Comments on: Katie Couric's Notebook: Palin's Big Night

[mama68-2009]

McCain could not be more insulting to women.

Her speech was nothing short of catty name-calling--is this his opinion of what women want to hear? I care about issues, not her husband''s snow machine races.

Palin has broken no glass ceilings. She''s simply bypassed it via a private elevator reserved for pageant winners.

I am troubled by Palin as a choice for VP. She is clearly underqualified for the position.She is subjecting her daughter to scrutiny most mothers I know would not do and as for a journalism major in college I would hope that she would understand how journalism and the media works when you run for PUBLIC office. With that said, I would never vote for a woman that would jeperdize the peace of mind of her family for political gain. Her speech last night was pathetic and showed me that she lacked intelligence and self accomplishment. All she was capable of doing is saying catty comments about her opponent to detract from her own lack of credability.

I think McCain picked Sarah Palin because he saw what a difference she has made in Alaska, they love her because she came in and made change...the kind that you can see..well, let people try to trash her...she is a real person...like most of the American people that she will serve... ask the state of Alaska....

Katie, My question to the news media is why are your questions about Sarah Palin sounding like they are from the 1970''s? Have we women not earned the right to be whatever we choose? Is that not what women have been fighting for? Even Senator Biden this morning said that your coverage of Sarah Palen was "sexist". It''s sad when the opposition has to stand up and say that families of candidates should be off-limits.

Palin is great, for the people..if your own people love you, you must be great...I love her, she is for the people...

I had a few postings on CBS'' other blogs after the terrible actions and coverage CBS and Katie Couric "provided" on the RNC on Tuesday night. Katie since has seemed to have toned it down a bit last night and somewhat swayed away from her personal liberal agenda, hateful lambasting of every single Republican person that she interviewed that evening. I watched the coverage last night on CBS to see if it could match or top the ridiculousness of the former night, and I didn''t, luckily hear too much from ''Cutie'' Couric. What I did hear was our future Vice President take it to the liberal media and the Democrats. After listening to Sarah Palin and what she has accomplished and what she stands for, I could see Governor Palin become our first woman President (sorry Hillary :)) in 8 years when John McCain it termed out. Her speaking was incredible, but the main thing is, it wasn''t just a speech, it''s what she believes and what she wants to do to help America. After her speech, I have just one question for "Cutie": Do you like apples Katie...? Well how''d you like them apples?!!

Dearest kight67i

Please don''t try to convince me that McCain chose her because she was right for the job. Please. He chose her to try to win. No blinders on here buddy. Take a step back and try not to be so innocent. Ciao

TO scoutfirenze
maybe it IS to hard to swallow that gender bias is rampant in the democratic party, HILLARY WAS YOUR MOST EXPERIENCED CANDIDATE.

Pathetic! McCain only came up with Palin as a Political move to throw us women a bone. He never even thought of her until a week ago. For me the bone smells fake and untrustworthy. I wouldn''t eat it if I were starving to death.

So, the obvious question since Sarah was announced is where are the Clintons. Not a peep, she must be seething, and she should. the liberal press, and the democrats, turned their backs on her. They tried to discredit her also, because of her gender, because of her mind, and because her opponent Obama is absolutely lacking in resume. She knew it first and they shunned her. Let''s really put it out there, OBAMA WAS AFRAID OF WHAT BILL WOULD DO SO CLOSE TO THE POWER, He is not strong enough to fight that fight. The democratic party (males) who speak of the future with a forked tongue,are truly the good old boys. It takes a truly strong male to stand by a woman,( McCain and Mr.Palin)one who is not afraid of what she brings to the table. The democratic women knew it also, they must feel like they are trying win the right to vote again!!!!!
