Sarah Palin getting the beat down GDG

[Sabireley]

Sarah is getting it from all sides. Her recent inteviews have provided concern for Republicans and a bit of material for the media and Democrats, but Biden is no gem when it comes to interviews. I look foward to the debate on Thursday. It will certainly be much more interesting that the presidential debate last week.

Your post demonstrates just how much influence the media has on the American public...they are more concerned with the Vice Pres. Nominee...granted she is much more interesting then the Democrat VP nominee..they just cant stand the fact that she is has the rock star vibe that BHO has... remember the media loves to build people up just so they can cover the break down too....not just politics....

Wouldn't say "more" but "just as", prehaps...but, yeah, gotta hate it when the liberal media calls attention to the running mate of a 72 year old Presidential candidate. I mean, it's not like anything will happen to Senator McCain in the next four years. He is a lock to live to the ripe old age of 100.

Especially this guy Krauthammer...oh, wait, he is a conservative Republican: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...090402845.html

The Media Isn't Alone Regards,

Love Krauthammer...hits the nail on the head

I heard a pundit put it perfectly -- Palin has as much experience as Obama on foreign relations and other pivotal issues -- virtually nil. The difference is that Palin has twenty-six days before her first debate to learn all the material and get up to speed. Obama had eighteen months.

As has been said before, you on the left can criticize our inexperienced candidate being "a heartbeat from the president" all you want. In the meantime you are trying to elect your inexperienced candidate directly into the presidency.

Seems like the Democrats had a whole lot of "Experienced" people running Freddie, Fannie, et al. How has that turned out? I'll take common sense over political experience anyday. Obama has neither.

I wish I could be in the gallery the first time VP Palin gets to gavel the Senate to order. Hillary will be foaming at the mouth in jealousy(among others)
