I would like to know when are McCain and Palin going to release their taxes for the last 10 years?

Fox News? Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. Who cares. They have given up even trying to hide that they are in the tank for any and all things Repulican. I have noticed alot lately that when talking about McCain or the Repub Party they use the word "we" instead of they. Also what the heck was that USA! USA!USA! chant started by Palin at the after debate rally? Reminded me of something at a hockey game.

Just who does sarah palin think she is???? Because she managed to string together 2 coherent sentences, she thinks she can bash Obama. Go back home to Alaska, you're NOT WANTED here; and you're definitely NOT WANTED anywhere near the WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

Who cares what she thinks.

This individual is not prepared to be the next vice-president of the United States. Period.

Biden did an excellent job last night and to the intelligent Americans, he showed the alarming disparities in the Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin philosophies. I am afraid for America if McCain gets into office with a vice-president Palin.

Side note: The news media cannot attack Palin either! Why? Because she is a woman and they have already been accused of sexist, biased reporting. Once again the MSM has fallen into the hands of the McCain/Rove camp.

Nonethless, HOPE and HELP is on the way!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

You're right Sarah………..It is all Couric's fault….She should have asked you tough questions……LIKE.."what temperature does it have to be to make ice"………..Sarah, go back to Alaska ……………………………

Would I prefer Charles Manson as a VP? — You Betcha

What he did was speak the truth…Sarah Palin obviously cannot handle the truth.
This women showed me last night althought she is very "folky" that I want to have a VP twhoknows more than what she was taught in a few weeks.
I do not understand the people that will vote for McCain because Sarah Palin is a mom and is nice!!!
This is our Country we are talking about!! We need someone who knows the law, someone who can comprehend any situation that comes up and not act impulsively as we have seen McCain do.
We need Joe Biden helping President Obama.

Sarah should go home and keep a sharp eye out for Putin flying over.

Silly Sarah might be qualified as a writer for Saturday Night Live but, anything else, no way!

And not knowing what I vp does, or not thinking much about a war that had gone on for years (Iraq) doesn't automatically disqualify her?

This is the same woman who would use her "power as vice president" over the senate. Yes the vp is the president of the senate and acts as a tie breaking vote, but I think she missed the boat about the checks and balances and seperations of our three branches.

As for Obama raising taxes the has constantly been proven as misleading, maybe her campaign should look at the fact that ECONOMISTS feel the Obama camp is offering the better economic plan.

Just because she isn't an elitest, East Coast snob does not mean she is stupid folks. Personally, I am sick and tired of this bunch of idiots on the "hill" telling the rest of American what we need. Obama is by far the worst snobby, smirking, "I'm better than you" elitest of them all. I would rather vote for a team that knows what I experience than that lying, South Chicago, Daley-Machine robot Obama. Because he doesn't have a clue.

Awwww please…..I am voting for Barack just because I do not want to hear her 3rd grade answers again!
She survived the debate which she and her about 20 advisors crammed for. Now how's about we go on to Meet the Press or any other intelligent interviews?
And Sean Hannity or the other dunces at Fox News don't count!

Sit down, clown.

My vote goes to McCain/Palin

She was wonderful in the debate.

and so……………………."bomb bomb bomb Iran" is not???? She showed she can recite verse last night, does not know HOW TO DEBATE…go back to Alaskammmmaybe if your state suceeds in seceeding from the union you can be president of your owm BANANA REPUBLIC…really scarry good thing Halloween is just around the corner…so I can try to make sense of her gibberish

Palin………………….there is only one way to go…………………… thats back to the land of the midnight sun

This woman is really starting to be annoying! Not only her screechy voice, but her self-righteous, know-it-all attitude, which just basically shows she is desperatley trying to disguise how inept she is.

America, please don't let her or McCain near the white house!!

WE need Obama/ Biden!

Angus McDugan,

And you mama should have taken you to school…

The liberal media will not stop asking gov. palin if she is ready or not. how many time was obama been ask the same question? Or his background? Obama no experience not ready to lead. This is the presidency of our country not a job at burger king or community organizing job
last night governor palin prove to every one that she is ready and have the experience needed. She took Biden to the cleaners.

OMG hahahahahaha this lady…

WILL BE DISQUALIFIED

once the truth about troopergate comes out of course, if ever! which is somewhat unlikely now because the GOP hired lawyers to prevent that from ever happening.

When Palin asked Biden last night if she could call him Joe, he should have responded with "Youbetcha Guv!" echoing her manipulative crap… ever so folksy like!

What is Palin even talking about. She can't seem to answer any question posed to her and instead insists on hiting talking points that she has been coached on. If we don't actually start hearing HER actual opinions, how are we supposed to give her a chance at leading our country. So far all I've heard from her is PHONY. By the way Couric played slow pitch with her and she still couldn't even make contact with the ball.

How did the Ron Paul supporters get here.. spam the comment s before anyone can read them… she did fine last night.

