Palin campaigned in Ohio Thursday (AP PHOTO)

TROY, Ohio (CNN) - – Sarah Palin on Thursday warned Ohioans that the Democratic ticket will "invite dangerous international crisis" if elected and gleefully mocked Barack Obama for dismissing his running mate Joe Biden as being prone to "rhetorical flourishes."

At a press conference in Virginia on Wednesday, Obama made the comment while defending Biden for saying at a fundraiser, "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy" - a statement the McCain campaign has seized on to highlight Obama's relative lack of national security experience.

Palin asserted that yesterday's "hastily" assembled press conference in Richmond, in which the Democratic nominee was flanked by 15 of his top national security advisers, should remind voters of "how Obama handles trouble."

"Here his own running mate has just warned America - and it's not the first time - he warned us throughout the primaries that Barack was not ready to be president," Palin said. "He reminded them that the election of Barack Obama will invite dangerous international crisis because he is untested. And Barack just brushes it off as rhetorical flourish."

"I question dismissing Joe Biden's moment of truth-telling as nothing more than a social embarrassment," she pressed on. "Sen. Obama's own running mate, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has informed us that a serious international crisis is certain if Obama is elected and that he is not ready to deal with it."

In fact, Biden did not say Obama "is not ready" to handle a national security crisis, but rather that Obama will need his supporters to stand with him as tough decisions are made.

Rounding out her criticism of Obama, Palin pledged that McCain has the experience to keep America safe.

"Now at least Joe and I have found some common ground, finally," she said. "We found common ground because I too want a president who's been tested. What I want is a president who spent 22 years in uniform defending our country."

Oh Pleeeeze! This coming from a bimbo who doesn't understand the role of the vice president? Alaska voter's should be ashamed. I know I am. The rest of the world understands the United States very well now.

HAWK, TEXAS   October 23rd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Sarah, there allready is a crisis. and you are it. why don't you go back to alaska and take john and all the republicans with you. then you can have your own little nation. we would have canada between us because what would be left in america would be true americans.

J J   October 23rd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

I guess if Obama gets elected its good in one way, we had to have Carter to get Reagan.

EBJ   October 23rd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

I have three words for Gov Pallin.............PLEASE SHUT UP!!! and notice I DID say please.

kevin   October 23rd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Does she every talk about any issues?

Jim D   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Yeah, so coming from someone as stupid as Sarah Palin, it's not like this carries any weight whatsoever.

Dereke   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Who is more like George W Bush?! McCain echoing Bush, or Palin making verbal gaffes a.l.a. Bush?!

Mikki, Washington, DC   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I believe that the "Be Afraid; Be Very Afraid" card was played in the 2004 re-election and many people fell for the hype. I don't think that people are going to fall for it this time. This line will only work with people who have already made up their mind to vote for McCain and just another reason to justify their decision.

tulsa   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Fear and smear.
No ideas,
No positives in any way.
The Republican party just doesn't get it. We are tired of politics as usual.
We are tired of attack dogs.
We are tired of the religious right wing fascist nut jobs and their "permenant Republican majority".
Go home

David, Silver Spring, MD   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Sounds like Spooky Sarah is starting early on Halloween. "Be afraid, kiddies, be afraid!"

common sense   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

If the question is if obama can handle a crisis,we need to look at what he has said. Which is this=he will counsil with biden,powell,other people in hes cabinet then make a decision.Rushing to judment with out looking at the stiuation can cause a war that we cannot or sould not fight.

54-year-old-white-female w/5 kids for Obama   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I wish she would just shut up! I can't stand her voice or the words that come out of her mouth. Miami

Maddie, Hartford, Ct.   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Why are Sara Palin's children not in school? It appears obvious that this VP candidate puts great emphasis on education.

Trollmaster   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Palin is really saying that the terrorists should dictate how we vote.

And what kind of president will Palin make? She doesn't even know the difference between Al Quida and Al Sharpton.

Lawrence Usher   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Palin, you are so retarded, it is not funny!!! The terrorists would be licking their chops if you were in command. Palin's supporters are losers!!! Sorry, did I just say that?

OyAgain   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Hey, why aren't those Palin kids in school? Or are we paying for on the road tutors?

Dionne   October 23rd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Whew! The stench of desperation is overwhelming!! No way, no how, No McCain/Palin! Go Obama-Biden!

Frank   October 23rd, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Gov. Palin, keep a close eye on Ohio, and watch it turn Blue. Lies no longer work the the Real Americans! It's easy to spot the Real Americans, they're the ones Not at your rally! Real Americans can read, use computers and see all the way through each and every one of your Lies. Can you spell L A N D S L I D E?

Wil in California   October 23rd, 2008 4:42 pm ET

All these lies and Sarah calls herself a Christian. It's shameful. I guess she doesn't agree with God's Commandments: Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. She's a false Christian.

Gerry in Va. for Obama.   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

WOW!!!!! Sarah must see her wardrobe budget flying out the window. Sarah, you shouldn't let them talk you into saying more spookie things to change our minds... It won't help...

I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.....

WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR JOHN MC CAIN TO TELL YOU ABOUT A GROUP CALLED .... BILDERBERGS OR

IF HE WON'T SHARE THAT WITH YOU,

HOW ABOUT HIM READING YOU A BEDTIME STORY ABOUT "PNAC" .

I KNOW THAT ONE IS ONE OF HIS FAVORITES AND THE STORY LINE WILL GIVE YOU SUCH A FRIGHT YOU WILL BE READY TO GO BACK TO ALASKA AND HIDE IN THE MOUNTAINS......

OH AND WHILE YOUR AT IT.... ASK HIM WHO ROBERT KAGAN IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR JOHN MC CAIN......

Jackie   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Does this lunatic have one original thought?!! Now if Biden had not have uttered those words, poor thing would not have anything to talk about except what she has been fed. Do you see excerpts from the interview that she and McCain did with Brian Williams. Shameful!! I definitely looking forward to Nov. 4. Go Obama/Biden!

JR   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Lord, do they have no shame? Whip up the yahoos any way you can: Fear, smears, lies, stoking racism, shouting "fraud", misquoting, having Rudy send out lying robocalls. In the case of the Republican Party, The Base" are well named. They seem to be just that.

Michael M, Phoenix AZ   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

To add to my last remark......Palin says she wants someone who has spent 22 years defending his country...that is all well and good, but that is what he did.....he defended, he did not make the decisions to use armed force. Would McCain have gone to war with Viet Nam like LBJ did due to bad intelligence there also?

Greg Smith, Clifton Heights PA   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

All those Obamamanics who are commenting today you mirror the Democatic Party a bunch of hateful idiots.

Beth   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Right...because all of us "Obama people" are out there carving initials into someone's face.

Typical repug to take something like this and SPIN it. Obviously if you had a brain in your head, you'd realize this was a very unfortunate incident, and the person who committed the crime should be caught and punished. NOT because he was mad about her McCain bumper sticker, but because he's a criminal.

Do you really think in your pea-brained head that the Democrats were behind this? Give me a break. Repugs are sick sick sick!!!

McHoover Will Destroy What is Left of America   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

This is coming from a woman that hasn't put a coherent sentence together yet.

Sarah, when you are able to put together a complete paragraph let us know.

I am counting the days for this religulous nutcase to disappear to the north.

S   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Give me a break!! Non of them are experienced at running the white house.

And it can't get any worse than it already is...

Wonder what those staunch repubs think about that cake baking in the over of the un

Montana Bob   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Palin will never make a "rhetorical flourish" as she doesn't have the vocalibary. MCcain and Biden will never seek advice on anything as they both think they know it all but are amazingly uninformed.We wouldn't have to worry about them serving a full term as there would be a second revolution in one years time with them running the country.

Good lord....   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Your base gets it already.....Obama bad. You so good.

Now let the rest of us have some peace and quiet from your sheer ignorance you stupid, stupid woman!

Citizen Watch   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Why are you not asking about how Obama is handling not being around his young children? Every time an Obama liberal raises such a criticism against Palin, the hypocrisy is thick-solid.

I would also like to know how much the Dems have spent on the wardrobes for their canidates, including Michelle Obama. This would never be newsworthy if only men were part of the campaign.

The only candidate who has shown any confidence in a woman to lead the country is McCain. Call it politcs if you want, but is that not the name of the presidential game?

Codeazrael   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

For a vp nominee who has had less interviews than Joe the (unlicensed) plumber, Sarah Palin sure does talk a tough game, when she doesn't have to worry about Katie or Charlie being near.

Charles of Georgia   October 23rd, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Scare strategy again? Where is Bin Laden after these years, and this need to have a closure. After invading Iraq, do you think the world is safer? The war on terror is a mess, the econmy is a mess, and we have 10+ trillions debt – half of that is contributed by current republican president. We're the leader of the world, the whole world is suffering if we have trouble in our econmy. Wake up GOP, this is 21st century. You're so out of touched, and that is the reason great majority of young people leaning toward Democratic party now. BTW, United States has adopted many socialism idea – including social security, medicare/medicaid, unemployee insurance, Union, etc. Socialism and capitalism have evolved in 20th century. Why these arguments are still showing on 21st century?

