I soooooooooo agree. I am absolutely mortified at the idea of her in the VP chair. For the life of me I cannot fathom anyone voting for McCain/Palin.

By the time that SNL episode rolls around she'll only have about a week of fame left before everyone forgets about her again.

Palin will remain extremely popular among conservatives even after she loses on Nov 4. She may end up as a Gingrich-like counterpoint to every issue Obama deals with between now and the next election. That lady isn't going anywhere.

Uhm, you do realize what a denigrating comment that is to Newt Gingrich? Whatever you can say about the man's politics, he is a smart guy, and a brilliant politician. Palin is neither intelligent, nor politically astute in the kind of long-term way Gingrich was. Palin will fade out of the national spotlight after Nov. 4, and head back up north where she belongs.

Getting to me how? It's not her, man, it's the country that's getting to me - I can respond to Randy below as well... She refuses/is not allowed to give an unscripted press conference. This is unprecedented in our national politics.

What makes me ill is that the incredibly serious role of the vice president of the united states, one of the most powerful nations in the world, has about a 50% chance of being filled by someone that has not had to answer to the press corps, yet will appear on a fluffy entertainment show. Like I said, completely unprecedented.

Randy, my point isn't that she shouldn't do it, it's that she would do this, what will probably amount to a walk on role for a few laughs, before she would get in front of the press and answer questions that she hasn't been given first. Hillary, Biden, Obama, and McCain have all given press conferences in the past, why is Sarah not held to the same standard?

Which is why I came to my earlier conclusion that this woman is a joke. She was picked by whoever told McCain to pick simply to rally the base, which he has long had problems with, which is why I came to the conclusion that he sold his soul, if not at least his integrity.

So she's not particularly effective in "getting to" me, Patrick, that really wasn't my point before. From an electoral/political standpoint, her being effective in getting to me would mean that she made me consider voting for the Republican ticket, no?

Hardly the case here, as I'm sure you can tell.

argh "was picked by whoever told McCain to pick"
should be "was picked by whoever told McCain to pick HER".
Or is it whomever? I dunno... lol

Why is it being a hypocrite? If Obama didn't talk to the press, I would say the same thing. I think McCain has been frekin' hilarious on SNL, but I've also seen him interviewed ad nauseum. The whole Palin thing has been mishandled by the RNC, it could have gone a lot better for them and for her. SNL is just taking advantage of the situation for laughs and ratings.

ha, just bored at work man, but thanks for the insult... you'll notice i didn't throw anything your way.
