Palin Is Ready? Please.

I am an impartial foreign observer.Democracy is a wonderful prevliege we all seek to enjoy,the US is seen as the front runner for the Western World The sad fact is th Village Idiot can rise to power.But I fear for an old man a other of a young family trying to lead the world I think the US owes it to the World to come up with a better option

Hi Fareed --

I agree with your evaluation of Gov. Palin's readiness for the office of V.P. But, what can we do to encourage Sen. McCain to ask her to leave the ticket? I guess this is really a reason to vote for the Democrats in 2008.

Swansonss do you need a Waaaaaaaabulance?? with that whine? Sheesh. Foxnews has been in the tank for Bush and Republicans for years. Since 9-11, our media was too scared sh*tless to be balanced or even tell the truth that Bush was/is an idiot. That liberal bias is only balance you are reading/hearing. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN are finally growing a pair and questiong the last eight years of Bush's bull.

Poor, poor, extreme rightwing Repubs just cannot see the fact that Sarah Palin truely is incompetent for the "HIGHER ECHELONS" of public service. A small-town mayor and a small-population governor who has not kept up with world affairs (by her own admission) and with the lower 48 is selected by a senile, 72 year old "maverick" and you people think she's ready for VP? McCain met Palin ONE time and then met her a SECOND time at one of his many homes and offered her the VP position. McCain did not even KNOW this person!! There are many Republican women in government positions who are 100 times more knowledgeable of every phase and factor in governing, yet McCain bypassed all of them for this woman. Go figure!! Guess he picked her because she once competed in a beauty pageant. His first wife was a beautiful model, his second wife, Cindy, was a rodeo queen, guess he also wanted a beauty pageant contestent! Remember, McCain VOLUNTEERED Cindy to enter the Buffalo Chip Beauty Contest where the women dress sparsily?? Remember he said he would be very proud to have Cindy as fist lady and a beauty queen at the same time?? Guess since Cindy did not enter that contest, McCain decided he would pick Pilan as his VP so that if he won the election he could then be proud to boast she was his veep and beauty queen! Think about it. I tried to get into McCain's head and this is the only reason I could formulate as to WHY he would pick such an incompetent person to be one heartbeat away from the presidency. Please try to remember that when McCain first introduced Sarah, he described her as "MY PARTNER AND MY SOULMATE". Again, please think about this, what SANE male candidate would describe his female runningmate in those terms??

Media is so unfare to McCain/Palin, wondering why. Is this country still Democracy? Sick of MSN/MSNC, their daily work is doning free campaign for Obama, fool the American people. Sick of MSN?MSNNBC

It's sad, truly sad to see you spew the same anchient Republican rumors that were put out early in the campaign. The "Hussein" Obama bit which is supposed to make us believe he's a terrorist, the not putting his hand on his heart (see Snopes.com) and the flag pin, which he only skipped wearing a few times and has nothing to do with you patriotism. Are you wearing your flag pin right now? I actually feel sorry for you that you're so easily convinced. Try thinking for yourself- you might find it refreshing.

Hey wertheworld, Putin still runs Russia. Medvedev is a figure head. Go read up the latest analysis from his invasion of Georgia.

Recent poll summary from TMP listed below.... BIG Obama bounce post debate..... The majority of Americans see what McCain is... an angry country club vetran and cancer survivor whose better days are clearly behind him. I respect his service to his country but he's not the answer. Six years of GOP rule has bankrupt the country.

TMP
With one new day of post-debate data within the three-day tracking polls, Barack Obama's lead is growing.

??? Gallup: Obama 50%, McCain 42%, with a ±2% margin of error. Yesterday, Obama was up 49%-44%.

??? Rasmussen: Obama 50%, McCain 44%, with a ±2% margin of error, unchanged from yesterday.

??? Hotline/Diageo: Obama 47%, McCain 42%, with a ±3.2% margin of error, compared to a 48%-43% Obama lead yesterday.

??? Research 2000: Obama 50%, McCain 43%, with a ±3% margin of error. Yesterday, Obama was up 49%-43%.

Adding these polls together and weighting them by sample sizes, Obama is ahead by a margin of 49.7%-42.9%, up from a lead yesterday of 49.3%-43.8%.

These numbers entirely span the time since John McCain announced his quasi-suspension of his campaign to deal with the financial crisis, and they include one day of post-debate data. And it looks like that period of time has been very favorable for Barack Obama.

Jojousa, the least you can is give sensible feed back. Are you one of those who can't call a spade a spade? Even a child could see that Governor Palin genuinely messed up in this interview. She was pathetic, she was embarassing, she is simply not ready, her addition to the ticket was simply political. What does Mr Zakaria's birth place have to do with this? Hey guess what, I am a republican and I can call a spade a spade.

What is this. The bloggers don't even know that Putin is no longer the president of Russia. The president of Russsia is Medvedev. So much for foreign affairs.

Seems to me that Sen. Obama family represents the most stable and truely inspired vision of the American Family . More so than the twice married Senator Mccain or Palin the mother who puts her own special needs newborn ,preganant daughter and children's lives in the hands of nannies and government appointed yes men so her and her hubby can "unblinkingly,
" yet niavely" accept a job way over Sarah's head to satisfy her egotistic ambitions.

Senator McCain made the wrong choice. His camp thought that this woman would both stimulate the Hillary voters and the republican base. The truth is undeniable; she is not prepared to lead. She is not the least bit "worldly" and knows little else about the world other than her home state of Alaska. The Republicans know this, but they have to make the best of McCain's choice. You certainly wouldn't expect any loyal republican to say it was a bad choice- they're going to tow the company line and do it with a smile. They???re clearly putting the needs of their party ahead of the needs of this country, but it is typical of the current Republican "win at all costs" strategy, which brought them to power in Washington.

A mindless Glide you are. Sitting in a POW camp is tough service worthy of commendation, but it does not, in and of itself, add to one's qualifications to lead. As Bill Maher noticed of Palin almost immediately, she has a small mind, meaning that she does not view issues globally. The Couric interview demostrate that Mr. Maher had her pegged from the start. And now we see that she puts faith in witch doctors!! But even more bothersome is McCain's recklessness in having chosen her. McCain's age and his bouts with cancer make it all too likely that we would face a Palin presidency. That risk, frankly, cannot be taken.

Let me make this brief. There would not be any controversy if Sarah Palin were qualified.

Let me make this brief. There would not be so much controversy about Sarah Palin if she had substance.
