Expectations game already starting for V.P. debate

A question Palin should ask is if Obama has a genuine Christian baptism certificate. I'm sure he's not Catholic, but I wonder if he is an authentic Christian. I called my mother yesterday to have her request an "acta de bautiso" from the church in Iguala de la independencia so I can convert to a Catholic here in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It would be sad to know that Obama lied about being Christian just to get more votes.

McSame has to hold Pittbull Lips' hand to make sure she sticks to her talking point which are load with lies. Both of them are shameful.
Vote for President Obama and VP Biden.

Why are you people so afraid of Gov. Palin. Is it because she's honest? Is it because she's not an insider? Is it because she's not out for Power and money for herself? Is it because she loves America? Is it because McCain and she will work to stop those people in Congress that are STEALING from the taxpayers to line their own pockets. I don't understand. Congress has to approve of most everything the President proposes and does, and when have you ever been able to vote yourself the best health package, the best retirement program in the country and when have you votes yourself a huge raise. Vote for
new members of Congress, don't just vote for the same old same old.
For goodness and America's think America not Party line PLEASE

a new Congress omne

Unfortunately for Biden, Palin has been so monumentally awful in her interviews, I don't believe the bar could be set much lower for her in this debate. Even if she falls flat on her face THursday, she'll still be able to roll over it.

All she has to do is speak in complete English sentences. Of course, that seems like a challenge for her with Katie Couric......

Regardless of the debate's outcome,
Mr. McCain was really not thinking far in advance when he chose Mrs. Plain.

I think it was a mistake.

I agree that it was not a Country First move, rather a campaign first motive.

Biden will wipe the floor with Sarah Palin. Her experience and record are at best grossly exagerated, at worst, ourtright lies. The truth of this will be plain during the debate. So much for John McKamikaze's judgement....

If Sarah Palin could not even get past a Katie Couric interview, I doubt she will not survive the debate but it is a good strategy to raise her expectations by the dems. As they say, "the higher you are, the harder you fall."

By over-praising Palin, Obama's camp mocks her because we all know she is no "leviathan of forensics."

But the risks for Biden are great. He can't look condescending (like McCain did on Friday to his peril). Palin may be better prepared than her Couric interviews foretell. And the expectations are high for Biden, low for Palin. Biden needs to speak softly because he carries the big stick.

Don't underestimate Palin. She's already shown that she can well exceed expectaions.

At the same time, I'm hoping that Biden doesn't put his foot in his mouth -- again. He means well, but Mr. Longwinded could by his nature make Palin look like she's under attack by a condescending and lecturing male.

Palin deserves some respect. She wouldn't be where she is today without having some smarts.

Thanks for the laugh, Jean (comment #2).

We are afraid of Sarah Palin because she is demonstrably naive when it comes to foreign affairs and economic policy.

We are afraid of Sarah Palin because it shows how rash and incurious McCain is, and how he'd rather win an election than govern effectively.

Finally, we are afraid of Sarah Pallin because she is George Bush in a skirt (think about it: inexperienced governor of a Western state; seems like a "regular person"; never traveled outside the country; looks down on highly educated people; etc).

Our country deserves better.

"A question Palin should ask is if Obama has a genuine Christian baptism certificate."

What does this remotely have to do with the issues that face this country.

It is the people that focus on nonsense like this that have put this country in the situation today

Governor Palin may have seemed like a logical choice for the puppet masters of the McCain campaign. It will be interestiing to see how she responds on Tuesday when her handlers cannot script her responses.
Good luck Sarah!

I hope Biden stands back and just lets Palin talk. No need for him to try to knock her down...just stand back and let her fall on her own.

Do you set low expectations for your children, for yourself, your sports team? If we set low expectations for our politicians aren't we setting low expectations for our country? Maybe we wouldn't be in quite the mess we are in now if the expectations were set higher.

I would love to see, even though it would never happen, Biden or Obama interviewed in the same tone and distain as Palin was by both Gison and Couric. Lets stop slinging it and wait to see how she handles herself Thursday night. Oh, by the way she is running for VP, and the whole heartbeat away from the presidency is so overstated. McCain is not in that bad of shape, and has been cancer free for several years with only a 10% risk of return. My votes for the experienced gentleman who has enough maturity to hold his thoughts until it is his turn to speak!

