[Rhodes22-list] Brad, now my turn:

Tue Sep 16 16:16:32 EDT 2008

Jb,

Here's your answer - comparison and contrast of Gibson interview with
"The One" v Palin.

Brad

------------------------

    Obama interview:

    How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
    How does it feel to "win"?
    How does your family feel about your "winning" breaking a glass ceiling?
    Who will be your VP?
    Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
    Will you accept public finance?
    What issues is your campaign about?
    Will you visit Iraq?
    Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
    What did you think of your competitor's [Clinton] speech?

    Palin interview:
    Do you have enough qualifications for the job you're seeking?
Specifically have you visited    foreign countries and met foreign
leaders?
    Aren't you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
    Questions about foreign policy
    -territorial integrity of Georgia
    -allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
    -NATO treaty
    -Iranian nuclear threat
    -what to do if Israel attacks Iran
    -Al Qaeda motivations
    -the Bush Doctrine
    -attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
    Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]
