.

I hope America doesn't fall it and put the fate of our nation in the wrong hands because of some great cheers.

This is becoming painful...

I've tried to give this woman some slack, but the time to give her an opportunity to get it together has come...and gone. This example of McCain's "lack" of wisdom, and good judgement proves to me that he isn't presidential material. I like McCain, but lets face it, he failed as an academic, he lost four naval aircraft, then got shot down and captured. That is a story, but it doesn't lift him to a position that makes him qualified to lead a nation, Mexico maybe, but not the USA.
Palin is the subject of this article, but the buck stops on McCains desk, and at 72 McCain in all honesty has a good chance of dying before his first term is over. Combined, McCain, and Palin don't come close to Obama's educational achievements, and if republicans believe that education isn't important, look at the US today, under Bush. Yeah, it was a joke at first, but step back and be honest with yourselves when you answer that question because a multi-trillion dollar economy is only one subject you had better understand. I don't need to be Dr. Kissinger to see that the GOP ticket is dangerous for Americans, and that won't be a skit worth watching on SNL. What are American republicans thinking. Palin, the ferry is waiting for you in Seattle, don't miss it, please for our sake. Sorry Alaskans, she's yours.

Where was Cnn's story when Biden said the wrong year for the depression? And he also go the president wrong?? He has had more goof ups then anyone else I have ever seen, but does the liberal media ever cover it? Of course not. . .CNN has become a joke, when Nancy Grace is the best show on the network, you know you have hit rock bottom. . .would I rather watch CNN or teabag a meat grinder?!?!?! Just call me Mr. Lipton

WHAT??????????????????????????????????????????????????

It was easier to find Waldo than to find her brain..

ALL CAN A IS WOW...CAN I RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENT??????

OBAMA/BIDEN

"uh golly gosh gee wiz, what was the question?" Do we really want this individual a heart beat from the presidency?

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

STOP THE MADNESS!

It doesn't bother me that she can't name a decision. What bothers me is her failure to make a complete sentence that communicates a distinct thought. What is she trying to say????????

correction-than

I think this is an elaborate ruse by the McCain campaign to set up really low expectations of their VP candidate. No one running for VP could actually have answered these questions that way Palin has. It can't be real - can it?

Gov. Palin, important cases are usually covered in high school government. Do they not offer that in Alaska? Maybe instead of looking at Alaska from your back yard, you should invest in some high school American government textbooks.

Good grief... Palin's being crammed as if leading America is a one-time exam... I think she has relied too heavily on her girlish posturing to get her through life and now the campaign and possibly the vice-presidency. However, there's no possible comparison between let us say, Hillary's strength, and Palin's giggles and ingenue voice and gestures. It's scary, the thought that this nice, ineffective, mainly idealess lady may find herself in a position to lead the country

uh golly gosh gee wiz..."what was the question again?" – What a mess! Republicans need to realize she could be the next leader of the USA. Do you really want this hardly educated individual running our country?

Doug, how did Couric "corner" Palin? She asked her the exact same question she asked Biden. I guess Couric "cornered" Joe Biden too.

Oy, oy, I am a "new " American and I know about the Supreme Court decision in Exxon -Valdez case ! It was news this summer in almost all the news papers she said she is reading......

If she promises to end evolution I will vote for her. So far she seems to be doing fairly well at it.

Sarah Palin Please......Save yourself while you're still Govenor of Alaska. Everyone including me would like to be Pesident or Vice President and to be considered isa Honor, But we all have to recognize our own limitation. I know I'm not qualified and neither are YOU!!! Go take care of Alaska. The Country will Thank You...That would really take guts and Leadership to tell Mc Cain... Thanks But No Thanks. You were being used by Mc Cain and He should be ashamed of himself. He needs to beg for your forgiveness.

wait till mr.barack ladin obama get into the white house. every tree
in the south guess who will be hang,pay back time is a real pain for
all the brown noses.

So the vice presidential choices are a lady who can't name a Supreme Court case she disagrees with, and a guy who thinks that the Interstate Commerce clause gives the Federal Government jurisdiction in domestic abuse crimes.

Perfect.

Couric how about ethical journalism! Your ratings are low!!!

Well, in fairness to her, court cases are not her forte. Biden's an attorney. So is Obama.

