I love how People think that Palin could not be VP because of an interview. She is lacking in foriegn policy, not a big deal she is the veep. Obama is lacking in foriegn policy too. All he has ever done is take a world tour where all he did was do what he does best... give speeches. Interviews have no bearing on how someone would do a the VP position. If McCain does keel over she will be more up to snuff by that point and she will have a Secretary of State. I really doupt that McCain is going to die in the next 4-8 years however.

People have been trying to find reason to dump on Palin since she was announced. Nothing was working, I mean did you notice the 3-4 articles on troopergate before the interview that were on CNN or MSNBC.com? The left media feels like the interview has discredited her, so they have backed off. Just wait, If she does really well in the debate (I think she will) it will all be back on. Right now the media is saving their ammo for if McCain starts to regain in the polls. Palin is a smart woman, she will do just fine in the debate. And since everyone has set the bar so low she will end up blowing away expectations. Which would backfire on the media. Because is they had not trashed her CC interview to the 9th degree the expectations would not be so low. What I am saying is the weak interview might help her in the end. We shall see.

 

It's hilarious how someone who claims to have such a high inteligence can defend the uberstupidity of Palin. Saturday Night Live didn't even have to chance her sentences to have a great joke.
It's not just that one interview, it's the complete ignorance of everything outside Alaska that normal people call world.

For your information: a lot of Republicans are now also worried, that not only she'll mess it up for the GOP ticket, but also is a way too dangerous choice as the VP of a 72 year old. So yeah, people ARE worrying, because what you don't see in your blind support of the Republicans is that someone like her in the highest office will hurt the image of the US in the world even further (I don't think I have to tell you that under Bush that image, even among traditional allies, isn't exactly good).

She is not a stupid woman. That is just what you want to believe so fine. My point was everyone is judging her by and interview, and interview filled with gotcha questions. She is new to the national scene, she has not had 3 years of campaigning like BO to think of really cool intelliegent sounding answers to everything. Especially specifics about McCain voting record on deregulation. Also, if she bombs the debate, I will be worried too, just like I would with ANY canidate, Mccain looks like a dumbass in the next debate I will begin to try and tell myself Obama is not the end of the world (I hoping it does not come to that).

Also as far as Republicans calling for Palin to be dumped... Did you know that dems are doing the same thing for Biden? Yea, 30 years in the senate super intelliegent biden. People want Obama to dump biden after the debate and pick Hilary. It is kinda like no matter what in sports, unless you are undefeated people are still going to call for the coaches head. In Pres elections you cannot dump the Pres nom, but the Veep can be dumped (has happened before).... And it was part of the reason we got Nixon....
