Let’s come together as a country and deny McCain and Box of Rocks from getting elected and sending out country down a path of destruction.

VOTE!!!

The bar has been set so low by all our leaders, executives and politicians, that regardless of the debate's outcome, Palin won't even come close to the ineptitude of the crew that required $700 billion.

If ever there was a time for Palin and her limitations, it would be now since so many others are already at the bottom of the barrel.

Debbie Stevenson said :
“Sarah Palin will face Joe Biden in God’s strength with the talents and gifts that He’s blessed her with.”
‘For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’ Jeremiah 29:11

Ohhh Boy ! Watch out now Joe! Looks like McCain/Palin have now enlisted Jesus against you

Being a Roman Catholic myself Joe I’ll be sayin’ a couple of ‘Our Fathers’ and ‘Hail Marys’ for ya. I just can’t believe that Jesus is really dumb enough to throw His support to McCain/Palin.

Obvious who the media wants to win...

I agree with Sherron.If women voters were the concern, Mcain should have gone for someone like Kate Bailey Hutchinson.Bringing Sarah Palin to the ticket is really insulting for all Hillary Supporters because there is no way Palin can match up with Hillary Clinton .To me comparison is more like comparing elephant and a lamb.Clearly it is the pressure from Core Republicans like RUSH LIMBAUGH forced Mcain to shred his maverick image and come to a very mean decision.it did helped initially because Hillary women were very angry for her not being nominated as a democratic nominee, but in the long run it was expected to be a short hype affair. They thought they can get away with Economic issues until the elections with Palin hype.But their calcluations went dead wrong when the wall street collapsed and there is no way any other issue will top the voter's concerns other than Economy for a long long time.Women quickly realized that and it is showing up in polls.If you look at the polls it is very clear Independents and women voters who are holding back or leaning towards Mcain took a u turn by a big margin by now.If Palin doesnt prove good enough in todays debate, there is no question rest of the undecided's will flock over to Obama's campaign and he will win by a big margin in the coming election.

And based on Ms. Palin's speaking style, am I the only one who thinks that Yoda is for her writing?

From an Independent voter's perspective: I see the Democratic candidates' speeches and ads focusing presenting plans, ideas, and on occasion taking shots at McCain. However, on the flip side, ALL I have seen from the Republicans, in speeches, ads, interviews, etc is attacks on the Democrat's candidates.

The Republicans aren't addressing the issues which are important to me: The country's financial mess, regulation, economy, energy, security, & misappropriation of military assets. So far, and especially in the last few weeks, this has been a one-sided debate.

I have received multiple Democratic mailings, someone knocking at my door, and listened to ads...not asking for my vote but asking me to make sure I am registered to vote. What have I received from the Republicans, so far, this year? Attack ads.

For this independent, the decision is becoming awfully clear: Choose the candidates that talk about solving the issues and care enough that you actually participate in the democratic process.

This has nothing to do with oil. These welfare payments have been around for decades in Alaska. Palin and her parents have been on this system. This is what attracted them to Alaska.

By the way, why should we go to Alaska to bring big oil and use the money of U.S. taxpayers to encourage drilling and the people who are already on welfare in that state get money from the oil companies on top of the welfare they are receiving from other hard working Americans in every state? All of the American taxpayers who have been paying their welfare bill all these years should have been paid back before one payment was made to Alaskans.

Sarah Palin has been fooling everyone about reform. I encourage everyone to take a look into the welfare we have already been supporting in her state.

McCain is not choosing her for any other reason than he plans to get benefits for big oil just like Bush. It is all about big oil and keeping big oil happy. They really don't care about her positions or intelligence. Maybe her screw ups are intentional and she has wised up to this fact and she intents to take him out before he ruins her good deal. This would better explain why a seemingly confident and able woman is now acting like an idiot

It is all in the hands of moderator not to let her divert the topic but again now that the moderator is labelled as Pro-Obama she is expected to be in defensive approach.I think that was a smart play from Mcain and GOP campaign.All Biden could do is remind her again and again the debate is about Palin and Biden and they are VP candidates not presedential candidates.If he doesnt do that in a matter of time after the debate entire press will pounce on him and declare him as a loser in the debate.
