Her NRA, Evangelical, What's global warming go t to do with man? Clearly trying to grab the HRC unhappies ( very sexist) etc is her platform and leaves single tasking McCain to deal with War and Foreign affairs. By His own admission Mccain is not and expert on Economics but thinks by showing up in DC he can solve the problem If you have Representatives or Senators who have economics masters or MBA's in Finanace maybe they have something to contribute,technically. Actually all they can do is do what they did Oversight, Exec pay, type of protection to Taxpayers, form of investment and how much goes to wall street or main street. Technically the three wise men who cooked this up can run rings round all house and senate members. all. Regards, Hodgson. His choice of Palin was politicaly vote only motivated and nothing else.

You said Mccain has turned out to be dishonest, dishonorable and diversionary in terms of the truth about Obama and about the nation’s problems. I feel this is the most honest and real comments that I have read in the last couple of days. Mccain/Palin terrifies me with the thought that these two could be our next president and vice president. I can't see where either of them are ready just based on what we've been exposed to over the last month alone. These lies, flipping back and forth, and the pure mismanagement, and lack of leadership of his campaign has shown everyone just how screwed up we'll be if he is chosen for president. He is showing that he is desperate and out of control with a very bad temper all of which none of us in this country need in a president. He is definitely more of the same and personally I don't want another Cocky, uncaring president in the office. I hope people will not continue to fall for his nonsense, enough is enough!!!!!! Carl,

She make's Dan Quayle look qualified. It's incredibly scary to think Palin could be VP. As far as I am concerned the media is doing their job. I expect any candidate regardless of party to know the subject matter and the issues. I want someone who is knowledgable and well versed and spoken. The world is watching and I would think that they are looking for someone who is cultured and sophisticated. I don't like Cheney(Darth) but at least he knows what he is talking about.

Prominent conservative Kathleen Parker, admittedly, among the Palin pep squad has now come out to say that Palin's recent interviews clearly show that she is way over her head. Parker writes that "it was fun while it lasted" now she is calling on Palin to stop the bleeding and step down. Prominent Conservatives David Brooks, George Will, and David Frum have also questioned Palin's readiness to lead. The Palin pick by John Mcain was a monumental error in judgment from the Maverick (Gambler). Those who supported this pick should be tired of being embarrassed every time their candidate opens his/her mouth. Conservatives, like the rest of us, have had to stomach about 2,800 days (almost 8 years) of inarticulate ignorance. It would be great if they could find a candidate that they do not have to cross their fingers and hold their breath for during interviews and spin for afterwards. This is America and our 1st Amendment freedom of speech right is sacred. However, the consistent abuse of this right is blasphemous.

IT picked a man simply because he was Black, and thought that Americans were tired of Bush and The Repubs, so that thought for sure they had a winner. Little did they know, that they would piss-off half of the Party, with their pick. so now because of not doing what is right, by both The DNC, and Obama,not picking HRC as his V.P. they have haned the White House, back to The Republicans, for at least the next 4-8 years, or maybe longer, if Gov. Palin,runs for POTUS, after they win The White House in Nov. Smart move Dems, I think 3rd graders, would have known better, then to pick a no-body.

I am a democrat but I respected McCain for his patriotism and the love for his country. But by picking Palin he has shown how short sighted and self centered this choice has been. He did not have the country's interest in mind. God forbid but at 84 and after recovering from Cancer several times if something is to happen to him during the 4 years in office Sarah Palin is no way capable, qualified, ready to be the president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! She can't even answer a question from a reporter without beating around the bush! Very unfortunate choice. This is very scary. Unfortunately, the average Joe on the street whose votes could sow the seeds for disaster has no idea what implications this could have on our country economically, politically, and from National Security point of view.
