this woman is so scary and i can’t believe that the so-called women supporters of america are being so stupid about supporting this woman.
it is just so embarrassing that the women fell for the most sexist scheme…wag a woman in front of them and what the other women salivate. doesn’t it bother you that they expected so little from you and you delivered?
After last night’s interview, I can’t understand how women voters can forget the issues that matter and still want to vote for Palin because she is a woman.
This woman is going to prove something to the Republican party. I’m proving that not every woman is absentminded and that this is not a game and that I don’t vote with my bra, but rather with my brain!
I was a Hillary supporter, but I am now a registered independent that will be voting for McCain/Palin in November. No matter what the media or talk shows say or do I will NEVER, EVER VOTE FOR OBAMA.
McCain/Palin 08
He doesn’t regret it. BO is a classic misogynist. He’s an elitist who thinks he’s some sort of Messiah. He shat upon Hillary in the worst kind of way.
I’m voting for McCain/Palin. My party really has changed.

I was on the fence and was moving more towards McCain, but after his pick of Palin I thought no way. This woman was not chosen for what she knows but what she can bring, which are those Hillary supporters who are upset and are trying to prove a point. I would think twice about this woman if I were you
Of course she’s going to say that. Does Palin really think we die-hard Hillary supporters are going to flock at her feet just because she praises Hillary? If Hillary were the nominee republicans would be dragging her through the mud with their propaganda they call campaign commercials. Well, according to McCain he will appoint judges that are going to overturn Roe v. Wade. Said it right on the View today. And looks like they have it out for Russia too.What’s a little more war gonna hurt? How much oil does Russia have? Bombs away. Anyone who supported Hillary and what she stands for would never vote McCain/Palin.
Blabla. Everyone knows that Palin, like the majority of the GOP dislike or hate Hillary. We are not stupid. The same here with the fake Hillary supporters. I also could have written that I’m a republican who will cast my vote for Obama. I’m not.
If Hillary was Obama’s VP, the attacks from the GOP would have been worse. “sniper fire”, “shame on you Barack”, “the change you can Xerox”, “all the Bill stories and gaffes”, “all the Clinton lies”.
As an american from abroad, I admire Hillary. But in the primary, she has disqualified herself for the nomination and for the VP slot. Some hear tend to forget that her campaign was extreme negative against Barack. So don’t blame Barack for it.
McCain was a maverick, but he isn’t anymore.
In not choosing Hillary, Barack is the only real maverick in this contest.
Palin ? Like Hillary she has great charisma. I found her more sincere than Hillary 10 days ago. But now, the more we know about her, the more her insecerity and aggressivity resurfaces. Don’t blame the media for it.
McCain is the only responsible. He can’t use a computer so don’t ask him to googelise Palin.

Her interview was obviously rehearsed. It was like watching a bad actress with the main part. Ruining the movie I might add. She’s never met a dignitary or anyone from a foreign government. So she’s been to Mexico and Canada.So what does that mean? Was she vacationing at Niagra Falls and Cancun or what?. I’ve been to Mexico and Canada too.Ya she’s qualified all right.
P.S. All the polls are indicating that 12% of the democrats would vote for McCain. But when you read the forums (ABC, USATODAY, HUFFPO, FOX, WASHPOST), 60% of the poster are democrats who would vote for McCain. Can someone explain it to me ? My take: 90% of the pseudo disaffected democrats are republicans in disguise.

The Political suck-up Obama said today ” everyones taxes under him are going to be lower than they were in the 90′s. ” Are you kidding me? How come noone in the Obama/mainstream media has questioned him on this? This guy will say ANYTHING to get elected. What a fraud! This Dem wants something new. Mccain/Palin 08.
This woman doesn’t even appear to know what federal earmarks are. She tells Charlie Gibson that as governor she believes in working with her congressional delegation to secure funds for state projects. If that’s not trying to get earmarks then what is it?
Her interview is a shambles… she cannot directly answer questions and she is just to smug for my liking.
Nope will never vote for McCain or her, she is way too extreme in her views, and anyone who has only been in office for such a short time and have all these power problems, has no business being in the whitehouse.
She calls Hillary a whiner during the primaries and then kisses HIllary’s butt, is nothing but a hypocrite.
Palin is the “Candidate to Nowhere”
even though she still denies being totally for the bridge… just another lie being issued from her mouth.
No way No how No McCain/Palin

