'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days. I keep condiments in my refrigerator longer than that.

Please D, McSame picked Palin as purely a political stunt...scary that she would be a heartbeat away from being our President if something happens to McSame...what speech were you watching on Thursday that was vague, unclear and scary???

SGM Davis - I have over 10 years of Active Service and care very much about the military - I am too a gun-toting Democrat.

Governor Sarah Palin is a wonderful person who has made enormous strides in her life serving people - even democrats. Don't harsh her buzz in a futile attempt to elevate the Messiah!

Why didn't KKTV run a poll to find out what people think about McCain's VP choice, just like you did for Obama's choice? Seems like very one-sided reporting...

Voting for Obama is like chickens voting for Col Sanders!!!!Sounds like Democrats have more of a history of pulling out their cigars...interesting.

Mark, may I ask what leads you to believe that was McCain's motive? You must be a Space Geek.

She just had a baby? Wow. And her daughter is expecting, also. Best of luck to both of them. NObama, no way, no how. I just don't trust him. Sen. McCain & Gov. Palin, show us the light at the end of the tunnel.

How disrespectful to speak of two very accomplished people!! Senator McCain respects Gov. Palin because she can stand on her own two feet and defend what's right. What a GREAT choice!! My vote is for McCain not vague, unclear, scary NObama!!

Well Im pretty sure electing an Arabic Muslim loving Pro Partial Birth Killer who removes the American flag from his private plane and is called the "TAX MAN COMETH" by Wall Street will certainly be a change ?
