#1 Why haven't you gone after Obama for his involvement with Acorn?"

#2 Asked about Senator Lewis's comments about him and Palin sowing the seeds of Hatred and how he felt about them. Gave him a minute or so to talk about how sad the comments made him and to blast Obama for not repudiating the comments.

#3 Are the Democrats trying to paint you into a box and make it impossible for you to criticize Sen. Obama?

#4 How are you going to improve your poll numbers?

#5 Obama has lots of people working here? What are you going to do to win Florida?




I would say she is definitely giving McCain the softball questions and the Obama campaign the hardball questions.
NO, CAN'T BE! The media is SOFT on Obama/Biden, and hard on McCain!

Or could it be that McCain is simply inept. Hmmm...

Thanks for posting this. This woman is clearly not a journalist and should be fired. If she had asked both candidates ludicrous questions from the extremes of the opposing party, that's one thing. But to give McCain softball questions, and Biden those loony Karl Marx BS ones...

You are aware, aren't you, that this is just the tip of the iceberg?

In addition to the surrender of your First and Second Amendment rights, you will see the destruction of any public media that does not publish the propaganda that is in keeping with the government's view.

Bentlebee, regardless of who wins, I hope their respective health care plan allows for you to receive the mental health care you so desperately need.

I think Biden did an excellent job. The reporter got owned. I would expect McCain to do just the same in a similar situation.

Look for Barbara West to be sent to a political reeducation camp next year.

Real questions?

Only to the lunatic fringe.

Comparing apples to apples, how do you think Palin would do in a similar situation?

How would Palin do??? Are you kidding me? The question wouldn't even be asked to her because it doesn't apply!

What you should be asking yourself is....How does a candidate get themselves in that position to be asked those kind of questions in the first place???

You don't try a pass in the end zone to run up the score and risk an interception and run back by your enemies. Obama has a small lead in Florida and he should sit on it and not risk making a gaffe
