ABC News (and paticularly Charlie Gibson) should be ashamed. Clearly, you have forgotten what objectivity means and have entered the fray on tyhe socialist democrat side.

"last 1/2 normal person I can think of that held office was Reagan (not Mrs. Reagan). "
***************************************

Yea he looked at the astrology charts before he made a decision.

Funny though that the religious right liked him.

Obama spoke about withdrawal but when he was in Iraq he talked to the Iraqi leadership there about not withdrawing American troops until after the election... he directly interferred with official foreign policy which is a violation of the Logan Act. This is called lying to his own supporters.

Also we could mention that he is friends with an unrepentant terrorist named Bill Ayers, began his political career in Ayers' living room.

Yet we have to parse words over a man who believe his wife was destined to do something great. I believe she is too...

Maybe that is what ABC is scared of, but you know, if she is destined... then there is nothing ABC can do about it right? Though we will watch them try their hardest the next several weeks... it is your fate ABC. Fate.

HA.

McCain&Cindy/Sarah&Todd '08

I love these people! Love them! Analyze that!

Can't believe they wrote a story on this... let's forget about the guy with unrepentant terrorists as friends running for the presidency... let's only focus the people's minds on what we want them to think about.
Right ABC?

Oh dear, Jitter, are you yet another Obama supporter tossing the useless race card, once again?

ARe you ready to face the truth?

Obama and his wife belonged to a racist church for 20 years.

Meanwhile...

McCain's have a daughter they adopted from Bangladesh.
Palin's husband is Native American.
The GOP was the FIRST to have TWO black Secretaries of State, Powell and Rice.

It is Obama and the Dems who are the racists here.

Stop using the race card, nobody cares anymore, Obama has abused it too much.

Isn't Todd a traitor? I mean, he was a member of the "Alaska Independence Party"

I LOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE THE PALINS!!!!!!

I IMAGINE THEY ARE MAYBE WONNNNNNDDDERRRFFFULLL!!!!

OF COURSE, ALL I KNOW ABOUT HEM IS THAT THEY ARE SECESSSIONIST RIGHT-WING HOLY-ROLLER FRUITCAKES, BUT WHO CARES?

SHE'S A HOCKEY-MOM!!!!! I LOOOOOVVVVEEE HOCKEY-MOMS!!!!!

SHE CAN SEE RUSSIA OUT HER BATHROOM WINDOW!!!! SHE'S A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!!!

PINCH ME, I'M DREAMING!!!!!!!!

Todd doesn't even have a college degree, and his wife is almost as uneducated. It was OBVIOUS listening to her interview that she hasn't paid much attention to national politics. She is WAY WAY behind in the knowledge that's required to be Vice President, and she can't even use her 'vocabulary words' correctly. What a doofus.

You people who are voting for her probably never made it past 8th grade... that is pretty obvious. Your ignorance is absolutely astounding.

The truth will come out. She is a crooked politician. She only wanted the Good Old Boys out of Alaskan politics so she could take their place.

You people are being duped by your own party. What fools indeed.

I don't get how 'being average' means you'd make a better president then someone with the proper credentials. This "she's so normal" is a bad thing if you ask me. A president should have a top notch ivy league education or another achievement that proves something. Another thing is, we don't need five kids running around the white house. It's hard enough to run things with five kids let alone five kids and running the country. I wish good things for Palin but I sure hope she loses this one. We don't need another republican in the white house.

Some of you people are absolutely retarded, and I don't feel bad what so ever for saying it. Seriously, how much convincing do you need that casting a vote for candidate A because he/she is "more likeable" or "has a better personality" is a HORRID idea?

Look, we ended up in this mess in part because people voted for the guy they'd rather have a god damned beer with.

Supporters of BOTH candidates need to wake the f**k up and start looking at the issues. Do you need a reminder of what those are?

1.)Iraq - What led to us being there? Why haven't we won? What are we going to do about it?

2.)See above, but strike the first part...that much is known.

3.)Our economy isn't dead in the water, but it's scarcely in full health these days. Again...what led to this crap, and what are we going to do about it?

