The unshakable Sarah
You need to click on a couple of links to get the different sections of the interviews.
Gibson appears to be an arrogant, condecending elitist. I would love for him to ask similar questions of the Messiah.
Gov. Palin didn't seem to know what Gibson meant by the Bush doctrine but she managed to recover pretty well from that.

Which part of the Bush doctrine Cre8? The democratic peace theory, you are with us or with the terrorists or the right to premptive war?
Just wondering. 
Sure Palin was wondering too as it should have been clarified when asking the question.

Most people who are paying attention to Washington politics on a daily basis, know that when the left brings up "The Bush Doctrine" they are referring to Bush's pre-emptive defence strategy.
Her little toe stub here shows that she is absolutely not a Washington insider. When Gibson asked her about the Bush Doctrine she, naturally, was assuming that Gibson was asking her about the whole Administratoin's policies so she asked "In what respect?"
Like I said, I think she recovered pretty well from that.

Well the 'left' is wrong then as the Bush doctrine encompasses a lot more than that. Perhaps they should clarify it themselves so they don't come off as so one dimensional as it includes all aspects of defense including but not limited to missile defense.
And so, wondering still, how the hell is she supposed to know if he meant Bush's policy in promoting the democratic peace theory, missile defense, acting unilaterally or, preemptive war? What is amazing is that he wasn't able to clarify it properly so she could answer the question. It's akin to him asking what she thought of Europe's policy, a question that is so broad that it requires a lot of tuning to become an answerable query.

I don't disagree with you.
The point I'm trying to make regarding that is that the question was a classic leftist 'gotcha!' ambush and she wasn't ambushed. She felt the trip wire but didn't detonate the mine.

as for the Bush doctrine question even an ABC analysis not in her favor on much else said you could even ask 500 people in DC that work there every day and most could not answer that question especially how it was ask ... but everyone will have their own take on the interview ...
mine was his question of why she didn't think she was being arrogant by accepting the VP position was over the top, but she handled him on that, she did not let him side track her away from her answer 
besides if he thinks she is arrogant for accepting VP what would you call Obama for accepting Prez nomination.....

I've decided that perhaps I was mistaken in my assertion that Mrs. Palin lacks the experience to be Vice President. After viewing the various segments of that interview, I think her coaches and handlers did a fine job, as she sounded...
just like a politician.

Would you expect her to be any different then the rest of them? Just because she comes from Alaska, that doesn't mean she can't perform as well as all the others in D.C.

Perhaps I've missed something? There is nothing in my post to suggest or imply that my opinion of her readiness is based on her governance of a particular state.
As for your question...I don't expect her to be any different than other politicians. However, anyone presenting themselves as a reformer should, by that very characterization, do things that substantiate such a claim. Maybe she has, at other times and in other venues...but not during that interview, at least not to my ears.

She did though and, even connected national security with the stagnated policies in Washington and, said she would work towards reforming those policies as part of an over all security strategy.
GIBSON: But this is not just reforming a government. This is also running a government on the huge international stage in a very dangerous world. When I asked John McCain about your national security credentials, he cited the fact that you have commanded the Alaskan National Guard and that Alaska is close to Russia. Are those sufficient credentials?
PALIN: But it is about reform of government and it’s about putting government back on the side of the people, and that has much to do with foreign policy and national security issues Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that’s with the energy independence that I’ve been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy, that I worked on as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, overseeing the oil and gas development in our state to produce more for the United States.

Sounds like typical sidestepping of the real question to promote a predetermined agenda with a canned answer to me. But what the hey. We've had the oil industry interests running the country for the last 7+ years, and as well as it's going, why would we want to change?

I agree. She did what politicians do. She ducked the question and parsed the answer to fit her agenda. Then again, that is what politicians do. Obama, Biden & McCain do the same thing all the time. All politicians do. It is nothing new or nefarious. What is nefarious, if anything, is that the press allows them to get away with it, by not calling them on it, when they do it.
As for oil companies running the country, I disagree. If they did, we would not be in Iraq, we would be in Venezeula. They are the ones who nationalized the assets of American companies, not the Iraqis. (Iraq did too, but they did it what, 40 or so years ago?) We get about 20% of our oil from Venezuela, which far exceeds what we have ever gotten from Iraq. If the oil companies ran the govenment, they would have a much greater interest down in Venezeula than they ever did in Iraq.

Theblessedone, I need to apologize to you. I certainly did not mean I disagreed with your post (directly before mine) I was totally agreeing with you in that she definitely seemed to have her answers prepared. I will give her one thing on the sections of the interview I had a chance to watch so far, she is good at steering the conversation to where her talking points are, so that she controls the interview the way she wants it to go. I felt she did less to answer my questions (that I had) then to make sure she got said what she was coached to say.

Gibson lied, intentionally butchered video clips and tried to trap her with the "Bush Doctrine" question. The media has pulled out many clips of Gibson referring to the "Bush Doctrine" in completely different terms.
Just another liberal Obama supporter.

I agree. Has any member of the press ever asked that question of Obama or Biden (though of course, it would be phrased as a negative, with oppose being there instead of support.) It was a trap question that he hoped to use to show her lack of knowledge of foreign policy. The thing is, I think that America got that too. It made Gibson look bad, not Palin. After all, how many of you had any idea of what it was that he (Gibson) was referring to by the "Bush Doctrine". I certainly had no idea.

I used to respect Charles Gibson's reporting, but not anymore. I also saw Part 1 and 2 of his interview with Gov. Palin and could see right thru him trying to trip her up or make her feel uncomfortable. He's no different from any of the other "status quo" on the main networks.

He was so condescending that it was painful to watch.
When he asked her - "Do you approve of unauthorized attacks in Pakistand?" I wanted to grab the asshole by the neck and ask him -
How in the F do you know these attacks are unauthorized?
Didn't Barry Obama say that he would go into Pakistan too?
Gibson is a useless fool
