I always know that an ad will be particularly delicious when the McCain approval comes at the beginning: that&#039;s his way of announcing that he&#039;s takin&#039; off the gloves: He&#039;s just so . . . . straightforward. What you see......</description>

PBS is getting exactly what they&#039;re paying for in Ifill. 

Ifill, however, has proven her lack of credibility and her lack of professional integrity as she knows squat other than the leftist drivel.

That it took McCain a flip-flop to pin the tail on this donkey should teach him to quit playing Mr. Nice Guy if he wants to win the game.

Shock and awe. Bring it on, Sarah!</description>

		<description>Palin i;m a Journalism major and I was a journalist, it&#039;s my duty to point out biases and conflicts of interest to the American people and hold people accountable, and thats what i&#039;m doing. It&#039;s was your job to recuse yourself from being the moderator of this debate when Obama was nominated since you have a book deal coming out in January with Obama&#039;s name in the title..</description>

		<description>I&#039;d take on the moderator and throw back the question at her, mostly pinning since SHE has a conflict of interest in the outcome of the election, and her book deal.. 

OMG.. the Ifill would get pissed.. 

Palin calling her unfit to be a journalist.. LMAO</description>

		<description>I wonder what would happen if Sarah Palin went hard right on every question?
Rip Ifill and Biden and generally be a total bad-ass.
Because frankly my excitement for her was based not on her being a reformer(lame term), but someone who was like Thatcher, totally committed to conservatism.
What is McCain going to do? His wimpiness the last 3 weeks killed his momentum and frankly he incapable of winning this by himself against a lying media and crap like &quot;early&quot; voting in Ohio.
Wether we lose by 2 or 12 is not relevant- what is critical is presenting a &quot;stark&quot; choice to America.
Time is running out-unleash the dragon!</description>

So what would happen if Palin did okay, or even a little better than okay, in tonight’s debate? First of all, relative to prevailing expectations, it would be a triumph. The story would be how well Palin did, 

Mr. Joe on October 2, 2008 at 2:15 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Palin could arrive to the debate walking on water, instantly heal all the sick in the nation and receive Nobel peace prize and still the coverage would be negative, &lt;em&gt;unless&lt;/em&gt; she also declared she is in favor of government funded partial birth abortion (and infanticide where applicable), government health plans, universal daycare, fairness doctrine, tax increases for the evil rich and nationalizing Walmart, pharmaceuticals and BIG oil.</description>

The story would be how well Palin did, which could get people thinking maybe they had underestimated her, which could imply maybe they had underestimated McCain. Given the attention this matchup will receive, that might even be enough to nudge the momentum back their way.

		<description>I agree with a number of the commentors that the Governor is taking on a potential Obama administration, not Senator Biden.  But, she can simultaneously derail the Obama express while throwing Biden under the train.

There are 3 clear differences in the policies of these two potential administrations that matter much to Americans:

&lt;strong&gt;Winning the wars we fight.&lt;/strong&gt;  The public debate over the last 2 years - to surge or not - established two clear positions.  Obama and Biden could not have been more wrong; McCain could not have been more correct.

&lt;strong&gt;Understanding the proper role of government in the economic health of the nation.&lt;/strong&gt;  Again, two clear positions.  The Democrats against proper oversight of the corruption at Fannie/Freddie, CRA, ACORN, etc. to such an extent that they chose contributions over national interest.  McCain, in contrast, calling for vast changes that the Democrats fought tooth and nail.  McCain was leading the charge to protect the American people from lousy government; Obama was being greased like no other member of Congress.

&lt;strong&gt;The sanctity of life as central to America&#039;s value system. &lt;/strong&gt; Again, what a vast and clear difference in positions:  Biden and Obama support the most reprehensible abortion practices right through the &quot;fourth trimester.&quot;  McCain and Palin are living out America&#039;s best virtues where every human being is valued.

I can&#039;t recall a Presidential election where the electorate has had such an opportunity to see the candidates &quot;in action&quot; in the years running up to the election itself.  Governor Palin should remind us all!</description>

		<description>A single ray of hope: McCain was counted out before, and he ended up the nominee.  &quot;I know how to win a campaign,&quot; he once said. Maybe he&#039;s just waiting for the right time to deliver the killing blow.

Please, please, don&#039;t go soft now, McCain.  As Dennis MIller said, you&#039;re in enemy territory.

Go for it!  Fight back!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Best attack point: Foreign travel.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I admit that I only recently got a US passport so that I could travel to Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq to visit our AKNG troops. That&#039;s because traveling in Alaska, and getting back and forth to the lower 48 is expensive enough.  When I became governor, Todd gave up his supervisor job with BP and went back to a lower-paying non-management position just to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.  Senator Obama&#039;s wife got a promotion and a fat raise, and her employer has benefitted from his position.

