You do realize she didn't WRITE that speach??
She co-wrote it. How could she not write those parts that were about her life. Somehow you much think she is not capable of putting together a coherent sentence.

How much does obama contribute to his speeches? I do thank whichever speachwriter was clever enough to put in the line "when the oceans recede and planet begins to heal"
Do you think that was obama's idea?

You must be new to politics - every politician has speechwriters.

She seems like a straight shooter and is in it for what is right.

I will now sit back and watch BOTH the Presidential and VP debates. I probably won't decide until the last week. Thanks to Sarah for making this an interesting race and for breathing life back into McCain's camp. I would feel proud to have you as VP or P.

Great! As long as you feel you've made the best, informed decision this is your right.

How do we know it was really her life? Has she been vetted?

What does she stand for? Moose hunting, soccer mom, fisherwoman...what did she say she was going to do for the country?...none of them say anything...they are just all defending the written publishing of their non experience! Because it is such a joke and so silly!
Plus she also has experience in not teaching her daughter to use birth control...she does not even believe in it! what a joke she is!

After Hillary was out of the running, I was on the fence about whom I was going to vote for. I gotta say, I have listened to the speeches. McCain doesn't seem to know what he's talking about, unless it's about his time in the POW camps. And don't take that as an insult, I appreciate our Service Men and Women. But that doesn't mean they are all qualified to run our country. Then McCain took Palin with him, which lowered my opinion of him even more. Does he really think American Women will vote for him because he took a woman as V.P.? This woman is No Hillary by any means. She will not help with health care. If you watch her real close with McCain and her family, they all seem so uncomfortable with each other, which threw up more red flags! Now Obama doesn't seem to need a speech written for him. He just grabs the mike and starts talking. He even tells us what he's going to do, and more importantly, HOW he's going to do it. Plus, He and Biden seem very comfortable with each other and their families. I was not going to vote for Obama because I was mad he didn't take Hillary, but I can't let that fact get in the way of making a good choice. I would just tell anyone who's listening not to jump to any decisions to quickly, watch the candidates and go with your gut instinct, they are usually more correct than when we think with our heads.

And I think that about sums it up! I feel the same way, except I already knew I would vote for Obama!

Just so you know the real Palin she is......
Against teaching sex ed in public schools and only advocates abstenence (that went over well)
Pro Life entirely....no abortion even from rape or incest
Used her veto power to cut spending on unwed teen mothers (how ironic)
Voted to cut spending for special needs prior to her having a Down's Syndrome child (even more ironic)
Received money from pork funds but now wants to stop this kind of frivilous spending.
AND was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it and still received money allocated for the bridge to nowhere, but didn't spend it on that.
Oh, and did I mention she is opposed to stem cell research
Yeah, she's really an honest woman. She's a politician! And she's desperately on the attack to keep from having to answer any real questions. I'm really tired of attack campaigns and just want to hear a real plan. I've not heard a plan from the Republicans. No one is saying that Obama has more experience, but it was McCain himself that was running on a ticket of more experience, then he chooses her as his running mate??!! At least Obama selected someone who has foreign experience, fresh ideas, and doesn't eat MOOSE!
