Listening to Palin trying to talk on her own to Couric reminded me of the now famous, “Miss Teen North Carolina” answer.

Very true. It was miss South Carolina though. Here is the clip.

I can’t remember the last time we cared so much about a VP’s foreign policy knowledge. I don’t think any of the Presidential candidates have been taken to task the way Palin was in the interview with Couric. Can we just assume that those who were not voting for McCain are still committed to vote for someone else? Do you really think Katie Couric is unbiased? In Obama’s 20 month tenure as a Senator from Illinois with 130+ ‘present’ votes, what are his foreign policy credentials?

The reason you can’t remember the last time we cared so much about a VP’s foreign policy knowledge is because we have never had a 72 year old presidential nominee. With his age it is quit possible the VP could become the Prez. before his four year term is up. GOD BLESS

Honey, don’t cry, you’ll still be my hot, moose-dressin’ sweetheart, even if that nasty Couric tore you to shreds!

Sarah might just be a bad interviewer. It doesn’t mean she is not qualified. Wait… …Yes it does! What was McCain thinking?

You may be right, but we’re in a post-Cheney world now. Things have changed.

Honestly then, I don’t think you’ve been paying attention. In fact, just recently Obama sat down with Bill O’Reilly and O’Reilly brought up Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, etc.

The truth is this…Palin is not instilling any confidence in her ability to lead. In fact, she’s so bad that people are starting to question McCain’s judgement. Simply put, you don’t put somebody so shaky in the spot that’s just a heartbeat away from the Presidency. But if you do, be prepared for the consequences. And we’ll see what those are in the coming weeks.

Evan as a Democrat, I take absolutely no joy in watching this sorrowful affair of an interview. This is all the more so because of the very real possibility that McCain could become president. By now, as Americans, we should have had enough after 8 years of assuming someone is qualified for office based on nothing more than the idea that an individual has personal qualities we can identify with.

I think that Px might have been referring to the theory that Ahmadinejad was quite possibly one of the persons involved in holding the hostages in 1979. A few months ago there were some pics traveling the net that bore a startling resemblance of him being one of the captors. Nothing was ever substantiated though.

Px, there seems to be some distortion of the facts in your post. Ahmadinejad wasn’t president in 1979 so it seems unlikely he will apologize for a decision that wasn’t his…and actually wouldn’t be his today if it happened again, since it is the Grand Ayatollah that is the commander-in-chief in Iran. Secondly, we would want to talk to someone like that because not talking accomplishes nothing. Iran has proven to be resilient in the fact of sanctions and I would guess even under the threat of war.

Also, the Iranian people seem to want democracy and a more liberal system of government, evident in the revolution of 1979 when several liberal factions were stifled by the, at the time, more powerful conservative religious elements in power (please note liberal and conservative mean different things in this discussion). Bringing in half a million troops to their country would not only probably prove disastrous militarily, but also could well line up the country behind the Khamenei, saying “I told you so, those Americans can’t be trusted.”

Are Steve Schmidt’s initials “JJ”?

You’ve posted the exact same comments in other threads. Anybody who seriously thinks Palin kicked anybody’s butt is delusional.

You’re an idiot.
