Who cares? She's boring now that she's just another Republican ducking an investigation.

She is not being kept quiet she is observing and learning things This way she we be informed on all the facts first

Is this a trick question..You better be careful ABC or the McCain camp will yell at you!

Buzz up!John McCain, whose ads skewer Barack Obama for his "celebrity" status, has his own close ties to show business, the new issue of Us Weekly reports exclusively.

The 72-year-old was recently made TV-ready by makeup artist Tifanie White who's worked on So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol.

McCain paid the 2002 beauty-school grad $5,583.43 for her services, according to the Federal Election Commission.

I believe Palin is so interesting to the nation that Mc Cain wants her to keep a low profile and the spotlight to specifically shine on him . There is a huge debate coming up on Friday and he and Obama need the focus squarely on them.

Biden has probably been told the same thing but his nature is to shoot from the hip and has trouble keeping his mouth shut.

With the way the McCain campaign handled Sarah's first excursion with foreign leaders it would have been less embarrassing if those leaders would have just walked up to a cardboard cutout of her allowing the horde of photographers to get their best shot.

some people just dont know, worse are the willingly ignorant

I'm sure Palin has been to Georga, and she said Atlanta was very hot.
she is and idiot and the fact that she just picked up a passport for the first time ever!!! is all I need to know...

Here is the McCain/Palin campaign summed up in one word (definition provided):

PROPAGANDA

Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.

Obama never visited western europe in his whole life before last july.

Obama is way up in the polls and the media is still pummeling Palin every day.

All I know if there isn't a change in the media we now live in a one party country.

The media is 85 percent registered democrats.

This is not healthy for democracy.

Enough already.

The media is so far left that we could have had a brilliant policy wonk in Hillary Clinton.

The media cost us a great president. This is not healthy for this country.

Obama has never ever been vetted.

McCain wants to stop campaigning because of the crisis! What a chicken. No debate. What a chicken.

I think this has more to do with the polls showing him going to the s*can and Davis being a mortgage industry lobbyist.

Don't fall for it Obama. Don't fall for it America.

John McCain "When the going gets tough make an excuse."

We have the military set to handle two wars at once but John McCain can only handle one crisis at a time.

McCain want the debate postponed!

Yes.

I agree with Whoopi Goldberg. It's time for the talking heads to stuff it and let's hear Palin talk to the issues. The attack ads from both sides are meaningless. The photo ops are meaningless. Don't throw her in the water with the opposition throwing in chum for the sharks, but otherwise

Let Palin Be Palin.

I think THAT will be very interesting.

I'm sure Palin has been to Georgia, and she said Atlanta was very hot.
she is and idiot and the fact that she just picked up a passport for the first time ever!!! is all I need to know...

Palin is giving an interview with Couric tonight.

Get off of her already.

When are you ever going to vet Obama.

Never. He has a huge lead and you are pummeling the VP candidate. Unreal. This election is unreal.

Shouldn't we do a little vetting on Obama who has no economic experience and had never been to europe before july.

Obama has a huge lead and has never been vetted.

Matt: "she is and idiot..."

I'll bet she does very well during her debate with Biden. I'm a bit cynical, so I can add its easy to stick to your talking points, when they're all you know, and you just learned them yesterday.

But stick to her talking points she will - and she'll sound good doing it - and of course the debate format won't allow her to be pressed beyond those talking points.

Biden debates well, too. He isn't a gaffe machine at the podium. So I'm expecting a good showing from both of them.

Obama never visited europe before this july.

Obama is a joke.

McCain has gone to nato security conferences in europe for decades.

Obama is running at the top of the ticket and is a joke and the left is obsessed about palin.

Obama been to europe once in his life in july.

Obama is not qualified for the top of the ticket.

Hillary should be the nominee.

Obama the sexist said Hillary's experience was having tea with foreign leaders.

She had better be ready for Biden in the debate next month. Palin must learn more because the debate is not going to be easy.

If we are all Georgians now, how does meeting with Saakashvilli count as meeting a foreign leader? According to Colin Powell, Georgia started the conflict with Russia. Hope she asked about that.

