If we need brain surgery we want an elite surgeon. If we need a plumber we want an elite plumber. We want our kids to have elite teachers and our cars to be worked on by elite mechanics. But when it come to vice president Mrs. Joe Six Pack will do. This nonsense has got to stop with this election.

Katie Couric is a hack ... trying to hold on to her job because she is not pulling in the fans. Ultra-liberal who doesnt really quite get it.

Oh Sarah, say it ain't so.
Not being able to answer questions that aren't what you want to talk about, or that you are simply unable to talk about, and being "annoyed" by such questions, "disqualifies" you from consideration.
This is the welfare of the nation, the biggest player on the world stage and you can't improvise when the script is taken away. As entertaining as you are, it's time to get off the stage Sarah. The audience has had enough of your amateur hour.
Karma says you'll be reborn a moose or polar bear in the next life.

well there you go.
You see guys, she's not an idiot. It turns out it was all Katie Couric's fault. Thanks for clearing up the confusion Mrs.Palin. For a moment there some of us thought you were an unqualified idiot who was chosen to be John McCain's running mate simply for 2 weeks of "wow" factor, but now we know otherwise.
I think we can just skip the election and throw this dynamic duo into the White House so they can start putting America back on track.

Annoyed by Couric? How about an award for Couric for exposing the real Sarah Palin (check out www.palinomaly.com for more). Despite Palin's well delivered but memorized and scripted non-answers at the debate, America knows the truth about Palin. I agree with many of the posts that America's annoyance with Palin's folksy arrogant spiel will grow in the coming weeks.

What a low blow from Palin.
Isn't Couric a widow?
Fucking heartless aerial-wolf hunting hockey-mom!
How terrifying that she even has a shot at being president.Republicans don't like anyone they can't hand a script tew, Faux news has got them use being able to do that.
Palin's & her howdy doody, Ned Flanders ass voice annoys many people I know, myself included.

Oama was a Constitutional Law professor on call. He either does not know the Constituion or does not care about it. His policies and votes (the few he has done) tell that story. Frankly the fact that he is an attorney is a strike against him. I don't think he is that smart. He is well spoken, when he has a text, but he is no smarter than anyone else.
Couric IS annoying. Her ratings are also in the toilet as are the ratings of her contemporaries. If she was so good her share of the ratings would be larger. Governor Palins said that no matter what she said she was going to get slammed. Welcome to the land of bias media. Frankly Palin should have decked Couric. Now THAT would have put her up 200 points in my book. Couric is a left wing nut job with an agenda. Palin is to be congratulated for her restraint.

She restrained the wrong thing."Governor Palins said that no matter what she said she was going to get slammed. Welcome to the land of bias media."
She said this to Fox, her media safe haven."Frankly Palin should have decked Couric. Now THAT would have put her up 200 points in my book."

"Everyone wants "change" an education that isn't Ivy league, that's change. Self made person, who didn't go to college on the government teat, an affirmative action scholarship, or an old time family name, that's change" --- the Wit & Wisdom of allknowis
Obama graduated with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991. He has also taught as a Constitutional law Professor.
Sarah was a weather girl.
Yeah, she's "just as smart as" Senator Obama.

Finally an honest candidate, who says what they really feel, and you guys say you want "change"? There's your change, Obama, Biden, Bush etc. are the same, just different ages and party affiliation.
The press has sent armies of muckrakers to Alaska to dig up dirt and found a wee bit of dust. Why aren't they in Chicago doing the same? They'd need a fleet of dump trucks to haul out all the dirt.
Everyone wants "change" an education that isn't Ivy league, that's change. Self made person, who didn't go to college on the government teat, an affirmative action scholarship, or an old time family name, that's change.
Besides she's running for VP not president, she gets more scrutiny, and more "gotcha" questions than either presidential candidate.
Everyone cried they wanted a woman on the ticket, well you got one, she's just not a liberal, but that's not what was asked for.

