VP

When will Palin release her tax returns?

Smart Lady...

Why in the he** would Gov. Palin even want to speak with any of the leftist smear machine that call themselves 'press' - they have done nothing but smear, lie and degrade this wonderful women since she first came onto the National scene -

Gov. Palin one smart lady to brush off the press - hope she continues - she and John McCain sure have my vote !!

I'm old, and don't recall ever seeing the press act in such a low, disgusting manner - they have lost all credibility in my eyes, and I'm sure I speak for many other Americans as well -

seph...

McCain/Palin '08

The bottom line.......I will not give her my vote if she can't even handle the press. If she is not talking, I am assuming she had something to hide. My vote to Obama.

She's all qualified now!

Palin rubbing elbows with Bono was *exactly* what I had in mind when I thought of her needing more foreign policy experience.

Sarah Palin

Why are so many afraid of an attractive, intelligent, confident female. Are there that many insecure losers amongst us?

A VERY SECURE 71 year young!

Press Looking for "Gotcha Moments"

Journalism is dead and has been replaced by commentary by personalities driven by ratings. That said, Palin, her family, her hometown and anyone ever connected with her have been subject of ridicule. Why should she put herself out there for more of the same?

I also love that you screen all comments and make sure they aren't "abusive"...too bad the media doesn't do the same

I'm actually happy they kept the media out. No matter what was or wasn't said it would have been the same slanted opinion either way.

opps--Biden Gaffes ion the Brain

Obviously I meant to say McCain-Palin--Joe Biden is in my head. Keep it up Joe!

Go Sarah

Keep doing your thing--you don't owe them a damn thing. we love you. press, keep whining. it is only helping the ticket.

McCain-Biden 2008!
