No. The economy is bad because people were too willing to take out money that they could never pay back. And in turn this screwed over the banks who weren't able to get their money.
I know that, thats why im not going to college because theres no point. Whats the point of working hard when in the end you all get the same. Do we really what that change.
IT DOESNT MATTER THAT HE DOEST HAVE EXPERIENCE! LINCOLN HAD COMPARABLE EXPERIENCE TO OBAMA AND HE WAS ARGUABLY THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER. BUSH HAD EXPERIENCE AND HE IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER. PLUS HE HAS BIDEN WHO IS A FOREIGN POLICY GURU. SO YEAH THAT ANSWERS UR QUESTION
People keep saying the candidates are going to die, but Mac's mom is in her 90s and Obama has more Secret Service agents that practically any other politician, from what I've heard.
They both dont get it. They both feel that becuase we are America and we throw money at a problem it goes away, look its not working. Maybe americans what the econmey to rights its self without throwing our money away
obama is not necessarily good at debating. he does use a lot of filler words like "um," can't argue with that...but mccain is worse because he just fumbles and does not sound eloquent in comparison
Obama definitely won that question, because he clearly said why his plan was different than Mac's and spoke a bit about why his was going to help people.
I just dont get it. Isn't the American dream all about being able to become as succesful as you can. With Obama he's saying we wont have any success. instead lets all be average
Mac's little self-promoting anecdotes don't really seem to get him far.
It sounds like Mac's talking about communism when he talks about spreading the wealth around. It sounds like he's promoting communism and calling Obama a socialist. He still hasn't talked about how he's going to help the middle class.
I feel that if your a rich doctor you should voluntire your services to the poor, lawyer give your services to the poor. If you want to but why should be all pay
Todd 1. at least he's wearing a pin unlike mccain 2. what does that have to do with anything?!?! i never said anything about a flag pin so i have NO idea where you pulled that comment out of. 3. if you'd read what i wrote you'd see i'm actually trying to talk about the debate...and about the issues.
mccain needs to quit smirking at obamas comments and quit writing while hes talking, i never see obama laughing at mccains comments and or writing. harvard education vs. McBush
Exactly... I'm not interested in hearing about Mac's hurt feelings. Enough with the pity party. You don't hear Obama saying that his feelings were hurt when he was called a terrorist.
wow what a fricken little girl "let me just say my friends" i don't know what im talking and please don't vote for me because that will be a huge mistake
it's good that obama is addressing the ayers and acorn issues. he's showing the nation that he is hiding nothing. and it's good obama is listing who he associates himself.
It's gonna be impossible for mccain to score any big plays on obama because whenever he tries to build up the intensity of the debate, obama deflates it. His tone and attitude are very calm... oh that was a good add-on about how biden would make a good prez if something happened to barack mccain can't exactly answer to that.
A ROLE MODEL TO WOMEN!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! MORE LIKE AN EMBARRASSMENT!!! SHE IS SETTING WOMEN BACK IN POLITICS IF ANYTHING!!!!!! AH! AND A REFORMER!?!?! YEAH RIGHT. WHAT ARE HER SOCIAL REFORM POLICIES THAT ACTUALLY GIVE PEOPLE THEIR RIGHTS?!?!? OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS MCCAIN!?
You hate Sarah Palin because she's not Hillary. You're obviously intimidated by her, and you and other elitist liberals think that every women needs to think alike on abortion.
Sarah Palin is not a supporter of women. You can't be anti-abortion and call yourself a women's role model. I honestly can't understand that attitude at all.
Should intelligent young women consider Sarah Palin a role model when she cannot even name a single Supreme Court case that she disagrees with or a newspaper that she actually reads? Sarah Palin sets us back because she takes away from the intellect of the modern, American woman. And to say that she is a role model is frankly insulting...I'm pretty sure that women in America can do better than that
obama's trying to be nice because he doesn't want to escalate the debate because if he raises the stakes too much he stands too much to lose if something goes wrong. he would rather have a draw here than risk giving mccain a chance to score big so he will try to be nice and he will try to deflate animosity and intensity
Todd- what is it with people generalizing me and other liberals. you really don't know me at all. sarah palin is not a role model for women. she wants to take their rights away from having control over what is done to their own bodies, their privacy. i'm sorry but the government has no right in telling me what i can and can't do with my body. i am the farthest thing from an elitest. i don't think i'm better than anyone. so todd, next time you choose to generalize about me and liberals, get your facts straight.
