10. WTTE – FOX – OH – BETH DOLINGER: "I think it'll be interesting.
Sometimes you can get a different perspective when you're looking at someone
face-to-face than from television because there's interesting, non-verbal,
instead a person will…you'll see that you may not see," on why she's so
excited to see Sarah Palin
Clips:
Highlight #1
*Mitt Romney on Sarah Palin: Not an Expert *(MSNBC 09/29/08 7:28am)
MITT ROMNEY: […] *holding Sarah Palin to just three interviews and
microscopically, you know, focusing on each interview, I think has been a
mistake. I think they'd be a lot wiser to let Sarah Palin be Sarh Palin. Let
her talk to the media. Let her talk to people.*
*Look, she wasn't selected by John McCain because she's an expert in foreign
policy.* John McCain's the expert in foreign policy. *She was selected
because she's a maverick. She's a person who identifies with people in homes
across America* […].
Highlight #2
*Scarborough Characterizes McCain's Debate Performance as an Angry
Grandpa*(MSNBC 09/29/08 6:07am)
JOE SCARBOROUGH: The reflects in a very visual way, for those of us who are
visual, *what a bad week it has been for John McCain*. [...] He looked
angry. He looked straight ahead. He looked old. *He looked like a grumpy
grandfather. [...] He looks like the angry grandfather that you don't want
to talk to at Thanksgiving.*
Highlight #3
*Bush Promotes Rescue Plan* (NBC 09/29/08 7:33am)
GEORGE W BUSH: Yesterday, leaders here in Washington reached an
extraordinary agreement to deal with an extraordinary problem in our
economy. Working closely with my administration, congressional leaders from
both parties produced the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act -- a bold
bill that will help keep the crisis in our financial system from spreading
throughout our economy.
Highlight #4
*Palin's Credibility Doubtful to Some Conservatives* (CBS 09/29/08 7:08am)
MAGGIE RODRIGUEZ: [T]he question a lot of Americans are asking this morning,
including some prominent republicans is whether Sarah Palin is ready. […]
JEFF GLOR: […] Sarah Palin has mostly been kept away from reporters, but the
interviews she has done are raising eyebrows.
SARAH PALIN: It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an
eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia because they are
right there.
GLOR: The most recent, with Katie Couric, provoked widespread criticism from
liberals on the web and a lampooning on Saturday Night Live.
[SNL "lifeline" segment]
GLOR: But *even some conservatives are concerned, including syndicated
columnist, Kathleen Parker who said Palin is "clearly out of her league,"
and called for the Alaska governor to leave the race.*
ALEX BURNS: […] I think there's a larger number of people who privately
express kind of muted criticism and concern.
GLOR: McCain himself was asked about the chatter on Sunday.
JOHN MCCAIN: I'm so excited about the reaction that Sarah Palin has gotten
across this country; huge turnouts, enthusiasm, excitement. She knows how to
communicate directly with people. They respond in a way that I've seldom
seen.
[…]
LARRY SABATO: […] *If you're running for president or vice president you
shouldn't have a choice. Your obligation is to run the gauntlet of the press
corps*. Can they be mean and nasty? You bet they can. It's part of the price
of running for national office […] I think the McCain campaign has made a
mistake with Palin in keeping her so bottled up […]. *She's become […] an
object of ridicule, in part* *because of that Katie Couric interview, which
was a real turning point in her campaign*.
Highlight #5
*Romney Defends Palin, Says She's a Maverick* (NBC 09/29/08 7:10am)
ANDREA MITCHELL: In their first debate Friday night, McCain was the
aggressor.
JOHN MCCAIN: I honestly don't believe that Senator Obama has the knowledge
or experience and has made the wrong judgments in a number of areas.
[...]
MITCHELL: Palin is still drawing big crowds, but the reviews have been
withering for her interview with Katie Couric, only her third since
nominated.
[...]