Right now Sarah Palin is more well known than Joe Biden. I think Obama will still win, but he has really shot himself in the foot by nominating Mr Washington Insider. Americans are fed up with congress, it is only the governors that have to balance their budgets and exercise responsible governance these days. And it shows a real lack of judgment and perception to nominate another beltway politician.

Ironically the reduction of the debate response time limit from 5 to 2 minutes requested by the McCain camp will help Biden more than Palin. It was intended to help Palin from hanging herself because she can't string more than a few sound bites together in a coherent well thought out manner. Biden on the other hand could have well exceed the 5 minute time on each response. This will force Biden to be precise and directed. IMO, she will still have a difficult time handling 2 minutes without sounding like a complete automaton.

Let's see. Joe Biden doesn't know who was president in 1929 or that TV's did not exist, that's OK. JB makes a speech honoring a state senator and tells him to stand up. The man is in a wheel chair. JB really did his homework. JB doesn't vote for the first Gulf war, votes for the second, votes against the surge! Man he is one seasoned veteran!
Great friends Obama has. The reverand Wright, 20 years, the terrorist Bill Ayers, Jim Johnson and Raines who made millions that we are now paying for! And you socialist liberals want to talk down to Palin? Get a life. Or better still get a job

db - you're the laugher here!

What governor has had experience coming into a presidential race, let alone a vice-presidential race? Certainly not Reagan, Clinton, etc. - did that hurt them?

McCain pointed out in the last debate how Obama hasn't left his comfy confines either ... chaired a subcommittee on Afghanistan and never visited there? talk about your naivety and inexperience!

Not to mention ... that Obama and his wife are not exactly model patriotic citizens, are they? Infact, Mrs. Obama has "never been proud of her country until her husband was nominated" ... nice? Since grade school I have been proud to be an American! And I think most of us have! I guess this explains why he gave so much money over the years and apparently agrees with the Trinity Church and Rev. Jeremiah Wright who spews such trash about our country such as that ther US "started the AIDS virus" and that we "asked for the 9/11 attacks". Once these hit the press ... now Obama denies knowing these views ... do I look that stupid Obama? You were a member of that church for 20+ years - does anyone believe that this was the first time Rev Wright had these thoughts? PLEASE!!!

It would be nice to have a patriotic honest man running for the office ... Obama - that leave you out!

Typical Obummer, I mean Obama supporter (#10). Trying whatever they can to deflect discussion away from a dialogue about Obama's lack of experience, poor judgement, and just a pretty face covering up the same old tax and spend liberal democrat.
Yes, Biden should do well against Palin from a theatrical standpoint but it just doesn't change the fact that Biden is a career politician.
I think you've got it backward. It's Obama who thinks he's better than everyone else.

It should be interesting. The challenge for Biden is to not appear as condenscending. Palin will be good at giving the sound bites, but if the moderator or Biden forces her to talk about specifics, then she will be in trouble. When the Republican sound bites are generalities based on lies, then the specifics will always trip them up because there are no specifics.

Frankly, nobody is really prepared or qualified to become President. Since there is no preparation for that office (other than VP), no one has all the experience required -- economic expertise, foreign affairs, healthcare, law enforcement, people management, etc. So it is who is intelligent enough to undertand they don't know it all, selfless enough to admit it and humble enough to ask for help from those that do posses the knowledge and experience to assist that person with governing. If you don't have Congress on your side you can be the best thing since Goerge Washington and still have trouble running the country!

At least we know that no witches will show up on brooms and cast spells and boil toads and do all kinds of other dastardly things to disturb the debate. Sarah's already got that covered America. Don't you worry.

Anyone that even considers religion when deciding who to vote for should lose their right to vote! Whether Obama is a christian or not has no bearing on his ability to lead the country. I'm not a Barack supporter, but to listen to people make hairbrained comments like that shows the sad state of our democracy.

For Mike L Mr comment 15. You obviously don t watch your own Unfair and unbalanced, Rupert Murdock biased programming on Fox News, Obama sat down with Bill O Reilley and got grilled by him! Obama handled himself in an articulate but stern manner and Bill O had plenty of praise for Obama afterwards saying that he was impressed although O reilly has plenty of conflicting views than Obama. Gov. Palin and John McTemper have never been interviewed by such a tough critic.

The birth certificate question has everything to do with the campaign. Morals and integrity still go a long ways with most voters.

