"Biggest political gamble I believe just about in American political history...that is not hyberbole. I can think of no choice of VP that approaches this"
- Pat Buchanan, August 29, 2008
Mitt Romney? Tom Ridge? Lindsay Graham? Rudy? Tim Pawlenty? Mike Huckabee? Kay Baily Hutchinson? Condi Rice? Charlie Crist?
Noooo!!! Nope, John McCain believes Sarah Palin is the best and most qualified person in the Republican party to take his place if he kicks off (he is kinda old). President Sarah Palin.
John McCain is an unacceptable and dangerous candidate for the office of President. And he has now proven himself to be the unstable and unintelligent doofus we feared he was.
This race is over, and it will be a historic landslide. Unless Palin pulls a Harriet Miers and withdraws in the next few hours or days (which I think is likely). Or the GOP pulls its head out of its ass and gets McCain to withdraw, and a viable candiate runs in his place.
The GOP die-hards must be reeling today.
Picture the Biden - Palin debate (if it happens). Poor girl. Seriously, poor girl. Getting her ready in a few weeks will be impossible. "OK, Sarah, there's a country called Georgia. And there's another country called Kazakhstan... And now let's get you up to speed on organizations. There's one called the UN. There's another one called the EU..."

"Oh, please be Sarah Palin for vice president.. Please be Palin... But that would be too good to be true of course (since it would destroy McCain)"
Sorry Keith. I never heard of her. So maybe she is the right candidate after all?
Kenduffelsniffenspotzen
CNBC has called it her on their website already I think it is a huge mistake.We don't need a hockey mom as vp of this country.
Who is Sarah Palin? Seriously, I have no idea who she is.
You are again drinking from Obama's koolaid jar if you think this will hurt McCain. It will be exactly the opposite. You are totally out of touch with America Keith, too much time in Euro zone. She is every bit as qualified as Obama for the top office based on life experience
Sarah Who? Sarah Whaaa???
Hello????
McCain has lost his mind
Obama/and whoever he picked *some old guy* = Lucifer
McCain and a women VP= no chance in hell.
I'm voting for Bush again.
You would think McStain would know about this
http://www.ktva.com/ci_10026165
Investigation to begin into whether Governor Sarah Palin abused her power in firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan
Lawmakers will hire someone within a week to investigate whether Governor Sarah Palin abused her power in firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The legislative council approved 100,000 dollars for the investigation that will find out whether Palin was angry at Monegan for not firing an Alaska State Trooper who went through a messy divorce with Palin's sister.
Thank you, GOP!
John McCain, RIP.
Sarah Who?
He picked a woman in the hopes that disaffected Hillary voters will vote for him now.
Seems like the move of a desperate man.
Won't matter much after we start throwing around the Keating 5 facts.
Maybe he thinks he'll pick up the votes of the disgruntled people who wanted Hillery to run. If she is the pick then that means that next year we'll have either a black man or a woman in the executive branch. It just warms my heart that this is sooooooo going to piss off Carl Rove who was pushing so hard to get Romney in as VP. Christian conservatives will find nothing to like on a McCain-Palin ticket.
I would not be surprised if Rove starts a slander campaign to torpedo her.
more popcorn please.
I'm hopeful; perhaps not out of the purest of motive.
youtube comment: "...I hope McCain wins now because I'd love to shag Sarah Palin. She's a right fucking pump up the knickers!..."
What is O gonna do? Point out she doesn't have enough experience to lead?
Imagine the VP debate(s). The old white Washington consumate insider guy making the case for change while facing the mother of 5 (one with Downs) married to a Native American.
I wonder if she's related to Michael Palin form "Monty Pythons flying circus"?
And now for something completely different.
sarah palin is not qualified but brack obama is.
the irony is killing me.
McCain just destroyed his "Obama isn't qualified" argument
Insane
Dear Hillary,
How do you feel NOW?
Not a candidate for anything and the First Woman VP nominee looks like someone who SHOULD be home baking cookies...
At least you're STILL a New York Senator and they Love You in Arkyville. Maybe they will let you and Mr. Bill stay a few nights in the Lincoln bedroom for the memories...
LIVE by the throttle, DIE by the throttle.
Alaska. BIG state! SMALL poplulation. Even smaller government. Smaller than NYC! Minimal TAXES!!! Revenue comes from oil royalties. They actually mail out a check to residents. So how has this governor had to make ANY tough choices? What are her qualifications in a state that has more money to spend than they do projects? She may be a competent administrator, but her political impact will rival that of Dan Quaile.
I like the choice a lot better than biden since Palin will anchor us back into american values.
Moreover, the news networks have more than enough foreign policy hacks that McCain can tap.
Two years ago, Palin was part-time mayor of a village of 6,000. Today, she's supposedly ready to step in to run this country in the eventuality that Sen. McCentury can no longer perform those duties?
You're a little freaked out now eh ? LOL !!!
McCain is +/- even in the polls.
B. Hussein Obama is a FIRST TERM senator....she is a FIRST TERM governor. IMHO a governor is a more responsible a position than a senator. But let's both are inexperienced.
Let me see....the speech at the "Barackoplis" last night was full of rhetoric, but "where's the beef" ? Who know hwere she stands. Her life is a chronihle of character.....Hussein's is without.
Think of all the democratic women who will now give the Republicans a second hard look.......yet I doubt there will be any significant number of black Republicans (ther aren't many anyways, correct ?)looking at the democrats right now.
ROTFLMAO.....!!!! You clowns have been sideswiped !!!!
A L A S K A ! ! ! !
Coldest state...
...hottest governor!
I find myself, once again, standing alone against Keith and all of the other comments here.
I think it was a smart choice, a good choice, and the right choice.
I look forward, as always, to everyone telling me why I was wrong. But then again, I’ve been saying for months that picking a woman was the smart choice for McCain. The only surprise I have is that he actually did it.
Consider this if you will:
The real problem with the Bush administration is not Bush/Cheney themselves, it was the neo-con influence that destroyed both the Republican party and this country for the last eight years.
The neo-cons are the root of nearly everything that has gone wrong: the smug self-righteous attitude, the my-way-or-the-highway mentality, the shoot first, think later philosophy, and the total brain-dead economics.
Yes, Bush is the president, but he is not a thinker. He goes in the direction he is led, and he is being led by the neo-cons.
The neo-cons were insisting on either Romney or Rudy. By picking Palen, McCain has put a well-deserved thumb in the eye of the neo-cons.
This country survived Dan Quayle, the country survived Walter Mondale, Spiro Agnew and Nelson Rockefeller; it can survive Sarah Palen if it comes down to it.
Given the original primary field; given the possible pitfalls of a Romney or Rudy or Clinton presidency, and considering what this country has been put through in the last eight years of scorched-earth politics, I think that Obama/Biden vs McCain/Palen is about as close to a win-win as we’re going to get.
I honestly don't get it. Worst pick I've ever seen. I honestly don't get it.
Only thing I can think of is the GOP knows they're going to lose, so to go down with a woman on the ticket so they can position themselves better in 2012 as an inclusive (i.e. not all white men) party
But if he wanted a woman, Kay Baily Hutchinson or Libby Dole were waaaaaaaaay more qualified to be president.
The oldest candidate ever should not have picked the least qualified veep ever. Worse than Ferraro. Worse than Quayle.
His campaign is a debacle. Too bad, I wanted an interesting race. Now we have a blowout.
Unless strange things happen on the way to November. I don't see Palin lasting the week.
McCain is insane.
But damn, if this sticks, I can't wait for the VP debate. Popcorn for everyone!
What will this blog do when your dream team goes down big because you think America is ready for the great society all over again sorry not going to happen, and Biden is the agent of change, wait till November then the real panic sets in.
Commander in Chief Sarah Palin
Never
Palin, being a ditzy soccer mom, will win the votes of ditzy soccer moms. This is downright brilliant!
Looks like this guy will need to draw up a new T-shirt design:
http://www.cafepress.com/drvermin.133832122
McCain and Obama are both trying to go over the top.
Obama should have taken Clinton and McCain should have taken Romney.
Both are dumbasses which is why I won't even bother to vote.
Not that it matters anyway as Arizona is already bought and paid for by the majority of uneducated morons who live in this state.
The MSM will have a feeding frenzy now. Let the real vetting begin
Come on hard core GOP'ers, deep down, tell the truth. You gotta be blown away by how bad this pick is. It's Ferraro-bad.
Too bad. But sooooo entertaining!
Smart move, check mate. Hillary voters will flock to McCain. Bye-bye Hussein.
Sarah Palin former beauty queen contestant, miss congeniality...are you kidding me. What has happened to the good ol US of A? Likes to shoot wolves out of helicopters! She's intriguing? This is unbelievable. I'm a republican, but there is no way in hell that I'm handing the country over to a beauty queen that needs help pointing out Georgia on map. "No Sarah, not Georgia the state honey, the country." "Like, oh my god, lke Georgia is a country"
can we talk about how these hurricanes are going to put the final bullet in the housing market?
If I want politics I know where to find it on the web.
Shes a babe!
I want to see her for eight years!
Come on hard core GOP'ers, deep down, tell the truth. You gotta be blown away by how bad this pick is. It's Ferraro-bad.
Methinks thee protest overly.
Worth it just to see every pundit go back to thedrawing board and allthosepoor MSMerswho were planning on overwriting the Rep convention with glowing storiesof the post Dem convention bump. No bump for you Keith.
well, she has as much experience as obama and he is running for the top job!
Since you don't get it, Keith, let me explain that to you:
1. Hussein vomits about change, but who's showing himself as a change candidate? McCain by picking the FIRST WOMAN VP. Bang!
2. Hussein vomits about Washington politics. But McCain is already doing something about it by picking a VP who made her name as a whistle blower against politic malfeasance. Kapow!
3. Hussein vomits about GOP being about Washington insiders, including the Clintons. McCain picked a VP who's NOT a political insider at all. Splat!
4. According to recent polls and because of recent moves from Putin, about 75% of Americans are for oil drilling. Well, here we have a VP who's from Alaska and with projects for a pipeline. Meanwhile, Hussein and his corrupt Democratic leaders haven't come up with an energy policy. One week Hussein is against drilling, then next week he's in favor. One week he's against Nuclear energy, then next week he's all for it. Zap!
5. Mrs. Sara Palin is hot, has experience as a mayor and 2 years as a governor, after running against two formidable opponents. Hussein has 116 days experience voting "present" in the Senate. Boom!
Glad to help, buddy.
Your wrong Keith!!! This was a brillant move and McCain WILL get it.
Why are you such an ObamaNation lover? That idiot will completely tank this CUNT-ry. Makes me wonder if your a socialist at heart. Perhaps you should stick with housing panic and not politics...
What's Sarah Palin's biggest contribution to Alaskan economy? Rolling back infrastructure projects! In a state where some people have to have things such as doctors and sometimes even food flown in by plane, where the state highway system is actually a ferry system, where it's the largest and least dense state in the country, this woman thinks they don't need, you know, roads or bridges.
Two years ago, Palin was part-time mayor of a village of 6,000. Today, she's supposedly ready to step in to run this country in the eventuality that Sen. McCentury can no longer perform those duties?

