Katie Couric should be applauded for asking Palin reasonable questions.

This Nightingale who is still singing is obviously going hang around until the lights go out for the Republicans. She should be given a trophy for esprit de corps. Sorry Chripy Bird, but if god continues to smile on Sen. Obama you wil have no choice but to sing a swan song for your hero.

I think I'll skip the debate…and tune into SNL for a recap…

Palin, my friends, is in deep, deep, do do….

If the American people are dumb enough to vote for these to lying idiots, our country may never recover. McPalin-disater would be the nail in the coffin. Maybe Sarah and her church pals can preform some "witch craft" voo doo crap and fix her intelligence….

Jan, like your sister sarah palin, you're an idiot!

McCain needs to look up the definition of a FACT. It is not a fact that she will do "fine" tonight. Pre-blaming the moderator is comical though, considering that the book hasn't even come out yet and noone knows whats in there. Kind of like reviewing a movie without actually seeing it.

granted that she's no worse than any average american voters with few functioning braincells,

she'll never be able to gain an adequate understanding of history in a few weeks and articulate it to the public.

it just doesn' happen that way, trust me..

if she does well tonight does that mean she's qualified to be a heart beat from the presidency?

If McCain thinks Palin is going to do fine in the debates, then
this old man is sniffing glue. Hasen't he seen her on interviews??
She is an air head.

Now I know why American Idol is so popular. With Sarah Palin in the mix, we are watching a single contestant for American Idol – Politician Style. Nothing like American fads.

Katie's questions were totally unfair. I thought she should have asked Palin questions more appropriate for her like:
What eye liner do you use? Do you use unleaded gas in your car? What is your favorite brand of breakfast cereal? Have you tried the new Oil of Olay night cream?

John, Basic questions are not attacks. She just cant answer the questions.

She will do fine, if the only expectation from America is for her to recite a complete sentence. Yeah, she'll do great.

Now back to the real world, with the Titantic of financial crisis, and two world wars, completing a sentence is not enough.

How about those tax returns?
Johnny Mac, any comment on why Palin had yet another secret, private e-mail account that she was using to conduct state business?
Maverick or just like Cheney? Hmmmmm sounds like Cheney to me.
How is one a Federalist and a staunch proponent of state's rights in the exact same situation?
Roe v Wade — cornerstone of privacy — what side of that are you on Palin????

Hey Lynn….Gibson, Couric and the others aren't running for Vice-President..a heart beat away from McCain who is 72 years old and has cancer…that's the difference.

Oh I think she will do fine also. One thing you can say about Sarah Palin is she learned her "never a direct answer" lesson from her time spent chasing a pagent crown. I'm sure her performance will be a great study in how to answer a quesiton without giving an answer.

John McCain…putting the "ick" in Maverick.

Does she know what the word " maverick" means?

Palin does well, she wins.
Palin is mediocre, she still exceeds expectations.
Palin does poorly, she's a victim of the media and/or Biden.

Good luck Biden.

Just this morning I was the proud witness of three republicans at my school that until McCan't pick sarah palin was going to vote for him, but now they aren't. She is out of control and Bush with religion in a females body.

Obama/Biden 08

What out for her to wear her hair down tonight, you know-like-to-well-like-to cover up the ear peice she will have!!!!!!
Bush had one 4 years ago. She will defenilty need one tonight!

No matter how she performs, the Reps will say she was brilliant and blame any negative moments on bias and sexism…and their already-convinced supporters will believe it even if Palin looked like a high-heeled troglodyte. Whoopy-doo. It barely merits discussion.

may be McCain should hire Tina Faye to play Sarah at the debate…. Tina would do it better.

Palin just doesn't know a whole lot about anything.

John McCain chose a "COUNTRY FIRST" motto, and then
selects a totally unqualified woman to be possible president of the
country. This woman is a threat to our security. How is SHE going to
protect us? The foreign enemy will know that we are a weak target if
Sara Palin is ever allowed to command. John McCain may even be
captured AGAIN while he is asleep in the White House. His "judgement"
after all allowed him to crash five planes and get captured. Those
"red" ignorant thinking states had better think twice before helping
the republican party fool this country again. WE THE PEOPLE are the
country.

I used to be a supporter of McCain and have decided to vote for Obama as i strongly belive that McCain / Palin ticket will do more damage to US than Bush-Cheney has.

McCain campaign is behaving like a kid. It sounds like McCain has found Barbie (Palin) that they are not letting out of the closet thinking that some other kid will steal her.

It is getting just ridiculous.

Biden will wipe the floor with this Ms. Palin. She is clueless about many many important issues facing Americans today. She is wanting in terms of experience and foreign policy.
Are you sure your OK, Mr. McCain?? You've been looking older, more tired, and worndown of late. The lies and falsehoods you spit up are getting boring and transparent.

The questions were fair.

Signed,

An American Person

McCain, if you really care about the american people, you would not have picked this beauty queen. Very, very obvious, you made a very wrong decision (while a presidential candidate)…how much more when you are elected a president??? Although i have been very impressed with Obama, I was going to vote for you, but the moment i heard your decision about this vp pick, i finally decided to vote for OBAMA. Please…you know it in your heart…this beauty queen is NOT qualified to be a VP. My goodness, six years of education in six different colleges before finally receiving a degree in "sports journalism???" McCain, how could you do this to America???

