Rollingstone has an interesting site on Palin and McCain/

To say Barack will bring this country down even further with his liberal views is a misoneism. I don't understand how anyone can look at the ruined state of this country after 8 years of Bush rule and not want to see change for the better. McCain is Bush's clone voting over 90% of the time with him.

How can anyone support an immature person who abused her authority, associates all Americans as "Hockey Moms" Well maybe she can organise a hockey match, but run a beautiful country like America I really doubt it. She is like a cheshire cat with her grin taking nothing serious.... Sorry America..

I have yet to hear anything substantive from Sarah Palin about the issues that really matter for our country. Thus far, all I have heard are nitpicky slanderous remarks that are designed to be nothing more than a distraction from the real issues confronting our nation, because they are losing!

barack obama will bring the United States down even more with his liberal views as well his radical connections America as we know it will be destroyed by the likes of Barack Obama. I would not have voted for John McCain if it was not for the selection of Sarah Palin.

She is what was needed to help John McCain at the time and I don't think she was hurtful as some on here state. Of course the MSM has been harping on here ever since she was nominated.
Obama on the other has gotten a free pass even though he surrounded himself with are questionable to say the least

After seeing for quite a while Ron Paul begin side-lined by the media and by his own party I keep thinking "you Americans blew it". Listening to Ron Paul is a good/emotional/educational exercise, unlike the others.

So good of you folks on the opposite side of the ticket to be concerned about your opposition's Vice Presidential candidate.
Ordinarilly you from the opposition would be crowing and clapping with glee over our choice of Ms Palin.
But, in any event, thanks so much for your true anxiety for us.

I wonder how others around the world see us?? I'm an American citizen & as a free, progressive thinker, I am absolutely appalled at the state of our economy, the Iraq situation and now the lies & desperate politics of the Republican party. Has John McCain sold his soul?

You have got to feel really sorry for all Americans if Sarah Palin is the best they can do.
God help America and the rest of the planet.
Obama can be the only choice.

I remain very concerned that Mrs. Palin was a poor choice on the part of Mr. McCain. There seems to be a fundamental lack of accountability on her part. I was considering voting for Mr. McCain but now I'm very concerned. Who is running the Alaska government, Mrs. or Mr. Palin?

J. Bond, Prescott Valley,

I have done a lot of research on Alaska and their true feelings towards Palin and a lot of Alaskan women do not like her. I found this article yesterday and if you go on different sites you see how the woman in Alaska feel about her once she got into office. Go to: Alaska Women Against Palin

If she and her "dude" have nothing to hide, why did she change her mind about cooperating? This woman is another Dick Cheney, she values nothing but power - her religious posturing is just that: posturing. Wake up, America! We can't afford any more of this!

Elizabeth Renant, Santa Fe, NM, USA

I want my daughters to follow Michelle Obama's example, not Barbie's, er, Cindy McCain's. Michelle articulates, works, advocates and accomplishes. Cindy usually stands behind her husband, or on the sidelines, smiling or nodding silently, not doing much else than looking prettily made up.
