If Palin has to suspend interviews with news anchors in the U. S. because she failed miserably, how is she going to be able to negotiate one-on-one with our enemies? Her "fashion" isn't going to help her with tough questions from international adversaries.

Gov Palin is a Washington D.C. outsider. She represents America's middle class better than most people realize. Edited discussions with biased media members is not newsworthy. News anchors are supposed to REPORT the news not make it.

Sara Palin will change Washington politics. This country needs a solid kick in the bottom. The devisive politics of both parties is to blame for the mess we are in financially. And if you consider the results of the "so called" Washington elite then maybe we need Palin now more than ever.

Sarah Palin will only "change" Washington politics by being female. One doesn't have to be "elite" in order to be corrupt, after all, and if anything, her attempts at appealing to the middle class are offensive. Winking? Really? This isn't a swimsuit contest--this is politics.

Palin can barely keep up with a national debate. How will she act in an international field?

TinyThomas Stobie That is how the media trys to present her, listen carefully and you will see different.
TinyKrystal The media's presentation of her made her wink at the camera? Really? She's not nearly the victim you think she is.

Oh Mercy, It doesn't matter,a VP is not that important,only does tye breakers and assist when needed.does not make major decisions,,does not run the country,is not an adviser.
I do think we need a real person in Washington,Not an elite or a Celebrity.

The Vice President takes over if the President of the United States is unable to perform his or her duty. They meet with dignitaries and ambassadors from other nations--indeed, even visit the nations themselves on behalf of American citizens!--and must know and abide by international law while pressuring and/or persuading other nations to aid ours.

The VP may not sign the bills, but they certainly have a hand in politics.

TinyThomas Stobie Palin is still more qualified than Obama in all these areas.
TinyKrystal Show me proof.
