How sick is it that the mainstream media have told us more about Bristol Palin's out-of-wedlock baby in the past 5 days than they have told us about John Edwards' out-of-wedlock baby for more than a year!

Women will decide this election.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! PLEASE STOP WITH THE B.S. IF THIS WOMAN IS GOING TO BE MY VICE PRESIDENT THEN SHE NEEDS TO GO THROUGH THE SAME SCRUTINY THAT EVERYONE WHO RUNS FOR PUBLIC OFFICE GOES THROUGH. IF SHE CANT HANDLE THE MEDIA ASKING QUESTIONS, MAYBE SHE IS NOT TOUGH ENOUGH TO BE VICE PRESIDENT. SO ENOUGH WITH THE SEXIST TALK. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN TRYING TO GET HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS TO VOTE FOR HIM.

Sarah Palin is a great choice.....
I'm a man and i support Palin for the
job......Let's have a qualify female
for VP in our nation.....
Palin has a great personality and
she's ready to take on corruption...

McCAIN/PALIN '08

Let me get this straight........
Days of talk about the VP pick's daughter......but a cover up for a potential Presidential nominee's love child.

Nice and object, right?

The media is a total disgrace. If this were Obama's daughter, we'd all be accused of being racist for even talking about it.

I am a well educated woman in a high power job who happens to be a mother. The women who are calling the Obama camapign and supporters sexist are wrong and frankly they are hurting women by crying "sexism". If the McCain campaign wants to use Palin's "Hockey Mom" image as a way to sell her then they have opened the door to any question about her as a woman/mother.

Lovy,

Then please let's scrutinize PALIN herself, not her children.

Or better yet, let's scrutinize Obama's relation to Ayers. Why isn't the media reporting on that? It's far more relevant to an election.

Lets really look at the experience comparison:

Obama:
B.A in political science from Columbia University, with a specialization in international relations
J.D. in Law from Hardvard, graduated magna cum laude; President of the Harvard Law Review
12 years (92-04) teaching constitutional law
7 years State Senator: sponsored more than 800 bills
4 years Senator for Illinos, a state with 12.8 million people

Palin:
Bachelor's in journalism from University of Idaho
4 years Wasilla City Council (8000 people)
6 years Wasilla mayor (8000 people)
1 year "Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission"
20 months governor of a state with 660,000 people

Do the Republicans really think we're so stupid that we would believe she is more experienced than Obama? Give me a break…

Yes, the "liberal media" is at it again.They tried to trash Hillary while worshipping at the shrine of Obama. Now here's another woman for them to slam.I'm a Democrat and a Hillary supporter. The Democrat party may reap a bitter harvest in November for under-estimating the memory and voting power of Clinton supporters. Many extreme left Obama voters kept smirking and saying, "we don't need you". Well good! See how it goes without us!

"Asked later why it was sexist to question her political affiliations..."

So, why is it racist to question Obama's history of being a Muslim, especially when it clearly states on his Indonesian school registration that he was? How come the MSM has not addressed that issue, which is MUCH more relevant to the safety of this country, but instead has attacked Palin like hyenas?

And that clear unbalanced reporting, is sexism.

They question the experience of a woman, but let the more inexperience male get off scot-free.

A weak man is threatened by a strong woman.

I truely like Palin, don't see anything wrong with having a 17 year old girl having a baby or got prenant. In this country or around the world, there a many high girls under 18 doing that before that got married. Palin's daughter is just one of the victim. However, We should praise her for stood up and took the resposibility to keep the bady. The one who is complainning, may her some relative or their own children doing the same thing, but luckly public may not know about. Those people should be shame themselve.

Last time I checked John Edwards was not on any presidential ticket. Palin brought this all on herself. Stop making excuses for her. She could have said no.

Half of Obama's time in Senate he has dedicated to running for President. And half the time he actually was showing up to Senate he voted "present". It's not just time, but HOW YOU MAKE USE OF THAT TIME.

As far as academic credentials, that is a worthless guide to how effective you can be as a president. I know people in the Ivory Tower seem to think that academic success translates into real world success, but it really doesn't. Our best presidents weren't that educated.

elizabeth.....i am a lifelong Democrat, and even that appalls me....

The things that people do to get you to lose sight of whats important and thats the real issues of whats going on, now who got who pregnant and when, or cheated on who...If we did a poll and people were honest probably 85% of us have been cheated on lied to or cursed at. Who is the best canadate and why, why would Obama would smear her for being a women, when he is a minority
and why would McCain smear Obama when he has a women VP running mate, also in this arena considered a minority.

Absolutely. John Edwards is given the royal, discrete treatment about his womanizing affair and possibly fathered a love child.... and the media treats him with kid gloves. The democrats hold Teddy Kennedy up as an icon, and the epitome of a politician? Do you know how many DWI's he has had in his life? That in the late '90s he was found having sex, half-naked in a restaurant? Much more if you choose to look at it. And here we have a courageous, hard-working Governor, with a fantastic public political record, and the media, and democrats, are bashing her family and questioning her morals? My goodness. I guess it's politics, but I think people are smarter than to fall for this over time. Give her a chance, and then vote your conscience.

what the ignorant lemmings fail to recognize is that obama himself was not subject to such intense scrutiny and hatred as palin is, and she's only the vp candidate!

justmyobservation: as usual, you spin Obama's thin resume and you omit important aspects of Palin's. Obama's time in the US senate is minimal at best given that he started running for President from the beginning.

Palin administers and manages the state's 11 billion dollar budget. Obama: zilcho state budget management.

Palin has negotiated a pipeline with Canada, which has brought more energy needs to the US than Biden has done for energy in his entire career.
Obama: zilcho in the foreign negotiaton dept.

Palin has commandered the National Guard, which has been deployed into action. A branch of this is also responsible for the ballistic defense system, which is unique to Alaska, and therefore Alaska's NG is the only one under 24 hour guard.
Obama: no experience with security issues.

STOP bringing up silly issues like harvard grad (Bush went to Yale, you know, are you going to say now that he was "experienced"?), and state senate....that means he was just a state legislator. And no, he didn't "sponsor" 800 bills, he co-sponsored the large majority of those, which is what every other senator does.

In his time in the us senate, according to seante records, he only authored TWO bills that went into law: naming a post office, and supporting democracy in the Congo.

the fact that you are lying to buff up his resume, and lying to demean Palin's, shows more desperation as an Obama supporter than you will ever know.

Seek the truth.

McCain/Palin 2008

Isn't it obvious?!

You can be a black man and have zero accomplishments in anything, you are still a God, a God of Nothingness. If you are a woman, they worry about who takes care of the baby.

JA...you might want to check your facts. Obama's "Present" votes are common procedure in the Illinois Senate and stand for a "NO" vote under special circumstances. Please go to the Library of Congress website to compare Obama's and McCain's voting records. You will note that since the Presidential campaign started Obama has voted almost 30% more than McCain. McCain is a much bigger no show.
