I guess it is what it is - the more she gets portrayed as something she''s not, the more chances she gets to serve out to self-proclaimed ***** Tina Fey a slice of humble pie. She''s going to be lathered up with humiliation and narcissistic rage on Saturday LOL . . .

Palin just further embarrassed the Government of Pigs (GOP). She is an embarrassment and her being picked for such a position is ridiculous. McSame picking her to appeal to women is an insult to every women of the US. How dare McSame patronize like that.

Hi, I''m Mrs Palin. I am governor of one of the smallest states in the Union (population wise). I''m under investigation for getting people fired that I don''t like. I can fully gut a moose in under fifteen minutes! I won a beauty contest! My 17 year old daughter is pregnant but I run on an abstinence and morals platform because it works. When 72 year old McSame gets cancer again (for the fifth time) I''ll be pushing the Button at 3:00 AM.

President Palin? YIKES LOL!!! Now THAT''s scary!

McCain graduated from the US Naval Academy 894th in a class of 899. He wrecked five jets before they finally got rid of him. Obviously he is not the brightest bulb on the tree. He was shot down by an out-of-date Soviet missile by men with no experience in anti-aircraft warfare because he did not follow the rules of evasion taught in flight school. Lets just say the man has only one oar in the water.

He disses three out of every five people on the face of the earth by referring to all Asians as "*****." He said: "I hate ***** and always will." He may be viewed as a "hero," but I do not think being shot down qualifies him for the job of president. And I don''t think he will do much for American - Asian relations should America screw up and elect this clown.

McCain''s flight instructor: "One of the worst students I ever had."

At the end of Bill Clinton''s presidency we had the highest budget surplus in our nation''s history. Now, eight years of near total Republican rule and we have an economy in the toilet, and endless war, spiraling debt, home values evaporating, record fuel, food and heating costs, massive financial institutions failing and collapsing and then being paid for by corporate welfare through taxpayer funds, and the neocons STILL try to blame the democrats. These are the facts. It''s just so incredibly pathetic.

McSame/Palin''s platform is the radical right wing agenda. McSame is no longer McCain, he''s completely reverted to type, and Palin is scary beyond all belief. She''ll be rolling around on the oval office floor speaking in "tongues". It is quite simply not possible to be patriotic American and vote for McSame. The ONLY reason anyone might want to vote for McSame is if they hate minorities and/or want to advance a radical religious agenda (Much like Iraq has done in their government).

Stop the hate. Be a patriot. Vote Obama/Biden 2008!

seeing her preformance I would say she is not only not ready,but not even close. She just mouthed soundbites all night long. May of her resposes were not even related to the questions.

I think macain lost it when he picked her as a VP canadate.

COURIC: Why did the chicken cross the road?

PALIN: You know, Katie, I said thanks but no thanks to that road to nowhere. I told congress if the chicken needed a road to cross, we''d build it ourselves. As a Mayor and Governor of Alaska I have executive experience managing chicken coops. And as you know, up here in Alaska, I can see the other side of the road from my house. And when that chicken, you know, raises its head and walks across the road into, you know, our airspace then its all about reform and lower taxes. And that''s why in a Palin/McCain administration, we like democracies and want freedom for all chickens. But we should never second-guess Israel if they wanted to send their chickens across the road. And it''s about jobs too...jobs and chickens.

It''''s no surprise that the leftist liberal loonies hate Sarah Palin.

The surprise is - that most Americans are realizing that they have nothing in common with leftist liberal loonies, and are repulsed by them.

But keep up your hate screed, liberals - you just hasten your own demise.

The only loony here is McCain. He is the one who put this obviously unqualified in a position to be the PRESIDENT of the United States. Shame, shame on you John McCain!

Look, Palin was awesome last night and once again reinvigorated McCain supporters and gave everybody an emotional lift.

Says you and 35% of debate watchers. 51% saw something different. Biden won, plain and simple. The American people are moving past the idea that they want a President or VP that they would like to have a beer with. That is what got us to where we are today.

Exactly correct. She appeals to the base, to the people that already blindly support McCain and the tired, failed Republican agenda. Meantime, independents and thinkers see beyond the cutsie look, the winks, the little Alaskan "ya know''s" and know she is not right for the country.

Reagan wasn''t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he was head and shoulders above the vapid Palin. The big difference here being that Reagan had actually spend time thinking about national and international affairs. Palin, most obviously has not until about 5 weeks ago and it shows.

Who''s name-calling? I simply find it nearly incomprehensible that any rational mind could possibly support Palin. Therefore, I must conclude that they have other reasons to support Palin. Bigotry, hatred of minorities and religious fervor come to mind. There''s a lot of that in the neocon ... err.. republican party.

Do you feel threatened that if people take a liking to her that might sway voters? Doesn''t say much about your faith in your candidate that you have to resort to name-calling after I just listed the fundamental flaws of McCain that virtually assure his defeat . . .

Look, Palin was awesome last night and once again reinvigorated McCain supporters and gave everybody an emotional lift.

But time is running out and this election IS going to turn on the economy. Republicans need to print out Obama''s platforms and print out McCain''s and then put yourselves in the shoes of the average American whose household income is around $50,000k and see which platform leaves them better off.

There''s no Monica Lewinsky fatigue this time around, there''s not as much fear of a terrorist attack or wartime violence this time around. Peoples'' emotional panic is all tied to the economy.

A true maverick can''t rely just on his past actions - McCain''s got to DO something to BE a maverick. There was a Southern blue dog Democrat swing voter telling me as much last night. People want to see somebody who touts bipartisanship reach out and bring a Democratic economic expert on board to come up with specific policies that address the growing gap between rich and poor and the decline of real wages, for example. If you believe more money isn''t the solution to improving education, then you have to demonstrate commitment to improving it with an alternative plan. Reassure people that if you''re going to repeal the tax deduction for healthcare that you''re then not going to repeal the individual tax deduction that''s supposed to replace it as part of the spending cuts, etc.

Reagan on his worst "I can''t recall" day was certainly far batter than Palin. Wishful thinking won''t change the fact that she is shallow beyond belief, and has all the folksy charm of a rattlesnake.
