How many years has Obama (57 States) been running for President? How much money did his campaign get (or take) from foreigners? Where are his academic records? – Sarah represents honesty… yes I know ALL Politicians are supposed to be liars… but the rare exception can exists. – I am an Independent very frustrated with the current republican party and its inability to provide differentiation with the democrats – I voted for Sarah… John was also on the ticket. I suggest that Sarah continue her involvement – she has my support.
I think it would be fun to be in a room with Obama supporters viewing HowObamaGotElected dot com

So, the demostrably corrupted Republican party should not be criticised for wrongdoing – you call it besmirched – because God is watching and he doesn't like criticism? Is he's thinking those guys did great and those who criticise are bad so we're going to hell? I'm sure there are a few things in the Bible about knowing them from their fruit (what have the Republicans borne in the last 8 years? poverty, greed, pollution, war, death – ANd are you claiming to speak for God? Isn't that a little presumptuous?

Askmieke, if yo uhave read the Communist Manifesto, I would like to hear how Obama is a Marxist. You must be listening to those crazy Fox News propagandists. Just because a democratic-loving American beleives progressive policies are better for our country (which about half of us agree with), doesn't make him a Marxist. Your type of "us" against "them" thinking is what most of us are sick of. Maybe it's time to read/view a broader variety of sources.

More Democrats register and vote: i.e. colleg kids who have no clue what it is like to hold a job and pay taxes for 45 years, then your 401K plans are to be taken over by the government AND my payroll taxes are going to increase by 7%. "To spread the wealth" excuse me. I have paid my dues in hard work for my entire life. It is YOUR patriotic duty to earn a paycheck instead of sitting on the porch drawing welfare or living off Mommy and Daddy while going to school. Open your eyes people!

Anita: Too bad you didn't hold out for a candidate who knows which article in the US Constitution gives duties and powers to the VP or a candidate who knows there are 50 states in the US.

Residente and Jon: Speaking of when a candidate can not answer simple questions or when their foot is inserted in said mouth – why wasn't a fuss raised when the VP elect Biden didn't know which section of the US Constitution related to the powers and duties of the Vice President of the United States??? That was a MAJOR blunder but was swept under the rug by the main stream media AND Obama supporters. And how about the time that Obama said he has campaigned in all 57 states and has 2 more to go????? One would think that he wuld have it sealed into his brain that he wants to govern 50 states. Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson were both condesending: i.e. "What do you read in Alaska?" The RNC threw Palin to the wolves with the first two interviews being the some of the most biased liberals in the country.

Resudebte: Palin is indeed ready to be 2nd in command. Look who you people elected – the most inexperienced candidate in US history! The GOP needs an enema – soap suds enema until clear. We need to remember the values that this country was based on. The founding fathers would turn over in their graves and the changes that are planned for this country and even the way the Constitution is being thought of. Yes, I minored in United States History.

And what is it you think obama knows? just because he's a well spoken harvard law school graduate, the man has never had a real job. He's been on a single track to the presidency ever since he was tapped here in california from his mediocre, coke snortin college days. He's smart…but about what? He's smart enough to get your vote…but what change were you voting for exactly?
Gibson and Couric were condescending at best…she was pissed and it showed. Would couric have asked obama what he read? NO…everyone assumes he reads the law reviews… what about Biden..what does he read, and what would that matter? What did Couric want her to say? The Wasilla Post so everyone could laugh? Why would she read the NYTimes in Anchorage…??

I think you don't understand the meaning of the word socialist. Alaska doesn't own the company…they own the mineral rights where the companies are drilling. You're right though, Obama is not a socialist. He's a Marxist in his ideology, which is the key to toppling capitalism. Get your facts straight. We need more venom when someone is trying to steal your life, liberty and selfishness [pursuit of happiness]

Too bad you didn't at least hold out for a candidate who knows the pledge of allegiance.

"Look who you people elected – the most inexperienced candidate in US history!"

As opposed to the governor of the nation's smallest state {in population}, who, as mayor of a town of 5,000, took it from zero net debt to $20 million in debt . . .

Yep, that's real "experience."