*MITCHELL: Palin's critics now include some conservative commentators. On
the National Review Online website, columnist, Kathleen Parker called on
Palin to drop out, writing, "Quick study or not, she doesn't know enough
about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a
President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion,"* and New York
Times columnist, David Brooks with Chris Matthews:
DAVID BROOKS: [I]s she ready to be vice president? Based on what we've seen
with the Katie Couric interview? It's embarrassing. It's painful to watch
those things. You want to turn them off.
[...]
MITT ROMNEY: [...] I think John McCain chose a person who, like him, is a
maverick, a reformer, she's a governor with the experience of executive
nature and you know, she's not a lifelong politician, she's not the master
of words that Joe Biden is and, as a result, she's going to come across like
an ordinary citizen but a person of great capacity and that's what John
McCain wanted.
MATT LAUER: Ed Rollins [...] said that basically they put [Palin] in storage
[...] and it broke her confidence. [...]
ROMNEY: *[T]here's nothing like being able to create low expectations *and
that's certainly being done for her.
LAUER: [...] Sarah Palin has done three [interviews]. Is this a case where
maybe practice will make her more perfect?
ROMNEY: [...] let her get out there and be herself and people will say, 'You
know what? I like what I see [...].'
LAUER: [...] Did John McCain play a significant role in shaping the [rescue]
bill as it stands?
ROMNEY: Oh, absolutely [...].
Highlight #6
*Even Fox Commentators Question Palin's Ability* (ABC 09/29/08 7:09am)
ROBIN ROBERTS: […] On Thursday, the one and only vice presidential debate
between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin who went jogging
yesterday in the Philadelphia area. That will take place in St. Louis. […]
DAVID WRGHT: […] Sarah Palin has a relatively light schedule over the next
couple of days as she prepares for that big debate, that video that you just
rolled there of her jogging through the streets of Philadelphia, looking a
bit like Rocky Balboa. *Her advisors are trying to lower expectations, but
even among some conservatives, expectations couldn't be any lower. * [….]
Sarah Palin has been trying hard to prove herself. Hob-knobbing with world
leaders at the UN; sitting down with influential anchormen and women.
KATIE COURIC: You've sighted Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your
foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
SARAH PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a
foreign country, Russia, and on our other side the land boundary that we
have with Canada.
COURIC: Explain to me why that enhance your foreign policy credentials.
PALIN: Well, it certainly does, because our next-door neighbors are in
foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of.
WRIGHT: Judging from Saturday Night Live, the comedians have their doubts.
[…] Some foreigners we've met have their doubts too. […] *This weekend even
Fox News raised questions:*
BRIT HUME: Coming up on the grapevine, are some Republicans turning on
Sarah Palin?
WRIGHT: Highlighting conservative critics of Palin
ROD DREHER: It's going to be very, very hard to erase the impression that
she's given in her network TV interviews; that she is in way, way over her
head, and she is not ready for Prime Time.
WRIGHT: At an Irish pub in Philly Friday night, the crowd watching debate
with her was friendly, but outside, not so much. John McCain told George
Stephanopolous, he's not concerned.
JOHN MCCAIN: […] They can complain all they want to; I'll rely on the
American people. The American people respond to her in a way that's been
wonderful. But how will Palin fair with her ninety-minute debate with Joe
Biden?
KEVIN MADDEN: Sarah Palin has to get through this debate by avoiding a
really big mistake, by looking unready to assume the office.
WRIGHT: Palin's advisors tell us they're not worried one bit. They are
reportedly bringing in the heavy hitters to give her a few last-minute
coaching tips. They know that she needs to address the question of
experience, and they tell us she's looking forward to doing it.
ROBERTS: […] Give us the bottom line on what's happening right now with
Sarah Palin.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULUS: *She's become a problem for Senator McCain, there's
no question about it*. If you look at the polling numbers over the last few
weeks- and listen, when she was first picked, it was a huge boost for John
McCain, no question about it. But look at her favorability numbers, they've
gone down, from 58% on September 7th to 52% on September 22nd. Even more
important, *the question of qualifications, the number of people who say
she's not qualified to be vice president is going up.* 49% say she's not
qualified for Sarah Palin, compared to only 21% for Joe Biden. Those are
the polling numbers.