I say: Catie Couric for Vice President!

MR.MCSAME,
i am ashame behalf of you old man..

PLEASE SEND BACK HER TO ALASKA AND LET THE OLD MAN RETIRE..

Okay, who spiked McSame's Metamucil?

Obama Supporter. I think Palin will do great in the debate tonight. I think she cant possibly be as dumb on the issues as she has appeared in the interviews. It was all a plan for Palin to play dumb. Tonight she will put on a great performance.

Katherine Parker wishes you well! Tina Fey wishes you well. And speaking for liberal America, who was afraid that McSame would pick someone with an ounce of competence, I wish you well! You are the best thing to happen to the political process since Jack Abramoff!

McSame, do you ever wonder why you must stand up to your party so much? Could it be that they are WRONG most of the time and the party of Obama/Biden are right most of the time which is why they don't have to stand up to them as much? Obama/Biden08

She couldn't name a single magazine or newspaper that she reads. For crying out loud, make something up! It doesn't take a lot of brain power to spit out the words "Newsweek" or "Wall Street Journal". Heck, even if she said "People" it would have been better her answer.

There is a video clip at CBS showing Couric asking Biden and Palin EXACTLY the same questions about the Roe v. Wade and the Supreme Court.
Biden's answers were precise and coherent – Palin's were just m ore blather.

Sarah, be sure to ask Joe why he said Obama is not ready to be president.

I can't believe the whining coming out of the McCain campaign about Ifill.

They knew she was writing this book at least two weeks before they agreed to have her as a moderator. At least they should have since it was common knowledge. But maybe the same person vetted Ifill as vetted Palin. We know how well that went, don't we?

But the excuses and whining are for one reason only. They're giving themselves an escape clause should Palin prove to be an unmitigated disaster.

"I Feel Good", a hit by the late James Brown but applies to the VP debate tonight.

Go Joe……….Katie Couric started things for you, draw a picture for the American voter and let us draw our conclusion. Palin is not ready to be VP let alone President of the United States.

My granddaughter and grandson can answer the questions Couric put forth in her interview and they are 13 and 14 years of age. They are into politics………..great night America!

Even if Palin does well tonight, I hope the American people don't forget the fact that she REALLY doesn't know anything about foriegn policy nor the economy. All she will be doing tonight is remembering what they taught her and remembering the talking points.

Our nation is in a crisis and we need someone in the WH other than a pretty face.

BABY MAMA…
You are as clueless as sarah that u supporting. I cant believe you didnt know that sarah is debating Biden and not Obama. Also Biden is not from Chicago.
Mike chicago

We have installed the latest chip we have in Sarahs brain,she will astound the world with her answers.

"I know that there have been attacks on Sarah Palin…" Ah, John, polite and issue-related questions from a respected journalist are not "attacks." The world is not only like your military-based mentality–attacks and defense. Get with civilian reality, John!

SARAH PALIN, SARAH PALIN….I THANK YOU, SINCE YOU'VE ENTER INTO THIS RACE, YOU HAVE GIVEN ME SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY SINGLE DAY….LAUGHTER, HA HA HA,HAAAAAA….IT DOESN'T GET ANY FUNNIER, SEEING YOU PERFORM IS WORTH EVERY MINUTE I TURN ON THE TELEVISION

YOU HAVE GIVEN THE TRUE COMEDIANS MORW MATERIAL THAN DAN QUALE COULD EVER COME UP WITH, IF ONLY YOU WERE A BLONDE.. YOU ARE CLUELESS….WHAT A JOKE…,WELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANTED A WOMAN ON THE TICKET, SO THIS IS WHAT YOU GOT.. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm tired of hearing that this election is about the presidential candidates, not the vice-presidential candidates. That may have been true in the past – before the Palin factor. She has to be considered as a possible president – she's running with history's oldest presidential candidate who has had pervious health issues. The thought of her in the oval office should scare the hell out of the American public.

Mayah, were you one of the crowd laughing all the way with Carter, with Kerry, with Gore, all the way to the White House. Your party may win. I doubt, however, that you have a winning personality.

"She's very comfortable in her own skin," he said. The McCain/Palin thing is getting creepier by the minute.

This woman can't name a Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade; can't name one newspaper she supposedly reads; can't define the "Bush Doctrine." And those are just for starters. And what she can't do, she wings her way through with vague, winding, trailing statements which she then twists and turns so that whomever is questioning her becomes the predator and she the prey.
Slipped up, tripped up, left speechless, trying to mask any "deer-in-the-headlight" looks.
Yeah, she'll do "just fine." Fundamentally, of course…..

Someone needs to explain why McCain can't utter two sentences without bashing Obama and Biden. He seldom presents his own case without doing this. I understand trying to draw the contrast, but he misrepresents the Dems at every turn.
You'd think a self-proclaimed hero would be able to stand on his own two fett once in a while.

