- This is a nightmare: Palin will act as pResident if something happens to McSame. If McPain has an operation (very likely) or dies (possible), this religious wacko will be pResident. OMG!

- Just in, the McCain/Palin staffer who claimed a black man assaulted her, has now confessed to making up the story in an effort to stir up racism and try to swing Ohio votes to McCain.
It saddens me how many times we hear this hate coming from supporters of McCain and Palin. We have seen this hate far too often at Palin''s rallies. - Reply to this comment
- Sarah, honey, you would be taken much more seriously if you could just once have an original thought and not mention Obama''s name.

- What''s next? Palin is a political opportunist of the highest order. Fraud. I am a teacher and the father of a special education student. She knows not what she is talking about with regards to public education and special needs children.
When is this going to be over? - Reply to this comment
- This is nonsense. There are many different types of trusts and the law is very complex. Is she talking about a non-profit charitable trust? Obama''s plan will have no effect on such an investment vehicle. Of course no details, just blurring gibberish from Palin. I would need to here from a true expect before I could give any credence to what she says. This looks like a red herring.

- It is obvious that a woman will never be in the white house as the president or vice-president. this is a sexist country, and there is no respect for woman. The only reason Hillary came close is because she probably takes male hormone injections and grew her own balls, and no can tell whether Hillary or Albright is a man or woman.

- Hopefully there will be more than her usual talking points and generalities.
It would be great to get answers to some real questions:
1. Do you support increased funding to and the expansion of Medicaid Waiver programs to ensure that people with special needs can live and work in the community?
2. Do you support making certain that all services are portable, across the states and counties - that people don%u2019t have to get at the end of the line when they move to another state?
3. Will you increase funding to special education, and improve special ed programs so that less parents have to opt out of sending their special needs children to public school because homeschooling is better than no schooling?
4. If McCain were President, and he were to propose drastic cuts in Medicaid, what kind of advocacy would you do for special needs parents to prevent funding cuts that would put us back to the 1960%u2019s?
5. Are you in favor of spending more time, money & attention on the horrific status of mental health treatment and services across the nation?
6. Would you be in favor of ensuring that services are provided to people with disabilities who need them, in spite of their IQs not being in the right range? Specifically, how would you address this problem?
7. If Roe v. Wade were overturned, what special programs might you institute to support the high influx new parents of special needs children who might not have otherwise given birth? - Reply to this comment
- Palin promises to fully fund this program. Does this not fly in the face of John McCain''s pledge to freeze spending?

- Palin is the biggest spender we''ve ever seen in politics.
Who is McCain''s highest paid staffer for the first half of October? Surprise, it''s Palin''s makeup artist.
Cost of Palin''s makeup artist for 2 weeks?
$22,800
Cost of 45 days of Palin shopping with the RNC credit card?
$150,000
Laughter after Palin repeatedly claims she cuts costs?
Priceless
With cost cutting like Palin, America will be bankrupt. Oh wait, Bush has already driven us to bankruptcy. I guess Palin''s just more of the same. - Reply to this comment
- Another example of Palin pandering and the gullible''s sucking it up.
What would be more valuable is assistance for special needs PEOPLE, across the board.
Stop playing on American citizen''s heartstrings and flashing your wide-eyed baby around. When the baby is no longer a child, he''s going to continue to need assistance - and when he''s no longer a child, he''s no longer cute and cuddly and becomes "someone else''s problem".
There''s plenty of legislature in existence for special needs children. Let''s see some REAL assistance and legislature and work put in for special needs PEOPLE, young and old. - Reply to this comment
- Palin''s policy announcement promises with no plan therefor no policy followed by a rehash of the McCain / Palin disproven misrepresentations of the Obama Tax Plan. Clearly just more of the same negative campaigning from McCain / Palin where policy statements include no real policy statements at all.

- How can people take this woman seriously? How can she say the things she does? Does she really believe that saying something makes it true? There''s a narcissism here that is scary. Investigations show she abuses her power by trying to get that Trooper fired...her response is that she''s been absolved. Hard facts show that $150,000 was spent on clothes, she denies it. Over and over she does this sort of thing. Is she an idiot, or does she think WE are???

The Supreme Court ruled againist Special Needs families placing children in private schools without the consent of the District in 2005. The Supreme Court interpreted Title VI, the Special Education federal mandate. See website above. The Mc Cain/Palin plan disagrees with the conservative judges in this regard. I have a Special Needs Trust for my 24 year son. The Obama tax plan should not affect his tax situation in anyway. The McCain/Palin Health Care Plan has the potential of forcing my family into bankruptcy. Guaranteed Access Plans do not work for families with chronic health issues. - Reply to this comment
- there is nothing specific in the McCain/Palin plan that will help these kids and their families. The McCain/Palin health care plan is a joke. Palin actually cut the proposed budget of special needs education in her state.

- Scott, you''re deceptive.
Most of what Palin said had nothing to do with Obama. There was one little bit, seemingly out-of-place IMO, but yet it takes up over half of your entry. I think the Obama comment took less than a minute...yet, gets all the space!?
Can you use off time, to report if there''s any truth to the policy and tax assertions? Is that too much to ask of CBS? - Reply to this comment