Hurricane-force winds, heavy rain hit Phoenix area
The Associated Press
Article Launched: 08/29/2008 06:32:14 AM PDT
PHOENIX—A series of fast-moving thunderstorms packing winds of up to 100 mph plowed through the Phoenix area, leaving tens of thousands without power, briefly shutting down the airport and ripping the roof off a brand-new college football facility.
There were no immediate reports of injuries from Thursday's storms.
Arizona Public Service Company said Friday morning it still had 32,000 customers without electricity, while Salt River Project estimated 11,000 of its customers were without power. At the height of the storm, about 100,000 homes and businesses without power.
Power for many downtown traffic signals was still out as the morning rush began, and some traffic delays were reported.
The storm swept into the city at about 9 p.m., dumping up to a 1 1/2 inches of rain and three-quarter-inch hail in some areas.
Sky Harbor International Airport was shut down for about an hour during the height of the storm, which blew out of the area by about midnight. Flight delays continued early Friday as crews worked to remove debris blown onto the runways.
National Weather Service meteorologist Leslie Wanek said Sky Harbor recorded peak winds of 75 mph, but radar indicated gusts of up to 100 mph in parts of the metro area.
In Tempe, Arizona State University officials said the storm damaged the school's new $8.4 million indoor practice facility that's mostly used for football.
A witness said the fabric roof on the structure was
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shredded and the bubble dome had completely deflated.
The 103,500-square-foot facility was completed this month.
Hundreds of trees in central and uptown Phoenix were downed, and a large section of roofing from a new condominium complex was torn off and thrown hundreds of feet, landing on the lines powering the city's soon-to-open light rail line.
Windows were blown out of at least one high-rise building downtown.

