If Biden/Obama/McCain makes a mistake, it becomes one appearance in dozens (or more). If the overwhelming majority of what they say is on target (or at least coherent), then we can discount the less successful comments as being "off day" things.<BR/><BR/>Palin has been allowed so few public appearances that everything she says is put under a microscope. Rightly so - it is unfair to cry foul for undue media scrutiny if she's kept under lock and key and restricted to mostly photo ops. People can and should judge her based on what she says, just as they do the other candidates.<BR/><BR/>But, if all we have to go on is a small number of interviews (I can count only three since her nomination), then it becomes one "off day" out of three.<BR/><BR/>Or, by my count, three out of three.peitricia maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078280120045810787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739498627453680997.post-90717067418921715902008-09-29T09:45:00.000-06:002008-09-29T09:45:00.000-06:00Oh, I know without a doubt that Obama and McCain h...Oh, I know without a doubt that Obama and McCain have often misspoke when answering questions. I’m not really faulting either one of them for that. In fact, I’m so aware of this fact that I posted Biden misspeaking in a HUGE way! All the candidates do it, because they’re being scrutinized 24/7.<BR/><BR/>BUT, Sarah Palin is not misspeaking. It’s not about a “woah, that came out wrong, let me rephrase that!” with her. She was given a SECOND CHANCE (something that Obama and McCain are rarely given) to explain herself and instead of saying, “Yeah, that WAS a dumb answer, and what I REALLY meant to say was…”, she simply reiterated her point! She never thought she misspoke! Not only did she validate her view that living next to Russia and Canada gave her foreign policy experience, she even added the part about “Russian aircraft”. Oh my word! She’s not a “good politician who misspoke” (which is a class I would even put McCain in, btw. I don’t agree with his policies, but that doesn’t mean he’s inexperienced and/or “bad” at his job), she’s a political nutcase!<BR/><BR/>(PS: For those of you reading the comments on my blog, I would just like to point out that my “conversations” with Bill are a prime example of how two people can disagree, discuss the issues with civility, and remain really good friends. We’re poster children, Bill! :-))Chrystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118618150849382066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739498627453680997.post-30435350509478946772008-09-29T08:42:00.000-06:002008-09-29T08:42:00.000-06:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEIzEfm6N6Qpunished...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEIzEfm6N6Q<BR/><BR/>punished with a baby????<BR/>that didn't come out right.... haha<BR/><BR/>I wonder if Barak has ever mispoke or answered poorly in an interview and the media decided NOT to air it...<BR/>hmmm, surely not....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
