" A lot of women are suffering from the crab syndrome. If you put a bunch of crabs in a bucket and one manages to reach the top, the rest will reach out and pull the crab back into the bucket. Just because Gov Palin does not believe in killing babies, has solid values, shows concern for special needs children, is concerned about corruption and the well-being of the nation, seems to upset some women who have none of these values.

" From all the comments here I guess by unanimous decision Palin must be dumber than a rock! No problem because McCain/Palin will likely win by a landslide. Why? Many people,(democrat, independant, and republican), once inside the voting booth where nobody is looking, will NOT vote for Obama because he is black. Yes they are racist but you would never know it. Those same people can and will ignore "dumb" in the VP slot. Now you bloggers slamming Palin have something else to rant and worry about. "

So all you, "I knew her in high school, I worked with her at MTA, I saw her do the news", STOP romancing her and realize she's fluff and no stuff. Alaskans deserved more and got deceived, ignored and taken advantage of. All her ill gotten gains will come to no good. She is reaping what she sowed. The nation doesn't deserve her ineptness. I would love to see her college grades. ALL 6 colleges. "

" Well, CNN and Republican advisors are suggesting to send Sarah back to Wasilla. Her tax returns are due on the same day her debate is to take place and she has all those presents she accepted the last 2 years to explain. I would say she will be back home on October 1.
McCain played a sick game with her. He used her and he will be sending her back home in severly damaged condition.
It is cruel and I would feel really sorry for her if she were not a 'mean' girl. "

What scares these liberal lemmings is the fact that Palin's values are shared by the majority of Americans. The nonsensical drivel put forth by so-called "progressives" is rejected by most Americans whose IQ's exceed 100. "

Furthermore, assuming she and McCain win, she will then presumably drag her children and family to Washington, DC . . . keep in mind these are kids who have lived all of their lives in a little town of 8,000.

Does she really think that we want to hear predictable tripe from an obvious Democratic partisan from that socialist dump better known as New Jersey?

I love it how these pinheads from the lower-48 come in here spouting their ridiculous garbage and expect to be taken seriously.

Ms McMahon, if you want to debate Palin's merits, which are numerous, please name your forum and I will embarrass you. Otherwise, crawl back into whatever hole you came from. "

" At least Obama and Biden are willing to raise taxes on their own income brackets so they can cut them for the rest of us, while McCain and Palin want to keep their taxes low and raise them for the rest of us while eliminating employer-sponsored health plans for those lucky enough to have them. Good luck finding an insurance policy for $2500 a year and enjoy the payroll tax increase for both the employee and the employer. "

She did not speak about issues. She recited a pre-written speech in which the only purpose was to speak negatively about Barack Obama.

Palin is ignorant. She did horribly in her interview. He pick is disgraceful to women and the Republican Party.

I don't see how any intelligent, noble person could support her.

Gibbons' record isn't much better. He was told to "leave town" before Palin's visit to Carson City this weekend because his own questionable record would only highlight her record.

If questioning her is considered bullying by the media, then I suspect she'll be "crying" during the debate with Biden.

Stay home Sarah, Nevadans have had ENOUGH corrupt governing. "

I am amazed that they have not looked further to see why the Governor stated what she did about the roles of a community organizer. The first jab at Palin came from Obama who said that he had more executive experience then she did. This is false,a community organizer does not have executive experience.However, a Mayor or Governor has extensive executive experience. Look up the different aspects of gov executive and legislative jobs vs private jobs, you may learn something. "
