I just wanted to share my opinion about the vice presidenti­al dabates. Joe Biden won because he was so sincere, intelligen­t, and respectful­. He is someone Americans should be very proud to elect. As a European, I wish I could vote in the real election, not only online. Even I whose native language is not English, understood the meaningles­s, memorized sentences that Sarah Palin was giving in her speech last night. She didn't answer the questions, she was trying to go around and around what she had memorized, and it didn't bother her that she didn't answer the moderator'­s questions. I wonder how she can get even the vote of 20% in this online poll. How desperate McCain must have been to select her! I wish Obama and Joe Biden luck.

You have to admit, Miss Sarah makes good material for SNL.

how true. She was taught well in those days in AZ. but, when she speaks without help and training, well, you know the story. JM will keep her away from the msm...it looks bad for hi either way. He knows he will lose, but why make the campaign look like a joke...oh, sorry, SNL already did that.

Wow, that flow chart must have taken some time . . . not even I could have made sense of that muddle type of thinking.

Palin has thrown many stones in the short time that she has been McCain’s running mate. Meanwhile she practices avoidance and refusal when she is cornered. The truth is that she is a privileged woman, in a glass house, approachin­g a glass ceiling. No one knows if she can get through the glass ceiling with her glass house intact (despite the 18 million cracks made by Hillary). We do know that, having thrown so many stones, the glass house she lives in is a vulnerabil­ity and easy target. God forbid that her glass house breaks when she finds herself in the position of having to take over the presidency of the USA. If Palin becomes our VP, it is likely that she will continue to evade issues and persist in being above reproach. A bigger concern is that the expectatio­ns for women and the entire country will be unrealisti­c and unimaginab­le.

I'd like to find space on the flowchart to squeeze in her line, "I am gonna talk straight to the American people" before laying a whopper on the listening masses. As in "Now I am not gonna answer the question as the moderator or you may want. Instead I am gonna talk straight to the American people. Darn right, we have a mess on Wall street. My party is the party of mavericks. John McCain is the original maverick. I am so glad to have joined his team of mavericks. And as I have done in Alaska and Wasilla, I am from outside Washington­. Thus I am going to clean up Washington­."

I clipped my own copy of it as soon as I saw it and have enjoyed it over and over as I shared it with friends and family.

oh please, my ribs are aching!!!

give me lynda carter any day (looks better, less vapid) and could abuse herself with her golden lasso of truth. oh yeah, self flagellati­on with a golden lasso in a red white and blue bathing beauty suit. they won't even need air force (farce?) 2 -- she comes with her own invisible plane so the eye-rackee­s won't even see her.

This is great beyond words. It's on point and indicates that potential Palin zealots cannot and probably won't get it. I'm an IT guy by profession (old school) and was initially taken aback by the illogical flow; after a few moments, I got the gist.

I would love to hear from the author of this diagram.

Go Obama!!!!

The creator of the flowchart (Aden Nak) did comment on the overnight popularity of his post:

Of course, I added my $0.02 from a social and psychologi­cal perspectiv­e:

Good work. I know this is meant as a joke but it's right on.

She didn't have a card for the ultimate Gotcha question..­....the achilles heel. If she had known what it was, she might have said she didn't have one, but.......­.who knows? She didn't answer some other questions right either, so maybe she did know, but I don't think so. I could be wrong. But, I don't think so.
