From everything we have heard and seen of Governor Palin, she's a woman who's supremely uninterested in the world around her.

I never got -- I never heard an answer from that in that exchange. Do you know what her position is as President of the United States?

Hillary Clinton. Just off the top of my head, I would say he took on -- he took on Hillary Clinton and beat him, who is a minor figure in the Democratic Party.

Joe Biden, another one right off the top of my head or John Edwards.

America, do you want change or do you want more of the same?

McCain has vowed to continue the policies of this administration. He says he and Bush agree on every single big thing.

Every day that the McCain people get up they're going to say, 'What kind of thing can we use to distract people's attention?' And Obama's got to bring it back. That's the key to his success.

If it gets worse, you get out.

The Katrina evacuation was actually very successful. Like 80 percent of the people were evacuated. I think they'll be fine.

Remember, there's a lot fewer people in the city now than there was in -- three years ago. So that would help, too. But hopefully, you know, the levees will hold.

I think, among social conservatives, she's going to be fine. She endorsed Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. And he's a hero to social conservatives.

I think Senator Obama is going to surprise us.

I think he wants to scramble the jets here, and that's just a guess. But I'll go ahead and make that prediction.

I have a sense that Senator McCain's ultimate pick for vice president is somebody that we're not discussing.

I think Senator Obama will reassure us with his pick. I think Senator McCain is going to surprise us.

One of us will be right. You know what? If I'm wrong, it will be the third time in my life that's ever happened.

It seems to me that Senator Obama's strategy, since early June, has been about reassurance.

I think Barack Obama is having his way this week. I mean, he's got a golden glow.

The truth of the matter is, is that McCain's response to this trip has not been very effective at all.

McCain just seems frustrated. They seem angry. And they seem to be doing stupid things, in a time when Obama is having a very good week.

The truth of the matter is that, McCain's response to this trip has not been very effective at all.

It is possible to call -- to say something about John McCain, who is a war hero. That doesn't mean you're unpatriotic.

The problem is, he can't get the yoke of the Bush administration and these disastrous right-wing policies from around his neck.

Of course it's satire. And it's a magazine that has a long, rich and illustrative history of using satire.

Being a fighter pilot doesn't qualify you to be president. I think he was absolutely right.