Seriously Keith you are way off this was a brilliant choice. It gives his Campaign a bit of a historic edge and she is a perfect person to sway some Hillary supporters. Oh I think the GOP will be thrilled with this pick, its the DEMS who are sweating. What are they gonna say she isnt qualified? Oh gee isnt that the pot calling the kettle black, shouldn't the Dem ticket be reversed, the most qualified person is the VP on their ticket. Oh and the debate, yeah lets see i guess Biden might look better if he steals a bunch of speeches but oh wait that will be alot harder no with the internet oh what will he say with his own words.... maybe something about dunkin doughnuts??? or perhaps what he said when he was giving his speech after being into'd as the VP that his wife is hot but that shes smart and that I guess we will just have to deal with that(yeah I hate those pretty smart women to, dont we all like them dumb). Yeah the debate ought to be fun and she destroys him.
It's retarded 'cause Romney should have been the front runner, all along. McCain was a joke from the get-go, even before the "what's a rich person?/no of houses?" remarks. I don't think the Republican party can try to pretend to be Democratic, with a Ferraro-like move. It's suppose to be conservative and steadyfast but w/o the crazy neo-cons/pro-military b.s. which a Romney/Frist ticket could have been. Instead, they're trying some loonie-post-tramatic VietVet/North Slope roughnecker-Maverick hockey mom combo as a way of revitalizing and separating from Bush and Co. That's pretty pathetic. That's like Andy Griffith trying to be Snake Plissken just to seem cool and hip.
"Two years ago, Palin was part-time mayor of a village of 6,000.
and Obama is part of a village of 100 folks who look like a bunch of losers.
at least Palin had to take responsibility as a figure head; Obama, on the other hand, conviently hides behind the other 99 losers when he's not looking good.
of course, Palin showed muster moving up to a governorship and, again, in that spot, she's had to take responsibility as a figure head.
Rumor has it that McCain is her long lost father. He promised to make it up to her, and now he most certainly has. Who's hotter, Cindy or Palin? This country rocks! We have a beauty queen, sports reporter, hokey mom, that loves moose stew one heartbeat away from running the USA. Our country is joke to the rest of the world and I'm embarrassed to be an American.
It was a brilliant pick by McCain, and here's why:
http://tinyurl.com/5gp65l
Now you decide, through the above LA Times article, if this woman isn't tough as nails.
McCain's choice only serves to illustrate what the presidential campaign has devolved into: a glorified political version of "American Idol", where instead of getting a record deal, the winners get to rule the free world.
We deserve what we get.
Dopes, indeed.
ps - America will not elect a black man in 2008. Get your kleenex ready.
The Republicans have already taken America deep into bizarro land, so McCain says to himself, what the hell, lets just go all the way.
McCain picks Palin. You gotta love John McCain.
God bless common sense and America.
Obama/Biden '08.
Wow, just to show you how Obama isn't prepared to lead. It's been more than an hour and no comment from their camp. They were caught by surprised and weren't expecting this move from McCain at all. Lack of planning and preparation...not good, Obama.
You're right, Keith, it's a horrible choice. Obama will clearly win. Go back to sleep.
I think you overestimate the intelligence of the American people, Keith.
Do you think they care whether Sarah Palin knows where to find the "Stans" on a map?
This is the land of pop tarts Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.
This is the nation that voted TWICE for an alcoholic, silver spoon fed, elite family, draft dodging, lazy, dumb, multiple business failure, Skull and Bones Yalie because they were fooled into thinking he was a cowboy from Texas !!
They thought Dubya was a down to Earth one of the good old boys!! They thought he was a "war hero" when he landed on that aircraft carrier and said "Mission Accomplished"!!!
Here's what the average American sees:
On the left: A scary black man with a Muslim name and an arrogant prick named Biden.
On the right: A white "war hero" who is not afraid of "the terrorists" and a cute young white lady that they wouldn't mind having a cup of coffee with.
Let's not forget that this is the population that voted for McCain as Republican nominee because they thought he was the anti-war candidate!!
BwahahahaAHAHAHAA!!! We're all doomed!!!
Haven't you got it yet? Mainstream acceptance is all about image NOT intelligence or competence!!
Kieth, just for kicks why don't you also post the Romney hit piece you were planning.
Obviously a ruse to gather up the Hillary/female vote, duh!
At least SNL has Tina Fey for the parodies.
Hey Keith, Worldnet Daily has a voting poll for "silliest woman in the world". Palin is not on the list (good right?).
Nutty Nancy is leading by a country mile!! Go Nancy!
GT Charlie
Groan all you want Keith, she is more qualified to be president than your Beloved Obama.
Who???
keith...how can you make a neagative conclusion about palin?
you haven't seen her read from a teleprompter yet.
>sarah palin is not qualified but brack obama is.
>the irony is killing me.
Yeah, but was she ever a community organizer???
Hope they don't get any pictures of McCain checking out her ass.
hell, give here a shot.
She cant be any worse than our other choices, and she is not bad looking.
I wonder how long until Bill Clinton makes a house warming visit. LOL
As others have said, she's more qualified than Obama to be president.
I think this was a brilliant move on McCain's part. This campaign is far more than just having two more guys as vp and p. There are tens of millions of women who would vote for Hillary simply because she's a woman. It surely can't hurt McCain to have a maverick women who is far removed from the corruption in Washington as a vp.
HILARIOUS!
http://tinyurl.com/6y238q
What's with the misogynistic tone, Keith? "Poor Girl???"
Surely someone as enlightened as you wouldn't make such a politically incorrect and insensitive reference like that intentionally. Because otherwise, you sound just like the other Good Ol' Boys you reel against on this board.
Maybe it's just that you and the other Obama followers on this board are more than a little worried that this will really fuel McCain's support.
And BTW, I think the "poor girl" is an excellent choice. She seems to have more grit than either Obama or Biden...and for the amount of time she has been in office she has an impressive track record.
Both tickets are balanced. Outsider and Insider on each ticket.
Keith,
When are you going to run out of Kool-Aid????? She is exactly what you said you wanted, sells the Gov. jet for a profit, nixes the Governor's fleet of cars, sticks the "Bridge to nowhere" up Washington's ass, asks for fellow Republicans to resign because of corruption and does the same to Democrats.
Certainly more experienced than BHO.
Wake up Keith, try visiting a few more sites than the DNC and the DailyCasket.
"Picture the Biden - Palin debate (if it happens). Poor girl. Seriously, poor girl. Getting her ready in a few weeks will be impossible."
Its obvious youve never hear this woman speak. Razor sharp, disarmingly charming, down-to earth and witty... she is a commanding presence the likes of which I havent seen since - well since Obama. Trust me, she will have no problem hanging with Biden.
I heard her speak a few years ago in DC. I was there for work paying no attentio to the speeches of various speakers, but when she spoke I stopped in stunned slience and remarked, who is this woman - shes F'ing awesome!
As a loyal dem - I remember thinking, thank god shes a woman, the repubs will never even know what they have here...well apparently they found her and we are in trouble.
Republicans would defend anything. Obama....US Senator, degree in constitutional law, State Senator for 8 years, been on the national stage nonstop for 4 years.
Palin....2 terms on city council, governor for 1.5 years, been on national stage for an hour.
Give me a break saying she and Obama have equal credentials.
Politico -- Palin won loud cheers from what was McCain’s largest rally yet by highlighting her gender.
She paid homage to Geraldine Ferraro , as well as to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America,” Palin said. “But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all.”
In selecting Palin, McCain counters the historic nature of Barack Obama’s candidacy. She’s young —three years younger than Obama — and she’s a woman
If you look at these VP choices from the perspective of a Tennis match or chess game, McCain's choice is a good move and makes Obama look foolish shooting himself in the foot by not putting Clinton on the ticket.
Now after all the hype is over and the emotions have settled we are all going to be left scratching our heads thinking "wow that was a good ballgame but what the hell are we left with?"
Two lame-duck tickets. It does not matter who wins, it will be business as usual. Pretty much anything will look like a positive change after Mr. Bush high-tails it back to Texas.
Everyone will either be saying "Look how cool we are, we have a black president" or "Look how cool we are, we have a woman Vice President. America rocks! I am proud to be an America kumbaya
kumbaya" and soon after we'll realize that the country is just as screwed as it was before.
it's a brillant move.
i know cuz keith hates it.
now biden was a crappy pick and keith knows it.
Don't even go there with the "she has no experience" talking point.
Obama has had barely 2 years in the Senate, and he's spent a lot of that time running for President.
I saw her on the telly during her joint appearance with McOldGuy. She's good.....much better on the screen than that plagiarizing old phart Biden. The Dems should be afraid....
At least this race is finally going to get interesting!
I saw Sarah Palin on TV about 3 weeks ago and I tell you that you would like her .But,I think it was a risky move on McCains part ,but the move does have some merits . I would say that Sarah Palin has more of the core values of that party ,but she isn't a pasty for big business .
Obama:
1) Never had a real job
2) Never managed anything
3) Never published as a law professor
4) Never finished his 1st Senate term
But he can give a great speech.
OK, elect him as President!
LOL
Keith said...
"I honestly don't get it. Worst pick I've ever seen. I honestly don't get it."
dude...the Republicans WANT to lose. That way the housing shitstorm can end up in Obamas lap. After Obama can't do anything it will be a landslide in 2012 back to the GOP.
Nice hair. Love the 1970's frosted highlights.
Get this woman a makeover, stat!
Meet Millie from the Library.
He should just get it over with and choose Hillary.
There's no better way to show that there's no difference, it doesn't really matter.
McCain - Clinton '08
That's the ticket.
The tea leaves have spoken...
McCain will withdraw within 30 days of election due to 'health issues' which will allow a Romney/Palin ticket.
Book it.
Oh. So NOW experience matters?
But, it didn't matter for Obama, or for Ron Paul, before him.
If you actually cared to look, you would see that Gov. Palin is FAR closer to Ron Paul than any of the other three individuals on the major party tickets.
As a Ron Paul supporter, all I can say about Gov. Palin being selected as our next VP is...how refreshing!
Gov. Palin is a Washington-OUTSIDER, she values life (anti-abortion), she's a mom with 5 kids and is married to a working-class guy. I know she's inexperienced in the "ways of D.C.", but maybe, just maybe that's what we need right now. Heck, I wish the ticket were the other way around, with McCain as VP and Palin as President!
A side note...Obama has just had ALL of the wind taken from his sails after last nights great speech. This election is over...McCain/Palin will wind by a large margin.
After she gets her makeover squared away, I actually think Palin is a great choice. She will appeal to women, small town folks, conservatives and the religious right.
Also, Obama needs to be very careful what he says about Palin as the sisterhood is watching closely....
Still not voting for either of these guys.
she thinks South Osettia is located between Buckhead and downtown Atlanta? so what. in fact, GREAT! she'll be less inclined to invade Iran with her army son deployed in Iraq too.
she has zippy political experience and won the governorship on an ethics plank in a state that gave us Ted Stevens (don't get me wrong, i love Alaska).
i want her for POTUS.
I would vote GOP if Palin were at the top of the ticket.
Outsider, corruption fighter, blue-collar roots. Cleaned up the cess pool of Alaska Republican politics.
She would be a far better President than McCain, Obama, or Biden.
Wow. Judging by her Wikipedia page, she's a breath of fresh air.