Let's just call it what it is... McCain made a political choice for his VP. Somebody he thought could bolster his conservative cred. He didn't even know her, and now he's spending an inordinant amount of time protecting her. Palin is not qualified. McCain makes dumb decisions. Perhaps there is a large population of America that still wants a not-qualified and dumb decision maker in the Whitehouse. That's their choice. I'm just going to chose the 2 smart guys. I sure hope others will join me.

Doug - Palin's ignorance is neither Couric's fault nor the "liberal media elite" (whatever that is). If she were up to the position of VP, she wouldn't be so easily stumped. Face it, her work experience as mayor and governor is just too narrow to have prepared her for the second-highest position in our great country. We deserve better. She is just not qualified.

Wow! What can I say? Many of these critical issues that Palin is ignorant of are taught in high school, at least in freshman college courses. How can a VP candidated come across as more ignorant that she already has. Pathetic indeed! And just sad, I almost feel sorry for her-almost.

I bet I could go down to my old middle school, where we had civics in eighth grade, and ask them about Supreme Court cases, and they'd be able to rattle off at least five.

Sen. McCain, you touted so many times that Sen. Obama isn't fit to lead. Now, I am asking you respectfully, do you think Gov Palin is fit to lead?

I'm not shocked by this at all. Biden care's so much about his work and people and it shows. Palin is out of her element and has no place insulting either Barack Obama or Joe Biden. I mean, she can't really think she's in the same league as Biden. They're so different you can't even compare them, it'd be like comparing apples to peanuts. It's no use insulting her because she makes a fool of herself on her own, so atleast the Obama campaign doesn't need to respond to her pathetic attmepts to attack their campaign.

~*Obama-Biden '08*~

Democracy seems to be done with in America as well as ethical journalism.

Oh give me a break! You have got to be kidding!
First.....No need comparing Obama's experience verses Palin's. This woman is incompetent. Her so-called experience isn't helping her. Give this experience argument a rest! She sounds like a 12 year old!
Second...Blaming the media for the failings of the McCain/Palin ticket is wearing thin. Stop making excuses for this duo! These two are clueless and are doing this to themselves!

Katie Couric has shown her true colors of someone having an axe to grind, shameful pandering behavior unbecoming of a news anchor. This was clearly a trick question designed to let Biden brag about the ONLY court case he had ever dealt with. Has Couric ever asked Obama any questions other than giving him more pillows?

When has anyone asked Obama or BIden that same question. Of any of the "a specfic" question when they talk in generalities.

Biden is great, she sucks.

Could this get any worse?? What a disgrace.

How about Bush v. Gore? The nonsense that got us here in the first place.

Surely she disagress with the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision? Or does she even know what that is?

The parallels between Couric/Palin and Frost/Nixon are uncanny.

Oh my, I cannot WAIT till Biden wipes the floor with this moron!
Your "ignoring the question" tactic won't work with us Sarah!

Boy, this girl's as dumb as a rock.....Baffle them with BS .. Sarah

This lady is as inexperienced as it can get. She couldn't make it as a Senator let alone the Vice-President. She needs to serve a term or two as a White House intern.

Wow.. and she's a step away from becoming President??? GOD HELP US ALL!

The biggest threat to our national security – Sarah Palin. Begesus, give her a life line someone.

I'm I the only one laughing...............?

When I saw parts of this interview on television while channel surfing I really thought I was watching a SNL spoof. Sadly it was the real thing.

amazing how the world wants Palin to be a walking encylopedia and Obama a savior!!!!

I guess she must have been out moose hunting when all that eminent domain stuff was going on.

This reminds me of that girl that was running for Miss Teen USA

Never underestimate stupidity. Look who has been in office for the past 8years. Oh well, if McCain and Painful do happen to win we will have a new segment on Letterman.

May god help us if the country elects these individuals to office!!!!!!!!!

So Biden only named one to. He didn't even mention Roe v Wade maybe thought it was unimportant and just touting what he wrote to look experienced.

Okay, the joke has gone on long enough. Put this woman out of her misery and bring on a real candidate!

I actually remember studying the case that Biden mentioned.

When you lower your expectation, an Alaskan caribou can look quite attractive.

( eminent domain)-my apology

GO JOE GO!

Anyone still expects anything intelligence from this "ordinary" hockey mom?? Poor lady.

McCain has BAD judgement yet he is in denial, which make things worse.

