It's linked from the very page you posted:
Yes, but they're not framing it like you bots are - ie, not a gaffe, just not sure she's in agreement with it.

I hear the squealing already.

You can be sure, if she had made a major gaffe, it would be all over the cable news. So, far, pretty impressive.

She was confident, poised, knowledgeable, and at ease. The camera loves this woman.
I am trying to read all the posts first before responding to you, but I have to say this. The reason it is NOT all over the news is because both Obama and McCain have a truce. Wait until tomorrow.

Yes, the camera does like her (love is a bit strong) but this isn't America's Got Talent or a Miss Wasilla contest. How is she "knowledgeable?" She didn't even know that Fannie Mae is a privately held corporation. When our lives are at stake, we can't wait for her to be coached. I do not think she is stupid in any way, shape or form. But she is not ready to be Vice President. I can honestly say I was more impressed than I expected to be, but that's only because she's been held to a lower standard than the other candidates.

Now you get it! It's because she doesn't know what it is!

National Review? Ah, so that's where you get your news filter.

I have to give sanrene some credit. She is the only one of the regular right wing supporters that is willing to wade into this losing battle. I think we should all give her a round of applause.

Come on bots. You're trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. I know the obama campaign will be using this talking point tomorrow, because it's the only one they have from her interview.

But, really, you must watch the vid again, she's gives the answer, since the doctrine has morphed so many times.

Just admit it,... she screwed up.

If this were Obama, you would be all over it.

'Obama uses common pig with lipstick saying' = molehill

'Possible next Vice President of the United States does not understand current US foreign policy' = Mountain

Moose seems like it should be along the same catagory as shooting dogs, or maybe horses.
I hope McCain doesn't ever upset her... I hate to see him stuffed as a trophy in the White House

Try the link. You'll be amazed of what the "doctrine" is/was/has become.
