Wow - it's almost frustrating to watch! - George Smith

Unfortunately, this exchange caused McCain to pull his upcoming interview on CNN. - Jim McCusker

does this guy still have a job? - Ruben Llibre

sometimes when you're slippery, you slip and fall down. - M. Donaldson

This is a clear example of one thing that's wrong with politics... You can't ask direct questions. Heck, I'm waiting for Obama to answer how he's going to lower taxes for 95% of us, increase the military and give people the same health insurance that congress has. - Jim McCusker

Too bad McC pulled out -- and thanks to Campbell Brown for doing her job. You know it pisses me off when reporters wonder how Biden is going to challenge Palin when they debate. It's their job to ask the tough questions, not Biden's. The Republicans nominated her, they need to explain. She didn't do anything wrong, nor did the guy she was interviewing. McCain fucked up thinking no one would ask what her qualifications were. Geez. - Dave Winer

I'd say Brown should get a Pulitzer, but that just says how incompetent the press is, she was just doing her job. You shouldn't get a prize for doing your job. - Dave Winer

This year, the GOP is taking dodging questions and doubletalk to new heights. Kudos to Campbell for pressing the issue. - Mark Edwards

Doesn't anyone else think it's odd that the media wants to pursue an issue that neither campaign thinks belongs in the political domain? Campbell Brown acted as if some nebulous "media" out there was to blame for all this when she is the media and has the ability to choose for herself. - Jan Dawson

pwned. unfortunately doublespeak is their specialty. They can convince the American public that a turd is a heavenly nugget of gelato given the chance. - Glenn Batuyong

McCain's decision to skip the CNN interview is *lame* Taking your ball and going home is now way to convince me you're ready to run the country. "When the going gets tough - quit!" - MikeAmundsen

Yeah Mike, like when the Dems said no debate on FOX, that was tough, hey? - eggsy

Palin is no less prepared to be President than Obama or Biden. Simple as that. By Campbell Brown's standards, Obama shouldn't be running. - ComicList

@eggsy did you pick up any lyndon larouche materials? your analogy is silly ... Obama & McCain had a nice values debate in a very clear format - bring your best game ... your dated troll comments are great entertainment! - Scott Moskowitz

ironic part of it is that Brown's husband is a republican strategist and she certainly seems to lean their way often. - Ruth Ferguson

@eggsy I'd lean for Ron Paul, my fellow American - but I fully appreciate your right to present non sequiturs ... whatever that silly Latin means - Scott Moskowitz

That's completely insane. You could replace everything he said with the "wah wah" of adults in the Charlie Brown cartoons. - Tad, Anti-Immanentizer

splendid spin, mixed with some shooting the questioner. - Duncan Riley

There's a bit of a difference between Fox News (which, I'm sorry, registered Republican here who realizes this network is horribly biased) aiming to smear a Democrat and CNN asking a legitimate question and getting a bullsh*t answer. - Shawn Farner

She should not have given it to him. What a wimp. She sensed tears coming on. How thoughtful of her. - Briana Franco

Kudos for Campbell. It's not about length of time or position but what type of decisions you've made. Unfortunate Tucker wasn't able to name one off the top of his hat. Hopefully he'll be better prepared next time. BTW - which of the three Senators sit on the Foreign Relations Committee? - AJ Kohn

Her nose looks really weird. - Paul Montgomery

Alright, on a serious note, Campbell made a mistake by talking over the top of the campaigner. This is a bad habit that TV interviewers get into: they go into the interview with one question that they want answered, and if they don't get it answered, they ask it again and again to make a rhetorical point, and no one learns anything. It's the journalistic equivalent of filibustering. Far better to let the man speak, then catch him out on what no doubt would have been logical inconsistencies in his argument. - Paul Montgomery

Wow, He should have been better prepared. He was more prepared to slight the democratic party (offense) than prepared to protect the republican party (defense). LMSO! - Valley

Are all men named Tucker complete idiots? - Andy Wibbels

The Republicans are so on the ropes - pity the public won't get it... - Sean Kelly

Was this a clip from Comedy Central? Or American Gladiator? Tucker got served. - Larry Kless

MUST... STAY... ON... MESSAGE...! - Tad, Anti-Immanentizer

It's nice to see a reporter actually doing her job - especially on a main stream news outlet like CNN. Hope this happens more often, regardless of the target. - Sean O'Brien

"SERVICE"....? - Mona Nomura

this reminds me of the Sanford incident with Wolf Blitzer on CNN - http://www.youtube.com/watch... - go figure. - ~C4Chaos

She should have given up at ~1.00 minute into the interview. This guy was NOT going to answer the initial question nor any of the follow up questions. - Jeff P. Henderson

The thing that pisses me off about all of this back and forth about who has experience and who doesn't is that they seem to be focusing on executive experience only. People seem to forget when comparing Obama to Palin that Obama has a law degree, taught constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School for 12 years, was an associate at law firm for 6, was a State Senator for 6 and a US Senator for ~3.5 and has managed and run a very successful campaign for the past 1.5+ years, beating out one of the most popular Demo candidates for President. Is this not rather significant or am I missing something. - Jeff P. Henderson

Media doing its job. Amazing! Pity you guys don't have Jeremy Paxman. - Paul Grav
