“We’ve gone through periods of our life here with paying out of pocket for health coverage until Todd and I both landed a couple of good union jobs”

Yep, talking up the benefits of union membership. A sure winner when trying to win over conservatives!

Lets stop with the gender nonsense Palin should not receive special treatment because of her gender. Look at facts. If a vp candidate said that he/she had foregin policy experiance because she lives in close promimity to russia, most people will say that the individual is unqualified. Be realistic. Second, her sob story of being the average joe is funny considering that the republican party is not for the average american. Republicans want to give $300 billion dollars to the rich and coporations who created this economic mess. Taxing my healthcare is not helping the average american. It is helping big coporations. so spare me.

Yes, but unlike most Americans who must live on a fixed income, when Sarah and Todd need extra cash they can always bill the State of Alaska for living in their own home.

I don't want Joe Six Pack, Josephine Six Pack, or anyone who lies when they say they had a union job when they didn't. I don't want somebody who has dinner with Joe Lieberman and folks at one of the most expensive, exclusive restaurants in Washington's finest hotel while Congress implodes. I dont want somebody who hides behind handlers' coattails and then complains when their ignorance is exposed with a simple question. I don't want someone who has whored themselves to a shell of their former respectable self for pure political gain. OBAMA BIDEN 08

Seriously...in 45 seconds she couldn't even name one. Even if she couldn't name a national newspaper like NY Times, WaPo, she could've at least named the Anchorage Daily News! This woman is dangerous to our country...we don't need another moron driving us off the cliff.

Palin might be able to "relate" to the average American with her background. However, running for VP today with our country facing record financial crisis, war, loss of jobs, etc.
We need a President and VP who can SPEAK intelligently, one who can face foreign heads of state with knowledge and understanding. One who can answer a question DIRECTLY!
I am not impressed with her being touchable like the average American, if she is going to represent us she needs to KNOW HOW and she doesn't!

If Palin's husband is part Upik (sp?) Eskimo, as she claimed when first nominated, then because Todd Palin is an Alaska Native Indian, Palin's kids are also part Eskimo and will all receive free medical health care for the rest of their lives. Where's the struggle in that, Palin knows she didn't have to worry about her kids getting sick or her husband either, because the government provides free health care for all Alaska Natives and American Indians from birth through death.

Why keep dening what is obvious like the "bridge to no where" or "earmark." I don't care what church you were in, but I cann't trust some one who does't believe in Evolution or Global Warming. According to what I have heard, Palin also said that human and dinorsaur co-existed 6,000 years ago. Pathetic

Katie Couric asked Palin which newspapers and magazines she reads to keep up with events. Palin's reply was "All of them".

Couric ask her again SPECIFICALLY name some. Palin says "All of them".

She couldn't even name NYT, WSJ, Time, Newsweek, or even her own state's ADN.

And that's her problem. Palin has never had any National or international interest.

Hostilty by the press?? Who the heck is she kidding?
She mostly has gotten a pass.

Whatever has been done, Palin has done it to herself.
Her answers to very simple questions were ... well extremely lacking.

She easily could have admitted that being governor of Alaska does not equate to meaningful foreign relations experience. Then she could have moved on.

I am sure she made a decent mayor and may be an effective governor for a very low population state. But qualified to be President - no way!

I somehow feel a little sorry for her. But my love of this country is too strong.

There is no way that I could ever vote for John McCain and put Sarah Palin one 72 year old heart beat away from the Presidency of this great nation. We deserve better.

Beverly in Chicago — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:48:06 GMT

Now, I'm really getting conflicted messages.
================================================
The Rick Davis issue is a NON issue.

It would have been important BUT, Sen. McCain DID introduce legislation to correct the Fannie/Freddie issue. The bill was shot down and not even allowed a vote by the Democrats. So, I ask how is the Rick Davis thing an issue (other than the media looking to pin something on McCain)?
If the media were fair, it would point out that even WITH the Rick Davis connection... McCain still pushed to correct this pending disaster in 2005!!
That might hurt their chosen candidate though... so they won't be fair.
=========================================================
Sorry Kevin, in Detroit, Michigan
You’re wrong. There's sooooo much more to the issue. Rick Davis was still getting paid as og Aug, 2008; last night.
Also, McCain with his 83 lobbyist and Palin’s oil lobbyist, trooper—gate, the first Dude interjecting himself in Alaska’s government, (big problem for a high school as co-president,) her immaturity and lack of domestic and foreign policy, plus McCain’s advisors to Georgia, the Wall Street meltdown, 700 million dollars a month to China, 135,733 as of September, 30th 2008, the Iraqi lost lives and hardships due to war. Not to mention over 4 thousand American lives lost, the blood of our sons, daughters, sisters, husbands, wives, cousins, friends, and any other American related to this senseless war will be more of the same.

"Todd and I both landed a couple of good union jobs"

And you're still Republicans? Have you asked the average Kool Aid drinking Republican how they feel about unions lately? Have you examined the history of unions and the GOP?

"it’s time that normal Joe Six Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency"

By demonstrating the chops of someone who's already finished off that preverbial six pack? Why is it a good idea for an average Joe to hold a position that demands critical thought? Would you like Joe Six-Pack as your brain surgeon, too?

I'm amazed that people seem to think that just because someone has had similar life experiences to you, they automatically agree with you on political issues. John McCain was in the military yet he didn't support the most recent GI bill to give our troops more benefits when they come home. Sarah Palin experienced not having heath care for her family yet she doesn't want to help struggling families get affordable coverage for themselves and their families. This is what most people would define as HYPOCRITICAL, and why in the hell would we want hypocrites in the highest office in the land? Oh, wait, we already have one, and look how that worked out. Barack Obama watched his single mom struggle to take care of he and his sister and he wants to help struggling families with everything from tax relief to affordable health care to affordable college. He and Michelle just paid off their student loans a few years ago and they know how difficult it is. Don't we want our next President to not only have shared our life experiences but to also want to turn around and try to help all of those of us citizens of this country who are going through those same struggles? I think that is called "learning compassion through experience", much preferable in my book to "hypocrite". But hey, that's just me!

Oh, and the dude also makes about $22K in the hobby sport he has (snow mobiles?)
