Sara Palin
She's way out of her league! She needs to stay in Alaska and take care of her family!
Palin has a lot of competition
Palin has a lot of competition out there. Unfortunately for her, there are many strong, intelligent and global women out there. The pickings aren't slim!
OBAMA IS STRONG!!! PALIN'S A PUPPET!!! MCCAIN IS WEAK!!
OBAMA IS A MAN IN CONTROL WITH CONFIDENCE AND AN IQ ABOVE 10, UNLIKE PALIN. SHE INSULTS MY GENDER AND SALTS THE WOUNDS THAT WOMEN HAVE SUFFERED FOR YEARS. SHE JUST A BARBIE WITH A PULL STRING FOR MCCAIN. HER HUSBAND APPEARS TO BE PUSSY WHIPPED AND HAS LITTLE TO OFFER. MCCAIN IS A BITTER OLD MAN WHO IS PRONE TO PUBLIC OUTBURST.YOU SEE THIS AS CONTROL I SEE THIS AS WEAKNESS. IT TAKES A REAL STRONG MAN TO MAINTAIN HIS DIGNITY UNDER STRESS.MCCAIN IS LIKE A SPOILED BRAT WHO ALWAYS HAS TO HAVE HIS WAY REGARDLESS OF WHO HE HURTS INCLUDING HIMSELF. ALSO I THINK THAT THERE IS STILL ALOT OF ISSUES OVER OBAMA BEING AFRICAN AMERICAN. MY LIFE HAS BEEN ENRICHED THROUGH DIVERSITY . I FIND PEOPLE OF COLOR TO BE MORE COMPASSIONATE AND WILLING TO REACH OUT. MY GOD,MY MOTHER STILL HIDES HER DIAMONDS AND HOLDS HER PURSE TIGHT WHEN SHE PASSES BLACKS, HIPANICS ANYONE OTHER THAN WHITE. BY THE WAY SHE IS IN THAT AGE GROUP 70'S LIKE MCAIN.IT MAKES ME SICK !!!!!!! AMERICA IS STILL ENSLAVED BY NARROW MINDED OLDER WHITE PEOPLE. SOME HOWEVER HAVE EVOLVED!!! MY DAUGHTER IS ANOTHER MINORITY WHO HAS BEEN PASSED OVER WHEELCHAIRED BOUND.THIS COUNTRY HAS LITTLE TOLERANCE FOR ANYONE WHO IS VIEWDED AS DIFFERENT , I HAVE LIVED IT FIRST HAND!!
Palin
She reminds me of a certain moron: george w bush.
Sarah "shoot the wolves" Palin
A heartbeat away from being leader of the free world! A frightening thought and one we, as voters, cannot support. A past McCain supporter but have moved on to support Barach Obama.

As an educator, I am really tired of seeing the accomplishments of Obama being compared to Palin's. There is no comparison. Obama's education is top class. He obviously made so really good decisions about his time and his priorities. His choices after graduation demonstrate a high level of personal integrity. AND as an educator who has participated in an Annenberg grant, I do not feel as if he should be even questioned about his participation. There were all kind of people on that committee, Republicans and Democrats. Ayers, a university professor who authored the grant, worked with children in Chicago. Until you have tried to make changes for children, don't criticize those who do. After all, IF Ayers turned his life around enough to earn a doctorate, write over 20 books about education, and write grants to help children, don’t you think the good people in the religious right ought to have enough compassion in their heart to forgive him of his past transgressions?
But instead, Obama, who would make any teacher proud, has been called a terrorist because he served on a board that helped children. So let’s see, you are asked to serve on a board to help children, and your first action is ….to do a background check on everyone involved so that some day when you run for president there will not be the slightest chance that anyone’s background links you with terrorist. NOT!
It is absurd that McCain/ Palin came up with such a lame accusation and has milked it to the extreme that they have. That kind of leadership this country can do without.

I just listened to Sarah Palin speaking on the campaign trial. She sounded like a cheerleader, lots of noise but no substance. Ours is the B-E-S-T best. VICTORY. Where is the substance? I am hurting for the children of the country. I do not see how any of this chatter helps the young parents and children of this nation.
Palin's Public Defenders
Apparently FOX News, and more specifically Sean Hannity has made it his personal mission to rescue Sarah Palin from the "unfair and sexist attacks of the mainstream media. So, are we now to assume that every question that she either screws up or simply cannot answer is a de facto "unfair", "sexist" or "gotcha" question? If Joe Biden couldn't discuss specifics of Obama's record, or defend his foreign policy credentials, or name at least 1 supreme court case aside from Roe v. Wade, or give a coherent opinion on the proposed Financial Markets Bill, I don't think any of us would be screeching from our pulpit about how unfair the media is being to poor Joe Biden.
Palin
I agree with those who say the media is liberal and biased towards Obama. It's been that way since he was running for the nomination against Clinton. Let us hear a more balanced media please! Just for the record, no matter what negitive things the media is saying about Palin or McCain, my vote goes to McCain.
I don't get the support for Palin
I am a working mother, with a college education, who's never had an abortion and I don't understand how women aren't insulted by the Sarah Palin choice. She's supposed to be so tough, but they cry unfair treatment constantly. She's supposed to be ready, but will only do interviews when she's ready. She's supposed to be a quick study, but recent interviews show she hasn't learned anything. If you are continually "mocked" about your reponse about "Alaska's close proximity to Russia" - why don't you try to improve upon it - or accept the fact that its ridiculous and not working. Why does she keep saying that over and over again? I am insulted that she tries to use her "charm" to avoid tough questions. Its like she's constantly flirting. That's insulting to me. She's a joke and everything that was hyped about her appears to be a joke as well. I'd love to have a woman in the white house but not because she's a woman -but because she's smart, articulate, experienced, rational, and ready to handle the job.