Oh my GOD!
Are you kidding?
This is a REAL Woman!!!!!
Not like,
Hillary
Pelosi
Boxer
Feinstein
Sheehan
etc. etc.
.
i think this is a brilliant move from a strategic standpoint.
i know for a fact my, wife, mother and sisters will now vote mcain. i would bet 90% of the women i know will now vote mccain.
mother of 5, one with downs. good, strong family woman, conservative. are you kidding me saying this is a bad move? mccain has the red states no matter what he does. texas and oklahoma aren't voting democrat anyway, and especially now that its a black dem. hes got the bible belt hillbillies locked up from the get go and even moreso with the dems choice.
just like the dems got the fruits and fairie's in california and granola crunchin hippies in the ne and nw locked up from the get go. they can't screw that up and obama is certainly a great candidate for them in that regard.
both parties got thier "regions" locked up no problem. that never changes. but they need the "swing" vote to win the election.
***and before anyone gets thier panties in a bunch, no i do not believe that all bible belters are inbred hillbillies. nor do i believe that everyone in california is gay or pierced/tattooed over thier whole body. its the point, its how america generalizes things and how things such as the election are usually decided***
back to the point, mccain is going to get a HUGE amount of women vote with this. if you don't think a bunch of the women that wanted hillary will now vote mccain, you don't know women.
and palin is bats 1000 in the most important thing to women, FAMILY AND CHILDREN! women defend and fight for thier children like nothing else in this world. i've personally seen my wife go toe to toe with a neighbor defending our children. do not under estimate the motherly instinct man, do not do it. it is a very powerful and very beautiful thing.
unless the dems find some dirt on her in the family values arena(shes a former stripper/hooker, abused her kids, uses drugs, something), this babies over. i'm tellin you, if a women has kids, those kids ARE the ONLY THING that matters to her. and knowing that mentality, which way do you think most of them will vote?