Bob the former republican   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

McCain said "They will not test me". Ya Right! That is the surest invitation there is for some nut to try something.

Daryl from Seattle   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Perfect Halloween entertainment Governor Palin!

Pumpkins adorning the front of the stage...

Supporters shouting obscenities, untruths, and violent cries...

You, with that obnoxious little voice, dressed in $3,000 garments....

Telling us all that an Obama presidency is what we should fear....

But the twist is that McCain ALREADY said we have nothing to fear of an Obama presidency and that he is a decent, good man. Nice try......NEXT!

Michael   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

What Palin says is irrefutably true.

Sheryl Preston   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

I think Joe Binden is more of a liability to Obama then Palin is to McCain.
I do think that putting fear into the campaign is wrong. I'm not going to vote for someone out of fear. Obama does have a lot to learn. If he wins
will get a crash course on how to deal with rogue nations.

jm for sc   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

This is what happens when you are out of time, out of ideas and out of touch. Obama will be the best president ever.

tzzzz   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

She has nothing else to say at her rallys! She need to get educated first on what the vp job is and then comment on the next person.

Brenda in Fl   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

NOT TRUE!. NOT what Biden said. I watch Macain and see a desperate man and Ice princess Cindy has stopped smiling.

But, mark my words, it wont be over come Nov 4th. There will be hanky panky and dirty work at the polls to hand it to Macain. Just watch.

MEP   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

She will do very her best to try to create it. Racism is working well for her, too. See how well Sarah does in the polls!!! There ! Those are two big two-syllable words she now knows!

Sue,

OH you mean like the look mccain had when the financial crisis hit, didn't know which way he was going, to debate or not to debate, to suspend the campaign or not to suspend, bailout or no bailout, you mean that look?

Matt from Illinois   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

You can't play the fear card like it was done in 2004. People can see through the lies. But don't stop, please keep talking. Its like Every day is "Saturday Night Live"

Gina in Racine Wi   October 23rd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

In 12 days Palin can go back to Alaska (and stay there) and McCain can scratch his head and wonder why all his lies and distortions.....in his fear and smear Campaign, didn't work.

Palin and McCain are already dividing our Country and the Voters....

The "real Virginia"

the American's who love America vs. the people that hate America.

McCain could have picked Michael Savage, Bill O'reilley or Sean Hannity as his VP pick and gotten the same hateful results (and the RNC wouldn't have had to spend over $150,000 on clothes for them).

Obama is winning because he sees what the Voter's want and has the vision, the diplomacy, the inteeligence and the drive to make it happen.

Sarah Palin does not think, investigate or consider. She knows. Because God tells her. That should scare the bejesus out of anyone.

every smear has failed.. now it is fear time.

I wonder if they have so much school vacation in Alaska or if her children already droped from school? The older one and her boyfriend did it already.

onelove   October 23rd, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Gov Palin, can you ask John McCain about the black McCains? Did you know that his family owned slaves in Mississippi? I would like to know why Sen. McCain does not acknowledge the family as his brother and a host of other family members do.

Get back to me on this.

Thanks

If the doom and gloom predictions by the McCain campaign and Gov.

PLEASE! Enough with the fear tactics! America, please don't get fooled again! John McCain you say you are not Bush, so stop using the same tactics that Bush used in 2000 and 2004. Why don’t you try and tell us what you will do as President with some substance behind it instead of vote for me and you will be fine vote for him and the world will come to an end!

prairieguy   October 23rd, 2008 4:39 pm ET

I guess Palin hasn't learned how to read complete statements or she would know she is full of BS stating what she did.

Please send her back to Alaska...but make those $150,000 clothes are really donated to charity first as she may try to steal them!!!!!

California Voter   October 23rd, 2008 4:39 pm ET

"Caribou Barbie" whether this comment comes from a man or a woman it's sexist and offensive. It's just as bad as making a big deal about Palin's clothing. Personally, I'd like to know 1) how many white shirts Obama owns, how much they cost and how often does he change shirts during the campaign day! Now if you think that is silly let's forget about Palin's redo and focus on the issues and character of those running and not their wardrobe! Then decide who to vote for!

12 more days... 12 more days. Then we no longer have to hear this non-sense.

Neither has a shread of reputation left.

I think Obama will keep a clear head in a crisis and that McCain will more likely act recklessly. I don't expect Obama to "invite danger". He just seems too stable for any such thing and he'll send a clear strong message to those oposed to the US to watch their step. On the other hand, I think Palin would be in HUGE trouble as president – just trying to figure out what her job was.

travis   October 23rd, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Gosh Sarah, if you become President, I wonder if any international thugs will challenge someone whose foreign policy experience is limited to seeing Russia from her house.

CAROL from greensboro, nc   October 23rd, 2008 4:38 pm ET

and this from a woman who wants to be vice-president who can't even define the responsibilities of the office nor does she have a clue as to what the definition is for a pre-condition. anyone who votes for mccain-palin deserves to be exiled to alaska with those two.

Robert   October 23rd, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Obama will invite danger? I think CNN should report on the AP story of how an al-qaeda linked website is endorsing John McCain for president...

Tired of W, OH   October 23rd, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I can't wait until this "lady" goes back to Alaska. My wife literally cringes anytime Palin starts to speak, like someone is scraping their fingernails on a chalk board. The first instict is usually to lunge for the remote control to hit the mute button. The thought of Palin giving a State of the Union speech terrifies me.

Doug R.   October 23rd, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Palin is a cluless rambling idiot. She has no idea what sees talking about. She is a disgrace and a liar. She is ignorant and dysfunctional.
McCains service in VietNam was dropping bombs on civilians. After he was shot down and captured, he 'sang' to his captors and denounced the U.S.administration and its involvement in the VietNam.

carly   October 23rd, 2008 4:38 pm ET

SO BY TELLING OUR ENEMIES THAT THEY WILL NOT TEST HIM McCAIN IS NOT INVITING DANGER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REPUBLICIANS HAVE BEEN SMOKING BUT WHEN YOU DARE SOMEONE TO A FIGHT THEY USUALLY COME WITH EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT.

No Way for McCain/Palin Ticket   October 23rd, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Sarah Palin is indeed inviting danger...she and Todd are members of the Alaska Independent Party, seeking secession from the USA and having a witch doctor to conduct voodoism at her church in Wasilla to drive the evil demons out of Sarah. If that isn't Whacko..what is it then. Can you imagine how she's going to have Todd and Witch Doctor making all the decisions for her if something happens to old man McCain. Please think about this seriously!!!!

Todd Palin was not a government official but sat in all the government meetings and many times ran and made all the decisions in the governor's office instead of Sarah Palin!!!

Sarah, Todd, and the Witch Doctor would pose a real threat to the future of America. I definitely will not vote for McCain/Palin ticket!

JFK   October 23rd, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Why is the McCain/Palin campaign can not talk about issues? Its always a message of fear and attack. That is not what our country needs now.

It's no secret that the terrorist want McCain to win this way they can keep recuiting more people for their so called cause. Besides he was already tested. He new that going into Iraqi was wrong from the beginning and that we should have went after Bin Ladin instead who now has more followers then before. With all of the so called experience voting you would think the majority would have voted NO.

What's our alternative? You? Miss I can see Russia, it's practically in my backyard. When the Russians carry out their missions they fly, over Alaska. Miss I didn't even get informed by my own appointed energy chief and Lt. Governor when 8 Russian Delegates came to Alaska two Mondays ago for a meeting on Energy in your state, WITHOUT YOU. What does that say about your standing on foreign policy in your own state or abroad. Puhlease! go away, you've insulted us long enough.

Someone please tell this lady to shut up. All we hear is Obama this ...Obama that. I have a suggestion for the McCain campaign, how about a creative idea to help fix the economy instead of attacking Obama all the time. I believe that McCain would admit that he made a mistake choosing Caribou Barbie on the penultimate eve of the election.

Seems to me that the Republican Party is getting REALLY desperate. Most of their arguments are "a whole lotta feathers, and not much chicken." The longer this goes on, the less substance there seems to be.

Michael M, Phoenix AZ   October 23rd, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Gee, You would rather have McCain's finger on the trigger then? McCain says he has been tested....ok, I'll give him his combat role in Nam and as a POW, but as for the Cuban Missle Crisis? He sat in a jet on a carrier waiting to "go" and then to do just what he has been trained to do. No thinking on his part. Just do it.

Scenario: What if McCain gets elected and we then have an international incident come up that may or may not lead to armed conflict, but is not aimed at the US, but the intel reports don't give a clear picture? Will McCain then use the premptive precident sent by Bush? If he does and he is wrong what do you could happen?

To all of the enlightened Republicans out there:

John McCain is DANGEROUS. He wants to eliminate taxes and get rid of government. He's an ANARCHIST!

John McCain doesn't believe in America. His running mate said that we can't afford to face an international crisis. My friends, true Americans like you and me know that we can handle tests and America doesn't have to run and hide.

Do you see how stupid this is?

Fear and lies are all the McCain/Palin camp have left.

What is so fundamentally WRONG about talking with our enemies? Isn't that called DIPLOMACY?