But you've got to add into that the reaction among conservatives, as David
Wright just reported, *there's a lot of second thoughts now out in the
conservative community, about Sarah Palin, and the buzz- the buzz on Sarah
Palin has gone all bad. When you become a punch line in politics, it is one
of the worst things that can happen. And that is what is happening to Sarah
Palin now; she has got to address it in the debate on Thursday night.*
[…]Picking
up on what Kevin Madden said in David Wright's piece; number one, for Sarah
Palin, she cannot make a mistake. A major mistake, particularly on foreign
policy, would be absolutely fatal to her candidacy.
But even beyond that, she has to avoid some of what you've seen in some of
those interviews; those deer in the headlights moments, where it seems like
she doesn't know what to say. I think one thing she can do to get around
that, and I would expect this on Thursday; watch for her to be aggressive
against Barack Obama; to call him out as liberal so that Joe Biden in that
debate will have to answer for Obama. […]
Highlight #7
*Nancy Pfotenhauer Criticizes Nature of Questions Aimed at Palin* (FNC
09/29/08 8:39am)
NANCY PFOTENHAUER: [...] [in regards to McCain on the Hill] The wheels were
off the car, and he came in very quietly behind the scenes and worked almost
nonstop to pull those parties together and did not force his own proposal
down peoples' throats [...]
[in regards to Palin's upcoming debate] I think we're working the governor
to focus her on what she's likely to run into at the this debate. *Obviously
you can have the series of gotcha questions* [...]My guess is they're going
to go very heavily on foreign policy, where I would prefer - normally in
vice presidential debates you see a more even-handed approach, particularly
with the challenges that we're facing with the nation's economies. So I
would hope the questions would be more even-handed [...] I think the
moderator will have questions to answer themselves if they do go so heavily
on foreign policy. [...] If it's a battle of wits we like our questions, and
we think she'll do a fine job. [...]
[in regards to the Palin/Couric interview] I think *it was a series of
trapdoor questions*. [...]
Highlight #8
*Debate Fact Check: McCain Gives Billions in Tax Cuts to Mega
Corporations*(MSNBC 09/29/08 9:33am)
TAMRON HALL: Here's what Barack Obama said about McCain's tax plan.
BARACK OBAMA: Under your tax plan […] oil companies would get an additional
$4 billion in tax breaks. […]
HALL: […] is that true or false?
BILL ADAIR: That one got a 'true' on the truth-o-meter. Indeed, *McCain's
tax plan would cut corporate taxes from 35 to 25% and, if you calculate how
much oil companies would get—works out to be about $4 billion.* So true on
our truth-o-meter.
Highlight #9
*Graham Admits He's Part of the Pork Problem, Changes the Subject on Russia
*(FNC 09/28/08 6:00pm)
LINDSEY GRAHAM: I think it was decisive in regards to the House being
involved. John was challenged about four days ago by Harry Reid to say, "If
you don't support this proposal," the original Paulson proposal that was
being tweaked, "there'll be no Democratic votes for it." *If John McCain
doesn't vote for it, the Democrats won't.*
[...]
MIKE WALLACE: But let me ask you a question about that, Senator Graham.* If
earmarks are so bad, why did you ask for 71 projects totaling $305 million
in the last fiscal year?*
*GRAHAM: I have been part of the problem. *My earmarks have been authorized,
number one. They're out there for you to look at. And I'm part of the
problem.
I'd like to be part of the solution, because the good part of earmarks has
been overwhelmed by the bad part. Let's just start over. Let's start over,
because the $3 million to DNA -- to bear studies in Montana, the $250
million bridge in Alaska for 50 people, is drowning out some of the good
things I've done and John's done.
[...]
WALLACE: Senator Graham, what the heck was she talking about?
GRAHAM: Trying to show that she lives near one of the biggest threats we
have in the world, Russia, run by Putin, who John said, "When I looked in
his eyes, I saw KGB."
But the truth is Joe has said some things about FDR being on T.V. He's
right. These are human beings. She'll get better. She's very talented at
what she's been asked to do in the past. She's been a really good governor.
