She was awful. But I suppose her fans will makes more excuses and blame Charlie Gibson.
Gibson asked the questions she should already know the answers to, viewpoints that she should have already had long before being groomed by the McCain team. To suggest that Gibson was purposefully rude or condescending is absurd – he was easy on her. He asked questions that Americans want and need to know their public officials- especially the second in command- know before taking oath. Any frustration he might have experienced during this interview was because of her clear lack of familiarity with really important issues. She tried to evade the questions, which will unavoidably lead a journalist to keep trying to get an answer. that's what they do! She got defensive when he asked her if she had ever met a Head of State.
Was he supposed to ask her where she bought her shoes? Or “what’s it like to be a pistol-packin hockey mom?â€
Sarah Palin needs to learn the pronunciation of “nuclearâ€. I believe we have just witnessed "Apocalipstick Now". Sarah Palin came across as both clueless and arrogant. The party is over, the confetti is gone. Since she’s so adamant about being “ready†to help lead the country she needs to get real.

>>That's about par...liberals like to "feel good"...I'd prefer to elect someone with experience to run the country.<<
The silly way you stereotype people is quite telling.
I don't think we (liberals) can feel much worse than we have for the last 7 yrs. 9 months.
*** The silly way you stereotype people is quite telling.
Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.
*** By the way, if you want to “feel bad” that’s your prerogative. It’s your right to be miserable.
You might not have noticed that Republicans are quite jubilant lately, while Dems seem to be quite upset.
*** That aside, last time I checked there aren’t any candidates running who have experience running a country.
Unless you're an incumbent President seeking a second term, no one can have "Presidential" experience, so what we look for are the experience and qualities that a candidate possesses that will be needed by a President. McCain has that experience and those qualities...Obama does not.
*** I don't think we (liberals) can feel much worse than we have for the last 7 yrs. 9 months.
I know, you must have found it very distressing. I can only imagine how upsetting the failing Obama campaign must be for you. Actually, after reading the landslide of attacks on Palin, it is being easier to imagine.
*** No matter how much you wish for something, doesn't make it true.
But it's looking good for McCain/Palin and not-so-hot for Obiden. Maybe wishes do come true.
*** I will give you a pass. Your leaders have been less than truthful with the facts for 7 yrs. and 9 months.
You must be referring to the Bush administration, because you couldn't possibly be referring to "the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history.” ; )
*** So it is easy to understand that you don't know the truth when it's staring you in the face.
I guess denial is preferable to admitting that your dreams were slipping through your fingers...again.
"She may have mispronounced some words and was a little flustered on some things because she is a "small town" leader, but the fact is she is running for the number "2" position, not number"1"."
I don't understand. You seem to be saying that somehow she does not need to be qualified to be President. Is that your point?
Have you even googled Biden?????
Below are the committees he has been on - still think Palin could outshine him in an interview? He knows more about foreign policy than most and I don't think most republicans seriously doubt his qualifications. I sincerely doubt his party is preventing him from giving interviews, more likely because he has been around for awhile they are simply more interested in getting to know the unknown candidate.
