    If you want to draw women, there were plenty of seasoned women in the GOP, for example, Kay Bailey Hutchenson. Women with long standing records; not an f'n 18 month Alaskan Hockey Mom Governor!! This is the craziest damn thing i have ever seen in politics.
    All McCain did was give the Republican spinners a collective stroke; because Karl Rove, the greatest political game player in modern history, looked absolutely lost this morning trying to justify this disaster. Forget it, McCain just drove 3-5% of his base into a symbolic vote for Bob Barr.

    You must be kidding!

    This is the dumbest move McCain has made yet. Totally defeating his own foreign experience, Commander in Chief argument against Obama. What, a soccer mom with less than two years experience in state government in a state with less than 800,000 people no less?

    On top of that it is just ANOTHER MCCAIN LIE. Why? Because the only reason he picked her for VP was to TRY to dupe more women and get their votes to GET THE POWER OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

    Rove backing a no experience woman. Are you kidding me?

    John McCain and his advisors could care less about whether she is VP qualified or not. All John McCain cares about is himself and the Oval Office. And it is strikingly clear that with this pick, by his willingness to put this person a heartbeat from the Presidency, he is ready to sell his own soul and sell out the entire country to get it.

    QUOTATION FROM YOUTUBE
    http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/08/29/palin_selection_surprised_her.html?hpid=topnews
    GOV. SARAH PALIN ON THE WOOTEN SCANDAL AND VP:
    QUESTIONER:
    You have a legion of fans who want you to become Senator McCain's Vice Presidential Candidate. In fact on the world's largest PAY TO PLAY PREDICTION MARKET BETTING PARLOR called ENTRATE you are in third place with a twenty percent support probability behind former governors Romney and present governor of Minnesota Nic Pawlenty.
    Is this police flap state investigation gonna disqualify you from becoming Senator McCain's vice presidential candidate?
    ANSWER SARAH PALIN:
    Well it shouldn't disqualify me from anything including progressing the state's agenda here towards more energy production so we can tribute more to the US. Nor should it dismay [?] any kind of agenda progress in any arena. Because again: I haven't done anything wrong and through the investigation of our lawmakers who are kind of looking at me as a target. We invite those questions so we can truthfully answer the questions.
    PALIN: BUT ASKED FOR THAT VP-TALK ALL THE TIME I TELL YOU, I STILL CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION UNTILL SOMEONE ANSWERS FOR ME: WHAT IS IT EXACTLY THAT THE V.P. DOES EVERY DAY?

    I think that John McCain have picked an AWFUL VP. Frankly, right now I'm completely puzzled by his choice. It's simply inadequate.

    Maybe, I will prove wrong, but this pair is something I will NEVER vote for.

    Why did John McCain just kill his own campaign and party? You hammer Obama on experience, and readiness to assume the office of the President, and then you go out and get a woman with less experience, less education, and less years on this earth? All wise political advisors say the same thing, "you only throw a hail mary when your so far behind that it's the last chance you have.". It makes sense, in a dead heat, you plat it safe. This is beyond the pale.

    The Republican base is now activated and ready to suport Mccain in this VP choice! and befor he had this, hes was not falling behind Obama and at time beating Obama.!
    It's Obamas choice of VP who is like a ball and chain around Obamas neck! An ultra left, ultra Liberal ticket.Most unlike the United States!
    Maybe you're trying to compare Sarah with Hillary?
    Hillary didn't set a standard for American women in National politics! There is only the Hillary rendition of Americans Suck First and the Let Wing thought Obamas ' version of Americans Suck First was "better."
    For that matter, the Americans Suck First campaign isn't a standard for American men in national politics, either! It may be the Gold Standard for the news media.
    But America is a great country! Americans are awesome people! The greatest country in the world!
    Mr. Alter. You are a whiner!

    I see the obama gays are pissed that MaCain picked an attractive well spoken woman for VP. Oh well, to bad for them.

    VOTING FOR A DEMOCRAT IS GAY

    DON'T BE GAY

    ........................................Sarah Palin appears to be a nice lady and maybe McCain thinks he is making the best political choice for this 2 Month Run for the Presidency. Perhaps the other Big Name Republicans did not want to have the hassles of campaigning for a Long Shot Ticket...............I just think that the blundering ineptness of McCain and the the inexperience of Palin wil cause this ticket to start unravelling starting a few days after the RNC like a big ball of yarn falling down a flight of stairs......2008...Not a good year for the GOP.