Is the McCain doctrine of "shoot first, keep shooting, then spend 100 years and trillions of taxpayer dolllars entrenched in a country" a better alternative to diplomacy?

Please America!!! For the love of your children, do not flush the country down the GOP toilet with a vote for these 2 idiots!!!!

Go Obama/Biden!!

Doug in New Mexico   October 23rd, 2008 4:36 pm ET

And just what does Palin know about anything beside getting perks to take her children everywhere and getting a 100,000 dollar wardrobe? She doesn't even appear to know about the constitution. She probably doesn't know the history of the Shia and the Sunni. It was evident that she had not knowledge of Russia. What gives her the right to criticize anyone. The woman may be smart but she is ignorant especially of world affairs. There is more to being the VP or President than just following the party line especially when it is so negative.

GET LOST FOREVER!

Well we know she doesn't read the newspaper, so I guess she hasn't heard that Obama is already being hailed around the world as the great uniter. Did the rethuglicans already forget Germany. Those people didn't come because they think Obama was a danger, those people came because Obama is the first JFK like politician in 40 years. They see him as being a great leader and uniting the world peaceably. IDIOT!!

Interesting. When one person allegedly shouted out "kill him " when Obama was mentioned at a McCain rally,an allegation that was proven to be false, it elicited four columns in the New York Times alone about McCain inciting hate. It was the subject of the lead story on every network news and was widely reported throughout the country.

Now an Obama supporter (also a thief) apparently attacked a McCain suppoter in Pittsburgh and carved a "B" into her face, and not a word from you CNN Obamanites.

Lisa   October 23rd, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Sarah here you go with more lies and attacks. You better acknowledge the fact that Mccain has Black ancestors. If you dont think this is true go to yahoo news in the polictics section there. There is a short video about it. And one of the biological distant relative says she is voting for Obama. Just do some more attacking and Obama will gain some more points. You better Get Cindy out there to compaign for you she also doesnt claim her relatives either and they are white.

julie   October 23rd, 2008 4:36 pm ET

McCain already invited crisis when he chose Palin.

Seriously?   October 23rd, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Seriously, CNN, please stop reguratating every single ridiculous thing this woman says. She's an idiot and a vicious one at that. Stop giving her a platform to spew her stupidity and hatefulness. Enough already.

Carol of New York   October 23rd, 2008 4:36 pm ET

All this rabble-rouser can do is appeal to people's fear in order to get votes. It is less than two weeks before election day so Pitbull Palin is getting uglier on her attacks of Obama. All I can say is God help this country if McCain is elected with someone like Palin sitting a heartbeat away.

georgia for Obama   October 23rd, 2008 4:36 pm ET

I think it's very appalling (yet sad in some ways ) that these two candidates, in their desperation & lack of an intelligent ,honest campaign feel it's moral & christian to sink to the depths of deception to satisfy their fragile egos. They also repeatedly insult the intelligence & integrity of the majority of citizens of our great country.
Their messages tell me neither of them is ready for the leadership this country & it's melting pot of wonderful citizens deserve.

But there is hope! We don't have to be scared. Sleep well at night, vote for this guy who in no way looks like a dead guy, or a scary ghost, or just plain creepy. Vote for this guy McCain and this fabricated nightmare will all go away. After all, we're Mavericks!!!!!"

R   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Produce evidence that John McCain has been "tested" by terrorist actions. When all else fails in the McCain's campaign just scare the heck out of ignorant people and tell them to be sure to select McCain/Palin on their ballot. You might want to take time to give them directions to the voting location and walk them up to the voting booth then finally clap your hands in praise much like you do with a 2-year old.

Robbin   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Josh in North Carolina   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Palin's wants to be more than vice president; she wants legislative power. Sarah Palin would be more dangerous than Cheney as vice president because she’s corrupt and doesn’t know what she is doing.

CPA in Nebraska   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

...and if she happens to become President, the world won't test her?! More stupid campaign retoric from someone totally unqualified to be in a leadership position.

Ro   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I'm sorry, I just can't see Mrs. Palin as a commanding authoritative figure on the world political stage. She looks like a house wife(nothing wrong with that) and she does not come accross as very astute to world events. I want to know if she was running for President would people vote for her? I think she maybe ready in a few years but right now I am doubtful. But again I am Canadian!

Mikey   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

For some inexplicable reason, Joe Biden entered the realm of speculation regarding foreign affairs during an Obama Presidency.

Palin is, as usual, mischaracterizing Biden's words and meaning and actually lying about what he said. Biden said that a President Obama WOULD be prepared to handle any emergency that might arise in the event someone tried to "test his mettle."

What would be truly scary, would be a President Palin – totally unqualified and not all that bright – all cutesy winks and empty bluster. Most troubling is that she seems to have absolutely no idea just how clueless she is. She responds with supreme confidence to questions with answers that demonstrate her ignorance and incompetence without the least hint that she is aware of her total inadequacy. This is very disturbing.

j in mich   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Kristen   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Sarah Palin should be ashamed of herself for continuing to scare the American people into another attack that we had, such as 9/11 if Obama is elected President. She is twisting comments any way she can just to get to the top, no matter what the costs just like McCain has done through his campaign. What Sarah Palin is forgetting to mention is that the majority of other countries would prefer Obama be elected over McCain.

Yes We can! Obama/Biden 08

Pat   October 23rd, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Finally!!!!!! We are making Obama's lack of experience an issue.

The media has done a great job of making this look like a Palin/Obama race, because when it comes to experience they are closer, even though Palin has more.

However, if you put Obama's experience up against McCain's....it's not even close. McCain is much more qualified for the position.

What will truly invite danger is not calm, collected, thoughtful Obama, but a vice president who still doesn't know the role of that office in the Constitution, knows little of the world around here and runs her mouth without thinking beforehand - none other than Sarah Palin herself.

Sarah, it'll be okay, you won't have to put up with us non pro american folks much longer. It's almost over. Hang in there, and try to speak of love, peace, faith, Charity and hope, like good Christians do. Oh, I forgot most of the good non judgemental christians are supporting Obama. Thanks for ruining the republican party, maybe we'll get that reform and change you and mccain wants.

Pete   October 23rd, 2008 4:34 pm ET

"In fact, Biden did not say Obama "is not ready" to handle a national security crisis, but rather that Obama will need his supporters to stand with him as tough decisions are made."

Thanks, but I'm not as stupid as most of your readers and don't need help with the interpretation of what Biden said. He did say that Obama was not ready, that what he would do would not be apparently correct, and that he would need help from others. He also said it during the primaries. So go do a fact check, and then claim it is misleading.

Nice try.

GOBama   October 23rd, 2008 4:34 pm ET

It is going to feel so good watching McCain and Palin give their concession speech and watch Palin, especially, fade away. Good riddance, I say. The world is now dumber having listened to her these past few months.

Jude   October 23rd, 2008 4:34 pm ET

PUT a sock in it....Danger is already all around us every which direction. The real question is: Who can best handle that danger?

From the Financial crisis and how they have handle themselves, Obama has shown his steady, cool demeanor while McCain has been all over the place and erractic.

WE KNOW OBAMA IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT. MCCAIN IS READY TO RETIRE AND PALIN IS READY TO GO BACK TO ALASKA WHERE SHE BELONGS.

McBush spent 22 years in military uniform crashing our planes! NOT in the service of our country, but, rather, in the service of John McCain's ambition and libido.

Even the plane that was shot down (not counted as crashed) over Vietnam – McCain says that he knew he should have rolled out and broke contact with the rocket but he decided not to – he needed that war record to further his ambition. A decision on par with choosing McTwit for a running mate.

joseph from Georgia   October 23rd, 2008 4:33 pm ET

wakeupamerica   October 23rd, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Get your facts straight Sarah. That's not what Joe Biden said. But then again, all you do is twist the truth around. You're such a reformer (oops – I meant thief – stealing from your own state, stealing your new clothes from the RNC, abusing power). Jeez and you think the real American people want you on their side. Who is the elitist? I think your picture is in the dictionary next to the word. Go back to Alaska and let the lower 48 forget all about you and Papa John McCain and the dishonorable, despicable campaign you've run. Oh, one more thing God don't like ugly. You claim to be a Christian but Christian's don't behave like you and Papa John.

No, I think she is confused. Kind of like when she grants an interview. She attempts to answer the questions, loses her train of thought, and mutters a sentence to nowhere. What she means is that she would invite danger if McCain were elected and then became incapacitated while in office, and then she had to take over the office of President.

NO. HE WILL STAY AWAY FROM YOU PALIN..

Only one thing to say Shut Up

Deb   October 23rd, 2008 4:32 pm ET

I will only feel danger if a 72 year old man wins the White House and his replacement is named Sara Palin. That America is a very scary thought...the epitomy of danger!

DeMj   October 23rd, 2008 4:32 pm ET

How can you already be test if you haven't been the president of the USA?

lil   October 23rd, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Palin, what are you talking about?

Nick in Ohio   October 23rd, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Thanks for the fear-mongering!