Ask a 5th grader about a famous federal case other than Roe vs. Wade, I bet you they can name another one. Palin, the gift that keeps on giving...

Huh? Is she joking?

Obama/Biden '08

Uh...wow. This just keeps getting scarier.

hahaha oh god its so funny hahaha stop no please stop my sides hurt hahahahahahaha

She is the complete republican; unthinking and uncaring. She remains moot about what she reads; when Bush leaves office he can mail you his books he read to Alaska, I am sure they are still in mint condition.

I don't think many Americans can name any Supreme Court cases. So what? Another left wing media stunt from Katie Couric.

The most important lesson in studying history is to learn from it and hopefully not repeat it. I am scared for our country when a potential future vice president doesn't even know it.

Umm...I don't know but I'll get back to ya!

Stupidity at it's worst, but it is amusing on so many levels

She has no experience and very little education. She would be VP with an undergraduate journalism degree? I get coffee in the morning from people who have higher education degrees than she does.

I don't want to say anything bad about Palin. I question the judgement of the person who picked her as his running mate when there were so many other stronger women.

Uhh... wow. So let me get this straight: this lady is the GOP's VP candidate? Really? Her?! No joke?

Seriously?

What a nice, rambling non-answer from Gov Palin.

Done with you guys & moving on to MSNBC....They will at least listen. You will not post anything I send and favor McCain so much... See ya

Its because she agrees with them all. DUH

Her grade school daughter could have answered that question.

Hey looky there – dumb, dumber, dumbest all in one neat little package. Sure. Yeah.

As an ALASKAN she should at least know about EXXON – VALDEZ cases! And in that case, if she were a supporter of her people, wouldn't she be AGAINST lowering the damages set forth?

McCain is running behind in the polls done by the most expert pollsters but not in the McCain camp's polls. Palin will probably have many appearances where she seems more articulate, but her major deficits cannot be erased.

Scary, ain't it.

But, then again, we have been subjected to George W.'s infinite wisdom for 8 long years ...

You know it's bad when Katie Couric is the one tripping her up.

I know I am beating a dead horse here, but McCain, you really shoulda vetted.

I'm wondering why McCain didn't just tap Harriet Myers for VP. I heard she's available.

Um what?

Then I guess she agrees with segregation and slavery. Any public official worth a wooden nickle ought to be able to name Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson.

She's a nitwit. The arrogance that went into her accepting this nomination is astonishing.

I hate to get on the pick-on-Palin bandwagon, but come on man!!! This woman is making Dan Quayle look like a Rhoodes (?) scholar.

Ha!!

Doug, she's doing this to herself, Couric is doing nothing but giving her the rope, Palin is hanging herself. (If I were Palin, I'd say hangin').

I don't know why anyone would be surprised. I mean, Governor Palin can't handle any interviews unless it is with right wingnuts like Hannity and Hewitt lobbing softballs at her.

Really, she did go to college(s) for this kind of thing. Why would anyone really think she should be able to handle these types of conversations?

I don't think I would mind having a beer with her and her husband, but God help us all if she ever really gets into a position of true power.

This makes me like Palin even more!

McCain/Palin

Doug, you should stop trying to attack Couric. She is simply doing her job as an interviewer. Don't you really want to know what Palin is all about? You are willing to support her, and I am sure you don't know anymore about her than I do.

House GOP" Pelosi was MEAN to us, so we're gonna WRECK THE USA!" WWAAAAA! WAAAAA!

I just wonder how this interview was filtered through the liberal media editing department –

Liberalism is a cancer that will kill us all.

Sarah Palin is a moron. She can get as much practice as she wants before the debate, but to do well, one needs a brain. She clearly does not have one.

I think it is an insult to the Americans' intelligence for her to be picked as VP. More of the same from McInSane, McSame McMuddle. I can see Supreme Court. What does it make me, Chief Justice?

Gov. Palin, leave the race and go spend time with that young son of yours.

HEY DOUG, NOONE NEEDS TO DO ANYTHING. . .

THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!

Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Guess I'll decide after November 4th.

what a mess she is..

Her answers to these questions sound a lot like answers that contestants in beauty pageants give. Even her grammar is a spot-on beauty queen impersonation.

Oh wait...she's not faking it. "Beauty queen" is a large chunk of her experience.

