..and the results are not pretty. Just standard questions any reporter should ask but they usually don't, for fear of losing favor or access.

What?!? Palin knows more about energy than ANYONE else in the country????????? Until 2002 she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (pop. 6,500). So in 6 years she's gained more knowledge on energy than everybody else in the country?? McCain is so full of sh

He said nothing of here experience. It is sad that people believe this nonsense and will vote for them.

So we are to believe because she "knows" about energy, this makes her knowledgable and experienced on foreign policy?

Hey, its Rob Caldwell. Being from Portland, Maine, I met this dude a few times... He's cool. He walked up to Munjoy Hill to watch the sunset over the mountains, there were a bunch of people up there as well... What did he end up doing when seeing everyone up there? He handed out beers to everyone. Rock on Rob.

McCain is a liar. This reporter should be very proud of himself.

Well surprise, surprise! Paulson asks for a huge government bailout just as Bushs term ends. We now know Paulson & Bernanke just didnt stumble onto this problem. If Congress had been informed months ago, the fat cats wouldnt have it so easy & there could have been enough time for real debate to take place. Now, the sky is failing and you had better sign off or were all doomed! We heard that same crap during the run up to the Iraq war.

Republicans: beyond hypocrisy, beneath contempt.

McCain is just giving republiturd talking points while not answering the questions. Typical rightwing douche.

[thisisntme]

And McCain can? He can't speak with a teleprompter.

20% of US energy from Alaska? Try, under 4%.

I am so glad I can watch this from outside the US, where I have the luxury of laughing at it. Also, I can see Russia from where I'm sitting, on the map on my wall. (My 4-year-old can find about 15 different countries on the map, including Spain - unlike McCain).

Either way its all about you. Perhaps it would be more honest for the party slogan to be Me First instead of Country First.

Or maybe youre just a mean-spirited jerk who could benefit form some therapy.
