I am just sort of waiting to see what type of STUNT Palin is going to pull to get out of the debate Thursday. lol ;)

Here is one to add to your article:

How many times does Obama need to say Sen. McCain is right, during the debate?

who cares?

it's all in the context, what are you doing?

Really? that's all it takes to sway you?

Obama supporters love to talk about whether Gov. Palin is ready to be president (even though she's running for VP). The real questions is whether a community organizer from Chicago with close ties to a convicted felon, an unrepentant 60s bomber and the corrupt Chicago political machine is ready to be president. I think not. Another Democrat for McCain / Palin.

Once again big mouth Republican jerks venting their John Wayne "I know everything" BS. Bring back the draft McSame. Then send this laughablre phony, Palin, off to Iraq. On the front line. Then and only then will their be JUSTICE from the disgusting anti-constructive Republican Party.

James,

Why would he say McCain was not right in instances where he was? Two candidates can have some common ground on some topics, but if you notice beyond the statement that John got something right, Obama expanded on what McCain said. It was not a cop out to get out of answering. Also, the majority of those statements were around the economy, which was an area where the two sides did not have many differences as to what was needed for resolution.

Did I just hear right?? I just heard on CNN that a McCain campaign surrogate was making remarks regarding the Conservatives calling for Palin to step down because of her unpreparedness and demonstrated shortcomings in her recent interviews.

The defense was that -"Only the intelligent conservatives are calling for her to step aside." That most other conservatives are not.

Did they just basically say, only unintelligent conservatives are supporting Palin?

AND ENOUGH WITH THIS RELIGIOUS NONSENSE TOO!

Last time I checked this was a country of LIBERTY AND FREEDOM.

or was it JUSTICE? and was it "JUST FOR THE CHRISTIANS" or was it FOR ALL?

ENOUGH, Republicans are turning this country into a dictatorship where if you are not with the "norm" in COLOR, RELIGION, CONVICTIONS, FAMILY STRUCTURE , then you are no good.

You know sometimes I think we have some BIG GIGANTIC BRASS BAWLS to talk about uniformity in any way shape or form.

EVERYBODY GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM (and this land is not OUR land last time I checked) or embrace a state of UNITED brotherhood and HUMANITY.

oh and Enough with the Republicans already. out out out out with civil dissobedience if necessary, but OUT.

Graniteman,

Maybe it is because Democrats know how to look beyond the short term. Palin is VP on the ticket of the oldest running President in history. And to add to the concern, he is a twice over cancer survivor, 6 years into the typical 8 year recurrance of the cancer. So, who is running as VP on the ticket is as important as who is running for President because the chances the VP will become President is high.

Republicans should learn never to throw boomerangs from glass house. The Democrats suffer from maladies, but the hypocracy and double-speak of the Republicans this cycle is intolerable. I used to identify favorably with the Republican Party and John McCain. But his general campaign has ruined my faith in both institutions. I guess John McCain will keep running for President, but I wish he wouldn't.

HP in Boston. Saying Obama violated the Logan Act is like accusing McCain of having an illigitimate child in South Carolina. Even if you could substantiate your comment, John McCain's own statements during the course of the campaign would be enough to draw him up on the charges that you wish to level against Obama. Alternatively, why not look into McCain's associations with organizaed crime and draw up some RICO charges? Or let's go old school and talk about the Keating Five.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned by anyone but that bothered the heck out of me from the debate was that McCain never looked at Obama. To me that smacks of a lack of courage or at least graciousness which I would have expected McCain to have an abundance of given his age and experience.
Obama bothered me with raising his hand so much to get a question in: trying too hard to be a nice guy?

Ken,

There have been 3 or 4 Conservatives that have asked Palin to step down. One, a woman, was in support of Palin when she was first selected, but wrote an editorial after the Couric interview for her to step aside. They are concerned that the more she is allowed to talk, the more people will realize she is not ready for the major leagues of National Governmnent. If that happens, they are afraid the ticket will lose the independents and borderline Republicans.

All your comments and yet the wars drag on. If another country invaded America and occupied it and my wife and kids were killed I would have nothing. I don't care how long it would take, I would strap bombs to my chest and visit the country responsible. That is the Bush legacy and all McCain can do is underscore it and put an exclamation mark after it. And he’d do it with stupid pride. Bush and McCain paint a bulls-eye on an American city like Seattle or Boston or Miami and it stays there for at least fifty years. Go ahead and vote for John McCain if you live in the same fool's paradise as him and George Bush. In fact, because everyone is allowed to vote, some people vote who are idiots.

