If you cannot stand in front of reporters and take impromptu questions you are NOT Prez/VP material

That's is, there is no further discussion and there is no way of bullshitting this either. If she can't answer questions, and hell even Michelle Obama and Jill Biden will answer questions and neither are running for office, then you are not qualified.

This needs to be hounded by us and by the press. This needs to be campaign commericials. Sarah Palin isn't running for Ms United States pageant, she is in the position to be Vice President AND could seriously end up in the president position since McCain has had serious health issues in the past and is 72 years old.

NO! Hell no! How the hell does anyone even know who this woman is? Just by looking at her? Vote for her? Based on what? Her proximity to Russia?

Is this the way elections are gonna be from now on? Just have somebody flit about at rallies and photo ops, and they never have to open their damn mouth outside of canned, planned softball interviews? I tell you the Repug bar is so low it can't go any lower.

No effing way!

Does that now make me qualifed to be a US Senator?

I could go in there with these world leaders and make small chat.

And yes, by osmosis you are now more qualified than Sarah Palin to be in government. :-)

not by a long shot.

is complicit in this crime! If this nation is bamboozled into voting in this FUCKING BARBIE, this country deserve all manner of ill that the world will mete out to us to put us out of the world's misery.

We are in the middle of our economy, our livelihoods, our pensions blowing up in our faces.

The dictatorial little dude condescends to speak for 12 minutes, answering in a bumbling fashion a very few questions, then runs away.

If he dismisses his duty to answer to all members of the press, merely because they are pushing his buttons, pissing him off and not showing him respect and deference, then how the hell is he competent to deal with other world leaders on important issues? Will he refuse to speak to them because they aren't asking fair questions in his view? Because they are being mean to him?

A leader needs to talk. Not just to the American public, and the American Press, but also to the rest of the damnned world. Sometimes talk nice, but if the going gets tough, and they push him around, my president needs to be able to push back, get right in their faces, and show no fear or confusion in dealing with WHATEVER the world throws at them.

McCain can't even handle tough questions and demands from our own press - he can't possibly be fit to stand toe to toe with the rest of the world's dictators when they start crowding or displeasing him.

He is a complete fraud and incompetent.

Of course, you know Todd is the one running the Alaskan governor's office.

The majority of the 1400 e-mails that she won't turn over to the Alaskan committee investigating troopergate are from Todd.

Until she opens up and makes herself available for questions she gets absolutely no coverage. NO mention of her speeches, no photos printed from photo ops, no press releases from her agentrs- nada.

neither has the right stuff and the Republican party ought to be kicked in the ass for giving us an unsuitable ticket.

Neither one of these people are cut out for the job, McCain never will be, you can't make that kind of metamorphosis at 72 and Palin probably won't ever ready be either but McCain is damaged goods for certain.

These people aren't Presidential caliber and its a damn shame that the GOP didn't put country first and give us options that are capable because this is a game to them and winning is all its about.

Democrats may not have put forward our most credentialed people but we sure as hell didn't try to shove incompetence down the nations throat because of poll numbers.

Republicans have honestly completely failed every obligation to our country. They want to be elected so bad that of all the capable people they had for either spot they give us a pair that have already climbed above their capacities.