Oh, my God... and I thought I sometimes talk in riddles. She runs circles around me. I'm not sure if I will laugh or cry Thursday night.

If you Americans actually vote this bimbo in as VP, then you deserve all of the pain and hardship that the Republicans will continue to bestow upon you.

She has a degree in journalism from five different colleges. What kind of answer were you really expecting to get?

Palin is a pawn, a useless pawn that will be put out of view once the repthuglicans get done using her.

obama biden 08

Bless her heart, she's dumb. I guess she just read off the teleprompter with regard to Exxon v Valdez, and didn't remember that was one recent case she disagreed with.

No wonder she had to bring in daddy McCain for the rest of the interview. What a joke!

McPitbull... Is she ready? NO!

I laugh so hard that I cry...
And to think it's all true!

I am Scared! Wake up American!

Sarah, How about Dred Scott? Geez.

Go easy on Palin. I mean, what do you expect? She's not some egghead Constitutional Law professor like Obama! She's a Joe Six Pack American! She's not *supposed* to know anything!

It is not out of the question that based on tomorrow night's "performance", she could be off the ticket.

To answer your question, Jack, NO they are not helping her.
And you know what? GOOD.

Katie Couric with more on Palin...

This is unreal!

sad

I could barely READ that mess of words that she considered a reaponse.

After finally getting through it all I can say is oh my god

DOH! Homer should be the VP nominee.

We need both liberal and conservative media.
This is so much better than other counties where a journalist who might ask questions that the leadership deems undesirable or too close to the truth and they are silenced. Please appreciate that this is sooo much better.

Let's have her try to name the 50 states of the US. Bet she can only get through 15 or so.

LOL

you're a MORON, sweetie ^_____________^

Sarah Palin=Clueless

Pitiful....She hasn't actually thought about any issue in depth that hasn't happened outside of Alaska....

Did she even answer the question?? Just all Hemming and Hawwing... and lots of Gibberish... lmao

Maybe Sarah was the one firing on Biden in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Oh wait. Biden lied.

This has got to be a dream, and we're all having it. Tomorrow morning, the entire country will wake up, and it will be November 2000. The headlines will read: "Votes Recounted, Pres. Gore." And all will be right with the world again.

I thought she was kinda cute and fun at first. She is an abomination now. My husband has it right...crack open another one Sarah...your losing your buzz.

The proof is in the pudding; er.... Palin. You gotta be deaf, dumb or blind to support the republican ticket.

Thanks Sarah,, for helping Obama

She should have cited Kramer vs. Kramer. Or Tom vs. Jerry. At least some of the half-wits out there would have been impressed.

OH MY GOD!

Good lord. This stuff is completely unbelievable. Please keep this woman away from the white house.

not even republicans can defend this. they just rant about the "liberal media elite" like a moose mantra. caribou catchphrase?

how about dred scott or plessy v ferguson

PRESSURE IS BUILDING UP FOR PALIN!!!!!

THE END IS NEAR McCAIN!

Price for ticket to Vice President debate party at theater - $0

Price for Obama yard sign - $8

Watching Sarah Palin loose every shred of human dignity in front of 80 million people - PRICELESS!

Sarah Palin, the gift that just keeps on giving.

Oh. My. Look, I'm not even an American, and admittedly not very versed in American history, but even *I* could name a few Supreme Court cases!

i can't wait to see this on snl this sat! she makes it too easy for the writers.

HECKOF a JOB, Sarah!! You keep it up...

yeah your defintely no Hillary Palin.

Liberal media elite?!? Seriously Doug? Being an intelligent adult makes you an elitist? Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves. Being an intelligent adult means you are less likely to do stupid things.

How about Bush v. Gore, Mrs. Palin? Knowing her, this would be a case she'd mention. Oh, poor McCain...

ifill should not moderate the VP debate since she will make money if Obama/Biden win the presidental election. DUMP HER because she has a book out that will profit from Obama's election

As a politician it is her JOB to answer tough questions, and be able to translate and communicate difficult and confusing things to her constituents.

She has done neither. She is not ready for this office.

P.S. It's her handlers that are sexist, not the media! Let her stand or fall based on her own merits. Protecting her from tricky questions is the worst sexism ever!

Just one more simple question that she can't answer.

