I got from your post that she was somehow misrepresented by the interview that ABC aired. My point is that maybe she does have sound judgment or maybe she's a wackjob. But this uncertainty is caused by her refusal to make herself readily available to the media and to some hard questions.

Sarah Palin is old news. She has already stated she took the job without knowing what's involved and that much is obvious. The GOP has no legs in this election on staright issues so they need her "sex appeal" such as it is to win. What's amazing is that a whole bunch of people keep calling her really "SMART" -- this is person who wants to attack Russia and continue praying that killing innocent Iraqis and laundering taxpayer dollers to Haliburton is "God's Work". Now that's smart!!

sarah did state she is ready to lead in the vp position. the real news will be the debate, not the spin we are seeing now. i would really like to see troopergate put to rest before the election

america will vote for it's next president. if they choose mccain over obama, then so be it. it's how the election process works and how america thinks. what can we do?

I dont share your "shrug the shoulders" mentality. A lot is at stake; and the differences between the two candidates is striking. We now have Greenspan coming out and saying a McCain win would promote financial ruin for our economy. Palin is just a sick, backwards-thinking, joke of a VP. There is no telling how far this country would sink with this ticket. Plus, what does it say about America to the rest of the world?

If America elects an inferior man based on skin color, then it will speak to the nation's shame. There are no moral victories or "look how far we have come" patting-on-the-back. It will be a disgrace.

voting is not "shrug my shoulders" mentality. your anger and frustration is noted. but what are you going to do? show up at every voting both with a gun and force people to vote for the guy you want? again, america will vote for who they want. so far, the media, tv shows, etc have mostly been portraying a liberal POV or at the very least, making fun of the palin selection. so that's working in obama's favor but ultimately, what can be done? what are you going to do?

Gore lost in debate to dumb George because he came across as condisending and elite (this is bad??).

I think Biden can tear her a part but will it be viewed as he is bullying or trying to domite this "cute" girl? Crazy.

Remember how Guiliannis little joke was seen?

Funny, the reasons some love her is the same reasons they hated Hilary.

elections are about posturing and presentation. And yes, Barak is a black man with a Muslim name! Im impressed with his team, money raised and now we gotta see the big guns ablaze with being "uppity"!

On paper Obama/Biden can steamroll over McCai/Palin but they have to be carefull!

What if he wins? Will it be a nation's triumph?
I just hope that people will like me

You do realize that the debates are not going to cover everything? Like her views on Alaska seperatists movement, if she had any wrongdoing in troopgate, and some of her personal views about religion, creatonism

For the last time the major media outlets are not Liberal pick up a copy of the Nation or MotherJones thats Liberal media not the garbage you see on TV everyday. You also remember that on the big issue the Iraq war the so-called Liberal media was silent in question the US government's actions.

when every channel you turn on is making fun of sarah palin, then the media is liberal. i think your anger, frustrations, and maybe even concern are being wasted discussing this on ultimateknicks. you need to be taking about this in another place with a bigger readership. this is why i don't like discussing politics. in fact, in none of my posts have i made a clear stance on anything, nor really stated my affiliation yet many took what i said and responded to it like i said something crazy.

I dont get it. So are the questions and concerns about Palin illegitimate? Would you have considered the media conservative when they were obsessing over Rev. Wright in concern to Barack Obama? The media hammered Clinton on a nightly basis when he was President, and we're talking about easily the most successful president of our generation.

Also, where does your position on the media leave radio, which is overwhelmingly conservative. What about Fox News? CBS was caught excluding a grave mistake McCain made in one of his interviews. What does that speak to?

We have a media hell bent on synergies, corporate interests, and overall the bottom line. There is no true "liberal bias". Its just that many conservatives view facts and truth as "liberal." There is supposed to be an integrity to journalism that news organizations abide by. This has been tarnished by the lying and distorting ways of Fox News who have really perverted the medium. They are on record as having a direct pipeline to the Administration! Thats where they have gotten their talking points. Fact.

Dont misunderstand, its not as if I view Barack's candidacy as some form of reparations. But if America as a whole is going to basically condemn Bush's tenure, fret about the economy and our relationships with our foreign neighbors, and harp on family values and experience and then pick McCain/Palin then where does that leave us? Their record and positions are indefensible and completely consistent with the past 8 years.

