Seriously, it's her own fault that she faltered in the "softball" interview with Couric. Further, if SNL offended her so much, why did she go on the show later? It is such a relief that she will be no where near the leadership of our country. Why is she still in the news??

I don't mind her conservative principals, that's her right. But no one, not the McCain camp, the media, etc, told her to say that because she can see Russia, that gives her foreign policy experience. The Gibson interview, granted, Charlie was not 100% professional. But Katie Couric, she didn't throw her any curveballs, and asked questions based on the answers Gov Palin gave her. So, having never made a trip overseas, or met with foreign leaders, made her qualifed to be VP. Granted, Obama experience was a little lacking as well, but at least he had some federal experience. She's the governor of the "largest" state (said Guliani), but failed to say that state only has aout 800K people. Let's see, Pres Bush led a state with 32 million people. He did a great job...........:-). I just wish she (and others) would stop the blaming game. She just wasn't ready for the national stage and McCain should have realized that.

Alaska is definitely not the lower 48 when it comes to seeing if someone is really on top of it. The entire state of Alaska has fewer people than the city of Tucson, AZ. Looking for blame, Madame Governor? Look in the mirror and look at he GOP. The rest of us aren't as easy to fool as we used to be.

Somebody tell this retarded B the difference between a senator and vice president! If Caroline Kennedy wants to run for the highest office then I hope she does get asked simple questions like what newspaper she reads. And I bet she doesn't say "all of them" Duurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Why doesn't Falin go help her husband figure out how to secede Alaska from the United States. Maybe Russia will take them?

She says, “To me the question was more along the lines of, ‘Do you read, what do you guys do up there, what is it that you read?’” No, you idiot, the point of that question was to find out how you keep informed on current events, national and world affairs. Are you really that dumb? Based on your response and reaction, I guess so. And if the Republican Party feels Palin is their "future," they are simply contributing to the dumbing-down of America.
