- Ok Mr. wasacurrier, Here''s your accomplishment. Mr. Obama Has about 30 million people who agree with the way he wants to do things. Something the Republicans don''t care about. You want all the power, all the money without any questions and you want to be considered good Americans. You want to cut off access to the process. Limit America to only who you claim to be deserving. For so long, you''ve ignored the problems of the poor. While at the same time squandering this nations worth. Now you''ve turned on more people than you can afford and now they are going to vote you out. And you know what, it won''t be so bad. You might even benefit from a complete America.

- "The question voters should be asking is not whether they want a woman vp, or whether a woman can handle the job of vp, but whether we want more of the same as the last 7 years on economic, foreing, housing and other policies. I say ''''no way, no McCain''
Ahh, again, the same old Dem rhetoric - can you not get anything new besides the "MORE OF THE SAME PAST 7 YEARS"...getting very old!
McCain/Palin BOTH want a CHANGE in Washington and if you have done your homework you would know that both of them have either directly or indirectly attacked the establishment and intend to cause quite an upset in present-day Washington politics....
I say "stay tuned"............ it will definitely not be "more of the same".....
And again, not one DEM can respond as to something Obama has accomplished.....
STILL WAITING FOR THAT.............. - Reply to this comment
- all the fuss over Palin''s daughter''s pregancy is shrouding the important stuff. The pregnancy - that''s a family matter; what is important to get the word out about are Palin''s ''values'' - where she stands on the issues - and that''s scary: 1) she opposes abortion even in cases of incest and rape; 2) she does not believe in global warming (sound like Bush/Cheney?); 3) she wanted to burn books and have creationism taught in schools in Alaska; 4) she does not believe in *** -ed; all she wants is abstinence programs (obviously did not work for her family); 5) she is with McCain/Bush/Cheney on economic policies; 6) said she hasn''t thought much about the Iraq war (except quote about it being God''s mission) so I assume she backs McCain on how we handle war... The question voters should be asking is not whether they want a woman vp, or whether a woman can handle the job of vp, but whether we want more of the same as the last 7 years on economic, foreing, housing and other policies. I say ''no way, no McCain''.

QUOTES FROM HER PASTOR:
Jesus called us to die. You''re worried about getting hurt? He''s called us to die. Listen, you know we can''t even follow him unless you are willing to give up your life. ... I believe that Jesus himself operated from that position of war mode. Everyone say "war mode."
Kalnins has preached that the 9/11 attacks and the invasion of Iraq were part of a "world war" over the Christian faith, one in which Jesus Christ had called upon believers to be willing to sacrifice their lives.
He preaches repeatedly about the "end times" or "last days," an apocalyptic prophesy held by a small but vocal group of Christian leaders. During his appearance with Palin in June, he declared, "I believe Alaska is one of the refuge states in the last days, and hundreds of thousands of people are going to come to the state to seek refuge and the church has to be ready to minister to them." - Reply to this comment
- For the record......I SO wanted McCain to pick Romney and I was shocked when he picked Palin.
Having said that, I did my research and she is one phenomenal woman and I am thrilled she is on the ticket. - Reply to this comment

- This "Earmarks" issue is another reason why Senator McCain should remove Gov. Palin from his ticket. Senator McCain is against all "earmarks," Gov. Palin has engaged in this practice in the past. Senator McCain still has time today to announce that he is removing Gov. Palin from his ticket; the good news is that he does not need to explain why because 77% of Americans believe that Gov. Palin is hurting Senator McCain ticket;and although Senator Obama might be happy with these results, he is probably praying God for Senator McCain not to remove Gov. Palin from his ticket.

- Slanted reporting is uncalled for and I am annoyed this article leads the head of the list of news for the convention. Shame on you CBS news...and Katie too. I don''''t know why I am bothering to make a post with such poor feedback. You should all be more constructive.
PROUD TO BE REPUBLICAN: GO MCMCAIN & PALIN!!!!!!!

Palin has made many DECISIONS as Mayor and most recently as Governor OF A STATE! Trumps someone with only 143 days in the Senate ANY TIME! - Reply to this comment
- The left wing media has taken the bait in bashing "America''''s Mom", now it''''s backlash time. Poor Obama won''''t know what hit him.

- Since when is it a bias to report facts? Gimme a break - if the situation were reversed, Repubs and the media would be all over it. There is no to blame besides McCain for making a hysterically bad choice as VP.

- I am SO sick of CBS doing the slanderous advertising against the McCain/Palin ticket for the Obama camp. It is NON STOP! We get it CBS...you are straight up liberals and NEVER "report" anything! Obama doesn''''t even need to have his commercials! Just turn on CBS, NBC, CNN, or MSNBC and he has FREE advertising from the entire biased media! You didn''''t learn anything of "DanRathergate" did you?

+ report abuse
I suspect a little sweat across the brow and hot under the collar, you don''t like the truth, or is you can''t handle the truth. - Reply to this comment
- ut then they choose as their VP a person who has LESS experience (although I''''m sure being PTA president will help!), was interested in seeing Alaska secede from the union, and accepted hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks when she was mayor and governor.
I love it! Man, this is turning into a Jerry Springer episode!

- I said all this yesterday - CBS probably deleted it -
Firstm, let me say that Maggie Ramirez WAS my favorite anchor on the Early Show which I RARELY miss.
I think her interviews have been more interrogations and interviews and her bias is OBVIOUS - I''m not sure if this is her own bias or just how she was told to report it.
What I CAN say is that I feel bad for the nice people in Alaska (SEVERAL hours time difference) that agree to come on to be interviewed in the wee hours and then can''t get a word in with Maggie''s ''interrogation'' and badgering remarks. It is an embarassment!
And this morning, Governor Huckabee''s daughter who is obviously pro-Palin and lauded her as the choice, was also badgered by Ms. Ramirez because the daughter''s viewpoint was not seen as Ms. Ramirez would have liked to have it ''spoken'' on live TV.
Guess I''ll have to watch Fox News in the mornings now because with all of this media bias on CBS, NBC, that is the only place I can find "fair AND balanced" reporting.............
GO McCAIN/PALIN!!!! What a refreshing ticket this is! I feel rejuvinated...... - Reply to this comment
- Sooo...let me get this straight. The Republican Party railed against Obama for a lack of experience, being unpatriotic, and on earmarks.
But then they choose as their VP a person who has LESS experience (although I''m sure being PTA president will help!), was interested in seeing Alaska secede from the union, and accepted hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks when she was mayor and governor.
I love it! Man, this is turning into a Jerry Springer episode! - Reply to this comment
