<p>as i listen to her speak, my ears are bleeding.</p>
<p>I think she is doing great, I though Biden would destroy her, but its been quite the opposite.</p>
<p>I don't think it is valid comparison between Obama and Palin's competence. To become a vice presidential candidate, the only criterion is to be picked by the presidential candidate. To become a presidential candidate of choice for one of the two major political parties requires quite a rite of passage, a true gauntlet. Obama has gone through this.</p>

<p>Great point.</p>
<p>Obama had to convince millions of Americans that he was suited for the job. Sarah Palin only had to convince Karl Rove.</p>

How anyone could defend the Palin pick after the Couric interview is beyond me.

<p>Because there are some people in the country that are willing to give enormous enormous enormous enormous enormous benefits of the doubt, as long as you are white and conservative.</p>
<p>Umm, yep, because running for office and winning an office makes you Presidential.</p>
<p>Obama ain't done jack. Palin has.</p>

<p>Laughable. The president of my university has more responsibilities and presides over a larger population than Sarah Palin ever has.</p>
<p>while she might be the stupidest candidat it might not be as stupid of a choice for mccain due to the controversy its causing. publicity is publicity.</p>
<p>I wonder about the IQ of the people who think Palin won, much less kept it close.</p>
<p>All she did was ignore the questions being asked and simply rehash her stump speech - tho this time, since she didn't have the aid of a teleprompter, her words/phrases got jumbled at times (where she would repeat the same point over and over again w/in the same window).</p>
<p>I thought nothing could be worse than hearing Bush II speak, but Palin may very well be worse.</p>
<p>Heck, she got confused at a no. of questions and contradicted her self numerous times.</p>
<p>It's scary to think that there is no discernable difference btwn Tina Fey's satirical portrayal and the "real thing".</p>
