After the Couric interview I felt sorry for her for about a day.
Then I realized she should have known she was going to get eaten alive nationally when answering questions about The Big Picture. The Wasilla hockey mom pitbull lipschtick doesn't coast very far.
Firing the town's librarian after asking her about banning books spoke volumes (pun intended) of where her head is really at. And she might be president?!!!!!
Just that fascist move should scare the crap out of everyone!!!
I'm otherwise disappointed for women in politics in general that McCain has picked such a piece of unsubstantial, RepuBot fluff. |
Yep.

Yeah, I'd love to read what they say about her, when they publish their private memoirs in a few years time. |

Nasal Harp I
Las Piranha
Ash Air Plan
Anal Parish
A Sharp Nail
Anal Rash Pi

To be honest I don't think you need to go that far. It's pretty evident I think. It seems like politicians are either dumb, corrupt, or so vain to make a Korean girl seem almost hermitic.
I don't feel sorry for Sarah Palin at all. In fact I get some Schadenfruede at those interviews. This is a women that used the office of Governor and Mayor in Alaska to work on personal vendetta's (troopergate aside too). Not to mention any PERSON let alone a WOMAN who actually changes the law so that a woman who has been raped now has to PAY FOR HER OWN EXAMINATION to prove she has been raped gets ZERO sympathy. If you cant sympathize with a rape victim, I have very little sympathy when you say something stupid on TV. We don't make burglary victims pay for the fingerprinting around their house, why Sarah Palin would make a woman pay for a swab of her own personal crime scene is beyond me. It just speaks to a level of out of touch I didnt know was possible.
You reap what you sow. |

Got the ballot by email last night. Faxed it in today. Done.
That toss up Scott Huber and Anthony Kong for the Roseville Joint Union High School District was keeping me up late. Election night will be a nail-biter. |

Completely agree. From day one, it seemed like she took immense joy in walking though every door that feminism had opened for women, and then slamming them shut behind her.
That was bad enough, but her combination of incompetence and bravado is terrifying. That it seems to go unnoticed because she's cute and wears great shoes, makes me fear for western civilization |

Why hasn't Hillary ripped Palin?
Is it because that Clinton wants another kick at the White House in 2012 and doesn't really want to make any new enemies, and probably sees a very old McCain White House as a surefire Democratic win in 2012 with Obama out of the picture should he lose now? |

She would just look very bitter, as if the SNL skit ten days ago didn't already portray that enough. |

ok i've been watching as many clips and commentaries as i can on this whole palin interview thing. also i watched a clip from the recent interview with her and mccain where he basically steps in and speaks for her. i also saw a great youtube cut where they record over her answer at one point with the teen miss america speech. where she says, "like,such as" over and over again in hopes of sounding intelligent. beauty queens right? anyways, i think fareed zakaria lays it out the best:
http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/09/29/intv.tsr.zakaria.on.palin.cnn?iref=videosearch
and of course those tina fey spoofs! god bless em. "Katie,I'd like to use my life line, I'd like to phone a friend!" it just hurts me to my core that she was even an option. i hope you all check out factcheck.org as well, many great articles that sift through the crap from all the attack ads from both sides. which reminds me, in the interest of fairness, it hasn't been made clear, at least from factcheck.org, that palin was really in charge of the whole pay for your own rape kit thing. but its possible i haven't kept up on it closely enough, i just want to be fair to both sides. maybe i shouldn't, thats not the american spirit right? bottom line, everything i read up on about her and Mccain in general, frightens me to death. I'm voting Obama '08. |

| Sarah Palin will be yet another disgrace if the Republicans win. I don't know what McCain was thinking when he chose her as a running mate. She is a joke. |

If he says it loud enough, often enough, he will be able to believe it.
McCain was slipping badly in potential Electoral College votes last week before Friday night's debate. To win, a candidate must have 270. Obama has 171 and McCain 158 (ie, a lead of over 10% in each of those states). Obama has a chance at 57 more with a lead of 5-10%, McCain only 5 more. There are 147 votes where the polls are too close to call. If you divvied up those 147 to each candidate who has any lead at all, Obama would have 301, McCain only 237. (The numbers are from Real Clear Politics, where they average the poll numbers from various polls to eliminate as much as possible any weirdness from individual polls.) |
Get that dunce hat ready... |

That's a good one. Man! Anyone who names their children Bristol, Willow, Piper, Trig and Track is a whack-job. That shoulda been a clue a long time ago... |
that's alaska for you though......an alarming amount of people seem to like naming their kids 'unique' names....especially alaska-related names  |

No commentary post-debate? Has your opinion of SP changed since the debate, stayed the same, gotten worse?
Personally they set the bar so low for her she could have tripped over it and that would have been an improvement. Her three interviews prior to the debate, I feel were for the sole purpose of making us question both McCain and his choice for VP. Her inability to answer even the basic questions posed during those interviews speaks volumes to her ability to lead a state let alone a country if something were to happen to McCain if elected.
While watching the debate her folksy charm, I think, became something of a distraction as it almost seemed as if she was simply trying lull people into some false state.
We still have some time before the election, do you think your opinion will changed between now and then to make you change your vote? |
