Palin is the best choice for VEEP since either Harry Truman or Teddy Roosevelt, and for the same reasons.

Patti Davis seems like a lost soul.
That was a pathetic and biased article.
it was also a typical liberal article, crying for government aid.
Newsweek is so biased it has no credibility anymore. You are no better than Joseph Gerbils if you use the power of the press to present information in a manner designed to indoctrinate your audience! Newsweek management: Perhaps you should divide your organization into two sub-groups. One espouses your current world view. You staff the other group with people who advocate an alternate position. Then present what both camps come up with.
I hope Hillary reads and acts on this. I've been a fan of hers from the first day she entered the race and remain disappointed she isn't the Democratic nominee. However, I continue to look to her for leadership--not because she is a woman, but because she is competent, articulate, passionate and is a woman for our time. If Obama offers nothing more than a classy approach (vs. carping, sarcasm, bitterness, etc.--typical of the responses I've seen and heard from the Republicans. Why don't they read 1776 and get a fix on wht this country stands for--including separation of church and state. Come back soon Hillary.
Glad to read..I am not the only who misses Hillary. Palin is portrayed as an innovator and a voice for women. She has nothing more than the product of the Republican machine. She has yet to define herself. I have not seen anything outstanding accomplishment so far in her political career.
Newsweek has become so liberal in its views that it is fully discredited.... What propaganda... No different than Joseph Gerbils. Newsweek management: Consider dividing your organization into two sub-groups. One could be composed of your existing staff. The other group could advocate for the other side. Then you could present content from both groups so you provided some balance in your coverage.
Glad to read..I am not the only one who misses Hillary. Palin is nothing but a by-product of the republican machine. She has yet to break groubd. At least Hillary from the beggining always chased the impossible.
This article gives people the impression that all women were for Hillary Clinton, when most women that I know would vote for anyone, but Hillary, as we considered her to be egotistical and part of the Washington Elite.
Palin is a fresh breath of air. She is not drawing from former Hillary voters, but , from Obama supporters.
I see that Palin has sucked you in with her style and beauty. Don't be fooled by that! She will drive the country into women having very few rights that we have fought so hard to obtained.
Just because she is a women doesn't mean she is for us!! She is for herself and is a very cut throat person who only looks out for her self and putting another notch on her belt!
Keep reading about her before you make any final judgement as to who you will vote for.
>Comment: And I have gotten two e-mails that had nothing to say except wonderful praise. So who is right? I am sure it is some Obamabot that is trying to smear the woman. <
Actually Anne Kilkenny is a real live woman from Palin's town. They quoted her in the NYT this morning.
here is some of her letter
Sarah complained about the ???old boy???s club??? when she first ran for Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of ???old boys???. Palin fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people, creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally grateful and fiercely loyal???loyal to the point of abusing their power to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the case of pressuring the State???s top cop (see below).
As Mayor, Sarah fired Wasilla???s Police Chief because he ???intimidated??? her, she told the press. As Governor, her recent firing of Alaska???s top cop has the ring of familiarity about it. He served at her pleasure and she had every legal right to fire him, but it???s pretty clear that an important factor in her decision to fire him was because he wouldn???t fire her sister???s ex-husband, a State Trooper. Under investigation for abuse of power, she has had to admit that more than 2 dozen contacts were made between her staff and family to the person that she later fired, pressuring him to fire her ex-brother-in-law. She tried to replace the man she fired with a man who she knew had been reprimanded for sexual harassment; when this caused a public furor, she withdrew her support.
She has bitten the hand of every person who extended theirs to her in help. The City Council person who personally escorted her around town introducing her to voters when she first ran for Wasilla City Council became one of her first targets when she was later elected Mayor. She abruptly fired her loyal City Administrator; even people who didn???t like the guy were stunned by this ruthlessness.
Fear of retribution has kept all of these people from saying anything publicly about her.

I am going to FOX NEWS, wow, your explaination for everything you said was full of judgement, insult to our sex, and just downright divisive. YOU and your thinking are what's wrong with this country. When did the "ONE Nation Under God" become just something we hold in our purses or pockets because it's on our coins? ONE ONE ONE means unity, love among our fellow americans, and I am tired......so very tired of polictics......
Comment: Where is the precedent for a losing primary candidate working to get the winner elected? Most offer up a perfunctory endorsement and move on with their lives, so why are the rules different for Hillary? Many of the Obama zealots loathe Hillary and couldn't wait to get her off the stage but now its up to her to get their candidate elected. I guess it's time for him to write up an IOU for the first vacancy on the Supreme Court.
What a bunch of crap! Since when is either gender or political party more important that who can do the the best job for America? NEWSWEEK has once more reminded me why I cancelled my subscription to this leftist liberal elitist rag. You disparage the very qualities that neiher you nor your party's best (???) possess. The Democrats should be aschamed that they cannot do better. Pure jealousy when a woman's real life experience shows up the opposing party's prime candicates. I would be ashamed to even mention being a community organizer as a qualification to the nation's highst office. Its pathetic beyond comprehension and a sorry commentary on the emotionally stupid supporters who are so desperate to regain the White House.. If you wanted a real viable candidate for president, you should have picked Rep. John Dingell of Michigan who has one great record of real accomplishment and who is a true patriot thta both parties could support without question.
Patti Davis, you came from Adam rib, so get over it?
I did not write this; the original author is listed at the end of the post, including her email address. After reading it I felt I had to share it, as widely as possible - it's just too important not to.

