Hillary Rah-Rahs Palin

Clinton has already done more than any defeated candidate to support the winner – especially one who received such harsh treatment from her party and the “liberal” media. I don’t blame her for sounding moderate on Palin. Go Girl!

McCain gave us the “CHANGE” AND “HOPE” that Obama has been talking about. Obama talks the talk but McCain delivers.

Since the DNC set up a primary process in which party bosses and super delegates could trump the voters (and in the aftermath, shafting Michigan, Florida, and Hillary), I think it is great H. Clinton seems to be taking the high road on the RNC VP pick. (Note – with the superdelegate scheme, the DNC had governors of states casting their votes for Obama when their states went Hillary (e.g., NM) – and probably even vice versa).
DNC party bosses had their selection in the bag for him since even before 2004 when Obama was tapped to give the 2004 DNC keynote address; which as a play by Kerry and Kennedy to spite the Clintons… funny how “Democrat” has so many syllables in common with “democracy” – the 2 couldn’t be further apart. Obama was a setup. Hillary got screwed though she won the primary.

lmao Obamie tried to diss Palin and it backfired big time.. This big eared Goof of the democrat party is in over his head now.. As reported by ABC the “biden” bill may create more than 200,000 forclosures. yep keep up the good work dems..

I’ve just been watching SP give highlights for a sports report. Not sure what to think. She twice said that one team “killed” the other. Perhaps this is an 80′s thing…or an Alaska thing.

Wow, what power the Clintons have. Every where you read it’s all about the Clintons and what they say or don’t say. Bet after the Obama’s defeat in November they will be right back at the helm of the Democratic party. Move over Scream.
Go Palin.

Palin will be something Obama never could be–one of the guys. Those clinging to their guns guys. They are going to love this woman.
And female Republicans/Independents have their own hero–their Hillary.
Obama supporters are so afraid of Palin they have resorted to defending Hillary.
Obama/Biden look pretty boring compared to the two mavericks. Obama talks change and McCain delivers.

Jay, I think Hillary is much closer in her point of views to Palin than she is to Obama. Please, I am a Dem. and I don’t really have a strong feeling about pro-choice stand. I am a Hillary supporter and will vote for McCain and happy to see another strong woman coming on board on the political scene.

Palin definitely clinched it for me. Before it was hold my nose and vote McCain. Now I can do it and feel good about it. I have always been a pro-life Democrat, but the DNC’S treatment of Hillary sickened me, and I can’t stand Obama. I hope he will be soundly defeated. MCCAIN/PALIN ’08.

Clintons gave Obama 7 points bounce, can this “YES WE CAN” guy does something for himself without Clinton’s help?? I am so happy that Hillary came out and congradulated Palin. Please Hillary if you read this, DON’T DISRESPECT PALIN because she is a Rep. She is a strong woman and has more guts and experience than Barry, who seems to be fake and phony.

Obama, made a major political mistake on not getting Hillary and bringing the whole party together, period!
McCain helped his campaign by picking another maverick and female who can stand up to anyone. Palin has as much experience as Obama on top of his ticket. Palin is a new inspiring pick the republicans need. She has 80 percent approval in Alaska and is the most popular Governor in America. She taxed oil companies and gave it all back to Alaska’s taxpayers at $1,200 each.
Obama is a smart inspiring speaker, but Palin’s actions speak louder than political words. She has fought corruption in both parties in Alaska. When she speaks she says it like it is, unlike polished career politicians. Some people can talk the talk, but Palin can walk the walk. Anyone with doubts about Palin should watch her interview with Maria Bartiromo on CNBC.
People are talking negatively about Palin without knowing all the facts about what she has achieved, including the media because they are in love with Obama. The media is saying McCain picked Palin because of Hillary not being picked and I love Hillary, but Sarah is the real deal for republicans and she gives them a new face that they need to reform their party. The republican party has always been for the rich and special interests, Sarah represents “we the people” and is against government waste and the good old boy network, this is just what republicans need to fix their image and party direction.
Now the race is exciting and change is coming to both parties! History will be made period with either Obama or McCain!

