20% of America is Black???? You’re acting like Palin now….Your facts are uncertain!! Try Again and Vote for OBAMA

I thought that Sarah Palin was fantastic. She beat Joe Biden by a mile. Check out this video about the economic crisis.

My grandfather is 72 and he has early signs of Alzheimers….I would hate for McCain to get in office and begin to forget what he’s suppose to doing in office. You think we’re screwed now, We’ll really be screwed!!!

tp samp are you serious with “The only ones that’s giving her props is the individuals who don’t want an African American in the seat!!”
that makes me really angry. race has absolutely nothing to do with it and to insinuate that it does makes you the racist one. i haven’t decided who to vote for, but we do look at plenty of factors besides race when deciding who the next president will be.

This lady is a embarrassment to the republicans and to this country, she knows nothing about nothing, las night she only reapeat what they told her to say.
It’s amazing to think the some americans think what she did last night is anoughf to be a VP of the united states.
She has been the joke all around the world for the past 4 weeks and is very embarrassing for us.

Joe Biden continually contradicted himself last night. It’s clear that this guy (like Obama) will say whatever comes to mind @ the moment.

Biden and Palin had sparks and respect unlike the cold Presidential debate. Both did very well but Palin spoke for America’s heartland.

Can you imagine going to a job interview and winking at the interviewer.. not answering a question by going off on a tangents and cutesying it up with gee wilikers, and doggone its, and smarmy lil I’m a hockey mom.. dontch knows!! Ah gee!!

I think I just watched women’s lib rewind about 50 years right before my eyes watching that debate. And in the end Joe came across as a warmer family man then a woman with like 5 kids! What the heck was that??

Good job Sarah …… how about answering now for Troopergate.

I am sure you will ‘wink and smile’ your way out of it …. silly *****

hahaah she represents exacly what the world think about the americans, stupid ,dumb, arrogants, americans can’t find they own country in the map ,sorry but this is how americans are to the to the rest of the world, Sarah Palin has done such a great job as a american.

quit lying @ 10/03/2008 at 2:03 pm

First of all I’d like to remind the obama lovers that Biden also went home to get prepared for his debate with his team of advisors. It’s okay for Biden who’s done this for what 33 years and not okay for Palin to study up with advisors?????? Give me a break they both studied and prepped and done really good and Palin really impressed me as I’m sure she done many others.

Joe

Every woman of age has the right to choose what happens to her womb. Maybe Sarah should have been watching over her daughter. 17 is not a good example for our young American girls to start having children. She apparently need to be at home.

No doubt Sarah Palin won the debate. She is amazing and awesome. She is more qualified than Obama. She has more executive experience than Obama.

Joe Biden is an idiot for sure. He doesn’t know what he is talking even though he has so many years’ experience. Sarah Palin the newcomer beat the hell of him during the debate. I love Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin will be VP of America. Go Sarah.

Sarah Palin is a joke, a stupid lady , she can see Russia from her window hahahahahahahah

BIDEN>>>Palin HAHAHA @ 10/03/2008 at 2:20 pm

Biden won, easily. When Fox News’ own polls have Biden winning, it’s clear Palin lost. She couldn’t answer a single question.

She stopped her personal bleeding long enough to get back to her governorship of Alaska (a state slightly less populated than the City of San Francisco) on November 5. This arrogant woman is an example of what occurs when we permit the human ego boundless reins. It takes more than physical attractiveness to serve in the capacity of the top positions in our political government. It would appear a percentage of Americans have come to expect so much less of our leaders since despicable Bush-Cheney have been on the scene for the past eight years; however, I trust the greater percentage of our society in 2008 is grounded, wise, intelligent, and fully comprehend a McBush-McPain team is not the answer with America involved in two wars and the looming challenges of the U.S. economy. The (real) Palin is the one who was interviewed by (two) professional journalists. The Palin last night is the maverick who thinks she and McCain should abide by a different set of rules than the rest of society by reading from her list of points prepared by McCain’s campaign staff while not answering the “questions” but interjecting completely different topics into the debate. She was second runner-up in a beauty pageant and will never be a queen as she simply does not have the authentic gray matter to do so and is simply a tomboy hick who doesn’t have the class to sit at the table with world leaders. We don’t need two mavericks in the White House at this crucial time in our nation’s history but a team of capable, intelligent, thoughtful, and calm leaders to confront the challenging times ahead for (all) of us.

Obama-Biden ‘08!!!!
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for The Supreme Court!!!!!

A bunch of people say that Sarah Palin doesn’t have any experience?!? If that is the case then Barack Obama has…. ZERO experience. She has had to run a state. All Obama has run is his senate staff.

GO PALIN!
She beat Biden by a landslide. She is so down to earth and easy to love unlike her opponent Biden. He is a scummbagg!

Palin sounded more like someone running for junior class vice president than VP of the USA. A trained parrot could be taught to repeat talking points which is all she was doing. I think that her answer about Cheney and the powers of the VP alone should be enough to disqualify her. Wake up people - can we set the bar any lower?

Hats off to Joe Biden, a respected statesman!

Joe : to respond to your previous comment , abortion is a woman right.

and i agree with ELLE setting her daughter as an exemple it’s not good for young american girls.At 17, you should go backpacking to europe if you get that chance, if you don’t have that chance then you should find what kind of job you would like to do, or what kind of relationship you want to have : it’s experience, fun and learning.
You should not change diapers without mentioning providing food or healthcare for your baby !!!! her daughter is lucky because they have money but think about the not so lucky one.

to respond to your new comment, Obama might not have experience, but at least HE Is intelligent, and he knows what he is talking about.

To so:
Well, he can read books about being in charge… but Palin has lived and practiced being in charge.

To Jared : i expect him to be intelligent enough to process quickly what he has learned from these books, versus Palin to be in charge and then read books about economics, diplomacy, wars, geography, history,…see my point ? because it’s going to take a million years just to process the first page ;)

come on, be real !

Just watch this people.

I love Sarah Palin and she did an awesome job last night.
She is ready and if people don’t think so then just look at Obama. Good job Jared. I like what you said :)

1st time hearing Joe Biden speak and I was very impressed, he’d definitely be a smarter choice for VP than George W. Bush IN A SKIRT!!!!! (Palin)

BIDEN CLEARLY WON THIS DEBATE!!!!!

Palin couldn’t even keep up with answering the questions that were asked, SOOOOO HOW CAN ANYONE SAY SHE WON THIS DEBATE!!!!!

SHE LOST, ACCEPT DEFEAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!!