You think the FF would "turn over in their graves at the changes . . . and the way the Constitution is being thought of" . . . you mean like warrantless wiretapping, suspension of habeas corpus, and extraordinary rendition?

I believe you when you say you minored in US History. It's obvious you didn't major in it.

If you think this person is ready tlo ead our nation , you have been asleep yhe past 11 weeks. She is a divisive and polorizing figure on the campaign trail. Her lies during and after the the election are on You tube.At the gathering of republican governors she did not have one idea to put forth. I hope she does get the nomination in 2012 because I believe Pres. elect Obama will easily defeat the Gov.!!

Waste of $50,000 on thanking Palin. Not sure what to do with the money, make a donation in her name. Here is a resource for suggestions: http://www.learningtogive.org/resources/foun.asp Those who want to blame the "liberal media" for Palin's demise are delusional. Her lack of intelligent responses in interviews, being a heartbeat away from the presidency and focus on non issues (such as Ayers) during the campaign, were the reasons for her unpopularity. Her best speech was the first, at the RNC, and she didn't write it. Her delivery was awesome. Had she kept the momentum and sounded as brilliant as she did that night throughout the campaign – McCain could have won. Any other time she spoke after that was a nightmare. As a woman in a leadership position, I cringed at her lack of informed responses during the Couric and Gibson interviews. Even when she spoke after the election she still didn't directly answer questions most of the time and was vague about how she would specifically change things. She has a lot to learn and that is a reality. The one talk she did deliver well was to a group where she spoke about special needs. I thought she was the most eloquent then – she actually promised the government would fully fund special education if she and McCain got into office – something that has never been done since legislation was enacted in the 70s. Please, put Sarah to rest. Pushing her on us with Ads that waste money make it seem that only those without a clue follow her.

I'm one of those independent women voters – I voted for Bush twice (sorry about that USA). No way could I vote for McCain/Palin, especially because of Palin. Independent voters are now 1/3 of the voting public and more Democrats register and vote than Republicans. So, if you don't put a team forward that the independent voters (male or female) can believe in, you might as well forget it.

No, they are just laughing at Sarah Palin, like the rest of us in the country who had the common sense to realize voting for this woman, who would have been a heartbeat away from the presidency, would have been suicide for all of us. She's not only a moron, she's an egomaniac who has proven she will use the power of her office to do whatever she wants. This is not someone I'd want to have her hand on the nuclear trigger.

I can't see a damned thing that's Patriotic about her – Patriots think about their country before themselves, and that's NOT Sarah Palin. Patriots don't use fear, lies and division to try and win an election – the FBI had to tell her her speeches were inciting violence against her opponent (but that didn't stop her). She intimated that parts of the country were not "real america." She gives a speech for a group her husband belonged to that believed Alaska should leave the union. Yeah, she's a great patriot.

The couric interview was more than fair, even soft – Palin was incoherent, as she usually appears to be when she is not reading from a teleprompter or a memorized speech someone else has written for her. You want to blame someone else for her behavior, but its not the media's fault she can't speak about anything outside what happens in her own state. She sure does know how to lie, though. .

I would have voted for a woman for president if I thought she was the better candidate. Whether the candidate has the right plumbing is not part of my decision process.

The group that created the video is a Political Action Committee. Our Country Deserves Better is a PAC, so they can only spend donations on political actions. I think it's cool that they chose your community to do it in, so you probably got some residual benefit out of it.

Personally, I think this was a great thing to do. She is an icon of all that's great about America. The media isn't laughing at Sarah Palin the person, they are laughing and mocking everything that we, as conservatives with common sense hold dear. Let the soup lines form around Obama. He'll create government jobs out of thin air, on our dime. We deserve better, only if we are willing to fight for the patriots like Sarah Palin.

Please let Sara rest in peace. If you even half believe the exit polls she was the reason that 63% of independent women voters gave as why they voted Obama. Thus, any chance McCain had was gone. She made an absolute fool of herself on the Couric interview and that sealed her fate forever!!

Please allow her to take care of Alaska and her lovely brood and let us conservatives find a duo that has at least some chance of winning.

As Gen. Colin Powell said so politely when asked on Face the Nation if he felt that Palin was qualified to be VP his response was…..puleeeeese!!!

That said it all!!!!