Right now you liberal clowns, no thinking about it, name landmark Supreme Court cases. NOW, no thinking, do it you liberal morons, come on. Quit thinking, just name some. Gotcha, you can't do it.

I like how they included Biden's well-informed, experienced, and personal answer to the questions. So much for the gotcha journalism card.

This is becoming comical now! Let's just get it over with, I don't think anybody would risk this country being one heart beat away from someone that is so dense!

HUH?

wow, could the liberal media show any more bias the past few days? I can't believe how badly they want Obama to win.

McCain 2008

Thank GAWD for Sarah Palin! Without her I don't know if Obama could win the race!! Thanks Grampy for putting country first and helping to elect Obama/biden

Katie Curic for VP

Palin probably has difficulty saying her ABC's...

Barack Your Vote

Lord help us

It's like watching a train wreck. You want to look away but your morbid sense of curiosity won't let you.

At what point can she be disqualified?

IT'S PALIN. . .BEING PALIN!

HA HA HA HA HA!!

Could this get any worse for her! I hope it can! Thank you Sarah Palin! Thank you for your wonderful vocabulary and sentence structure!

Obama/Biden 08

wow...McCain, was this pick really putting your country first? Do you really expect us to believe that. I'm insulted that he would even suggest it.

She is a mess.

it wouldnt be 'gotcha journalism' if she could answer a SIMPLE question.

and did anyone say this is going to be our Vice President. Jesus !!!

God Bless America

hey Palin – GOTCHA! What a dope!

She obiviously has a problem with memory... tomorrow will be interesting.

I think Sarah Palin is selfish. She is power hungry and should not have accepted the nomination. She puts all of America in grave danger.

God help us. I think the Canadian's will soon build a border fence to keep us out.

Everyone should just wait for the debate tomorrow night.

As long as there are no microphones, she's not expected to speak, and there is an evening wear competition, she will wipe the floor with Biden.

Shocking. What a joke McCain has made of our great political system!!

I have trouble naming one thing Obama has ever done to benefit me or my family.

Not one!

Palin is ridiculous to the 95th power. You could find more intelligence in a box of rocks. This world is going to seriously crumble if the 'WeSuckAgain' Party takes office again. My twin coppers.

It does not matter sweetie, McCain-Palin wil lose because of george bush economics & war

This woman is a buffoon!!!! If McCain has any sense, he'll dump her NOW!!! And I am a life-long Republican!

Katie Couric was being sexist as usual.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

What did she say? I just read her comment 3 times and I still don't understand it.

Clueless...

The media are just fools. I wish Katie would allow me to interview her.

Palin probably didn't know about Roe v Wade until a few weeks ago.

You go girl! Hold your own.

Are you serious??? I can think of several
WOW this is getting rediculous

more evidence that palin is a joke. even i can name some supreme court cases and i'm not running for anything and i'm not a lawyer. she hasn't thought about anything besides oil in alaska and it shows.

I really do feel sorry for this poor woman. She is in way over her head, and there's nothing she can do about it but sink deeper and deeper.

Omg....LOL haha
She sell on comedy central!!

Katie Couric's interviewing Sarah Palin amounts to badgering. Katie Couric is disrespectful

Oh my God! This is just so sad.

This woman is a joke. I can't believe republicans are going along with this. McCain should be arrested. CNN, please run the story of the Keating 5.

I am speechless........absolutely speechless..................

not sure that has ever happened before..............

Geez she's way out of her league. She needs to go back to sleepy and predictable Alaskan.

I suppose McCain will CRY out and say its a "gotcha" question. He is so full of it.

Can anyone imagine asking Caribou Palin to run for vice president.Mccain is dumber than she is

My head is still spining after listing to Sarah Palin, she got to be faking she can't be that dumb. Are these the answers we are going to hear from her in the debate tomorrow........Please let her be faking......Please!!!!!!!!!!!
Biden is going to creme her,

Obama/Biden

She never claimed to be a lawyer. Which is good, most of them are already in Washington doing a great job of leading our nation.

McCain is a crackpot!!

this is too sad... I don't think i can even watch the debates. seeing someone that is soooo out of their league get destroyed like that makes me uneasy. yeah, i think i'll skip this one! i know how its going to turn out!

Pathetic and she is aspiring to become VP and possibly President

Mcain = dishonerable man not putting country first

Oh, there she goes again,.... lots of empty words and she hoping that we're too dumb to notice it.

