- Who cares about what kind of newspapers she reads? Only you Katie...We want to hear about the war, the economy, health care, everyday things that affect us everyday people. Books, magazines and newspapers are the least of anyone concern right now. You wasted her time and mine. You are suppose to bring out the issues for us - the public- not be intimadated by a very attractive accoplished women Gov. Palin.

- ?...any of you reading and commenting on this version of the interview ever click and read the un-edited version?? There is a mighty big difference. I wouldn''t take any of you as "cliff note" readers.
I just noticed myself that comments to the same interview post on different pages depending on which version you read. Wonder Why?? Geee... maybe if we insure that those who only want to hear our side of the story don''t cross communicate w/ those who want to hear the whole story then we''ll have a better chance.
I remember this kind of behavior in high school or maybe it was 7th grade when it was cool to disregard your peer%u2019s b/c they weren''t "IN" with your crowd.
How being "IN" has proved priceless... I mean worthless. lol - Reply to this comment
- The use of the term "waffling" (see posting of terrywaite12, Oct. 2) is a familiar refrain of conservatives who wish to argue that anyone who changes a point of view or opinion in the face of new evidence is somehow weak or not to be trusted. On the contrary, this trait should be viewed as a sign of flexible intelligence, which has been in critically short supply in the Executive office for the last eight years. McCain and Palin are "straight shooters" - they are rigid, inflexible, and represent the type of type of intolerance to come to the table that cannot be a part of America''s foreign policy. To think of McCain, who does not believe we should be at the table, and a "soccer mom" in charge of nuclear arms treaties in truly frightening indeed.

- The idea that Sarah Palin could be our next potential president scares the hell out of me and frankly...after this interview and tonights vice presidential debate I don''t know why anyone would still vote McCain/Palin.
Given McCain%u2019s age, the odds of Palin becoming our next president are too high to take a chance! During her interview with Katie Couric: she didn''t answer the question asked about the ''drill baby drill'' slogan, for some reason (?) couldn%u2019t name one newspaper or magazine she reads and didn%u2019t give a straight answer on the issue of abortion. When she had something to say during the debate tonight it was either vague, a standard cookie-cutter answer or a complete avoidance of the question!! She made several comments like ''oh now here ya go again, Joe, talkin about the past...'' when he brought up the FAILED policies of the Bush Administration but yet when Biden DIRECTLY asked her to provide solid examples of how John McCain''s views differ from George Bush%u2019s she dodged the question! In fact she stated early on that she was going to say what she wanted to whether it answered the question or not. Yeah, it''s great that you''re a ''hockey mom'' and have a big family, but I want to hear SPECIFIACLLY what you will bring to the table as our next vice president or...president!! Anything?? Well in the event she does become president, she can just choose to deal with the issues she knows a thing or two about and avoid all the stuff she doesn''t... - Reply to this comment
- Dear Ms. Couric, Can you please ask Mrs. Palin why she''s Pro-Choice while claming to be Pro-Life? Yes Pro-Choice because she believes a woman has a right to abort a fetus if her life is in danger, meanwhile rape and incest is forbidden even during the 1st trimester. Is that why she had an amniocentisis done? Anyone who is a real Pro-Lifer does not believe in abortion even if her life is in danger; Especially someone who believes in god so deeply as she claims she does. Preventing a natural death by god is bascially being afraid to die and go to the heaven they claim to believe is waiting for them. Why else did she do an amniocentisis? To find out if her child was going to be deformed? Well why not wait for what god has given you instead of using science which she does not believe in to give her a way out of god''s naturally calling!
THANK YOU. PLEASE ASK THIS VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION. - Reply to this comment

- I believe that Sarah Palin and John McCain are both "straight shooters". You may not agree with everything that they say, but you know where they stand. This is not true for Barack Hussein Obama who has mastered the art of waffling. After the VP debate tonight, I am even more assured that Palin is a genuine, passionate spokesperson for America and for family values. I believe that she does have experience on energy issues and will bring a "fresh point of view" to the White House. I am not convinced that McCain-Palin will be more of the same. I do believe that Democrats and Republicans both want change. However there is a silent majority that is rising up among us ready to voice their opinions on the true heart of America. The heart that beats to ensure our freedom, our family values, our independence, our work ethic. The media can spin it any way that they want. Middle-class America is not represented in the very biased media. We have a voice. Yes, we are tired of mistakes made in this administration. I believe that McCain-Palin has more of a barometer on what I feel is best for our country.

- I%u2019m a true Republican voter. Seeing how McCain is reacting, he lost all my esteem. It%u2019s true that McCain lacks wisdom and intelligence in his contradictory positions and ideas. Impulsion, anger, lack of self-control and agitation are not good qualities for a great leader. And that%u2019s McCain.He never wants to listen to people.
Now, McCain is old. He gonna die soon. It''s too late for him to lead and to leave the heritage of the high management of the U.S: a strongest economic, industrial and military power in the world in the hands of Sarah Palin, the most inexperienced woman in the history of the American presidencies.
Sarah Palin is playing the "theater" and the "emotional" by always talking about her children. One is pregnant and the other one, sick. Even an ordinary street%u2019s comedian can play that game to get compassion from people. This has nothing to do with managing a large and powerful country like the United States of America.
Sarah is not ready to lead, even if she could have be able to memorize all the arguments written for her by the McCain team and Republicans for this debate against Joe Biden. Sarah Palin is empty and without substance. That%u2019s the danger for the USA. We need to stop that. - Reply to this comment
- What is the worse thing that VP *** has done? Palin answer, "The duck hunting incident." Can you say BIMBO? What about re-writing the constitution? What about outing Valerie Plame? What about letting CEO''s write our energy policy? What about lying to the American Public? The list goes on, and on, and on. Can you say BIMBO?

- It doesn''t matter how Palin does tonight. It is too late. Now we know she is just saying what she was told to say at debate camp. Now, we will never know what she believes. I''m voting Obama/Biden.
McCain/Palin is way too scary. - Reply to this comment
