It was good to see her laugh at herself but I think she made herself look bad in a lot of people's eyes.

Palin has experience. She is Governor of Alaska. But McCain has more experience than Obama or Palin.

McCain '08 because although he's far from perfect, he's not a socialist with contradictory plans. I.E. Obama's plan to imply Universal health care and 150 billion in clean energy while lowering taxes on 95% of americans. His plan= HUGE deficit.

Sarah Palin was out of control. You can see it in her posture at the VP debate, too: that demure way she hunches over, nodding her head in a kind of bow.

As President — if you look at him, McCain on Letterman looks none too healthy — Palin would similarly be out of control. If she can't judge and control the social situation on the SNL set, how much worse will she do negotiating with Russia on nukes? Golly-gee-willikers might throw the Russkies for a loop, but I suspect they might recover well before it's time to start signing things.

But is she qualified to be President? –This much conservatives and liberals can agree on: Palin is *just* as qualified to be President as is the man who chose her, John McCain.

It seems people got confused, because Palin and Hillary are both women. But Hillary is the kind of woman you'd like to have around if you got mugged. Palin only scares moose.

Are you guys seriously analyzing this?

LMFAO!

Get a life. It was for fun. You already have your minds made up to elect a socialist!

Lets see how fabulous the country is when Obama is president.

It was bad judgement on her part and on the part of the campaign. It made her look even less presidential. It came off as a "me too" move. It looked like a desperate attempt to do something to boost their chances of getting elected, but all it really accomplished is boosting NBC's ratings!

I had to give her points for her appearance. I always appreciate a person who can laugh at themselves. It actually makes me think better of Palin, but doesn't sway my vote one iota.

What was she thinking ???? It isn't her performance that is at issue, it is her very bad judgement to sit and nod while they sing bad things about her and her policies. No way we need that bad judgement as Senate pro tem, nor advising or speaking in any way. and especially not a heartbeat away from being President.

I hope she has a fun career on TV when this is over, and that we have a thoughtful, intelligent President Obama who will lead us in through todays complicated issues. And wise Joe Biden to back him up.

i think its great that you can still have a sense of humor even when your in a position of being under a microscope!! i think to some degree it is healthy to have a mix of the lighter side of things in life along with even balance between common sense the stuff we need to take seriously! personally i don't trust people without a sense of humor!

“Clearly, the vice presidential candidate has single-handedly revived the late-night career of actress Tina Fey.”

Huh? Fey’s career hasn’t needed reviving; she just won three Emmys, and also a Golden Globe for a series she created.

Sarah Palin was just a prop on Saturday Night Live. She had about 4 lines total and looked really uncomfortable while on stage.

Irregardless of this, what sensible and intelligent person would let her performance on a comedy show affect whether they vote for her or not?

It's about the issues, not whether Sarah Palin has a future career in show business.

I care about the issues and the future of this country and planet so Barack Obama gets my vote!

Viewers tuned in to watch Palin on SNL out of curiosity. The only funny Palin part of the show was Tina Fey's impersonation. But even that is getting old. Everyone already knows that Palin is an idiot. We got it. Sarah Palin did do a good job of being the circus side show…but then she's been a side show ever since she got into politics.

Before the McCain campaign swooped into Alaska and started running the state, Todd was the guy running the show. Sarah was his front man—the talking head. All the people interviewed by the Alaska Legislative Council (regarding Palin's ethics violation) described how Todd Palin advised his wife on everything, and used the Governor's office for his own agendas.

Voting for McCain will get you John andTodd, and their talking head.