haha mccain looks like he's trying hard to control that temper... it's funny tho the thing about this debate and all the other one's there's like no direct conflict... it's like for anything of any magnitude to happen here they need to match up their arguments on an issue... head to head so that one can beat the other down but they're like not matching up
doesn't mccain want to freeze government spending and yet he wants to try and do all these things ? and he also said he doesn't want to prioritize the issues so how is he going to do everything at the same time? i'm confused
now i'll actually get back to the issues. that's the reason we're here. we need to end dependency on foreign oil. it's time to up research in finding alternative energy sources. in the mean time, we need to find a different way to find oil without involving chavez, putin, and the middle east. p.s obama is right about american cars. we need to improve them and open up more factories in the US to create more jobs...what a concept.
Being pro-life doesn't make you a bad person. But she wants to impose her views on the rest of the nation, even on girls who were raped. I don't think that makes her a role model for women. I think that DEFINITELY sets women back if they can't have control over their own bodies. I think it's SO important that people choose for themselves. That is to say, I don't believe abortion should be used as birth control. But I do believe that people should be able to control their own bodies, and I dislike Palin for standing in the way of that.

7:21 PM
http://www.mccainfreewhitehouse.org/?rc=fb
7:21 PM
Saul, honest question...If you're advising Mac, what are you telling him right now 30 minutes out?
7:22 PM

c.Tony Rescoe
7:25 PM
Theory of why the economy is bad
People are giving all of their money to obama, so they dont have enough for other things.
7:27 PM
No. The economy is bad because people were too willing to take out money that they could never pay back. And in turn this screwed over the banks who weren't able to get their money.
7:28 PM
You can't blame Obama for others stupidity/laziness.
7:28 PM
what channel it on?
7:30 PM
elbaum im gonna switch back n forth, but mainly watch CNN because they are much more neutral and then have sick hd
7:31 PM
Saul, You think that's enough for Mac to come back, or do you think it's over?
7:32 PM
get the real facts
http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/
7:33 PM
If he hits him hard it game on, but he's fragile now in his old age so he has trouble putting the gloves on
7:34 PM
that map elbaum showed us says it all.
Saul--The Dems are gonna control the house, senate, and white house!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:36 PM
I know that, thats why im not going to college because theres no point. Whats the point of working hard when in the end you all get the same. Do we really what that change.
7:38 PM
Saul, I hope you make 250K plus after college!
7:39 PM
We all complain about mcains age and health, look at our current leader hes in and out of hospital on a daily basis and he live through he 8 years
7:40 PM
wheres nelly at? if jes not here im leaving
7:41 PM
sual get the heck out of here....im pretty sure income levels are not going to be equal if BO is president. He is no socialist. Get your facts right.
7:41 PM
its not socialist to make sure we all get the same health care, we all have a steak in the counrties banks, and the govt owns peoples homes
7:44 PM
Zach,
Obama is an empty suit. Answer me this question please
WHAT LIFE EXPERIENCE OR ANY EXPERIENCE DOES HE HAVE TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT?
WHAT FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE DOES HE HAVE?
7:50 PM
bush once choked on a peanut and had to be rushed to the hospital
7:52 PM
just for everyone...the debate is streaming live at this website:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/26/video-presidential-debate_n_129765.html
7:52 PM
Mr.E
I forgot he has to hammer ACORN Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and how he gave them $800,000.
7:55 PM
IT DOESNT MATTER THAT HE DOEST HAVE EXPERIENCE! LINCOLN HAD COMPARABLE EXPERIENCE TO OBAMA AND HE WAS ARGUABLY THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER. BUSH HAD EXPERIENCE AND HE IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER. PLUS HE HAS BIDEN WHO IS A FOREIGN POLICY GURU. SO YEAH THAT ANSWERS UR QUESTION
7:56 PM
Lincolns exprince got him killed
7:58 PM
Zach,
Lincoln was a veteran (fought in French and Indian War).
And Lincoln never was President in a Nuclear age and age of Terror. I'd love an Obama type in 1860.
