"She definitely is more worldly than Barack Obama" How is that?

She definitely is more worldly than Barack Obama who had zero post-adolescent travel before being elected Senator, and very little after. In reality, Obama's only "worldly" experience is his European tour. This is the woman who marveled at being in another part of the country during her trip to Pennsylvania and who left the US what, once? and has said that she has not focused on the war in iraq...the most debated national issue in the last 6 years? Comparing her to a man on the national scene for the last two years, with every fucking reporter in the country asking him questions about any topic at all? Give me a break....mental case. Al

Sarah Palin will be missing from action Sunday a.m. As is The Ticket's custom, a post listing the entire roster of appearances on this Sunday's interview programs will pop up Saturday at noon PDT (3 p.m. EDT). But here's an advance heads up, in part because of who WON'T be found on any of the chat shows. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin campaigning with the top of the Republican ticket, John McCain Three of the four now-official candidates on the major-party presidential tickets are scheduled to sit down for questions: Democrat Barack Obama on ABC's "This Week," his running mate, Joe Biden, on NBC's "Meet the Press" and Republican John McCain on CBS' "Face the Nation." Absent from this list, of course, is the GOP's star of the moment, the not-so-long-ago obscure governor of Alaska who is McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin. Since she was thrust onto the national stage a week ago, her appearances on it have been tightly regulated by the McCain campaign: a few side-by-side campaign stops with him and, of course, her big speech to the GOP's convention Wednesday night. Today, top McCain aide Rick Davis indicated the campaign isn't in any hurry to slot Palin for a Sunday show appearance -- and will do so only if he and other strategists determine it serves the ticket's purposes, not because some may view it as a required initiation for a major political player. Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show, Davis said, "I'd never commit to anything in the future. ... Our strategy is in our hands, not the media's. We're going to do what's in our best interests to try to win the election. If we think going on TV news shows are [sic] in our best interests, we'll do it. If we don't, we won't." Palin still will be busy this weekend. She'll campaign Saturday with McCain in three key states -- Indiana, Colorado and New Mexico -- and she'll deliver his campaign's weekly radio address. That's one of those trappings of the presidency McCain has borrowed (notwithstanding the barbs his forces like to sling at Obama along these lines). -- Don Frederick

A women who went to 5 mediocre schools in 6 years and who doesn't know squat about the country let alone the world. I don't think so. 1. She definitely is more worldly than Barack Obama who had zero post-adolescent travel before being elected Senator, and very little after. In reality, Obama's only "worldly" experience is his European tour. Why is she more worldly? Because Wasilla exports meth to people outside the country? You are FOS. 2. I could give a shit about how many schools she went to and I would prefer a person educated just damned near anywhere over one from Harvard who has been subjected to the influence by the extremism you can get only in the Ivy-league. I see. Quality doesn't matter to you; quantity does. If Obama had gone to 7 schools would you like him better?