Meanwhile, Hussein and his corrupt Democratic leaders haven't come up with an energy policy. One week Hussein is against drilling, then next week he's in favor. One week he's against Nuclear energy, then next week he's all for it. Zap!"
Nuclear, I agree, he should have been for it, however on the energy policy, he has been VERY clear about what he wants. Oil drilling was just a stop gap measure, whereas McSame thinks it is a solution. Dumb....
"5. Mrs. Sara Palin is hot, has experience as a mayor and 2 years as a governor, after running against two formidable opponents. Hussein has 116 days experience voting "present" in the Senate. Boom!"
That is exactly what I want in office if McOld fart kicks, a hottie. She can be my concubine, mistress, waitress, or personal dancer, but NOT my VP especially with the OLDEST presidential candidate in history.....
Boom, Pow, Kaployee and whatever else you got from Batman reruns. At least Obama tries to surround himself with experience even if he does not know all. McCain just keeps making bad decisions, AND HE IS NOT EVEN ELECTED YET. Scary if he does get elected....
"...Two years ago, Palin was part-time mayor of a village of 6,000..."
"...Commander in Chief Sarah Palin..."
It's 3am; the Hotline rings in the White House.
Commander Palin leaps out of bed, and pulls the cookies out of the oven.
Phew!
I'm actually pretty surprised by how politically clueless a few HP'ers are
Even the hardest of the hard-core GOP should take off the rose colored glasses, and understand that this pick makes McCain non-viable.
Like hard-core Dems knew that the Mondale/Ferraro ticket was doomed.
There were more qualified women, if that's what McCain wanted to do - not pick the best candidate, but the best based on gender.
Condi Rice, Kay Baily Hutchinson, Libby Dole, even Meg Whitman or that HP CEO.
But good god, this pick is seriously unreal. La-la land.
Like nominating Harriet Miers to the supreme court, this pick should be withdrawn. And if it's not, and we get to the VP debate with Biden vs. Palin, oh, wow.
Plus McCain shot his whole "not ready" argument about Obama in the foot. He killed his own campaign theme.
It's bizarre. It doesn't make sense.
Unless the Republicans have decided to take a dive, knowing 2009 - 2011 are going to be hell. And regroup in 2012.
Now that makes sense.
sexist much? she has more executive experience than all the others.
I can honestly say that I'm voting for McCain/Palin simply because I am so sick and tired of having OBAMA SHOVED DOWN MY THROAT!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to bet everyone here $100 on the election. I take the Dems, you take the GOP, straight up. Any takers?
Serious offer, if we could find a legitimate middleman to hold the cash. Any internet site that does stuff like that?
This election will not be close. I'm just telling you how it is.
But Obama vs. Romney 2012, that'll be interesting.
And I just don't get you hard-core party members, on either side. When your party screws the pooch, deep down you gotta realize it.
McCain just screwed the pooch. Like never before.
I know that she is barefoot and pregnant.
But will she change John McCain's diaper?
One word
MILF
Women will vote for her?
"You, too, will keep your very own fetal monster, just like I did."
"I will make sure of it."
Palin kicked the incumbent republican governor out of office and has made ethics in politics one of her signature items. She is also supposed to look young and female, the latter for all disappointed female Hillary supporters (there are a lot). She has, however, to survive the debate with Biden on foreign policy, economy (Alaska has no debt), and on abortion and all "women subjects".
Keith,
I accept your bet proposal, but I'd like to raise it to $500. You post the site that will handle the money, and I'll put my cash up, without hesitation.
By the way, I was grudgingly ready to accept Obama as POTUS before today. This election is now over; on so many levels, selecting Palin was the absolute smartest move McCain could have made. It's over.
Keith, I accept, and raise your wager to $500. Find a site to handle the cash, let's do it big-talker.

Condi Rice, Kay Baily Hutchinson, Libby Dole, even Meg Whitman or that HP CEO.
women of power, career women bro, not gonna appeal to the mothers in the us of a. and while the number of women choosing career over kids is growing, the kids side still FAR outweighs the career side by a LARGE margin.
now a mother of 5, married to a joe 6 pack, with a handi capped kid...
THAT SCREAMS FAMILY, FAMILY, FAMILY, KIDS, KIDS, KIDS!
you make the mistake, as i often did when i was younger, in thinking that americans vote/think logically and treat things like an election like a business decision. they do not.
why do you think politicians campaign on abortion, education and healthcare reforms, major scoial changes and then do absolutely nothing about it once elected? its because they know most americans vote with thier heart, not thier mind.
someone above posted about image over substance. hammer, meet nail.
i agree and i wish that america would look at elections like a business/logical decision, but they do not. if it was based on logic, ron paul would still be in it and would be the leading candidate.
Governor Jesse Ventura.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Governor Sarah Palin.
She's more qualified than Barak Quayle.
Read memorable quotes from Barak Quayle:

She would make the best looking vp ever.
Stone - I accept your offer as well. Gladly.
Looking on the google I can't find a site that acts as a middleman between parties on a wager. Which brings to mind, I should start that company.
Seriously, anyone know a website that performs this escrow-type service for wagers between parties?
I'm thinking betyourfriends.com, or itsabet.com, or youreonbitch.com
I musy that not only does she make McCain look older than dirt it was positivly crrepy to seem him beaming at her on the stage. He looked like a dirty old man. Don't know if that will get him votes or not. I think she is a godd candiadate, but will she be able to take the prssure of a full bore rovian campaign? She will have to lose any morals she has just to work with that bunch...she will have to sell her soul to survivie, just like McCain did.
OK folks, I found a site that can do it - betfair.com, where you can be your own bookie.
But since you're run by religious nuts who are freaky about gambling in the US (unless it's their state lotteries or casinos of course), you can't wager online unlike us free people in Europe though.
But if any of you can register an account with betfair and wager, say the word, and I'll post the bet
Please advise. I'd like to know how much I'll win by year end so I can start planning how to spend the windfall.
McCain was sporting wood

Since you don't get it, Keith, let me explain that to you:
1. Hussein vomits about change, but who's showing himself as a change candidate? McCain by picking the FIRST WOMAN VP. Bang!
Um, just to mention to you, Ferraro was the first woman VP candidate. They lost, big time, and I can't even remember who she ran with.