Biden is the answer to foreign policy huh? He's not good, but his VP is????
That's pretty bad man
7:59 PM
Gah, I can't find it online!
7:59 PM
mccains 70+ years of life experience are going to get him killed considering hes about to croke any second now
7:59 PM
Zach,
Typical shallow liberal comment. Making fun of Mac's age.
8:01 PM
Oh, I found it... But CNN is just playing weird music online... I guess it hasn't started... Even though it's 8:01...
8:01 PM
Go time!
8:01 PM
are they sitting becuase Mcdaddy cant stand for that long
8:02 PM
let the games begin.
8:02 PM
eyy guys
8:02 PM
im not making fun of it. im using it as a point showing that the american people should not vote for someone who will most likely die very soon
8:02 PM
People keep saying the candidates are going to die, but Mac's mom is in her 90s and Obama has more Secret Service agents that practically any other politician, from what I've heard.
8:03 PM
Notice how the debate is sponsored by "Commission on Presidential Debates"
no third parties here
8:03 PM
Mac doesn't have a flag pin... *legasp*
8:03 PM
PAINT THE WHITE HOUSE BLACK AND ITS GOT EM TERRIFIED, MCCAIN DONT BELONG IN ANY CHAIR UNLESS HES PARALYZED
8:03 PM
Saul...Mac wants the govt. to buy mad mortgages from PEOPLE..
That's a lot of govt, right?
8:05 PM
For a great speaker he says um alot
8:06 PM
so Obama passes the living room test....
8:06 PM
Mac didn't answer the question! He didn't say WHY his plan was better than Obama's.
8:06 PM
mac looks like a deer in headlights haha
8:07 PM
mac didnt explain why is plan was better
8:07 PM
Here comes the Mac Attack!!!
Bringing up the plumber
8:08 PM
They both dont get it. They both feel that becuase we are America and we throw money at a problem it goes away, look its not working. Maybe americans what the econmey to rights its self without throwing our money away
8:08 PM
obama is not necessarily good at debating. he does use a lot of filler words like "um," can't argue with that...but mccain is worse because he just fumbles and does not sound eloquent in comparison
8:08 PM
for someone who is supposed to be on the attack.....mccain sure stumbles over his words.
8:08 PM
Mac's answer was like the Clinton one for me...
8:09 PM
Obama definitely won that question, because he clearly said why his plan was different than Mac's and spoke a bit about why his was going to help people.
8:10 PM
not at all. it was a cheap replica.
8:11 PM
Mac's putting words in Obamas mouth.
8:11 PM
I just dont get it. Isn't the American dream all about being able to become as succesful as you can. With Obama he's saying we wont have any success. instead lets all be average
8:11 PM
Mac's goin after him hard.. loving it!
You can see the devil horns growing out of his head.
8:11 PM
Mac says Obama is for "class warfare"!!!!
WOW
8:11 PM
joe the plumber is different than warren buffet mac. joe falls in the 95 % who are receiving CUTS.
8:12 PM
Is Joe the plumber the most famous man in Ohio except Lebron?!?!?
8:13 PM
More than 40% dont pay taxes so how do you lower it more, oh right take the hardworking mans money and give them more
8:13 PM
Mac's little self-promoting anecdotes don't really seem to get him far.
It sounds like Mac's talking about communism when he talks about spreading the wealth around. It sounds like he's promoting communism and calling Obama a socialist. He still hasn't talked about how he's going to help the middle class.
8:13 PM
mac just loves to interrupt...
8:13 PM
Good point by mac about the possibility of business leaving because taxes are so hgh here
8:14 PM
For sure huck,
business skyrocketed for JOE
8:14 PM
he is absolutely correct. americans have been spending a ton more than they actually have.
8:15 PM
Ariel
Obama never wore a flag lapel pin during the primaries when he was appealing to the far left (remember elbaum's discussion of zones?)
Now he does.
FLIP FLOPPER
8:16 PM
Just like the prior debates, BO cannot name a specific issue/policy that he'll have to cut as a result of the econ downturn and rescue package
8:16 PM
GREAT commment about young people/college/driving economy into the 21st century.
8:17 PM
I feel that if your a rich doctor you should voluntire your services to the poor, lawyer give your services to the poor. If you want to but why should be all pay
8:17 PM
Huck,
He just said he's cut subsidies to insurance companies
8:18 PM
MAC - just like BO - won't give a definite example of something he must cut -- "Spending Freeze"??