Barack Obama, you are no JFK, MLK or any other decent Democrat I have heard about in the last 50 years. You a most corrupt guy from the Chicago machine that will say and do anything to get elected. How many politicians/business people are being investigated, are indicted or in jail that were your associates or supporters.
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO OBAMA, NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

Libs are in a tither. Palin for VP is more qualified than BO is to be prez. And the good new is “she is no Hillary Clinton.” BO has no experience except to run for office.

Lord! McCain first Exec decision. he screwed up. Are you people will give him a chance to decide for this country?

It is a shame Hillary drank the koolaid.
You have to give her credit, She Honored her word.
I do Beleive Palin will Protect and Defend the Constitution, Protect and Defend Her Country. She will do what is in the best interest of the Country and the people.
She is a far better choice for VP, than Obama is for President.
I am sure Obama will get evil and dig up anything he can on her, if she removed a hang nail the wrong way he will use that against her.
Mr Obama has proven with his own track record he is evil, with his lies, deceit, twisting of facts and statements, smears and Chicago land tactics.
He will attack her evily and mericeless, Blame her for anything he can. For that is all he knows.

Gov. Palin doesn’t have decades of experience as a DC insider. But then Barack Obama is inexperienced as well and he’s running for president, not VP. Sarah Palin has had two years of executive experience in state government, has fought corruption in her own party and has stood up to Big Oil as governor. Can Obama or Biden match that? I am a lifelong centrist Democrat who cannot vote for a book author who has lectured on constitutional law and hitched his star to the Daley political machine in Chicago. Another Democrat for McCain/Palin.

McShame is a fool to think Hillliary supportering is being used so McShame can win. No I don’t think Hilliary is being to soft on her at this presented time. There will be penty of time for Hilliary to dig into Palin.
Will she rise to the task?
Yes, she will when the time is right. Yesterday was not the time.

It’s a shame when republicans have to pretend to be disgruntled democrats. LMAO
Support your candidate and let us know why you support them, not faking being a democrat to put a wedge. Talk about how great your candidate is like the Obama folks do.

I think Palin was a great choice.As to the anti-abortion views: The President is not a King. George Washington already made that clear.

I have to say that it was hardly a Rah- Rah!
She is still a typical Republican, with a Republican agenda. You know, Tax me, but not them, Big Oil, Big Business, religous right, knee jerk reactions, Party first, I have mine mentality, and let us raise the fees.
Oh, let’s send Alaska’s bills to the lower 48.

If women fall for this cheap ploy, this ridiculous trick, it only proves how stupid we are as a nation. Sarah Palin is no doubt a strong woman but she will not advance women’s rights. As a matter of fact she will undermine them. How cynical and calculating a pick this is. I can’t believe women in America will throw away the progress they have made to have a TOKEN woman on the ballot. She is no Hillary Clinton!

I really don’t know how everyone can honestly say that Palin has all that much LESS experience than the rest of the candidates McCain had to choose from.
Ridge and Lieberman were not viable options for McCain anyway, as well as Hutchison and Snowe who are both pro-choice.
Romney was a ONE TERM (4 years) Governor from Massachusetts. All he had to offer in addition to that was his experience in business (which Palin also has, by the way), and a failed bid for the Presidency. Plus the fact that he is almost twenty years OLDER than Palin, and is MALE.
Pawlenty had a few years in the state legislature (just like the inexperienced Obama), and has just a couple of more years under his belt as Governor.
Other than the fact that these two are MALE, and a little bit older (in Pawlenty’s case anyway), I don’t see how either of these two are that much MORE experienced than Palin.
I think it just boils down to the fact that these critics feel better with a MAN at the helm, as opposed to a woman.

hillary is not obama’s mama. she did her job at the convention, as did bill. now it is time for boy wonder to step up to the plate. he and obama supporters gotta get out from behind hillary’s pantsuit geez!
hillary supporter in new mexico

Woman led man into taking fruit from the tree of knowledge. While you would have voted democrat for a woman now ya’ll fil flop to republican just because of the gender. Very amusing. Go ahead and vote for them so we can give the rich more tax cuts and the power to the oil companies(the most profitable business)