Published in The New York Post on August 29, 2008.
DENVER
A MASTER was at work last night. A politician who can inspire hope filled in the blanks of his program and articulated his vision with skill and panache.
Barack Obama, never short on inspiration, gave us specifics. He delivered a State of the Union Address, laying out his programs fully and well. He gave exactly the right speech with the right delivery and balance of detail and rhetoric.
And he wove his background and his philosophy into and around his proposals, combining moving words with specific proposals. The speech will surely give him the bounce he needs - turning a deadlocked race into a potential landslide.
http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/2008/08/29/challenge-to-mccain/#more-423
Absolutely brilliant move. If you ever played Chess game you will understand it for the following reasons:
1. John McCain made the Dems attack the Red Cape ,instead of the Matador. He diverted their attention to attack the cape.
2. They played down inexperience question for a moronic corrupt Presidential candidate. The more they attack her inexperience for #2 slot, the more they will highlight BO's inexperience for #1 slot. VPs can always be trained on the Job. Presidents are expected to be ready from day #1.
3. Some % of Disenfranchised Hillary voters will vote for McCain. I dont know what % that will be. I estimate about 5 to 10%, even as high as 15%. Thats enough to tilt the election in McCain's favor. And it will also help down ballot races for Republican party.
And as for you Keith, I got nothing more to say about you why you have become self destructive to ruin this blog and made it a free ,advertizment to a most unqualified candidate ever run for this office. You proved to be an absolute idiot ,as usual.
Do I have a typo somewhere? Yes, Palin is the first GOP woman VP candidate, not first VP candidate. Ferraro (who was almost equally unqualified) got destroyed with Mondale 49 to 1 in 1984, running against Reagan's masterful "morning in America" campaign
You know, one based on hope instead of fear
I think we should all not get too excited about Palin though. This could end up being a 48-hour pick. Then Romney steps in, and it's a real race again.
Hahaha!
Guess what Keith?
Sarah Palin is the NEW BLACK!
Hahaha!
Obama is old news. As much as I hate McCain I have to admit this is a brilliant move to capture middle America.
Ultimately it doesn't matter. McCain will likely win now and he'll just be a puppet of the Neocons.
McCain might retire and then Palin will be a puppet of the Neocons.
It's over for Obama. His public image has been outclassed.
You sold out on Ron Paul for Obama and now Obama is being swiftboated.
Ain't it funny how the cookie crumbles?
Why are you complaining? Hillary researched this.
Deb, that's actually three very intelligent points. Bravo. Seriously, well done. Unlike some of the other dribble. Study politics too?
Unfortunately (for you) though, the Dems will not go after Palin. The media will do that for them. They'll ignore her. They'll let the comparisons between her and Biden just hang in the air. Especially when questions are asked during the debate on which she has no idea how to answer. This comes to mind:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww
what a friggen ditz
Check our her kid's names
Track, Willow, and Trip. I'd look for the Pot plants in the woods behind her trailer.
This must be a joke
Dude, you really need to decide where you stand.
You've been lamenting the loss of Reagan values in the GOP and have called for their return. Then McCain chooses someone who embodies those Reaganesque libertarian values and you rip on her.
I think you have a full-blown case of Bush Derangement Syndrome and would knock the GOP even if they nominated your beloved Ron Paul.
Here's some debate prep for Biden:

Hey Keith - you were once a Ron Paul supporter, right?
Let's take a little stroll down memory lane -
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/2317
Oh my...
Anyways, McCain's choice is pretty darn bullet proof. What are they going to do (the demo-rats) now? Attack a woman married to a native american?
This should be good...
Anyways, I will be writing in Dr Paul's name on the ballot.
Keith,
My wife just ripped me a new one about "betting some stranger on the internet", so I'm afraid I'll have to recant my wager offer.
I feel like a wimp here, but life goes on.
- Stone
No. He's f'ing brilliant.
McCain DOES NOT WANT TO WIN.
And neither does Obama.
Whoever follows W will be the patsy. Seriously, would you want to be president after W?
Both of them have found their own personal Stockdale (remember Perot?)to effectively take them out of the election, somewhat gracefully.
Remember when people said Gore would humiliate Bush in the debates? Didn't happen.
How exactly will Biden smash Palin when the debates aren't much more than a sterilized conversation with the moderators -- especially with Russert gone?
Did he say anything memorable in previous debates? Something about liking Ms. Kucinich?
Bye-bye B. Hussein Obama.
OK folks, betfair does it.. if you sign up for an account, use code PXHUKHNQL and you get 25 pounds after you bet
Anyone stupid enough to want to bet me on the prez race email me and I'll gladly, gladly take your money
Dems vs. Reps, straight up. Sucker born every minute
None of you is that stupid, but if you are, I'll gladly take your money to teach you a lesson
Yes, women who supported Hillary did so solely because Hillary was a woman, so naturally they will support whatever woman the GOP throws out there, including whoever this woman is that McCain just picked as his running mate. I say this because, being a male non-Hillary supporter, I know exactly how they think.
McCain campaign unhinged and desparate and taps Tina Fey!.
1 The "Hillary women" would NEVER go for Palin. Come on, the older, seasoned candidate does the heavy lifting and the young, attractive woman swoops and benefits from trailblazer woman. Not to mention that their ideologies are miles apart.
2) McCain's age and health are now front and center for the campaign
3) Now Obama becomes more, presidential, and seasoned, relatively speaking. Plus Obama has endured 18 months on campaign marathon and beat the Clintons; Palin plucked from the tundra.
Landslide for Obama
charlottemom
>Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Like that one.
Landslide for Obama
charlottemom
I think you and many other women will change your minds once you get to know more about Sarah Palin.
She's actually a lot more impressive than Hillary Clinton. Clinton being one half of the ultimate opportunist and Washington insider team.
I wouldn't be willing to bet money on who is going to win - but I think it is going to be a lot closer than you think.
Palin was picked SOLELY because she's a woman.
She wants Roe v. Wade overturned, and wants creationism taught in schools.
Any Hillary supporter who considers Palin attractive is clueless, and would vote for someone SOLELY based on their sex.
I bet there are some people out there like that. It's what McCain is betting on. It's called ignorance.
However Palin will lose McCain significantly more votes than he'll gain. It's too dangerous to put someone into the highest office in the land during a time of war and global geopolitical imbalances who probably couldn't find Afghanistan or the Crimea on a map.
McCain screwed the pooch with this pick. But then again, he does like his girls young and hot.
Damn, I never thought his VP pick would be THIS entertaining! Bravo John McCain!