Regarding Biden, he'll put his foot in his mouth more than once on Thursday night

It is difficult for me to accept that Palin is "the babbling idiot" that America has seen her to be in unscripted situations. Possibly this is another "McCain reckless gamble"..... let her play the fool for awhile and then Whammo!.... she come on in the debate like Hilliary???
The major flaw in this conspiracy theory is that only a professional actress of Oscar nomination caliber could have pulled off the "work" we have seen from this person.

According to actuary tables, McCain has a one in three chance of dying in the next four years (@72 years old). Then we will be governed by someone whose primary experience is mayor of a town smaller than Dracut. Oh well, at least she got her passport two years ago

Mike L - watch Obama's interview with Bill O'Reilly on Fox - then you'll see how a credible candidate answers tough questions. And tough questions coming from Gibson and Couric is icing when you compare it to the decisions and questions she will get if VP. I'm sure tone and distain will be commonplace.

Amado- see the new Bill Maher movie "Religulous" this weekend.

Amado Castaneda : Obama doesn't lie.

Wow, I am truly frightened by the lemmings on here who have so willingly slurped up the b.s. fed to you by the McCain campaign. Sarah Palin is a complete and utter joke, I am truly scared for this country that there are so many people who legitimately think she is qualified to be VP (and potentially President). To the person who said that the "heartbeat away" thing is overstated....ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? YIKES...McCain would be the oldest first term president EVER....EVER....it is not an overstatement...it is a legitimate concern. To everyone who voted for Bush because he was someone they'd like to have a beer with...please, do everyone a favor, stay home this time...seriously, you're sooooo completely out of touch it's scary.

At what point is everything so bad that you finally wake up? Seriously, unless you make over $250k a year or are just a total moron why are you voting for people that continually screw you over? Bush screwed you people over for 8 years and you're ready to line up and take more? If you don't think McCain will be the same (or too close for comfort) then I'll talk to you in 4 years (if they win)...and then I'll get to say "I told you so" all over again...that is, if we still have a country.

A vote for McCain means that you do not care about anything or anyone besides yourself and money. That is it....well, either that or you're too stupid to realize it. If you care about this country and your family (especially your children's future) you'd vote for Nader or Obama....bottom line.

Why has the Gov. Romney been interviewed about Palin more than Palin herself?

The primary job of the vice president is to be ready when the president dies or is incapacitated. The second primary job is to break ties in the Senate as the Senate President. I imagine that Dick Cheney does not spend long hours in the Senate at that role, but rather tells George what to do. However, most vice presidents have taken a very back seat in the Executive branch of Government.

I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of Sarah Palin as President of the United Sates if McCain should die in office. The Republican choice was not to find the best person for the job in the event that the President cannot serve, but to bring votes to the ticket. If McCain is elected, I believe he will have Sarah Palin to thank, since a good number of Americans have rediscovered their buried “puppy love” with the notion of Sarah Palin as VP.

It’s evident to me that a bunch of mavericks are not going to change Washington. What will change Washington is the decision of Senators and Representatives to work together beyond partisan politics. Mavericks are not going to tell Congress what to do. Peacemakers and compromisers are what we need to enact major reform, including the process that is followed and the major bills that need to be passed. We don’t need more cowboys shooting up the place in Washington.

Sarah Palin strikes me as a “my way or the highway” personality. That just doesn’t work on Capital Hill, unless your party has the majority rule with enough for veto override. Of course if she only stays in the role as VP, she won’t have much opportunity to work with Congress anyway, so it doesn’t matter how much of a maverick she is. (I really don’t think she’s too much of a maverick anyway. She’s got “GOP” branded all over.)

I like Joe Biden. I believe he is a “seasoned politician” who knows his way around Capitol Hill and has many relationships with politicians here and abroad. Others view him as being an “Insider”, but that may very well be what we need in order to accomplish getting the major issues resolved. He certainly can fill the primary responsibility of Vice President, and also act as Barack Obama’s advisor in some capacity yet to be seen.

"levathian of forensics" ???

I had to research that one---"a twisted and coiled monster with the best argument and delivery would determine the best outcome". Wow. Why not just say so, if that is what you think, "Biden Advisors"

Let's not prejudge the "debate", save your veiled, erudite, insults for later.

Will Joe or Sarah be the "levithian of forensics"?

Palin: Paint by numbers.
Biden: Fine artist
For the same price, which painting would you choose?

Way to go Pelosi! Thanks for being the Partisan Bull you truly are and killing the bailout bill. These blurbs above talk about Palin being "my way or the highway", well look at these KOOKS running congress (Pelosi and Reid) much less Obama and his 95% voting record with what his Whitey Democrat Masters tell him to vote.