Somehow the election has shifted its focus to Senator McCain’s impetuous decision to pick Governor Palin of Alaska as his running mate, rather than stay on course, in which I see being the main issues, our sagging economy and questionable foreign policy.
However, I will say this, Ms. Palin’s decision to accept the nomination for Vice President, without a doubt, creates serious concerns to serve in this capacity. As a parent myself, balancing equal time between work and family can be challenging. Governor Palin has small children, including a baby with Down syndrome, something that strikes a sensitive cord, since my first born succumb to an illness much similar to this one. Had my 4-day old daughter lived, it would have required much of my time in attending to her special needs and treatment throughout her lifetime.
The Vice President position comes with a great deal of responsibility, equally important as the job of President. A PART-TIME VICE PRESIDENT IS UNACCEPTABLE. Either Governor Palin will end up lacking in her obligations to fulfill motherhood duties, or struggle in effort to carry out that which is expected of her as V.P. This is not a small state like Alaska. It’s the United States of America that cannot accept anything less than to have someone WE TRUST to hold office.

Why is anyone looking for Sen Clinton to attack Gov Palin, Sen Clinton is not on the democrated ticket and besides isn’t that why Obama wanted Biden to be the attack dog? Sen Clinton has done more than any losing nominee in history, this is Obama’s campaign and he has to be a big boy and deal with it and stop looking for Sen Clinton to get him out of bad situation. I think Sen Clinton did the right thing, Gov Palin gave her high praises how would it look if she attack her. Then the news would be calling Sen Clinton a bitter jealous woman. The DNC has nominated Obama, Sen Clinton should focus on the state of New York and let obama do his own dirty work.

and Jerry Carrier
I don’t think it was the woman from Norther Exposure
It was Karen Walker that Mccain picked yesterday for VP. I swear that was Karen Walker at the podium yeaterday… McCain did his best “just jack” impression.
everyone needs to read the newsweek article this woman didn’t know what the VP did in an interview this past year…
Kudlow had to explain things to her.
she has not paid “much attention” to Iraq.
She has almost no knowledge of 95% of the issues that are inherent to being President.

Is Obama the Democratic Nominee or is Clinton?
Clinton gave the Democratic radio address today. Obama’s campaign is scared out of their pants.
You are suppose to be the nominee, not Clinton but you keep on focusing on her, keep on asking her to fight your battles. That is not her job. She gave you the speech. Obama needs to get some grit and get to work to win this. He has two months to prove himself. that is 65 days until election.

“McCain’s impetuous decision to pick Governor Palin”
Impetuous? You have no friggin idea about the behind the scenes process in politics so go away.
“Either Governor Palin will end up lacking in her obligations to fulfill motherhood duties, or struggle in effort to carry out that which is expected of her as V.P.”
Retrogressive liberal, there is a nice garment that sells pretty cheaply and comes in one size fits all that you might have interest in purchasing to fit your retro mindset, it’s called a burka.

Palin holds a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism from the University of Idaho, and two years as the governor of a state with the population of Omaha Nebraska. I don’t want her negotiating with Vladimir Putin. I wonder if she has ever been off of the continent?

Why do I get the feeling that Sarah Palin is currently on a reality TV show?

I wonder who Sen. McSame will propose as his Secretary of State–the dogcatcher from Truth of Consequences, New Mwxico?

knowledge and judgment
Mccain’s got knowledge and bad judgment.
Palin’s got absolutely no knowledge…and her judgment
she does not believe evolution should be taught and believes that global warming has nothing to do with us.
she does not believe in science really…
especially if it flatly contradicts and gets in the way of her other beliefs

Senator Clinton, stay away from these dirty political tricks. Take a long vacation and come back in 2012.

Putin – Her kids need to be her first job not running the USA. It is not like she have just one kid. She have five kids and a sick baby. Most women find it to be unfair to her kids.

I have one thing to say to Hillary supporters who now plan to support McCain/Palin. Shame on you. You want to support a woman who just recently said she couldn’t stand Hillary’s “whining.” Excuse me? Whining? I don’t think I’d categorize Hillary’s accomplishments and calls for change as “whining.” This woman is the antithesis of Hillary Clinton. Don’t forget, Palin also doesn’t believe climate change is man-made. I suppose her bachelor’s degree in Journalism also qualifies her as a scientist. Please don’t dishonor Hillary Clinton’s decades of leadership and accomplishment by voting McCain/Palin.

