I have no opinion and I may not even watch. I really don't like to write people off nor do I like wishing somebody do poorly. It's possible she could be President. My feeling is that she isn't qualified and how she does in the debate is irrelevant. She may be great, but she's a poor choice, in my opinion, for the job. Also, her running mate is the poor choice for his job but at least he's somewhat seasoned.

Obama isn't qualified either.

Obama was deemed qualified over Hillary Clinton by the Democratic party. Palin was a near party unknown who was chosen by one guy. Biden is a well known well vetted national party leader. Most people never heard of Palin.

I was referring to qualified by objective measures, not your biased opinion.

Seems a tad biased, Mr. Moonbeam: McCain is somewhat seasoned while Biden is a well vetted national party leader. On the brighter side, though, Moonbeam typically has some of the most interesting posts within these forums!!
And you'd know this how?

The media and people like the OP have set Palin up for victory on Thursday.

All she has to do is not sound like an idiot and she will have exceeded expectations.

She still has to manage to not come off sounding like a moron. If she can do that, she holds here own.

Seriously.

Is she a trained ferret? Does she not know the name of one publication that she reads to stay up on current events? Or does she simply not read anything (more likely)?

We're in for a treat Thursday night. Biden will happily take the debate off course, and derail Palin's narrow thoughts in the process.

she is, according to her, a joe-sixpack just like the rest of her followers.

and just like the rest of her followers she is afraid of the MSM claiming media bias every chance she gets.

Only, the media bias claim is old, boring, and pointless. Claiming media bias doesn't help her cause or McCains.

and just like the rest of her followers she probably doesnt read newspapers. :laugh:

A point, interestingly enough, not lost on the women I talk to lately.

Jesus, I've seen chimps with ebola act more coherent than this candidate.

Sounds like she's paranoid and thinks the question is implying she's out of touch. Just name a damn paper already.

print media is dead.

You think that answer is bad, imagine if Katie Couric asked her about the world wide web...:Q

Oh c'mon, she could have at least name-dropped the Anchorage Daily News or something.

Even if print media is dead, I still read the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Business week ONLINE!

No excuse.

Do you think that she's so scared that the media will lambaste any answer she will provide that she just freezes up every time? /deerinheadlightslook

The fact that she sounds like a cast member from the movie Fargo isn't helpful for her either.

Ah THAT'S what it is! I knew she spoke kinda funny but couldnt quite put my finger on it.

I listened to Hugh Hewitt 'interview' her this morning. Fargo is correct! :p
