Sporting his trademark cowboy hat, the denim-clad Salazar held a press conference in Denver before leaving for Washington on Sunday, saying he’d like to pass eight bills dealing mainly with wilderness and conservation issues, as soon as possible.
The U.S. Department of Energy today announced that it plans to take advantage of the recent decline in crude oil prices, and has issued a solicitation to purchase approximately 12 million barrels of crude oil for the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to replenish supplies sold following hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

Biden won, hands down. Palin refused to follow the format and answer the questions, kept repeating the same things over and over again even if it wasn’t on topic. She did not seperate McCain and herself from BUSH and perhaps more than anything else, she terrified me for her wanting even more powers of the VP being expanded. From someone whose own ethics violations investigation isn’t likely to be over until after we vote, and who says the only mistake Chaney has made was his “duck hunting accident” very very scarry.
Joe Biden won this debate. governor Palin is a nice lady. maybe a competent governor but she is out of her league
To “professional woman”: I can only assume that you are a devout republican to say that “Palin obliterated Biden”!
There is no other logical explanation for your delusion.
I STRONGLY feel that Biden was prepared to answer whatever they threw at him and had his facts down and has clearly done his research. Palin seemed to answer the questions how the people would like to hear but not the way she should have. She wouldnt stay on topic and kept repeating and repeating. The only advise i would have on Biden is attack attack! Dont be so nice. He is strongly capable of taking this.
In short…Biden won hands down.
I give it to Palin - Biden got her a few times (even though one was an outright lie) but lets be honest we’re voting for a president here.
I’ve been to a couple different polling blogs etc and see quite a few people pointing out how Palin is not ready to be VP.
Let me ask this - is someone with very little experience and NO executive experience (such as Obama) ready to lead this Country? Can someone like him who holds himself in a blatent arrogance really sit down with other world leaders and pull it off without getting pushed away as a boy who knows nothing? Can he sit down with Ahmadinejad without pre-condition and talk sense into him?
I say no, for the latter I don’t think anyone could. That’s the point - you don’t do it because you come off as arrogant. It’s dangerous and I fear if Obama becomes president we can expect pot-shot attacks because of his initial leniency towards rule breaking nations that need to be dealt with a strong hang, not passive arrogance and lecturing.
Sarah won the debate because she came off as being trust worthy and accountable. Biden looked like the same old sorry political hack he is and a pertfect match his running mate. Sarah also related to the average American. She has a genuine smile and she handled herself well.
I’m so glad that it was said, and that was said clearly- “”"John McCain voted against Alternate Energy 20 times.”"”
I’ve been watching his voting record over the past year+, he missed all 9 alternate energy votes this year. This site explains more:

Joe Biden is my new found hero. He spoke the truth and did so with a honest and true passion. I agree with Clayton, Palin was a like a cute Parrot. Cute, but so far from VP, especailly next to Joe. Not only that, but she wants to milk us for oil or natural gas becuase that’s all she really knows about energy, will not lead up to alternatives.
I am shocked to find anyone on this site posting that they are for her or McCain.
These sites below link to the actual .gov voting records. Please become familiar with the records if you’re visiting this site and thinking of voting PalinMcCain, we don’t want to hurt ourselves.

GO SARAH!
Palin totally won this round. She is hot. I have never seen a vp this cute! She can totally do it all.
When they hugged at the end my friends were like “grab her ass!!!”
Biden was kinda tired and spoke too much.
Ok- I’ve just read a few more comments, if I may- I would like to cut the crap, and not baby Sarah anymore. We are so far away from a real qualified VP in her that we have completely lost sight of the bar.
Someone on here talked about how they like they way she smiled and was enthusianstic- right now, after 8 years of OIL MADNESS- WARS OVER IT - CLIMATE CHANGE FROM IT- THERE IS NO WAY on GODS GREEN (what’s left of it) EARTH THAT WE NEED ANOTHER OIL STATE OIL LOVING VP IN CONTOL OF OUR COUNTRY! Wake up people! Wake up people! Wake up people! Look around you!!! Can’t you see it?!? Can’t you smell it burning!? We are being robbed and lied and led to wars over this stuff WAKE UP PEOPLE- NO SARAH FROM OIL LAND, NO McOil from OIL LOBBYIST LAND!
For the love of GOD and all things good-
WAKE UP PEOPLE - PLEEEEEASE, I AM ON MY KNEES!!!!!
Energy is blowing in the wind and falling freely from the sky - and WE ARE GOING TO WAR OVER OIL AND KILLING OURSELVES BY BURNING IT when the enegry we are after is all around us!
PLEASE- wake up, I want to be a father, but I have waited because I do not want to bring a child into this world of oil, greed over it, wars over it, whether it comes from the US or not- without alternatives VERY SOON the reast of the world will war more over it and make more nuclear energy plants becuase they have an excuse to- what excuse- US!! NO MORE!!!
Joe and Barack can lead us there- the other team doesn’t truly beleive in it. I beg you all to listen, and to hear, and to think- I mean REALLY THINK!
I can’t believe that some of you people actually think Palin is capable to be Vice president (and potentially president) of your country? Have all you Americans lost your friggin mind??? She has not even read a newspaper before, only just got her passport last year and thinks God put dinosaurs and people on the earth together a few thousand years ago - I MEAN COME ON!!!!!! Is everyone blind - she is making your whole country look so stupid!
Her IQ could not possibly be over 100 and she has absoultely NO KNOWLEDGE about the economy or foreign policy. For all you women who think she is the average woman - are you all pro oil, pro guns, pro war and against abortion even in instances of rape and incest? Do you teach your young daughters how to kill animals while letting your other daughters take drugs, sleep around and get pregnant - great family values isn’t it.
I have never seen such a DUMB AIRHEAD before and enough with all this folksy ‘Hockey mom’ ‘Your Darn Right’ crap, THIS IS THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - probably the most important election ever and she is turning the whole thing into some beauty pageant joke. Imagine her sitting down with Putin and Ahmadinejad…… are you kidding??
She is a TOTAL EMBARASSMENT to all women, candidates and the whole american popluation. The WHOLE WORLD is LAUGHING at all of you. She may be ‘cute’ and a qualified ‘Hockey mom’ but a potential president - HONESTLY….PRESIDENT?
The sad part about it is that the whole world actually gets affected by this and if anyone of you are actually considering supporting Palin (I bet you are the same people who voted for Bush) then you should be ashamed of yourself.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