McCain wants to stop campaigning because of the crisis! What a chicken. No debate. What a chicken.

I think this has more to do with the polls showing him going to the s*can and Davis being a mortgage industry lobbyist.

Don't fall for it Obama. Don't fall for it America.

John McCain "When the going gets tough make an excuse."

We have the military set to handle two wars at once but John McCain can only handle one crisis at a time.

I would be happy if the McCain campaign sent Palin to Delaware for the rest of the campaign and the Obama campaign sent Biden to Alaska. They both have 3 votes.

Obviously they know they cannot trust her to answer questions without exposing her ignorance.

There's no there there!

Other than maybe
Elmer Gantry

Lol, I could agree to that Ricky.

So what do you want to know? How many houses or how many cars? Can she use a computer? If she wants to ban Harry Potter?

FREE SARAH!

What are they hiding by not letting Palin talk?

More interesting Saakashvilli DIDN'T HAVE ANY PRAISE FOR THE SUIT, OBAMA!
McCain is the MAN and has suspended his campaign to go back to the Senate and address this financial crisis....called on Obama to do the same.
McCain is the Maverick....and puts COUNTRY FIRST, AND DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT LOSING AN ELECTION!!!!!
BO'S EGO IS ALWAYS FIRST.
McCAIN HAS THE RECORD OF WORKING BI PARTISAN AND WANTING TO END THE GRIDLOCK IN FRICKIN WASHINGTON!!!!!

I love the man WHO LOVES THIS COUNTRY MORE THAN HE LOVES HIMSELF.
Love Palin too.

Yeah they want her quiet...

Thats why the VP debate has been rigged by the McCain camp so she does not get cross examined by Biden or anyone else.

Unbelievable that everyone is buying into this garbage that Palin is ready to lead this free country.

She cant be asked unscripted questions, cant hold a press conference, cant be really debated in a real debate, only gives stump speeches that are written by Bush thugs.... YUP YUP she's a winner alright.

If McCain/Palin the Unstable/Unable are elected by the people.. we are all doomed

Never mind that man over their behind that curtain!!! Don't look behind that curtain!!! The Great Oz... ohhhhh.....

As to Palin's comment:

"It's going great. These meetings are very informative and helpful and a lot of good people sharing appreciation for America," Palin said.

What language is this? Does this comment sound even remotely intelligent? "...and a lot of good people sharing appreciation for America..." ???

She sounds dumb, period. Just embarrassing!

Governor Sarah Palin is wise and understands her place in the world. She understands how important it is for her to be seen and not heard. Why can't the rest of you see it?

The polls are wrong!

The economy is sound!

The economy is in crisis!

Barack Obama is sound.. wait, hes Wrong!

Palin! just dont ask her any questions.

DEEEEEE-Regulation!!

Regulation!!

Thanks Mr.McCain if nobody knew now they do.....

She obviously is not ready to lead being that she isnt even trusted enough to answer questions from the press. And to think that if elected she would only be one heartbeat away from the presidency... scary

Do you know why he wants to go back! That's to delay the election, which is not good. The " crisis" is to handled, and he wants to make it seem as if he is a leader, WE CANNOT AFFORD TO POSTPONE this election!!!!

The "No Talk Express" is in full steamroll mode to obscure the fact that Palin is nothing more than Bush's third term. ALERT: What's the difference between Bush & Palin? LIPSTICK!

After keeping mum to the press all morning, Palin answered a reporter's question for the first time about how the meetings are going.

"It's going great. These meetings are very informative and helpful and a lot of good people sharing appreciation for America," Palin said.

Zardari IS THE BIGGEST FLIRT. He is known to date prostitutes.

CHECK OUT HIS RECORD while he was married!

He beat his wife so much that when she was speaking on television she had bruises on her face.

Hmmmmm....maybe Palin should have worn a pant suite instead???

whoa, she speaks without cue cards or handlers...not much of a question, or much of an answer...still waiting for some real questions and answer....FREE SARAH PALIN!! LET HER SPEAK!!

