They both came out about the same. What of it? You act like he won in a landslide, but you are impartial after all. Still doesn't change the fact that Obama is very uncomfortable without a script. McCain can't use a sentence without using the words "my friends". It is what it is.

then why are more and more people in palin's own party skewering her for embarrassing moments in interviews such as this one?

and why hasn't anyone skewered Obama for this inhaler/breathalyzer gaffe? Here's what the conservative wsj had to say about it (pretty harsh, watch out):

Washington Wire - WSJ.com : Obama's Strategy to Pass Health Care: 'Whup Them'

Here's another highly unfair assessment of Palin's answer:

I didn't argue that she was some phenomenal interviewer. I think that question is ridiculously overblown. You don't think she knows the name of some freaking newspaper in Juno? It was a ridiculous question so I don't care if she didn't go out of her way to answer it well.

Because McCain (you know, the one that is most qualified in foreign policy) has referred to it as a country more than once during this campaign.

TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo | McCain Again Refers To Czechoslovakia, A Non-Existent Country

This is on the same level of idiocy with the Obama states gaffe, except McCain did it twice.

Lots of people couldn't tell if you if it's Slovakia, Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia or some combination. Everyone knows there are 50 states. Everyone.

So I guess the guy running for President that touts his national security credentials gets a pass? Twice?

If I were to accept that McCain doesn't know the current status of that country I'd also have to accept that Obama is a Muslim. I don't believe either.

Also, my main point was to counter you saying that confusing the number of states in America was the equivalent of confusing the name of a small country in Eastern Europe.

....and I don't believe Obama doesn't know there are 50 states. So we are all in agreement.

Edit: With the exception of VolDad, who is still harping the 57 states thing.

Did everybody know that there ARE 57 Muslim states....hummm. I am sure it was just a "slip" of the tongue.

So, are you willing to accept that Palin knows the name of a newspaper?

except that wasn't the question.

The question was what she reads. And according to her answer, apparently, it's "all of them." All 1,422 daily newspapers.

Don't you find it interesting that she can't come up with a better answer than this? If it doesn't matter, maybe she should've said that? Personally, I think it matters that our elected leaders do read a newspaper or magazine every once in awhile. Why didn't she just say TIME, Newsweek, or... PEOPLE?? She couldn't say anything. This woman is not too bright.

Because she appeared to be pissed that KC would ask such a question and where that would lead. Why would she ask that question? I cannot ever remember such "can you give me an example" to such inane questions of a politician before. What would the follow up be? Who is your favorite reporter and why. Then a follow up of "Did you know your favorite reporter believes this or that". It is an insulting stupid question.

Let me ask you this. Why have NO REPORTERS asked BO about his ACORN connection? Why does he get a pass on just about everything. Also why has there not been much made of all the dumb mistakes "I'll have another round" Biden made? Does it not bother you that he is such a dolt that he didnt even know who was President during the fall of wall street and that TV was not even around? Oh that's right he is a lib.