Keep dreaming JMac…she will be fine? Just more proof that your not playing with a full deck!

If McCain and his staff are so confident of Palin and her abilities to effectively talk to the media and people I don't understand why they have not yet left her to campaign for the ticket on her own. Why is McCain constantly want to be by her ? I have a feeling that McCain will also show up for tonight's debate to stand next to her and pounce on Biden if she fumbles in her responses. Better yet McCain himself will show up as Palin for the debate (though that needs a lot of makeup and disguising). Good luck.

Yes, she will. We have total confidence in her.

Go Palin, you're a winner.

Well, we all know what "fine" means – Freaked Out, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional….

Then again Palin can see Russia from her front porch so she's experienced with foreign matters…..I mean Alaska was once part of Russia and her great-great-great-grandpappy helped out with making it part of America (probably – waiting to hear her say that). And she knows that Americans love pets which is why she dresses her pit bull in lipstick….or that could just be a wierd thing of hers. But she'll be fine…she's comfortable in her own skin…which makes me wonder does she wear another skin that she's not comfortable in???

As I've said before, the real Bridge to Nowhere is that part of Sarah Palin's nose.

As Jack Cafferty said, "I'd crawl naked through a barbed wire fence to see this debate".HaHa… get ready SNL, Phalin's about to give you more material than you can use in a season.

Palin will do well. Debates are not as hard as interviews. In an interview it's one on one. THe interview can throw a curve ball at any moment. The questions can come from anywhere. In a debate everything is organized. The moderator asks basic questions that can be prepared for. For anyone who is looking for Palin to flub up like she did with Couric or Gibson I think you'll be disapointed. All the news organizations are going to blow this story up when Palin holds her own. They'll make her seem so wonderful. They'll ignore that it is easy to debate in the format that these TV debates are laid out.

This "debate" is nothing more than a chance for Sarah to show she can memorize talking points.

There is next to no back and forth. Little candidate interaction.

She will get glowing reviews because they can't take her to task on anything. Can't do what Couric did, and press her on anything.

I'm sure everyone will be "so impressed" with her, even though she will do nothing of substance. America needs a smack upside it's head to wake it up! Stop being "impressed" by new, shinny objects and start demanding REAL AND IN DEPTH ANSWERS!!

of course she will be fine!!!!!! Everyone keeps telling Biden to be nice to her!!! Hell no!!!!!dont be nice to her, Treat her like any other V.P. The House came out of the meeting on Monday and lashed out on Pelosi, and they didnt care if she was a women!!!! Hell no I hope MARTIN SOUNDS OFF ON THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!

SOUND OFF MARTIN SOUND OFF!!!

The fact that he has to go on TV and say this at all is pathetic.

BABY MAMA :

Let's watch the "PALIN, the trained PARROT, McCAIN Pet" tonite!!!

As I've said before, the real Bridge to Nowhere is that part of Sarah Plain's nose.

She needs better than fine…

Palin beats around the bush on subjects and has no idea at times whats being asked. I have nothing against the lady, however this job is not for her.

Obama/Biden

Lynn in NM: "I have not heard Gibson ask Obama or BIden, or Hillary for that matter, the trick questions he asked Palin."

Oddly enough, Katie Couric just recently asked Joe Biden and Sarah Palin near-identical questions about Roe v. Wade and separation of church and state, interview clips which were shown just yesterday on CBS and which you can see for yourself on the CBS News website. Perhaps you should click on over there and see for yourself.

See for yourself the difference in their answers — if you can take your blinders off long enough to absorb the truth.

OK. PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ . IF YOU KEEP IT SIMPLE, NAME, STATE. HOBBIES (KILLING MOOSE, WOLVES,ETC). BUT IF YOU ASK HER ANYTHING ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT, WHAT HER RUNNING MATE BELIEVES, WELL SHE MAY HAVE TO GET BACK WITH YA.

BTW, Where is Joh n McCain's lapel pin? I remember when Obama was called unpatriotic for not wearing a lapel pin— double standard once again!!

Give Palin a break – at least she spoke unscripted to the media. It's a start and I have no doubt that Joe Sixpack will be up to VP speed in three months.

I think the argument that Palin has taken on the leadership of her party, whereas Obama and Biden have not, speaks more to the corruption and incompetence of her Republican leadership versus what it takes to be a self-proclaimed "maverick."

I do wish the media would let us know what restrictions
Mccain managed to get through for this debate and
why he was allowed to do so. Heard yesterday he was
asking for even more stipulations.
The moderator needs to demand Palin answer questions,
rather than her previous run arounds.'
And, do hope they have not tied Joe Bidens hands
in this debate.

You better hope she will because you won't be standing beside her to counteract whatever answer she gives.Maybe she spoke with that witch doctor pastorf her last night or this morning to spew the answers out of her mouth whatever it might be.And that ad your campaign ran about Rev. Wright was typical of you after during the primaries you said you were not going to run this type of campaign but just another lie among many .Try running some about the poor americans and what you can do to help them.Where is your mindset only on attacking Obama just look at the polls and see what these negative ads are saying to the american people.THEY ARE SAYING WHAT ABOUT ME!

