I'd be happy to hear any of the four give real answers to real questions.

Those first three are good questions, although asking someone how they will personally vote (or at least expecting an answer to your question) in an election should be off-limits.

The fourth is clearly a "Have you stopped beating your husband?" question, and needs to be re-worked. The question assumes she "reneged" without actually indicating specific action (or inaction) on her part.

This question is highly appropriate: "As governor of Alaska, you have not pushed for laws or regulations that put your personal views on abortion, same-sex marriage and creationism into public policy. As vice president, will you push to outlaw abortion, restrict same-sex marriage and require the teaching of creationism?"

The rest of the questions are fairly weak:
-- the "delay" in talking to reporters is a creation of the media, and again the question assumes an answer (i.e., that she is or isn't qualified based on the quickness or delay with which she sits down with some member of the media);
-- the "deference" line isn't hers but someone else's -- the question assumes that she expects deference;
--the "exit plan" also isn't hers to determine or to oversee.

Those last topics can be broached, but really her answers to those questions don't have much to do with anything.

Careful, Moss. Too much sense may result in comments being shut down.

Moss is going to need to create an alter ego for the purpose of commenting...

MysteryGuy believes it's just a bunch of liberal hooey.
