[quote=forrestlayne;3055382]I think Palin will hold her own. I think she is probably more nervous because of the way the media attacked her at the first.

I didn't see her attacked. What I saw was someone who the public nor the media knew her until a month ago. They asked questions about who and what she stood for and she made the gaffes that later fueled what I guess could be called attacked. I don't see a conspiracy of the "elite" media after Sarah Palin becaue they "hate Joe Six Pack" because they are angry because she is on the outside. Those are rediculous assertations and divide rather than unite and lowered her in my eyes.

I believe from what I have seen, if she was my next door neighbor, my six pack neighbor, and I asked her to tell me what she thought of the bail out or the Supreme Court decisions or even what what she reads, I know my neighbor would either have an answer that made sense or would say something to the effect of "I don't know, but I am going to learn". My neighbor is just an ordinary person not running for the VP slot. If my neighbor answered in the way Palin has, I wouldn't even have her as a friend much less someone to help run the country.

So, you could say that the interest in her and some or most of it is awful, she brought on herself and no "elite" media is playing "gotcha" with her.

I have wondered today as I watch the View's excerpts, do people who support McCain/Palin see what I see when they watch the interviews this woman is giving? Because what I hear Hasslebeck saying is "Look at Obama" or "she has more experience" but there is no proof anywhere that Sarah is showing that she has experience at even being Gov. much less to be VP and I am going by her answers to basic questions that my neighbor or my 18 year old son could answer.