Kick Biden in the balls Palin. Provided Biden has any.

Beat the socialists Obama and Biden.

Dumb, left wing Liberals who will send the country in a nose dive!

DEFEAT THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS!

OBAMA!
PELOSI!
REID!

Of course she will John, the bar is set soooo low, that if she makes it through the 90 minutes without breaking down in tears or having a stroke, it will be considered a success.

McCain is absolutely delusional.

Careful John, you can't go back and bail her out of this one like you did with Katie Couric!

We shall see Mr. McCain!

Fellow Democrats: Do not take Obama's lead for granted. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare!!!!

Peple shud volt for obamara. he will give poor peple mony and that wut we need. im a poor persun.

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed," Biden told CBS News anchor Katie Couric. "He said, 'Look, here's what happened.' "

The only problem is that FDR was not the president when the stock market crashed. Herbert Hoover was. The second problem is that television was not widely available during the 1929 market crash, and the dominant means of communication at the time was the radio.

She will do fine. Remember Jimmy Carter who was not a lawyer, and Ronald Reagan who was a radio sport reporter and an actor?

Ok fine, I'll admit it. I've been hoping that all of these "gaffes" from the past few weeks, the interviews, the stupid answers, the trip ups, are all the biggest "razzle dazzle" move ever pulled by the McCain campaign. I've been hoping that surely this woman is not this daft and that the only reason she's been giving such awful answers is to make everyone curious to see the debate and then BAM she'll rip Joe Biden to shreds. At least that's what I've been hoping. I don't support the McCain/Palin ticket, but I really feel bad for her. McCain has been hooking her out ever since he chose her for his running mate, and it's obvious (if this isn't a ploy) that she hasn't had the support that she needs from the campaign. Shame on you John McCain for treating that poor woman like that!

She'll do fine as long as they don't ask her about:

Supreme Court decisions
Newspapers
National Security
Putin's head
The Bush Doctrine
The Bailout Plan
Pakistan, Afghanistan, or any other country ending in "stan"

Keep the debate focused on moose shooting, Track and Trig, Todd, and snow machine racing, and she'll do just fine, trust me.

Couric the low-life hate filled “gotcha“ journalist, trapped poor, picked upon yet vivacious Palin with a “pop quiz” unfair question, “.Name something specifically you have read to help form your world view?”. Pitiful and helpless Palin’s response was “…blah, blah, blah, ‘all of ‘em‘ blather, blather, blather…”.

Can that be found in fiction or non-fiction?

Not so fast, old man. she crammed for the final and most people know that you have a 50/50 chance of getting things right when you do that.

On a related note, Even if Palin had more appeal, I still would not vote for this ticket based on the lack of intellect that both these characters have.

McCain was a "D" student who was about to be expelled from Annapolis, but was saved by his father–sounds like another fatherly bailout for bad behaviour (Bush Sr and Bush Jr). Sarah Palin has a journalism degree.

Obama has a bachelor's degree from Columbia, and a law degree from Harvard–and he teaches constitutional law. Education for me wins hands down. Education provides you with the means to deal with multiple issues on multiple levels, and it gives you iron discipline. I hope the blue wave sweeping the country continues.
I have zero tolerance when it comes to incompetent, undereducated leaders.

Dear Mcblame: Why don't you just get lost along with your Barbie… Look at the Poll Numbers you senile and delusional Fool. No one with right mind will buy your CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John's confidence in Palin shows just how out of touch he really is. I think it's clear to anyone who is paying attention that Palin is woefully unprepared and out of her league. For McCain to say she's going to do fine tells us he's not paying attention to how idiotic she sounds in the interviews.

I love it when McCain praises Palin. She's out of her league and he loses credibility.

Jen, California

I'm surprised you can even see the televsion with that white sheet over your head. Oh yeah, you guys cut holes out so you can see. Get lost. Michelle Obama is not even running for VP but if she was I'm pretty sure she would have done a much better job than Palin, yah.

Is it just me, or are liberals the only people who post on these forums? Do you people work? Do you sit around waiting for the next Palin or McCain story to appear so you can write your hilariously uninformed opinions? I guess I should not be surprised considering that the base of the Democrat party are unemployed individuals who want my taxes to be higher so I can pay for their welfare.

Of course Cariboo Barbie will do fine! She can field strip a moose, and protect Alaska from Putin, all at the same time.

This debate will be as simple for her as naming a Supreme Court case with which she disagrees.

I only hope this debate preparation hasn't kept her from her usual reading of all the newspapers…

One idiot supporting other. Whenever I hear 'Country First' I feel like spitting on McCain. If he really feels 'Country First' then he shouldnt have contested is election in the first place.

We are going to see very very bad political and economic trumoil in the coming days because of McCain's greed and selfishness.

Moderator please post this.

One side of me wants her replaced b/c we all know she is not qualified to be VP, that's a fact. We all know it was a ploy to gather the female vote and now it has backfired.
The other side does not want her replaced is b/c I wake up every day and wonder what stupid, silly, "like-a-you know-like" comment will come out of her mouth. I know the writer's at SNL have got to be on cloud nine.
So, as a supporter for Obama, I hope she stays right where she is, b/c she is loosing this election for John on her "vast knowledge" on many issues……BRAHHHHHH you get the point.

