McCain's Tricky Calculation

Raul C; You sound like the elitist that the Obama camp represent.... "Editor of the Harvard Law Review versus Beauty Queen"? Sure, dismiss every thing Gov. Palin have ever accomplished and subjectify her just as a beauty queen. I guess you are worried; so worry she has more spunck in her little town governor being than your editor of the harvard law review has and, no wonder --- to quote/use your own words "People are seriously considering that comparison between Palin and Obama as realistic and worthwhile discussion" as to people comparing Omaba to McCain -- apparently, Obama is not in the same league as McCain.

Alter is a liberal soros-funded hack.

Her nomination is a joke and an insult to women. McCain thinks he can pull any woman out of obsurity and get women to vote for her?

Alter - you couldn't be more wrong. What ever happened to reporters who write about facts and leave their opinions to themselves? When people question Obama's lack of experience you defend it now you try to eviserate Palin for same. Being a 20-month Governor is better experience than being a community rabble-rouser and 18-month Senator. What you know about McCain's military background but failed to mention because it would fly in the face of your liberal screed is that he CHOSE not to be promoted to a "flag-level" officer when he retired from the Navy because he did not need the financial retirement trappings that come with that rank, NOT because he couldn't get promoted. And as far as puff-ball interviews - how can you even go there?!!? That's all Obama has had in the last year and a half that is when he and his handlers even allow an unscripted interview - which is to say twice! You're a clown.

Bet Palin would been the DEER in the headlights if the teleprompter went down LOL ,shes got no more reason of thinking shes able to be president/v.president ,then the republican party acutally talking bout issuses besides 9/11 how many times you gota try and strike fear to win a vote people get a new catch pharse BUSH ran that one in the dirt

What kind of reporting is this? Mentioning that he got 18 million votes in a democratic primary runoff? Then mentioning she got a few votes for Mayor (an actual office, not a runoff for a spot on a ticket)? Was she not voted into the governership? What did she get, a couple hundred votes there too? Come on, do us all a favor and do some analysis and fact finding. Leave the opinions to the bloggers.

Last night all I heard was let's drill and drill which will get us a few more years worth of oil and then what? I heard all about how McCain wants to put a nuclear reactor in my back yard. I heard about more tax cuts when we are spending 12million a day in Iraq and our national debt is climbing at an alarming rate. I heard nothing about helping the middle class (you know those of us making less than 5 million per year). I heard nothing about how to grow the ecconomy, I heard nothing about turning around global warming. I heard absolutely no new or fresh ideas.

It's hillarious to hear the republicans spin Palin as fresh and young. I guess when your canidate just turned 72 years old you get desperate and look for any young republican women even if she is a nobody from the backwoods of Alaska with a mullet.

That was the oldest and whitest audience I have ever seen last night. We all know that the republican party is not exactly the party of inclusion though didn't we? I was also at the Excel Energy Center early this year for a Springsteen concert and I have to say that it is a pretty small venue.

Sarah Palin could read very well from a teleprompter which is what I would have expected from a former sportscaster. However she clearly stands for everything I don't. Prolife, anti-enviroment, tax cuts for the wealthy, pro nuclear energy; who wants a nuclear reactor in their back yard? We do not need another republican looking out for the wealthy and the special interests.

Obama: 130 "Present"
means that he didn't agree with everything that was in the bill and most of the other dems voted that way do to underlying republican ways of abuse of power in the bill EffYou and great name by the way shows same way I feel towards the republican party and all the views and bet took you all night to come up with that name

Marlowy,your comment about her being a "crack whore"because she has five kids,the last handicapped,is exactly what is going to give the Republicans the election this year.Yo usound like the eliteist left wing media,and remind Americans what they despise about the networks .You are a low life dirt bag

October15 2007 - Karen Breslau - Newsweek - Palin greatest thing since the invention of sliced bread http://www.newsweek.com/id/42534 - Now shes an incompetent putz - This is so specious it is almost laughable.

Reading over the post for the Republican side(fools) ,I hope you all just keeping watching one sided FOX news and keep throwing your lies and garbage around like they are doing at the RNC this week and on
NOV 4 this will all be over with the best man Obama as the new president .

In an overcrowded world, I believe Sarah Palin having 5 kids, the last with special needs, is as irresponsible as any crack whore. She kept the earmark money she tries to say she opposed. She's just a Barbie doll to get the female votes. No Substance.

Sarah Palin wants creationism taught in schools, she wants to ban books, she wants to revoke women's right to choose, she has a history of abuse of power in her short term as governor of Alaska, she has already lied to the American people about her stand on the bridge to no where. Taking $430 million dollars and then saying no to the bridge when she found out Alaska would have to come up with several millions dollars is hardly saying thanks, but no thanks to the bridge. She also kept the $430 million. So, Sarah Palin has the executive experience that the republicans are looking for. Extreme views, total disregard for American people thinking for themselves, disrespect for others who have differing views and an arrogant fight first, use force to get your way approach. She is the perfect compliment to John McCain's adverse to the real needs of America point of view. She does not represent the American people. She is a mother, she has a familty and she is a liar with views reminscent of the 1600s "witchhunts". Burn anyone who does't agree with me mentality! This view represents Bush/Cheney/McCain---IT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE INTELLIGENCE AND COMMITMENT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE ARE NOT A NATION OF WHINERS, AND OUR ISSUES ARE NOT JUST IN OUR MINDS.
