- ginny56, on 10/04/2008, -7/+119I don't know which is scarier, Palin's ignorance on issues or McCain's insistance that she knows what she is talking about. He truly can't believe that. Which means he is a liar.
- duckley, on 10/04/2008, -7/+78FTA:
We’ve lived through nearly two terms of a Cheney-Bush-Rove "administration" that believed it could create its own reality:
“Deficits don’t matter.” “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job.” “Those weapons of mass destruction must be somewhere.” - inactive, on 10/05/2008, -8/+71I hated Palin before it was cool.
- voxlisa999, on 10/04/2008, -5/+64This is exactly why McCain is so angry all the time. He now realizes she has no intellect or knowledge or education. He didn't know who the hell she was. He was bamboozled into this pick- lied to by the Bush/Cheney/Rove crowd running his campaign. They thought they could package her like they packaged Bush in 2000. No doubt she lied about her own credentials. This woman hired a City Manager when she was elected part-time Mayor of a hamlet of 5500 people because she had no administrative skills!!
McCain is embarrassed by her. We all know that. She doesn't even really govern Alaska- her aides do. She's a very good actress. I bet she gets her own reality TV show. People want to watch her the same way they were drawn to the freak shows at the turn of the century. The reason OJ gets ratings and Anna Nicole Smith got ratings. People don't come to see her or tune in because she is "so much like them." In fact, it is quite the opposite. It's because she's so bizarre. The Republicans publicly say great things about her that they DO NOT BELIEVE. 99% of them anyway. They all know she's an idiot, trying to sexualize herself to get votes- but apparently Conservatives really don't have any principles after all.
Palin is already running for 2012. The "Legally Blonde" movies are her template. She really believes that people (on the right) are taking her seriously. Oh what? She's going to study hard for the next 4 years and become super intelligent? Sorry Sarah, it's not in the genes. - Markb3489, on 10/04/2008, -3/+58Seriously, we get it
We know his middle name is hussein, but not being bigot morons like yourself, he won't lose our votes over it. - clankster, on 10/05/2008, -7/+60Joe Sixpack here. Please stop pretending to be like me, you duplicitous beauty queen/robot.
- stafax, on 10/04/2008, -3/+43Explain how being a mayor and governor makes Palin more qualified then Obama? She doesn't know what Hamas is or where the Gaze Strip is. Just because she's governor doesn't mean *****, Alaska is one of the least populated states. The city of Indianapolis has a larger population then the entire state of Alaska.
- ss180, on 10/05/2008, -6/+44"But after Senator Biden suggested that John McCain’s answer to the nation’s energy problems was to “drill, drill, drill,” Ms. Palin promptly pointed out, as if scoring a point, that “the chant is ‘Drill, baby, drill!’ ”"
I wanted to slap her so hard when I first heard her say that - ElJif, on 10/05/2008, -1/+30What? his name is Hussein??!! He must be related to Saddam Hussein!! I was gonna vote for him but thanks to you Dethknite I won't be making that mistake.
- Michael9636, on 10/05/2008, -2/+31The district Obama represented when he was an Illinois Senator had a larger population than the entire state of Alaska.
- 5celery, on 10/04/2008, -5/+33The only way McCain/Palin can win is to pretend we are in a fantasy world in which they are the better candidates.
Reality, truth, history and public opinion are against them. - brishchik, on 10/04/2008, -5/+30Right on the money. In fact Palin herself mumbled something like she was in for 5 weeks, so didn't know much about the effect of economic meltdown on their future plans.
- DigitAl56K, on 10/05/2008, -0/+24If you don't like the stories don't click them.
This is a nytimes.com article, not a huffingtonpost.com article. You've copied and pasted this comment into 5 articles now. Please stop spamming. - franklymister, on 10/05/2008, -6/+27Why can't we have a serious Republican candidate for VP?
This is just insulting. - qwer777, on 10/05/2008, -1/+20*reads title*
I reject your reality and substitute my own. - magus_melchior, on 10/05/2008, -0/+19We don't know that, but we do know that you're a twit for trying to turn that into an insult.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -1/+20This is why I'm voting Obama even though I was a registered Republican and voted for Bush twice. I finally learned that party affiliation doesn't f*cking matter. What matters is whether somebody with integrity and accountability can get the job done.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/05/2008, -1/+20Because they put a moron in the White House who did everything they told him. Why stop now?
