Regrets?
Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin during the segment of his interview with the AK governor that aired a few moments ago on ABC News if she believes Barack Obama should've selected Hillary Clinton as his running mate.
"I think he's regretting not picking her now, I do," Palin said. "What determination and grit and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way. She handled those well."
The quest to swing those HRC voters continues ...








Only if Clinton voters are really THAT stupid, and no doubt some are.
The interview was ridiculous. And I am disgusted at professional political newscasters, and especially CNN, for saying they think Palin did "OK".
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?? This isn't AMerican Idol or Miss AMerica! This woman knows NOTHING but how to LIE! Every media outlet who has a moron reporter say that ANYTHING was "OK" about her interview should FIRE EVERYONE.
SHAME!
I will second that, Gia. I keep thinking while watching the news that I must have gone through the looking glass.
As a woman and as an American, I thought she was a complete embarassment. I mean, the woman nauseates me, but I actually felt sorry for her until I realized the media was going to give her almost a complete pass.
Foreign heads of state must be rolling on the floor laughing.
Women of America, WAKE THE HECK UP!

Does she not realize that if Hilary was chosen as Sen. Obama's running mate, she would have never had that interview? The McCain campaign would have never picked Palin, if there was not an opportunity to pick up some Clinton supporters. It is laughable to hear the talking heads in the Republican party say that this was a choise to strengthen their ticket. She was a choise to desperatly grab at a specific demographic, nothing more. She looks like middle america, she is something different from the republican party, and it is no wonder that she has got the media coverage that she has, but when it comes down to it, she is Charelton Heston and Jerry Falwell in a pair of horned rimmed glasses. Your Country has had enough of the "God's will with a big gun" policies both foreign and domestic. As a Canadian, I ask that the American people do themselves and the rest of the world a favour and elect Sen. Obama.
p.s. A little bit a socialism never hurt anyone...universal health care is a good thing, and you are not a communist if you think so ;)

What is wrong with you people? What is wrong with CNN when you proclaim this woman(Palin)as some sort of blessing to the world? Don't tell me you care about this country when you are so easily hoodwinked by this woman's theatrical performance to draw attention to McCain's boring campaign of zero substance. Who in their right mind would want this woman to be President of this great country? She's a big zero and soon her bubble will burst when you finally wake up .
LeeAnne
McCain camp had turned this poor woman into his Stepford VP. No wonder she repeats her speech over and over again. She looked so programmed whenever she delivered her answers to Charles Gibson. She didn't blink when she was offered a VP, she winked at him instead.

