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?
