meanderings

Some interesting coverage on CNN last night with Anderson Cooper. First off, they showed a clip from the interview Sarah Palin had with Katie Couric. (That clip is the whole Part 1 interview, but the first part of it is what was shown on CNN last night) Couric was grilling her on the Wall Street dealings, especially McCains connection, and not surpringsly, Palin stumbled, was even left wordless for a minute, and then repeated the same phrase she had said before. I just had to laugh at what a joke her nomination is. Make sure to watch the ending of the video when Palin jovially states: "I'll try and find some and get back to you on that!"
On the other hand, CNN also did only give us that one clip--so technically someone catching that clip only, and not watching the whole interview, could only conclude that Palin has no clue as to what is going on. In other words, we didn't get the whole story. BUT...nevertheless, Palin didn't know how to answer the questions.

Another juicy tidbit--McCain now wants to pospone the debate and put his campaign on hold until something can be settled about the economy. CNN prefaced this with showing that Obama is leading in some of the key swing states, while McCain is falling behind in the polls. Evidently, CNN seemed to be implying that McCain was stalling the debates to try and gain some of his popularity back. They also said that some believe he is doing it to appear "concerened" and attentive to the economy issues. Personally, I agree with what Obama said in a statement back to McCain: the American people should be allowed to see these debates on Friday so that the issue of the economy can be addressed and plans for it's recovering disscussed--what good will holding off on the debates do?

I think McCain is just quivering in his pants a little bit...