"Ok, democratic biased CNN and followers, put you spin on this, I love to see closeminded people in action."

"An AP Fact Check later reported Western forces had been killing civilians at a higher rate than insurgents."

So, in Sarah's little world an appropriate question is one she's had enough time prepping for with the Bush folks. I'm surprised she isn't complaining about the questions during the debate, but then she didn't really answer any of those either!

This is coming from a woman who doesn't even know where Afghanistan is.

PS John McChicken hates women.

funny how someone who isn't qualified to be president is trying to disqualify another candidate.

and really, if you complain that katie couric is too tough on you, you probably aren't qualified to be commander in chief.

Give us a break!!

If you can't stand the heat, GET OUT of the kitchen!!

Saying you believe in creationism disqualifies her from being Vice President.

Palin should thank Katie Couric for not asking her tougher questions, because she couldn't answer the easy ones. In the debate she was only reciting what she'd been brainswashed & coached repeatedly to say. She has nothing "off the cuff" as these comments show. she will be back to gaffe'n and putting her foot in her mouth once again. she's a loose cannon!…she did "better than expected" in the debate…end of conversation. She still isn't qualified and she needs to quit patting her self on the back for what she thinks is a job well done. she's not qulaified.

Are you serious Palin? Obama was not saying (keyword: "Not) that we should continue to air-raid and kill civilians. He was stating a fact (keyword: "fact") on what was going on if Afghan. and if we are going to be successful we need to change our strategy. You refused to use the word "not" in your statement and you refused to state the facts. Someone should nominated themself to disqualify for VP….

I disqualify you Sarah Palin!

Oh my God what an idiot this woman is.

How does 3 years in the Senate qualify Osama to be President? Does anyone think the Joint Chiefs would take Osama seriously with his little to no knowledge on military operations and capabilities?? There's some fancy lawyering going on in the democratic ticket, tell the people what they want to hear, blame Bush for everything and link him to McCain, win the Presidency with words and not actions, that's what they're hoping for.

Palin may not say what you liberal hippies want to hear, but at least you know it will be the truth. Glad to see Dems scared today after she did so well last night. They see the true Palin, and they're all afraid their prescious Osama is losing ground. The truth hurts nutjobs.

so alaska voted this person into office? is it too late to give alaska back to russia?

oh so now that mccain is letting you talk you are just going to trash everybody. one thing he hasn't taught you is that you need the media just as much as they need you. don't trash the media because they can trash you as well.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

She was a joke before the debate - she's still a joke. Fox News - give me a break and head over to Meet the Press!

My response to you : faye, NV

MY IQ IS 4

You hear that America, all Palin wants is that you stop asking questions. Nothing good ever comes from asking questions.

Just bend over and accept it, already. No more questions.

McCain!.

This is America. No one's name disqualifies them. You sound uneducated and you make our country look bad.

What did she think, Katie would just let her say whatever she wanted? Palin is mentally challenged.

You mean Faux News will ask her the real hard questions…………that's funny

I wanna President who is smarter than me, and that is Barack Obama!!

Like our VP standards have always been OH so high?

Agnew. Ford. Mondale. Bush Sr. Gore. Cheney.

There's a winning bunch if I ever saw one.

Palin is no position to make such statements. She is a folk-clown.

There is no other politician , man or woman, who would be congratulated for the way this woman spoke. If Obama spoke with the slang and avoided questions, the media would have said this man is truly unqualified. It is obvious that she is following what ever she is feed by her party. She don't even know John McCain's view on the simplest issues. Peolple are telling her what to do and say. This is why she is having problems and can't answer questions. When she has to answer questions as president, what will she do? Start winking her eye and avoiding questions. McCain should really be ashamed of himself for this bad decision.

Instead of shutting right up after being saved by the bell, this woman had the effrontery to open her puppet mouth and call Obama reckless on Fox news of all network…………..I think its time for another interview with Katie Couric and its time to meet the press…………………………
McCain = Confusion
Palin = Failure

This is great…after scanning the blogs here, it becomes pretty obvious that 98% of the visitors to the CNN web site are die hard liberals. This explains why your question about who won the debate reflects a majority for Biden.
Most of these people sound like they should be locked up and put away for a while and allowed to dry out and get off whatever it is they are addicted to.
I observed the debate from the point of view of an independant and I thought Biden was a bit redundant and really full of himself and really misquoting the facts as they are. Palin was better than I expected and left me failry impressed and ended the program thinking this person could be President some day.
With that in mind, allow me to make a prediction.
McCain and Palin win and in four years Hillary runs against Palin.

I am so tired of this woman. 6 yrs to complete a 4 yr degree… now we know why.

I wished they would have brought up the G.I. Bill that McCain didn't vote for.

Listen little Missy, Obama has done more for our troops than you would ever hope to do. You are a Partyline follower and should know what the facts are before opening your mouth.

wink-wink, talk about sexism…

So let me get this straight: the fact that Obama came out and said basically the truth of what is going on in Afghanistan, as later confirmed by independent news sources, disqualifies him from the presidency in Palin's world.

