And I can't help but think about why she doesn't have a stock answer to that foreign policy question memorized at least. She knows that it is going to be asked. Memorize something, anything for pete's sake!

Whoa...the look of irritation on McCain's face (around 3:10) when he's about ready to answer a question and the question was for Palin...

...I think he regrets this VP choice as well.

Then, after Palin could not come up with any answers, McCain interjected and attempted to validate Palin's foreign policy experience by stating she (Palin) is in charge of the Alaska National Guard and Alaska has oil "and that's foreign policy". Palin just looked at McCain and nodded her head in agreement. If Palin cannot speak for herself and answer legitimate questions regarding policies and her experience, why does McCain even have this woman as a running mate. Honestly, this it's just not fair to Palin. she looks totally lost and it is becoming crystal clear that she is being "spoon-fed" every word that comes out of her mouth.

You know. I really care about this election. I am so amazed that a mascot for the radical right , with her SD alcohol hairspray and prop glasses thinks she can hoodwink an ENTIRE NATION..............................

The first dude ( now is refusing to answer the subpoena) They need to respect Americans a bit more.................WASILLA ALASKA DOES NOT REPRESENT AMERICA.

As bad as the thought of President Palin is, McCain is not much better. Plus he is bumbling and forgetful when in good health. And if his health went (which, given the pressures of the job of President is entirely possible in someone of his age) Palin would, literally, be a heartbeat away from President.

I cant imagine who would really be running this country if she were President.

Who would she turn over power to? Who would she listen to?

And to go from Duyba to Palin?

Man, could you imagine. After the world laughing at us for 8 years of the village idiot we get someone to replace him that knows less about foreign policy than I do, and perhaps millions of other people, as well.

She would make a good speech coach or teacher, is a good speaker and with her beauty queen looks can convey a sense of familiarity, which is great for small groups of people discussing small issues, but running the most powerful nation in the world is a far cry from freshman Gov. of less than a million people.

I wonder where all the Barack haters are who were constantly berating him for saying the wrong city a couple of times. Turns out our little Sarah thinks that CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA is Grand Rapids! Proud Capn Marine will be right on this I'm sure since he was constantly harping about Barack doing it.

Of course in her defense, she can't see IOWA from her house. Therefor she shouldn't be expect to know anything.

Are you serious? I can't get You Tube on my laptop, but my god....this lady is going to make Bush look bland and boring, if she is ever elected, with gaffes goofs and dumb**** quotes.
