9. Well, since the debate will be broadcast by the MSM...
...I guess the only question I could ask that would be allowed would be something like "Sarah, darling, where did you get that simply divine twinset? And if I may ask a related question, are those shoes from Manolo's spring range?"

16. HAHA!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only person who noticed that. Someone should also clue her in to the fact that "under god" wasn't in the pledge until 1954.

If I'm feeling generous, I might send her my old political science textbook. I've already read it and she seems to need it more than I do. Does Econ have any old books she can send to McCain?

13. How would you like to have an iceberg melt beneath you and your
baby, and then have to make a 400 mile swim for land knowing it is highly likely you will watch your cub drown, shortly before you do? What say you about that and the Endangered Species Act you want to castrate for petro dollars?

15. What does Alaska share in common with the rest of the country
in terms of:

Percentage of minority

Street crimes

Traffic gridlock

Access to health care

Homeless

Poverty

Unemployment

Getting a check of $1,000 (around that) each, shares of their oil revenue. I would imagine there are many families in Detroit, for example, who would love to get such checks.

Considering your experience or lack thereof, is there any way in hell
that John McCain would have chosen you had you been a man? In other words, are you on this ticket, mainly, because you have breasts and a vagina?

29. What would you advise your middle teenage daughter to do with
the fetus if your daughter was raped and impregnated by her father?

Oh, we know he would never do that. But, that's what all the fathers who have raped and impregnated their daughters have said in their defense.

Just a hypothetical to you. Real life for countless thousands of teenage girls.

39. Did YOU really have that baby?? Inquiring Electorate wants to know!!!
If you did, didn't you care about your childs health and well-being enough to get to a hospital ASAP??

(My next door neighbor had a down's syndrome baby 3 years ago. The child almost died during birth).