3.)Bipartisanship. We haven't seen REAL bipartisanship in this country in a long time, and it's high time and candidate takes it seriously, otherwise we'll continue to flounder.

What's frustrating about this is that the media isn't going to do a thing about it. While I think ABC is a good organization(shameless plug), they're just as guilty as the rest with not taking politicians to task, instead concentrating on garbage like this. . .

Okay....issue number 2 in my first post was SUPPOSED to have "Afghanistan" but for whatever reason, it's not there...

You people who are voting for her probably never made it past 8th grade... that is pretty obvious. Your ignorance is absolutely astounding.

lindsay,

You are absolutely right! In fact my wife and I just got back from a cruise to Alaska. We were absolutely surprised at the local population there - it looks like West Virgina!

A bunch of toothless rednecks in those smaller towns like Wassilla. And Todd? He is nothing but a redneck snowmobiler with a DUI!!!

David, this is only a rumor:

"Obama spoke about withdrawal but when he was in Iraq he talked to the Iraqi leadership there about not withdrawing American troops until after the election... he directly interferred with official foreign policy which is a violation of the Logan Act."

DO you have proof of this? If this was true, it would have come out a LONG time ago; you and the rest of the raving loonie right-wingers are grasping at straws trying in vain to steal another election with dishonesty. Even if it was true, do you really think the Iraqi government is going to tattle on Obama?

They don't want McCain, they want Obama!! Dream on, and quit posting rumors as the truth. You Republicans just can't quit, can you? Lying is the Republican National Creed.

Some of you guys are crazy on this board. 8 yrs of suffering, constant job lost,home forclosures, no health care. And now Just to day HP is laying of 25,000 people and AIG is in the tank, and all these banks are closing. And all yall can say is, boy he is a nice guy. Mcshame voted 19 times not to increase mim wages, why don't you people wise the hell up and check the facts. Don't start crying when you vote these dummies in the white house, and all your jobs get ship over seas. Stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about your children's future,Oh and by the way I forgot women's right to choose is out the damn door.

"As for what he did when his wife went off to complete her education at 5 colleges in 6 years, Palin told Van Susteren he was busy with various jobs."
***************************************

Kind of a drifter, likes to use the power of the Governors office from what I read . My, but he is the snowmobile champion though.

It's funny to watch ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and others try will all their might to marginalize Sarah Palin and her family only to see it backfire. You guys keep shoveling the crap and I will continue to watch as it falls back in your face.

It is beyond comprehension just how ignorant these media types are. To think they can criticize Sarah Palin for not having enough experience to be VP all the while, Obama has the same amount if not less experience and he is running for President. Do you people really think we are so stupid? Really?

McCain/Palin 2008

Yeah, for somebody who never made it past the 8th grade, I suppose Sarah is super, super educated.

This whole situation just goes to show the sorry state of the educational system in this country. Don't they teach government classes anymore? Who in their right mind would think this YAY-HOO ex-beauty queen with the prego teenage daughter is fit to be vice president, much less PRESIDENT?

Because she can SEE Russia from her house? PUH-LEAZE!! Gag me with a spoon.

The rest of the world is laughing at us. Big time. It's like a bad sit-com run amok.

Do you people really think we are so stupid? Really?
****************************************

Without question, yes

Obama has a law degree from one of the most repsected institutions in the country, and is an expert in Constitutional Law. He knows his stuff and can hold his own in any intellectual environment.

You DO know what the Constitution is, don't you? Did they teach that before you dropped out of 8th grade? It's that crazy little document that forms the backbone of our entire government, just in case you didn't know.

I am sorry, but it takes a little more than what Sarah's got to be president. Haven't you noticed they won't let her do interviews? It's because she is almost CLUELESS!! I am talking CLUELESS!!

Billie-

About raising the minimum wage....I agree with the sentiment that expecting someone to support themselves with a minimum wage job is absurd, raising it just raises the cost of everything else...and usually disproportionately. We need to make sure that people can get the education they need (affordably, might I add) to ensure that they don't rely on minimum wage jobs. Simply saying "raise it" isn't enough, and both candidates know it.

"Respected". I spelled that wrong. Typo, sorry.
