Ms. Palin has had the harshest treatment because she is the worst of the candidates. The press is doing their job. She lacks the intelligence, experience, knowledge, and judgment to be president. She may be a nice person, and she probably means well, but she has no business leading our country. It is much too important a job to be given to one who is completely unqualified. Even the McCain campaign knows she is not qualified. Why else would they keep her hidden away from the press for as long as they have? In every interview she has given she has shown poor thinking and ignorance. The first time she blew the answer to the question about the "Bush Doctrine" can perhaps be excused, but Bill O'Reilly gave her a second chance a week later and she still couldn't answer. That is why we will never see her answering questions on a Sunday morning news show, and that is why she has no business being John McCain's running mate. Suppose John McCain wins, then dies the day after he is sworn in. Can anyone really picture Sarah Palin making decisions about how to fix our economy?

Palin is MORE qualified than Obama to be President,that's the funny part. Obama is in a protective bubble, largely maintained by the press. He has no qualifications to be president. In fact, when he was running for the nomination no one who was asked could come up with an accomplishment of his. No one. Except one woman said "He's black." So, that tells you all you need to know about Obama's qualifications. He doesn't have any. But it's more worrisome than that. Obama's ties to Ayers are disturbing, and they run deep. 1) Why did Obama travel to Chicago from New York, after he graduated from Columbia? He had no family there,no relationships. Except as soon as he got there he got involved with Ayers and Community Organizing. What was that all about? 2) The Ayers relationship led to ties to PLO/terrorist members whom they both gave money to through the Woods Foundation. Ayers seemed to be putting Obama in touch with other left-wing groups and individuals. 3) Ayers had connections at Harvard and helped Obama get into that university. 4) Ayers set Obama up on boards after he came back to Chicago. 5) Ayers made a trip to Venezuela to confer with Hugo Chavez. 5) Obama formed relationships with corrupt CEO's of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and got tons of money from them to look the other way. 6) Obama is involved with some kind of conspiracy to derail the economy in order to get him elected and install a Socialist government in the US.

Palin and McCain are their own worst enemies. The don't need Obama folks to lose the support of the public, they are doing a fine job of it themselves. Not surprising they are losing more states.

Freedom of Opinion does not mean that we have the right to deny the freedom of the people. Slanted journalism is denying the freedom of the right of people to choose/vote. The way the press ridiculed Gov. Palin sometimes exposes the ignorance or lack of ethics. google "Alaska + Russia + Bombers + Nato" and your will find that Couric & critics are themselves too stupid to understand the issue. "professing to be wise, they became fools". Another point is that people think that Obama is more intelligent just because he has a law degree. They are wrong here again. Many people do not want to be lawyers because that profession has such a bad reputation of immoral conduuct - trying to talk/lie so that a guilty person excape justice . Lawyers are "parasites" in the sense that they do not directly "produce" anything or earn foreign exchange income. Ability to memorise books or twist truth is not a measure of wisdom or abiliiy. Some are just gifted.

If the Republicans treated a Democrat woman running for office the way the press is treating Sarah the liberal press would be calling for lynch mobs.

This is hilarious, watch the uneducated candidate complain and squirm when she is asked the tough questions. It's sad to think people are being "too" hard on a candidate that is barely capable of anwsering even the most basic of policy questions. I guess if she ever becomes president she can just ask the other nations of the world to take it easy on her, and maybe she can get some facts and information for them and "get back to them on it." What a complete joke...

She's getting bad press because she's woefully ill-equipped to serve as vice president of this country and anyone with half a brain can see it. That's a big reason why she, and McCain, will lose and lose badly. I'm sorry that the press isn't pandering to the right's blind endorsement of this pathetic hack- but let's face it. They are being pretty reasonable about who we're willing to allow to run this country. And if you think I'm wrong, and Palin is "the one", then nominate her in 2012 and give her another shot at it. (please do that, actually)

Gov. Palin is very refreshing from the run of the mill politician. Today it seems that America is like a ship sailing in very rough seas. The ocean that she is sailing is full of people, Americans, ready to make a difference and put their shoulders to the problems facing America. However, as we all know, oceans are full of sharks and this ocean is so infested with sharks that it is named the Media Ocean. Consider: The Good Ship America, The Media Ocean and The Obama Iceberg at: http://zachjonesishome.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/the-good-ship-america-the-media-ocean-and-the-obama-iceberg/
