Sue, Billerica, MA   September 4th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

John, do you know the difference between a hockey mom VP candidate and a pitt bull – the former is more viscous when it attacks!

John, do you know the similarity between a hockey mom VP candidate and a pitt bull – pit bullsh*t!

Don't worry John, I'll turn Biden into mooseburgers!

David, Foster City   September 4th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

About vetting ... When I said I was "right-wing", I meant the position that I play when I'm being a hockey mom. See that camera? You've been Punk'd!

Kimberly Laux Sherman Oaks, CA   September 4th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Tom, Everett, WA   September 4th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

My speech? Oh, I didn't even bother following the script, Senator. I just ad-libbed the whole thing like Anderson Cooper does all the time on his show.

Sue, Billerica, MA   September 4th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

I wasn't lying when I said we would be agents of change... afterall, the VP house will be changing a lot of diapers, and together we can change things back to the good old days.... of crusades and religious oligarchy!

Dan   September 4th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

What is this business with having a "Drill Offshore" banner next to a "Energy Independence" banner? This like an.. oxyprotest. Also, the "Drill baby drill" chant makes me sick to my stomache.

Dennis Mitchell, Honolulu, HI   September 4th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

"John the crowd is out there."

Would you marry me, I know you did the same to your ex-wife should not be a problem

RA, Missouri   September 4th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

Hey Good Ole Boy, I dont know if I can really do this. I couldn't get own my daughter to follow my ideas, how can I get a country that doesn't like america to do what I say. If you die, what will I do?

Dori in AZ   September 4th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

One more little thing I forgot to tell you. . . I've got 'bundle of joy #6' on board!

Denise   September 4th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

Hi John,
Not much diversity at the RNC. I feel right at home! Since Alaska lacks diversity as well!!!

The wax figure of John McCain that Ms. Palin dragged out onto the stage appeared amazingly lifelike!

John – look at the TelePrompter! It even spells! Noo-klee-er!

Dori in AZ   September 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

John, give me a few days and you'll be the wind beneath my wings.

Dori in AZ   September 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

John, I've decided, along with a few of your GOP friends, to reverse the ticket. You are now the VP candidate.

Dori in AZ   September 4th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

Be careful what you pray for!

Dori in AZ   September 4th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

Of course, I'm cutthroat! Have you ever cleaned a moose?

Sudarshan Fresno, CA   September 4th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

John, do you think i attracted all the Hillary's women voters?

Laxmi Fresno, CA   September 4th, 2008 7:48 pm ET
