		<description>Wow, I must agree with &quot;eatswombats&quot;, the world is indeed watching this every  step of the way and the world realizes that McCain only picked Palin because Sen. Clinton wasn&#039;t chosen to run on the Dem&#039;s ticket, now he looks like an idiot! 

Gov. Palin shouldn&#039;t be taking all the heat by herself, McCain should be the one getting slapped around for his dumb choice. It doesn&#039;t matter who he offered this high prestige job to, anyone would have taken it, it just shows that he didn&#039;t do his home work and absolutly know thought was put into his choice.

I can&#039;t wait to see the debate and the winner and loser polls afterwards on Thursday. &quot;Saturday night live&quot; will have the highest ratings ever this weekend, LOL.  

How are you going to send Gov. Palin to a foreign country to talk about or resolve any issues, &quot;disaster&quot;! Could you imagine her sitting in talks between Israel and Palestine. It&#039;s going to take her at least four years just to figure out what&#039;s going on and by then, &quot;times up&quot;. 

The American voters must vote for themselves but I pray that they do think of the rest of the world before they do so! 

McCain-Palin simply IS NOT the correct choice.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry to say it, but you may as well know that on the other side of the pond, and indeed, around the world, Palin makes America looks like a laughing stock.

The charimatic mediocrity ... expertise statement is a little bit harsh but fundamentally true it seems of, in particular, swing voters.

I had a high opinion of America all my life until Bush and Cheney decided to use 9/11 as an excuse to reshape the middle east (so they thought) and went on to commit war crimes. The REST OF THE WORLD is counting the days until this evil, criminally stupid and profligate regime leaves office. 

I imagined that the America I knew would reassert itself, reinvent itself and again inspire respect. However, McCain&#039;s act of breathtaking recklessness in appointing Palin, whom he clearly didn&#039;t know and didn&#039;t vet properly, is frightening.

It&#039;s also funny of course. Millions of people around the world are laughing their socks off at Tina Fey&#039;s brilliant take offs.

I&#039;m hoping that McCain&#039;s cynicism in appointing someone so hopelessly unqualified explodes in his face and sinks his campaign. If by any chance he is elected I&#039;ll be liquidating my dollar investments.</description>

		<description>I have to agree with mbtogut. Bush is not stupid, he&#039;s got tons of personal charm, he&#039;s got a sense of humor, and he&#039;s got confidence. Palin is way too dim, and just smart enough to realize this. It&#039;s sad really.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s become clear as this farce of a vice-presidential nomination grinds on is not only does Palin lack intellectual curiosity, she also lacks intellectual firepower. Perhaps you were just too polite to say so, but she&#039;s just plain not very bright. She comes across as someone who&#039;s gotten by on chutzpah and charm (and a pretty face) as opposed to smarts.

Now, she&#039;s in an arena where smarts do actually matter, and she&#039;s obviously in way over her head. It&#039;s also finally beginning to dawn on little Miss Hubris that she&#039;s in over her head and simply can&#039;t fake it anymore. 

For a long time, I was calling her Bush with Breasts, but I think that gives insult Bush too little credit. He plays dumb, but he&#039;s had the benefits of a world class education and exposure to the bigger world, whereas Palin has spent most of her life in an isolated region of the country and never looked far beyond her backyard. Her lack of smarts, combined with her brand of unquestioning religious fundamentalism makes her a dangerous player on the world scene. One of the best things that could possibly happen this election would be the ruin of her national political career. Let her stay safely in Alaska.</description>

		<description>For awhile I thought that Palin would have a decent chance to hold her own in this debate, as expectations are so low for her. She could just show up and stick to whatever her handlers tell her the main talking points are, such as: &quot;We can&#039;t second guess Israel etc..&quot; Now I&#039;m not sure if there is a chance for this. She just can&#039;t think on her feet and the follow-up questions will exploit her. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised to see another halting gambit by McCain this week, as everybody is expecting a s*** storm on Thursday. It should be entertaining.</description>