Opponents said part of the reason for the opposition from Republicans was what they termed a partisan speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said one GOP source.

"Pelosi's partisan speech has caused our members to go berserk and may cost us any remaining chance to pass the bill," the source said.

Pelosi had said that Congress needed to pass the bill, even though it was an outgrowth of the "failed economic policies" of the last eight years.

"When was the last time someone asked you for $700 billion?" she asked. "It is a number that is staggering, but tells us only the costs of the Bush administration's failed economic policies — policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything goes mentality, with no regulation, no supervision, and no discipline in the system."

I'd like to see Palin asked, "Why is this the first time that command of the state National Guard has been cited as national security experience?"

Imagine Romney, Huckabee, or Richardson touting their Guard leadership during a debate or in a commercial — they would have been laughed out of the campaign.

I am laughing at comment #1 - I think the question of a baptism certificate should be moot, but according to the profile of Cindy McCain in the New Yorker of September 15, John McCain has never been baptized. The NY is usually pretty good about fact-checking. McCain could rush out now and do it, exhibiting the same kind of cynicism and impulsiveness he exhibited in choosing Sarah Palin; in fact, I'd be happy to call my local Cardinal (in case you don't believe me, he lives next door and wears a long brown robe and a cute red yarmulke) to rush something through.

I suspect the debate will go something like this:

Questioner: Governor Palin, [question]
Palin: I think the real question is [alternate question], and the answer is [string of memorized sound bites].

Hey # 40
She is gonna do the same thing Obambi did [strings of memorized sound bites]!!

> I would love to see, even though it would never happen, Biden or Obama interviewed in the same tone and distain as Palin was

Obama WAS. On O'Reilly. And guess what? He was spectacularly good. They have both given over 100 interviews. Stop being sexist and admit that Palin should not be coddled by the McCain campaign. He set her up for failure and she has failed.

"I’m looking forward to meeting him, too,’’ she told voters in Columbus, Ohio. “I’ve never met him before, but I’ve been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade.’’

IS THIS, "LIKE," THE PERSON WE WANT AS VICE PRESIDENT? So she's heard of his speeches, but hasn't bothered to watch them or read the transcripts? I'm really looking forward to this debate on Thursday.

To the McCain supporters on here who seem to be living in bizarro world where everything is the exact opposite of truth and reality (also known as schizophrenia)...

I bet if someone showed you a video of McCain saying that, if elected, he would raise taxes for everyone and eliminate ALL funding for public schools you would.... A) Say that he is going to cut taxes and provide MORE funding for public schools and, B) Still vote for him even though that meant he was going to screw you and your family over. You would probably justify it by thinking that Hollywood with all of their "fancy liberal technology" made a fake video out of 3D or something and that it wasn't really McCain.

How can you be sooooo completely lost? I really don't get it. It's like you see one thing and think it's something entirely the opposite then what, in reality, it is. I believe that's called schizophrenia, no?

Palin will surprise many who are already not convniced to vote against her. She is bright, she is honest and she cares. She is not an egomaniac boffoon with foot in mouth disease like Palgarizing Joe Biden.

Drew: O'Reilly was fair and respectful of Your Highness.

#1: Obama is a muslim, he slipped with Matt lauer, who corrected him and said, "You mean you're Christian".

LaurenThe Shiny: Did you read senate speeches when you were in 2nd grade?? IDIOT.

Quite frankly, I LOVE the fact that Palin ain't buds with everyone in the Senate and Congress. LOVE IT. !!!!!

#36 says Biden is a fine artist. I always thought he was a buffoon-jackass-dickwad.

Debbie #44:

You're right. McCain could do ANYTHING right now, and I still would not vote for His Holiness Obama and Jackass Joe. Never.

A lot of liberals have criticized McCain's VP choice by going with Sarah Palin.Shouldn't you guys be happy that he chose someone that you think is a bad candidate? Or are you scared that she'll steal votes from Obama?

You dems crack me up. For someone you reel about as being unqualified you're sure afraid of Palin. Let's see she's a Governor like: Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, FDR, Coolidge, Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt. Being a states chief executive is great experience to head up the US Executive Branch. About half of them were great, a number were from small states, like Clinton and Carter and none had interantional experience except for Teddy Roosevelt. Palin actually has more executive experience than Obama, its undebateable. Palin is following Obama's lead and attending "debate camp' just like Obama, it worked well for him let's see how well it works for the new kid in town.