If she cannot answer these basic questions she should not be the second in line for the president of the United States. McCain's choice is insulting. There were so many more people more qualified then Palin I don't trust his judgement if he puts possible political gain over the welfare of our country, that is what he has done picking Palin.

As you can only guess why ( well it says here on my notes ) will be the first thing that comes out of her mouth before answering every question

"Joe Biden and Barack Obama have never taken on the leaders of their party on any issue."

CNN, CAN WE FACT CHECK THIS LIE PLEASE?

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Palin and her bid.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a 'Post Turtle'".

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle".

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, and she doesn't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of idiot put her up there to begin with".

Is this wishful thinking or a delusion?

I used to admire a lot ofJohn McCain's qualities, but quite frankly, the man is beginning to scare me. Post-traumatic stress? Early senility? Religious self-righteousness? Whatever is going on, it isn't good. His choice of Palin was terrible but things just keep getting worse.

I hope she cries when she can't answer "How far is it to Russia"?

I think most of us are comfortable in out own skin. But a good politician has to live in the skin of others to understand them. Obama has!

McPalin is a joke and those who vote for her are as silly as she is.

Bimbo Bambie Killer!

This person is a WWIII disaster. The world laughed when bush was elected. They will cry if this team of idiots get in office.

Tonight she will go from pitbull to Biden's chew toy. Stick with your mistake Senator because she is working out so well, for Obama. I hope she get Troopergate resolved while you're footing the legal bills. We all know she will be dropped like a hot rock come November 5th.

And Joe's comment about FDR making his announcement on TV in 1929 was correct?

He feels confident? Yeah right. Then why did daddy have to sit with his little girl during the last Couric interview. That was the most pathetic and sexist thing I've ever seen. I was insulted as a woman. He cannot have it both ways. Either she is a barracuda or she isn’t. I’m sorry but he cannot sit with her one the world stage, so to pull a stunt like that is unacceptable.

SOUND TO ME LIKE THE DEBATES AND THE QUESTIONS ARE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF…..JUST LIKE SADDLE BACK CHURCH. THIS MAN WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET THE QUESTIONS AND LOAD THE ANSWERS TO THE MICRO CHIPS OF HIS PUPPET…LOL

Yeah McSame, and I am going to stand up for what is right for America. I am going to vote for Obama/Biden for president on Nov. 4th!!!!!

"What news publications do you read to stay informed?"

"Name one supreme court ruling you disagree with."

Really? Unfair? Wouldn't you like your VP to be able to answer those? I mean, why not? Seem like simple enough questions.

McCain – "She's stood up for what's right for the people of Alaska."

Huh?

How can that be if she's trying to hide the truth of Troopergate? If someone is forthright and innocent – wouldn't they welcome the investigation?

Palin is a PRETENDER – she is fake and untrustworthy.

McCain claims that Palin is a great debater. Well, she may be a good speaker but this is as far as it goes. For the times that I've listened to her speak, Palin doesn' have any substance in her speeches. You can pump an individual full of facts but there comes a time when that person will have to fly and think on their own. She couldn't even name one issue beyond Roe v Wade, when asked the questioned was posed to her by Katie Couric. Any American who is familiar with issues here in our country could name more than one and they aren't even running for VP. If this had been Biden the Republican party would have a field day poking fun at him.

I predict Palin is gonna cry tonight.

Why does he have to reiterate about her experience… she has proven herself already and people have already made judgement. We all know that she has been on a crash course for debating and that most that she will say tonight is what she learnt at debate camp over the last four days.

With that being said does he really feel that people are so niave that they will change their minds based on a debate that she has been coached on and the thoughts are truly not hers.

We will see John. Are you going to be by her side as you were with the 2nd Couric interview? My guess is you will be sweating bullets when the events start this evening.
I'm hoping she is hoisted by her own petard and takes you with her.

JUST AN OBSERVATION, Sarah Palin does well when she has cue cards and teleprompter. did anyone notice that the footage of her past debates in Alaska she used Cue Cards?

/

McCrypt, has been seen publicly reviewing Sarah’s “resume” visually.

Perhaps, McCrypt’s Phoenix is rising?

So, since McCrypt chose Sarah for her “attributes” , we Americans deserve a more qualified VP that fits these standards.

DOLLY! DOLLY! DOLLY PARTON!

Now that is what I call a qualified woman, because her “BIG HAIR“ puts her closer to God than Palin!

What did YOU think I was talking about?

McCain said ""The fact is she'll do fine tonight. …" How can it be a fact if it has not happened yet!

Haha.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Were Couric's question's fair? He's gonna let the American people decide that? As if this is an actual point of contention?

"Do you know anything at all that might qualify you for this job?"
"Uh, no. But I love America!"