McCain should be both embarrassed and ashamed by this blocking all access to his un-vetted VP candidate. Now, all we get to hear is what John tells us happened. I would likely get more accurate information from Putin (who cannot see Alaska from his house)

In Pakistan women are second rate citizens at best. Wow, he likes her. He could care less. It was a photo opp for both of them.

Americans please vote wisely. Do not turn this great country to 3rd world country. Another Rebulican president will surely turn this country to where i came from, 3rd world country.

He wants to suspend the debate? Not even president and rushing around like the boss? Country first? How about McCain first? He has been jockeying for position and trying to find his footing since last week Monday.

What happened to the fundamentals since then?

I would be disappointed if the Obama camp gives in.

The Pakistani president is known as Mr 15%, a corrupt leader, a mentally ill person who like Palin is using her murdered wife's legacy to climb the lader. Palin is using Bristol, Trig and Track the same way. So no surprise here. God save America from McCain+Palin+WBush+Cheney and the republican party. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA/BIDEN08.

Clearly I am MORE qualified to be VP. I too have a degree in journalism (but I got mine in 4 years from one of the top JRN schools in the country, do you think that will count against me?) And I've been to Mexico AND England. Also, I was a Homecoming Queen. Oh yes...and I've had a passport since 1972. Also, I founded and ran an international conservation organization for 14 years (there's that pesky executive experience). Oh and I was a member of the NRA way back before Palin was born, and I can shoot the bullseye out of a target at 400 years. (But I don't shoot living things out of airplanes ... darn, that will probably disqualify me.) So, do you think the American people should trust me with the nation's future? What a joke.

I just love what the Republicans are feeding, and not feeding the press. Reading about the coverage of Palin's school field trip to NYC, the only thing the Republicans have released to appease the press is what kind of ice cream she and her family ordered, and what her husband and kids are doing. Is that really what America wants to know? Do they think we are stupid? Let her talk and show how ready she really is, we don't want to know what flavor ice cream she eats, but what she thinks! Obviously, even the Republicans think that she is NOT ready! But of course, they have to blame that on the press, saying that the press is bias. Is it the press's fault that she has so much dirt on her record? That's not being bias, that's exposing the only facts that are out there. Shouldn't it ring a bell? Ding Ding, why is there so much dirt on her? Is it really the press making things up? Or does she really have a 17 year old daughter who is unmarried and pregnant? Oh, that's just the press starting rumours. Sorry, can't hide the facts, and better face the fact that she's got dirt all over her. Press or no press, the dirt is still there.

"Now I know why a lot of America is crazy about you," said Pakistan's new President Asif Ali Zardari at one point during their one-on-one meeting this afternoon.

That's a misquote. Actually what he said was "A lot of America is crazy."

PALIN IS THE BIGGEST SCAM EVER PULLED ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC!WHAT IS NEVER SPOKEN ABOUT IS HER VIEWS:NO ABORTION EVEN WHEN RAPED OR (UNBELEIVABLE)INCEST,CREATIONISM TO BE TAUGHT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS,NO SEX EDUCATION ALLOWED IN ALASKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS(SEE DAUGHTER FOR RESULTS OR HER OWN PREGNANCY WHEN MARRIED)WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO INVADE AND OCCUPY FOREIGN COUNTRIES EVEN WHEN WE ARE NOT ATTACKED FIRST!IF THIS IS YOUR VIEWS PLEASE VOTE PALIN/MCAIN.

Wow. The hate spewed from the left is unreal. Sarah Palin must be a real threat cause the loonies got their panties in a bunch.

Doesn't Palin know she shouldn't wear short dresses and skirts when meeting Islamic leaders? Especially men! Giving hugs to men she doesn't know? Is this a positive message as a World leader? What is her camp thinking when they don't know the how to present her when meeting world leaders.
This is very humiliating and degrading for the U.S. Every CEO, President, Prime Ministers, etc. reads the country's culture and traditions before they meet with them, why didn't Palin?

Palin is an attractive female, and unfortunately many males have a six-inch brain. Too bad she is unqualified, vindictive, and an embarassment to the American people. Even if she looks like a Barbie, she's NOT close to being VP material.

