1. I doubt we’ll even have that (the leader with a fancy hairdo).

   Picking Sarah Palin was, without a doubt, the worst mistake of McCain’s campaign. She gave him a short boost, until people actually listened to her and realized how utterly awful she would be.

2. Senator John Mc Cain addressed the audience all the time with “my friends", but one time refers to Senator Barack Obama as “that one".
   Sarah Palin? What is her priority in life, her political career or her children? Having more children doesn’t make you a good mother. Raising the children does.

4. Your article is very biased in trying to influence the American voters. I saw numerous statements of concern.
   Gov. Palin appeared very prepared during the debate & did a great job. She did not appear nervous to me, but should have been after the treatment she has received from people like you.
   Speaking of mistakes what "extra Y" ending are you speaking about as there aren’t any Y’s in Taliban.
   Sen. Biden made approximately fourteen mistakes during the debate compared to two by Gov. Palin.
   Who is telling Gov. Palin to read history for the last 700 years? Recently Sen. Biden stated that Pres. Roosevelt
   had gone on national TV to discuss the Great Depression with the people in 1929. Pres. Roosevelt did not become President until 1933.
   Yes, I do not think Sen. Obama does not have the experience to lead our Nation & the thought is scary
   for our National security. Technically, Sen. Obama became a Senator Nov., 2004.
   You are being very tacky about Sen. McCain being a Maverick which means he thinks for himself.
   Please don’t worry about Gov. Palin’s hairdo or motherhood. Gov. Palin has already explained how her children have been raised & will continue to do the same, but apparently you weren’t listening. If you think Gov. Palin sounds coach - here’s a tip - listen to Sen. Obama.

5. I was planning on voting for McCain because I believed in most of his plans for our Great Country. But, after that debate, I don’t even know if I will vote. He seemed angry and reminded me of my father when he was approaching senility. I don’t believe he was very nice in his referenced to Obama as, "That One". Or that one about "on the job training.

6. Linda, I appreciate your opinion but the truth of the matter is we aren’t supposed to be counting how many mistakes a candidate made or who became what when. Unfortunately Palin stated in one of her sentences that she was not as experienced as Biden, which to me was the worst thing she could do.

   The entire debate I listened to her answers to the questions being asked and they were ALL very evasive. She never pin pointed how she would at the very least "tackle" the situation.

   I put my trust in Biden because he backed up the Clinton administration when Bill was president. He knows how to handle the economy and I’m sure that one thing we can agree on is that that particular administration was the best one that this country has ever had. While he was president, the economy was at its best peak. The fact that Obama now has one of those people backing him up gives me the confidence that they will be doing at the very least some kind of change to boost our economy.

   As for Palin, I still have yet to see where her experience as a mayor or govenor will benefit our country.

7. Although the website does a poor job of indicating it, this article is supposed to be an opinion piece (according to the print edition). Thus, it’s okay that the writer is biased.

11. Actually, Linda, Obama was sworn into office in January, 2005.

    And anyone who thinks Obama is not qualified, but that Sarah Palin is, has got to lay off the ganja.

12. Don’t blame me for that logic...

13. The writer probably isn’t even registered to vote. Pathetic article. Like shooting fish in barrel b/c she knows most dumb, poor college kids are for Obama "b/c he wants to change stuff" what kind of stuff? "stuff that needs to be changed. his face looks cool spray painted, too"

    not a sheep | 2008-10-13 - 10:35:38 PM (CDT)

14. Actually, the writer is. What needs to be changed? Torture, the Iraq War, energy policy, to names three kind of big things.

    I have a feeling most "Dumb, poor college kids" will be on the right side of history on November 4th, and the McCain/Palin farce will go down in history as a monumental failure.

    Not the writer | 2008-10-13 - 12:19:16 AM (CDT)

15. Does experience really matter anymore, at this point, when our most "experienced" leaders on Wall Street have plunged us into another near-Depression, or when our strongest "leader" i.e. Bush, has an overall satisfaction rating of 22 % nationwide? Is it not time for some change?

16. In response to:
    "I have a feeling most "Dumb, poor college kids" will be on the right side of history on November 4th, and the McCain/Palin farce will go down in history as a monumental failure."

    Actually, there are many college students who are planning to vote for McCain next Tuesday, myself and most of my friends and family included. To make such a generalized statement that all students are liberal democrats is ignorant and stereotypical.

    And, I think that it would be nice for Tiger Weekly to run an article written by a more conservative journalist to contrast with Kathleen’s viewpoints.

17. Is there anyone at TW who is conservative?

18. "Your article is very biased in trying to influence the American voters. I saw numerous statements of concern.
    Gov. Palin appeared very prepared during the debate & did a great job."

    Let me make one thing clear, you are an IDIOT! Now that that is out of the way, let me go on...

    Governor Palin WAS prepared- For about 4 questions. Which she routinely went back to. In her words "I’m not going to answer the questions Joe and the moderator have for me". So yes she was prepared, to be completelyt evasive. She had the answers to a few select topics, and only wanted to stick with those topics.

    While others thought it was cute that she was standing up the the moderator, I thought it was one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. There is a reason the moderator asks questions, to make sure that a broad range of topics are discussed. Which she couldn’t do if she had a friggin ear peice in her ear.

    She has experience on stage, which is why I also do not think she appeared "nervous". Just because someone can speak confidently, does not mean that they are doing a good job. Comming across as confident while speaking of the same thing for an hour and a half is not trait worthy of the vice presidency.

    And now shes going rouge. What a disastrously horrible job of the republican party. GREAT job there -thumbs up-

19. and WHO CARES who is what at tiger weekly. I mean dang. The news stories are un-biased and that is all that matters. OPINION peices are meant to express OPINIONS.

20. "Is there anyone at TW who is conservative?"

    After this election, we may be asking the same thing about America.