8:18 PM
Mac FINALLY came up with a scalpel/hatchet come-back, but it's not effective because he should have thought of it ages ago.
8:18 PM
I spoke too soon, Schiefer pushed them both on it --- good job Bob!!!!
8:19 PM
Todd
1. at least he's wearing a pin unlike mccain
2. what does that have to do with anything?!?! i never said anything about a flag pin so i have NO idea where you pulled that comment out of.
3. if you'd read what i wrote you'd see i'm actually trying to talk about the debate...and about the issues.
8:20 PM
Mac just gave numerous specific examples of what he would cut..
8:20 PM
Obama on message,
Mac=Bush
Mac=Buch
Mac=Bush
over and over
Effective
8:20 PM
you can't balance the budget in only four years.
8:20 PM
Obama looks at Mac when Mac talks...
Obama is RIGHT when he says a spending freeze won't work. Certain programs NEED funding.
Here he goes with criticizing Bush and trying to connect Mac to Bush...
8:20 PM
Bush is Not Mcain nice hit
8:21 PM
"Senator Obama, I am not President Bush" ... Mac Attack!!!!
8:21 PM
Mac's had enough of that Bush comparison I guess
8:21 PM
well now people know that mccain isn't bush...that was good.
8:21 PM
he can say it...doesn't mean he isn't mcbush.
8:21 PM
OOOOHHHH... Mac just said he's NOT Bush. Nice.
8:21 PM
although i want obama, mac is going strong i must admit
8:22 PM
Mac is bush
90 percent of the time!!!
8:22 PM
i think mac will attack and he is, but i dont think this is gonna be a field goal with 1 second left in the game on a blown defensive assignment
8:22 PM
yea i agree.. no flag pin.
BO is kind of giving that condescending smile, but Mac's attacking hard
8:22 PM
We cant look at obamas record becuase he hasnt done anything
8:22 PM
Mac has got attitude.......
HE NEEDS TO CALM DOWN!!!!!!
8:22 PM
Boo-Yah Mac!!! Obama stands up against his party - get off that soapbox...
8:23 PM
clever joke about fox news hahaha
8:23 PM
heh.. i'm feeling the "prevent" defense from BO here.. he seems to be holding his ground though.
8:23 PM
you can tell when mccain is angry... he blinks excessively!
8:24 PM
Mac is coming after Obama, but Obama defends himself well.
8:24 PM
Vlad Moldavskiy has joined the blog.
8:24 PM
Mac's got scars to prove he's stood up to leaders of his own party...i'd like to see that
8:25 PM
obama had a great rebuttle however
8:25 PM
mccain needs to quit smirking at obamas comments and quit writing while hes talking, i never see obama laughing at mccains comments and or writing. harvard education vs. McBush
who would you rather have
8:25 PM
fantastic question...
the gloves are comin off...
8:25 PM
I LOVE this question.
8:26 PM
Mac on the attack but in a respectful way, so far. Would you agree Ariel?
8:26 PM
Mac has to attack!
8:26 PM
elbaum when u were in washington who did u intern for
8:27 PM
its a fact, that mccain's hair is whiter than my drywall
8:27 PM
theres the matching funds comment
8:27 PM
yeah obama didn't repudiate that mccain segregates but palin didn't repudiate that obama's a terrorist!
8:27 PM
public financing...right out of class!!!
8:27 PM
Mac barely looks at BO .. BO stares at Mac
8:28 PM
Mac didn't answer the question, he just tried to tell people that he thinks Obama is inconsiderate. SUBTLE negativity, but negativity still.
8:28 PM
the gloves are completely off this is a fight to the death
8:29 PM
his attack is weak in my opinion elbaum i mean honestly and i agree with mccoy. where was palin shooting down the terrorist claims eh mac?
8:29 PM
why are avoiding my question of who you interned for in washington. was it hary reid
8:29 PM
elbaum...what r 527s?!?!?!
8:29 PM
Good call McCoy
8:30 PM
Exactly... I'm not interested in hearing about Mac's hurt feelings. Enough with the pity party. You don't hear Obama saying that his feelings were hurt when he was called a terrorist.
