Palin's Favorable Ratings Plummet

[cmiller928]

You thought she did fine? IDIOT!

[oejman3]

man he is the most awkward person I've ever seen. scary it was actually a close race-

[MrRayumali]

I never get tired of watching this hilarious nonsense!!!! JOhn Mccain can suck 2 teabags!!!

[redhead761]

Wonder what McCain would say about Palin TODAY? She cost him the election, plain & simple.

[benjaminbor30]

@redhead761 oddly enough, since the election, since you posted this, he has actually pandered to her brand of Republicanism in order to win his own primary for reelection. kind of ironic that she did cost him the election but in doings so moved his party further the right and forced a transformation of political survival in him all all at the same time...you know, how he is no longer and never was a maverick -- hah! to answer your question, he is probably kicking himself...

[LiberalsSuckBallz]

Brokaw is a piece of garbage

[klizzard359]

"She needs no defense"

which is why he attended her next Couric interview and defended Palin's answers by claiming the "elite media" was asking "gotcha questions."???

[h2oiko]

"not qualified because ..... ?" (again) "not qualified because ..... ?" ... and then you can mcCrankie going, "son of a bitch, he is good!!!!!" LOL

[redhead761]

She is NO roll model! She is self-serving and not very bright when you watch her interviews. She didn't want to be prepared for her Couric interview because she is used to winking and wiggling her way into whatever she wants, and she fully expected to do it again as VP candidate. Her Alaskan "experience" is with a sparsely populated WEALTHY State.. Try running debt-ridden New Jersey! She'd be in a mental institution in 2 weeks! Give it up, she's NOT the Republican's "savior!"

[killingedge123123]

shes a politician just like mccain biden and obama

theyre all idiots

[redhead761]

If that's true, they are highly educated idiots, and she is not.

[MyPrettyBella]

MsDreama25 - Your statement that she's qualified to be VP but not quite possibly be President doesn't make sense. The role of the VP is to serve as President should the current President die or become incapacitated. This alone was enough to make a majority of Americans vote for Obama/Biden. It would be frightening to have Palin serving as President, since she has no clue as to what's going on outside of Alaska.

[MsDreama25]

Of course she did well, she was prepared. But in interviews where she has to answer questions unprepared, she tanked. She was qualified to be VP, but not ready to quite possibly be President.

[dlvme2]

She is very qualified she will fit in perfect with all the crooks that are republicans. She can lie with the best of them while winking at the camera and smirking at those that are her betters.

[EyeLean5280]

Very well said.

[cricketlover1117]

let's not forget her most important qualifaction: a skeptic of science and a jesus-freak.

[klizzard359]

Hey hey now, im a jesus freak, and I love science!

The real issue is that it takes a...erm...lack of intelligence to honestly think dinosaurs lived with humans, or that the universe is only 6,000 yrs old.

[JimShadyUK]

If you merit a certain label, people will tend to call you that - you don't have to do it yourself. Mick Jagger is a rock star - he doesn't need to announce it. If McCain feels the need to describe himself and Palin as "mavericks" the amount of times that he has, then it just sounds like he's trying to convince people that they are. Sadly, when McCain was a REAL maverick, he lost to Bush. The fact that he's voted with him 90% of the time isn't exactly maverick-type behaviour.

[jdempsey84]

Americans also care about hypocritical bastards who think that making 250k+ is "not wealthy". I guess you need 6 houses, like McSame. Or is he just as frugal for having less than 10 houses? Fuck that. Vote Obama.

[vsop333]

We need to make Palin some kind of deal where she goes away to a reality tv show where all of her adoring fans can safely vote for her without endangering the rest of us. It's all Palin really wants and it's all her fans really want, a big pep rally. Why not just do it at a Bible retreat somewhere instead of the world stage where the grownups are working?

[Post4now]

"She and her Family lives a Frugal life" She and her Family makes over 250K a year based her their tax returns. I guess its Frugal compate to the McSames but shit...she should be able to afford her own clothes.

[alexee2007]

I don't understand anyone who had the nerve stating she was a maverick when she accepted $150k of clothing.

She is not even qualified for the governor. She could not answer about the job of VP.

[alexee2007]

She is not a maverick. What do you call when she charged the Alaska state per diem when stayed in her house? What's about the charged the stated for her kids travel and spent $150k on clothes, which was not her money.

[givebirthathome]

Let's remember what Palin "ignites the crowd" to do---is it hope? is it listening to others? is it working hard to be well-informed and sober in judgement? Nope. Its shouts of "traitor" and "kill him".

[gmcjetpilot]

My Gosh, we are talking about the VP, one heart beat from McCain. McCain could drop is bowels, hit the floor and this person will be in charge?

She does not know:

-What she reads?

-Any supriem court cases?

-What the VP does? (than makes it up)

-Foreign policy or economy? (but lives near Russia, so thinks she's an expert & is Gov of socialist states with oil welfare checks)

She is a light weight not qualified & has delusions of grandeur. Most disturbing is how easy she lies.