ABOUT SARAH PALIN
I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992. Everyone here knows Sarah, so it is nothing special to say we are on a first-name basis. Our children have attended the same schools. Her father was my child's favorite substitute teacher. I also am on a first name basis with her parents and mother-in-law. I attended more City Council meetings during her administration than about 99% of the residents of the city.
She is enormously popular; in every way she???s like the most popular girl in middle school. Even men who think she is a poor choice and won't vote for her can't quit smiling when talking about her because she is a "babe".
It is astonishing and almost scary how well she can keep a secret. She kept her most recent pregnancy a secret from her children and parents for seven months.
She is "pro-life". She recently gave birth to a Down's syndrome baby. There is no cover-up involved, here; Trig is her baby.
She is energetic and hardworking. She regularly worked out at the gym.
She is savvy. She doesn't take positions; she just "puts things out there" and if they prove to be popular, then she takes credit.
Her husband works a union job on the North Slope for BP and is a champion snowmobile racer. Todd Palin???s kind of job is highly sought-after because of the schedule and high pay. He arranges his work schedule so he can fish for salmon in Bristol Bay for a month or so in summer, but by no stretch of the imagination is fishing their major source of income. Nor has her life-style ever been anything like that of native Alaskans.
Sarah and her whole family are avid hunters.
This is not the entire letter and some has been left out. Palin is not the person you think she is. If you want someone didictating to you then fine. I feel we can all make up our own mind regarding to have a baby or not. Keep reading ladies and you will find the true answer about Palin. You might even change your mind about her. Hopefully, it won't be tooo late!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is guilty of this "automatic assumption" that women will fall in line behind a female candidate? That's a rather arrogant and insulting assessment of the Palin pick. Not surprising, however. The most vocal proponents of this type of thinking have come from the establishment women's movement itself. Palin doesn't fit the idiological mold, therefore she is unfit. As a female, I'm tired of NOW's message to the women of America: get in lockstep with our small tent thinking or you will be branded as unworthy...and we will set out to discredit you.
Patti Davis, you came from Adam/s Rib so get over it!
Quality of character? You sure do not expect much Patti!
This article is a disgrace to all women, as it implies that only Hillary Clinton understands women and women issues. Give us women some credit! Most women I know would not vote for Hillary at all, and would vote for the other candidate in order not to let her get into office!
Palin, on the other hand, seems to be down-to-earth, and thinks more like the women of this country. My vote is now switched from Obama to McCain.
Last night, I forward this post about Palin, this morning it had been deleted!! What do they have to hide??
I fowarded this post to Foxnews... they had it deleted.
Just a general question to all of you who say you're "offended" by the way the media has talked about Sarah Palin's "personal" family business.
Were you there when they discussed for the whole world to see, then President Clinton's penis and what it looked like? Did you complain when the media talked about Obama being born in Kenya and therefore not "American?" Did you speak out when the New Yorker magazine depicted Obama as a Muslim and his wife as an Angela-davis type terrorist, complete with AK47 and bullets across her chest? Did you say anything at all when FOX NEWS questioned Senator Obama's affectionate fist bump with his wife,as being a "terrorist fist bump?" How about when some woman on Fox said that OBama AND OSama should BOTH be killed? Or even when Hillary Clinton reminded everyone that Obama COULD STILL BE ASSINATED! As if we need to be reminded of what happened to MLK, RFK or JFK. Hmmmm. And please tell me WHY the assassinated people are always Democrats and are always the ones who teach restraint, love and peace? Not that assassination is ever the answer, but do Republicans EVER wonder why the WAR mongers are never killed? When you can answer all of my questions, I'll vote for a Republican. Honest.
Oh please..you can't be serious. Pull out your history book from under the TV and look up Lincolin, Ford & Reagan. All were republican and all were targets for assasination. A bullet doesn't give a squat about what party you belong to. So, I will be expecting you to vote for McCain/Palin now sedonakaren, or are you just like all the rest of the Dems. Big talkers, but when things get tight it is time to run.
BTW, while we are on the subject of penises, why is it the Dems can't keep theirs in their pants. Lets take a good look at all three Kennedys, Gary Hart, John Edwards, and the biggest whoredawg of them all Slick Willie Clinton. Why are all the whore chasers Democrats?
You're kidding right, I mean you can't be serious. Pull out your history book and look up Abraham Lincolin Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, all Republicans and all were targets for assasination. Bullets don't care what party you belong to. You owe me a vote sedonakaren.
Lets flip the coin some, why do the Democrats have no morals what so ever? Lets look at Gary Hart, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards and the biggest whoredawg of them all, Slick Willie Clinton. How come the democrats can't keep their zippers up? Answer that on, and I will give you your vote back