8:30 PM
BO didnt go anywhere near that question...
8:30 PM
Obama didn't answer the question at all
8:30 PM
LMAO DALLAS COWBOYS AND ARIZONA CARDINALS REFERENCE
haha that was a good game though
and now they got roy williams
8:31 PM
Huck, I agree.
Obama is dancing because his ads are all negative
8:31 PM
MCCAIN IS AN IMMATURE 3 YEARS OLD
8:32 PM
sarah palin.....blech
TAKE HIM DOWN OBAMA! where were you mccain and palin to tell america that what was said at that rally was wrong?!?!
8:32 PM
god john mccain is so ignorant he thinks he is always right and everybody else is wrong
8:33 PM
mccain needs to wait his turn. stop interrupting.
8:33 PM
mccain needs to shut up and let obama speak
8:33 PM
here comes Bill Ayers & Reverend Wright!!!
8:33 PM
wow what a fricken little girl "let me just say my friends" i don't know what im talking and please don't vote for me because that will be a huge mistake
8:33 PM
Go, Obama! Stick to the issues.
8:34 PM
Mac turned Obama's comments into a "he hates veterans" bit.
Hmmm
8:34 PM
so he's proud of people calling presidential nominees terrorists? cool mac real cool.
8:34 PM
he doesn't even know what his point is
8:34 PM
Why cant we all get long like rodney kings whants
8:35 PM
this is a bad question. america wants to hear the issues.
8:35 PM
Mac's upset about t-shirts worn at an Obama rally? I believe freedom of expression is one of our Constitutional rights..
8:35 PM
This Moderator stinks!!!
8:36 PM
Obama is trying to say neutral things to get agreement...Mac wants action
8:36 PM
MAC BRINGS UP ACORN!
Saul, are you clapping right now?
8:36 PM
and ACORN too ... Mac wants to do anything but talk about the issues. BO wants to do anything but talk about avyers, Wright & ACORN.
8:36 PM
its not about freedom of expression its about right vs wrong
8:36 PM
This conversation is a dead end!
8:36 PM
the accusations that Mac is making are far below the belt
8:36 PM
We make fun of palin for reherssing his aryes response has been rehearsed for amonth
8:37 PM
it's good that obama is addressing the ayers and acorn issues. he's showing the nation that he is hiding nothing.
and it's good obama is listing who he associates himself.
8:39 PM
Pat,
It is NOT below the belt to question BOs charachter.
Friends with terrorists is pretty scary dude
8:39 PM
Obama's defense is really strong. And Mac is doing the condescending smile. UGH!
8:39 PM
Mac should focus on Obama's associations with people on issues that are actually relevant.
8:39 PM
oh really mccain????????? the main goal of your campaign is to help our economy?????? REALLY?????
FINALLY we get a black president.... GOODNIGHT.
8:40 PM
MOTOR VOTERS!!!
8:40 PM
Let's see if BO attacks Palin here
8:40 PM
oh this will be great... i picked my running mate because she is a girl!! now there is a smart choice
8:40 PM
yay Joe Biden! what an expert.
8:40 PM
but billy the bigger issues at hand (i.e. the economy/foreign policy) have little to do with Obama's personal relationships.
8:41 PM
i'm anxious to hear mccain's comment on palin. haha
8:41 PM
Will Mac bring up Rev. Wright?
8:41 PM
hahaha "i thought i could get the hilary vote by picking palin...."
FAIL.
8:41 PM
Mr.E did he or didnt he start his caimpaing in bill aryes lviving room when running for state senate with a fund raiser or somthing like that
8:42 PM
at the rate he's going hes bound to...he's brought up several other figures in Obama's life
8:42 PM
palin is not a role model for women ..
8:42 PM
It's gonna be impossible for mccain to score any big plays on obama because whenever he tries to build up the intensity of the debate, obama deflates it. His tone and attitude are very calm... oh that was a good add-on about how biden would make a good prez if something happened to barack mccain can't exactly answer to that.
8:43 PM
she resigned away from the problem and didnt face it? thats some reform there
8:43 PM
A ROLE MODEL TO WOMEN!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! MORE LIKE AN EMBARRASSMENT!!! SHE IS SETTING WOMEN BACK IN POLITICS IF ANYTHING!!!!!! AH! AND A REFORMER!?!?! YEAH RIGHT. WHAT ARE HER SOCIAL REFORM POLICIES THAT ACTUALLY GIVE PEOPLE THEIR RIGHTS?!?!? OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS MCCAIN!?
