Most of the questions she could not answer but she addressed the question with a yes but let me tell you what I do know. Great sales job and sales 101 give a lot of information that says nothing it is a sales tactic that has worked for hundreds of years.
Sadly...most successful politicians in this country are nothing more than salesmen.
Whats even worse is....that is good enough for the majority of Americans...
I didn't intend to be chastising you for using the English language the way it is constructed. It is built into the language to refer to things that are not known to be absolutely female as if the actors are male. (On the other hand, even many things known to not be female get tagged as if they were, like ships and storms and countries. English is, contrary to the wishes and practice of far too many "wanna be" latin scholars, a Germanic language and nouns, sometimes altered by the particular usage, have gender.)
Thus, in spite of the ignorance of various attorneys, particular some on the Supreme Court, the statement that "all men are created equal" does not leave out women.

UPDATE: 9/12 This is a comment I read on CBS News under the article: What Does a Woman Bring To A Ticket?
Here is what the Rev. Kalnins has taught her and what she repeats.
She says terrorism against Jews is part of God’s plan because they refuse to accept Jesus as their savior; that the Palestinians killing Jews is part of God’s plan.
She asks her congregation to “pray for the oil pipeline.”
She says Alaska has a special place in God’s plan to save it during the “End Times.”
She used State fund to transport kids during church outing;
She says the war in Iraq is part of “God’s plan.”
She says gay people can be converted and become straight;
She has said when the spirit moves her, she “speaks in tongues.” (I bet.. Satanic tongue?)
She believes in “faith healing.”
She tried to ban book in her local library. (Disputed)
These are just a few of her extreme statements.
Is she a nut-job, or what?
You can find all this for yourself, just Google: Palin’s Church - Ed Kalnins- and don’t fail to see Brickner & Jews for Jesus.

Worth repeating. She is a total wacko
Sarah Palin is receiving a highly partisan reception on the national political stage, with significant public doubts about her readiness to serve as president, yet majority approval of both her selection by John McCain and her willingness to join the Republican ticket.
Given the sharp political divisions she inspires, Palin’s initial impact on vote preferences and on views of McCain looks like a wash, and, contrary to some prognostication, she does not draw disproportionate support from women. ABC NEWS

According to the latest polls in Ohio, McCain/Palin is now up 51-44 over Osama Obama. That's because normal people with midwestern values like someone who talks straight and has conservative values (like Palin). I know the left doesn't understand that, but those are the facts.
The left should be asking itself, once again, why they are losing an election that should have been a gimme!

It's because the republican convention was last and nothing more. It is the normal effect that happens every 4 years

Who is the real Republican Presidential candidate?
Who really is the Republican candidate for President is the question I keep asking myself? It used to be John McCain but ever since his VP announcement that seems to have changed.
McCain's whole line about "experience" is dead in the water. Why? Because according to his views Sarah Palin is more experienced than John. Every republican talking lips surrogate parrots the Sarah has experience line. Well, John has never been a Mayor or a Governor or even a city council member. He's never run a business. So where is John's experience? As a commander of a training squadron eons ago in the Navy? Laughable.
Previous to his VP choice, McCain could barely garner 200 people to show up at his rallies. He railed against Barack Obama as a "rock star". So who's the rock star now? Sarah Palin, that's who.
The problem with Palin is that her rock star status comes with an empty skirt. Her speeches are canned and a LYING repeat of her crude remarks at the RNC convention. She never sold a plane on ebay. She sold it through an aviation broker to a crony at a loss. She never fired that chef. She reassigned her so that she now cooks those marvelous meals for Alaska legislators. She never told the Congress "thanks but no thanks" for the money for the bridge to nowhere. In fact, she kept that $224 million and used it elsewhere building access roads to where the bridge might have been but what is now an empty beach.
John McCain now stands at his rallies appearing to be little more than a tired old man being propped up by a right wing cheerleader. Without Palin, McCain couldn't get more than a subdued lackluster applause. But now the applause is all for Palin for simply being a risky pick. She's yet to espouse anything original.
McCain has even dropped his townhall style rallies. Today in Lancaster, PA., his campaign organizers decided that NO QUESTIONS would be asked by the audience. No more townhall style. So it becomes nothing more than one more lecture complete with the LIES. Gosh, what are they afraid of?
John McCain is no longer running for president. He's running as an apsotrophe to Sarah Palin.

where do you get your news? cuz it always seems like you have generic claims that don't "match up"
Ohio Poll Released by Quinnipiac University Poll: Barack Obama 49%, John McCain 44%
Washington D.C. 9/13/2008 09:35 AM GMT (FINDITT)
Here are the latest results from the Ohio poll by Quinnipiac University Poll published on USAElectionPolls.com:
There were 1367 voters polled on 9/5-9.
Eric W. Rademacher, The Ohio Poll’s Co-Director, said, “Both campaigns have many hours of work ahead if they want to secure a path to the presidency through Ohio.” Two findings of the Poll suggest the presidential race in Ohio may have a long way to go:
First, a large portion of likely voters (23%) may still be “up for grabs”: nineteen percent say they might change their mind and switch candidates before Election Day, and four percent are undecided as to which candidate they will choose.
Second, more Democrats than Republicans currently express intent to cross party lines on November 4. While 11 percent of Democratic likely voters currently say they will vote for McCain, just five percent of Republican likely voters currently intend to vote for Obama. While this bears watching, early partisan “defectors” often “come home” to support their party’s candidate by Election Day.