Its obvious youve never hear this woman speak. Razor sharp, disarmingly charming, down-to earth and witty... she is a commanding presence the likes of which I havent seen since - well since Obama. Trust me, she will have no problem hanging with Biden.
------------------------------
yea, I can picture it now, her youthfulness next to the old geezer biden. Who do you want to be a heartbeat away from the oval office? Ancient Biden or youthful Palin?
After laughing myself sick, I have to go along with Malcolm's comments. Bush is not a leader in any way, shape or form. Left to his own intellect, he's a boob. Dick is a dangerous dick but a dick none the less. If this lady can handle a government job, a husband, FIVE (5?) kids, living in Alaska, plus have the balls to wear her hair in that 70's bun, I may have to take a second look at HER, not McCentury, he makes my skin crawl. He's not as brilliant as Bush, oh lord. And, please oh please, give us someone who can balance a checkbook.
"...My wife just ripped me a new one...so I'm afraid I'll have to recant my wager offer.

Keith, seriously you can't be that dense. All of the women you named would be great leaders, and all have more experience than St. Barry. Many are even smarter than he is. They all share that with Palin. They are also all connected to Bush and business as usual, unlike Palin but like St. Barry and the Babysitter.
Biden is about to get his balls handed to him. Her son is going to Iraq as an infantryman. Like a lot of people's sons and daughters at home. His son is JAG. If he even touches a weapon, it will be to present it as evidence as to how evil America is.
Her other child has Down's Syndrome, and she made the difficult choice to keep the child and to raise it, like every other mother out there would. His other child is a lobbyist for groups that have bought and paid for Biden and St. Barry's careers.
She has experience in leading. Biden-nope, Obama-nope. The fact that you and all the other liberal mouthpieces are shitting yourselves trying to portray her as somehow less qualified than your own pathetic choice only goes to prove that St. Barry is toast.
Maybe, just maybe he'll be ready to fight in 2012, when he goes against Vice President Palin. I think it would be great for her to bitch slap him twice.

I wonder how many African-Americans who have never voted in a Presidential election will be voting for Obama this November SOLELY based on his ethnicity.

Was this your agenda all along, set up an a financial housing blog to gain some credabitity only to BASH people with conservitive values and beliefs. according to your own poll many or your (former) readers are conservitive. Im done with the bs bashing dude, go tour/ live in some socialist country dude I'm done wit ya! bu buy
Keith,
Now that it looks like McCain will be our next President, do you think we'll experience mass riots by urban-dwelling African Americans if Obama loses the election by a small margin?
I saw this question posed on a previous thread and its got me a bit concerned, especially for cities like Chicago & LA.
Gregg Erickson, columnist and reporter for the Anchorage Daily News and editor at large for the Alaska Budget Report, just did a live Q&A for WashingtonPost.com on Palin.
"When asked about continued American troop presence in Iraq she said she knows only one thing about that (I paraphrase): no one has attacked the American homeland since George Bush took the war to Iraq."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2008/08/29/DI2008082902052.html
if Erickson's paraphrase is accurate, then my infatuation with Palin lasted all of five hours. logical fallacies really piss me off.
Keith,
Please answer the following questions for me:
1. What religion was Obama's father?
2. Which pastor did Obama call his friend and trusted advisor, until relatively recently?
How can you support this man for POTUS?
Now that it looks like McCain will be our next President, do you think we'll experience mass riots by urban-dwelling African Americans if Obama loses the election by a small margin?

Probably. Shoot straight and keep your powder dry.
"Was this your agenda all along, set up an a financial housing blog to gain some credabitity only to BASH people with conservitive values and beliefs"
Hmmm.. let's see
1) I was one of the original supporters of Ron Paul, the GOP candidate for President
2) I called for the bombing of Iranian nuclear installations
3) I called for the deportation of all illegals
4) I called Reid, Pelosi, Dodd and Frank corrupt monkeys who should be voted out of office
Yeah, I'm just a mouthpiece of the dems who hates conservatives. Not.
What I miss are REAL conservatives. Too bad you all went away, and got replaced in this misguided Bush/Cheney GOP with fake conservatives.
America needs the GOP to either get their sh*t togther, or form two parties. One of REAL conservatives (limited government) and one of freaks (religious nuts)
The Bush/Cheney GOP (out of control government with out of control religious nuts) will never win another election again.
Period.
Full stop.
Pika,
I agree. His dad was Muslim; which is the same religion as the religiously-driven fanatics that attacked us on 9/11. I cannot support Obama because of this, and his affiliation with that hate-spewing preacher (Jeremiah Wright).
Only an American-hating fool would vote for Obama.
Boz,
I agree completely. Obama says he's a Christian, but supports abortion rights...in my book, anyone who thinks infanticide is OK is NOT a Christian.
Why can black people use the word "n***er", but white people can't?
Why can black comedians call whites "cracker" & make fun of "white mannerisms", but if white people did the same thing, they'd be labeled as racists?
Why do we have a United Negro College Fund, BET TV, and the NAACP; yet if whites had any such organizations we be called racist, divisive, and exclusionary?
Why are all of the above examples of hypocrisy collectively accepted and embraced by our society?
I'm sorry, Keith, but I'm drawing the line here. I'm done with this blog. Your puppy-love with Barack Hussein Obama has ruined a formerly decent housing-crash blog.
Bye.
P.S.---- McCain and Palin will win in a landslide...JMHO.
Keith,
Are you a Ray Nagy fan too? Just curious.
Jorge,
I hadn't thought about that, but yeah, I suppose we could see some major civil unrest in the ghetto areas of bigger cities when McCain wins.
I hope not as that type of scenario would make Obamaites look stupider than they already do!
You folks are wasting time look around, the empire is crumbling.

