Using CNN as her forum is a great opportunity for her. But she hasn't earned it. I won't watch this nonsense any more. Until she sits down to talk with reporters from CNN, she shouldn't be heard on CNN. Stop being used. If Palin won't give an interview, why is CNN giving her any air time?

As a former Hillary Clinton supporter, I got disgusted with her negative attacks and nasty campaign during the primaries. After getting to know Obama through debates, I was amazed with his intelligence and his very civilized campaign. I became an Obama supporter, although I could not vote. The little experience is not a negative aspect for me at all as I believe he knows the issues well and he is brilliant. McCain has experience but for what? For making bad judgements, for going to Iraq for oil causing so many American soldiers and hundreds or thousands of Iraqi women and children to die. All those years of experience means nothing to me with this kind of politics. It's a waste and he hasn't learned much from it. McCain and his incompetent VP choice have been running a very nasty campaign. Just for the sake of winning. They dream, because Obama will win this election. Plus, I do not believe McCain knows foreign policy well. He has made some major mistakes; i.e. he could not tell the difference between the sunnis and shiites. I really do not think he has any clue about the culture or the people in Iraq. He is 72 years old and I cannot put my future in this country in the hand of a 72 year old who has had cancer numerous times. Especially now after his VP choice. His VP candidate selection showed us how selfish he is. This woman has no clue about anything. Regular people know more than she does! She keeps blaming the media, but no one in the right mind will believe what she's trying to pull after seeing her interviews. For those brainwashed people who keep praising her, I feel sorry for you for not being able to see the truth and the reality.

I have spent some time in the Middle East, we as service members fight for our country, but more importantly we fight for each other, our brothers and sisters on our left and right. All this we do to get home to our families and so they can get home to theirs in one piece. I was fortunate enough to finally get home to mine but I know there are many more who want the same. Obama seems to have touch with all of us as service members and regular families, John "Maverick" McCain seems to lose himself in the amounting dollars wasted and rising death toll of our service men and women. His running mate as well needs to come down from her enchanted tower and really take a look around. America needs change, a new face, and a fresh start. This Republican ticket doesn't represent that. Any true patriot can see that, war hero, average man, the young and old. America and the world are ready for a new era.

That shows his "America First" slogan is a complete lie. McCain's judgment is TERRIBLE. He got the Iraq War totally wrong before it started and Obama was totally right. Now McCain didn't even select a VP who he can trust to answer reporter's questions. That shows his "America First" slogan is a complete lie.

Don't say 'Why doesn't Obama stay home", because his daughters would feel uncomfortable talking to him about girlie subjects. It's not about what women want dummies, it's what children need.

Its funny how every time a bush is there our economy goes under. SO even if Obama does nothing can it really be worse than a Bush administration?

I wonder why senator Mc Cain keeps making mistake. He should spend time reading the polls and the criticism that people wrote about Sarah. Everytime this Sarah Palin talks, I cannot stop laughing. I wonder why there are some people still listen to a person whom could not even name the news paper she reads? She keeps saying that she wants to talk straight to the American people because by doing that, she can just recite whatever she they told her to. Should we trust and out our economy into the hands of the lady whom could not even name a news paper? I am talking about a governor here, not a kindergarten who does not know how to read. Even my son, a 6th grader, was laughing when he listened to Sarah Palin's answer about the newspaper. Obama and Mc Cain in dead heat in N. Carolina and Mc Cain sent Sarah Palin there?

I was born and raised in North Carolina and I'm currently a student at uncc. I can honestly say that the new, young voter turnout is gong to be amazing. There's a sense of excitement among my campus, and also many other NC colleges I've visited recently. While I can't speak for all in my age group, I truly believe Obama/Biden is what the country needs and I think everyone is going to be surprised at the turnout of young voters here in NC (and across the u.s.!). I think NC is still considered a "red" state here, but if all the new voters turn out like I think they will, Obama/Biden definitely have a shot at taking NC. Not only young voters are turning toward Obama either. I've spoken to a lot North Carolinians who normally vote Republican, who are starting to lean obama. North Carolina (and America) is starting to see what ticket is truly the best for us right now--Obama/Biden. This is my first presidential election, because I just turned 20 this year.

Palin came into this election and is making a mockery of the electoral process. At this point I think that Tina Fay from Saturday Night Live would make a better vice president than Palin. She needs to learn how to keep her mouth shut and stop trying to smear Obama. The more she opens her mouth, the more everyone is starting to realize what a joke she really is. Everything that comes out of her mouth is ridiculous. I have to stop and wonder if she really believes her own lies. She should be focusing on the economy and her pregnant daughter but instead she is focusing on smearing Obama. I guess that is because she has no clue as to what is really going on in the world. I am sad to say that because of Palin, I will be voting for a democrat for the first time in my life.
