Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I have to admit that she's not doing as poorly, (so far) as I expected. Much better than the Couric interviews. Debate camp must work.

This post just got PALINIZED!

What color is the sky?
I believe that the color of the sky is the most appropriate color for the well being of all people.

I have been trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with Palin. Is it the "handlers" who tell her -- never be specific -- use these phrases -- and she is so overwhelmed by those voices in her head that she can't answer a simple question?

After listening to this three times, I have decided it is worse than that. I think she is so quick to take offense, she is so quick to defend herself, that she sees a trap everywhere. She took this question as an attack, tried to defend herself, then turned around and attacked Couric. "We have magazines in Alaska, we're not a backwater" -- no way was Couric trying to say that. She was trying to get a sense of who Palin is -- the POINT OF THE INTERVIEW.

It has been reported that Cheney requires that when he goes to a hotel that the TV is tuned to Fox News. Bush has said that he listens mostly to Fox News. Couric, I think, was trying to see if Palin is a Fox News Junkie (um, Fox News Blindered Information Rejecter) or what. Time Magazine? US News and World Report? The Nation? All these publications have a slight bias and her choice of reading matter would give the American people a glimpse into her personality and bias (as if we don't know it already.)

Palin's defensiveness and quick-to-attack-mode is what is compelling here.

She's not stupid. You don't get to where she is by being stupid.

She also SHOULD NEVER BE NEAR THE OVAL OFFICE.

Pray for us all. My 84-year-old engineer military father still loves her. He's not alone.

Be afraid.

"I'm a federalist where I believe states should have more say..."
Apparently her and I have a different understanding of what "federalist" means.


"In contemporary usage [in the US], as articulated by president Bush's New Federalism, federalists advocate the principle of greater regional autonomy within the United States—usually by allowing individual states to set their own agendas and determine the handling of issues, rather than trying to impose a nationally uniform solution."

You exactly nailed why I'm monomaniacally focused on politics.

Frankly, I probably couldn't express how sick of it I am myself -- but we're in the home stretch, and I can't stop at this point.

I'm feeling very good about where things are right now in the polls, but history shows that can reverse at any moment.

32 days to go. Just 32 more days.

lol, it's so obvious that Katie Couric is jealous of Miss Palin's stunning good looks and irrefutable moral judgements

interesting priorities.

i guess brains comes 3rd on your list?... 4th?

lol, it's so obvious that Katie Couric is jealous of Miss Palin's stunning good looks and irrefutable moral judgements

Hah.. I love watching her squirm after Couric asks her about other decisions.

He's got that Katie Couric blink.

I am afraid Ms. Palin didn't want to answer the question, in case Couric asked her another.

There's that cringe reflex again. Whew that was a bad one.

Ms. President sooooo wants to punch Couric.

Sarah Palin makes Couric seem like frickin' Einstein.