Is it true that the "gangsta'-rapper" named Ludacriz is a friend of Obama's? If so, this election is decided and anyone who thinks mainstream whitey's will vote for Obama is fooling themselves.
Palin was originally #2 on Rove's list until Anita Bryant told him she's no longer a member of NRA.
Here we go again...
GOD, GUNS and GAYS.
After Biden helps Sarah Palin with Georgia, perhaps McCain can explain to Obama that there are actually 50 states, not 57.
"no one has attacked the American homeland since George Bush took the war to Iraq."
actually...she is right for wrong reasons.
terrorist will not attack u.s. soil because it would fill the american people with resolve.
however...terrorizing our troops on foreign soil for a decade will break the american people's will to fight.
so by taking the war to iraq bush has made the homeland safer but tarnished our reputation on the world stage.
IMHO
Republicans are really spamming the internets in an effort to defend this foolish pick. Palin was McCain's fourth choice, at best. He met with her exactly once, for less than an hour and she didn't get the call until late yesterday. It looks like the party leaders nixed Lieberman, conservative christians didn't want Hutchison and Romney refused to put his name on a ticket he is certain will lose. Palin's a last minute disaster of a VP choice.
I'd seriously do her husband. That dude is HOT.
That's about all republican men are good for.
a woman Teddy Roosevelt....perhaps the best of times just before the fall. the substance of greatness of/from the natural world.......sigh....................
he he he he haw haw haw haw now that was funny when i saw it on tv. i said who the hell is she, never heard of her before (the same reaction people had to obama) and she is young and cute, and the first question i asked was did she give it up (johnny boy did like lookin at her didn't he) and is she smarter than obama (didn't sound like it) and does she even know anymore than obama (apparently it doesn't really matter) so what is the republican argument about age and knowledge (and obama isn't bad looking either) so i say what does it take to be either a president or vice president to make people happy, I think you just gotta be white. he he he he he haw haw haw haw haw oh I forgot pictures of Geraldine Ferraro played in my head like one of those penny hand crank movies at the county fair. Thanks McCain.
"When you live outside the US ... you realize how not free America is"
YES! It is just like being Mirandaized.
only a non-Christian would support the war.

" This election is now over; on so many levels, selecting Palin was the absolute smartest move McCain could have made. "

"His dad was Muslim"
And my dad was both a drunkard and a racist. So far, as a social drinker, I'd only gotten completely slothed on New Years (along with everyone else at the party) and my friends are from all over the world and of various races and ethnicities.
Let's not kid ourselves Keith, you were hoping for Tom Ridge. Then the 'out of touch' thing would start to stick like glue.
Ridge is an unbelievably poor and boring communicator. Romney is also boring, but not to the same degree. McCain made the right choice.
Damn, it's been a bad couple of weeks for the dems.
I typically agree with you hombre, but in this case I think you're the one that's insane. I think this is a great choice... in fact, I decided today that instead of not voting I am actually going to go to the trouble to get the stupid absentee ballot just so I can vote for this woman. You're right, in a debate about foreign policy Biden will probably smoke her. But energy policy? Being a good and decent person? An agent of "change"? She's going to call him out for exactly what he is... a career hack. Its been a long time since I truly LIKED a politician. I know its early, but I honestly like this woman.
Wow, you guys mean to tell me that Sarah Palin had the courage to “take on” a Governor who had an 18% approval rating and ended up finishing 3rd in a GOP primary?
What this pick really tells us about John McCain is that he thinks he will live forever. A 72 year old who questions the readiness of a 4 year US Senator who served 8 years in the state legislator and was President of the Harvard Law Review is willing to put someone “one heartbeat” away from the Presidency who is not even a 2 year Governor of a pork addicted outpost in the northern wilderness whose previous experience consists of running a city 1/4th the size of Valdosta.
What’s with McCain’s former-beauty-queen complex?
I remember when you were a Ron Paul fan, Keith, and I have been mystified by your throwing-in with Obama. I watched the 80k dwellers in Plato's Mile High Cave cheering at the temple images, and shook my head. It's early, but so far I find Palin far more formidable than Barky or Biden, and think it may have been an ingenious choice.
I see a lot of quotes to the effect of Sarah not knowing where Georgia is I would like to know if any one on this post or in Washington could point out Alaska on a map if they can see what Alaska borders IE:2 foreign countries one of which is Russia.
Heard she had a downs kid. Is that Trig?
Wonder what she looks like when she undoes her bun.
I swear I heard her say ""I had promised Todd a little surprise for the anniversary present and hopefully he knows that I did deliver." Oh, you mean vp pick?
I bet you a stack of high society, that's right, $10,000, that the GOP wins in November. I'm setting up my BetFair details soon. Let me know when you're ready.
What do you expect from a guy who finished in the bottom 1% of his graduating class? Just what we need another low intelligence president.

Would you rather watch that lop-ear Obama or that fake smile of Biden for four years?
Or watch that total babe for eight???
Check Mate!

Folks, you’re looking at this the wrong way.
Is this pick bad for McCain? Who cares. This election will not be the status quo. It’ll shake things up a bit.
We’re going to have one of these scenarios:
A black president
A female VP
Or a third party (Go Ron Paul!)
In office.
It is about the OIL.
Let's see here, Miss Alaska is the Gov for the wilderness welfare state of Alaska. About 600,000 people. Before that she was a part time mayor of 5,000 people and was also involved in the PTA! WOW! That sure beats a US Senator representing IL and was a State Senator before that.
You Republicans on this thread are just like your republican party: morally, ethically, and intellectually bankrupt.
Bye Bye Repubs. Enjoy your next 40 years in the wilderness. No, not Alaska,but as the minority party in Congress
Actually, this accentuates the Obama isn't qualified.
She has equivalent, arguably better, experience than Obama.
Except that she is a real reformer, fighting corruption, rather than rhetorical reformer of Obama who carries the democratic line.
The harder the attack, the easier the redirect to O.
By all means, let's compare Obama's unremarkable stint carrying water for the Cook county political machine in the state legislature to Palin's experience as a mayor.
The harder you attack her, the harder the redirect on Obama's history hacking for corrupt urban political machines. This is difficult to bring up, until the Dems make it a fair issue.
God I hate the low IQ republicans on this blog.
ain't there a blue collar comedy special y'all could be watchin'? here's one: if you voted for George Dubya, twice, (say it with me now) then you might be a redneck...
Should be grand.
Some folks here are mad at McCain for choosing a VP ALMOST AS INEXPERIENCED AS OBAMA.
What a hoot.
McCain! You horny old geezer. Perfect pick; A Hokey MILF as VP! Sure helps us country folk connect with your cause. Four more years!
Repus: The point is that McCain nominated someone with the same quality (no experience) that he criticized Obama for.

Nope.
The point is that all who find worry in the inexperience of McCain's VP pick should have even more to worry about regarding the greater inexperience of the Dem's Prez Pick.
All Ironical, ain't it ;)
This just proves how CRAZY and out of touch republicans are....
Wow...I would have respected his choice of Mitt Romey more.
And to all the Pundits on tv who say she is more qualified than Obama...hahahahahahahah
Keep drinkin' Snoops juice...
I can't wait for the greedy generation to retire...enough...

I'd take her for pres, instead of the highly educated morons we have had for the past 20 years. I'm sick and tired of useless morons running this country. 10 trillion in dept and growing that we are leaving our children.