What world is she living in?

And since when did government transparency become a bad word?

Plausible deniability! How long are we going to pretend that we are doing "god's work" and "liberating" people in Iraq and Afghanistan? We have killed more civilians there, due to bad intelligence and reckless behavior, than those who died under Taliban regime. This is not a holocaust of innocent lives, this is a killing field for our target practice. Enough!

7 years later, Laden & Co. are still roaming free, and these politicians and the dimwit Americans, are still screaming "Patriotism" and "Freedom".

No Gov. Palin! Protesting against the war doesn't make anyone disqualified or unpatriotic. That makes us more American than you are.

Yes Palin is losing it. She's hanging around with Hannity and O'Reilly too much. All nuts!!!

"I think, in my world……."

Well, that pretty much says it all doesn't it?

Oh yah, ya jes get clobbered der do'n cha know! Come on you half wit! It had nothing to do with the questions you were asked! It comes down to the fact that you are an unqualified AIRHEAD!!!

Update!! palin is now mad that mcCain is pulling out of Michigan. She disagrees with this decision and wants to go there with "Todd" and try again. 5 weeks on the national scene, and she is already trying to shove mcCain into the background and take over his campaign. The Republicans are falling apart. This woman is making a power grab right in front of thier eyes!

Blame, blame, blame, lie, lie,lie, oil ,blame, Alaska, lie, blame. This is all I hear when Sarah Palin talks.

It would be reckless to elect John McSame and Sarah Pain..

Period..

Palin go back to Alaska………Do you honestly think that there are people in this country that would support you in dealing with foreign policy? You couldn't, or wouldn't even answer half the questions you were given during the debate!!!!

You would be speaking with people who have little or no regard for women……your folksy, cutesy, gosh darn, wink wink, would definitely not help. They would just pat you on your head and make you believe that you've won. These people don't play games…..especially with people who don't know anything.

Sarah has lost her bloody mind. LMAO, on the fact she can only talk to Fox; what a joke Sarah, John and Fox are. If she has something to say to us, let her hold a press conference and she can talk all she wants, on anything she wants. Katie asked her easy questions and she could not answer one. Do us all a favor Sarah and take your lying butt back to Alaska where it belongs. I'm sure the moose population is growing and missing you

Simply put, Palin is a dunce. She makes Dan Quayle look like a brilliant intellect! Who is she kidding? The shrill sound of her mealy mouthed voice makes me cringe!

It's a sad day in America when many are celebrating the questionable abilities of a Vice Presidential candidate provides nothing of substance when it comes to national and international issues. Her astounding ignorance is a joke– and the rest of the world is laughing at us!

Sarah Palin is not stupid and that was emphasized by last night's debate. No ,Sarah is misinformed, manipulative, confused,uninsightful and way out of her league….but not stupid.
As George W will go down as America's worst president , her contemporaneous nomination for V.P. will be looked back upon as the silliest ever !

Palin talking about lack of qualifications due to comments?

Really?

I don't think I need to say any more. Those who actually aren't starry eyed over her 'folksy charm' and see her for what she is will understand why.

I personally think that Gov. Palin is the last person who should be commenting on some ones readiness for the job they are up for, considering she can't even think or talk for herself. I have yet to hear one thing come out of her mouth that was not written by Karl or McCain. come on Sarah what do you really think ?

Sarah:

There's no filter efficient enough to sift through all your scripted "knowledge", lies and B.S. And your an expert on one thing: PERPETUAL FAILURE.

Did Gov. Palin memorize this answer too?

This is funny. She should keep quiet on qualifications. the format of the debate didn't allow follow ups or clarifications. She recited the libes she had rehearsed very well. But that's it. Watch her next interview and you'll see. Unless it's on Fox

She is an idiot… a cocky know-nothing… that keeps spewing lies… what a shame some people eat this up..

Don't be mad they didn't ask questions that cater to your talking points palin!

WOW

-V

puppet ….you are just reading what they gave you girlfriend.

I didnt know if i was watching a debate or MTV !!!
winks kisses "shout outs to your high school????

Barack Obama is the one candidate who spoke out firmly against the invasion of Iraq in 2002. I wonder if Sarah Palin even knew that Iraq was a country back then. So the person who has been correct on every important issue of strategy isn't qualified, and the team of McCain-Palin, who combine impulsiveness, bad judgment, and cluelessness, are??? Give me a break! This is like a minor league water boy saying that Ryan Howard isn't qualified to be MVP.

This woman is nuts. It is Obama who knows what is needed in Afghanistan, not McCain/Palin. She failed to answer many of the debate questions last night probably because she has no earthly idea what to say. Can you imagine her on the world stage? Not me. Biden was superb and I know Barack will be great on Tuesday night! Vote for Obama/Biden to restore our nation's credibility and stature!

