Palin Power
Thursday saw part one of Charlie Gibson's interview on ABC with Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin.
And, it turns out that ABC took in some high ratings.
People are really fascinated by this Palin chick and what she has to say - or not say!
According to the Nielsen Media Research, World News With Charles Gibson averaged 9.7 million viewers and a 2.5 rating/10 share in adults 18-49 on Thursday.
That's the highest viewed episode since last February.
ABC News' Nightline even outdid The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and David Letterman's show in the ratings.
Even ABCNews.com got a huge boost in traffic thanks to the set of interview clips they had up there.
They got 3 million page views, including 600,000 streaming videos for the interview.
Will people get tired of Palin any time soon?

Will The Chicks Heart This Flick?
Can't Touch This?
Sick of her already
WHOREBITCHSLUT
she's great. smart and competent.
Tired of hearing about her
Andy, swimstud, harrybals, harrysnatch, and hottie…..and whoever else Im forgettin….have a great weekend i love you, be safe
*kisses and cumshots*
People probably just want to wait and hear what her views are. If McCain does die, we need to know who our next president may be. I think it's good that she's doing these interviews.
dear God…why?
people wanna watch and see what they dig up on her. not really any news there.
Everyone check out Youtube and see all the MOUNTING evidence that Sarah Palin is baby Trig's Grandmother NOT mother!!!
Re: abercorey – have a great weekend sweety. miss you already. licks and hugs
Cannot stand this woman.
nasty cunt
Yeah woman power.Bahbahabaha
i'm glad a woman is having her turn at the top… no matter if she's republican or democrat……
Will people get tired of Palin any time soon?
Nope! Sorry, Perez but, she's here to stay!
***McCain/Palin '08***
I am tired of her and all this election crap already. Actually I was tired of it months ago.
It;s the fascination of watching a ten-car pile-up on the highway. They'll tire when the newness of having mom-next-door making an ass of herself in front of seasoned reports wears thin. Palin's popularity only reflects the weakness of McCain's standing. They've countered Barack's pretty face with hers. Tho without the lipstick, she's be just another pre-menopausal porker.
i wanna see her naked… what is my name?
They're not tired of her because they don't know anything about her. Let her do more interviews and people will get just as bored with her as we are of most other politicians.
Sarah is Grandma not mother of lil Trig– check out Youtube for mounting evidence.
Absolutely! People are curious because we do not know her views on the important issues!!
How do they not realize that we only watch out of morbid fascination??? LOL This bitch is a JOKE!
Good for her! She is great and hopefully will be the next VP. McCain Palin !!
GO SARAH! Obamanation, take note this woman will be the reason McCain/Palin will win this election, and all the Democrats will wonder…"What if we had picked Hillary?" WHAT A BLUNDER. As an Independent voter, I was shocked the Hillary was left out, and would have considered a Obama/Clinton ticket, but Biden is as far left as Obama….no balance. McCain is the most moderate Republican since Eisenhower, and he's what America needs right now, not some junior senator who won his seat by default and a "community organizer" OMG what kool-aid are you guys drinking? At least the majority of Americans now see through the Obama scam.
FASCINATED, NO! CURIOUS TO SEE A TRAIN WRECK, YES!!!
get used to hearing about your next vp …. for the next 8 years
Fascination with trainwrecks never ends. Oh and also she could be the next prez. None will vote for her or McCain will get rid of her eventually.
I'm sick of her already. It's the media that's so damn fascinated with her. The more they keep her in the limelight the less relevant McCant will be. He cant buy a crowd to see him speak unless she's there!
She'll get hers at the VP debates–perhaps then she can brush up on what exactly the Bush Doctrine is.
Re: Penelope Palin – This is NOT a beauty contest, dumbass, it's a presidential election….and your Biden is such a looker…LOL
Re: kendoll3000 – that's a pretty sad statement about your candidate's competence…if an unknown woman can schlepp his old ass back into the lime-light. Maybe they should have just put lipstick on McCain…if it's sheer shock-value his party is going for….
Re: OBAMA 08 – what's that terrible sound?
.
oh, it's the obama campaigntrainwreck
.
check the latest ratings…
She is awesome
and any people talking about conspiracy theory you are mentally ill, the people I knew who got into that where all paranoid schizo's
Re: Blackacid Betty – She's going to wipe the floor with Biden, he has always had a tendancy to blow up under pressure and his liberal voting record is second only to Obama, America will not stand for that. Bring on the debates!!!! I can't wait!!!
Just because they are fascinated with the hook-nosed hussy, doesn't mean that they agree with her hate mongering, uninformed political agenda!!
Re: Blackacid Betty – she'll get hers from…. biden?
.
his nickname is
1-foot-per-day-in -mouth
SARAH PALIN FOR PRESIDENT 2012!
I find Palin interesting, she is an outdoorsy woman and loves fishing, hiking etc. I love all those things being that I am from Yosemite, but I dont think she is qualified/ready to run this country, but I am all for McCain =) This election is gonna suck, although they are better than Osama and Bin Laden-Biden whatever the fuck their names are hahaha
Sick of here now, but won't be truly tired until Nov. 5
This bitch needs to go back to Alaska and raise her red neck family; nobody wants her to be VP. I’m all for women rights but she just would not make a good leader or be capable of representing us rightfully with her republican believes….but I guess the only thing that intrigues us and has us coming for are all her dirty little secrets lol we want them all exposed!
thats because every man in America tuned in to masturbate
it's like… you're at the zoo, you watch the monkeys. they always do something humiliating or repulsive to themselves - you've seen the videos. then you giggle and move on to the serious stuff - maybe the lions or the tigers. but the monkeys always come first.
and kendoll3000 - i don't know what you've dropped in your koolaid, but you should cut back a bit. hillary would be appalled to find out that you had the audacity to compare her to this airhead.
im sick of her if she and mccain win i will have to jump out a bldg
I highly recommend everyone watch the ABC interview so that you can see how completely incompetent she is for the position.
She is confused by big words, doesn't even understand the meaning of Hubris, does not know what the "Bush Doctrine" is, and believes that being able to see parts of Russia from Alaska somehow fits on a foreign policy resume.
She would actually be a step backwards for woman's Lib and a blow to real women of merit.
Re: kendoll3000 – Only thing she's gonna wipe is her ass from shittin' under pressure. I agree with you on something….yes…please….BRING ON THE DEBATES!!!
Obama/Biden 08!!!
Ugh. I'm so bored with her. *Rolls eyes*
her fifteen minutes is almost up!!!
Re: secondcoming – Where have you been this past week. Palin is a fool who will be put in her place. No one knew jack shit about this chick till Mclame announced she would be his running mate..of course there's going to be high ratings.
The bitch is a one trick pony….Charley caught her in so many 'duh”s she's ready to go to war with Russia? Is she out of her bloody mind? Alaska is close to Russia, so that is her foreign policy cred's
Heaven help us all if McCain gets in office
a phony celebrity is there ever was one.
Peresito,
The answer to your question is a resounding NO.
Re: UberBling – anything under 4 stories is painful, after that it doesn't matter… don't forget that
Re: kendoll3000 – Quit snorting Cheetos for a minute and reread my post - the PYT play-off is between Obama and Palin. Obama was being treated like a celeb (remember the comparisons to Britney…from the McCain front?), so the Repubes fought back with a poster-girl for the Depends crowd…of which I take it you're one. Now, take your pallid little pecker in hand, give it a yank for Palin, and go suck on some moose-jerky.
She's exciting, intelligent, witty, and exuberant. People like that, they like that she's new and interesting.
…….that being said, she's still a freaking psycho and I wonder how long it will take people to really look at her political viewpoints and realize that!
My mom loves her, and I think it's because she's an attractive, successful woman. My mom has no idea that she's pro big oil, anti-gay, anti-stem cell research and all that stuff!
Siiiiigh…I wish people would vote based on who's the best person for the job rather than who can but on the best fireworks display.
Re: bobbytomorow – every man over 65.
Re: LordKain – but most people like her, haventcha noticed
Would have been better without all the editing (makes me wonder what was left on the cutting-room floor) and without Charlie Gibson looking like he was sucking on a lemon the whole entire time.
Re: lick – I didn't compare her, I just think Hillary is more to the middle than Biden…and we're voting for the top of the ticket anyway…McCain is far more moderate and independent than Bush, look up his voting record and the legislation he has co-sponsored with democrats…your boy Obama hasn't sponsored or co-sponsored ANYTHING!
people are just waiting to see how she'll put her foot into her mouth next…
IM SICK OF SARAH PALIN and this way the rest of the country will get there too!!
Well, 1) she came out of no where, 2) this is the first time there is a female VP in a top political parties, and 3) the gossip surrounding her and her family is very juicy. So, people are curious. It's only human nature.
absolutely sick of her. i think she looks retarded in that picture as well. do you think she even knows what a tool she is? she looks like that bitch principal you had in elementary school. I personally do not feel she represents women. Piglin is a fucking joke.
Re: Penelope Palin – you are so classy…eff you, you libs love to resort to name calling….it's called DESPERATION, and your true colors are shining right through. Check out realclearpolitics.com and weep
No we will not get sick of her. The one i am fucking sick of is Obama and his idiot wife. For this election i am a Republican. Ignoring Hillary has made me hate the democrats. I will never ever vote for Obama. Republicans 08.
Um, pretty tired of her. She's a novelty and will wear off soon enough. As evidenced by her interview with Charlie Gibson, she's been fed answers…"hear this, say that"…and doesn't know squat about what her running mate's agenda is.
This is going to be the longest 7 1/2 weeks ever!!
Re: kendoll3000 – #58
AND Obama was a holdout on legislation that would require doctors to provide medical treatment for babies who manage to survive abortions. You don't hear him campaigning on THAT one. lol.
Re: Ammie – maybe you weren't born yet, but Geraldine Ferraro was the VPpick in 1984 for the dems….JEEZE get a clue!
It's like a train wreck, it's hard not to look.
Re: Penelope Palin –
yeah, your right, even the old men tuned in to masturbate for the first time in years, thats how hot she is
Re: secondcoming – No, check again. Most people DON'T like her. Only been 2 weeks and people are already sick of this "Soccermom". Palin is a hasbeen who never was……and it only took people 2 weeks to learn that.
Sad.
And in a related story, Joe Biden was seen at a train depot…rocking back and forth … muttering "I'm a good boy…I'm a good boy… I like trains…. choo choo …"
Nope. I love her, and she will be America's next VP!
Re: Smirks – OMG did't know that one….nice!
Re: LordKain – watch how many people tune into the second interview then tell me who's tired of her
Re: kendoll3000 – As I recall, the other KenDoll is dickless, plastic and doesn't sell as well as Barbie. Kinda like McCain and Palin.
Re: Penelope Palin – and they didn't need their vi-ag-ra
Re: ganjaburrito – not my principal…
.
this would be a pilf though
let's lear away the hype fumes for aminute… ask yourselves this: if this were a MAN who had been the mayor of a town of about 5,000 (at the time he was mayor) then the governor for less than two years of a state with a population count of memphis, Tennessee — during which time he was under investigation for abuse of power and ethics violations — woul he be treated the same way??.. or even taken seriously?? Of course he wouldn't.
.
If the above man also thought dinosaurs walked the earth 4, 000 years ago And believed that a rape victim should be forced to carry the result of the rape, and dismissed environmental science categorically, AND was so foaming at the mouth in favor of the aerial slaughter of wolves from that he put out a $150 bounty per wolf so his NRA buddies had more moose to shoot… would he be treated the same way?? Of course not.
.
The right wing nuts and the people who are amazed that this gimmick could even get this far watch to see what the craven wierdo is going to say next. High rating for a televised speech don't mean she desreves to be Vice President of the United States.
Tired of her!
that arrogant prick, Charles Gibson, edited the stuff she said to make her look like a religious fanatic. THEN he didn't even know what HE was talking about when he used the term "Bush doctrine" and used the WRONG definition for it. Charles Krauthammer, the man who INVENTED the term and definied it, says that Gibson was WRONG and didn't get any of it right AT ALL. IT was another case of media manipulation- and she STILL managed to carry it off just fine. She is very smart, very competent, so much so that the libs even put up fake web sites to try to spread stuff. Look at the sexist comments on this site? She is very brave to run in the face of all this crap.
Chick, was your mother a Chick, or just a mutherf.
I'm already tired of her. The novelty wore off right after her first scripted speech with the carefully placed pauses and good ol' girl grins.
Re: Agent 99 & 1/2 – ~WORD~ !!!!!!!
Ya gotta love the liberal hypocracy…. we've had freakin' Obama pushed down our throats for 16 months, and 2 weeks of Palin and they're complaining. At least she knows what she's talking about.
Do you really think that the US is going to elect a muslim president?
The rating I will assume are because she is such an unlikely candidate, that history has never seen before.
.
For anyone to be the potential leader of the US, why not tune in and watch. It is important to understand these people where they come from and where they plan on taking the country if they are elected.
.
The entire world is curious…
Re: Agent 99 & 1/2 – one star fades, another is born.
.
she's taken obama's spotlight and isn't giving it back
SP has no clue on how to run a country, household or her personal life. But simple minded ppl will still vote for this bulldog hockey mom.
Perez it iriitates me how you think high rating means a good thing all the time. Americans what to know whats going on. We watch PALIN/MCSAME to listen to the lies they tell on a daily basis. We watch to see what these people are throwing out there as to how to want to run OUR country. Palin got high rating and now the world knows what a compete IDIOT she is. She cant run her own state but she ready to run a country. Maybe she'll put the country on e-bay
Re: kendoll3000 – Google "Born Alive Bill Obama". It's really true!
Re: Cherry Bomb – Cherry, seriously - if she were running on the democratic ticket - there's be nothing left of the poor woman by now but a tufr of hair, a blob of lipstick, a size-20 poop-shoot from all the reamings, and a whiff of moose. The republicans had to pull a rabbit out of their hat and they did…or a Bunny…wait, was she a Hooter's girl, a Bunny, well - something with a sah.
uh oh just out…
.
in the third ABC interview palin says obama's regretting not taking hillary as vp…
.
then she's praising the daylights out of hillary, clever!
.
what's that whooshing sound
.
oh, the tide of women voters flooding over to mccain/palin
Re: Penelope Palin – fuck sake…a TUFT of hair, a SASH…all the love vibes on this page are making my fingers want to diddle my Palin voodoo moose-meat puppet instead of spell-check.
Don't be disrespectful "Palin chick " is NOT nice for someone running to be VP of USA!
Re: Kareem Awheet – Yep. And put some COLOR in the White house while they're at it. Yee-fuckin'-haw!
Re: Penelope Palin – ur in a nasty mood- u on the rag?
GO SARAH….WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Re: Penelope Palin – yeah, good luck with that LOSER!
NObama…never gonna happen!
Re: secondcoming –
Hmmm…. wonder how Gibson and crew will edit that one? Wonder if he still looks like he has a load in his pants for that segment? Can't wait to watch!
-
McCain/Palin '08!
Re: secondcoming – Yeah, gonna go deep-fat fry me some Twinkies and get a six pack of Lone Star beer. If that fails, I'll install a Valium-lick near my laptop before I log on to perez….
Sarah Palin is the anti-Christ!!! She's preaching about family values, or just values period? Seriously? Yeah…she's the epitome of the hypocrisy that plagues this country. She makes me sick. Anyone who condones prejuidice of any kind or is an advocate for the banning of books or anything that promotes individual thought is undeserving of the very rights that this country was founded on. I know she's entitled to her opinions, but honestly, why can't they be intelligent ones?
I love seeing this train wreck of a woman. It's just too good to watch the hockey mom lying and not knowing basic American history. It's like seeing a pile up on the freeway - you don't want to look - you just have to.
When they lose this election….I hope she sticks around and becomes the new Ann Coulter….a few bad books, some talk shows and something to laugh at. She is the ultimate reality TV show! Where did they find this nut job?