WE LOVE MCCAIN   October 23rd, 2008 4:32 pm ET

It was Biden, not Palin , yeah that's the one who made the statement.
Do you cretins follow the news or you just make them up as you go along.
If Joe Biden keeps opening his stupid mouth, They will loose

!!!!! OBAMANUTS NO YOU CAN'T !!!!!

Athiest   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

And America is afraid of an athiest. This woman scares the hell out of me and I don't even believe in hell. Christian evengelicals are the most morally inept people on the planet. They will lie, hate, and hurt anyone who doesn't think like they do. Watch out, their coming for you America. Be scared, be very scared.

Kevin   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

JUST PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND IMAGINE SARAH PALIN DELIVERING THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

The Stallion & The Champ vs. The Old Mule and Winky Half-baked Alaska   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Sarah, dear:

Keep your ignorant, filthy Cindy McCain role model trap shut. The office you are running for requires more than a single amoebic brain cell, a moral conscience and a shred of integrity and decency. Unfortunately, Little Miss Ice Chip, you've failed abysmally on all counts. Thanks for all the gimmicksand gewgaws though and try when you become part of the real, pro-American human race.

tim   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

"In fact, Biden did not say Obama "is not ready" to handle a national security crisis, but rather that Obama will need his supporters to stand with him as tough decisions are made."

Thanks, but I'm not as stupid as most of your readers and don't need help with the interpretation of what Biden said. He did say that Obama was not ready, that what he would do would not be apparently correct, and that he would need help from others. He also said it during the primaries. So go do a fact check, and then claim it is misleading.

Nice try.

Devon Spencer   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Does she ever talk about issues?

A-Man   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Which religion does she belong to that promotes doing anything for money and lieing as much as possible. Also to hate other people and talk bad of them, and ignore your family. Strange religion shhe belongs to, is this the same one that the religious people that are supporting her belong to?

Bruce Taylor, Berkeley, CA   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Sarah Palin IS a crisis! She isn't even ready to be the Governor of Alaska, let alone Vice President or ( God forbid) President!

Cynthia; Bham   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

If the McCain/Palin ticket were to win – you talk about inviting danger to the country. One is a hot head who is itching for a fight (and any foreign country will do) and one who doesn't know from one debate to an interview a few weeks later what the job of the VP is. Now, this would be inviting danger.

Emily   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Why doesn't this ignorant, devisive woman just go home. SHE is the worst thing that could happen to our country. All she does is spawn hate with her information.

NANCY FROM MONTANA   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Not convincing, and I would much much much rather have Obama in office if there is an event than you and McCain. You two are the dangerous ones, you mavericks.

MONTANAN FOR OBAMA

BIG SKY COUNTRY TURNING BLUE!!!!

Rob   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Invite? Heck, Barry will throw a welcoming party. Then after we get attacked, he'd somehow manage to find a way to blame Bush and the rich (well, those who are rich but do not bow at his feet ala Oprah and the Hoolywood elite), and then raise taxes even more on those making over 40,000 a year.

The mindless drones who support Obama are too brainwashed to listen to reason. Hopefully enough decent minded hard-working Americans will send this no talent hack back to his Reszko built slums on November 5th.

McCain has Joe the Plumber, Obama has Joe the Dork.

12 days and we won't have to listen to the False Prophet spreading his lies (and you fools believing them).

Obama/Biden '08   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

It was a pleasure to vote for Obama yesterday. He is going to be a great president because he has the judgement to make wise decisions and has a competent team – including Joe Biden! God bless America.

Excuse me, but why is she dragging those kids all over the campaign trail with her? Shouldn't they be in - you know - SCHOOL? Oh I forgot, Gov. Lipstick doesn't believe in school. I suppose she and Lovely Todd are "home schooling" them.

Woman Against Palin   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

And if McSame dies in office, like she would be ready to lead this country – please – this country would be doomed. And when was McSame tested? When was the last time he was President? Being in uniform for 22 years gives you experience. How many planes did he crash? How much experience did Bush have? This is just getting ridiculous.

Stop the insanity – VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN

Tony   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

McCain could have run on experience. Too bad he chose Governor Palin and completely negated the entire argument.

Jan   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

I am sorry, why would I want to vote for a man who will draw fire? I heard Joe Biden and I know exactly what he said and it is further proof that we do not need Obama in office.

PS Biden was not comparing Obama to all presidents, just one, and we would be tested because we will be so vulnerable with Obama as president.

Jinny Lee   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS CURRENTLY EMPLOYING SEVERAL TACTICS TO SUPPRESS DEMOCRATIC VOTERS IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE POSITIVE THAT YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED IS BY VOTING EARLY & IN PERSON AT THE POLLING STATIONS.

renu   October 23rd, 2008 4:31 pm ET

what is wrong in having a group of well established foreign advisors? I mean do you want one person flourishing a sword and jumping on the battlefield if there is an attack?I mean, this is not really the medieval times.We are beyond infantry & artillery.
She consistently proves that in addition to being allergic to intelligence and complexitites,she cannot even read.She would not have said that if she read Biden's statement....Can we divert her plane to Alaska today?

Jennie   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

The only crisis that will be for certain, is if the American people elect this joke of a woman to be our vice president. The McCain/ Palin ticket is dangerous, careless, and flat out ridiculous. Country first Senator McCain? Please.

Sarah Palin has a difficult time separating her personal life from her professional life. HOw come her kids and husband always tag alonging which the taxpayers of Alaska shoulder their expenses!

I just cringe everytime Sarah Palin is on tv and I just turn off the tv. I sure don't know what she's babbling stupidly about in that very irritating voice of hers! One thing is Sarah Palin doesn't know how to conduct herself in a very professional person if she's supposed to be a VP candidate. She absolutely doesn't have the poise, integrity, dignity, and pride as a VP candidate

Erik from Golden, CO   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

McCain invited more than just danger into the race by picking Caribou Barbie and her idiocy for his VP.

Jeremy - Columbus, OH   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Why are Palin's kids not in school? What a mother.

Jeremy   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Time for the old scare tactics. If you elect a Democrat, we'll get bombed again. It worked in 2004. It won't work in 2008.

Pathetic.

Kevin   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR MCCAIN AND PALIN CONCEDE IN THE WEEE HOURS OF THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 5TH!

Bob G.   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Didn't she drop out of the race yet to make room for a credible vice-persidential candidate? Poor John McCain- I know what you're thinking, but you can't dump her- she has to go by herself.

Casey   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

This is all starting to make me feel like crap. I'm starting to think that that's exactly what she wants. She wants the process to annoy so many people into not voting at all so they can try to win it with their base. Well, I may have to turn my TV and internet off, but I'll be there on the 4th. I just hope they have the decency to keep their comments to themselves after Obama is elected President.

rin   October 23rd, 2008 4:30 pm ET

somebody please shut her up!!!! as a matter of fact cnn stop doing tickers on her.... isnt there other news in ithe world???

Bruce   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Someone Please tell me...how has mcCain been tested?
I want to know how he has been tested , and what executive experience he has...
Has he been in charge of anything during a cirsis....?

Greg Smith, Clifton Heights PA   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Tell them Sarah ,Obama is dangerous. Democrats are clueless about running the country . Can't wait till you are Vice Prsident and fix this countries problems, the Democrats sure can't. YOU ARE THE GREATEST.

Winnie Hussein . . . in Montana   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

How, precisely, please tell me, I'm begging you, has John McCain been "tested"? He has never been the one man in charge of keeping the entire United States safe. He did no more on 9/11 then anyone else, and much less than many. If he is referring to his war time military service, I would like to point out that he failed miserably at that, all the way around. From his conduct on the USS Forrestal to his POW time, to his crashing of planes and careless flying. He failed miserably at being tested in his first marriage. Whatever "tests" this guy has been given, he has failed.

The point is that he has never been "tested" as the leader of our nation. No one can be until they are actually sitting at that desk in the oval office. I wish this old man and his attack dog would shut the he** up!

Victor   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

I want leaders to UNITE the nation not DIVIDE!

Have you looked at the polls lately? Its over Palin. You might as well start packing for Alaska because you certainly won't be welcome in the lower 48 after Nov. 4th.

Rushpublican for PALIN-mccain   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Wow, the Palin family sure looks sharp in those designer duds.
She'll be the best dressed vice president in history thanks to those good America "Joes" and "Jills" who gave their hard-earned money, so Sarah could look her best.

Dianne Bourbonnais, IL   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Sarah Palin also has a scary middle name. Sarah Boo Palin continues to use fear mongering to try to win votes. (Credit to Saturday Night Live's "Tim Calhoun")

John McCain has failed many tests these past eight years and in this campaign. His choice of a beauty queen who pretends to be one of us was a big "F" but his part in allowing us to go to war with a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 is an even bigger failure.

Sheri Edwards   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Barack is untested, but Palin is "tested"? Please! Besides, the last thing the "country first " candidates need to be doing is instilling fear in exchange for votes. It's spectacularly irresponsible, and a clear measure of just how desperate McCain is to be president. What a bitter, tired, old man he has become.

