The british article seemed less against Palin Whereas the American aarticle was ripping her up left and right. The main idea is that Sarah Palin is going world wide talking to leaders of foreign countries.

Okay, now dont get me wrong,(heather), it's not that shes a girl but she seems like an air head a little bit. She doesnt seem like she has a lot of experience, and, lets face it, McCain is gonna be dead soon, and do we really want her running our country?

WAKE UP PEOPLE!
VOTE FOR OBAMA!
VOTE FOR CHANGE!

Foreign Policies are very important, and nothing is better than gaining experience before potentially going into office. McCain is very experienced on the Foreign Policy side of things, and I believe that Palin will experience a lot on her travels. I believe that Palin will only bring good things to the world.

I believe that Sarah Palin helps John McCain's campaign. I believe that
her positions on many issues. She will be a strong leader. I also thought that the American article was terribly bias. It just listed many flaws about Sarah Palin; however she is a very confident leader and this is what our country needs right now.

i agree with you. vote for Obama. sarah does seem like an air head and doesn't have a lot of experience.

I agree with you and Danny. Sarsh Palin hs barely any experience and she keeps calling herself just a hockeymom. American can't have just a hockeymom as their vice president or even president if Mccain were to die. So go Obama. Vote Obama.

My opinion about sarah palin is very strong. I think she is a woman who should no where be near polotics and I think she has absoloutly no idea what she's doing. I think that if McCain dies and Sarah Palin becomes vice president America will be doing even worse that it is now. She needs to understand that this election is not a joke and I wish the best for her but she has no luck and should not be McCains vice, she should not be governer of Alaska, and she shouldent be involved in polotics.

give it up sarah palin.

I think Sarah Palin should have more experience in foreign policies to be McCain's Vice President because she is meeting with all these important people which is good. But its kind of to late she should of been doing this a while back so she could be prepared.

the differneces between the two articles is that the british article is more against palin than the american article is.
the main idea is should you electa vice president that has no knowledge on the major events taking place right now.
i think if sarah palin wants to become vice president she should learn more about what is going on in the world.

Both articles talked about Sarah Palins in not that great of a manner. The American one seemed to be mostly focused on the stuff she did not know, and the British one was focused more on the event of her meeting with other countries. The main idea about these two articles is Sarah Palin spending time talking to other country's leaders. I think she does not have enough experience to be vice president. but at least she knows a little about the country.
but still she is to inexperienced to be vice president

The Brittish article is really against Palin. American.. not so much. I'm against Palin because she seems to want to be a hero.

Obama will cause change and that is what we need.

Okay! ya know wat Dan I am so sick of you spamming obama into all your comments we all know that you are for Nobama but you dont need to say it in every comment. PlusI Know Palin will be a great VP.

I think it's extremely good that Palin is getting involved with foreign policies... and she is definately helping McCain's campaign.
But I aslo think that if McCain were to die, we would be doomed with Palin as the president.
I couldn't trust her as far as i could throw her.
Which I can't. In that case i'd probably be arrested.
Which is my point exactly.

I beileve she isnt a good influence either because she has a teen daugther, who is pregnant.
I really do not think she is a good perspective for other people!

i agree with almost everyone. Sarah palin wont make it, and isnt ready to handle our country. And it will only be a matter of time before she gets death threats. Our country isnt ready for a women to run this counrty with so many problems in the economy.

The british article talked about how she's meeting with other countries leaders, and the american article is talking about all the stuff that she doesn't know and how she's going to bring McCain down. The Main idea of the two articles is how she keeps meeting with other countries leaders. I think that shes not really ready to be in office as our vice president, and not just because she's a girl. If something were to happen to McCain, I don't think she would be ready to become president.

