Well, you would know...

You have to admit Palin came off poorly in that interview.....

did you watch the video, or did you just read the cliff notes?

I did watch the video. It seemed to me that she couldn't hold her own when confronted on McCain and his policies.....

Since she's seeking such an important position, wouldn't you like that she was coherent about the ticket she was on?

Its pretty bad when Laura Bush says Palin is unqualified. But then again, GWB was about as qualified then as Palin is now.

Yep, almost as bad as your running mate saying that your unqualified.

I loved this part of the interview:

PALIN: ...The interesting thing in the last couple of days that I have seen is that Americans are waiting to see what John McCain will do on this proposal. They're not waiting to see what Barack Obama is going to do. Is he going to do this and see what way the political wind's blowing. They're waiting to see if John McCain will be able to see these amendments implemented in Paulson's proposal.
COURIC: Why do you say that? Why are they waiting for John McCain and not Barack Obama?
PALIN: He's got the track record of the leadership qualities and the pragmatism that's needed at a crisis time like this.
COURIC: But polls have shown that Senator Obama has actually gotten a boost as a result of this latest crisis with more people feeling that he can handle the situation better than John McCain?
PALIN: I'm not looking at poll numbers. What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at track records and see who's more apt to be talking about solutions and wishing for and hoping for solutions for some opportunity to change, and who's actually done it?
Facts? I ain't got no facts! I don't need no facts! I don't have to show you any stinkin' facts!

Why do I need polls to show me what the American people think, when I can just make up my own crap?

Yep, almost as bad as your running mate saying that your unqualified.

Or one of your top advisors saying that neither of you could run a corporation.

Or your chief economic advisor claiming that the disastrous economy is all in our heads and we're just a nation of whiners...a few months before Wall Street completely collapses.

Temper that comment with the fact that Carly Fiorino couldn't run HP either...

Exactly. Don't get caught telling the wrong truth in the middle of a political campaign.

Isn't it ironic how many say Katie Couric is in over her head as a news anchor, to see how much better she looks than Sarah Palin who really looks unqualified.

Has anybody seen the Sarah Palin church video? The one in which two guys are "laying hands on her" (yeah, baby, yeah!) while some African medicine man implores God to make a way for her in politics and protect her against witchcraft?

who cares what she (or Obama) does in church as long as she doesn't attempt to put it into law?

did you watch the video, or did you just read the cliff notes? I bet I could post a link to the dancing banana singing about PB&J with a thread title about how Obama wears women's underwear and it would take about 50 posts before anyone noticed that the link had nothing to do with the title. She didn't come off bad at all on the interview. She did what any reasonable, and believable, person would do. She didn't have an answer and fessed up to it. I would rather hear that than have her lie like most politicians do. In fact, this whole thread is making a mountain out of mole hill. I don't know why this is even news.

"In latest news, Palin was overheard in the bathroom farting. It sounded like a D flat. Compare that to Obama's F sharp and we can clearly see who should be elected however, we have our analysts analyzing the sound with super sensative equipment to verify this information and will report back when we have our results."

Meltdown.
LOL public meltdowns are never pretty.

So, you would vote for a Muslim just as much as for any other religion, right, 'as long as they don't put it into law'? How many Americans do you claim would?

I think one of the points here is that it appears to a lot of people that Palin *would* put her radical views into policy. She's not JFK on Catholocism. Remember Terri Schiavo?

Given the appalling possible downside, who the hell wants to take that chance?

Usually, I agree with that statement. But in cases in which witchcraft, snake-dancing, speaking in tongues, or killin' Jews and blowing up little kids for Allah are mentioned, I make an exception.