Janice Hough   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

So that's why McCain chose a woman with so much experience to be a 72 year old heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Morgan   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Wait...wasn't it Biden who said this. Wow, CNN got a headline wrong again...now that's odd

Kevin   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

I am not sure why they think military service is a requirment to be President. They always talk war and if you look at what has gone on during the last 30 years under Nixon and the Bush's it has been nothing but WAR. We could use the 10 Billion a month we are sending over there and paying defense contractors right here in this country for a change.

Mike in Columbus   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Palin = punchline

and nothing more...

Ren   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Don't her kids go to school?

proudly for Hillary, warming up to Obama   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Who is Sarah to talk about being ready to be President?

McCain could get a heart attack during his inagural parade, and it's President Palin.

Look at John Boehner standing glumly in the background- he's the Republican leader of Congress...and his caucus will be dragged down by the McCain-Palin disaster.

Georgia Voter   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

How can anyone vote for McCain/Palin? It would be such a HUGE risk. All they do is talk about Obama and you never hear what they're for, just what they're against. We don't know much of anything about what they would plan to do except them saying "tax cuts" as an answer to every problem. The biggest risk in this election by far is to vote for McCain/Palin, because we don't know what their plans are. Reminds me so much of when Bush was "elected" in 2000.

When shall you stop this deception!   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Shut up Sarah Palin, you are a pathalogical liar! By the way, why are Palin's children never in school? Should social services intervain to ensure that the childrens rights are not abused? What a rolemodel is Palins are exhibiting for the country! I guess their children are on official duty, so Alaska watch out for the next per deim bills from Palins'!

Ron   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

This woman is disgusting. Her extreme Christian views need to go back to Alaska.

Gini   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

No Sarah Palin you will bring crisis to the White House if you win. And because you are not prepared to even answer questions, what makes you think that you can be VP.

Terrell of Escondido Ca.   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Be tolerant people, This is just the last gasp and the last grasp at a non-existant straw. They are dead without having enough sense to lie down.

Sarah's grabbing at straws...it would be sad if it wasn't so much fun to watch...

Mike, MD   October 23rd, 2008 4:29 pm ET

This is all strategies Mccain/Palin try to use just to win the White House, American people will not faul for that this time. Mccain run the horrible campaign in history.

Kevin   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

NOT GOING TO WORK!

IF OBAMA INVITES DANGER THEN WHAT EXACTLY WILL YOU INVITE SARAH? A 3RD GRADERS UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR JOB AS VP?

OBAMA BRINGS DANGER TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. 8 SUCCESSFUL YEARS OF AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY WILL COMPLETELY END THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND INDEPENDANTS WILL TAKE THEIR PLACE.

Michelle   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Carla Ellis   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

The only danger I see facing our nation is the certainty of chaos if Sarah Palin is elected as VP – a candidate who doesn't even know her role as VP and the Senate???

Palin, please just shut up and go away.

Paula   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

How does she know? She can't explain what preconditions mean in interview with NBC, but she knows all this falsehoods about Barack. This woman is white welfare personified, if she were black and more qualified, she could never attain to this level. She is so unqualified for any professional job, let alone Veep. How did she get her job?!!!

Please ensure your vote is counted for Obama when you vote, already voting machines in West Virginia is switching Obama votes for McShame. It is not beneath these jokers to try to steal the election. Check your touch screen selections carefully.

This REPUBLICAN will vote DEMOCRATIC for the first time ever to send a CLEAR message to our party that it needs an overhaul, and I want rid of Sara Palin and the back room people; they will not be a part of a proud Republican future. I call on al fellow REPUBLICNAS to send a clear message and vote DEMOCRATIC.

Somebody PLEASE tell this woman to shut up and go back to shooting moose.

Between her wardrobe, ethical lapses, lack of understanding of the Constitution, and 3rd grade vocabulary, I cringe every time I hear her open her mouth. That McCain picked her as his running mate speaks volumes about his judgment, and I can't believe anyone with half a brain would vote for this ticket.

tim   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Great, you report it when Palin says it, but not when Biden says it.

She's right, as the Obama ticket has already acknowledged. The problem is that Obama is not ready for it, while McCain is.

But hey, keep living on hope and a prayer.

Peter from OH   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Will this woman ever give a real interview? I still don't know anything about her, except that she is an extreme right winger who probably wants to shift U.S. policies towards a theocracy.
And I am supposed to even consider voting for her?
The only thing she's apparently good at is being a firestarter for "her" Joe-sixpack crowds.
When will this woman give a long interview where she explains her views in details, on all issues that matter to the American people?

Independent for Obama   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Dan   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

She does NOT even know what her job would be if she was the VP, So how can she now predict the future? I think the big issue soon will be the investigation in Alaska we will se that she has been a very bad pit bull.

Victory in O. Yes, victory in Obama.

Bob Ray   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Why is consulting 15 gifted advisors a bad thing?

It is better for one person to make a hasty decision?

"W" is pretty good at making uninformed decisions too... That has worked out well.

Being in the military does not qualify you to be president. When will people realize that?

Praetorian, Ft. Myers   October 23rd, 2008 4:28 pm ET

When the challenge occurs (and statistically the challenges befall every new President) I would prefer a President who does not react in a "knee jerk fashion", but who takes a few minutes to consult experts like Joe Biden, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, his National Security Advisors–and then formulate a response.

We've had enough "knee-jerk" diplomacy.

Obama offers collabarative foreign policy, inclusion of experts, and an aversion to stagnate talks that result in unwielding policies that lead us to no other direction other than War.

McCain..could learn a lot from the Obama plan.

R   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

James Aten   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

This is such a lame tactic! Taking a soundbyte and twisting into something bad about Obama. It isn't really working, and the people who actually believe this REALLY need to seek professional help.

informed voter   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

There we go again. It almost feels like 4 years ago. "Vote for me or else..." .
Sounds like one of those chain emails I get that I promptly delete. Fear tactics may have worked last time Barbie...Not this time..not this year...Never again will you scare us americans into voting for you. Go crawl back into to that hole you crawled out of.

Bill Columbus OH   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Ever been to Troy? She is in her 'element'. What an idiot. I can't wait until after the election and she finds that her God was not on her side, like she had prayed for. The republican campaign is falling and falling fast. McCains first action would be to puch the Button.

Either man will be tested and tested quickly. Obama is the only one so far to show actual judgement through this campaign. McCain has only showed knee-jerk reactions that usually blow up in his face.

Commonwealth of VA   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

She needs to check herself before she makes stupid statements as she always does. Everything she's stated on the trail has had to be explained to the public. This woman is divisive and definitely not good for the country.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Betty the Beautician   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

McCain has been in Congress a long time and Obama has been in the senate for 2 years. So, who really represents change????? NOT McCain–he's changed nothing.

I'm way more scared of McCain inviting trouble than Obama. In fact, in his interview he said "they won't try me", which is just calling them out to do just that. Geeze.

And God forbid Palin is our President–America will be in deep dodo.

Sarah who?   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Is school not in session? Why does this woman continue to parade her kids around as prop? Unbelievable!! The McCain/Palin campaign is like a traveling circuis. Full of clowns.

Jeff   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Susan in SC   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Let this woman keep her wardrobe; she will need a souvenir from her time on the campaign trail after she returns home with her tail tucked in November.

By the way – do these Palin children not go to school? Or does supermom home school in her spare time?

Elisabeth   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Seriously. This has to stop. She is so divisive and hateful. She is a fear monger. I am scared of her and her positions. I am not afraid of Barack Obama. McCain would be tested as well (if he had a hope of winning) and his response to that test really frightens me.

Obama is ready. Joe did not say he isn't.

Will someone please put a muzzle on this woman's vile and vicious mouth. She is a disgrace to honesty, intgegrity, and dignity. She and mccain do deserve each other and I hope she flies her sorry butt home to alaska on the 5th after the RNC "donates the clothes to Charity". and takes her hate and prejudice with her. What a joke.

Nicole   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Why has the story about her 150,000 dollar shopping spree been put on the back burner?

Mary Beth Shemeluk   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

This woman would make Chubby Checker proud the way she "TWISTS" things around.
Please go back to Alaska and put your kids back in school so they can learn what the VP really does.

Lisa P   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

I'll pay attention to Palin's thoughts on experience only after she admits that she has none. Until then she's just talking smack and blowing smoke.

In the meantime I have to wonder just how much those very nice new clothes her family is wearing cost... Guess you knew a lot more about corruption than you let on, eh Sarah?

Until she can do real interviews, without parental guidance, she needs to just stick to their issues, which lately seems to change on a whim everyday.

Ken J   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Is it just me? Does any one else detect some "Joe the plumber" drabness in the Palin family hair styles and outfits today. Come on Todd....how about a little polish on those shoes. Is not "Sammy the shoe shiner" in your posse?

BLUE DOG DEM IN NC   October 23rd, 2008 4:27 pm ET

If there is a crisis in a Obama presidency, it is certianly comforting to know that Obama will have the well seasoned advice of a Joe Biden at his side. I am convinced that Gov. Palin would not be equally useful to this country in that role. Best wishes for her as Gov. of Alaska.

hometowndemocrat   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

I could eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a year and not be as sick of them as I am of this woman!