A train wreck!!

I'll name one: "Bush v. Gore"!!!

Palin.....you moron! You don't even remember the Exxon-Valdez ruling which affected Alaska while you were the governor!

I cannot think of one either and I support Obama.

all i have to say is wow. sad. vagueeeeee

She has ZERO intellectual curiosity and it shows.

NOT the person who should be running government.

Bush with a lipstick

Hey but don't ya wanna go have a beer with her and shoot a moose! Thats what some people liked about GW...the kinda guy they would invite to their BBQ..yeehaw!

She's as dumb as a rock in these interviews. How can they possibly say she's a good debater? We will see tomorrow. Then maybe the final nail will be in the coffin of the McCain/Palin ticket.

Is anyone surprised?

I have no desire to vote for either candidate, but the VP debate could actually be fun to watch.

This has got to be a bad dream !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbeleavable.

I doubt we need to keep having what Sarah Palin doesn't know shown to us. She knows nothing and we have to accept it. Anyone who can not even name what papers or magazines she reads is beyond all hope.

Genuis is not born; genuis is made, Sarah. We understand you are too young to have mastery over all these stuffs of national importance, but hey, you should have been preparing for these things, haven't you?

McPalin thanks but no thanks for the agenda to nowhere.

I agree with UCL.Ady04.

Quick call the Witch Doctor back. The spirit of Witch Craft has bound her brain and her tongue.

What do you mean Gov. Palin? Should the supreme court have left the case of Brown v. Board of Education up to the state?

I doubt she does, but her suggestion is a slipperly slope. One that I would prefer not to have to navigate.

Oh, please – If Al Gore had been put under the same microscope, he'd have the same gaffes. You don't have to be a world scholar to run for V.P., the woman can't even breath without being criticized.

LOL - and she wants to be our VP and fill in for the president.

No Way No How No McCain / Palin - 8 is enough...

Don't you think it is rhetoric to suggest everyday that she is a BIG IDIOT.

It's sad and somewhat scary that a person running for an office like VP has no more grasp of national and international subjects than this.

OMG- SHE COULD BE ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY.. PLEASE.. MY 3 YEAR OLD IS SMARTER

Obama has proven himself to the American public, and Palin - well that seems to be her greatest challenge at this time.

V.P. of the United States????

Doug,
How is Couric being unfair to Palin? That's a very empty critique.

I am scratching my head. If she saves her best for the debate for "October Surprise" or so naive not to know well her own country affairs. Over to the Debate!

Yuk, Yuk!

If she's a moron, how come she's being interviewed on a news network and you people are just blogging !!?

There's no fool like a right-wing evangelical fool.

god help us if the repubs win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

comment reviewers,did you have a bad day ??

I think she just has a severe case of memory loss. Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!

Can she name any of the Supreme Court justices??

What a moron!!!
She is a disgrace to all the capable women that have the experience and intelligence to become President Of The United States.

Sarah, just shut up and go home.

katie would be a better vice president then palin

Whaaaat?! Um...I...uh...er....I think us US Americans should support....um...World Peace.

Yea Sarah !!

She is a victim of social promotion.

I always felt the Supreme Court's rulings on the Japanese interments were universally worse than Roe v. Wade....but apparently I was mistaken.

This is THE JOKE OF THE YEAR!!

As a buddy of mine said, "I was waiting for her to say Kramer vs. Kramer."

This is just priceless.

McCain is shameless & obviously feels voters are dumb as him !

Yep... by the day I feel more and more confident that Palin is intellectually sound, and has a firm grasp of issues and policies... and as she's being coronated with McCain...

Then I woke up from the nightmare.

Good God people... how can anyone take the airhead seriously?

I have to agree with Matt Damon.... I am TERRIFIED that she might hold a national public office. TERRIFIED.

Doug, Doug, Doug. You should move to Alaska my friend.

I see a new SNL skit in Palins near future !! LMAO

Clearly when she's talking about "Alaska's air space" she's referring to the space between her ears.

She is a total moron.

Early voting is taking place in some states. Please go an vote now.

I dont know how much more I can stomach

EXXON VALDEZ hello!!! She is dumb and sooo naive.

WOW

This lady is hilarious and makes a great comedian

She's going to think about it and get back to Katie on that one, too!!!

