Nothing wrong with Palin's intelligence. What is at work here is a coordinated attack by the liberal media fed by talking points from moveon.org that are designed to try to make Palin look stupid. |

Barry, I know you're not suggesting that it was George Bush's fault that 9/11 occurred -- he was in office only a few months. And I know that you didn't forget about the first World Trade Center attack when Clinton was President. Or domestic terrorism which has occurred in our country. I know it's hard to imagine a world in which you can't blame George Bush for all of society's ills and all of your own problems, but you should honestly try sometime. |

I have no problem with the media following every lead and digging up anything they can, as long as there is strong evidence behind it. These people are running for the highest office in the land, they should be inspected closer than a 206 Wagner. But if anyone believes for a moment that the mainsteam television media(ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN) and print media are not heavily slanted toward the Democrats they lack sound judgement. Likewise for Talk Radio and Foxnews slanting Republican. |

I just wrote a long post, when I got booted! How frustrating! My point is that the media is both liberal AND conservative. It is a crutch to blame the failures of conveying your ideas effectivly on a money-based institution that was never impartial to begin with. |

I thought she held her own very admirably in the debate. Even the three democratic pundits on NBC told Brian Williams as much. She hit Biden quite a few times on inconsistencies and used his own words from the primaries to demonstrate even he didn't think Obama was qualified. Rehearsed or not, she held her own. |

well it looks like 1/2 of Team Maverick got caught in the Troopergate Scandel...and several Republicans were part of the decision. For being mayor of a small town and governor of a less populated state, Palin sure seems to have more than her share of controversy. For someone claiming to be a Washington outsider...she's had lots of practice abusing her power in Alaska. |

How do you explain the MSM's fascination with the Clinton/Lewinsky affair and the subsequent impeachment proceedings? How do you explain the lack of investigation into the reasons for going to war in Iraq? The MSM leans left meme was started by Rush Limbaugh and his ilk many years ago as a political tactic. If your guy does something wrong then blame the media. Bush screws up, blame the media...what did Larry "Wide Stance" Craig do when caught in a Minnesota restroom doing unseemly things? Blamed the media. |

Jeff, I don't read the New York Times, but I do know that Judith Miller who used to write for them before she got fired was anything but a lefty...How do you explain Bill Kristol on their editorial staff if they are such a leftist paper? I will admit that if they lean in any direction it would be left, but do you consider the Wall Street Journal as part of the MSM? Which way do they lean? how about the Washington Times? New York Post? are they part of the MSM? |

Watching your 180,000 shares of $88/share Lehman stock collapse to $.07/share while working for the company "shows an incredible naivety and a lack of understanding of the financial markets. Makes one dismiss everything [you] think." |

Here are my thoughts. Everyone blames the president for everything bad no matter who is in office. The entire congress is bought and paid for. The economic situation is in a major tailspin. Although not a mass killing of lives it is on par in urgency to a terrorist attact. Your congress is now on vacation as the stock market is crashing think 1929, major businesses are going bust and this is or will affect everyone. Instead of wasting time this is what could be done. 1. Buy every forclosed home and burn them down. This will take 2 million homes off the market. Less supply = more demand. Home price will not fall anymore. Government will be landowner will always have some value. Total cost 800 billion. 2. Buy 1 trillion dollars of s+p 500 futures market regains 20 percent confidence is restored. There are many other things that can be done the problems are very complex. Thus far we are in over 1 trillion and you see the results. The government has the power right now to do these 2 things. I guess they think a vacation is more important . |

I would take away the link from those two statements.The average voter is much less informed than in the past. Also the demographics in the country are changing significantly. Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado are now considered to be toss-upo or in this election leaning democratic states because of the influx of Hispanics. |

Al, blame it on McCain's missteps all you want or The One's sheer brilliance but the fact remains that the recent economic catastrophe in our country is what has pushed Obama from behind in the polls to significantly ahead. The Wall Street meltdown is the economic equivalent of a 9/11 attack on our country in terms of effect on our collective national psyche. Had it not occurred, The One would begin work on his third memoir come November instead of making a date with Jeremiah Wright to spend the night in the Lincoln Bedroom in January. |