Jean   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

This is the kind of bad campaign slander, once again the republicans try to win on creating fear, that has made up my mind not to vote for McCain. Palin was a very bad choice and I could not take 4 years of this.

Chuck   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

the only danger here is Palin herself. who needs terrorists from abroad when you have terrorists at home. Palin need to shut her mouth. It is going to get worse folks. From all the early voting polls, Obama is leading by 20 points nationwide.

if you don't know what the vp how will you dare qualify to define experienced joe's words.instead of you telling people what you will do for them you are asking people to help you to be in white house,convince them about the basic things first not uncertainties that nobody knows whether it will ever happen

atlantan   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Palin doesn't want an untested president? What exactly is she? Yes, she's running for the VP, but with 72-year-old McCain, she is likely to be the one being tested by an international crisis.

Can anyone seriously see her negotiating with foreign heads of state? I mean, seriously?

And when will this "maverick reformer" talk about:

Paul Thompson   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Catherine   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Let the Palin is dumb and stupid and incompetent and unqualified and whatever other comments your small minds can come up with begin. But you cannot argue with a straight face that Biden and his foot-in-mouth disease are more qualified than Palin to VP.

Jewel - GA   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Palin and McCain have lost their minds in desperation. What in the world is she talking about? Maybe she's bipolar...

Farhana from Maple Grove, MN   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Is there any way we can fast forward the next 12 days so we dont have to listen to her taking things out of context? I am so tired of the all the potical games that McCain and Palin are playing.
America, please vote on November 4 and make the right choice that we need for this country.
Mr. Biden did not say Obama is not ready. Anyone who is elected president will be put in test during this troubling times of both financial and international crisises. No president of this great country was not "tested" during their time in the White House.

tim   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

What's this? More fear tactics? Wow Palin, just in time for Halloween. But come Nov 4th, it's just going to be tricks for you.

Beverly, NYC   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

I define inviting danger as electing a 72 years old ,cancer prone, war hawk with a power abusing, no ethics having, VP who isn't smarter that a 3rd grader. I'm sure after Bin Laden stops ROTFL, he will begin testing.

By the way Ms. Palin do your kids ever go to formal school? I haven't seen them with a book in hand once since you began this quest. How much are their tag alongs with mommy costing the campaign or the RNC?

Alicia   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

She is about as scary as it gets! Imagine her running the Senate. TeeHee. What a baffoon!

Coop182   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Clearly this woman is delusional.

The meeting was called two weeks ago, to account for the busy schedules of the participants.

More lies and smears we won't miss come November 5th.

I'm not going to miss her or McNasty.

Independent but Leaning   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Who cares if Obama wrecks the economy and invites international crisis?

We want change! at any cost.

Forget real experience, we want untested intellectual elitest theories on how things "should" work. How many times has he been wrong so far? Even Biden said the presidency is not the place for on-the-job training.

Four years from now we'll be saying, "Dang, those theories didn't quite pan out; let's elect someone who knows what the heck they're doing.

Leah DiMarco, Texas   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Palin's kids should be back at home and IN SCHOOL.

With Palin as president the whole world will be laughing at America and attacking America.

CNN please post my message:

McCain has a new hero: Teddy, make room for Joe. Philadelphia Inquirer October 21. " Roosevelt believed that rich should pay more". Demand progressive taxation in 1907 and you get your face carved onto Mount Rushmore. Advocate the same thing in 2008, and you are an enemy of hardworking plumbers. Go figure.

Either candidate who wins will be tested. I will trust Obama, with his 21st Century mindset and his top notch advisors, to navigate those waters on our behalf far more reliably than I would McCain, who is still stuck in the days of the Cold War.

And what if McCain wins, then dies.... what do you think the testing of Palin will be like? That would be the true definition of dangerous.

Independent from PA   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

For a VP candidate who is afraid to be interviewed by the press, you do blow a lot of hot air, Sarah Palin! Can't wait to send you back to Alaska to face Trooper Gate charges...

annonymous   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

TESTED? Sitting in your plane on a ship somewhere while a crisis is playing out in between Super-powers is hardly a test.

(I refer to McCain's comments regarding the Cuban Missle crisis

Randy   October 23rd, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Will this woman stop at nothing to get elected? Instead of always ranting about someone else why not talk about yourself, the policies you hope to put forth, etc. If you can not win based on your own creditials and proposals, you don't desire to be VP. Enough with trying to scare everyone.

Obama has a family crisis and he can't escape the demons. Anyway, early voters are all out in record numbers and the tilt is towards Obama, so he might be out of sight but not out of mind.

A voter   October 23rd, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Sarah Palin has a rare knack for reducing everything to the lowest common denominator. She herself is so vulgar that it is sad to think that a sizable number of voters are turned on by her. If this is what America wants, then God help us. Just someone buy her and her clan a one-way ticket to Wasilla and get her out of the lower 49 states. That would be good riddance indeed.

Josh In North Carolina   October 23rd, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Palin's wants to be more than vice president; she wants legislative power. Sarah Palin would be more dangerous than Cheney as vice president because she’s corrupt and doesn’t know what she is doing.

Sarah has a lawsuit AGAINST FURTHER PROTECTION OF POLAR BEARS so as not to hinder oil drilling in Alaska's ice-filled waters

KJL   October 23rd, 2008 4:25 pm ET

This woman is a racist cow, and she has an ugly herd following her.

Anyone with a brain in their head knows things happen right after an election, and a lot of them aren't pretty. This is another good reason for electing a level-headed, intelligent president instead of one who wants to BOMB BOMB BOMB Iran.

Dan the Hillary Voter   October 23rd, 2008 4:25 pm ET

I'm starting to think that voting for McCain is probbably the safer bet here. Obama seems more occupied with his ambition, than with the country right now.

Why can't she complete the Biden quote...Barack Obama will meet that challenge with "a spine of steel"?! Why does she leave that part out, or is this just another disregard of facts which she doesn't like?

'Cuz it makes sense, doesn't it, that Joe Biden is campaigning for a man who he doesn't think is competent? Oh wait...that's Sarah Palin's job...only in her case, it's a whole darned lot of real, patriotic, pro-America Americans who don't think her running mate is competent, by golly.

Keep up the division and the rhetoric and the slapping, McPalin...every single poll shows your meanspirited lies and attacks are working...in O'Biden's favor!

CitizenAJ   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Here is what I think COULD happen. The world is watching this election. That means America's enemies are watching this election. They have watched the debates and may have paid attention to the campaigns of both sets of candidates. They see John McCain as a candidiate with no plans, no vision, who picked a VP pick who is NOT READY to lead. If any ticket gets tested early, it would be the McCain-Palin ticket because America's enemies know his VP pick would be helpless in an actual conflict. Think about it America. What would Sarah Palin do if a major incident happened and McCain was incapcitated? What would she offer him if he was not? Who would focus on other issues while he address the incident? Palin could not on her own because she is clueless. His cabinet you say? Then you admit that their ticket is the weaker of the two and we should not be putting the "weaker" ticket in the white house, for America's sake!

Obama 08   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Joe the Undecided   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Double standard given that the uninitiated Palin would become president should something happen to McCain.

Simply by hearing Obama and Palin speak, it's obvious which one would handle a crisis with an appropriate response and leadership.

Alison B   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Where does she get her facts from. Is this scripted for her or is this factual information that she can confirm to be true.

And you wouldn't invite crisis. You are (Sara Palin) the most absurd candidate ever!

Janet Jacme   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Geez. Her speech writers are getting really snippy.

Anyway Sarah- Thanks, but no thanks, I'm voting for the smart guys. Go back to Alaska and wait for Putin's head to rear in the airspace.

Vivian   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Californian4Obama   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Biden did not say Obama "is not ready" to handle a national security crisis, but rather that Obama will need his supporters to stand with him as tough decisions are made.– Why does this so-called Christian woman find the need to lie so much?

So tired of seeing and listening to her everywhere. She has become a liability. I think McCain should put Cindy in this woman's place if he needs help campaigning.

Dan   October 23rd, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Palin, every single President faces crisis, every one of them! Lieberman was saying every new President will face crisis, and used it to campaign for McStain. These clowns are a disgrace!

JT   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

I don't know what situation is more insane:

- Palin purposefully manipulating Biden's words and creating another argument that doesn't exist to scare up votes.

OR

- Palin actually believes that is what Biden was saying, once again showing how dull minded she truly is.

It's sad. Either way I look at it, it's a sad situation for America.

Denise Colorado   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

This is just wrong on so many levels. Obama invites danger like Palin invites ignorance. Take away her teleprompter and just let her ramble. Enough already. And she is the so-called face of Christianity. Lord help us!

John   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

How was a press conference after his planned meeting of national security advisors 'hasty'? Also, Biden did NOT say that Obama was not ready to deal with it. He said he would approach it with an iron back.

Besides, can Palin explain how sitting on an aircraft carrier during the Cuban Missile crisis suddenly makes McCain tried and true in international crisis'?

Dee   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Here she goes again...but anyone with any sense should know that Al-Qaida would love McCain in office considering he'll keep our troops there for YEARS to come...