[givebirthathome]

Those Americans who care about their jobs, need to vote for Barack, the candidate who the AFL-CIO rated 95%, not McCain whose rating was 17%. Under Bush, labor law was misused to prohibit dockworkers who were unloading toys from striking, *as a national security risk*.

McCain so jeopardized the welfare of America in appointing Palin, he caused conservatives like Buckley and Charles Fried to endorse Obama even though they disagree with his big-gov't policy.

[PierreElliottTrudeau]

Those are tough questions but open ended. No accusations but rather statements of record being presented to McCain. He does not seem comfortable and quite agitated.

[utuba69]

he would have won if palin was dumped.

[32michelleny]

The only thing McCain is good at is lieing!!! Smart choice is Obama!!!

[NOpalinNOmcBUSH]

AND DONT FORGET MY SON WENT TO THE MILITARY TO AVOID JAIL TIME AND IVE JUST BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF

ABUSING MY POWERS OF GOVENOR OF ALASKA.. OH YEAH AND MY 17 YR OLD DAUGHTER IS KNOCKED UP BECAUSE I ONLY BELIEVE IN ABSTINENCE ONLY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS .... dumbdumbdumb and dumber

The Republicans weak pathetic desperate ''October Surprise'' leads straight to the Democrats ''November Surprise'' when Obama wins.

[FlowerClown]

Vote Obama,

Intelligence for a change.

Bush is a Maverick, look where that has gotten us.

[69donuts1]

THIS GUY IS DUMBER THAN CAT SHIT!! Oh its so embarrassing to even think that there are still people who are going to vote for this clown...WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!

[DRV275]

Oh man, he wouldn't do any harm to his chances if he started criticizing Palin too.

And see how he said, "I don't defend her..." but then he went on to defend her with the same bullshit we've heard since she first came on the scene.

Oh, grandpa!

[gmcjetpilot]

"executive experience"? What executive decision did she make? A sports center in Wasilla built on land city didn't own-lawsuit; put city million's in debt. Had no responcibility for fire, schools or social services.

Governor? "She meet payroll". State treasure does payroll. State legislators make budget.

Reformer? Blew the whistle to advance her political career. Shes a SNICH. Expense account high & bogus

eBay plane was a loss; she's using other state plane like crazy. Lied about bridge

[givebirthathome]

What is a SNICH? I'd heard about the sports center, but just barely. Its sad there has been no sober assessment of her executive experience.

I was a reporter in a small town, and indeed we had one selectman who really showed excellent capabilities--winning grants, appointing qualified people who voted against him, brilliantly pulling off a number of large projects pro-actively. Sounds like this doesn't describe Palin.

As usual, the MSM did an incredibly poor job.

[gmcjetpilot]

snitch+bitch=Palin

"McCain campaign call her a "Rouge Diva"

What reform has she accomplished, new policy?

Guilty, ethics violations? Lied about Ted Stevens "bridge to no where", was for before against. (BTW Ted Stevens (R-AK) 7 felony counts!)

eBay Plane? Not sold on eBay & for a loss. She uses state troopers King Air for her travel @ $4,000/hr.

I see, Palin, journalism major/1st runner up Miss Wasilla gives you a boner. 1st crisis McCain strokes out & Barbi North is in charge? LOL

[gmcjetpilot]

You're a nice guy. "Small Town" & nice gal/guy from "real America" doesn't qualify them. Yes people in NY, SanFan or Dems and even (gasp) liberals are real Americans.

Palin shows arrogance & hubris matched with lack of real experience & education, its disturbing. She reminds me of Bush.

We had 8 yrs of folksy talk. I'm done with folksy. Palin is a nice lady but...

I want the total IQ of Pres & VP to be highest. McCain is old, erratic, no scholor and graduated at bottom of his class.

[gmcjetpilot]

She is TOO FAR RIGHT, even for me. She wants abortions & gays 100% outlawed, illigle, trained by GOPAC, Newt Gingrich's boot camp for lock steppers, PARTY 1st.

Reformer? No a partisan ideologue.

Nasty stuff: Pregnant Daughter? supervision, morals? (if Obama, Oh my..)

Blessed by Witch Doctor in speaking in tongues church that thinks 2nd coming is in Alaska?

Husband belonged to frieng separatist group that HATES AMERICA? She gave group 2006 invocation saying "keep up the good work"?

[vizcarra]

She has executive experience because her husband works the third shift on an oil facility?

[skydogz1]

Brokaw wants to talk polls and not issues. What a trouble maker.

McCain/Palin '08!

[eleeter]

John McCain is delusional, bar none.

[busherbee]

I'm voting for the ticket with the higher IQ... so those hate-mongering lobbyist-controlled pseudo-mavericks with their minions of gullible ignorant racist red-necks can go suck it!

[gmcjetpilot]

You're voting for smart people to run the country for a change? WOW that's a radical idea. LOL

Yesterday McCain said "they" wouldn't attack us because "they know me"? I'd rather smart than bravado. We just got done w/ "Bring it on" Bush last 8 yrs.