Go ge her and she will they need to win and she will do all she can for after Obama she isa on the White house next….She will do all she can to move in that direction…..

“The Vice President position comes with a great deal of responsibility, equally important as the job of President. A PART-TIME VICE PRESIDENT IS UNACCEPTABLE. Either Governor Palin will end up lacking in her obligations to fulfill motherhood duties, or struggle in effort to carry out that which is expected of her as V.P. This is not a small state like Alaska.”
Hey, Clueless, read the article about her being asked to be VP. In a nutshell, she said If it’s not full-time, hard work, I don’t want the job.
“It’s the United States of America that cannot accept anything less than to have someone WE TRUST to hold office.”
At least you said one thing right. Obama is a walking mystery novel. Can’t trust him.
McCain/Palin 08

A woman in high office in my life time? Who’d have believed it! She seems to be a successful governor of Alaska and they seem to love her. She seems like a real honest down to earth person to me. Now she is going to be learning foreign policy from the experience she gains from McCain. I was going to stay home this election but no longer.

gl does she know who Putin is…never mind the details and history of their nuyclear armaments…or the politics of their government…or where Georgia is?
I do not think she does?
so she is going to tak e over…
that’s John mcCain’s judgment pick the person to take over for him that has no idea about the world…has no history or commentary…
she was asked about Iraq…and in not being able to answer she says “I haven’t really been paying attention to Iraq?”
THIS is who John McCain picks to take over as the leader of the free world!!!!!
are you freakin kidding me!!!!

I am really disappointed in the Palin pick by Senator McCain. The reasons are many but I’d just like to comment on two: 1 If Mcain was elected to the Presidency at age 72, it is very likely that this woman with only a BSC degree would become President. She never went through the longest Primary campaign in history nor was she ellected by any party to run for this position. 2 Of all the people in the Republican Party there must be someone more qualified to fill this role than this woman from Alaska with 5 children or 3 children to care for including a 4 yo. Yes she might be a super woman but if she is the best that McCain has to offer, shame on him and may God help us.

Being an old desert rat from Arizona, it hurt to see John McCain throw the keys to the Whitehouse and Senator Obama. How I wish that Romney or Huckabee had made the ticket. I now fear for tomorrow and even more for my country

LuAnn – Obama called Clinton Annie Oakley. That’s worse to me – especially when he was dressed like Steve Irkel trying to bowl for votes in Pennsylvania.

grandma0f6
she would be the first and the last woman VP..
“she’ll be LEARNING foreign policy from John McCain”
you did not just say that.

Palin has more experience and leadership than Obama. I hear one more crack in the ceiling.

i wonder if someone will ask palin if she plans to take 75% of the vice-president’s usual salary of $208,100 since she agrees with mccain when he “dismissed the importance of equal pay, saying that women simply need ‘education and training.’”
hmm…maybe that’s why he chose palin. it’s another one of mccain’s strategies to cut government spending.

“Obama’s worst nightmare–another woman tougher and more experienced than he is.”

As the governor of one of the most important states in the union to the United States’ economy, Palin has as much or more experience than Obama–and she’s not the one on the top of the ticket! As an executive, she has to make decisions every few minutes. She doesn’t have the luxury of a legislator to sit back on committees, pick a couple issues of interest, or vote “present.” Governors can’t vote “present!” If she were a democratic governor or the governor of an east coast state, we would already have heard TONS about the “superstar reformer.” etc., from the liberal, northeast media.

I hope Palin has time to write her acceptance speech for next week’s GOP convention. Wait a minute, forget that, Karl Rove already wrote it for her.

This VP pick is not about Obama or Hillary. What matters most for either party is that can the person chosen to be VP readily step in and make presidential decisions at a moments notice? This person must be able to consider what is best for our country, for all people. That takes a very intelligent, broad-minded, experienced, compassionate indivdual. We have too much at stake in this country and too much mess to clean up for someone to come in needing on the job training. We must keep what matters most in perspective during this election no matter who we vote for. We need strong, sound leadership!!!!

It seems irresponsible to me that McCain would put us in a position where we could suddenly have as our president a woman who 2 years ago was a small-town mayor.
She seems like a fine, interesting, woman, but not PRESIDENT material. The VP choice should always be someone who would be capable of taking over the #1 job.
I don’t think McCain (a man in his early 70s who has had bouts of cancer) is putting the needs of our country first, with this choice.