So we've got a lawmaker against an executive in the upcoming debate. With all of Joe's experience he has the clear advantage as a policy wonk, but she has the experience of making tough decisions; balancing a budget running a governement and providing leadeship. It should be interesting to say the very least

From what i read most are concerned with sarah Palin's lack of experience for the job. well lets be honest none of the candidates have experience, their is no minor leage training for the presidency. But if their was I thnk that being a governor would be better training than congress or the senate. after all running the country is just like running 50 states. So lets drop all inexperiece talk and just focus on which team is better suited to handle the countries problem's at hand(Mccain/Palin)

To everyone who says Palin is "bright," I'm sorry. "Bright" people do not need five colleges and six years to obtain a bachelor's degree, unless they are woefully underachieving. Either way, anyone with Palin's dismal educational record has no right to be governor, let alone VP. To all those who will call this elitism--no, it's just common sense! Where has the idiotic notion that our leaders should be "just like us" come from? Leading the country is complicated. I want my president and my vice president to be about a thousand times more intelligent, savvy, better-read, and better-educated than I am! What is so wrong with that?

Dems act like they are great role models. Not since FDR, who let the Japs bomb PH and whose wife was a dyke, have they had a role model. Stand up, FDR, stand up!! Oh, he's in a wheel chair!!

Seriously folks, your Dem party is the party of buffoons. I'll take MCCAIn-palin any day over those dorks.

The Fanniemae scandals are going to torch Obama's campaign. there's alot about to come out now...stay tuned. He's going to get destroyed . lololol

BREAKING NEWS-- FANNIEMAE SCANDAL TO BURY OBAMA--- DEMS ARE DONE.

THANK GOD, I REALLY DIDNT WANT TO HAVE 4 YRS OF LOOKING AT HIS ANGRY DOUCHEBAG WIFE.

Let's see...
1. Worst economy since 1930's.
2. Worst President since -- maybe ever.
3. No hope in sight.

And McCain is STILL going to beat the guy who proclaims CHANGE !!
Wow.

After everthing that went down today, I can't believe anyone would want four more years of a republican regime. Come on people, pull your heads out!

I really find it hard to not talk down to republicans, i do my best, but their explanations and opinions are all based off their brain washed, racist, xenophobic, bullshit. #54 Maybe its better to base our votes off a politicians intelligence, performance, and ideas rather than thinks like their race, physical disabilities, sex and whatever else you judge people based on. I really find it sickening that some Americans minds are so decayed that they really consider Palin a serious contender for the White house. Its not her lack of experience that makes he unqualified, its her lack of intelligence and her ignorance.

It is valuable to question the intelligence of anyone we elected to run our government? shouldn't we want elite people to control us, and not the people that can have a beer with us? When it comes down to it, Sarah Palin is an insult to everything she "stands for" (women, small town people, working america). If she really loved America, and had any common sense, she'd realize how under qualified she is and drop out of the race. oh yeah, and maybe take care of her baby.

And all this talk about religion, is this what we should be focusing on when we're electing a new president in a massive economic crisis? Never-mind that being a Christian isn't a prerequisite to being president (we are a secular state), we should be focusing on who can get us out of this mess. May i remind you that John McCain has consistently voted for less regulation on wall street, admits he knows nothing about the economy, and one of his main economic advisors is the man who fought for the regulations which controlled the stock market after the great depression to be taken down.

It is amazing to me how the liberal democrats want change and are so tolerent until someone is truly different from them. Gov. Palin is that truly different person. She is conservative, she is a Christian, she is not homosexual, she does not believe in abortion but in family and that scares the liberals. The reason that she scares them is that if more democrats would actually think for themselves and not how they are programmed, then they would find that more of them have the same views that most conservatives do. All people outside the large cities are more like Palin and less like the extreme liberal that is found in Obama.

All liberals and B. Hussein supporters are complete idiots...

In response to: "Anyone that even considers religion when deciding who to vote for should lose their right to vote!" Wow. Perhaps you understand neither the meaning of democracy nor "religion." If one sheds his or her beliefs in making decisions, then their beliefs aren't strong. A person with true convictions cannot separate beliefs with whom a vote is cast for. In fact, our founding fathers insisted we be provided religious freedom, not freedom from religion. Why else would prayer always start the meetings for the Constitutional Convention? I cannot begin to understand how someone that professes to be Christian can cast a vote for someone that: would not protect human life (even in the event of an unsuccessful abortion) or has close friends that suggested the US created AIDS.

