"Cheap shots?" I think not. She tooks shots at them, true, but they were good shots, IMHO. I think "cheap shots" are more like questioning somebody's ability to lead just because they've "only" served on the PTA, as mayor of a no-name podunk somewhere in a back woods state, and Governor of that same state. I think "cheap shots" are questioning somebody's parenting abilities because their daughter went out and did what daughters all over the world sometimes do, regardless of their up-bringing. I think questioning a woman's ability to parent if they're running for V.P. a cheap shot, sexist and offensive.

Btw: I'm an independent.

You really will grab at literally anything, won't you?

sck5, your man hasn't actually done anything of consequence that wasn't something that furthered himself. Here comes a pair of people, each of whom has, and you've got nothing. That's gotta sting .

Did I mention I'm an independent?

Not a big fan of McCain. Probably won't vote for him. But if somebody was to put a gun to my head, telling me I had to choose McCain or Obama, I'd go with McCain & Palin w/o a second's hesitation.