ahh, here it is, a Fox "News" poll... that makes sense, they probably poll from their mailing list, LOL...
if they do a "text message" poll? Obama would probably win that one 75-25:
#
Ohio: This state is shaping up to be one of the tightest contests. An Ohio Poll by the University of Cincinnati, conducted Sept. 5-10, has McCain ahead of Obama by 48 percent to 44 percent among likely voters with 5 percent preferring some other candidate and 4 percent undecided. The margin of error is 3.5 percent. Poll co-director Eric Rademacher says the race in Ohio "has a long way to go" because as many as 23 percent of voters may still be up for grabs and more Democrats than Republicans say, at the moment, they will cross party lines to vote for the other candidate. An InsiderAdvantage poll conducted Sept. 10 has McCain statistically tied with Obama at 48 percent to 47 percent with 2 percent choosing "other" and 3 percent undecided in The margin of error is 4.3 percent. That contrasts to a Fox News/Rasmussen Reports survey conducted Sept. 7 putting McCain ahead 51 percent to 44 percent with 1 percent for Ralph Nader and 3 percent. The margin of error was 4 percent. Obama's favorable-to-unfavorable numbers were 50 percent to 48 percent while McCain's were 63 percent to 35 percent. Voters trusted McCain more by 54 percent to 41 percent. Forty-two percent "are not at all comfortable" with Obama as President compared to 25 percent saying that of McCain. A CNN/Time/Opinion Research poll conducted Aug. 31 - Sept. 2 had Obama and McCain statistically tied at 47 percent to 45 percent. The margin of error was 3.5 percent. Republicans have won Ohio in three of the last five elections, but the margin of victory in 2000 and 2004 was 2.5 percent or less. CQ Politics' Election Forecast for Ohio is "No Clear Favorite."
"Who really is the Republican candidate for President is the question I keep asking myself? It used to be John McCain but ever since his VP announcement that seems to have changed."
"John McCain now stands at his rallies appearing to be little more than a tired old man being propped up by a right wing cheerleader."
The answer is, of course, if you even passingly look at actuarial tables for a man McCain's age, with his history of cancer and the serious physical torment he underwent in his youth, is Sarah Palin.
Should the republican ticket win, she will be president within three years of that election.
My personal bet would be about half that amount of time, assuming natural processes are allowed to transpire.
McCain ism, as you say, is "little more than a tired old man being propped up by a right wing cheerleader." And the republican machine not only realizes it, but is counting on it.

“Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer,” said Governor Palin. “Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island,” Governor Palin added. “Much of the public’s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. ------------------------------------------------
Shouldn't this press release from the Alaska state government site put to bed any doubt that Sarah Palin didn't say No,Thanks to Congress. In fact is sure sounds like the only reason she killed it was because Congress wouldn't fully fund it.

The republicans don 't want information, they have decided to back the lie come hell or high water and to attack both the facts, calling them lies, and those that would publish the truth, calling them whatever despicable thing they happen to utter at the moment.
Eventually, as it was in the case of dubya, they will declare that anyone that refuses to enthusiastically pass on the lies they spin to cover the lie that is Palin, is ungodly or unpatriotic or communist or a terrorist or a traitor to the Republic or whatever and suggest that they be formally indited and at least invited to leave the United States forever, suffering the consequences of the republican hate machine if they refuse.
Fascism is alive and well now in the republican party.

Look at the posts on this forum! The "hate machine" isn't on the part of the right. The personal attacks, intolerance, and hate are always on the side of the left. Moreover, I'm all for it. Keep attacking Palin. Keep questioning if a mother should be working or shoud stay home with her kids. Keep attacking her for being only a governor when the socialist candidate was only a "community organizer". How's that working for you so far??? Keep it up and it will be a landslide for McCain/Palin!

I call him Osama Obama because I believe he's the most dangerous man on the planet. He is an overt socialist and he will destroy the very fabric of the United States if he gets his way. I guess we can just change the name to the United Socialist States of America.

well,, I guess we have proof positive just how stupid...Really,really stupid.
"I call him Osama Obama because I believe he's the most dangerous man on the planet."
The depths of ignorance is staggering.
I might say that one who loves to bomb 100s of thousands of innocent people, and still holds a grudge against vietnam, N. Korea, and wants revenge and advocates war instead of dipomacy, might be a mite more dangerous.....but thats just me.

Always insults and attacks from you lefties, but never an answer to the question at hand. That's why you're losing this election. People in the swing states can see right through all the B.S.!

You intellectual zero.
You don't have any idea what socialism is, so I'm going to tell you. It's the mutual agreement among a group of people to act as a single body to provide services and aid to the individuals in the group, such as roads and jails and courts and on and on. Indeed, it is all those things we toss into and under the term "infrastructure" and includes gathering and implementing the means to manage them, often called taxes and disbursements and leadership.
Without it, there is no Nation, no State, no County, no City, no neighborhood association and no nothing but brute force survival of the most animal like amongst us, greed, and egotistical selfishness. It leads to ultimate chaos and wide spread unnecessary death.

Come on. You call him Osama Obama because you either believe or wish to reinforce that he is somehow allied with Osama Bin Laden. It isn't very subtle at all.
Now are you saying that this is a lie about Palin or that it's OK for here to lie about it. Remember her line that has been repeated over and over; The bridge to nowhere:"I told Congress, Thanks but No Thanks." If we wanted a bridge we'd build it ourselves. She only gave up on the Bridge because Congress wouldn't foot the whole bill.
“Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer,” said Governor Palin. “Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island,” Governor Palin added. “Much of the public’s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here.

I'm beginning to see some reports of Palin having affairs while in office. One in particular seems to have caused an ex-partner of her husband's, with whom she is rumored to have had a affair, to make a request of the court to seal his divorce papers and proceedings.
The actual "dirt" isn't so much that she may have been having an affair, but that she didn't seem to realize that such trash would become official fodder for the press and the opposition in a national election.
Too, I have seen some reports of and by a group that seems to be much stronger and bigger than Palin's following in Alaska called something like "Alaska Women Against Palin"..
