The issue is, this brings focus on his own relative lack of experience.
|
Exactly. In fact, I'd argue that Palin is considerably more qualified to be president than Obama if we look at experience.

This pretty much shows the experience showing up on Palin

If you say you could understand what the hell she was talking about, you are about as blind as a blind follower can get.

Ah, seems your panties are in a bunch. Some people get workloads that are more important, so I'll review that soon. That said; private messages are just that. Private.
Revert to said question:
Substantively, how is it you aren't just a blind follower of rhetoric?

The dissappointing thing is that that is a reoccurring theme in all of the stuff I have watched lately no matter how insightful the experts were.
Sooo, are we trying politics here again? So far so good I guess.

Well you're jumping a few steps, I haven't stated I'm following anything. I am simply posting a video of a woman up for election for vice president of the united states that is babbling incoherent non-sense and I think that if any person that tries to rationalize said non-sense is a "blind follower" of her and her party.
The fact you're getting defensive about this would suggest you are a fan of the woman's party.

Why is that Cafferty nutjob allowed to sit and spew party politics on a news show?
He is not a journalists arse.
If he wants to support a particular party he should register as a PAC and get of the television and take his partisan politicing on the road.

She was actually trying to reply to Katie's question - a prett stupid quesion in and of itself - what country is going to give 700 billion dollars to tax payers "to shore up the financial markets".
People spending like soccer moms on a credit card binge wont sprevent all the people who over borrowed from going belly up.
The question was an obvious setup.
Her reply tried to cover way to much ground - and it was only a few sentences into her answer she realised that the question was a setup.

it is amazing to switch channels to see the same story being portrayed as a win by republicans (fox news) then as a win by democrats (CNN) and then some kind of scientology bull (MSNBC)
why in the heck are news networks so biased? I know there are interests at hand but the integrity of the news should not be compromised, so they said Fox ran a poll in which Palin came out as winner, then CNN polls and they get the opposite, MSNBC polls and they get the majority as undecided and then they preach for about an hour about the virtues of the spirit and how it is bad to choose the candidates...

Yeah they're biased in one way or the other, but when there is only one poll saying the opposite as others (FOX) doesn't that give a hint as to which one is obviously more biased than others.

Who Won VP Debate: A Review of Polls with October 3 pm update
by George Harris
Kansas City Star
Readers Advisory Panel 2008
update October 3 5:15 pm
Two additional polls to report:
Survey USA Biden 51% Palin 32%
Undecided 17%
MediaCurves.com tracked independent voters, showing them breaking to Biden 67% to Palin 33%.
Original report:
Random and non-random polls for the vice presidential debate declare Biden the winner over Palin in the vice-presidential debate.
Non-random (unscientific) polls on AOL and MSNBC web sites show Biden winning 48 to 45 and 78.6 to 18.9 respectively.
Randomly selected subjects on three other polls also show Biden winning:
CNN/Opinion Research Biden 51 Palin 36
CBS Biden 46 Palin 21
Fox Biden 61 Palin 39
In the CBS poll, of the uncommitted voters, 18% now say they will vote Obama/Biden, 10% now say McCain/Palin.
Post-debate reaction seemed to agree that Governor Palin gave a good account of herself in being able to deliver prepared answers, though often not responsive to the question at hand.
Biden was able to draw on extensive experience from his long experience as a Senator.
I was surprised that Palin's charm did not work better than the poll results showed. But she likely was weighed down by Saturday Night Live parodies and interviews earlier in the week with CBS's Couric. By the time of the debate, people knew that she is not ready for the presidency and saw through her efforts to appear that she was with canned responses.
The issue from the Thursday night debate ultimately is not about Palin but about McCain's judgment in selecting someone with so little qualification for national office.
The McCain/Palin ticket will likely drop into attack gear for the remainder of the campaign in a last ditch effort to stop Obama and Biden. I think it's likely to become really ugly but hope that McCain chooses instead to recover some of his dignity as Palin did in a good effort Thursday night.
