Let me put another side here -- did you know that when Palin was interviewed by Charles Gibson - she was asked foreign affair questions, economic questions. When Obama was interviewed he was asked about his family, his childhood -- NO foreign affairs questions, no grilling at all. Now which was is actually running for the Presidency?

She's been on Fox as well. So where is the hiding? I haven't seen Biden being grilled.

Let's see Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, and that was all the experience he had. Palin who ISN'T running for President is governor of Alaska. So why is she inexperienced? Obama has been a senator for 3 years - no mayorial or governor experience. Palins (VICE president) has been governor for over 2 years - with experience running a billion dollar budget.

Once again -- I don't like the name calling. I resent terribly when people suggest if I don't vote for Obama I'm a racist. And that's everywhere you look. If he loses it's because ALL Republicans are racist! that's insulting. I won't vote for him because I don't agree with his policies.

If Condaleeza Rice ran for President would you vote for her? Why not - she's a woman, she's black -- you must be a racist. Does it even make sense that arguement?? Wouldn't you be furious to be accused of something like that. It's wrong to vote for someone just because they are white OR black OR a woman. You must vote for the person that has the ideals you have - that has the policies you can agree with (or most policies you can agree with).

NEVER vote because a celebrity says you should or the media says you will be a racist if you don't. Vote because you are informed.

And I don't care who you vote for -- just do it for the right reason. And don't go down to the levels of the people who accuse Palin of not having good prenatal care and that's why her child has Down's Syndrome! (yes I read that on a noted media journalist's blog!) Once again that's just cruel and insulting.

Be educated and be passionate, but don't be mean.