The LA Times was much more biased about Sarah Palin, because it's a liberal newspaper, while the Guardian stated facts and not as much opinions. I think the main idea is that she is meeting other important people and getting her experience in the eyes of many people. But while the time Mrs. Palin has done more than Obama with her time as the governor of Alaska. She has stopped government spending and has GIVEN back money from the oil business to the people of Alaska. I think Sarah Palin is very competent person that with some more time learning she can be a great VP. Who knows what it's like have over 4 children (I have 3 siblings plus me and it gets rather confusing with things that life throws at you) and Mr. McCain is not going to die within 4 years. He recently visited his NINETY-FOUR year old mother, so I think he has the genes to live for a few more years huh?

Both articles are against Palin. The British article more so than the American one. The articles mainly talk about how Palin isn't very good in forreign affairs. I do think mcCain could have picked a better vice. Palin isn't very well known and doesn't have much experience.

I think the British article was less against her while the American wrote different things about her. I think that she doesnt have that much experience to lead the country. If somthing happened to McCain then we would have her for a president and i dont think that would be a good idea

hmmm kay i agree with danny on this one..i know that she is a woman and believe me i am sooooooooo for a women president/representative but come on people like is this the best you could do?? NO its deffinately not.

the american article bashed sarah much more..she is making a good try but she is sooo not quatified. i feel bad for her that silly mccain put her in this possition that she is not ready for! also that she is mostly for show..to gain the vote of women which is backfiring on her completely!!
N.O.W (National Organization of Women), which i am a part of and know much about, is standing behind and supporting OBAMA because of sarah palin and mccains silliness.

The British article seems a lot kinder about how uninformed Sarah Palin is while the American article tells it more like it is.

Sarah Palin, in my opinion, has no outstanding strengths. Right now she's going through enough of her own problems with her daughter being pregnant to really have enough focus on whats best for our country.

I agree with a lot of these people saying that Sarah Palin doesn't have a lot of expeireince or isn't ready to be a vice president. but i want mccain to win. if he does happen to die i don't know if Sarah Palin is ready to be president. So lets just hope McCain doesn't die.

I think that neither aricles seemed to be in favor of Palin, and that the main idea of the artilces was that Palin was not expiranced in foriegn policies and relations but she is trying to change that now.I completly agree with Danny that she doesn't seem to have a lot of expiriance, especially with foreign policies, and people who are in favor of McCain need to remember that she will be president if he dies, which i a likely possibility.

I think Palin is a poor choice for VP. McCain thought he was getting all of Clinton's votes when he picked Palin for VP but his plan has back fired. Publicity on Palin is just showing that shes not ready and is not intelligent enough to become Vice President and probably President someday if McCain wins.
To the questions:
the British article is not opinionated whereas the U.S. one is against her.
The main idea is that she's going to other countries and speaking with their leaders.

The differences between the article was that the American article criticized Palin more then the British article. The main ideas were about Sarah Palin. Her strengths are being near russia her whole life and knowing more and her weaknesses are not travelnig over seas much.

I think that Palin is trying to immerse her self with foreign politics so she can be a better Vice President (or President if it comes to that) so she shouldn't be criticized as harshley as she is.

i noticed that the differneces between the two articles is that the british article is more against palin than the american article is.

The main idea is that should you elect a v.p. that doesnt really have any knowledge on the events taking place right this second.

My opinion about Sarah Palin is that if she really wants to become v.p. of our country, then maybe she sould learn about the things that are going on.

The british article talks more about her rlationships with Russia and the U.S. talks about her foreign policies in a more negative, paparazzi fashion. The main point is that she is making herself more familiar with world leaders.

The American article talks about her more negatively than the British article, because the British article talks about Palin's "tour" of foreign countries whilst the American article says "Even some in her own party have criticized Palin for citing Alaska's proximity to Russia as evidence of her international exposure."

The American article was a bit bias in how they mostly just had bad stuff to say about Palin, but i'm not sure she is the best lady so to say to run the country.. and it is true, McCain is getting old in years.. and age does weird things to the mind, i'd prefer someone with a good mind set on life and someone who is reliable. But i also think that McCain made Palin his Vice President because having a female Vice President would stir up for better media and bring more attention to him and Palin, being exactly what he needs.