Happy Anniversary, Barack and Michelle, and wishing you many more!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Sarah - go home to Alaska and cook mooseburgers because that might be the only thing you are qualified to do.

If Palin wants a better idea of who should be disqualified to be President, she should look in the mirror.

This from someone that cannot answer hardball questions like "What magazines do you read"………..Oh yeah I'm sure she could handle being VP and one 72 year old guys heartbeat away from being President………..
You can't "wink" your way out of the issues………………

McCain! October 3rd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

…his name should disqualify him from being President…
________________________________________________________
his name are you serious? you must have the IQ of a stale bag of chips, either that you are super ignorant

YOU CAN TAKE BARBIE OUT OF THE TRAILER PARK, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE TRAILER PARK OUT OF BARBIE!

WHAT A STOOGE!

The Tina Fay is back and she is in full blast and Saturday Night Live will have more amunition to shoot this nut case with her own gun.

Obama/Biden 08/12

just a thought:

"a team of mavericks" …… literally impossible since a maverick is a lone dissenter or individualist and cannot side with another.

hmmm……

Are you kidding me! She doesn't fall on her face during the debate and now she is going to come out today like she knows what she is talking about? I hope that the American people realized yesterday that she about 5 comments that were well rehearsed and she just randomly kept repeating them over and over. God help us all if she ever becomes President!

Does she have dementia or some other mental disorder.

Certainly looks like she does.

All this coming from the women who named a civil war general instead of the actual general in Afghanistan, doesn't know that the troops levels are not lower than they were before the surge and thinks that inserting the word surge in every sentence will justify the dumbest war waged in modern American history….please spare me!

I hope Sarah was just getting sympathy for last night or looking for a camera to show off her winks. Sarah Obama doesn't care about you and how you feel about him. You should try to find out how to get your man to get with the program.

So, Obama tells the brutal truth — that's reckless.

But McCain saying "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" is not!

Oh the hypocrisy drips read with blood in the McCain campaign. Their lack of integrity sucks!

McCain/Palin open yours eyes!!!!

News today is that once again U.S. led forces fired missles into Pakistan killing 20 people. This action authorized by President Bush, which, they have been doing for months.

And yet the two of you are condemming Obama for possible doing it when President Bush continues to violate the borders of a country?????

More from the"BS Express" on the "Campaign to Nowhere".

Look Simple Palin needs to watch her step. For her to go on faux news and make comments on something he said and take it out of context is a big mistake. Bad enough Americans thinks she is unintelligent. And please believe a lot more women like Katie Couric than Simple

Poor Sarah ! I'm sorry you are "getting clobbered" , but a very old wise man once said …. "life is not fair"

Just ANSWER the questions, Sarah and maybe you wouldn't get clobbered. By the way, I am a 69 year-old Navy veteran who cares nothing about your connection with Joe-6 pack and everything in the world about your readiness to become President of The US of America.

If you were Kay Bailey Hutchison or Olympia Snowe, I would be taking a long look at your running mate, but as it is, I will go with the young visionary for Illinois.

Next time, come prepared be a good citizen and stay home.

How dare her speak of anyone that is not ready to become commander-in-chief, besides herself. It is amazing that this woman does not see the forrest for the trees. She is too dumb to realize that she is out of her league. She measured her win in the debate because she did not become dumb founded or tongue tied. How much lower will the standards drop for her. Will america declare her as vp material if she just make an appearance. She said a whole lot of nothing at the debate. Someone really needs to ask her to drop off of the ticket. But according to her statement, she wants more duties as VP. It is obvious, she is waiting for Mccain demise so she can play "Ms. President". She is a waste of space. However, I would like to thank her for making it easier for Barack to win.

Personally… I think the fact that she refuses to cooperate with a bipartison investigation into her practices is reason enough to disqualify her from running for any office. Refusing to answer to a supbena and requesting the members of her administration to do the same!

In any other situation… this would be called contempt of court and she would be in jail.

If he's unqualified, then what are you compared to him? Think about it, Sarah.

Spoken as America's undisputed expert on "rekless statements".
I suppose being unable to answer questions out of a lack of knowledge doesn't dis-qualify her?

Time & again Obama's words have been taken out of context in a feeble attempt to misguide, mislead, and trick the American people. These cheap tactics disqualify Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin for the presidency and vice presidency.

Obama-Biden '08

you know what? it's just too serious of a time for this. if the economy was great and the wars didn't exist, then fine, go ahead and vote for someone who you think is just a regular person. but if you do it now, you simply don't care what actually happens to this country.

Why did we let women into this process anyway? Now it's like we've reverted back to high school politics….

Oh, I'm sorry, was that sexist???

Like it or not - that's just the way it is if you want to be on top.

Take it or leave it, but stop WHINING

Gov. Palin is a good fit with McCain, she is as dishonest at he is. Her comments against the news media are the dumbest claims I have ever heard. She spoke the lines and they were dumb. CBS did not change any of her utterances - make a dumb comment, then blame someone else - great candicate for VP. It bothers me that the right leaning press is so impressed that she can talk well, usually when she has notheing worthwhile to say. If what we want for a VP is a talker, instead of someone who has the countries interest in mind, she fits the bill. She is only exceeded by one person, Cheney, as undesirable.

