Is that a "pit bull" (staffy) as your avatar? GREAT!!

I can't believe most everyone missed the boat. She is following the greater "script", scheme of the ticket. Thus she can yap all she wants, as long as she follows the plan.

Paulin is only there as a foil -- a tool. She is scripted to the republican plan for McCain's election to the presidency. She creates the diversion that the media loves and sucks up, while McCain acts "the better man".

She is also designed to fool those idiots who don't think. And can't see through the charade that she presents as the "the mom".

So the "pig in lipstick" fits.

I don't think anyone has realized that the question contains double negatives so the question really is "Why does Sarah Palin not possess the ability to face the nation unscripted" or "Why is Sarah Palin able to face the nation unscripted" (which, as someone else noted, she did when the prompter malfunctioned at her acceptance speech). The answer? She is, like any good politician or motivational speaker, trained to think ahead.while she speaking, her brain is already analyzing what she is going to say next. Running for VP of the USA is no small feat. She, again like any of the other participants of election '08, knows what she says will be scrutinized closely and wants to speak clearly to be sure that anyone and everyone understands and her ideas are conveyed flawlessly.

I think she can. But the same question could be asked about Obama and Biden. I think McCain carries himself the best unscripted.

And I don't understand why she has been the first person for whom having a speech writer is a problem. Obama's most recent example of a speech writer is a cartoonist.

Sarah Palin has never been able to give a real smart interview this is why she always gets in trouble. She says everything wrong I'm guessing it's because she dosen't have a good memory and can't remember what she has to say. If people truly understood what her own position was on the issues im very confident people would not vote for her.

What are you talking about. She didn't do the interview with Gibson with a prompter or having a prerequisite of questions like Obama does.

He asked her about Bush items that she has nothing to do with.

She wants to make Georgia and Ukraine apart of the UN. Then was pretty much asked if a UN nation was attacked, she stated that all of the UN would be involved with keeping that nation safe.

She also talked about the Bush Policy which is preemptive strikes if we have proof of a nation willing to strike us. Well have you seen Bush strike a nation with missiles cause we feel they are going to attack us? No cause this isn't just a cowboy item.

91' Persian Gulf War

Treaty stated that Iraq must allow UN weapons inspectors in their country. He didn't in 98 so Clinton sent troops that briefly invaded and he didn't in 2003 so Bush went all the way this time. 3 strikes hes out.

When did you reach a point in your life when you stopped sucking your thumb, stopped wearing diapers, cooked your own meals, read a book that wasn't Sam I Am?

You libs kill me. 10 days out of the shoot and she hasn't parted the ocean, healed the planet, and played tunes on a flute that had all rodents marching into the sea.

My vote is based on what a person actually accomplished in their background that has some connective meaning in the whitehouse. WOW! I bet that just hit a nerve.

Well, they are all scripted to be honest. would you give a speech without preparing? of course not.

No, not Republican, but no need to bash on irrelevant things. Why not ask how bieng a mayor in alaska is enough to be a Vice President, or if they stand for family values she allowed her daughter to become pregnant and is now forcing the daughter into a marriage with a boy at 17? Its very ridicoulous and something for Maury, not the white house.

For those who say the family shouldnt be open, well the apple doesnt fall far from the tree for one, 2. She opened her life to the world when she agreed to run for VP. (Didnt she know what running for VP involved? oh wait...forgot she didnt even know what the job entailed.)

You could say the same thing about Obama. I'm a Democrat, but that guy can't talk without a teleprompter.

Nether can Obama; he totally panics when he is off script. Sure ive heard he writes his own scripts, but do we really want a President who thinks he is Jesus? Yep, "only Obama can change the future" What kind of "change" has he talked about?

Helping the guy who has enough money to buy Obama a beer, but not enough money to buy gas so he can get a job?

Why doesn't he help his half-brother in Africa who lives on $1.00 a month?

She feels she's not ready for that at this point, like I would feel I wasn't ready to give any speech without my notes.

I do believe her interview yesterday was unscripted. I didn't see her holding any notes.

Very few politicians speak without some sort of aid to help their memory. In this day you are held accountable for every little slip of the tongue, and bad news travels fast. They are covering their tracks and trying to avoid slips of the tongue.
