DaveJim you can't seriously blame the media for sinking Palin can you?
1st of all... she was chosen for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only... because she would GET media coverage away from Obama, and she would attract the angry Clinton supporters, period. It's as plain as day. There were plenty of other candidates with similar values, skills and more experience than her, but she was chosen to take O-BOMB-A off the front page, and in a way it worked (just not in the way they planned).
It was a gamble by McCain because of her experience and she has been exposed. I really really really wanted to vote for him but now find myself in a position of limbo. I thought she was terrible in the debates... absolutely terrible. She doesn't know enough about the issues and is another headstrong "my way or the highway" type of candidate that America needs to steer away from. Its upsetting. Standoff from the beginning "I may not answer all the questions" blah!!!!
For someone that needed to prove herself she has failed miserably in my eyes. If anything she has been coddled on the real issues and been ridiculed on her look more than anything.
To think that anyone bases their vote on an SNL skit a real lack of faith in the people that vote. They have slayed every politician since the mid 70's and we're now calling them a deciding factor in the race? Please show the average American a tad bit more respect.