McCain has changed the landscape of this election. Up until now, he was the ‘bad boy” for trying to prevent us from making history by electing the first african american as President.
Well, way to go McCain! Sarah Palin boasts a 80% approval rating – (somethiing ANY politician dreams of achieving) stands up to Congress, Repulicans, Democrats & the good ole boys to boot. She has her feet and ideals firmly planted on the ground and understands the reality of my kitchen table.
Heck, in addition to her effective governing of Alaska – not an easy place to live; Sarah Palin impresses me with her accomplishments in real life – successfully raising a large family while maintaining a strong marriage (not just a business partnership as the Clintons have offered.
It is appropriate for the Obama/Biden/Clinton train to recognize her in a positive way and then off with the boxing gloves for the debates.
I have a feeling Sarah can more then stand up and defend her record and choices in life with out help from anyone.

Funny how all these obamabots spewed their hate and venom at Hillary but now they want her to help their weak candidate and his weaker still, VP!
McCain-Palin ’08
Hillary 2012!!!!

I agree Jake – her failure, once again, to point out the differences between Palin and herself leave people scratching their heads and wondering what she is up to. Palin is anti choice, anti equal rights, anti environment, pro creationism, and pro oil. If Hillary Clinton does not agree with these stances, she should be very clear about that – isn’t it sexism for her to only acknowledge the fact that Palin could break the ultimate glass ceiling? Is that the only thing this VP nominee represents to Clinton? Sad, sad, sad.

It’s amazing how many brainwashed Obama supporters their really are. Palin’s time as mayor and governor alone give her much more experience then Obama in running things. I think they’re still trying to find a single thing that Obama has accomplished during his time in the senate. Obama’s only talking point is that he was against going to war in Iraq. I’m sorry I would rather have Palin as VP over a president who has friendships and ties with terrorists, crooked businessmen, and a America hating church.

Palin has more experience and leadership than Obama. I hear one more crack in the ceiling.

Here’s some perspective for you Martha!
Palin won Govenor of Alaska with just 115,000 votes. Now, 80,000 people packed Invesco Field to here Obama’s acceptance speech on Thursday night. Want more? Alaska is 1/4, that’s right one quarter the size of Brooklyn NY.
Finally, Obama is a Harvard Grad and Legal Scholar and Palin is a former beauty queen who majored in journalism? She wanted to be a sports reporter for ESPN until she was told she’d have to move to Briston Connecticut.

A no foreign experience President or a no experience Vice President. Lets have a frank talk about experience then!

Palin is over-reaching. Her ego is much higher than her abilities. We already have ego rather than substance in the White House. The very fact she accepted the VP position should scare this nation. People who don’t realize when they are totally out of their league are truly dangerous if asked to perform.

Listen everyone this is a great pick. We and the politicians know that new younger age and new generation have to step in somewhere along the line in Washington. First you have (inexperience) Obama and now you have (tough) Palin lets get over ourselves and let these 2 youngster ride themselves out that’s the only way we can change Washington, that’s the only way you can bring in new generation to Washington. The best thing is both of these youngster is being stood behind by 2 longtime politician, what mistake can they make? except when 3am hits and the phone rings and Obama have to answer “oh….uh…can you hold on let me get Biden on the phone”.

obama get out from behind hillary’s pantsuit.
send out your attack dog mr self-proclaimed ‘i’m a zionist’ biden.

Why are Obama supporters now so hysterical about Palin’s ‘experience’. Wasn’t the message that it was not Obama’s experience that mattered but his judgement and dedication to ‘change’? Well, I’ll take a tough reformer like Sarah Palin who is not afriad to bring her own party to task over a highly political opportunist like Obama any day.

“Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency?”

McCain made a quick and rash decision. You call that good judgement? The way I see it, he is fascinated with beauty queens and fell in political love at first sight with this woman. As a woman myself, and a Hillary supporter, there is no substance in this political marriage. Furthermore it insults my intelligence to think that as a Hillary supporter I would run to this “In-McSain” ticket. No way, no how, NO MCCAIN!

