Romney kicked ass. The audience sure loves Huck, though.

She doesn't (or didn't) know what the VP does. That is problematic for someone who wants to be VP.

And yes, I am serious (this is the 2nd time I have now said this) about her comments about being mayor of Wasilla. Tell me a single thing she taught us about what the Wasilla mayor does.

She said she would teach us all what she did as mayor in her speech. Show me what we learned.

Tell me what she believes on issues other than drilling, abortion, gay marriage (even that one is fuzzy with her) and guns. Anything.

You guys are voting for someone to be VP and you know absolutely nothing about her.

I suppose that's better than voting for a President we know nothing about.

Change the number of posts per page and you can eliminate the issue. I only have 7 pages total, for example, becasue i increased the number of posts per page.

Dude, her comment about what the VP does was obviously TIC.

LOL, it's called rhetoric. Obama rips on her experience as a mayor, she contrasts it with being a community organizer. You really expected her to give us a laudry list of the typical day of a small-town mayor? Really?

First, it's the VP, it has little bearing on who I vote for for president. Frankly, I still wasn't buying everything she was selling on John McCain. But yeah, I'm impressed with her. From her speech, I gathered she was for lower taxes and smaller government. And she has character. How do I know? I'm a society that aborts 90% of down's syndrome babies, she kept hers.

[TripletDaddy]

Wasnt she already a public figure when she had the baby?

having an abortion would likely have hurt her polling numbers.

Besides, she clearly needs to kids as props, so no wonder she has kept her babies.

Given that the VP does pretty much nothing, that lack of knowledge (even if true) doesn't matter too much, as learning how to be nearby in case someone dies is an easy skill to master.

I find your ranting (and it really is devolving into that) about her failure to outline in detail what the mayor of Wasilia does very curious. Let me respond this way: Who gives a flying flip? Are you suggesting that she did nothing? Is there some threshold amount or quality of tasks assigned that would make you change your opinion about her? She certainly was the mayor and she certainly did whatever it was that the mayor does, right? SO the fact that she didn't outline it in more detail in her speech (and who said there is an obligation to do so to any specific degree?) is pretty meaningless. When it serves her purpose I am sure she will fill you in. In case you didn't notice, however, her base and even most of those observers from the other side of the aisle, didn't seem to object to this supposed failing.

Moreover, she did, in general terms, describe what the mayor does. She compared it to a community organizer. IOW, the mayor does about the same thing. She then added the jibe about also having responsibility, but I think the salient point, in light of your repeated demand, is that she was dealing with community issues much as Obama did. Do you doubt this? Are you under the impression that when the truth of her responsibilities as mayor comes out we will all be shocked or disappointed or otherwise forced to concede some failing on her part? I read the list of things Barry O supposedly did as a community organizer (I think you posted it) and it looks pretty mayoral-ish to me. I think this is her point.
