While there are so many people who are up on Sarah Palin, I'm surprised the fact that Palin is the governor of a state that ranks 46th in the nation in population, and that there are 16 U.S. cities that have more people than her state.
She looked like a nitwit because she wasn't prepared. Plain and simple. If she admitted that, it would be better than complaining about the media coming after me. Sorry. It's not the media I'm afraid of. It's the self righteous that keeps me awake at night.

Want some cheese with that whine? Of course Caroline Kennedy has been treated softer by media. For one thing she is not an idiot. Second she does not hold huge rallies spouting off devisive, vile comments based on total fabrications. Third she does not condone people yelling about killing people at her events. Sarah is not even close to Ms. Kennedy's league. Do us a favor and don't open your mouth except to eat.

Sarah, needs to get over it and go away! she did not make as a beauty queen nor as VP. John McCain sure opened Pandora's box with this one. Blagojevich and Sarah Palin, please go away!

She needs to stop crying. She was and is a complete joke. She's a freaking idiot who didn't know anything. No one took anything out of context. She had the nerve to say if she had been on the democratic ticket, the people would have loved here. Is she on crack? Her political party affiliation has nothing to do with her ignorance.

this woman would have been a perfect in the paranoid, delusional world of the bush administration.
what do you suppose would be said about a woman politican from the Democratic party who had a unmarried teenager with a new born baby who's other grandma was just busted for drugs?
your feeble attempt to keep your name in the news is just pathetic.

Hey "disappointed", you've had eight years to act righteous, it's the democrat's turn, and quit making personal attacks, that's what fools do when they run out of valid arguments to make. And Shaggy: Affirmative Action didn't help Obama get through a tough school like Harvard, nor get elected president. He is who he is because he is smarter than you!

"... January 9th, 2009 12:27 pm ET

I can't believe what I am hearing. Governor Palin criticizes the press for reporting "salacious" remarks, but she had no qualms about accusing President-Elect Obama of palling around with terrorists?"

He did pal around with terrorists! I remember the Weather Underground from when I was in High School, Ayers, Dorn the entire sticking lot of them.
If you boy is such a genius, why did he not know who he was talking to?
Or is this just another case of the Media selected winner getting a free ride?
BTW – Did he ever figure out his family tree?? See his Memorial Day 2008 speech about the invisible uncle that fought with the Red Army

After reading most of this long list of comments, I'm guessing that the Obama headquarters sent out a text message to all their volunteer bloggers to do their part for Change, and "destroy the Palin brand."

Jack . Sara Palin is like your sister-in-law you can relate to her but you wish she would keep her mouth shut because every time she talks her lack of common knowledge just comes out whether she want's it to or not.

The difference between Kennedy and Palin is, of course, the fact that Palin is a complete dingbat. There is little to report about Kennedy other than her relative lack of experience, since she is well educated and highly intelligent. Such as.

Just to show us how hypocritical you all really are?
Why would you subject yourselves to such 'liberal' drival?
Oh, that's right......YOU ARE ALL HOLIER THAN THOU!

We VOTED your idiot leaders out and have replaced them with more intelligent folks.

Frankly, if you are going to run a campaign on "Family Values" and put down opponents for lacking morals - you just put yourself up for excessive scrutiny, esp when your 15yr old daughter gets pregnant.

Run on a campaign of improving the economy and the media wouldnt have cared two bits about your personal life.

Wow. She just doesn't get it! I don't think she ever will. She is showing what an horrible amatuer she really is. I guess she forgot that some of the nastiest and most fradulent accusations came out of HER mouth in this campaign!

Will someone she trusts please sit her down and explain to her that the American people can think for themselves and the majority of us, I beleive, find her to be very unprepared emotional, or intellectually to hold high office. No wonder the McCain kept her on a short lease. Look at how she's acting now.

She needs a new nickname, "Say Anything Sarah." I hope it sticks.

Please, GOP, please put her on the ticket in 2012!

Palin should have said no to McCain for the selection to be VP, she has not helped the ticket at all, but McCain has also demonstrated his lack of judgement by picking Palin. Both have very low IQ. She has to continue to take care of the tundra, the snow, her children and grand children and watch Putin and Medvedev from the window of her bedroom.

Kevin in Ohio says, "the media bias and left wing hatred and vitriol is obvious to anyone with half a brain." Yeah, but what about those of us with *entire* brains? Oh, that's right, we rejected the Republican party for its nearly decade-long war on reason, compentency, and progress. Sarah Palin's very own vitriolic comments on Obama were entirely uncalled for. Palls around with terrorists? Quick, someone call the feds!

Independent bloggers are not journalists, can't anyone differentiate? The main stream media did not repeat as truth these rumors, they never validated these rumors. The media did not treat her better or worse than any other candidate–all she is doing is trying to keep the mantra going about the "liberal" media to deflect the attention from her own inadequacies, a tatic begun by republican candidatesin the 70s and pretty much discredited. She was not ready for the national stage - neither the questions nor the issues (she apparently had never thought about many of the issues facing this country). Just like the Enron boys, the Congress, Bush its always someone else's fault.

Palin, you have to understand that when you're a Vice Presidential candidate, you will be scrutined by the media. The Couric interviews were very generous, fair and balanced. Those interviews exposed Palin's complete lack of intellectual depth and curiousity. That has to be irritating for Palin, but very valuable for those considering her as a candidate.

Ayers Is a terrorist and Obama got his start in politics in Ayers home. It is fact. Prove me wrong.

As much as I hate her, I hate McCain even more. Everything she did she was instructed to do from him and his low-life advisors. While she is (supposed) to be an adult and did chose this route to the WH, I hold him more accountable. He's a coward that hid behind some boobs. Both their chickens are coming home to roost....

We need to stop blaming sarah and take our fustration to the person who went all the way to Alaska to bring her to our view, and also the Media that are filming her face to expose to our view. McCain should be arrested and jailed for this calamity he has put us under. So leave Sarah alone, leave her be. Just don't read any article or view any interview she is giving. As simple as that. She has the right to speak and you have the right to not listen. Remember, she always knew that Alaska was the whole world, but she now discovers that the world extends beyond Alaska, let she knock herself out of excitement.