The V.P. should know a little bit more than moose hunting and small engine repair.

The V.P. should know a little bit more than moose hunting and small engine repair.

The newest Palin/Katie Couric interview was worse than the first!!!! This time she brought her father to make sure she wasn't bullied by the big bad "gotha" media.

Of course bringing Papa McCain was imperative, because she wasn't facing a pimple faced college student this time around, no she squared off with the Mike wallace of questioners, the soft-ball pitching Katie Couric!!!!

Is it time for "America First" John McCain to realize that Gov. Palin is so out of her league that her winning the VP spot would put America in grave peril by just having her in the office. I'll bet John McCain is longing for the good old days of an Quayle about now.

There are some great comments and some not so great. I for one DO NOT want a politician like Biden to be the next VP. We need someone who isn't owned by the other members of congress or the senate. I believe Palin is by far the better running mate in this election. She does have more executive experience than Obama.

Obama is nothing more than a puppet on a string. Actually as I watched the debate between Obama and McCain, I started realizing that Obama with freckles and red hair would look like "Howdy Doody" a very popular marionette puppet from the 50's & early 60's.

As Zimmy said, "A hard rain's gonna fall" .....right on Palin's head Thursday night. What a joke she is. Chew her up Joe!!!!

Palin doesn't have a clue as per her interviews on Katie Couric. Boy if that is an example of her muttering and incomprehenable logic of her foreign affairs knowledge then we all are in big trouble. And seeing McCain by her side to make sure she doesn't slip up again bothers me because McCain is also protecting her as with his campaign not letting Pallin testify for the trooper gate abuse of power she did in the state of Alaska. How can any parent be proud of her on that issues. She doesn't even know what McCain is about as demonstrated when again in her interview she "would come back with 30 itmes" regarding McCain and what he stands for. She is a joke!
And they M Cain and Palin scare us when McCain says " you don't talk about things out loud" referencing the pakisitan situation. That tells me he would lie and dear ole Sara wouldn't know the difference. She and McCain should not be in the white house.McCain ran back to DC for the political stunt he pulled recently and now the republicans he says he mustered up didn't stand behind him nor the president. His own party revolted. Can't they get it - they ruined the country and now Mccain is blaming Obama? Is he having another senior "moment" he acts so erractic so who needs that kind of behavior in the white house anyway! He should not be running because no one wants another disaster and he is like the preisent clueless so he goes out and picks a "nobody" that has no business being a VP. What a pair.

Amado Castaneda, I was brought up Catholic and attended catholic schools from pre-school, to high school. I in fact attended and was a member of the biggest Catholic Church in my area. I was baptised in the Catholic Church and was confirmed at the same church. However, I was never issued with a Baptism Certificate. So using this as a basis of whether you are catholic or not is pure nonsense. This is exactly why so many of us no longer worship or are members of these olden age churches. You are so rigid in your ways and unless you follow those ways 100% you are not considered a catholic. I now attend another church and am a born-again Christian. Obama is a born again Christian. How dare you want to judge him using your narrow minded religious and catholic believes as a measuring stick. In fact you are a catholic but not a Christian. Your Catholicism does not believe in being born again nor does it believe in speaking in tongues. If anything you are the one who needs to evaluate your religion and your beliefs.

I can tell from the media reporting that they have already decided that Palin is going to be the loser in the VP debate. They are pretty much framing the story that way already, and just waiting for the day to come and pour it all out.
Look at the way they reported the Presidential debate. The plan was that Obama is going to stay his ground even though McCain is more experience. Lo and behold, doesn't matter that Obama was stunned by the specifics quoted by McCain, doesn't matter that Obama was looking for words half the time, the reporters and commentators all proclaim that Obama won! The media has no integrity, no professionalism to speak of. I am just looking forward to the day when mass media doesn't even exitst any more, so that we don't have to pay for their existence. Let them all lose their jobs. We don't need them.

John McCain belongs to a Baptist Church in Phoenix and the Phoenix Magazine interviewed McCain and he claimed that he had not been baptized. How can you listen to a Baptist sermon and not be convicted to be baptized? I'll bet Obama has been baptized.

I do not see how Gwen Ifill can possibly be an objective moderator for the VP debate, where she is an author of a book lauding Obama. Proving, once again, the liberal bias of the media.