…and then we have the proud Palin defender's who are so sure that she's just trying to avoid giving the Democrats more chances to tear into her. Weren't we were proud of our ignorant hockey mom who doesn't know anything but sticks to her belief's anyway? Anyway, she's gonna have to say SOMETHING tonight, and she's gonna have to offer more than some nasty personal attacks against Obama.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor

TIM HOWARD? Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama

JIM JOHNSON? Johnson hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee

IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS – HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE – THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New

1) Why does MccCain insist that you can only be a leader if you take on your own party? If your party happens to be right on an issue, why would you go against it? And considering that Palin went against Republicans in Alaska wo were corrupt, I don't find it such an extraordinary sign if she went against them.
2) It's not true that Obama and Biden never went against their own party. For example the ethics and transparency reforms Obama pushed through.

Th woman can't answer any questions….. When she does she's a bold faced liar …Tonight she'll really need to answer questions , how long can she go on just looking dumb and evading questions..step up to the plate or just shut up and go awaay

WE'LL SEE MR. MCSAME, WE'LL SEE.

I DO KNOW THIS:

IF YOUR GIRL BOMBS TONITE, YOU CAN KISS YOUR CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENCY GOODBYE.

END OF STORY.

I am part of the American public. The questions have been more than fair. It has finally reached a point where I can no longer listen to this man talk.

I think we will all be witness to the next SNL skit.

I hope she provides as much entertainment during the debates as she had during the interviews. Too bad the debates are neutered down so we don't break this fragile thing. Equal rights right?

If you couldn't take the heat during your own debates, John, pleeeease, do you seriously think Palin will actually do good? HAHA.

McCain is dazed and confused and Palin is just dumb.

……But the o' man will never let her be in her own skin. or would he?

If Palin is "comfortable in her own skin" why all the protection?

This lady is way over her head in this VP issue and McCain's jugement is out of wack as are all of his other utterances and actions .

McCain just doesn't get it. Period!!!

hahahahahahaha………..omg….. hahahahahahahah……….omg……hahahah

pardon me, hahahahaha……….omg

McCaligula, you must have a different definition of "fine" than the rest of us. Of course, with all your inverse-double-speak, it's obvious you've been in the Bizarro world for some time.

I'd say we should just believe the opposite of whatever you happen to say but I'm afraid you're not even coherent enough to really have a method to your madness.

Katie’s questions were more than fair. Katie was gentle and asked questions that anyone who has some common sense should be able to answer.

"" In the two separate interviews, Palin had trouble defending McCain's record on regulation issues, discussing the economic bailout, defining her foreign policy credentials, naming her preferred sources of news, and naming a Supreme Court case she disagrees with."""

Mr McCain, I here you are quite the gambler. Are you willing to wager $10,000 on whether she does fine or not tonight?

From what i have read, she may pull the card of looking at the camera, smiling and saying: "it hurts me too."

I want to hear specifics. I want to hear what she has to say about McCain, Republicans, and her thoughts on The Supreme Court, the Economy, Iran, Iraq, cirriculum in our nation's schools….HER THOUGHTS! i want to hear from HER!

Can we please hear from her? Put her on "Meet the Press." I want to see her on "Meet the Press." After that, we can decide. Or, tonight we may be bale to.

I want to hear FROM HER. Can we please?

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

Price for Obama yard sign — $8

Watching Sarah Palin lose every shred of human dignity in front of 80 million people — PRICELESS!

I though you always down play your candidate's strengths before a debate, not build them up! Won't this raise our expectations?

I'm sorry to come right back… but I just watched the video of McLiar… Is he in the tank for Obama? I ask because the lies he tells are so far fetched that NO ONE will believe any of that crap! These lies will only drive people to Obama (which is fine with me).

McCain says Palin has the experience, talent, leadership . . .

Palin may have experience, but in what? Palin doesn't show or even have the basic common knowledge of what a VP should know – memorizing stuff just isn't going to cut-it.

Talent, yeah, playing the flute I believe it was.

Leadership – a PTA mom, is this what McCain is referring to. Because she abused her power of leadership as governor, which really doesn't make Palin a person who has shown to have good or positive leadership.

uhhh…ok McCain whatever.

Who is Sarah Palin? John no one knows because she is a triohy that you keep on your pillow.

i bet mccain is shaking in his boots! palin can do nothing but attack because she is ignorant on any issue and can not answer a real question. she is clueless on american politics. she is out of her small town element and will look like a fool tonight because she has no substance. she is a bulldog in lipstick with nothing but bark to support her. america is no longer fooled!

Palen better "do fine" tonight or McCain will have a heart attack and that will be the end of her !!!!……on the other hand ….if she does well tonight …..I'LL HAVE A HEART ATTACK !!!!!!!! YAY BIDEN !!!!!!!

clean sweep under the rug, Senator Biden just have to take it COOL, no need to pop her button, she is a hopeless case.. laughing with OBAMA/BIDEN all the way to the WHITEHOUSE..

Scott L……..this is for you…………

The republicans are doomed and everyone knows it! However, please keep posting your delusional little comments they make my day!