As a former SSgt who did a tour in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and South Korea, I'm voting for Obama.

Facts aren't lies.

"Mccain/Palin- Thanks, but no thanks!"

Sarah, get real girl you couldn't tell the difference between a leader and a wondering moose!

This girl is the goofiest politician we have ever had in a national election and that includes "bush the idiot".

THE SCARIEST THING OF ALL IS THAT PALIN IS MORE LIKE BUSH THAN MCCAIN.

DANGEROUSLY STUPID!

It is sad that she is now trying to take an attacking role. This is just not credible. Go start your NUCULAR war.

How about apologizing for being ignorant or coached? You can say what you want. The fact is that Governor Palin knows nothing about foreign affair. Her "coached" statements yesterday during the debate showed her lack of knowledge. The fact that she AVOIDED answering some questions intentionally showed her ignorance.

What's really uncomforting is the fact that she is over-confident and ambitious. This is exactly what Bush's first term is like: neocon cowboy policy. I think this is exactly why we are in the situation where we are in now. SCARY that she is a heart beat away from the person who controls the red button to our nuclear weapon.

She is right about the media! She couldn't win with any answer! When she chose not to site examples of publications she has read it was interpreted as he not reading any. She knew if she had sited several, she would have been challenged for weeks to come about whether she was reading the correct stuff. Give her a break! She is MORE qualified than Obama to run this country. All he can do it talk - she CAN DO what she says - and she HAS done what she says.

October 3rd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Is she insane…?

Yes

Okay here goes the COOCKOO now that she isnt on index cards and memorized lines.

She needs to go home.. she isnt qualified for Vice Pres!!

She is no one to say who should be commander in chief. She doesn't even know who's leading our troops in Afghanistan. McClellan was a civil war general. Her tutors didn't drill her enough on current history. Or maybe she should read one newspaper instead of all of 'em. LOL

Doggone it…..gotcha…she is the star of her own "not-so-reality" show.
Cheney blocks investigations…Palin..ditto; Cheney is an expert on energy..Palin..ditto…hmmmm

How about the Keating Five ????? Oh, that was while she was in grade school !!!!

She is scary, period.

When you attack people for their beliefs, don't be surprised when they hit Governor Palin. When all your ticket believes in is war, you will get exactly what you believe in.

That ain't gonna fly Ms Palin….

Obama/Biden '08

This duo and their campaign as well as their rightwing nuthouse fox news will go down as the worst lieing scumbags ever to be running for office and those who are involved.

My stomach hurts just thinking what scum, lowlife's fox news and the Mccain campaign are, they are like the bullies of a school yard out to push around anyone and take their milk money, November can't come soon enough!

Just because she didn't stick her entire foot in her mouth again last night, she thinks she can get cocky. She didn't even answer many of the questions. The ones she did answer were either some pre-written and rehearsed spew of what someone else thinks, or a babbling mess of one liners strung together that made no sense.

This piece of trash needs to step aside and let real leaders move forward. All she does is waste everyones time and energy. She's a nothing.

HOLLY COW !!! SHE MAKES OUR CURRENT IDIOT

LOOK LIKE A SECOND COMING OF EINSTEIN !!!!!!!!

everybody loves Sarah Palin's "folksy" talk…..apparently that's all she can do…is that the way she is going to talk to foriegn leaders and diplomats?….maybe she'll just send them a "shout-out"
Please! she is a disgrace to professional women everywhere! i miss Hillary too!

and by the way, Palin is NO Geraldine Ferraro.

I think some of Sarah Palin's comments should disqualify her. We do not have enough troops to send to Afghanistan because they are all in Iraq. They need to start coming home. That is not a surrender, it is simply common sense. We cannot continue to spend 10.5 billion a month to keep our troops in Iraq. Also, Osama Bin Laden is in Pakistan/Afghanistan, not Iraq. The war on terror needs to be conducted where he is, not in Iraq. I am a Republican who will NOT be voting for the McCain/Palin ticket.

No Sarah,
You are the one how is not qualified! You need to go back to Alaska.
Your performance last night was a joke. You did not answer any of the question and just vomited your prepared comments on you note cards. You Sarah are a joke.
Obama/Biden
Send this trailer trash packin and buy her a "g".

Dear Sarah,

You have gone on record numerous times saying many things that don't even make sense in the context of a sentence. Your incessant use of the term "dawgonnit" and "maverick" are inexcusable. Please, before you open your mouth again, think through your words, and make them make sense. Until you do that, I do not believe you are qualified to be Vice President. Hell, I don't think you're qualified to be Governor of Alaska, or Mayor of Wasilla. Please, just step out of politics, for your own good.

