Did anyone else hear this winner use the word "un-sensical?"...(It's actually "nonsensical"); And, wow she really said: "You can't not allow..."

Why is this relevant? "Journalism" or something like that was her "MAJOR" in college...It was her FIELD OF STUDY and she cannot even speak correctly. Enough said. If she can't get that right, let's not even talk about her in one of the highest offices in government.

As Jack Cafferty once stated, "...If [the thought of her as VP] doesn't scare the hell out of you then it should."

Didn't catch that, but I have definitely heard Obama say all kinds of non-words.

That is true .
For a man who has not aceived a single thing .Come up with a Bill ,etc only gives speech after speech they certainly do adore him.

Palin who they mock has acheived much more as Mayor and Gvnr. I like Obama though no longer voting for him . He not the man they think he is.

Hillary Clinton was right about him "say anything to get elected and promise the world".

Some here love her. I don't see what she brings to the ticket .
I don't see what she brings to the ticket either. She certainly doesn't sound like a journalism major, and she didn't appear to have the same command of facts and policy one hears from most journalists when discussing issues either.

And the use of the word "there" after half of her sentences drives me nuts as well, ie: "up in Alaska there.(full stop)".....geez she sounds like a backwoods hick....

She is exacerbating her regionalisms with hopes of appearing as a "Joe Six-Pack." God forbid that she actually speaks English correctly. She'd probably lose half her support.

I agree. Her grammar was pretty embarrassing throughout the debate.

I have been wondering this morning why I bothered, in school, to listen to my teacher talk about standards in writing and speaking. I understand that many people are against intellectuals. I'm not sure I understand why. But as I have always valued striving to be more knowledgeable does that make me a bad person? What does it mean that so many "average" Americans think so?

That's not an argument, it is a logical fallacy. Yet another attempt to slander away from the content. Look, if you want to disagree with her position on something, knock yourself out, but this petty grammar attack BS is childish, ignorant, and to be honest, plain stupid.
