    I'm usually in the gearheads section but I thought I'd share this...

    Obama, Hillary, and McCain were all on WWE RAW a few months ago. It's interesting to see how much the candidates are reaching out through pop culture media. Even WWE...something that's normally looked down upon, was utilized in the campaign. Now, I'm not a fan of Palin, in the least, but her going on SNL is a great way to reach a huge demographic.

    I'll tell you the one I don't get, Obama paying to have his name in Video games.

    It was awesome all ways round.

    And Palin raised the roof well. Gal's got good rhythm and can field dress a moose.

    Did anyone think that made her more likable? I didn't think so. I cringed - because she seemed so clueless that they were mocking her to her face. I don't think that appearance did much to help her at all. She just comes off as clueless.

    I think that was mistake #589734246 by the McCain campaign.

    The only part I saw (so far) was the clips shown on CNN, and I agree with you based on the little I saw. I plan to find the rest of it on hulu hopefully, to see if that's still the case once I see the rest.

    Here's the opening sketch in full: http://www.mediahangout.blogspot.com/

    I think this was another massive mistake in a campaign that has made an artform of it.

    I'm sorry but if you thought that she was clueless then you're clueless.

    She (and every other political figure who's appeared on SNL) is supposed to seem clueless. That's the point of the parody and of the "real" person making an appearance. See Mark Walhberg?

    And I don't care about it making her likable to me; I'm not voting for her. But it was a good gig and I can give credit where credit is due.

    Meh. I've only seen the opening sketch, but she stood there and delivered her lines. She showed up. But that was her mistake. It's one thing for a politician to do that once in office, or even early in the game. But at this late stage for her to turn up and essentially play into the very real concerns as to what she's even doing in this position in the first place, well- it does nothing to prove otherwise. Show me one other politician running for any high position who stood by and got burned like Palin was by Baldwin.

    That was truely a "gotcha" moment and she was too clueless to not take part.

    I thought it was funny. It takes a lot of guts to stand there and take all that.. it shows she has a sense of humor and a great sport.

    However as our next VP... well that is another story...

    Right. Why are whites racist when they vote against Obama, but 99% of blacks voting for Obama is not racist at all? You are blind, and completely hypocritical.

    Anyway, even when Palin is on SNL making a joke, the left comes out firing with hatred. It is obvious to anyway that the left is so consumed with hate. Can't you take a break and laugh? I knew Alec Baldwin was mocking her to her face, and so did she, but you know what, it was still funny. If it turns you into a rage, you have issues.

    It was funny and it illustrates what a joke she is as a candidate. End of.

    Funny how right wingers accuse the left of being angry. Maybe it would have something to do with eight years of fear tactics and the stripping of civil liberties by the right. Anyone on the left who isn't angry, damn well should be. But yeah, the right wingers would love for us to just sit back, relax, and go for the ride.

    I don't think saying that someone is out of her mind implies hatred......