- ElJif, on 10/05/2008, -2/+20What's scary is that millions of people don't really care about that and they'll still vote for them regardless of their qualifications. She, apparently, can connect with the everyday person and that qualifies her to be a heartbeat away from one of the most powerful positions in the world.
- RipleyIsDead, on 10/05/2008, -0/+18Every rational person in this country should agree unreservedly with everything in this article, and still McCain/Palin have a very good chance of winning this election.
WHAT THE ***** IS WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY??? - cheesegypsy, on 10/05/2008, -3/+20As my wife has pointed out: there are so many capable, smart women in the Republican party who were available for the VP slot if he wanted to choose someone because of their gender, and clearly he chose Palin for not only her gender, but her sex appeal. Palin is consistently polling higher with men than with women because for Republican men she fits the perfect stereotype: smart, but covers it up with a dumb act, and she has a puritanical naughtiness about her that is half sexy/half tease. She's not threatening to men because she acts just dumb enough, something like a Hooters waitress that is working herself through college but would never let on that she's too smart to keep the tips high.
- charm803, on 10/05/2008, -0/+17You're right.
I saw "Religulous" yesterday and when they were talking about Bush, a lady was quoted as saying:
"I don't know his politics, but I'm going to vote for him based on his faith." (Or something like that-I can't recall it verbatim.)
Sadly, this is the reason many people are supporting McCain & Palin, even though their own actions are not very Christian like.
Mormons would never vote for Obama because being dark is considered a punishment in the Mormon faith-yet they use religion to justify it.
Scary, right? - threemagic, on 10/05/2008, -1/+16If I was McCain I'd fire
a) the people that recommended her
b) anyone that had any part of her background check
pew pew pew - fsumus, on 10/05/2008, -4/+19Joe Sixpack? What about Joe Keg?
- whit4brains, on 10/05/2008, -1/+16Hey Sarah -
I can see the end of your political career from my house! - wastelander, on 10/05/2008, -0/+13"Mormons would never vote for Obama because being dark is considered a punishment in the Mormon faith-yet they use religion to justify it."
Not any more. Just like polygamy, when it became a problem someone had a "revelation" and changed it. Convenient how that works out. I guess Mormons are nothing if not pragmatic. - scottknick, on 10/05/2008, -4/+17Actually, Palin is completely qualified to be president -- a president in the Reagan/George W.Bush mold. That is, some dimwit to do the photo ops while the corporate lobbyists do all the hard work of running the government.
- magus_melchior, on 10/05/2008, -0/+12He posted this in a previous US Elections discussion already. Clearly, he didn't follow up on the threat, so he's a moron.
Check out his LAST FOUR comments as of tonight:

I mean, WTF? If you don't like the content, don't troll. - wjboyer, on 10/05/2008, -1/+13@dethknite
*just a little note to correct your spelling of Governor.
*just a little note to say that your Governor/Mayor candidate for VP cannot, or will not answer questions from a moderator.
*just a little note to say that your Governor/Mayor candidate for VP cannot or will not say which sources that she reads for up to the minute information that could or would effect the nature of the national economy, national security, international relations, national judiciary, but you betcha she gets annoyed at the reporter who asked such unimportant questions.
*just a little note to say that your Governor/Mayor candidate for VP cannot put a thought into a sentence unless it has the talking points that are of primary importance to the McCain campaign (SNL did not have to write her responses to many of the questions asked, but maybe they should have cause they would have made sense)
*just a little note to say that your Governor/Mayor candidate for VP cannot dodge the fact that her Alaskan administration cut the budget for the Alaskan Special Olympics by half, and in her speech today, she proclaimed that special needs kids are priority one for her. - thegrantman, on 10/05/2008, -5/+16Sarah Palin : "her vacuity is almost zenlike."
-Bill Griffiths,author of the comic Zippy,originally used to describe Dan Quayle. - YEEK, on 10/05/2008, -0/+11Easy... statistically speaking, half the population of the country is dumber then the other half.
- magus_melchior, on 10/05/2008, -2/+13You only think Palin has more experience because you take Palin at her word, and you fall for the myth that the McCain campaign still trumpets that experience before Presidency somehow matters.
