It's obvious, she meant that Afghanistan was the neighboring country to our 51st state of Iraq, although technically, this is not true either.

I would like to know what Each candidates I.Q. is. McCain graduated 894th, ot of 899 graduates, after being saved by his parents,from being kicked out several times. Also don't you think if you were the first elected black president, you would do everything in your power to do well, so not to give african american's a bad name?

Sarah Palin obviously relishes her role as attack dog. But what shows through clearly is the essential ugliness of her soul. Her remarks in Clearwater, Florida, to the effect that Barack Obama is a "terrorist," as one man shouted in her audience, prompted another man to say "kill him!" That is one of the most reprehensible and irresponsible things a presidential or VP candidate can do.
She professes to be a Christian, but one command both she and McCain have broken is the one probiting bearing false witness against one's neighbor. Obama has put his life on the line throughout the campaign in a way that no other candidate because of the death threats and hate mail he has received due to his race.
If McCain-Palin ever won, there would be a lot of lasting ill will that would make it difficult, if not impossible, for them to govern effectively.

What else is there to say, all she knows anything about is Alaska, and drilling for oil. A joke! I mean, she has a degree in journalism and it took her six years to get it! The republicans finnally found someone who is dumber than Bush!

while some would say that sarah palin's smear campaign isn't mccain's way ( to make him blameless for his vp's irresponsible behavior ) she actually is the best tool yet mccain's campaign can muster in these desperate times.
yes, a coy, sweet-looking woman, who should be treated with kid gloves by her opponents for fear of risking the wrath and resentment of women voters, as well as, men who think women should be treated with delicate tenderness..
americans should be able to see through the deception and bring to the presidential office men who can discuss openly and intelligently the serious concerns of everyone in these critical times...
pls., i am not white nor black but i want a pres and a vp who have more brains and grasp of the issues than the mccain-palin team.

Some of the made by Sarah Palin during the vise presidential debate struck me as inappropriate, patronizing and out of touch.
First; when she asked, “Can I call you Joe?” I was immediately impressed (actually I almost liked her for a moment) and thought that she sounded sincere even endearing—very professional ….but was it? She later abused that privilege (of calling Gov. Biden, Joe) by saying, “There you go Joe…” I believe that little snide remark had been her intentions from the start and she executed it superbly (which leads me to believe also that she is well experienced in sarcasm); so much for sincerity.
That little set-up also made me realize that the first impression I had of Sara Palin was most likely right on target. That is the cute, coy, bully of a girl, who always gets her way; as well as gets away with being cruel and unkind with a pout or a smile. Haven’t we gotten away from that “coy girly” mentality? Our daughters our sons and theirs deserve better than that. They deserve better choices than to have to rely on that type of behavior; is that really what we want our children to see, to imitate?
Sarah Palin is the first one to call foul and the first one to strike a foul blow. Someone should tell her that if you are going to hit someone you should be ready to get hit back and that most likely you are going to hit harder.
Secondly; she called the working class “Joe six pack” (as she stood there in her stilettos) that statement was demoralizing, insinuating, and patronizing not endearing. Didn’t I see her in prayer just before the debate? Why the analogy to alcohol in reference to the working class and isn’t that something else we should be well away from? I know I didn’t appreciate it.
Third; the winks….What was that all about? Oh, the coy girly thing? You betcha;)