He should have picked Hillary. Not picking her shows his poor judgement and lack of backbone.
Duane
He should have picked Hilary. Not picking her showed very poor judgement.
No Sarah. You see, Obama picked his VP based on his ability to succeed to the presidency, not to appeal to a demographic.
John McCain has done a great disservice to our country. In order to win the presidency, he (at his age) has selected this "not qualified" woman to step in should anything happen to him. Our country deserves so much better, and I think that ever decent Republican that loves this country too, should rebel and vote for Obama. Each one of them that gets up and raves about her greatness is lieing because they know nothing about her. I once had respect for Huckabee, Thompson, and Guliante (don't know how to spell)but the lies are too much.
I respect Hillary and think that she would have made a good president or vice president, but the decision made was Obama's choice. And too, the White House could have become a little crowded with 2 administrations. This is his time and his presidency, and at least it shows that he does know how to pick someone who is capable to govern this country if needed.
Gia This one's for YOU.
YES, some of us Hillary supporters are THAT stupid as we refuse to vote for Obama due to his nasty followers such as yourself.
Mia- So you are going to vote for the President of the U.S. in such troubled times as these, based on what someone blogs that you don't like. It is precisely people like you who get someone like G.W.Bush elected.
Call me stupid too.
Call me stupid too.
I can't wait for Joe Biden to eat her alive, subtly with a smile!
"Joe Biden said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton “might have been a better pick than me” to be Barack Obama’s running mate"(Fox news,CNN)
Yeah Biden is bad. I’m sure Palin is shaking by now LOL
I believe that something a lot of people are missing is this...
Obama couldn't just "pick" Hillary. No one gets picked without first going through what is called a "Vetting" process. That is essentially a digging up of any dirt, discrepancies, etc. in the potential candidate's background (including their spouse). The Clinton's did not want to participate in that process.
Do a little homework, people.
Not to mention...
How much respect would ANY of you actually have for Hillary if she gracefully accepted the position of #2 to a man she spent months saying was "Not ready to be president on day 1"?
I swear the ignorance of the citizens of this country never ceases to amaze me.
(That's a bad thing, by the way)
He is NOT ready.
I would have the same amount of respect for Hillary had she accepted the # 2. She knew very well he was not ready, he knows it, and so do we. Soon you'll too.
I swear the ignorance of the citizens of this country never ceases to amaze me. I could not have said it better myself.
This woman has a lot of nerve even talking about Hillary, she was picked for one reason only, to try and appeal to women that voted for Hillary.
I wonder how that feels when she thinks about it?
The media has made her a big news story just like they did Obama in the beginning.
It is unfortunate that the American people fall for this.
As for Hillary not being picked, maybe she said no, Why would she want to play second fiddle to someone?
She is more than qualified to be president, this was obvious in the states she kept winning in the weeks leading up to her being forced out.
Palin will never be Hillary Clinton.
She fits right in with the republican liars and slanderers.
I will vote for Obama/Biden because of the issues our country faces at this time.
The Republicans will do nothing for gas prices, lost homes, health insurance or the war in Irac.
If we put MCcain in there we will not be able to afford to put our kids through college.
Every kid deserves an education, under Bush he has ruined that for our nations young people!
So I guess if you have done well the last 8 years then vote republican.
I will be voting for the change this country desperately needs! OBAMA/BIDEN.
Duane (you are an IDIOT). The average American is so freakin DUMB! I'm a democrat and I make over $300k p/yr. so honestly McCain will help me more financially (but that's being extremely greedy). I will vote for Obama. If McSame wins - I will laugh at the poor who voted for him. That might be hard to do b/c McCain supporters don't exactly admit to it.
How does a woman live with herself KNOWING that she's being used?
Darlene Primus: How does a woman live with herself knowing she is being used? Yeah it must absolutely be horrible to be nominated to be the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States. Just think how horrible that will look on her résumé! I mean jeez how will she get a job as an assistant manager of a paper factory or something important like that after this? I bet her chances of working at a prestigious job like...what do you do Darlene Primus? Your not a Vice Presidential candidate by chance are you?
Liberals...you need to worry more about convincing people that Obama has the right plan for America. Questioning the VP candidate to death...will lose you the election. Already you have people comparing Obama to Palin. Do you realize how disasterous that is for the Democrats? Especially w/o a slam dunk win? People are ACTUALLY debating if Obama has more or less experience than Palin!!! DISASTER. They are discussing the differences in their experience in months of time served. MONTHS. DISASTER.
Ignore Palin.
Avoid the experience conversations entirely.
Stop with all the hatred.
As an interested European I am amazed at the circus that is being played out in so-called American elections. Palin is not running for President, McCain is. And if the Republicans had thought for one minute that he might drop dead, he wouldn't be their nominee. Obama needs a no. 2 for experience, McCain has a no. 2 who will quickly learn what she has to. I'd prefer a no. 2 that has to make up on some experience (although she already has more than Obama), than a no. 1 who has to rely on his no. 2 to make the right decisions for him.
Biden seems to have been easily imPalin'd!
Good luck from 'Old Europe'!
John McCain and Sarah Palin will say anything to get elected. I sure dont trust them to lead the country with integrity if they're elected! Palin lied about the bridge to nowhere; about traveling to Iraq and Ireland; about selling the plane on E-Bay; about whether she believes the Iraq war is God's will, and McCain lied about her qualifications. She is a flash in the pan!
Senator Joe Biden is a strong, VP running mate who brings experience, integrity and incredible foreign policy expertise to the table! Sarah Palin is no match for Joe, not even close!
I have one question that needs to be answer.
If Hilary support are voting for McCain in Nov. (She supports Obama) because she didn't get pick. Nine time out of ten She's going to get some kinde of good Job when Obama get's elected. If he don't get elected I guess she goes back to the senate. Why are her supports mad at Obama. That don't make since to me. If you are bdhind one person. You are behind them right. Can someone answer this for me I don't get it. They are cutting off the hand that feed sort of!!1

This election is not about who we like, or who we want to have a beer with. It is not about race, gender, or age. It is about voting for the person whose position we most agree with. Stop trying to know these candidates because we will never know them on a personal level. Heck, most people do not even know the person they are sleeping next to. Stop the Nonsense!!!

Biden will come through. I have faith in him. But, doesn't seem strange to all of you out there that if the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate is as commanding, experienced, and 'tuff'as they say, why has she been tucked away and only allowed restricted access to the media? Obama has been on the hotseat since his keynote address over four years ago! He through his hat in the ring and has withstood incredible attacks, and managed a nomination winning campaign! Palin was pulled out of a hat, expressed no interest in public office, and then is sealed behind a Republican wall lest she be attacked unfairly by the liberal press. You don't have to be a liberal to read the cynical political calculations of McCain. He is so desperate, he is willing to risk our country on his own politcal future. This is service? This is judgement? Sorry, John. It's time to retire.