And ANYONE would is elected will be tested..but would you rather someone YOUNG and FIT with a VP that can handle the issue or an OLD SICKLY man with an UNQUALIFIED VP who would make matters worse and doesn't even know what a VPs role is?

Danger? We have had 8 years of someone who provoked danger. Obama will not invite danger he will quell it.

I am so shock that we even have a v.p. candidate like her who has nothing but stupidity to offer!

Sue   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

You are correct, Sen Biden and Gov Palin: Obama is not good material to lead our country. The test will come to either presidential candidate, but it's just that Obama will have the 'deer in the headlights' approach just trying to understand the language as the missiles drop on us–that is, he will still be in shock that not everyone loves him as much of the US does; that is, can it be possible he did or said something wrong to cause this problem??? He's not fit..

Tiff of lithia springs   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Actually the terrorist would rather have the hot tempered MCCAin at the helm. To ruin this country financially like they did RUSSIA in Afganistan. Remember the USSR had a 10 year war with those people where they lost and soon afterwards the USSR fell from money woes and we don't won't that.. These people know exactly what they are doing. Having support TWO WARS!!!.

WE SPEND 10 BIL A MONTH IN IRAQ ALONE HAS ANYONE GOT FIGURES FOR AFGANISTAN.

Agreed! It really is painful to listen to her.

jaye   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Does anybody expect her to say anything different? After all the hate filled rhethoric she spews at her campaign rallies, after all the innuendo that Senator Obama will diminish the stature of the White House, after her lies that Senator Obama pals around with terrorist, after her remarks that get her crowds stirred up to the point of racial slurs against Senator Obama, to hate filled slurs against Obama, to her all but calling Obama un-American, etc., then anything she says doesn't surprise me.
All I know is that she and John McCain are shameful and should be ousted from the offices they now hold.

Joe the Architect   October 23rd, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Unemployment will be over 10% under Obama guaranteed. Other business owners I have talked with will also start cutting jobs and raising prices if Obama is elected.

IMO, a President whose sole claim to fame is that he was a soldier and a VP who abused her power as the governor and whose husband was a member of a secessionist party invite WHOLE BUNCHES more danger than a leader like Obama who will bring wisdom and a calm demeanor, along with so many other attributes of one possessing a STRONG CHARACTER, AS WELL AS the wise counsel of so many who led in so many arenas of government.

Palin has already created a "crisis" in this country. She incites racial slurs to be yelled at her rallies. She has lied to the country numerous times. She can't even figure out what the VP does for a living. She stole from her own party, $150,000 worth of clothing. Come on RNC, get your head out of the sandbox.

Darrell Burks   October 23rd, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Palin will invite terroist to attack us. McCain and Palin have no plan for international security, Surge Surge Surge – just tactical.

Vote Obama/Biden – Intelligent leadership at its best!!!!!!

Why are they trying to scare people into voting for them? Come on now, who in their right mind would be scared of a 73 year old man?

Things are getting rather desperate over in McCain land.

Silly fool. don't u have a wedding to plan?

megan   October 23rd, 2008 4:22 pm ET

There she goes again...invoking terrorism. I'd much rather have a cool temperment who thinks about what he's doing and makes good judgement and sees the big picture.

I'd also like a President who knows the constitution...not one who thinks they specifically wrote it with "wiggle room" to have unwarranted powers. Carribue Barbie Power Puff Girls...don't belong in the white house!

Laverne   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

It is hard to believe this woman considers herself a Christian, I say out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh! She is one of the most devisive figures in politics I have seen in a long time. If she thinks she is positioning herself to run for POTUS in 2012, she can think again because the American people don't forget easily and she has already lost millions and millions of people who would never vote for her. She is a moose in sheeps clothing!

FactCheck   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

A week and a half and you become an ugly memory.

Kathie Powell   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

I don't want a fighter pilot making the decision for our country to go to war. People like McCain makegreat fighter pilots because they excel at acting before thinking. They don't hesitate, and make knee-jerk reactions, just the opposite of what a country needs when making the decision to go to war or launch a nuclear bomb.

Kelby from Houston, TX   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Sarah Palin on Thursday warned Ohioans that the Democratic ticket will "invite dangerous international crisis" if elected and gleefully mocked Barack Obama for dismissing his running mate Joe Biden as being prone to "rhetorical flourishes."

TRANSLATION: Be afraid, Be fearful of Obama, the world and the future BE AFRAID. Don't listen your heart, don't listen to your mind, don't listen to reason. Close your mind. Listen to me and be afraid. Be fearful enough to vote for me.

Are you afraid yet?
Are you scared?

Is this still the land of the free and the home of the brave? Where have the brave gone?

VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS
VOTE FOR OBAMA
THAT ONE '08

So Palin's kids don't go to school? I'm confused here!

SBAMA   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

I can't wait for her to go back to Alaska.... This election can not get here soon enough!

Blue   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Still spreading lies, and hate. Except now we know Palin does this in a $3,000 Saks Fifth Ave suite. (What a hockey mom)

Can't wait for Nov. 4th.

adg   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Mccain and palin are already a danger to our country. and I have a strong feeling and trust thar Obama will do great IF a crisis were to happen He has shown leadership and calmness already.

gadgtfreak   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Twisting words again? When you have nothing to offer you just criticize and lie about the other fellow.

bill   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

This woman has no room to talk about anyone's experience.

When McCain asks if she is ready to be president he responds that she was part of the PTA – what a joke.

These people have no new ideas and I cant wait till Nov 5 when I dont have to hear about this woman ever again!

TONY   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

ONLY IN AEMRICA COULD SOMEONE LIKE MCCAIN AND THIS DIMWITTED, INCOHERENT, INCOMPETENT, BABBLING FOOL GET ELECTED.

SHOUOLD THEY WIN THE VAST MAJORITY OR WORKING AMERICANS CAN SAY GOODBYE TO THEIR JOBS, PENSIONS, 401(k)'S AND RETIREMENT SAVINGS.

IF YOU VOTE FOR THESE TWO LYING, HYPOCRITAL FRAUDS YOU DESERVE EXACTLY THAT.

HUFFINGTON POST   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS CURRENTLY EMPLOYING SEVERAL TACTIS TO SUPPRESS DEMOCRATIC VOTERS IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE POSITIVE THAT YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED IS BY VOTING EARLY & IN PERSON AT THE POLLING STATIONS.

Tim Pruitt   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Nice clothes Palin family.

jim, kansas city MO   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

They are not her words, Biden said it best "they (terrorists) will test him he wont know what to do, so just bear with him"

If Palin would say those words, OMG the judgment day but of course for Biden everything is allowed and looked on the other side while he messes up. Like that restoran he mentioned in debate, which by the way has been closed since 1987, what the heck....

Him and Obama sure make an amazing team...

I doubt it this will get published because it does not fit into CNNs political daily agenda

Independent Voter   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

No. You will invite danger if you get elected with only an iota of a brain to parade as a vice president, Designer-Clothes-Loving Palin.

Bea   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Palin, the bad guys prefer McCain because they say if Obama wins it will be bad for their goal of trying to pain America as the enemy..how will Obama invite danger? I am so tired of CNN even giving this type of talk any type of publicity...this is trying to scare voters ..this should be unacceptable...

Nancy   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

I am so tired of their negative campaigning I could scream! She is the dangerous one!! The combination of being so power hungry and also so ignorant and small minded is the worst form of danger.

The McCain Palin ticket is BAD FOR AMERICA! They cause divisiveness. They lie about their opponents. Enough is enough!

Donna   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Palin has no shame–which is why she is plummeting in the polls. Her dishonesty and incompetence will cost McCain the election.

paul (reformed republican)   October 23rd, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Does McCain SERIOUSLY think HE will not be tested himself? Does he really think he has already been tested? Either he's lying or he's a stupid as his running mate! He claims he's been tested many, many times. By whom? He's never sat in the Big Chair!

No matter which one gets into the Oval Office in January, there will be a whole pile of crises to face; and there will be foreign governments who will attempt to test the mettle of the new President.

It's precisely this kind of stupidity that made me vote for That One.

PB   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

It is hard to know where to begin in responding and reacting to Governor Palin's latest distortion. The very idea that she could conceivably occupy the Oval Office, with her minimal understanding of global realities, is sobering, to say the least. To hear her distort, criticize and parse the stump speeches of Senators Obama and Biden would be maddening if it wasn't so patently absurd.

One can only hope that the majority of the electorate isn't buying any of it at this point, and that she is speaking only to the "base," whose minds were made up long ago.

Nganenu   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Inadequate for the office of VP. Cannot describe the job. What a pity for US!

Kevin Crowne   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

oh yeah, please. This woman invites danger everytime she opens her mouth. It's isn't working Miss "Hockey Mom." Go back to AIC with your husband and get out of America. We're tired of this fear and blasphemy and your obvious lack of knowledge.

Lisa   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I thought the American people are more interested in the Economy than the war? Once again Palin and Mccain are out of touch.

bob in L.A.   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Where is the press on this?
Am i worng but wasn't the US attacked in 2001 right after Bush's election? Weren't we attacked in 2003 right after Clintons? Wasn't there a crisis at the beginning of Regan and Carter administrations?
In saying that we will be tested by an international crisis is why Joe Biden is the BEST CANDIDATE in the race- period.
He knows our history and wants to learn from it and be prepared.
Laughing about it is what Bush did about the threat from Al Qeada.

