" 1st John is erratic, now Palin?!?? She spends 2 weeks stumping that Barack pals around w/ terrorists & we should explore this & question his judgement. Now CNN reports... "Palin said that if she had her way, the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee would not be flooding battleground states with automated phone calls tying Barack Obama to former radical William Ayers, as they have done over the last week." Oh...that's right. This didn't poll well, so now you're on "he's a socialist" kick. Can't wait to see what you cook-up next week. "

" Palin Shows Nation Real Sarah?...She still isn't talking to media. From CNN: "McCain, Sen. Joe Biden, Barack & Michelle Obama, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Cindy McCain & even McCain's 95-year-old mother & Palin's Father have all done interviews with CNN, sharing their thoughts on the campaign. But Palin? Not a whisper. Tina Fey has actually done more interviews about playing Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin has done about being Sarah Palin!" Yet she stumps complaining we don't know Barack who's been on the trail for 20 months and done 20+ debates? What's she afraid of and/or hiding? "

" Although Palin is from Alaska, her lack of character,falseness and her refusal to reputiate the racist remarks in the rallie she speaks at are not a true representation of Alaska. NO WAY!

If something was to tragically to Senator Obama (God Forbid) as a result of hate, would Palin and McCain have take responsibility and or have remorse? Or will they deep down inside not even care? It makes you wonder.

Have we truly moved forward from the 1960's? I wonder? It's hard to believe that I may stand alone on my questions and views.... "

" I found this online newspaper last night and just had to laugh. I am from a small town too (Helena, Montana) but even our newspaper, The Independent Record, is much better than this rag. And while I am an Independent, I do agree with the vast majority of bloggers who are embarrassed by Palin. I am not sure whether I'll vote at all in November, but I can say this in all honesty - there's no way I'd vote for McCain/Palin. They're a joke. "

I'm American, and I can see where we have become a laughing stock, it's troubling and sad to say the least. Maybe the upside of that will be that we can all take stock of who we are and what we want from our leaders, vote accordingly, and come back a stronger, kinder nation. "

My Grandma always said you're known by the company you keep. I look at Obama and his buddies like the Leftist terrorist Ayers. Then I look at the TV interviews with Palin friends and supporters up in Alaska and I think, "these are the decent, solid, salt-of-the-earth people that are the backbone of this country!" "

" Ever notice that when Sarah gets on a stage where she feels she is the center of attention - she thrives. She revels in the adulation and then the ego goes into overdrive -thinking she can get away with saying anything. Put her one on one with Charles Gibson or Katie Couric and her confidence melts faster than a snowball in July. Without the crowds to cheer her on, saying what she thinks she wants them to hear, she simply cannot cope when confronted with actual issues. Pride rears its head full of Brains to Nowhere. "

Not reverting to your cue cards and repeating the same tired mantras over and over again. She might be a great Governor that seems to be questionable when even the hometown folks have many negative things to say. Then y'all talk about Biden's 23 years in the Senate. McCain has been there for 21 and was in the House of Reps. from 1983. Look up Keating Five! "

What kind of a grade would have you gotten in school if you told your teacher you were not going to answer the questions? IF she would ever be able to meet the Queen of England, won't Alaska be proud to hear she answered the Queen by "YUP YABETCHA" "

a "debate" is a structured event, covering "known" topics in which they prepare their notes.
the troopergate investigation is a witch hunt perpetrated by the evil, deceitful demorats, even Hollis French himself admitted to a conflict of interest in this, and the "Democrat" judge ignored the admitted "facts" of this situation.