Heh Heh

I honestly do believe Palin will do fine tonight. Let me make this clear, the chance of her being anywhere in the vicinity of the White House frightens me, but she is being coached by some of the best and dishonest lobbyists around. She will be well prepared and will talk in circles. She will attack Biden and he has to be careful not to attack her to strong. The best advise for Biden would be to go after McCain and just ignore Palin. The Couric interviews have shown that Palin is totally unaware of what has gone on in this country and others. The debates she will be well prepared and go on the attack. Hopefully voters will see that she is has been well trained and anything she says does not reflect her personal knowledge or ideas. She is just repeating what she has been taught at debate bootcamp.

GOP 2008! — Two Bumbling buffoons.

Joe, don't forget your medication tonight. i am fearful that you may be up late. You know, you don't like to be away from your $3 million 6,800 sq foot house overnight.

Hopefully you will be able to stay awake tonight.

By the way Joe, FDR wasn't the president in 1929, nor was he on TV in 1929. Now every schoolboy knows that.

So look into the Camera Joe, and say, I may be a US Senator from Delaware, a small state with just about 700,000 people, but I am not smarter than a fifth grader.

McCain is a small, small man!

Please people. Vote Obama and save us from the McCain/Palin train wreck. All they do is blame other people for their own failures. I'm so tired of this election already.

YEEOOWWW!

Thankfully you saved us the drama antics this week!

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

NO WAY NO HOW MCCAIN/PALIN…

BY THE WAY PALIN…I READ THE NY TIMES, TIME MAGAZINE…..

What else would he say. She will do a face plant tonight or just give long non answers where she talks in circles.
Go Joe! Be respectful while you rip her a new one.

I would like to request that Palin be allowed to do more real interviews with shows like "Meet the Press". They should stop sheltering her. We deserve to know who she is.

I would like to remind everyone that Palin received per diem for working at her house, charged rape victums for their rape kits, and gave $150 each to kill wolves and bring front paws back as proof.

She obviously doesn't want to waste taxpayer money, supports womens rights, and loves animals. (NOT !!!!!!)

Wow! Do you really beleive anything that comes out of your own mouth anymore?

The fundamentals of McCain's brain are stong.

Obama 08

What else can he say— they're both in a ship that's sinking FAST!

Sarah Palin makes Katie Couric look like a bitter, plastic, sarcastic woman. I think Couric's superior attitude will hurt her more than Sarah Palin. Her smiling, pandering sweet questions to Obama and Biden make one realize she is not the feminist she proclaims to be–just another left-wing female catering to liberal men.

I almost feel sorry for McCain, it has to be extremely painful to watch these interviews.

Honestly, I was absolutely amazed at how ignorant and ridiculous Palin sounded during the Katie Couric interviews. I was already voting for Obama/Biden, and watched the interviews out of curiosity – but really how can ANYONE stand behind this ticket?

How come McCain can never look at Senator Obama? How come he always avoids eye contact? Does he think Senator Obama is "beneath him?"
Anyway, Palin cramming and learning politics is laughable. She has already proved she's uneducated and inept, and nothing will change that.

Poor VP judgement by the Maverick.

Palin is a pathological liar. She says she reads "ALL" news publications and pretends like she knows Supreme Courts cases when all she knows is Rowe vs Wade.

The reason Kouric makes her stumble so bad is that Palin simply doesn't know anything about the Supreme Court, how to READ, foreign policy or anything else for that matter.

Tonight’s debate will do nothing more than cement Obama’s lead in the polls, and make Palin look like even worse (if that’s possible). It should be good for a few laughs at least.

Palin's debate prep: Trying to make her sound intelligent.
Biden's debate prep: Trying to simplify his answers so they don't overwhelm Palin.

McCain's total confidence in Palin displays just how out of touch this old windbag is. Failure as a pilot, full of lies.

Were is John McCain's health records, especially the psychological ones, and where is Sarah Palin's income tax returns?

Enough is Enough!

Just say no to:

More War McCain &
Taliban Palin

I beleive she will do well in the debate as she should since she has been in boot camp since last week. If she doesn't I really think she should step down, practing that long and failing would be horrible.

FAIL

She will do well cos she got the answers from same people that gave you saddle back's answers….Thanks,but no Thanks.

Well McCain why you not doing fine you are maken people mad with these lies of yours,,,,,McCain your judgement is bad,,,,My judgement is for you to give that 13 room mansion to homeless people in arizona
that what you call good judgement.

I just keep asking myself:

Whom would I rather see in my living room the next four years — postive, upbeat, "love America" Sarah Palin — or angry, negative, "not proud of America" Michelle Obama?

No contest for me!

Call : 911-ROMNEY !!!

Someone needs to investigate where all of these "attacks" on Sarah Palin are coming from. I have watched both interviews and what I see is seasoned journalists treating her much nicer than they do most candidates.

McCain is manufacturing these "attacks" trying to make her look like a victim because looking like a victim worked for Hillary in the primaries. The difference is that Hillary wasn't trying to play the victim card and would be disgusted if she thought people saw her as one. Palin revels in it and that's why she disgusts most of us strong, independent women.

Palin is a nice lady, but she not ready for the VP job, no matter how you spin it, Mr. McCain.