But I understand what foreign relations is all about.  You have to work with countries with interests that don&#039;t perfectly align with ours, and find the common ground that benefits everyone.  Senator Obama wants to abandon the progress we&#039;ve made together with our Iraqi allies, squandering the precious price we&#039;ve paid to get this far. Senator Biden&#039;s more experienced and sophisticated; he wants to cut their country into pieces, then run out on them.  But they have found common ground there: They all agree that his partition plan is bad for all Iraqis.

John McCain and I have solid records of reaching out to other parties domestically, to build coalitions that get things accomplished.  That shows our ability to negotiate those with whom we have differences of opinion.  Just the other day Senator Obama admitted he&#039;d be no good at influencing House Republicans on the financial crisis our country desperately needs fixed.  If he can&#039;t work with them, how does he think he can negotiate with Putin, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, or Kim?</description>

<p>John McCain and I have solid records of reaching out to other parties domestically, to build coalitions that get things accomplished.  That shows our ability to negotiate those with whom we have differences of opinion.  Just the other day Senator Obama admitted he&#8217;d be no good at influencing House Republicans on the financial crisis our country desperately needs fixed.  If he can&#8217;t work with them, how does he think he can negotiate with Putin, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, or Kim?</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So how does ’supralative’ professional objective Gwen Ifill get to compare her conflicted position to Lou Cannon who only wrote books about Reagan but never was called upon to moderate a debate between his favored candidate and his opponent.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It&#039;s called a race card.  Don&#039;t leave home without it.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Biden will name-drop leaders, places, cases, and legislation all night long. You can take that to whatever’s left of the bank.

DrSteve on October 2, 2008 at 8:28 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Dittos to everyone that has asserted this. Is it not funny that McCain bombed Obama with names the other night that showed his experience, and it did not work at least according to the MSMLSDS? When McCain was nuking his narrow butt with these names, he also dropped upon the MESSIAH head the fact that THE MANCHILD had not held one subcommittee meeting on Afghanistan, and had not been to Afghanistan, YET! THE ONE&#039;S response was he had a VP he was proud of that had been to Afghanistan! That response alone should disqualify him, and limit the sneers at her knowledge regarding anything. 

What I believe most people are forgetting is that we have long thought, or said we believe any regular American could do a better job governing this nation than those from the Beltway. Who cares if she does not know all about McCain&#039;s record? We wish we could forget his record! We have discussed how she could have answered some questions better, and found fault with her, but I believe we are placing the blame for those responses on her far to often, and should be placing it square on the shoulders of the McCain camp. They are the ones responsible, not Governor Palin. They are not only mishandling Palin, but are also ruining the roll McCain was on and are not running a political campaign to win. IF I were McCain, I would fire them before I called for Chris Cox&#039;s head!

We just registered our teenagers to vote. They are excited. They are excited about being able to vote for HER. They get what hangs in the balance if McCain does not win. They do not want to live in a world that resembles those creepy kiddies singing the praises of THE ONE. If two 17 year olds who are almost 18 can get it, then I hope everyone gets it. I do not think we are at a point in this nation&#039;s history that we get a do-over or a come back. 

If she goes to stumble I hope we think how would we do under this pressure.  If she is not perfect, I hope you can remember the last politician that was perfect. If she cannot win this by spewing McCainisms then I pray to God she spews Conservatism. Shooting Conservative bullets at Biden will drive him over the edge.</description>

		<description>I imagine poll taking is from the telephones and if the person talking to the toll keeper is home it probably means that they are not working or it could be the the other half talking and moaning about the hard times.

So much for the tolls on accuracy.</description>

		<description>Obama got away with leaning on Biden&#039;s foreign travel and experience, why can&#039;t Governor Palin do the same?  I think Governor Palin should just say &quot;Look, every candidate in this race has their strengths and weaknesses.  I may not know all there is to know about foreign affairs, but fortunately Senator McCain has great knowlege on this subject.  More importantly, he knows how to correctly use this knowlege, unlike Senator Biden.&quot;  Something along those lines anyway.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s my dream introduction from Sarah tonight:

My fellow Americans.  I understand your anger over this bailout bill that rewards those companies that were involved in creating this mess in the first place.  And I understand your anger at Congress and the President and his Administration for allowing this to happen. And I understand your anger at the Senate for passing the bailout bill.

Tonight I am announcing my withdrawal as the VP on the Republican Party ticket.  John McCain let us all down with his vote for this bill, with his failure to name the names of the Democrats that created this monster, and his failure to lead by presenting a conservative solution to the problem.  I cannot, in good conscious, be party to this betrayal of the American people.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Hang the Democratic Party around their necks…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Testify, brother. They wanted to own all of their issues, so let &#039;em. They&#039;re yours. Enjoy.

You want the guys running Freddie Mac to be in charge of your universal health care? Obama&#039;s your man. Gay marriage? Don&#039;t let &#039;em get away with &quot;civil unions&quot; like Gore tried to squirm out of it. Partial birth abortion? Yours. You want to cut and paste from Belgium&#039;s lawbooks into the U.S. Constitution? Vote Democrat. Pull our troops home and then sit down with thug dictators with no conditions? Check.

Just lay it out there.</description>