Basically the country is saying that they would rather to continue sliding into the abyss rather than do whats morally and ethically right. Its just mind numbing. And no, I wont find solace in: "well, look how far we've come, at least white folks aint' lynchin us no mo".

no, the questions are not illegitimate. i'm am not as well versed in politics as you are. but you represent the minority when it comes to voting time. in fact, with my limited knowledge, i also represent the minority. the majority of the voters are just not into the issues.

my point from day 1 is that i do not believe anything the media states or prints. i don't go by what politic "experts" say or any of that jazz. i just read it, i don't listen to it. to me, i will wait and see what the debates are like. that's all i'm saying. but when i turn on the tv, it seems like mccain is being slammed for this selection by alot of tv outlets. and i don't think a high % of voters actually listen to polictical radio either. america will speak on november 4th. i'm not sure why you are getting so worked up. you believe i'm wrong in what i'm saying and you're trying to convince me otherwise. from my point of view, i don't even think i said anything so strong that it warrants a post to convince me to change my mind on something.

My man, I dont get why you're being so sensitive; its not as if I'm personally attacking you, I have no problem with you whatsoever. If we can get all "worked up" over the Knicks, then why cant we engage on issues where literally the country's future hangs in the balance?

my point from day 1 is that i do not believe anything the media states or prints. i don't go by what politic "experts" say or any of that jazz. i just read it, i don't listen to it. to me, i will wait and see what the debates are like. that's all i'm saying. but when i turn on the tv, it seems like mccain is being slammed for this selection by alot of tv outlets. and i don't think a high % of voters actually listen to polictical radio either. america will speak on november 4th. i'm not sure why you are getting so worked up. you believe i'm wrong in what i'm saying and you're trying to convince me otherwise. from my point of view, i don't even think i said anything so strong that it warrants a post to convince me to change my mind on something.


DJ, I hear you.

NYC is not the rest of the country. To McCains credit he has been able to remove himself from Bush and steal the "change" philosphy.

Also the election is not logical progression but emotional values at stake.

I think discussing politics here in full is very hard as it takes an even better writing skill than I posess to even begin to clarify my points. Thus leave somting out or not clarify the emotionality and its pretty predicatble:

Bitty will pounce on your moral inaccuracy and Seb will follow with some profound logic that is indisputable from his perspective.

Briggs will remind us the sky is falling, and Nalod will tell you the sky is not really there.

Playa stays away from politics believing there is no election gonna happen anyway.

Then Little bonnie chimes in some some suck up agreeable say nothing comment in his continued quest for peer approval. It must have been hell for him in the locker room after gym class!

Just this morning Marc Ambinder wrote:

America's gut reaction to Sarah Palin has been positive, and so her stumbles during the Charlie Gibson interview might not really settle in.

Based on the data we have, this is false. Palin is in a favorability free fall. In just 4 days, since her interview with Gibson in fact, the gap between those who view her favorably and those who hold unfavorable views has almost disappeared. According to Research 2000 polling, more than half the country held a favorable opinion of Palin during the 3 days prior to Sept. 11 (52%) while 35% held unfavorable attitudes. That was the day the Gibson interview aired. The 17-point net positive has fallen, as of today, to just 4 points:

Sept. 11: +17 net positive
Sept. 12: +14
Sept. 13: +9
Sept. 14: +5
Sept. 15 (today): +4

Palin is by far the least popular of the 4 candidates for Pres./VP and I don't think her slide is over yet. Because she is McCain's creation, she is taking him down as well. He had a +13 net positive just three days ago, then +12, then +9 and today just +6. By comparison both Barack Obama and Joe Biden are holding steady at +16 net positives.

As I argued yesterday, Palin can help drag down McCain. Certainly, in the end, it's about McCain. He decided she was the best prepared after all. Her inadequacy tells voters so much about McCain that bad news about her will continue to hurt him as well.

Nalod - very insightful and enjoyable.
Oh, oh - I hope I am not being too agreeable!

I think the "Vote Now" poll shows that most of UK posters are intelligent thinkers; not fooled very easily. or some may say we are "Liberals" like that's bad, right?? Here are the results:

84.4% Obama/Biden
8.9% McCain/Palin
6.7% Undecided

This poll shows that almost half of New yorkers are unintelligent and easily fooled. Ah man I wish i could be a smart liberal like the rest of you guys.