She is not a moron....She just doesn't know. She shouldn't be in the position that she is in. Mccain clearly did not vet her. And she shouldn't have accepted. These are two adults who made very poor decisions.
I feel sorry for both of them but not enough to vote for them. That of course would be a very poor decision on my part.

Could somebody PLEASE explain to me. Is it that she does not understand the questions that are being ask of her or is it that she has no knowledge on any topics.

Doug doug doug, how pathetic Sarah has been in hiding with the exception for a few neo-conservative talkies.

One softball interview with a conservative Coric and Sarah falls on her face! It's no wonder that are hiding her!

Typical babble of a political hack that doesn't have a clue.
You can see why Republicans love her.

YEEOOWWW! Thankfully you saved us the drama antics this week!

YIKES, now I have that visual seared into my retina!!!

yup, totally qualified

I find myself laughing, then feeling extremely scared, then feeling sorry for her, then feeling again that McCain, a man I once respected, is an idiot.

AMEN, AMEN! Can you imagine McCain use of judgement?

Seriously, the folks at SNL don't even have to write any material this week.

And we haven't even seen the debate yet!

Obama/Biden '08

go sarah i have my PHD and i cant name any

Palin has difficulty! OK you can stop right there and to think she could be one heartbeat away from being in charge!!!!!!

God please have mercy on America. We truly need your BLESSINGS.

This bulb is very dim...

For all his experience, Biden did not answer it much better.

Come on every one... Name some decisions... quick.

I guess Biden not knowing who the President was in 1929 is different. You are all pathetic!

I think she's got another 48-72 hours on the ticket.

She's is obviously just a face man er face person for the repulican party and McCain's evil agenda i.e. just sit there and look pretty hunny

This lady is dangerous.

Why didn't they ask her about the book she wrote,

"Two Blind Mice"?

Sarah, surely you must have thought in your heart that you weren't up to the job in the first place, so why did you take the job anyway?

God has a HAND in this year's elections. Let's accept the unfolding developments as GOD's wishes. McCain could have done better with either Tom Ridge or Romney!

In a world where there is corruption, cheating and lying...Rove Studios' presents "The Keating Five". Coming to a theater near you.

The interviews are not helping Palin. These are just generl questions that would be asked of any candidate. I would expect her to be more well versed.

This chick is Hilarious....

May God have mercy on us all. We dropped the bar so low with GB but it has fallen off the planet with SP.

Does anyone have a link to it? Being a legal scholar, I'd love to see it....alright, yes, it's also funny as heck.

its one of many things she displays her incompetence in. stay tuned you aint seen nothing yet

LMAO!!!!!!! THIS WOMAN IS AN IDIOT!!!!

This just proves she is as stupid as McCain. The two deserve each other.

OMG, that's all I have to say.

It is all a media bias! They are just asking her the wrong questions! It is pure sexism.
We all know that she is smarter than Barack and she will be the best President ever if something ever happens to McCain. You should all listen to Sean Hannity and Bill o' Reilley for UN-biased coverage.
Voting for Palin on Nov 5th!
McCain/Palin in 08!

I'll get back to ya!

is she the stupidest woman on earth.

let her go and nurse her baby.
she is a total joke. mcbush is a total joke for picking her.
it only reinforces his stupidity and lack of judgement.

go obama all the way to the white house.

obama 08

Well The Republicans are just going to blow this one off.
They are the party that backs military expansion and totally gave her the green light after she did a epic fail on the foreign policy angles...they care more about her personality and she will be "pushed" around if she gets into the white house as she is well disconnected from everyone.

Dan Qualyle..try George Bush, they voted for "W" twice even after his horrible 2004 debate.

I'm sorry this woman is clueless. I wouldn't vote for anyone she was on a ticket with. Republicans are you serious?? You actually champion this garbage??

As an Alaskan I am stunned that she didn't make reference to the ruling in the Exxon case. God Lord!!

I'll Get Back To YA!!

Sarah P

It would have been wise if she had not been thrust into the national stage at this time and stage of her life.

The repubs are doomed.

Landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.

A village in Alaska is missing its idiot!

What do you know Sarah? So far not too much except what is written for you or what you are coached for. That you think yourself qualified to be Veep is scary in itself.

COULD YOU FATHOM THE DESTRUCTION

OF A MCBUS-PALIN ECONOMIC POLICY ?

