The only thing that poll was ment to do was to mislead the American people into thinking that Obama is helped by the economic issues right now. If you look at the people polled its like 54% dems to like 30% rep. The Washington Post is the most bias news around and is not a very good source.

this woman is so uneducated on the issues, how the hell is she going to debate next Thursday? it seems like any time McCain flip flops on any of his positions, the word maverick magically appears. this republican ticket is turning into a joke

You could get a good drinking game going with all the times she mentions 'Maverick'. Or maybe she just loves Top Gun.

While I am still undecided, I lean towards McCain. That said, I have to agree with you here. I can't justify voting for this ticket unless she raises her awareness on just about everything (aside from morality issues, where she seems to have all of her knowledge invested). 8 yrs has been enough of a president who looks unsure every time he opens his mouth. This election is really disappointing me. I disagree with Obama on most issues, but McCain is nowhere near the force he was 10 yrs ago.

The idea of Palin as VP should scare the crap out of any rational human being. Horrible VP choice and I think it will be one of the main factors that costs McCain the election.

John McCain is putting Country First! Obama and the Dems only care about power! J/K.

Seriously though, McCain knows this economic crisis is killing him. Smart move by him IMO, he's put himself in a position that if the bailout is passed it will appear he had something to do with it and he'll take credit, hopefully reversing the poor poll numbers. If the bill doesn't pass, he can be in Washington stumping about the Democratic controlled Congress killing the U.S. economy with partisan bickering.

It's a gimmick one intended to change the media narrative and possibly give Palin more time to prepare or to skip the VP debate all together. We'll just have to see if it works in his favor.

Most polls right now have Obama out in front.

getting close to a deal. not sure if its the right deal, but i agree something needs done. i definitely don't want Sec. Paulson with a blank check. we all see how well that has been working. and welcome back 12th

The fun continues:

My god she really is a joke. She's going to look like a fool in the debates. I actually feel embarrassed for her watching her stumble through some of her answers, which really aren't answers anyway she's just tossing crap out there hoping it sticks.

Don't turn off the internet now, the fun is just getting started.

The only question in my mind is, who put her on the list of possible running mates for McCain, and does that person still have a job?

Do you think McCain approved of that message?