I wanted Hillary to be the first female president. And that still might happen one day.
But if something happen to McCain and Palin becomes president I would trust her judgement way more than Obama’s.
And as Obama says–it’s not about experience it’s about judgement.
Until someone proves Palin has a nutty anti-American pastor and terrorist friends I’ll trust her more any day.

Why are Obama supporters now so hysterical about Palin’s ‘experience’.

Probably because when she was asked about Iraq she actually said that she hadn’t given it much thought. Considering that her son is now heading there really makes her sound like a complete idiot! I think what’s really odd is that McClown only met her once!
What this says about this pick is that his Country First line is just that! It smacks of desperation. Why didn’t he pick Condi Rice? At least she would be able to actually speak about foreign policy. Joe Biden will eat her lunch!

Clinton should stay out. How many times should she bail out Obama. Stop asking it from her! Clinton has done her bit, now McCain reaps the seeds Obama and Dems gave him by being an old boy’s network. Palin might be just what the doctor ordered to the McCharacter campaign.

wdj…tkanks for the info…I wasn’t sure until I read you perspective! I always have to laugh when the pot calls the kettle….well… “inexperienced” in this case! You are right about the liberal mindset…especially issues regarding race and sex! They claim to be champions on these issues and yet their true colors are not hard to see!

“He is not an actor reading lines.”
He’s not a Presidential candidate he just plays one on CNN and MSNBC.

O-M-G
FOX NEWS is attempting to act as if there are NO COMMENTS about how Palin was vetted. They did this after McCain’s houses gaffe too. This shows WHAT a DISASTER they fear this choice is. The houses story had over 5000 posts at Huff Po, and yesterday Palin had 9000 posts.
The level of denial at FOX is breath taking…really FOX no republican commented on Palin..REALLY?

Most neutral observers are scratching their heads over this pick. McCain’s strongest argument against Obama, and one he’s used over and over, is that Obama doesn’t have the experience to be President. How can his first major personnel choice be someone with demonstrably less experience than Obama (6 years as mayor of a village with 5400 people and 21 months as governor vs. 8 years in the Illinois state senate and 3 1/2 years in the U.S. Senate)? Doesn’t that undermine his whole campaign? With so many solid choices available like governors Romney, Pawlenty, Sanford, and Ridge, why a total unknown who is being investigated by her own (Republican-controlled) legislature for possible ethical violations? What is McCain thinking? That women will vote for McCain, simply because there is a woman on his ticket? Nope. Hillary supporters are already lambasting the choice as insulting.

When will Obama stand on his own two feet like a man? Apparently never, as he still expects Hillary to fight his battles for him and Papa Joe to hold his hand on foreign affairs. What a wimp!

dfugate – what has biden changed? he’s been around DC longer than McCain.
PS: what did Obama change in Chicago and in Illinois?

At least she’s really hot.

And yes, I am PO’d that B.O. did not pick her as his running mate!!! Then had the nerve to ask her for her support!
Posted by: SBern
But Obama foot some of her $ 11 million bill ?
(Thats the monetary bill, not her husband) Obama
even asked his supporters to give to her campaign
fund to bring down this debt, which we did. How
about getting all of those 18 million supporters
to give a couple bucks each to help her instead of
the rhetoric that has been said.
FYI, Biden is 65 YO, and there is a good possibility
that Obama would pick Hillary in 2012 because
Biden would be too old for 2016 elections. Think
about it at 73 YO being a president? Only a party
not thinking of its future would do that.

Palin got it right when she said McCain was the only candidate that actually fought for his country.
I don’t care if I see pictures of McCain’s POW experience everyday.
That picture of McCain limping off the plane is powerful. Far better than the image of Obama’s pastor cursing America.
McCain/Palin08

Obama – affirmative action education, failed numerous entry tests for college
Palin – scholarship 3.79 GPA
McCain/Palin = Winners in ’08

Anyone one who once said they would vote for Clinton and switch to Palin.
The only argument they truly have for voting for her is that she is a women…
I’m a woman and I see right through it.
The difference is that I am not a dumb woman voting for a woman just because she is a woman. No wonder some men think we are dumb. Mcsame is playing on your intellegence. Your vote would be a vote on gender not intellegence.
Wake up!!!

hoax
Palin was only launched as a HOAX, McCain will have a big belly laugh at his BIRTHDAY prank,the first day at the convention he’ll name his real VP.
We will laugh along in sheer relief, when Romney is announced. McCain you SLY old rascal.
Come on, no one really thought John was going to turn over control of America to “Ann Coulter of the KLONDIKE.”