Change has to be THE RIGHT change. Change is about more than the person. Change is about what the person will accomplish. I can CHANGE clothes. I’m still me under all that fabric and the new outfit might be uglier than the last.
Neither Palin or McCain have offered any solutions that symbolize CHANGE. I am an Independent voter and I’ve tried to look at both sides of this and be as objective as possible but this is getting out of hand. When Palin was asked during the debate to state what the McCain/Palin Administration would do differently than the Bush Administration the only answer she could provide was support of a surge in Afghanistan. What about COUNTRY FIRST? The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FIRST? What would you do differently in THIS COUNTRY? That’s what I want to know. Quite honestly we are in a HUGE deficit and McCain and Palin are looking people square in the eye and telling them they will not only keep Bush’s tax cuts in place… but they will increase the cuts. How dose that make sense?
Any politician who tells you taxes will not have to be raised when we are this deep in debt is a bold face lie.
The money has to be paid back and WE HAVE TO PAY IT BACK! We cannot lay this debt at the feet of our children and the unborn and expect it to fade away. That’s like me increasing the debt on my master card then lowering my monthly payments. Seriously! You can’t just throw any woman into the White House, label her a maverick and expect to pacify Hillary supporters and Feminists. The bottom line is the woman is “not ready to lead” and we all know this. People need to give up this partisan B.S. and be real about the situation. At the end of the day regardless of party affiliation we are ALL AMERICANS and we need to do what is best for this country and it’s future.
As for the “gotcha” journalism and scrutiny… HELLO the woman is running for Vice President of the United States of America! Obama, McCain and Biden have all been put under the spotlight and she should spend some time in the hot seat as well. Dig up as much information as you can. Interrogate her as intensely as possible because I want to make an informed decision. I want to know as much about her as possible especially when she is running with a man who is over seventy years of age! She’s in the big leagues now. She should stop expecting to get little league pitches.
Can we all just be HONEST about the situation? This sideshow is getting OLD.

November 5th can't come soon enough! I'm so tired of listening to these excuses and this flimsy charade! The fact of the matter is Mrs. Palin:
NO ONE KNOWS WHO THE (BLEEP) YOU ARE?!?!?
You came out of obscurity so of course people are interested to know your personal views and your political positions. Maybe if you were more accessible and gave more personal interviews when you were initially announced as V.P. Couric and all other “media elite” would have a different set of questions for you this late in the game.
And of course the ONLY cable news network she chooses to sit down with is FOX. You know, because they are “fair and balanced”. Stop playing these games and FACE THE MUSIC! Talk to ALL MEDIA OUTLETS! Don’t just cherry pick the ones who will give you the most favorable coverage. Biden, Obama and McCain have all been on ALL THREE major news networks. If you wanna play in the big leagues stop depending on pee wee tactics! Your not in Alaska anymore!
This whole thing is a JOKE! I’m not saying that Palin is not intelligent. I’m not even saying she’s a bad Governor, what I am saying is Alaska and the United State of America are two totally different governmental systems. And quite frankly I don’t believe she is ready to govern at that level.
The choice in this election is absolutely CLEAR. I don’t see how any average everyday America who is not affiliated with BIG business or independent wealth can, with a straight face, tell me the McCain/Palin ticket is the best choice. The fact that she and McCain have made it this far and the polls are still playing ping pong is downright scary.
As I said… the choice is absolutely clear. We’ll know exactly where the people in this country stand on November 5th.

She just couldn't come up with good straightforward answers and was annoyed about that. She had an agenda and was annoyed that she could not just ignore Couric and take America down to spin city...doggonit. We can't look back and remember what hell we've been dragged through over the last eight years. We need to forget our recent history and just believe in McSame. Ha-ha...fat chance.

What is she complaining about? When McCain gives interviews, the media does not pummel him the way they do with Palin. So the problem is not with the media. SHE is the one with the problem-shallow brain syndrome.

What annoys me is that she proudly proclaimed that she would expand upon the powers of the office of VP that Cheney has, and Cheney literally ignored the constitution for the full 8 years he was in office.
Then she said she would not talk to the press at all unless she could address them on her own terms.
Just like dictator Cheney.
Truly, truly scary.