I thought we answered this question in the Democratic primary. If experience really mattered to us, Clinton would win in a landslide against Obama. - JAB6, on 10/04/2008, -8/+19Is Sarah Palin qualified to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency? You bethca! And if you believe that I know a whole bunch of folks who have bridges to nowhere they'd like to sell you. ;) ;) ;)
- guyincognitoo, on 10/05/2008, -2/+13Even if you were to say there experience level is the same, the rest of Obama's resume far out weighs hers. He would get more experience in one month as president then she has in her lifetime.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/05/2008, -0/+11Mob rule is the fundamental problem with a true democracy, which is what we are devolving into. We are supposed to be a Republic.
On the flip-side, our representatives are supposed to REPRESENT us, not do whatever lobbyists pay them to do.
So, how do you win this one? The only legitimate way is to ban lobbyists and publicly finance campaigns. - spaceman84, on 10/05/2008, -1/+11McCain has been angry all of the time for the last 30+ years.
- mislam, on 10/05/2008, -0/+10add nytimes.com, abcnews.com, cbsnews.com, time.com, newsweek.com... Heck just put a filter that will forward all your outbound requests to 127.0.0.1
- jruygne, on 10/05/2008, -0/+10Obama's got the college age bracket locked up.
- iofthestorm, on 10/05/2008, -0/+10What the *****? I don't understand this argument at all. Constitutional scholar from Harvard vs a ***** hockey mom who doesn't know anything about public policy? You neocons are really something.
- cherwilco, on 10/05/2008, -0/+10lol, did a google search on Obama's education;
After graduating high school from Punahou School in Hawaii, Barack Obama attended Occidental College for two years, then got his B.A. from Columbia University. He later got his law degree from Harvard Law School (where he became the Harvard Law Review's first black president), graduating magna cum laude. Obama was also a lecturer of constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School.
and now palin;
She received her bachelor's degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho and attended the following schools
* Hawaii Pacific University (Fall 1982),
* North Idaho College (Spring 1983 & Fall 1983),
* University of Idaho (Fall 1984 - Spring 1985),
* Matanuska-Susitna College (Fall 1985) and
* University of Idaho (Spring 1986, Fall 1986 and Spring 1987 ).
Before this she graduated from Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska.
and according to the first link that popped up under a Palin's education google search she switched colleges 6 times all for her ONE degree!

limited skills? you are so far wrong that your just lying to get your point across now! - LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/05/2008, -1/+11We won't miss your ignorance. :)
- knowit, on 10/05/2008, -3/+12I'm just sick of Palin. She needs to go back to her favor state and take care of her family.
- magus_melchior, on 10/05/2008, -0/+9Hatred of free speech and democracy?
And why are you randomly capitalizing? Are you fancying yourself as Ben Franklin?
Where were you when the Minnesota police rounded up protesters before the RNC convention, and rounded up some more even though they weren't even violent? They rounded up journalists, beat them into the ground, and ripped off their credential tags! Is THAT your idea of free speech/press?
Or how about the Republicans' desperate voter disqualification tactics which are clearly unconstitutional? You can't possibly think that it's OK to revoke someone's registration purely because they're on someone else's tax return, or because they're an out-of-state student, or because their house was foreclosed because of ***** Republican economic policy?
I don't think so. We won't be rioting because we hate free speech and democracy. We may be protesting because you and the Republican Party are doing everything in their power to take those away from us. - Wryly, on 10/05/2008, -2/+11What more can you say about Sarah. She's just not qualified.
- revisedTORIN, on 10/05/2008, -0/+9Makes me happy to be a Canadian
- RipleyIsDead, on 10/05/2008, -0/+9Sorry, sometimes my blood starts to boil and I have to let off some steam...
I'm fine now, really :) - icewater, on 10/05/2008, -2/+11Troopergate is in full swing. Can't wait for her to testify and sink herself.
- magus_melchior, on 10/05/2008, -1/+9I don't know about you, but Cheney is serious stuff. Seriously dangerous and seriously frightening.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -3/+11McCain/Palin cannot win. They simply don't have the numbers.
Thanks, John McCain, for selecting Sarah Palin as your VP. It was a terrible choice and helped destroy your campaign. - frankdozier, on 08/10/2009, -0/+8It was an op-ed piece.