8:43 PM
Ariel
You hate Sarah Palin because she's not Hillary. You're obviously intimidated by her, and you and other elitist liberals think that every women needs to think alike on abortion.
8:43 PM
BREATH OF FRESH AIR, mccain, breath of fresh air
8:44 PM
Sarah Palin is not a supporter of women. You can't be anti-abortion and call yourself a women's role model. I honestly can't understand that attitude at all.
8:44 PM
She understands special needs families because she has a kid with Downs Syndrome --- why the statement about Autism? A gaffe...?
8:44 PM
obama is trying to be nice hahaha. he really can't find anything good to say about palin.
8:44 PM
Is this because he feel shes better than bO
8:45 PM
:/ qualified to be president? ehhh i think that would be a big reach for palin right now...
8:45 PM
john mccain nailed there! good job obama
8:45 PM
this country cannot be run on hormones cough palin cough
8:45 PM
becca,
being pro life doesn't make you a bad person or bad leader or set women back
8:45 PM
Should intelligent young women consider Sarah Palin a role model when she cannot even name a single Supreme Court case that she disagrees with or a newspaper that she actually reads? Sarah Palin sets us back because she takes away from the intellect of the modern, American woman. And to say that she is a role model is frankly insulting...I'm pretty sure that women in America can do better than that
8:45 PM
Did Mac really just use the word "cock-a-mame" in a Presidential debate?
8:46 PM
I actually do think Palin is a role model to women
8:46 PM
obama should have torn palin apart... hes playin the prevent D
8:46 PM
obama's trying to be nice because he doesn't want to escalate the debate because if he raises the stakes too much he stands too much to lose if something goes wrong. he would rather have a draw here than risk giving mccain a chance to score big so he will try to be nice and he will try to deflate animosity and intensity
8:46 PM
I agree with those like Alejandro who said that Obama is trying to slow the tempo...a tie is a win
8:46 PM
Todd-
what is it with people generalizing me and other liberals. you really don't know me at all. sarah palin is not a role model for women. she wants to take their rights away from having control over what is done to their own bodies, their privacy. i'm sorry but the government has no right in telling me what i can and can't do with my body. i am the farthest thing from an elitest. i don't think i'm better than anyone. so todd, next time you choose to generalize about me and liberals, get your facts straight.
8:47 PM
Obama is not going to raise taxes on the middle class. He's going to tighten loopholes on corporate tax laws. That's what will pay for his programs.
8:47 PM
pro-life....what gives any person, male or female, the right to determine what another woman chooses to do with HER OWN body?
8:47 PM
Obama is laughing at Mac...Who's condensecening now???
8:48 PM
haha mccain looks like he's trying hard to control that temper... it's funny tho the thing about this debate and all the other one's there's like no direct conflict... it's like for anything of any magnitude to happen here they need to match up their arguments on an issue... head to head so that one can beat the other down but they're like not matching up
8:48 PM
ariel and todd(?)
we alll need to calm down
8:49 PM
doesn't mccain want to freeze government spending and yet he wants to try and do all these things ? and he also said he doesn't want to prioritize the issues so how is he going to do everything at the same time? i'm confused
8:49 PM
10 years? that seems a little long
8:49 PM
we can't drill ourselves out of the problem because soon enough there's going to be nothing left to drill.
8:50 PM

now i'll actually get back to the issues. that's the reason we're here. we need to end dependency on foreign oil. it's time to up research in finding alternative energy sources. in the mean time, we need to find a different way to find oil without involving chavez, putin, and the middle east.
p.s obama is right about american cars. we need to improve them and open up more factories in the US to create more jobs...what a concept.

Being pro-life doesn't make you a bad person. But she wants to impose her views on the rest of the nation, even on girls who were raped. I don't think that makes her a role model for women. I think that DEFINITELY sets women back if they can't have control over their own bodies. I think it's SO important that people choose for themselves. That is to say, I don't believe abortion should be used as birth control. But I do believe that people should be able to control their own bodies, and I dislike Palin for standing in the way of that.
