Too bad they chose "insane McCain", the GOP had better options. But that's what you get when you take a dive. The GOP blew up any shot at this when they chose a Kennedy Democrat over a real Republican. But at least Palin will have a future after this fiasco.

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* 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 and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a true Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* 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.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.
* If your husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

ok - now I get it.... or do I?

I believe McCain lost the election 2 weeks ago. In 2004 it was national security. Bush won. It's 2008 and it's the economy... favors Democrats.

Obama has an average of a 6 point lead. Leading McCain 300+ on the electoral map.

A month ago I would have said this would be a close election. No longer. Obama has clearly moved far ahead.

too late? I thought the election is a month away?

McCain should have opposed the bail-out and shown himself to be a real "maverick".... and also made a distinct showing of who caused this mess and how the Dem-wit's got us to this point. Now we will have to listen to Osama Bin lying for 4 years! Oh well, the pendulum swings...I don't think I'll bother to vote this time..... it would be a waste of my time!

Okay, I am convinced that the polls are fixed. Right after the debate a poll was taken (Fox) who did better Biden or Palin and the poll reflected Palin 85% and Biden 17%. And, this morning many of the polls reflect just the opposite.

Who owns the "media"? Biden lied outrageously. He said that Barack Obama never said he would sit down and talk unconditionally with leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmedinijad. Every single person that has a television and watched one of the debates with Obama clearly heard Obama say this. Last night it was "drill we must" out of Biden’s mouth. Joe Biden HAS NEVER back drilling for oil? NEVER. Biden stated that under Obama, Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan---that is a complete untruth and he knows it (did you see his face when he uttered those words)?

Joe Biden’s job as Vice President is to sit (according to Biden) “right there” at all of the meetings and give the inexperienced, wet behind the ears Obama advice. Palin like most Americans is tried of this type of government. She wants government to go back to the old saying “say what you mean, and mean what you say”. Palin understands our energy needs; she has run (executive experience) a huge State. Obama is a community organizer that left his charge Chicago, Illinois with the most crime in the nation.

Americans need to vote for bills that fix things, not because the bill has been sweetened with pork (gifts to them) but because they are there to do what is right for America--get these other people out of office! I finally got it...Obama isn't more of the same, he is much worse; he is at the top of what is ruining America. Obama has his “cult” and his Obama Truth Squad; his rules are do not ask anything about my past, my past acquaintances, only stick to the issues. He still doesn’t get it. “Character” should be one of the MOST important characteristics of a President. His wife in her college thesis stated “There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.” A statement not worthy of the country’s first lady---all Americans should come first and foremost.

Former Clinton administration press secretary Mike McCurry:

"Joe scored more points, she won more hearts."

"She's reassuring. People get a feel for her."

"She was more confident, her head was in a better place

The main-stream media would like it to be "too late" for McCain. Fortunately, the media doesn't get to decide the presidency.

Our country is hurting, it has problems and both parties are to blame because we have people in these parties that do not have their hearts in the right place. The choice is clear. If you want someone that has put “America first”, actually fought for our country, a “maverick” that has chosen another maverick (it shouldn’t matter that she is a female) to put America back on track, you select John McCain-Sarah Palin. If you want more of the same, Biden whispering into the ear of Obama, more taxes, less defense, someone waving a “white flag” America gives up, and socialism, then vote for Barack Obama-Joe Biden.
No party affiliation, just a concerned American

The Media Better get "With it"
Sarah Palin was wonderful.

The media is not being honest about our candidates. Actually they haven’t been honest about Obama since day one.

Why is anyone pushing Obama and Biden.

Obama has no experience.
He’s risky.
He is scary.
His friends, his associates and his background should be questioned daily.

Rev. Wright, Farrakhan, Rezko, William Ayers, Father Plaeger and now ACORN.

Please keep investigating this man.
Obama is running for President of our country, not for a “public speaker” position.

If the media doesn't do it's job. Obama and the children that are supporting him, might rap in the White House.

Obama is embarrassing.

Joe Biden won the debate. He answered each and every question and to the point. Joe really impressed me. On the other hand, Palin, did not answer most of her questions and some of her answers were not sensible or has no clarity. She was reading from que cards which was embarrassing. Palin showed to the whole world that she is incompetent for the job.

Anne,
you made your point against yourself.
MANY (including independent) polls reflect Biden won...then FOX is the FIX...wake up to your own truth

I did not appreciate her EAST COAST PEOPLE REMARK,She has no Idea about East Coast people her first time to NY last week, this woman is so out of touch with us its not funny she needs to go back to Alaska!

she delivered

what did she seliver

folksy...with a memorized three point insult.

we have seen this...

she can't answer follow ups

she couldn
't answer the first ones half of the time

this is crazy talk

"she delivered"

what are you talking about?

reddog0216 - what you are saying is that the "Fox" poll might be correct? I watched Fox last night because I had to use the computer. Biden impressed me of just more of the same...pork bills, voting for bills that you do not approve of and so forth. He will be the man whispering into Obama's ear.