You think John? I can't wait to hear Joe smear your name like some lipstick.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Knowing the rabid religious right, is in control of the Republican party and believes in the written word, I will attempt to conclude with a biblical metaphor about evolution..

Obama the community organizer, walks into the Garden of Evil and snatches the apples away from Adam and Eve and all their children. This prevents the garden that we love from being driven into the dust from whence it came. Meanwhile the Republicans continue to drill the party deeper and deeper into the mud. Finally the Republican party’s evolution is complete and emerges as the Reptilian party.

It could not happen to a more deserving group of reptiles.

I have an idea. When McCain and Palin loose the election, everyone that supported them should move to Alaska and start their own country.

Let the rest of us go about rebuilding our great nation.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Give it up McCain. Your toast.
America has had enough of
you and Palin.

Obama/Biden Landslide

Did she not name another case, or was she asked if she could, she said yes… I don't think she was then asked to name another case…only 'could you'.

Sure, Governor Moonbeam will do just fine with expectations being as low as they are and all.

I can not wait for the debate tonight. It should be the final nail in the coffin, as Gov. Palin will show the world that she is a pathetic excuse for a leader, and will prove that she makes even the current president look like a genius.

DELUSIONAL!!! Oh never mind, he's right. She'll do fine because she will have an earpiece on with McCain spoon feeding her the answers.

well.u better hope so,john.i wouldn't be so optimistic, by her performance ,so far. besides, she wont stand a chance, if she shows up ,wearing her baby polar bear mittens.

An absolute joke.No judgement at all.

Last time I checked, McCain, being comfortable in your own skin does not qualify you to be Vice President of the Untied States, or even, dare I say, President of the Untied States, god forbid something happen to you.

Obama/Biden '08

I am ashamed of the McCain/Palin campaign. This should go down in history as the most PATHETIC campaign in American history. It is the laughing stock of the entire world. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see that these two people are disastrous for the US.

Can someone please ask him to shut up?

McBush just hopes she doesn't talk too much.
The more she talks the more people see she is a ding bat

I'm looking forward to Palin going down in history next to Dan Quayle after she opens that big mouth tonight. Maybe she'll cry? Perhaps Grampa McCain will jump up and answer the hard ones for her? Will she wear a backpack and earpiece so Rove can give her the answers, like Bush did? Caribou Barbie goes to the debates.

Cramming for a test is basically all Palin is doing. She has no real education or concept of anything other than her alaskan town.
She needs to go back to alaska – Russia misses her.

One question I've always wanted to ask…if you have to keep taking on your own party's leaders, why are you still part of that party?

Why not break off and start your own if you are so right and they are so wrong? If you are correct about everything, wouldn't all those in the party who like you better follow?

Or do you realize you haven't got a chance to get what you want (the chance to be called Mr. President) unless you get the current party backing?

senile old man…..he doesn't know what he's talking about let alone Palin. Mccain is stubborn to admit to his mistakes….

Just imagine if he was in the White House and behaving like that! It's scary.

What has Couric done in her life that made any difference? What has Charlie Gibson done in his life that made any difference? I have not heard Gibson ask Obama or BIden, or Hillary for that matter, the trick questions he asked Palin. Of course, he didn't know what he was asking anyway, so he just looked like an idiot himself. What else is new? Couric doesn't appear to have that many brains either, as far as I'm concerned. If she did, she wouldn't have accepted a job that she was obviously not qualified for. Lowest rating for the evening news. Good job Katie!

Sen McCain, your daughter oops I meant running mate will do what she always does and regurgitate your history as what else a POW. No one in America believes that you are qualified to be President just because you spent time as a POW. Gov Palin is a joke and you are a cranky old man who has resorted to dirty and untrue tactics to win the election. Shame on you sir, shame on you. Let's talk about how you wished to pain Obama as an elitist when you have how many homes again …oh wait you don't remember(senility perhaps) and how many cars again? America wake up…this is not a game

Obama/Biden 08

As long as they keep questions for Sarah limited to topics such as :

1. What is your middle name
2. What kind of Ammo do you use in your M16
3. Besides deciding when the snow plows roll in the winter, do you have any other decisions to make as governor.
4. Do you suppose that the Dinosaurs and the people that lived on earth 6,000 years ago looked and acted like the Flintstones?
5. Do you think your running mate is old?
6 Are you going to start reading newspapers now?
7. Is Judge Judy on the Supreme Court

Somebody start checking McCain's food for drugs, okay? As Letterman suggested, I think someone's been slipping him something. Maybe crystal meth – apparently they make a load of that in the Valley where Wasilla is located.

Katie Couric is now a national hero for her interview with Sara Palin.
She should be awarded a medal of honor for letting the public see and hear just how inept sara palin really is.
ALSO, Jack Cafferty is also a hero for having the guts to speak out about her!
Our country is at stake – and the public needs educated about the republicans in this election!
KUDOS to Katie Couric and to Jack Cafferty.

Thank You Senator for standing up for your beliefs!!

…Now, its time for your diaper change.

there has been no attacks. It is amazing how when people stump palin on a question it is consitered an ATTACK…

Rock on Sarah…………send that thug back to Chicago