" Can someone tell me why Gov. Palin would deliberately use private email accounts to conduct government business in an effort to keep some communication out of the public purview? And can someone tell me what some Alaskans thinks that is just fine and dandy? And why Palin was once a willing participate in the troopergate investigation and now hides behind the McCain in denying the people of Alaska the opportunity to know how Gov. Palin represents them? And if she is willing to act this way at home, what might we expect in D.C.? Makes me wonder. "

" Some other pointers
1) Try to answer the question rather than reverting to memorized talking points.
2) Keep your commitment and participate in the troopergate investigation
3) Stop perpetuating lies about your opponent, even then McCain wants you to.
4) Go home, Wasilla misses you and so does your newborn, remember him?
5)Stop the folksy "say it ain't so, Joe" it is embarrassing and demeaning to all of us.
6) Run on your record, your opinions and positions, not your beauty queen record. You are a candidate, not a contestant.
7) Stop seeking more power "

Repugs are spinning an association to ACORN on Obama, where? Fox. They are accusing him of voter fraud. When in fact they have been found to have stole the election in 2004. So in order to deflect the fall out, so they don't look guilty, they have come out with this voter fraud bs concerning Obama.

You jump in the middle of something you know nothing about...yeah I say that's being a sheep!

" It's a sad day when our VP debate has to be handled with care, gender and nicety! What has Palin done to politics? Down graded and humiliated our honest, educated society. Her immature winking and smirk made me ill.

She was so scripted, if she was interupted she'd of had to start from word one. Moose in the headlights is an understatment. She's all show. Here in Alaska she's a bully. She's next qualified to run NASA because Alaska has the big dipper on the state flag!!! Get real Palin "

" As stated on another thread here, Sarah crammed and put on a good show. That's not easy, and good for her. But...she's still doesn't have the skills and intellect to be VP. You can't teach that in 5 weeks or even 5 months. He's reckless and out of touch. She's simply not at all qualified. Beyond the folksy talk, you have to know what's going on. She doesn't. I will be in PA this weekend working hard to register voters and shut down McCain/Palin. "

Lets applaud them for their bravery. "




AKBoy30 wrote on Oct 3, 2008 8:40 AM:

" Somehow, when a candidate is in a debate, after all these years I still expect them to answer the questions they are asked. I was flabbergasted that Sarah just openly declared that she was going to talk about whatever she wanted and wasn't going to answer the questions she was asked. As a former debater myself, I would have been kicked off the stage for pulling a stunt like that. I want to know what she is going to do about the economy, healthcare, jobs, education, and all the other topics she refused to speak on. "

THE FRONTIERSMAN offers good advice to Palin. I would add: too much folksiness can result in self-parody--just as force-fed data produces that "cognitive dissonance" which we hear about in the "elitist" tomes.

My cringes have been put away until the next over-scrutinized soundbite.

like Palin said: "I've only been doing this for 5 weeks" and she kicked Bidens tail in the debate.
if she can do this in just 5 weeks, what do you think she can do in 4 years?
i'd say give her a chance, i couldn't be worse than the senate majority of democrats we have, that have ruined our economy that we have now "

There are at least as many, and from what we can tell by the polls, a growing number of people think "Sarah" is obnoxious, annoying, and worse yet, scary. She is obviously not up to the task of VP. Her vapid, folksy manner may play well some places, but to a lot of people she comes off as annoying, vapid and dangerous. She has thus far benefited from being a big fish in a small pond! "

" I do have to give her credit. A person has to know her limitations and she clearly knows to stay on three or so threadbare talking points.

Still, she didn't make a fool of herself. I thought Biden made his best point quite inadvertently. When Palin was going on with the phony "Joe Sixpack", "hockey mom" cliches and talking down to the public, Biden made the point about knowing what it is to be a single father after his wife's traffic death. He's carried the weight. Sarah hasn't. "




L Frances wrote on Oct 3, 2008 4:35 AM:

She made her points, seemed down to earth, made a transplanted wasillian proud and your comments (spellings) show that she is so right about the need for improvements in education. All Biden did was point out Bush's failures while Palin pointed out their position to change politics on both sides of the aisle. You did great Sarah and you made Wasilla proud! "




Thats the BIG question wrote on Oct 2, 2008 11:04 PM:

" What exactly is HER message? What qulifies her to be VP of the United States besides her winning ways.

And I'm sorry but I found that the shout out, the winking , the hocky mom /joe six pack pandering went way over the top.

In fact I concluded that she must have been counceled on exploiting our feelings with that "hocky mom" crap so we would identify with her... but in the end it made her seem phoney and patronizing to me. Not down home, not at all authentic, not one of us. "