Yea, ignore poll data, like Bush ignored intel that contradicted bull shit intel justifying Iraq. They made decision first, fit facts 2nd.

Obama will take all facts in & than make a decision. Novel idea right. McCain is erratic, impulsive.

[SpitfireOFatj]

I get a chuckle when "friends" who are Republicans site her being a governor because I just look at them and say, "So was Bush".

[laghes]

Why do I get the feeling, that he doesn't believe one word of what he is saying about Palin?

[tfk3160]

Did he just say Palin has more "executive" experience than Obama and Biden together? Did he say she's against corruption? She has been found in abuse of power, she spent over 300 days on per diem while at home, she flies her kids around on tax payer money and she's against corruption. She was the mayor of a town that had less people in it than my high school. McCain has criminally poor judgement in picking this idiot for a running mate. She is a dope.

[lukebccb]

What what the fuck is McGramps gonna say? The fucking truth? What is he gonna own up: "the righwingers shoved her down my throat!" Look even YOU and I would HAVE to continue the big fucking lie cause what other choice is there?

[LemonSparkles]

Look at McCain's face. He can't even defend Palin without looking like someone's clamping down on his big toe with a needle-nose pliers.

You can't defend the indefensible, and I can't wait until she's relegated to the confines of some joke Fox talk show--in the same category as Huckabee.

[CitzenVain714]

this is just sad.....

I'm almost starting to feel bad for John McCain...almost...

[km6xz]

Without taking a breath, he rattled off 7 lies in a row. THAT is why people say she has no business in any office, even govenor of Alaska. Why does no MSM media bring up the fact that a republican majority investigation rule that she broke the laws on ethics?

All Palin and her sidekick Grampy talk about is that Obama is a Muslim, a terrorist, a crook, a socialist, baby butcher, not a naturally born citizen, etc but never ever provide any evidence. Every day is it a new set of lies

[missteek08]

i don't even think McCain believes the shit he's spouting.

and what in the hell does her husband's job has to do with her being VP.

[bighorn345]

McCain - Palin 2008 = Titanic the Sequel!!!!

[DoctorDoubleX]

LOL WUT!

You sir, get one internet

[probolyknot]

Say it Ain't so Sarah!

I guess all those new fancy clothes you bought just aren't paying off for her.

[quicksite]

(( omgeveryname has replied to your comment :

in that respect more than mccain as well! ))

HA HAH! So true. He should add to his talking points: "For God's sake she has more Executive experience than *I* do, more than Obama, Biden and I have combined".

We'll have to leave that to Jon Stewart, or Keith O. or Rachel Maddow. These days even Chris Matthews might say such a thing.

[zapponsalvia]

McCain can't even look Brokaw in the eye when he tries to defend Palin.

[quicksite]

(( McCain can't even look Brokaw in the eye when he tries to defend Palin. ))

That's because -- heh heh -- he's not defending her; he's PRAISING her! Don't you GET it ?

[hcwcars1]

wtf

[shadspreiter]

the fact that her husband works the third shift on oil facilities on the North Slope is part of her being qualified to be President how again??? I'm confused as to how this could posibly be a qualification for President of the USA

[rickyponting2009]

She is a role model to millions of americans?

John McCain please give me what you are smoking.

[rickyponting2009]

What the heck is Mccain doing there. He is just as bad as Palin in some aspects.

[dralavant]

It's amazing how stubborn McCain is when defending Sarah Palin. JUST ADMIT IT ALREADY MR. MAVERICK! SARAH PALIN IS NOT QUALIFIED!!!!!

[jeffzalonka]

what the hell?

[oldboldcold]

McCain's praise is a hollow echo.

She rigged the natural gas contract so only her associate/lobbyist (Canada gas) could bid on it. A 40 billion dollar deal with 500 million given up front to the only bidder.

It just keeps getting deeper.

Palin, the corrupt plutocrat is bamboozling McCain out of the White House. He knows it.

You Betcha.

[quicksite]

"She has more executive experience than Senator Biden and Obama together"

Good night, John...

[Mo00X]

LOL!

[omgeveryname]

in that respect more than mccain as well

funny but a horrible justification :P

[carmie1818]

"That qualified, a because?"

"She is not qualified because she is a book-burning, creationist, gun-toting,Nazi wing-nut" -This is what Tom Brokaw should have said.

[quicksite]

(( "She is not qualified because she is a book-burning, creationist, gun-toting,Nazi wing-nut" -This is what Tom Brokaw should have said. ))

Ahhh but don't forget Tom Brokow was ONE OF those very hand-selected softball "non-prosecutorial" interviewers to be given access to by McCain's heavily stage-managed campaign.

And Tom is showing you right here his "non-prosecutorial" style -- which asks seemingly hard questions, then allows softball answers.

[carmie1818]

Excellent point. He and McCain seem to have a locker-room style relationship, complete with male bonding sarcasm.
