Sarah Palin to Katie Couric — Let Me Get Back to You

This is why McCain is delaying the debate tomorrow and floating the idea through surrogates of using the VP slot instead. Sarah is not ready.

This whole McCain/ Palin thing is such a joke… if this was the otherway around OH MY… the GOP would be calling Obama a lair… a flip-flopper and everything else.
I am going to suspend my campaign.

What a shame Sarah. No wonder they are hiding the press from you. You cannnot take hard questions

Palin=worthless. That would be like me trying to being VP. haha.

Fae. You obviously do not see things clearly. What are Mccain and Palin going to do for the American people?

McCain was called back to Washington by Paulson the treasury secretary.
McCain puts politics first before this stupid campaign.
This whole campaign is a joke.
McCain wants to solve problems while Obama is worried about politics.

Jeff….are you kidding me? He has been in Washington for what 26 years. What has ne done to help. What has he done in the past 8 years…nada. If you do not see his actions as a political stunt then you are clueless.

I tink McCain’s next big “ploy” will be to replace Palin. Who’s up?

Have you ever interviewed someone for a job who isn’t qualified? This looks the same.

No wonder he want’s to ditch the debates, this poor woman is going to be destroyed by Biden next week. I’m even starting to feel sorry for this little fundie moron.

Hey, wasn’t that sexism? Couric should have just kept nodding her head to whatever Palin said. Instead, she made Palin look like a fool. How dare you, Couric? How dare you? So sexist! So disrespectful!

To Obama Supporters:
Same question was asked of Obama supporters. Name a specific accomplishment that Obama has done?
oh..oh. NONE!
At least Sarah did not put her foot in her mouth like Biden.

She is most definitely a washington insider…. she talks in circles and never answers a question…. she is a true republican.
She has shown herself as Unable to take charge of anything.
McCain would have done himself a favor by choosing someone else… but he chose the puppy in lipstick instead… no way do I see strength or intelligence in her… she is nothing

Why McCain is shielding Palin from the media: Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

I said 2 weeks ago that Palin would flame out and wouldn’t make it to election day. The campaign would use a “family matters” excuse and they’d put someone else in. I originally thought Huckabee to keep the evangelical base enthusiastic, but with the way McCain’s campaign is heading south, it could take a gamble with Romney, since there was a lot of independent support for such a ticket. On the other hand, McCain’s team may just use the family excuse to keep Palin away from debates and appearances, but keep her on the ticket. The GOP loves to use the “trust us” approach to government. Trust, but not verify, because verifying means the terrorists and Marxists have won.

This is SO Palin…She cannot talk her way out of a paper bag.
She is clueless and now that all the glitz and glamor is wearing off we can all see why McCain chose her: she is a women.
Take head you Hillary supporters…is this the women you want in office? Hillary would have NEVER answered that way…

What scares me more than Palin is that Americans will vote for her because they “like her”. I could care less if I like my President or VP. I’m not inviting them over for a BBQ. I want them to be qualified and do a good job for the American people. I could care less if they are egotistical or aloof, or elists or whether they hunt or ski or whatever the heck food they like to eat. MY GOD PEOPLE! This is our country you are messing with.

Fae…genuine about what, not knowing the simply policy of her campaign partner?
This is a VERY important election. We cannot vote on someone being genuine. We need someone who can talk policy…

Here is what is truly disturbing about this exchange: Given the deep financial crisis our nation is facing, Palin went into this interview totally unprepared! Did she think Couric was going to ask her about Moose hunting????? OF COURSE the focus would be on the economy! She could not even do enought homework to be familiar with McCain’s record!!!!! Truly pathetic and scary at the same time.

mccain should have picked romney. shame.

I’m a former Hillary supporter as well. Initially skeptical of Obama, very turned off by his most ardent supporters, and liked McCain (or at least liked the illusion I had of him, which since has been destroyed – by him).
A key reason I like Hillary so much is how much she isn’t like Palin, and I’m not even talking about the issues. Just on capability and competence alone! Hillary knows her stuff, and isn’t easily cornered, cowed, or thrown off. She’s a real tough woman. Palin, supposedly a pit bull, can’t even go into detail on a question, she just repeats what she has already said, or bails out. First it was “we could play stump the candidate, but (proceeds to ignore question and re-hashes platitudes and talking points)”, now it’s “I’ll look for something and get back to you.” It appears that hockey PLAYERS are the tough ones, not their moms.
A vote for Palin is no consolation for the fact that Hillary isn’t on the ticket. I’m voting Obama/Biden, because McCain/Palin are clearly more of Bush, Monica Goodling, Harriet Miers, ideology-trumps-reality governance that has gotten us into this mess.

The interesting thing is she didn’t try to fake it. Which is different from what any career politician would do – either redirect the question or spin some other hot air. Sometimes I wonder if we’re so accustomed to the “model politican” that we implicitly accept that as the standard against which to judge other, despite complaints to the contrary.

Yea – she makes Joe Biden look like a real prize – suppose she knows who was preisident in 1929 – suppose she ask crippled people to stand up in from of a large crowd? Oh Yea – Joe is a real prize!!!!!!!

What a shame. Sarah Palin is back.
UNfortunately most of the people seem to have forgotten what a bag of hot air that woman is. She offers only very simple answers to complicated questions. and thats putting it nicely.
She never goes deep into any subject, all she always says is america needs this,america needs that, he has done this bad , and she has done that bad… but how to solve the real problems… no answer from god old sarah…
Please, please dont vote for these Tea Party people, you may really regret it….