Sincerely,

Adam, Plano, TX

Speaking in Palin "folksy talk":

Sarah, you don't know a dern thing bout furin policy….

And I think her lack of experience and knowledge on basic issues, domestic issues, as well as foreign policy "disqualifies" Palin from being a VP candidate.

And, call me crazy, but isn't it elitist to call people elite as if somehow you're better than them?

"Some of his comments that he has made about the war…I think, in my world, disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander-in-chief,"

Well, Sara, most of us don't live in your world. In your world dodging questions, choosing to answer what ever question you best remember the canned answer to qualifies you for VP. Enjoy the next 8+ years in Alaska, I hear it's beautiful up there.

According to Palin, Katie Couric did ask her enough questions about the issues? Other than financial issues, international issues, legal issues, policy issues and education issues, she would be right.

Man! Heckuva lady!

When Palin runs for president, I have no doubt she'll last longer than Dan Quayle did in 2000. Until then, it's back to her backyard where she can look out at Russia.

Once again the iberals provide vicious personal attacks rather than looking at the issues.

Joe Biden was defintely flustered by his making up 'truths'. Sarah Palin was articulate and pushed the right buttons.

Obama is not qualified. Truly look into what he wants to do with our military. Where does he get the funds to pay for his 'entitlements' if not through taxes?

Look for substance not a well dressed orator! If you do you find McCain.

Someone should tell Sarah not to let John ruin what potential she may have as a promising politician. When the ticket loses, this circus of a campaign will be remembered .Will anyone ever take her seriously again? Maybe she should factcheck the lies she's being fed before this arsenal of mispeaks and lies are used to prove her untrustworthiness in future campaigns, as well as her above the law attitude with the Trooper-gate ordeal.

Future Fox news anchor.

"Gee wizz", "Gosh Darn", "Doggone", "Yup". This woman may play well in the most rural areas of the country, but in real life, she just showed how truly ignorant she is when the words have not been put in her mouth!

Only 34 more days and no more Palin. "GOAS DARNIT!

Hi Mrs Palin,
You've got to thank God, for your survival in the debate! Your own republicans folks had wanted to ditch you! Go to fact - check on cnn to read the exact reaction of Sen. Obama….Who said the central front on terrorism is in Afghanistan?

And when Palin grabs the wrong 3 x 5 card and starts World War 3 . . .

Last time I checked, the constitution said that a natural born citizen over the age of 35 is eligible to be come the president via the election process. There might be some other requirement, but statements don't disqualify anyone (with the exception of treason) from being president. Since when did Palin become a constitutional scholar?

The statements that she is refering to have some basis in fact. The president of Afghanistan has called for less air strikes and better work at reducing civilian casulties. That is something that can be reduced in part by more troops on the ground; done in concert with better contruction/reconstruction, it will make Afghanistan more stable.

OMG… The more she talk without her talking point, the more idiotic she sounds. I cannot believe that someone would actually find her appealing, I mean… C'MON PEOPLE

Actually, McCain, picking Palin, disqualifes him for presidency

Palin is a disgrace for this whole nation. I watched the whole debate and I could have done much better not being born in this country.

The format of the debates should have been different to allow moderator to intervene and force her to answer questions which would have made a comic night and good skit for SNL.

We are all deprived of some stupidity from the 6 pack Joe

And I think Palin's inability and unwillingness to answer most of the questions at the debate disqualify her from criticizing anybody else's comments.

An "empty headed happy face covered in lipstick" is the way that I would define a clown. A moron never really knows that they are a moron. That's
what makes them a moron. BUT, good strategy … don't answer the questions, just spout the sound bites that have been programmed into your empty head. Oh and by the way ……. no dirt has been turned on the PROPOSED $40 billion gas pipeline that will be built by Canadians and will run through Canada. How about a little honesty.

McCain! October 3rd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

…his name should disqualify him from being President…

Your ignorance should disqualify you from voting.

she is demented! palin has no idea what foreign relations are. all she thinks is USA is the only foreign country for ALASKA!! with great difficulty and training she could say the name of irans's president. and she thinks she knows all about Iraq and afghanistan. God save America for even having her as a candidate. are republicans so bankrupt to choose Palin as A VP candidate?

Way to go Sarah. Obama is COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED for any elected position, much less the POTUS.

I continue to be dismayed at the public's gullibility to this flim-flam man from Chicago.

What an immature little snip!!!! She can't answer a single question posed to her. NOT READY TO LEAD.

Every time this woman opens her mouth I cringe.

What a loser!

Maybe we should give her another chance to answer last night's debate questions!!!!

And How many questions did she answer? Honestly!!!

Conservatives is this what you really wants for this great country?

McCain/Palin: The ticket of WHINERS!

Please is she for real or am i dreaming…this is funny. Stop her before she disgraces herself evenmore. Leave this election with some dignity lady or shut the hell up….Your knowledge of America: "0″ which means ZERO!

Obama was speaking the truth…

Too bad she's disqualified by not answering ANY QUESTIONS last night.

