This is what I don't get, McCain chose Palin to woo the conservative wing that hated him, he knows Palin is the least qualified person to be VP of this great country. Americans are not that stupid, McCain is a gambling man, hoping that Americans will get beyond Palin and vote for him, but what leadership quality would that show of McCain? If Palin's chose is not a gross political calculation, why does McCain shield her from the press. Biden is everywhere, talking to anybody who would listen,aren't they vying for the same job?

Republicans have stuck it up our nether reaches for forty years [except for that brief spate when Dems actually left a budget SURPLUS behind}. Now we're expected to lie down and roll over for the soccer-mom/bubba vote as Ms Palin "electrifies the Republican base". A recent poll shows the problems white Americans [I am one btw] might have with a black ppresident. That's a little like pushing a life-ring away because you don't like orange stripes. Fact is my furry little Republican, neo-Nazi, creationist-cretin, assault-rifle toting, de-regulating, laissez-faire, anti choice, global warming naysaying moronic friends...a little bit o' jail-porno [Sarah, of course]ain't gonna get your beef wet.

Guys I give it to you way to stand by your man.. But really this Sarah Palin thing is so reckless and just plain stupid. It could really end up destroying the US for future generations... Please get the facts and I hope you can find that Obama is the best thing for this nation. Take this chance and if it happens to not work out like you wanted vote republican for the rest of your life with your eyes closed..please think

Sean Hannity gave her another chance at the "Bush Doctrine" question, and she blew it again. She also gave an explaination about her energy policy where she suddenly began talking about molecules and whether they could be traced that then veered off in so many different directions it is difficult to even guess what her point was. It was clear she hadn't the slightest clue what she was talking about!
If she is not reading a script, she can't speak about any real issue without sounding like a clueless beauty pageant contestant. She has got to stick to teleprompters to have a chance, and she needs a childcare emergency to give her an excuse to cancel the debate with Joe Biden. Either that or she needs a device like Bush wore during his debates, with the hidden earphone and the bulge in the back of his coat.

As I read tonight about poor Sarah Palin's Troopergate Scandal in Alaska, I am confused. Why doesn't Sarah, obviously a good upstanding Religious Mother, just testify and get things over with. Why also does her husband and staff refuse to comply with the subpeonas? It seems that testifying, telling the truth and getting it over with would be so easy and make this horrible thing go away for her.
I am also confused as to why she would say that one of the reasons that she fired Monegan was because he was taking a trip to get money to help teach Alaskans how to avoid aggressive rape (I didn't know that there is such a thing as calm rape--learn something every day, don't you?). She must have been confused and must still be confused because there is now proof that the travel request was authorized by her office. Maybe this happened when she was dealing with family issues like illegitimate gifts from God.
I also don't understand why Sarah forced rape victims in the big city of Wasilla to pay for their own rape kits that would help find out who raped them. Perhaps she was confused or didn't know that those women were raped and thus should carry and give birth to their gift from God. Maybe she just thought that these women had been calmly raped rather than aggressively raped--who knows.
When we all know that Sarah is such a godly woman, why do all of these mean people keep finding out things that contradict what she has told us. Why doesn't she tell the truth?
Please tell us, Sarah.

Mccain's camp is too smart to "let Sara be Sara" because now that the race has moved from lipstick and babies to actual issues she has nothing to offer. When will Americans learn that to be Pres/VP that you have to know how the WORLD WORKS (which Palin has proven she doesn't) not just your own city or town or that you shouldn't vote for a Pres./VP because "you would hang out with them" I'm sure if you looked at all the people you hang out with wouldn't want them to be President either.

Something tells me you have a limited list of pure. Can a Black be pure? What about an EX Weatherman turned distinguished PROFESSOR at a well respected university? Bet you don't forgive him. Bet you link him with Obama who was how old at that time? (a child)...who didn't know him until they were placed on a committee together at the university. Some "Christians" can be THE most prejudiced of all people and very unforgiving IF you don't see things their way.

One question, what has John McCain ever been good at? I mean really good at?... Sure the whole POW thing was quite an experience but what, he was good at being a POW???... Come on he is a under achieving son of two admirals that had a first class ticket to politics once he was released. Entitlement is not the greatest attribute in leading a country, ask Bush. Or the rest of the dictators around the world...
At least Obama has been good at everything hes done.
