Originally Posted By WorldDisney LOL, why does she keep going back to Katie Couric?? It hasnt exactly worked out well for her the first time around and the second time wasnt exactly inspiring either? I have to say though if anyone 'wins' in all of this, I hope its Katie Couric. She has been getting her OWN beating of not experienced enough, doubts, etc when she became the first female anchor, but with these interviews people seem to be giving her a new look as well . I think Katie will also be voting *Palin/McCain* this year as well lol.
Originally Posted By mawnck Katie's doing good, I have to admit. I'm impressed. I'm gonna guess that the series of interviews were already agreed to, and bailing on them would look worse than continuing them. Or so some think - not sure I agree.
Originally Posted By dshyates I don't know what would look worse, bailing on them or bringing adult supervision. Bringing Sen. Macain really is a phone a friend/ ask the audience type of lifeline.
Originally Posted By Mr X Did they pre-announce all of this? If so, they shouldn't have. Then they could've just pulled the plug after the trip to the Principals office and been done with it. The further adventures of Couric/Palin only gave us more of the same. I think they should hide her away again after Thursday. Perhaps up in Alaska somewhere.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I of course thought Palin did a decent job. She took a snarky comment made for the benefit of her hard core supporters and turned it around into complementing her opponent and pointing out the choice voters are being offered. WELL DONE!!
Originally Posted By Sport Goofy << pointing out the choice voters are being offered. >> Except the choice she offered seemed to favor the other vice presidential candidate, and if she was making the reverse argument it would favor Barack Obama. So, she really made no logical argument to make a choice for anything. It was really a dumb thing to say.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>It was really a dumb thing to say.<< And a weaselly thing to say. She fired off a zinger about Biden's age and many years in the senate (an odd thing to do when your running mate is even older), but then didn't have the courage to just say "Yeah, I said it." So, she goes into this weird gushing about Biden instead.

(and yes, I agree K2M, a proper response would be something along the lines of "McCain is a horse of a different color. He's such a gunslinging, change bearing maverick he personifies what Alaskans often say..you're only as old as you feel", or some such garbage) Amazing that she is now MOCKING experience. "Inexperience is fine in our case, but not theirs". "Being old is great for us, not for them". I just love these people. No shame.
