Palin Claimed Dinosaurs And People Coexisted

Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said.

Scary scary scary. I hope someone has the guts to grill her on TV about it.

I firmly believe that her 'faith position' should be no more off limits than her beliefs on tax policy or abortion. The electorate are absolutely entitled to judge her on something like this.

Not sure why I should go to th etrouble of elaborating for you, but I will just for the hell of it. The support for the McCain/Palin ticket has me completely disheartened. How can people truly support a candidate who wants to continue clearly failed policies, has run the dirtiest campaign I think I've ever seen, and selected a VP candidate who's dangerously unqualified?

See. I'm not as worried about the stories that other people are saying.

It's the shit these two are saying themselves.

Even together - they stink.



"gotcha" journalism - wtf are they talking about.

These are serious times - serious issues - and serious questions need to be asked. Palin and McCain sound like Fox News hosts - instead of individuals who are actually offering up some solutions and/or ideas.

We're starting to trip over that bar of standards if this is how pathetic they're going to be.

Knew the attitude'd come out, mwrhrarrr(sp?).

You sound like me last election. uh-oh.

So back to Palin - what stunt are we expecting from McCain in the next 24-48 hours in order to "manage the news" post-Palin debate?

Could he suspend his campaign a second time?

[cacophony]

they've established the phrase "gotcha journalism" so they'll be exploiting that and running it into the ground post-debate. any tough questions will be "gotchas" and anything biden lobs at her will be "gotchas."

[Sean]

McCain's campaign has also been stressing how low the bar of expectation has been set for Palin by the "liberal elite media" so that now, if she shows she can do slightly better than a functionally retarded person, she'll have done a "super" job. I don't mean to be non-pc with that statement, but it's really the clearest way to make the point.

They'll also surely pounce on this story about how Thursday's VP debate moderator is scheduled to release a book about the rise of blacks in today's political world - a book with a pro-Obama slant to it.

And here's a little of what to expect from Palin tomorrow, too.

[Deckard]

Former State legislator Andrew Halcro, 44, who took part in a handful of debates with Palin during Alaska's 2006 gubernatorial race:

"The one thing I found during the [2006] debates was no matter how knowledgeable her opponents were on the issues, it didn't matter. She has an amazing ability to turn a 45 second answer into a folksy story... she's never been forced to know the issues."

Oh dear.

Been here before, haven't we?

They were prepping her with mock debates at one of McCain's 11 houses, and she reportedly failed in those. I don't think she's going to get away with folksy stories about national issues.