Eric in VA   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Curtis - Marietta, GA   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

You know, for someone who refuses to give a "true" interviews with many of the media, who refuses to admit when she's lied and refuses to stop lying, CNN sure does give her a lot of air time. It must be nice to say whatever you want without anyone there to correct you.

So now I'm supposed to be worried that if Sen. Obama is elected, I will be attacked. If this is bi-partisan politics and bringing the country together, god help us all.

JimG   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Could be worse. Palin could be VP. McCain kicks the bucket in office. Palin becomes President. Breaks a nail and all hell breaks loose!

Enrique, Chicago   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Sarah Palin is a joke. We all know that the only true danger to our country is having her as vice president. It's laughable that she spends so much of her time attacking Obama and so little time addressing concerns about her knowledge of economic and global issues.

s.positive   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

No it is your big mouth and little depth of international knowledge that will be the problem...

iv64   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Following orders in uniform is being tested? Even the military didn't think he was qualified to be promoted. His military record is less than stellar. Lets release the whole thing if you are going to use it as an argument.

kay   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Getting desparate. I think she has enough personal problems to address. She's hardly a guru on the issues.

Robbie   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Just because you have been in the military doesn't mean you should be president. Just like just because you can see Russia from your back yard does not make you an expert in foirgn policy.

gallimimus   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Sheez, here she goes again. How about talking about the issue's. How about talking about how you would like to educate our youth. NOOOO, just the constant bashing. That's all they have left.

Obama/Biden 08, I already voted. Go Colorado, Obama/Biden!

economist   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

To believe Palin is to be abjectly stupid. Every president is tested when they arrive in office. They are tested by allies, and non-allies. The leadership of other nations need to know how the new administration will respond so they can make their own foreign policy. *It does not matter who we elect, there will be a foreign policy test.* And I would trust Mr. Obama in that situation much more than Mr. McCain or Ms. Palin.

SOUTHERN HOTTIE   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Does PALIN know the job duties?

Sam-NJ   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Pat_Pinehurst NC   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

How does this woman claim to be a Christian? Has she even read the Bible? Has she spent one moment wondering what kind of example she is setting for her children? It makes me so sad to see them watching her tell lie after lie after lie.

Tony   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Obama will invite a dangerous international crisis by being tested by our enemies to see just how spineless Obama really is. What's worse is that he'll invite a dangerous DOMESTIC crisis with his Socialist policies.

I'll go with the guy who's go the experience internationally and domestically, not some chump who wants to steal wealth and no create job and staged a pathetic photo-op with his supposed national security advisers.

McCain '08

Ken in Dallas   October 23rd, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Oblivious, isn't she?

If McCain were to be elected, he, too, would be tested, and he would FAIL by trying things that worked fifty years ago and aren't even relevant now.

McCain's experience is worthless, because he's still trying to deal with the issues of the pre-Reagan era.

Trey in Virginia   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Fear That's a new Republican tactic.

tiredofher   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

McCain/Palin are the ones who are inviting trouble! She should just take her free clothes for the first dude and herself and their brood and go back "North To Alaska"

Charlie Bradley   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Wrong again Caribou Barbie. YOU need to take a chill pill and show some maturity in your campaign.

What I WANT is someone who doesn't abuse her power and expect the taxpayers of her state to foot the bill for PERSONAL travel.

Go back to Alaska...IF they want you there

H. Charles   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

This coming from the person who doesn't know the duties of the job she's in the running for. And don't give me that "she was trying to explain it in 3rd grader terms." Kids aren't stupid. If that question came up on a 3rd grader's test, they would get it wrong because Palin told them some BS instead of telling them the truth. She's been talking to her supporters like they're the 3rd graders. Too bad the 3rd graders I know are smarter than her and her supporters.

sabuc for Obama   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

It's funny how they fail to mention that Joe Lieberman was the one that originally said that whoever wins the race will be tested with an international crisis when they step into office.

Palin sure is keeping Tina Fey in business!!

YOLA   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Are they for real? Every violent incident that is reported should be tied right back to McCain/Pailin! This is just disgusting!

Shari, NY   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

The Republicans have already invited peril with you as a VP choice.
By the way, Sen. McCain will definitely need a plumber to clear those pipes that he has clogged with misconstrued info re Obama’s tax plans using Joe, Sam (whatever his name is) as a scapegoat. Incidentally, why is there utter lack of diversity at the Country First rallies? Where's everybody?

LYNETTE IN CA   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

I bet she had to look up "rhetorical flourishes" before she got up there and said it.

Actually, she was told what it means.

A dictionary is not something she's familiar with.

Yngvai   October 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

I usually vote for a mix of Republicans and Dems in the election. But the more I hear the McCain campaign and the overt negativity from them, the more likely I'm going to vote Dem across the board this year.

so sick of this   October 23rd, 2008 4:18 pm ET

The McCain/Palin campaign has a lot of nerve, especially when he suggests that he will not be "tested" because he already has been.
That's exactly what invites danger. They need to put a muzzle on the pit bull and her owner – NOW! Curb your dogs, RNC, for the sake of the nation.

vic fern   October 23rd, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I have lost all respect for Sarah Palin... She is smary, hypocritical, and despicable person. McCain showed he has no leadership skills by selecting this moron as his VP.

HAHA! That from a woman who does not no jack abt leadership.

Ethics violations, firing illegally, taking family on trips and the correcting expenses, $160,000 on clothes, inciting hate and racism, wife of guy who wants Alaska to secede!, don't know what a VP does, agress with Barack's pakistan stance, disagrees with McSame's robo calls, reads everything infront of her, sees Russia from her balcony...

GOD, u really think we are that STUPID!!

Mike D   October 23rd, 2008 4:18 pm ET

37-year-old First Time Voter   October 23rd, 2008 4:18 pm ET

McCain and you have run a very dis-honorable campaign..a dis-service to the American people and it will follow you where ever you go.

AnnMM   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Could the McCain/Palin campaign get any sleazier? Do they have anything to say besides rants of racist rhetoric, fearmongering and lies? I voted for McCain in the 2000 Republican primary, I WAS a registered Republican back then but I wouldn't vote for him for dog-catcher today.

McCain has lost all dignity in his pitiful attempt to be President and I don't think Palin ever had any.

Shame on the two of you, SHAME!

Red, Red WHINE!!   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

And Palin will invite Secessionism and Abuse of Power if elected.

I'll take the guy that likes 95% of american rather then dude that only cares about 5% of it. I'll take Obama in a heart beat over the fear mongering, incompetent, rotten sack of flesh, aka McCain!

mike (not that one)   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Soooooo.... vote for McCain or we all die???

Jason   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

I believe that Palin does not know what rhetorical flourishes means. Good thing Barack used those big words first. Someone should ask her to use those words in a sentence. I'd pay money to see her answer!

Bulldog   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

We had George Bush and Dick Cheney along with a Republican controlled congress for 6 years. They have done great damage to the United States and most Americans are feeling it wether in their pocketbooks or family members affected by the wars we are in. Darn right the Republicans need to go. As an independent I have it up to here with the GOP and their name calling and lies. I will be voting all Democrat with my vote because I am sick to my stomach with the GOP and their damaging ideologies. They must go!

Elizabeth in Texas   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

This woman is a psycho.

ALM   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Keith   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Sarah, please go back up to Alaska so we don't have to hear any more of you. November 4th cannot come soon enough!

Reality Check Richmond Virginia   October 23rd, 2008 4:17 pm ET

man, she is such a nutjob.

John, Tampa, FL   October 23rd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Folks,
I am not scared of Obama, I am scared of McCain. Obama is the safe choice because he along with Biden will know what to do. It seems like Palin and McCain don't like each other and would be loss in a crisis.

KS   October 23rd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Any new president will be tested. All McCain has proved is that he lacks the right judgment to handle a crisis. He is by far the more dangerous of the two candidates, and I truly believe our foes will be more apt to 'test' him because of it.

Elizabeth in Texas   October 23rd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Ugh, this woman is awful.

I voted early today for Obama/Biden in Dallas, TX.

This woman is a drag and so negative I cannot stand it anymore. She talks about her faith but I see no evidence of it in her character.

think this through   October 23rd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

The only reason that 95% + of people benifit from Obama's plan is because over 35% do not pay taxes and will get a free check for doing nothing. So he is essence buying that presidency by getting all these people to vote in order to get the free money.

It is a smart winning strategy, however it is not right and I am shocked not 1 person in the media is calling him out on it (that I have heard of anyway)

REPUBLIC OF TEXAS   October 23rd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

OBAMA WILL TAX AND SPEND

lindapuma   October 23rd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Investment capital money and wealth moving out of the country as Obama leads in the polls.? Go figure it our.

No $150,000 publicly funded wardrobe here!   October 23rd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Wow, didn't Dick Cheney say we would get attacked if a Democrat was elected? Same old party line.
