Lewis, if you think her questions were tough, you need to get a grip. She softballed her over and over and Sarah couldn''t even answer the simplist of questions, choosing to circle the question with inane and mostly off-topic answers that never answered the question.

Wait til Gwen Ifill gets her and actually asks questions that demand actual answers.

And why, if katie is sooooooo tough, why doesn''t she face the easy news media? the NY Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune.

Oh, how we need Tim Russert. He''d make it all make sense.. And why did your boy, Johnny Old skip Letterman???? Duh.. of course, we know.. He would have been hammered by Letterman. Why don''t you go visit Dave. He''s not even a journalist.. Oh wait, you are!! I totally forgot. Oh wait, you were a beauty pageant girl, a sports reporter, and a mayor who hired an assistant to do all the work. Had to get more reading in?

Just sad.. Fortunately, Johnny Olds blunders this week has caused his poll numbers to start sliding! And trust me, your schtick might work with a small number of country folk, but the people in NY, DC, LA and other metropolitan areas won''t buy your country girl bs..

You''re about to be toasted..

Dead debater walkin.

Okay. I don''t know what happened to my previous comment, and I think this site is biased, or it would have gone through. It''s so obvious who Couric is voting for in October. I''m ashamed of her interview of Palin. It wasn''t so much about what she can do for our country, as it was a liberal nit-picking on Palin. Why is she asking Palin, several times, what her stance is on the morning after pill or abortion? Palin made it clear that she is for sanctifying life, that should be enough of an answer. There are no clear cut answers in the questions that she gave, and Couric knows this. I am hoping others are smart enough to see through all of the biasly framed questions. I am proud of Palin for standing up for her beliefs in front of media that makes fun of moral choices. The media should be ashamed. I believe there is a God out there, and that he is very disappointed in our media for how they make fun of people standing up for right choices. Also, with the questions on Evolution and Creationism being taught in public schools: They ARE both theories, where we are sitting (at least). To say that they aren''t is to be very conceited. You better hope that there isn''t a God out there, because if there is you''ve put yourself above him.

Dear Sarah, you are about as dumb as a bag of rocks.

Your vague, inept, pointless, weird, incorrect, adlibs are sad excuses for answers.

We all know you don''t have an original thought in your head.

What I wish Katie asked you, when you said your story was an open book, would have taken hours.

Why do you support killing wolves?
Why did you promise to cooperate in firing Walt Monegan and then changed your mind when you got tapped for being VP?
IS it true you gave Johnny Oldman a woodie?
IS it true your husband is a co-govenor?
Why did 2000 people rally in opposition to you on Saturday?

I have hundreds more.. lets chat over tea and a wolfburger. Oh, I''m sorry, you just slaugher them so you can kill more moouse. Silly me.

You will be slaughtered yourself on Thursday. You won''t have any help on stage, they won''t let Johnny Old be there with you. And they know you''ll likely try to wear an earpiece to get cognigent answers, although even those will be McCainized.

And is it just me, but does your pal, Johnny Old only run ads that attack Obama? Obama runs ads that state his policy without even mentioning the old codger.

You are sad. Go back to Alaska and face your constituents. Then come back in 8 years.

I think it''s clear who Couric is planning on voting for in November. It''s so obvious by how much badgering she''s done to Palin in her two interviews with her. Some of these questions don''t have any clear answers, and I think she knows this. I read between the lines, and I see an HONEST person. She''s not going to say something, one way or the other, that she doesn''t COMPLETELY believe in. If she''s going to be that tough on Palin, she should be equaly as tough with Biden and with Obama. This is ridiculous. I am hoping others are smart enough to see what the media is doing. I am proud of Palin, in her honesty. I am ashamed of our liberal media, who seem to make fun of people who have the guts to stand up for what''s moral. Palin''s right, we SHOULD stand up more for the sanctity of life - - whether that''s popular or not, I don''t care. It''s the right thing. As far a evolution and christianity being taught in our schools - - Palin''s absolutely right: they''re both theories. If you don''t think so, are you brave enough to say that if there is a possibility that a God exists? I''m not. Don''t be so concieted.

Well golly, she sure was her usual non-answering self. They made McCain baby-sit her this time so that he could protect her if she got in trouble. How patronizing.

Oh boy, Gwen is going yo have her hands full.