Better to keep her quite. She does more damage than good. It is just like Dan Quayle. Embarrassing!

If McCain wants to chicken out of the debate with Obama, why not let Palin stand in for him? She evidently has more balls than he does.

some people just dont know, worse are the willingly ignorant I just cut and pasted what somebody said about obama on the Bailout and changed the words of oabama to her

Why the hostility?

The latest Republican/Mccain HailMary. What the hell is Mccain going to do in Washington to help. No one even wants him there!Another Bullshit ploy, He is sad and over the hill, and this bailout is just another blank check. Election is over, say Hello to President Obama.

If your total resume is local weather girl, 4 years on the city council
and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months
as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified
to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other
option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed
teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

Palin is an empty headed noone on her road to nowhere.

Can you beleive that Palin once cheated on a test in high school, and that she once had the nerve to put on eyeliner that didn't match her dress? Can you belive that her 2nd cousin's former roomate shoplifted when he was a toddler. The nerve of the Republicans!

You Lefties are seriously the biggest joke of all time. I have never seen such hatred. You make Islamic Terrorists look soft.

Sarah Palin makes me cringe with embarassment for our country. She's just such a hick.

This is such an insult to the American public. I cannot believe what the citizens of this country are willing to put up with. Parade her in front of some diplomats in a purely social event, which will now be used to counter her "I believe if you go back in history, you will find..." debacle. Keep preventing her from any meaningful dialog with the press. Altering debate formats to make up for her lack of experience. Attempting to push back an investigation until _after_ the elections. GOP taking over offices in Alaska so they can field the questions and requests for information being targeted there. Both candidates are claiming they want transparency in government.. but they seem to have very, very different opinions on what that actually means.

Obama says it is OK to kill a late term baby!

What a guy!!!!!!

Paul....I don't think the debates will be that good. McCain's camp has stepped in once again and changed the rules. It will be another question and scripted answer period....

From the Vancouver Sun.."According to a report in the New York Times Saturday, the campaign of Senator John McCain has fought for tight rules on how the VP debate will run, limiting the chances of anything other than short answers, and ensuring the debaters will not speak directly to one another for anything more than short periods." "The reasoning behind the tighter VP rules? According to The Times, McCain advisers were concerned that letting Palin, a relative rookie when it comes to debating national and international policy, go toe-to-toe with Biden, would leave her at a disadvantage.

The Obama campaign was reportedly not involved in the discussion, with advisors to Biden claiming they were comfortable with whatever rules were put in place. The negotiations were between the Commission on Presidential Debates, a non-partisan organization, and McCain advisors."

The hate shines on through from the left

On MSNBC Morning Joe this morning, Saashkavili said he had been having telephone conversations with BARACK (yes he called him by his first name). This shows a closeness that is not forced by anybody unlike Mcsame that wants to forcefully befriend Saash by visiting him with his grand daughter Sarah.
We know the tricks. Misha indeed..............

This is it??? PALIN TALKS is the headline, and you fooled me into thinking I was going to get something of substance. Shame on you ABC!! This is not funny. We have a financial crisis going on right now so serious that McCain wants to suspend his campaign, and you're wasting my time with this fluff?

a make-up artist??? OMG!!!

Sarah should PUNISH the press for the way they covered her campaign. Does anyone remember the weekend after she was chosen to be McCain's VP? That weekend, the Gulf Coast was hit by hurricane Gustav (Gustaf?). The shamefully explotative & insensitive American Press focused om Sarah's daughter's pregnancy instead of the catastrophy in the Gulf Coast. How disgusting the American Press was! In fact, Charles Gibson of ABC opened that ABC News that evening with these words: "...tonight we have two storms, one in the Gulf Coast, the other in Alaska...". VERY CHEAP, Charlie! SHAME ON YOU AND SHAME ON ABC.