If Obama/Biden feel they have to go easy on Palen for fear of appearing chauvinistic, Obama is to blame, not Hillary Clinton. It seems no matter what happens in this election, Hillary will be the scapegoat for anything that goes wrong.

Spacerook,
Do you honestly think that he will pick Hillary in 2012? Come on! He had the perfect opportunity to pick her in 2008. I am not willing to sit at his mercy to pick her. Plus, we want her as President and not the VP.

can you all see McCain’s face when they tell him she was interviewed right after he announced her and she said
“I haven’t really been focused on Iraq”
and that she is telling people that globakl warming has nothing to do with us.
Just imagine McCain’s face at the lobbyist advisers who vetted her.
Tell me yopu all can’t see that face…lol Red? and grimmaced?
Laser beams coming out of his eyes…lol.

I don’t see how it’s Hillary’s place to slam Palin. Hillary did her part at the convention now it’s time for Obama to try to bring it home. See this was my problem with Obama all along. He stole everything from Hillary’s policies, he stole her ideas, anything he could because he had no clue except hope and change. I can’t wait to see Obama lose in November now for not picking Hillary. We have a female on a ticket now and we are going to vote for McCain/Palin now! Let’s shatter that glass ceiling once and for all women!!!
McCain/Palin 08′

I have been dumbfounded by this decision of John McCain, not for his pandering to women – that was obvious – not for her extremely right views, I expected that of his vice presidential pick- but her complete lack of experience – no matter how you try and spin this she is unprepared for this job. So why would he pick someone like this? A previous post has brought out the tie between Alaska and the oil companies and believe me if she wants to drill in ANWAR the oil companies LOVE her. And, she is a regular of right radio talk shows like Rush Limbaugh, so we have oil companies and the extreme right. And John McCain tried to throw in those that have or had ovaries and thought he covered all the bases. I believe John McCain owes a big debt to someone close to Oil; that would explain all the Rove clones on his campaign staff. The Rove clones are watching his campaign carefully to make sure it runs the way the Oil companies want it to run. Why Palin? McCain cannot pull in the kind of money Obama can so they had to get the religious right to start writing checks, before Aug, 31st if your on his mailing list you got the email. There are many more qualified Republicans with the same ideals as Palin and some even have or had ovaries but he needed that religious money and he did it with Palin. So the conclusion – McCain owes a big debt to someone associated with Oil (maybe the Bushses, read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man pgs 190 – 195; My Energy Company, Enron, and George W. Bush). He is willing to throw the American citizen under the bus because his debt is so high. God Save us All.

I can’t believe the sexist attacks this lady is being hit with 24 hrs into her VP-run.
And of course the Obama people is playing the age-card without any apologies whatsoever, even though Obama himself said he wouldn’t early in the campaign. A “heartbeat” from the presidency, what is that if not attacking McCharacters’ age?
This woman is dangerous for Obama, not for being female – but it makes you think on the Clinton onslaughter, of course. Not for being inexperienced, although she match Obama on being a bit light. Palin should worry Obama because she’s clean. Fighting corruption without compromise, she hasn’t sold out like Obama has to get the biggest campaign wallet in history. If Obama used the same rules on hiring as McCain, he would have to fire the campaign head, Mr. Axelrod. Obama plans to travel the country and raise money, selling policy to the worst of people, when McCain – Palin do churches and campaign stops. Not having to worry about with public finances.

Perfect example of how Neo-Cons view women; “We’ve got the babe” Rush Limbaugh.

dl, you took the words right out of my mouth.
And as far as Hillary supporters are concerned, they will vote for Obama, because they want Hillary to be Sec. of Defense or on the Supreme Court.
Which I’m sure Obama can make happen for her.

A woman in high office in my life time? Who’d have believed it! She seems to be a successful governor of Alaska and they seem to love her. She seems like a real honest down to earth person to me. Now she is going to be learning foreign policy from the experience she gains from McCain. I was going to stay home this election but no longer. P.S. My neocon husband loves and respects me.

