Friday Poll: Which tech gadget is Palin?
News.com Poll
In the wake of Thursday night's vice presidential debate, we return to the important question only you the voters (or you, the underage reader, or you the foreign reader, or you the felon) can answer. Since we started with Barack Obama in the Crave presidential gadget poll before turning to John McCain, we'll give first jabs...er dibs, to Gov. Sarah Palin.
Got any ideas other than the options mentioned in our highly scientific poll? Let us know in our talkback section below. And if you have suggestions for next week's Joe Biden poll, be sure to send them my way at ina dot fried at cnet dot com.
During her years at CNET News, Ina Fried has changed beats several times, changed genders once, and covered both of the Pirates of Silicon Valley. These days, most of her attention is focused on Microsoft. E-mail Ina. 
And an average person is smart enough to be trusted with a weapon. Our military met and women are mostly average people doing extra ordinary job, and they are all trusted with weapons.
That must be why we hand them out to soldiers.
.223 is pretty dangerous once it starts tumbling around inside your body or head...and that big, fat section behind the bullet? That's a lot of powder, and hence power.
Claiming that any caliber of rife is "not that dangerous" is ridiculous. You can kill someone with a .22 air rifle if you try hard enough.
Let me guess - you own a gun. Oh, joy.
And yes, I do own a gun, many guns actually.
Isn't that kind of like having a phone that won't make calls?
Never said anything about not being dangerous at all. Come to think of it, driving a car is dangerous too. So it riding a motorcycle. In fact, anything you do has some level of danger. But a comment by electronista saying "ultimately far too dangerous to be trusted with the average person! " is uncalled for. That is what I was refering to in the first place. I'm sorry, but I think all of you should be insulted (unless you're not an average person and a genius). Handling a gun is not difficult. They can teach uneducated farmers from 3rd world countries to fire a gun safely, but I guess people in the US are not to be trusted with them.
Please...
Maybe she's like a talking Hallmark card--she's able to repeat everything she's been told.
No, no. I've got it. She's Sabrina--Barbie's dark haired friend. But there's nothing tech about that gadget is there?
I chose the Speak & Spell, although she's provided no evidence she can do the latter. I think I chose the gadget she' s most likely able to use rather than the one she most resembles.
Thanks, I was in need of a good laugh.
Then Obama would be Microsoft Windows (or a PC running windows)? Promises all these great features but has absolutely no means of delivering them?
OK
I don't see any BIDEN gadget questionaires going up.
This is the type of indoctinating brainwashing that our children get from the NEA.
Personally, I like her...she is not some slick, Washington elitist. Why aren?t more people welcoming non-Lawyers into office? Have we all not had enough of Lawyers serving Lawyers?
She is just WAY too right wing for me. The implied promise to the ultra-conservative Christian right her nomination makes is just too much for me.
If not, I vote for the kitty assault rifle. That's kinda what she'll do to the country, don-cha-know?

- It's quite obvious to me she's a Decepticon.
