>Did you see where she came back with a list of USSC cases she didn't agree with? It was so obvious she was spitting back a memorized list. Just like the list of newspapers and magazines she "regularly reads"... Yeah. Watched it an hour ago. But Fox News thought it authentic.... -Z

>>> All she can do is memorize talking points. WTF do you think Obama does? Hell, he is even using a teleprompter for his stump speech now -- something I've never seen done by a presidential candidate, that I can recall. The only difference is that he has had 18 months to prepare while she has only had a couple. She is every bit as knowledgeable as he was 18 months ago. In addition, she has an understanding of how to negotiate which Obama totally doesn't have. This is likely a result of her experience as governor or even mayor. She is far more qualified to hold the office than Obama is. Perhaps she doesn't have the raw knowledge he has picked up over the last 18 months, but much more important is her actual experience in hiring, firing, making a budget, managing money and contracts, and any number of things that Obama has zero experience with. I might add that the items Palin has experience with that Obama doesn't have is a big deal. NOT EVERYONE CAN DO THESE THINGS SHE HAS PROVEN SHE CAN. Many, many very smart people are lousy negotiators and lack the skills to manage anything. Obama has not shown that he can do either. And what little information there is -- his remarks about sitting down without preconditions -- suggests that he would be an extremely naive negotiator.
