Do you think that football teams post their weaknesses on a website for other teams to scout and use to their advantage? NO! So looking at Obama's website would not garner a complete picture of who the man is. A pretty speaker, young senator, community worker, lawyer, Harvard grad, blah, blah blah! A full measure of the man, warts and all, I seriously doubt it!

I was extremely disappointed to see her conduct an unprofessional,disrespectful "gotcha" interview with Governor Palin. Ironically, now that she has sunk to the level of the others anchors,she has garnered the misguided respect of her news media colleagues. This type of attack/humiliation journalism continues to perpetuate a lack of respect for public offcials ( accomplished individuals like a president,a governor and the like)simply because of disagreement with policy or personal bias. Couric's interview is another example, exhibited by the mainstream press, of disrespectful classless behavior that pretends to be journalism. Thank goodness we have so many intelligent alternatives to the nightly newscast that we no longer have to endure this schlock masquerading as journalism.

I am astonished at media pundits who asked why the “anonymous” campaign aides who leaked the ominous news about Sarah Palin waited until after the election. Unlike Salter and Schmidt, these campaign aides and staffers didn’t meet her until just before the RNC Convention. What were they supposed to do -- march out on stage with protest signs? Tackle her by the ankles before she reached the podium? They tried to make the best of a disastrous situation, and failed, predictably. It was a no-win situation. For those who still have doubts as to the veracity of these insider comments: I would suggest, for starters, that they listen to the entire conversation Palin had with the prank caller from Montreal pretending to be President Sarkozy. Then follow that up with her interviews with Couric and Gibson. Absolutely terrifying.

But trying to explain them to some of the posters here is fruitless. Although Palin has political savvy and is superb at speaking talking points written for her on the campaign trail, she has definitely proven that she has little interest, intellectual curiosity and knowledge about the world around her; either nationally, or globally. She couldn’t begin to hold her own in a serious conversation with any leading politician or interviewer/journalist. The way she presented herself during the campaign, and her vituperative comments at rallies, were not in the least presidential. In the final analysis, McCain’s choice for Palin as VP was an insult to the American people. She appeals to the ultra-right wing not-so-very-bright conservatives. She has more of the Paris Hilton appeal. To Trillion: Good points. But trying to explain them to some of the posters here is fruitless.

He had been campaigning and speaking endlessly and misspoke. The man is a Harvard grad, has a doctorate in law and is a senator, a constitutional scholar and a professor. His error is NOT the same as not being able to name one single information source, one single instance where McCain has shown himself to be a "maverick", or more than one supreme court case. We are talking about two totally different kinds of things here. Surely you must understand this. Christian: We all know Obama knows there are not 57 states.

In the last pictures and video I've seen of her she didn't look pregnant at all. Yea I know that this happens sometimes but with all of these conspiracy theories it just seems strange. Ok..after the "baby" is born then I don't want to hear anything else about them. Bristol is due next month? In the last pictures and video I’ve seen of her she didn’t look pregnant at all.

Besides this not being quoted or coming from any real source except a "McCain Insider" whom ever that is. Obamas 57 states comes to mind....... Funny thing is that this IS proven to have been said, unlike the rumors that have spread. To all you moderate republicans and pro-choice catholics: Find a new Ideology and Faith because you cleary don't understand the one you follow. “Pesky stuff like knowing Africa is a continent, on the other hand…”

Wow. So she's royalty now? Surely you right-wingers can find a better figure-head. If she's the best you've got well...good luck. By the way, Palin, who gave zero press conferences during the campaign, can't seem to keep herself away from the soft focus "news" specials now. See her make moose stew! See her wave goodbye to her husband as he snow-machines away! See her shop at her favorite consignment shop! See her dismiss her detractors as "jerks"! (ooooh that "dash of high school bitchy") “How dare she disrespect Palin”