Ruby, your post is worth repeating:

"Doesn't Palin know she shouldn't wear short dresses and skirts when meeting Islamic leaders? Especially men! Giving hugs to men she doesn't know? Is this a positive message as a World leader? What is her camp thinking when they don't know the how to present her when meeting world leaders.
This is very humiliating and degrading for the U.S. Every CEO, President, Prime Ministers, etc. reads the country's culture and traditions before they meet with them, why didn't Palin?"

This to me shows exactly what we get when this country develops this mindless attitude against "elitism." What, do we want all our leaders to be uneducated, small-time locals who have never been anywhere?? There's a reason why we should want leaders who are educated and well-traveled. They can represent us better and don't make complete asses of themselves.

Palin is an embarrassment. McCain should have known better.

The left must either employ thousands of hate spewing monsters to troll websites all day or there are a ton of hate spewing monsters unemployed at home on the computer.

I take # 2

Powerful, authentic, attractive women love Palin.
Ugly, inferior women and misogynists are in a dither. I would have it no other way. Palin is chomping at the bit to talk to whoever, but these media sycophants should earn her time.
The devious, shockingly petty nitpicking of this great woman merely undercores the vicious, stupid "Stuck on Stupid" mentality of the hapless Left. With each low blow, Palin grows stronger. She has already dramatically changed America for the better. I am a mom, an overburdened taxpayer, a constitutional lawyer and a real commununity organizer who is damn proud to support Palin. The butch squad is dead. Real women ascend. Our time is now.

PALIN IS DUMB AS A DOOR KNOB, MCCAIN
GRADUATED #4 IN HIS CLASS. BUT WHITE PEOPLE ARE SAYING BLACKS ARE DUMB. MY 7TH GRADE GRANDDAUGHTER IS IN THE 3RD GRADE READS ON 4TH GRADE LEVEL.SHE COULD BE PRESIDENT.
OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!PALIN GO BACK TO ALASKKKA.TAKE CAR OF YOUR FAMILY..

SHE'S GREAT AND YOU KNOW IT. OBAMA WILL SLIP AND STUDDER AS ALWAYS

I just seen an article on Laura Bush. That she even said that Palin is not ready. But she would be good and that everyone is just picking on her because she is a woman. I am a woman, and I am sick of hearing that. If they do one thing that makes her look bad. Its because she is a woman, Whatever. I really wish that they would start talking about stuff that needs to be talked about. And a little less on putting each other down. We need to know what they are going to do for the people, and this country.

Go Palin

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE FIRST REPORTER WHO GOT AN ANSWER FROM PALIN..
HE DESERVES TO BE FAMOUS..
THE REST ARE JUST SHARKS LOOKING FOR GOTCHA!
BESIDES SELECTING PALIN FOR VP, MCCAIN JUST THREW ANOTHER ACE...
HALT CAMPAIGN AND FIX THE ECONOOMY..

C O U N T R Y F I R S T!!!

MCCAIN/PALIN 08

Go Palin

How is Mrs. Palin an embarrassment compared to Mr. Obama? Did not Mr. Obama get his wife a 300% raise via and earmark? Did he not join the board of a terrorist that denied funding to educators, even though that was there stated goal? Did he not state that Iran was a small country? Does he not support the genocide of us African Americans as we are 10% of the nation yet 30% of all abortions? Did he not vote for the murder of babies born alive via BAIP? Mr. Obama is a trajedy of our culture.

Go Palin

Palin sounds like she's answering a question at the Miss America pageant!

Maybe, America will win MISS WORLD, if she's elected.

Keeping Palin locked up only creates more mystery and intrigue around this woman. McCain is the Napolean of campaign tactics.

Palin Rules

Lefties Drool

Should education matter, if so, it will be easy to hire the best candidates for President and VP.

Educational background of candidates:

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. Political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. In history and B.A. In political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899

Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. In journalism

If this is your company, which team will you hire?

Enough said. We have idiots running this country ...

I've met World leaders. I mean taken pictures with them. Does that boast my resume to be VP?
I've changed colleges five times too? Barely passed my classes in Communication - CAN I BE VP TOO?

And you thought only Islamic Fanatics were extremists. Take a look at the link below. If this isn't scary I don't know what is!!!
