Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP? PBS Poll

[*Hiker*]

PBS is doing a poll on whether or not Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP. Right now it is a dead heat 49% YES 49% NO. The libs are trying their best to get the NO votes. Let's help her with some YES votes.

I tell you what. I would need to see quite a bit more from her to vote a wholehearted YES. I think McCain is making a mistake by not having her talk to the media much. Many people don't know a darned thing about her and not having her talk won't exactly win them over. She surely has not been too impressive in the couple of interviews she has given. She better be on top of her game during the debate with Biden or else he will mop up the floor with her. I am supporting the McCain/Palin ticket, but I've got to tell you that other than her looks, I've not been too impressed from what I have seen from her.

Talk to the media more. Are you kidding. Every time she strings together more than a couple of sentences on film, they do cut and past edits to make it sound like she advocates burning witches. The best thing they can do is keep her under wraps and then turn her loose in the debates. Let folks decide based on what she actually says on live TV instead of what the news editors want to make it sound like she said.

Absolutely friggin' right, Lanse Couche Couche. It is apalling how foully the mainstream media treats Sarah Palin. Wait until she has the bully pulpit of the debates where she can be heard uninterrupted, unedited by her arch enemies, and when she has that nincompoop Joseph Bidden as a foil.

I think that she will do okay in the debates, but even if she doesn't, it will be refreshing to see her get bashed for what she actually said instead of what folks want to say that she said.

[Steve863]

She could stipulate that she wants to go on live TV where there would be little room for editing. Not having her talk at all is NOT going to help McCain/Palin with the independent voters they will need to win the election. Many of these voters are starting to think that she is hiding something, most especially that she might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer on a good many issues. I think people have the right to see more of her than they have up to this point.

What? No poll on whether Obama is qualified to be President? Hmm...must not be that important...

Say what you want. Biden was being interviewed on TV when Palin was still in elementary school. So far Palin has done zip in comparison.

What?Â* No poll on whether Obama is qualified to be President?Â* Hmm...must not be that important.

The answer to that would be a wholehearted NO! That is not the question here, however.

Well, it is kind of a moot point since we are coming up on the debates and folks are gonna get to see plenty of the real candidate.