She is so much like George W. Bush it’s scary. She seems to think that if she goes off on a tangent and talks around answering the question no one will notice. She tries to act “homey”. She seems very insincere to me…like she’s trying too hard to be likeable. I want a President and VP that I can trust…McCain and Palin do not seem trustworthy to me.
Posted by: jane | September 12, 2008, 7:17 pm 7:17 pm
If I were Sarah, I would feel the same way. I don’t agree with Hillary’s views. I do think she should be given the respect of a strong leader who stands up for what they believe in. I think Sarah respects her and respects the importance of Hillary’s accomplishments. I can’t see anything wrong with her being positive towards Hillary. Who knows, maybe Hillary might like Sarah. I hope when Sarah is elected with McCain and she works with Hillary, they do work together and get things done for our country (not a party). I hope Hillary doesn’t attack her as another Cheney.
Actually, Fred, I’m an independent. I used to be a Democrat. I like Hillary and couldn’t voted for her under some circumstances. I can’t stand Obama and would NEVER vote for him, not in a million years.
Obama straight from the corruption of the Cook County Political Machine. New politics, my foot. He even picked Joe Biden who’s been in the Senate for about 100 years.
I SWORE, PROMISED AND DECLARED NO-WAY I,D VOTE OBAMA…..BUT,…..THANKS TO MCCAIN AND PALIN I CERTAINLY WILL BEING VOTING OBAMA. I,m a TRUE HILLARY SUPPORTER…I can,t stand the garbage were being fed by the MEDIA AND THE GOP…I worked for a living…had nothing handed to me and now this BEAUTY QUEEN PALIN wants to try to claim she,s a everyday Sarah…NO WAY…Walmart shopper – sure and I shop Macy,s daily…anyone can walk into a business for a photo shoot….and furthermore she,s NO HILLARY CLINTON…so anything she says about Hillary you can bet is just script…SO HILLARY GALS its time to support Obama and send little MS. Palin back to Alaska to be BEAUTY QUEEN OF THE GRIZZLES!!!

McCain is a reckless politician with the interests of the American people verified by his choice for VP. Sarah Palin is a phony and she campaigns in a highschoolish manner. These characteristics can be found in this intervies and verified by “fact checks.” This ticket is a shame. Americans deserve the best not a ticket created by a McCain temper tantrum. Nonetheless, the Republicans will buy in.
Posted by: maddhutt | September 13, 2008, 12:23 am 12:23 am
I am so disappointed with you, Charlie. As a long time independent, that voted for both Dems & Repubs in past elections, I always depended on an honest, down the middle report and respect to both Dems & Republicans in an interview from you. I have followed you for years starting with GMA to where you should be at World News…. always fair to everyone. But you have reduced your interview with Sarah Palin to the same old “gotcha” questions that the far left has promted the media to ask. There was no respect shown to the woman that possibly could be the next VP. Why aren’t you interviewing Sen. Biden and asking him the same questions, with the SAME DISDAIN, about working while raising a family, about his earmarks, etc. No one is paying any attention to Obama’s VP pick.
Oh, by the way, it is Obama vs. McCain, not Obama vs. Palin.
Charlie, I am so very disappointed in you. You know better.

Your arrogance and presumed superiority once again are obvious. You should just wear an Obama button on your lapel. In your first interview you edited out the complete answers Palin was providing to suit your extreme left view of the world. Once the critics called you on it you started to air more of what she said, only to be unhappy with the results – she sounded human and had decent answers. Your ‘Bush Doctrine’ question was an overt attempt to make her look dumb – the only problem is that even the creator of that term, Charles Krauthammer – Washington Post, Sep 13, 2008 – says you were wrong in your definition of what the Bush Doctrine is. Yet, where is your apology to Palin? What ever happened to HONEST, unbiased reporting. Shame on you Gibson. You are a sham.
Posted by: M buchmann | September 13, 2008, 9:39 am 9:39 am
What happened to the day when the reporters just reported the news? Why do they feel they have to make one side look superior over another? Do they not think Americans can make their own well-thought out decisions once they have been provided all of the information?
Posted by: LeighAnn | September 13, 2008, 9:58 am 9:58 am
I was a very adamant Clinton supporter and life long Democrat. The more I watch of this lady, the more I realize that she is the real change that we all need in Washington. Personally, I thought the questions posed by Charlie were fair, what shocked me the most was his condescending attitude and delivery. I had never seen that side of him and was very disappointed.
I never thought I would say this, but McCain/Palin have my vote this year.

Dear Mr. Gibson”
I seldom blog BUT I found your interview with the next Vice President of the USA, Sarah Palin, VERY,if you don’t mind me saying it, …very sexist and extremely unfair. You kept REPEATING the same question/s no less than 2-3 times, trying, in my opinion, to catch or snag or confuse her in replying to your so call intelligent inquiries. Hurrah! for Sarah!! She answered every one of them with intelligence and a finess unsurpassed by anyone in the news media today (including yourself). With your interview, I was finally able to realize that she IS the best candiate for Vice President today and perhaps the best candidate in the longest time that I was able to Trust. So I thank you for helping me decide the person best to LEAD this beautiful country to what it used to be…She/McCain have my vote. I WAS an INDEPENDENT UNTIL THEN. I also believe that she will make a beautiful and intelligent candiate next term as PRESIDENT of our wonderful country USA. SINCERELY, A God Loving Citizen of this beautiful USA.
