Interesting read.....skip past the pundits and read the comments from private citizens. Almost to a person they found Palin a disappointment. If this is a general reaction nationwide, we should see the polls continue to move against McCain during the coming days. Strange that the pundits seem to give her the benefit of the doubt...i found her very rehearsed and repetitious. Typical do loop of terrorists, islamic terrorists, evil, the grandiose bush has tried to rid the world of evil terrorists, ... and then the beauty of them all, foreign policy experience because alaska shares a border with russia....like I said, it is important for what it tells us of the republican nominee. It really depended on the background of the pundits. Most of the GOP pundits gave her a pass. Nonetheless, what I liked was the comments by the private citizens.....the ones who vote in great numbers. Even the conservative ones felt she blew it and not ready to be VP. I have a feeling voters are not going to let GOPers get by with their lies and half ass candidates. The GOP base may be energized by the Palin pick but so have the Dem and Independent bases........and they are larger than the GOP base.

Strange that the pundits seem to give her the benefit of the doubt...i found her very rehearsed and repetitious. The pundits realize that the one question she sort of stumbled on, the Bush Doctrine, was one in which the interviewer, not Palin, had wrong. If you don't know the history of it, you would assume from Gibson's remarks that Palin didn't know the meaning of the Bush Doctrine, when in fact, it was GIBSON who didn't know the meaning. The pundits rating her more favorably -- even extremely knowledgeable liberals like Michael Hanlon -- is a result of them understanding the Bush Doctrine whereas the common people like you and tejek don't have a clue about it.
