She surely trying to sidestep the question on what decision she didnt like and since she explained early on her stand on that.....it was an obvious answer to give !

were we watching the same thing?? Everyone has their own opinion. That said, even the most noted and respected Republicans were scratching their heads while their jaws hit the ground. I guess you cant find no fault if you dont answer the question, or better yet answer with a question. Very funny how she boost Alaska and Wasilla and the rest of the country dont do things like she does in Alaska, and how she battles The Big Oil Companies, but yet couldnt remember the Supreme Court Hearing Exxon Shipping Co. V. Grant Baker,, or Alaska V. S.E. ALaska Conservation or maybe Coeur Alaska Inc. V. S.E. Alaska Conservation. You talk about Joe Six Pack and how he does things in Wasilla But cant remember what the Supreme Court is Debating pertaining to your own state.. Things that make you say HHHUUUMMMM

I'm so tired of her little winks and poor grammer. She's an educated woman and should speak and behave like one. Her looks and cute little ways will not cut it with foreign dignitaries. As it is now, she's behaving like an aged beauty queen, not someone who might be required to lead a nation.

I almost forgot this One,,, Alaska V. United States of America Jan 10, 2005 Funny how things slip the mind...

Why is it not a surprise that a governor doesn't know the case titles or legal cites to appellate actions? Most of the people on this board who have been taking intense positions on the bailout bill have no idea what the bill is titled, its Congressional number or where to find official information as to its content - yet they are vehement as to a position on it.

All of the legal niceties, summaries, arguments and counter-arguments are the turf of the State's Attorney General who is supposed to be the state's legal advisor to the governor.

Steve, None of us think we know everything. I do know that if she has to meet with Putin for some hard line negotiations, her coy winking and folksy
manner will not carry the day. This is a nightmare.

I truly respect your position, I sincerely do. BUT why dont you find the following a nightmare...

.....the beginning of socialized medicine
.....negotiating at the highest level with terrorists and terrost countries (verified on factcheck that Sen Obama has advocated that)
.....An armed national police with as much funding as the current military
.....a Radical left wing liberal in the WH with a liberal left wing congress for at least two years doing whatever they want.

Will stop with JUST those facts....and then add Sen Biden who is infamous for his serious gaffes with facts and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time....you prefer him negotiating.

I understand your concern...I have it also, but it is not simply with ONE SINGLE CANDIDATE !

I apologize for my laziness, but I just placed the following on another string. It just seemed appropriate here.

One of the worst public speakers I ever knew was a French engineer/businessman. He would stumble over his notes, mispronounce names brutally and always looked like he was in total fear of the audience. however, behind closed doors he was without doubt the best negotiator I ever met, and rarely came away from the table (no matter how many parties were involved in the negotiation) other than with total success. Most people grossly underestimated him, and he took total advantage of their error.

This gentleman taught me a LOT many years ago (especially on how to turn perceived disadvantage into great advantage) and I will be forever in his debt. Many others are quite skilled at the technique of taking other's negative perceptions and reversing the tables. Gov. Palin seems to have mastered this skill, based on her track record versus her public persona.

Impressive,, dont think i can touch that.......