To quote carville "SHE IS SUPREMELY AND UNIQUELY UNQUALIFIED TO HOLD THE OFFICE TO WHICH SHE ASPIRES"

We all know who we are voting for come November!!

Obama/Biden all the way!

Joe Biden is a true champion of women... NOT sarah palin.

Who cares!! Joe Biden rewrites history all the time. Why isn't he picked apart everyday.

OH MY GOD.......... :-0 :-0

Definition of END TIMES:

Election of McCain/Palin

The debate tomorrow is a joke. The expectations have now become so low (basically rock bottom) that is Palin shows up, then she wins. I find that so sad.

Can't wait to vote for Palin in november.

Why is it so important that the heart beat away knows everything she's asked,and the heart beat isn't asked anything, and if he is,he says he will have advisers,because he doesn't know.

SHE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF MCSENILE'S THINKING,

OR THE COMPLETE LACK OF THE THINKING.

WHO ELSE BUT A MORON WOULD RUN WITH A MORON ?

There is a real BS artist at work here. What books, newspapers and magazines do I read? All of them.

Sarah Six Pack cannot even respond in the most mild interviews. What judgement! The GOP should take McCain aside and kick his butt!

Absolute, utterly disgraceful incompetence.

HIgh school US History refresher, anyone?

Okay. Please read both of those responses and then, with a straight face, tell me that Palin is the more qualified of the two. Have our standards fallen that low?

Good God.

There are really no words.

I"m really feeling sorry for this lady. it's not her fault she's in this position. She got all swept up in this and now there's no way out. Shame.

Are people seriously going to vote for this ticket?

So dumb.

Wake up America. This woman is not even qualified to lead a school feild trip let alone be VP of the U.S.!

Palin is proof that you can't cram for an exam.

Now that is so surprising!!!!

Can anybody translate for me what Palin said?

This makes Biden a sexist. Clearly.

She is an idiot!

So What, Biden can name a court case, after all he is a lawyer but can he field dress a moose

I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

LOL; this is who the GOP base wants to vote for.....

even though both answers were not concise, i believe palin's answer was patheic. just rambling on without any sense and knowledge about the question asked

The McCain camp will just decry this as "gotcha journalism". However, it's just another proof that Palin has not spent any significant part of her life concerning herself with issues outside of her own narrow scope of government. She does not demonstrate interest in the world at large, and has little knowledge of American history. She has not lead a professional life that would anticipate holding the 2nd-highest office in the nation. People continue to ask why Palin's experience to the VP and possibly President is questioned, but Obama's isn't? First of all, his experience has been questioned, but secondly, Barack Obama has led an extremely accomplished professional life that certainly points towards great things. Sarah Palin has not. This is not "elitism". You SHOULD want the best in office. George W. Bush was a chronic underachiever and look what he's done to hurt the country. Don't let it happen again!

Just brilliant, Sarah. (snicker, snicker)

Well, she has to know what everyone has been breathing under for 30 years, poor thing!

LOL

Moe, Larry, and Curly ...right?

Oh my god !!

What else could one say.

I just can't wait until tomorrow. It will be must-see TV!

Sarah, Sarah I love her she is the best supporter of the Obama/Biden ticket. Three democrats verses one republican. SARAH! SARAH!!

COME ON!!!! COME ON!!!! COME ON!!!! COME ON!!!! COME ON!!!! COME ON!!!!

18 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR OBAMA to lead our country because of his VISION not his experience!

Comparing Obama's experience to Palin's is comparing apples to oranges i.e. MOOT

I can name one ruling I disgreed with. GW winning the court case in the 2000 race. The beginning of the downturn. I'm ready for an upturn. And McCain/Palin aren't in the picture.

you would think she'd at least know about the decision, while she was governor of Alaska, about Exxon Valdez–it adversely affected her state!

Can it possibly get any worse????

One very old heartbeat away from leading the most powerful country on the world!!!

HEEEEEEEEEEELP I must be dreaming!!!!

This is sad on so many levels.

Where is his judgement???

Coric has become Palin's nemesis. The liberal media elite keeps attempting to corner the governor.

This is a woman who could potentially name Supreme Court Justices, yet she is completely ignorant of landmark cases. In her position she should be especially well versed in this subject. She is a moron, and totally unqualified. This is just pathetic.