Brother,

you forget... those are not "real" people. It's like a video game. Who cares if their children are left limbless or thei little bodies are found only after removing rubble and sand... it's not "real" to us.

more than 75% of the time, we don't even hear about it.

BUt you know WHO does? the rest of the world.

who is the real terrorist now?

Hey HPBoston, Obama has dual citizenship? NO! But I guess you must be upset since you probably just got laid off from HP or did you get laid off while McCain's adviser, Fiorina, was CEO and left with 40 million? While McCain's blathered about CEO golden parachutes he denied that he was talking about Carly, "she's a great woman". McCain might be down to just racists by the time of the election.

hp boston has been let out of the asylum again i see

score enough good behavior points that they allow you a few minutes on the comp hp?

You can boldly go to war and put our kids lives at stake for lies too right. Electing Mc Same is ludicrous and to put Palin anywhere near a decision to put our kids in harms way even more so. Barack is not too nice he is however very intelligent as opposed to mc Grumpy. Senator Obama is a reasoned individual displaying a great temperament for being President of the United States. Senator Mc Same is going to have to replace his knee if he keeps jerking it this much. On Monday our fundamentals are strong then lets drop everything and run to Washington so we can distract America from the issues. Mc Grumpy does not want the focus on I am now down nine(9) points in the polls and my campaign manager Rick Davis has been taking $15,000 a month from Freddie Mac. Look the other way and don’t ask my running mate any questions while she is in the cocoon we are keeping her in. Senator Obama has on his economic team Warren Buffet, Robert Reich, Paul Volcker all great advisers. Obama can also walk and chew gum at the same time which Mr. Lets delay on the debate until some day when America is not focused on the economic crisis my Republican cronies created. Run to George W. Mc Same and then tell us how you are not exactly the same as him. You were against the AIG bailout and then for it, you blamed Obama for it all and now want to work with him. Take your meds you are getting frenetic and tough to keep up with what you believe. Your ruses wont pull any more wool over the American electorate. To recap Senator Obama is the by far better choice for our economy and our country and its standing in the world. OBAMANOS! SI SE PUEDE! YES WE CAN AND WILL WIN IN November! I am a decorated veteran of the US Army, My son fought it he 82nd Airborne in Iraq and I approve this message. Airborne all the Way and then some!

John Mccain v/s the Media.
I agree With Jefferson in his line of reasoning it is better to have even a vile, nauseous media rather than have no free media.
I guess right now Media is desperate to control the minds of the people but they have been sidestepped by technology. So in this WAR OF WORDS its technology that will triump and truth prevail.
McCain/ Palin 08

OMG Palin is a moron. I cannot believe that she seriously thinks that because Alaska is close to Russia, that gives her foreign policy experience and millions of suckas out there are gullible enough to fall for that one.
Yes, she is the female version of "W".
Her answers are pathetic as her views.
Well Cuba is even closer to Fla, does that give Gov Crist even more foreign policy experience? What a laugh....

Palin did revive the McCain ticket-but...the novelty of an unknown, mother and woman can only be stretched out for so long. Look all this is all cute but.
we are almost in a depression-This is serious stuff we are dealing with. Bantering each other with silly words doesn't change the balance of deficit. I might add the McCain voted for Cox and helped in degregulation. He was warned of the problems and didn't do anything. Now he wants to fire Cox? So does the republican? Too too late-the damage is already done. You need to keep Cox in there to clean up the mess he created and to be accountable. Thos who made a large profit of money should be fined 35 to 40 % on penalties. They knew exactly what they were doing. Socialism is what we are blaming on Obama. Lets see family are losing homes, due to not having insurance there is about 30 % of people dying because they can't get treatment, savings is not possible because every penny is going to put food on our table, heating, gas for the car and paying the mortgage. Our Captialism hasn't been working for the last 8 years. Prove to me it has-give me facts. Look at statistics about the loss to Americans in the areas I mention. I just cried when a family lost their loved one because their insurance was capped and had to take him off the ventilator. It was my daughters teacher's husband. give me a break!!!!

The problem with Palin's answers to Courics's questions is this:

Half of America thinks Palin DID do a good job. Half of America is so dumb that, because they didn't understand a word Palin said, they think she DID say something coherent.

This half of America NEVER understands what ANY politicians are saying because they have a first-grade mentality and simply cannot truly comphrehend anything past that level.

SO, Sarah can string a bunch of big words together in an incoherent stream of blather, and half of America thinks she is smart and polished and will vote for her. They are simply too dumb to know how dumb they are.

Let's get real. Of course, Biden has made ridiculous remarks. I cringe when he gets ready to speak. But there's a qualitative difference. It's one thing to get your history screwed up: it's another to say you have foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from an outlier island. Have you actually listened to some of those remarks???
