Katie Couric's Notebook: Palin's Big Night
This will be the biggest night of Sarah Palin's political life. The woman few Americans outside Alaska had heard of a week ago, will have an audience as big as her home state tonight. She's been governor less than two years, and voters want to know a lot more about her.
Tonight's speech is critical because first impressions are so important. But it will be totally scripted; her audience here in the convention hall – very friendly. It may not be until she hits the campaign trail and does endless rounds of media interviews that we really get to know Sarah Palin.
John McCain says he picked Palin to help him fight the same old Washington politics, and she does help solidify his image as a maverick. Palin appeals to conservatives who see McCain as too liberal. She may even bring in some Clinton supporters, although Palin and Clinton differ on everything from abortion and gay marriage to gun control and Arctic drilling.Katie Couric's Notebook: Palin's Big Night

Do you need an atlas of this country. She is governor of Alaska NOT Arkansas, you have her confused with Bill and Hillary or was that an accidental(?) slip or are you just promoting the liberal news media''s ***, the liberal spin you are so fond of and use. Get real!! She should be a woman you are embracing, not putting down. Arkansas, get real!!!! She is a real person, not a manufactured person!!!! Folksy, hmmm, not all of us live on "the coasts". Perhaps you don''t recognize a real woman, a real mother when you see one these days. You have sold out!!!
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.
maybe it IS to hard to swallow that gender bias is rampant in the democratic party, HILLARY WAS YOUR MOST EXPERIENCED CANDIDATE.
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
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.

have convinced me to hold my nose and vote for a decent chap in McCain with whom I often disagree rather than see OBAMA and the people in his campaign/american press succeed with this despicable and short
sighted series of personal attacks. Thanks OBAMA and American Press Core you have convinced me to vote against both of you.
REMEMBER IT IS YOUR LIBERAL PRESS AND OBAMA BACKERS FORCING HER PREGNANCY AND THESE YOUNG PEOPLE INTO THE SPOTLIGHT. WITHOUT THE ATTACKS ON SARAH, THIS WOULD NOT BE A NATIONAL ISSUE. ALSO YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER FOLLOWED HOCKEY, THESE GUYS ARE THE TOUGHEST, IT IS A VERY ROUGH SPORT, SO IF YOU ARE A HOCKEY MOM, AND YOUR CHILD IS PLAYING, YOU CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE TO TOUGHEN -UP YOURSELF. AGAIN, DEMS JUST TRYING TO BE SEXIST, WOULD YOU SAY THE SAME IF A MAN HAD SAID THAT?
Lets stay focused people!

- What does McCain mean by: In my adminstration we are going to make sure "bad" teachers find a new line of work? What industry has 100% "good" people? I am a teacher in NM and I was so disheartened by his comments about public education. He lost my vote.
