   I guess she had a script prepared for her this time. As far as I can tell, she is a puppet and does not have the ability to be our VP. I’ll take education over Sarah Palin’s slapstick comedy behavior.
   Who do you want in the white house?

      @msajaye PALIN ofcourse because she understands not having enough money to go to college, not being able to make the next semester because you are broke. Making ends meet and going to college, paying your way through college. She understands us - all of us are like her. So i would choose her because she understands where i am coming from when i struggle daily.

   I am afraid that she could end up in the white house if John McCain is elected. He is 72 now and would be 76 at the end of his first term. Any medical calamity can strike a person that age. Palin could be our President, and she would be worse than George Bush.

      @McCaffertyHimself why would you be afraid of someone who fixed Alaska - you should be afraid of Obama who hasn't fixed a state or anything you know of. At least in the few years she would have learned more working with Mccain. Her experience is more than Obama who you are voting for. The only reason people put her down is because she is a woman/ if she was a man - none of you would be saying this. Plus we don't need a foreign policy specialist in Washington - we need a domestic policy specialist to fix the economy!!!!!! Duh!!!!

   How can they out run the most sensible person of them all Ron Paul, This I can't believe and I don't trust this System at all. Absolutely corrupt system. There are some major flaws in it, I don't know what but if Ron Paul is out ran by these stupids then there's something seriously wrong about this whole thing...

   And yes...
   @msajaye - Kudos. Great Research.

      Ron Paul is only sensible on certain issues. He's for even more deregulation, which is non-sensible.

   My opinion is that Palin won the debate. She seemed to care about stressing the issues we care about like energy. She is one of us - Biden has been in Washington forever, we don't need that. Its funny Biden was saying that we dont want one of the same - yet he is an old Washingtonian- what gives? Then you have CNN which doesn't like women, spinning on Palin, neat picking everything she says so that they can change it around.
   The bottom line is this - do we need someone to fix our energy problem? Yes! Who can do it? obviously Palin. Do we need someone who understands not having health insurance? Yes! who can present us? Palin. Do we need someone who knows how to fix government and give money back to the people? YES. who can do it? Palin. That woman is a scare to men in Washington that is why there spinning her negatively. I honestly believe that she will help us fix things in Washington - especially because she will preside over the senate. She is a doer not a talker like most Washingtonians.
   Lastly, she understands all of us because she has been there - we need one of us there.
   I was undecided and when i saw the debate i was all for Palin.
   Another thing i dont understand is this Obama said that he is going to change Washington yet he picked Biden an old Washingtonian for VP. He maybe a good man but that doesn't cut it. We need only new blood in Washington.
   PLUS WE DONT NEED A HOUSE FULL OF DEMOCRATS AND A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT - THEN WE LOOSE BALANCE.

      Biden was not President for the past 8 years.

      Palin might be "more like you", but it's likely that you're not qualified to be President. Nothing personal -- I'm not qualified for that job either :)

      People need to vote for who is qualified for the job, not who is more like "Joe Six Pack."

      Palin is weak on energy knowledge. For example:
