 ABC News anchor Charles Gibson will interview vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin Thursday night on the evening news. At an April debate, Gibson pulled no punches with Barack Obama and put him in a full-nelson asking him about issues that he felt the people needed to know about. The LA Times asked readers for their opinions on questions that Gibson should ask Palin. Here are their suggestions:
* You have been skeptical that global warming is caused by humans. On what basis do you reject the scientific consensus that fossil fuels and human activity have contributed to climate change? * You asked the librarian in your town about the policy for banning books. Are there books you think should be kept from the public? * You have claimed credit for killing the "bridge to nowhere," the $398-million link between Ketchikan and Gravina Island. Didn't you support it until it was clear Congress was not willing to pay for the much-ridiculed project? * You have said students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of evolution. Should creationism be taught alongside evolution in the public schools? Do you believe in evolution? * What's at the root of the terrorist problem in Pakistan? And how would you make progress, which has eluded the Bush administration, in that dangerous country? * Your opponents claim you and McCain would just extend the Bush administration for another four years. Cite three instances in which you have differed with the president.
Question: What question(s) would you like Charles Gibson to ask Sarah Palin? |

 Larry Blumberg is looking for a few good Jews to move to his corner of the Bible Belt. Blumberg is chairman of an organization offering Jewish families as much as $50,000 to relocate to Dothan, Alabama, an overwhelmingly Christian town of 58,000 that calls itself the Peanut Capital of the World. Get involved at Temple Emanu-El and stay at least five years, the group's leaders say, and the money doesn't have to be repaid. More Jews are living in the South than ever — about 386,000 at last count in 2001, according to Stuart Rockoff, a historian at the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life in Jackson, Miss. But young Jews are leaving small places like Dothan in favor of cities like Atlanta and Birmingham, Rockoff said, and dozens of small-town synagogues have closed.
Question: What do you think of this tactic to get Jewish families to move to this small southern town - good idea or bad idea? |

 If a candidate for President or VP profess to be a man or woman of the people, fighting for the common, everyday Americans and their economic concerns, are their spending habits and those of their spouse’s fair game for criticism? McCain/Palin have dubbed Obama an elitist, yet he wears off the rack suits and has holes in his shoes; his wife’s dress, which she wore for her speech was $900. McCain’s suits are considerably more expensive and his shoes are $600 a pair; Cindy McCain wore a $3000 dress and over $300,000 worth of jewelry.
Question: When all is said and done, which Presidential candidate do you think is most in touch with everyday folks?

Editor's Note: We are giving you a break from the hard-core political issues since it's Friday. Here's a fun one.... Barack Obama and Sarah Palin have at least one thing in common: cute seven-year-olds! The Democratic Senator and Republican Governor are both making political history with their respective parties in this year's election. With the relative youth each brings to his or her ticket, it's not shocking that both have young kids - including daughters born in 2001! Question: Who do you think is cuter, Sasha Obama or Piper Palin? |
