Nightline's Daily Line

Watching our potential leaders have a little fun doesn't bother me. I think it's kind of nice to see our candidates in an informal role.

I seem to remember the bar getting set fairly low when Bill Clinton played the saxophone in dark sunglasses on the Arsenio Hall show...

Or Dukakis riding in that tank...

Maybe it goes back to politicians kissing babies...

Everyone loves to dance whether can or not.

Can't wait to see McCain shake a leg.

This article must have been written by a no rhythm white person. Palin had some pretty good rhythm I would say that she raised the bar, you idiots just will not let up on her.

IN all fairness, Palin gave some great moves on SNL. Her moves showed should could have done better if she actually did the skit herself. Of course George has some moves too. We have seen so many of his actions. Obama has also appeared on "Ellen" and did a pretty good job. We'll love to see more from Mccain. I saw one of his videos while visiting a church group, but he hardly moved. He should appear on Ellen, and lets see how his moves would look like

Chair dancing Sarah Palin could have helped her cause with a brass pole...or something, also.

It has become a tradition. It is ok with me.

doug, That was awesome!

Mr. Obama is already a low bar already.

Makes them all human...No problem!

So what - by the way - Obama and Clinton were both on SNL - right?

I find it amazing that no one has ever mentioned to my knowledge in 60 years what a candidate spent on his clothes when running for any office. Who gives a flip? If they can turn things around.... who cares. You'd blast her if she looked drab and poor. You'd say the Republicans don't have enough money to dress their candidates. I'm really tired of the media and you making the news instead of reporting the news. I can hardly stand to listen to any news coverage. I use to be a news "junky", but no more.

Several reasons the amount that has been spent on Sarah Palin's wardrobe matters:
-other candidates have paid for their own clothes instead of using taxpayer money;
-it seems hypocritical to try to represent oneself as akin to a hockey mom or Joe sixpack, and then spend more on clothes than a hockey mom or dad make in 2 years for the whole family to live on; these choices make Sarah seem really out of touch with the average American, which is the majority of us
-the poor don't need expensive clothes to wear; they need food, shelter, and reasonable clothes to wear; get real
- donating them to charity I believe was an afterthought rather than a forethought

To Lorene
The money was from the RNC, not taxpayers. You didn't pay a dime for it if you didn't donate to the Republicans. Those clothes are used for the campaign and then given back later. Donating to charity means the clothes can be sold and the money given for basic needs. Who pays for Obama's tailored suits? If they're going to report "news" like this, it should be fair and balanced. Why so much interest in her looks? It's simply that she's a woman. It's amazing to me the sexist bias that still persists.
Who cares what any of them wear? Why can't we talk about what they think?

The news media seems determined to only show the happy African Americans after Obama's win. There were many, many white people who voted for him. We all are happy Obama won...first because he is a real leader with compassion for all and new ideas...second he "looks" Black, but actually half white. Why do you make it only a win for blacks? Isn't that racial profiling? Obama reminds us often that he is a president for a "united America." Why can't the news support this and get over it's racial profiling. Show all the white people cheering too! Don't try to take us all backwards into blacks and whites! That's not where this country needs to go!
