It's pretty surreal to see the SNL clip first, and then see that Palin used the exact same words in the real interview. I'm running out of words to describe how amazed I am at Palin's stupidity.
The little 'oh... it's about creating jobs'... like she had a flash card in her brain 'I'm so stuck, I'm so stuck... OOH, I'm supposed to mention jobs'
Withdrawing a VP candidate would seem like certain doom for a campaign (see Thomas Eagleton, who passed away last spring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Eagleton). But as Trancecoach mentions Palin does have about as good of an "out" as you can hope for in the form of a special-needs infant.
It's kind of lose/lose for McCain. She's dragging down the McCain ticket with her poor fav/unfav rating. But, having your VP nominee withdraw speaks badly of McCain's judgment.
For the sake of country, though, it would be marvelous if she withdrew. She's an unintelligent ideologue/crusader like Bush and we don't need more of that.
You have to think there is a part of late night TV, Daily Show... SNL... etc... that actually wants these two elected... I mean honestly... they could can their writers... why even bother the best material is coming straight from them....
Yeah, I was just thinking that someone should abduct Palin and Fey could step in secretly. People might get suspicious when Palin actually starts sounding intelligent, though.
Let's face it. We deserve Palin to be our president.
The fact that Republicans stubbornly stand behind Palin when she is clearly and idiot on every count shows that we are just not fit to vote as a society.
How can people watch these two clips and NOT laugh?

Why would they remove her? According to McCain she is one of the most qualified candidates out there. McCain even says she knows more about energy than anyone in the country. Beat that!
Let's face it. We deserve Palin to be our president. Speak for yourself , I've been good all fiscal year and I want Santa to bring me a competent president.
Maybe the point of her comment is that in order to pay for such a bill ($700B), we have to do it with debt. We already have a large debt. The only reason to take on more debt would be to preserves jobs and growth, the lifeblood of the economy. Her words are unclear, but the point is sound. By no means is this bill as currently shot down guaranteed to make the taxpayers money, but that is not a reason not to do the bill. It should be done, but it should be done in such a way to provide incentives for economic growth (taxes and jobs very relevant when talking about growth). Anyone who wants to cherry-pick this as an opportunity to slander Palin should stick to attacking her on style and polish, not substance.
Obama's policies are nightmarish, particularly as they relate to the economy. The only way for this country to resurrect itself is through long-term growth, and tax and spend is the exact opposite way to go. If you care about your job and think you might barely be holding onto it right now, just wait until Obama raises taxes, someone please explain to me how THAT is going to stimulate the economy (it will not, and it will hurt the dollar as well). There is no current worse investor than the government, look no further than Fannie and Freddie. We need more disciplined spending, not more spending.

Tell the GOP that she forgot that she had an infant baby at home and simply resign.

OH SNAP! Republicans are voting for Tina Fey!
I would go Republican for Tina Fey.
She's an unintelligent ideologue/crusader like Bush and we don't need more of that.
Now that's entirely unfair to Mr. Bush. He's an eloquent and educated man, compared to her.
The fact that Republicans stubbornly stand behind Palin when she is clearly and idiot on every count shows that we are just not fit to vote as a society.

Sarah Palin is Jar Jar Binks in a woman costume.
"Meesa gonna be da Vice-a Prez-e-Dense?"
...
I guess that makes John McCain Senator Palpatine. Watch out for that declaration of emergency powers.
admitting a mistake is a strength! do it!
OH SNAP! Republicans are voting for Tina Fey!
Tina Fey is a MUCH better choice for VP.
