  1. Hey I don't follow a lot of supreme court rulings. But ewven if I was a deer in the heaqdlights, I think I might have blurted out the 2000 supreme Court ruling about the 2000 elections and recounts in Florida. Al Gore vs. G.W. Bush

  2. If I were a governor of a state, I'd probably attempt to stay knowledgeable about stuff like this.

  4. For the love of all that is good, I pray she finds a way to bow out gracefully.

      Scary thought - Laura Bush for VP would be better than Palin...

  6. Okay I did a quick Q and A with my wife. She came up the the 2000 election ruling and the recent gun ban ruling in D.C.

    I tried it with my mom with Alzhemeirs and she mentioned as the Civil rights ruling, nothing specific... but

    Hey try it with your friends and family. maybe they could be Veep one day

  8. Obama says that there are 57 states in America. That did not make news. Do you think the news is slanted? Mccain/Palin is in the right order. Obama/Biden should be reversed. Obamas credentials are on the same line as Palin. Here is the 57 state statement from Obama that did not make news.

    1. @invisionit saw the gaffe and I'll give it to you. In a campaign event in Beaverton, OR, Obama claimed to have visited 57 U.S. states during the campaign. Just imagine the ratio of f*ckups with the press Obama, in the press since say 2002 in a big way, but how about Palin... Holy crap.

      Choosing the wrong words a few times when you answer questions and give speeches all day isn't news. Sarah Palin is on a whole other level. In her case it's not a slipup--just a complete lack of knowledge and experience.

  9. That is really scary in someone who could be president.

    I know lots of everyday folks don't know a lot of Supreme Court cases, but none of them aspire to be a heartbeat from the Presidency, either.

  10. I support her. I also think "Hollywood" should stay out of it. I think 'they' sway alot of your thoughts. As for 'jonathanfields', look into it, she is not 'eskimo'. However I am, and I support her. If you really did your homework, Todd Nor the VOP is not Eskimo, he is a different part of Alaskan Native. But that just shows how much you know.
    If your going to make comments about us 'Eskimos', get it right. Seriously. How far have you come?
    I was born and raised in Ak. However, I know we carry many feilds of oil. I know it would hurt the land, but it would not be any different than what has happend in the lower 48. It's just a matter of time.....
    This is the main conversation for most of us right now, what is yours?

    1. @rhonda.greene Palin, is that you?
      Your whole comment matches right up to the gibberish that I've already heard from the red neck - hockey mom.
