Scot Ashton: The Palin honeymoon is over. However, I think it is a great marriage for the USA. Biden did NOT win that debate--Palin held her own very well. Did you NOT see her body language when it came to foreign policy. She means what she says--and will NOT kiss the foot of terrorists- all of whom are applauding Obama. Farrakhan called him the "Messiah"! As far as racism is concerned, the Democrats have said :"they" said it and what not. NOT ONE Republican has been racist! However, the Dem are looking for words that could imply it. You know, the same Dems who are in the majority of Congress who sucks!

mary ann Hopkins: One day G-d will judge the media and we will see "mercy and truth kiss" until then we must humbly pray!

micavbattle in Alabama: McCain and Palin owe the American public an apology for allowing hecklers to holler kill him at a rally. There have been numerous presidents and leaders assasinated,John and Robert Kennedy,Abe Lincoln,Dr.King and the attempt on Reagans life just to name a few .It is dirty,dangerous politics and needs to be stopped immediately. It is a travisty. They owe Barack Obama and his family an apology and they need to be ashamed for allowing this type of terroistic politics to be practiced in their campaign. I am ashamed and I know that the Republican Party as well has to be emarassed.
