I don’t feel that the majority of the news media really speak for the average American. For you to say that Sarah Palin spoke to the average American is an insult. Sarah Palin, spoke as if people are stupid. I considered myself average, but if you are saying that you feel that Sarah Palin made me comfortable because she didn’t really know any facts, because she was really cute while she skirted around the majority of question; which is an improvement to the ramblings she has done in the past. Then I am definitely an above average American, because Sarah Palin did nothing for me. She did nothing for John McCain.

Politics aside ( or maybe not) Somewhat disturbing shot of Palin’s infant at end of debate - very very soundly asleep- is this normal? Do babies really sleep that deeply being passed around and in strange places? Maybe she is just very lucky? Maybe the baby has become a human accessory important for the image…???

Somewhat different from Hilary Clinton, who has substance, and has a family - without having to use family as the accessory for the debate

Are you kidding me? OK, first of all Chelsea Clinton received so much criticism for being funny looking as a kid that as heartless as I think Hillary Clinton is, she spared her daughter further humiliation by not bringing her into the public light.

Next, to consider family an accessory is a bit not-human, don’t you think. One could consider that in this day and age where every politician is criticized for just about everything, that Palin is simply showing people her life and what is in it. Yes, it is intentional. But we even criticize celebrities when they and their families are caught in picture unintentionally. Let’s not become like the media, shall we? Let’s simply look at the big picture and not judge every single little action of a person. If you do that, you will find that nobody in the entire world is really worth voting for, because we are all despicable in our own ways.

Oh…and Hillary being as a someone with substance. Yeah, that substance is called CRAP.

Sarah Palin just keeps avoiding questions and drawing away until she gets to a topic she is actually educated enough in to discuss. She seemed like she was just pulling ideas out of the air because she repetively contraticted her multiple redirected statements. For instance, she explains consistantly that she supports the funding of alternate fueling, but then she states that we should not drill for oil in other countries, but instead just drill Alaska dry. In a previous debate, Palin said that she would do whatever she could to isolate the drilling to Alaska, even if that means removing polar bears from the list of endangered species. She says what she thinks the working class of America wants to hear. I may be in High School, but I know when somebody is either unprepared, or just doesnt think things through.