She won the debate because the expections for her were so low. She isn't ready to be in national government. However she did get elected as governer of a state. She must have done something to get people to vote for her.

Hey Sarah, how about you disclose your tax returns as the FEC has demanded you to do so by today?

Where is your reform image and transparency in government or does that just apply to everyone but you and McCain?

The fact that America's #1 issue is the economy and John McCain votes with George Bush 90% of the time, including 100% of the time this year, and even said George Bush's line "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" two weeks ago should disqualifies John McCain because Bush has already used his two terms allowed.

Someone please Miss South Carolina her way back to Alaska. I think she might get lost.

I saw the debate, how can anyone who doesn't answer a single question and think they are qualified to be vp, talk about reckless, how can anyone who can sit there and tell flat out lies talk about reckless statements, Good person, bad leader. Ready to lie, not ready to lead

Ms. Palin, millions of Americans believe you are not qualified to be the VP nominee.
I think Mr. McCains comments regarding our economy were degrading and insulting to average American and very reckless. I think he should apologize for his ignorance. Ya think.

Has anyone bothered to tell Palin she is not qualified to be VP? Oops forgot, that's a question she will refuse to answer because she doesn't have a clue.

How about McCain, bomb bomb bomb Iran? I guess in her book that's a good qualification.

What an idiot!!

What is another name for a really dumb, female, pitbull with lipstick?

I'm a 64 year old retired engineer that has worked his way through collage, worked two jobs to raise a family and save for the future and have seen a lot transpire over the years in politics.

But, this Silly Sarah is by far the worst example of a political leader we have ever witnessed. She is completely unqualified, lacks the common decency to tell the truth, and has such a small world view that she makes George Bush look smart!

This daughter of Cheney will bring about economic ruin and leave our standing in the world irreparable damaged.

True, looks don't make a candidate, looks don't define intelligence; however, I have noticed that most individuals (at my offices' water cooler) who are filled with such hatred toward Gov. Palin fall into two categories:

They are either women (who are unattractive and insecure) or they are (gay men) who are sarcastic and insecure.

This is based on the fact that they have been hauled off to Human Resources, due to their same petty behavior towards other employee's.

Some have actually been terminated for such slander!

I would hardly be concerned about what is considered "disqualifying" in the world of a crazy wench like Palin…

Every time she opens her mouth she reinforces the perception that she is a dimwit. If Republicans think she is the 2nd best person to be on the ballot what does that tell America about their party.

well, she does have the bridge to nowhere, and couldn't even answer the questions asked her last night. what a fake she is and so is mccain. now that obama is leading the race mcsame says its not fair, NEWS FLASH GROW UP MCSAME AND PALIN!

This is coming from someone who said Katie Couric annoyed her with "gotcha" questions. A question as simple as what newspaper she reads.

Yeah right! Quit talking gibberish!

Time & again Obama's words are taken out of context in a feeble attempt to mislead, misguide, and trick the American people. These tactics disqualify Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin for the presidency & vice presidency.

Obama-Biden '08!

Wow, another interview with Fox News. She's really putting herself out there. Go on Meet The Press, Palin. Let's see how you do in a real interview on live TV.

this woman is a complete fool!

Sara memorized and stayed on a programed plan. She is way out of her league and it shows up big. She is no winning and really can flirt.
wink, wink.

Sarah

Please just stop talking and continue being McSame's puppet.

I think the gloves need to come off where Sarah Palin is concerned. Treat her like any other candidate. Ladies - isn't equality one of the reasons behind the women's movement. Stop protecting her and making excuses for her. She is in no way ready to be Vice President let alone a heart beat away from the being the President. She looked like a cheerleader flirting with the football squad last night.

I truly fear for our country should the McCain/Palin ticket win.
(CNN let's see if you post this - you post like 1 in 50 of my comments)

HOW ABOUT YOU ANSWER A COMPLETE QUESTION AND RELEASE THOSE TAX RECORDS B4 YOU SAY ANYMORE "RECKLESS" RUSSIA COMMENTS.

Go Mrs. Palin…Yee Haw!!

You are such a beehive of commentary!!

"…mavrick, reformer, nuculer, also…mavrick, reformer, nuculer, also…mavrick, reformer, nuculer, also…mavrick, reformer, nuculer, also…"

Scares me to think Palin would be the leader of the house and a heart beat from the presidents seat. Say isn't so Joe!

Did she lose her mind or she became crazy?

Palin speaks volumes about the modern GOP. Just put a "Hockey Mom" out there, and have her talk tough about "waving flags of surrender" and "Terrorists that want to kill us".

Wake up, Republicans. Just because Palin and McCain like to talk tough does not mean they are competent leaders.

Obama/Biden 08!

Sarah Palin is the cheerleader for John McCain. When she spoke during the debate, I was ready to get out my pom poms! Darn it!

CAN I CALL YOU JOOOOE, WINK, WINK ?

CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN

Mayor of Nowheresville to perky gubernatorial fireplug, only to later become, thanks to McCain's appalling judgment, the most insulting caricature of female empowerment in modern history who, as the VP debate painfully revealed, still knows not a single substantive thing about American domestic or foreign policy,

David Brooks, describing Palin's triumph: "Was this woman capable of completing an extemporaneous paragraph — a collection of sentences with subjects, verbs, objects and, if possible, an actual meaning? By the end of her opening answers, it was clear she would meet the test. " Well, that settles it: she's qualified to be president. You Betcha!

i felt that last night palin was just told "hey, be adorable for an hour and a half and you'll do fine. if you don't know the answer here's a list of things you can say that may help." some of those questions she didn't answer at all… or was that "not answering in the way they want". are you kidding me.

i swear, if someone winks at me today i just may scream.

i must admit, i'm tempted to vote for the pair, just so tina fey can keep up the humor.

I'm sure in "her world" that would disqualify someone. What color is the sky in her world anyway?

I wish that palin would take the time to read and develope an opinion of her own, being a parrot is not very appealing to anyone….

Sorry, if my comment before gets posted it as supposed to be:

That's called politics and running for office - not are.

Palin - After hearing your interviews with Katie Couric we all know you are the reckless one. Go sit down somewhere and study up for your next interview or gaffe, whichever comes first. What nerve!

The AP reported Obama's comments were accurate. So we don't want a commander in chief who is right about the issues? Give me a break. Enough of the McCain/Palin BS.

In other words, she did not know the answers.

"…you get clobbered…"

Yeah, well… that tends to happen when you don't know what the hell is going on in the country, its history, or the issues that (at least) 50% of the citizens DO care about.

Mrs. Palin: please DON'T infer that you know what questions I want the answers to.

McCain: just smile and wink at the camera a lot and repeat what we have been saying on the stump…. Drill baby drill, maverick, maverick, maverick, change, change, change, Joe six pack, tax cuts, tax, cuts, and throw in a hockey mom….

Palin: John do you think we can really win the white house like this?

McCain: Look Sara you’re no Hillary, that’s why we need a different approach, I didn’t pick you for your knowledge of the issues.

Palin: Why did you pick me?

McCain: Because I don’t want somebody smarter than me as my VP, how would that look, Duh!!!

It doesn't take Sarah Palin to convince me that Barack is not only a very bad choice as an American President, but he also has no business representing this country in anyway politically.

Barack does not represent American values, nor does he have the desire to keep Americans safe from foreign entities who want to demolish this country. Socialism is evil and should not be tolerated by a free thinking society AND if you agree with Baracks vision of this country you are not American.

She has GOT to be kidding! After some of the things that she and McCain have said and some of the things they have done, Palin actually has the nerve to suggest that it's OBAMA that should be disqualified??!!!??

Gee, since Sarah says he should be disqualified. Maybe, we should just elect John and Sarah. Tell Obama that he's disqualified. What a complete flake. Did she even answer one question last night?

And I can see Russia from my house disqualifies you for VP!!! Let's put it this way Saving someones life after they were hit by a car, doesn't excuse you from the criminal charges is you driving drunk was the one that jit them. The surge success or non success means nothing becasue we started a war that should have not been started in the first place. McCain is not fit to lead and that's why Gallop poll has Obama +7. Say it isn't so Sarah!!! LOL!!!!

Obama/Biden 08/12!!!

Shhhh, everybody quiet please, the moose is about to speak.

Palin is plain dump, stupid and an arrowhead. You are looking a talking about past stuff back a year ago. Now to be on point for 2008, Ms Lame Brain Palin there is a thing call America not winning because of bombing in Iraq, and there is a need for more troops in Afghanistan that was reported in the newpaper. McLame Brain Palin you don't read the news. Now if you think just because you didn't answer any questions pertaining to economy, health care etc, but chose to answer what you cram for that do not give you any reason to say who is more appropriate to be President. Surely you are dreaming because McCain don't have a single plan unless Obama put on out and he plaqarise it or should I say custom fit it to make people think it belongs to McCain. If you notice you nor McCain can't answer a single question on point. Go away little girl and play with you moosesssssss.

This chick can't even speak in complete sentences.

Talk about ignorant. She is the dumbed down example of what happens when we don't raise our children to value education.

neither of her older children have graduated high school and they're following her footsteps in terms of higher education.

How can someone with a four year degree that it took six years and five colleges to earn lecture a Harvard graduate and president of the law review?

Somebody please teach this hick chick how to speak in complete sentences before she levels charges at any educated American.

Repubs should be ashamed of themselves.

Palin - After hearing your interviews with Katie Couric we all know you are the reckless one. Go sit down somewhere and study up for your next interview or gaffe, whichever comes first. What nerve!

One word -PROJECTION.

Sarah Palin is a tool. She didn't answer a single question last night. it was just more bushwhacking. mccain/palin = bush/bush w/ brain injury + 4 more years.