“complete lack of experience”….sounds like Obama to me! McCain has outdone the Bobsy twins and they are crying, again! Poor Obama…guess you can’t buy the White House even with all that welfare money!

“Palin called Hillary a whiner and you don’t think Hillary should slam her?”
Correction, zerO and his band of retrogressive liberals called Hillary a whiner, so why should she go to bat for him (besides that fact that come Nov. he’ll history).

“If Palin was such a bad pick, why is no one talking about Obama and his “brilliant” speech anymore?”

“THAT’S the most senior female candidate that the Republicans can come up with for VP, then the Republican party simply doesn’t deserve the female vote.”
But I guess it is Ok for the dems. to have a neophyte at the top of the ticket. Retrogressive double standard libs.

McCain gave us the “CHANGE” AND “HOPE” that Obama has been talking about. Obama talks the talk but McCain delivers.

of course Hillary won’t attack Palin — she wants Obama to lose so she can run again in 2012

You realize that HRC would be running agaisnt Palin, right??? And the the RNC loves nothing more than a good old Clinton bashing. They will put up Saint Sarah agaisnt HRC and it will be a blood bath. Please use your head this election cycle.

I’ve been researching Sen. Obama’s U.S. Senate record and I’ve only found two resolutions that he has sponsored (not co-sponsored)that have passed. S.CON.RES.46- A current resolution supporting the goals and ideas of sickle cell disease awareness. S.RES.133- A resolution celebrating the life of Bishop Gilbert Earl Patterson. Anyone else find anything more than this?

belle starr
“and four score and seven years ago”…
wasn’t as good as one of your comments …
can we stay with some reality…i know it’s hard … but it was a brilliant speech…
given for Obama…it may only be in his top 5 of brilliant speeches…
he is a really smart man I agree.

Obama made a big error, plain and simple, in not picking Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate. He better hope his ego does not get the best of him. If he has to depend on Hillary’s support to get into the White House what does that say about him and who he should have picked for Vice President.

I see the Republ is getting scare again and starting to lie that they were for Hilliary and now for McShame. A true Hilliary supporter will never for MShame. So please hang it up and is over for the Republ. Enjoy the moment becasue it will be short lived.
Obama/Biden 2008!

Isn’t it time for Obama to campaign for himself, instead of trying to continue to pin the blame for all his ills on Hillary? Hillary attacked Obama on his lack of experience. The electorate obviously felt that that did not matter. Hillary’s not going to go after Palin on the same matter at this point is she? That would be doing Obama a disservice.
Fact is, the Republican Party has now symbolically shown respect for women in a form that does not exist in the Democratic Party. The only woman to ever run for VP (Ferraro) was totally castigated by the party this time out.
By the way, brilliant move McCain. I’m still voting Democrat, but brilliant move. However, I expect many of Hillary’s followers will solidify behind McCain because of the respect issue.

JT You just expose the Obama’s weakness. More and More you bring Hillary to picture more the Obama become less important. If you really want to help Obama keep Hillary away from your discussion.

CHANGE. Pronouncing “Change” 49 different ways does not mean it is going to happen or what is will look like. Have people forgotten how to ask tough questions?
Gov. Palin’s critics fail to note that she has actually introduced real reforms and taken on her own political party, at the risk of her career. Barack Obama’s Chicago, on the other hand, has been a nationally recognized symbol of corrupt, heavy-handed politics for DECADES. As a resident, I have heard plenty about the scandals of corrupt Democratic and Republican governors, but Barack Obama was not the one bringing them down nor did he ever challenge any of corrupt members of the local executive branches by running against them in an election.
I have never heard even a peep about Obama taking on the corruption within his own Democratic Party in Chicago or in Illinois state politics – he seems to have mostly side-stepped it on his way to the top.
If Barack really were Theodore Roosevelt, he would by now have plenty of evidence to support it.
One can surely be forgiven for asking aloud whether Barack’s inability to reform Chicago sheds any light on his ability to reform Washington.
Compared with Joe Biden, Sarah Palin sounds much more like deep change, rather than just changing political ideology. Sen. Biden, well, Barack’s assertion that he has been reforming the Senate for the past thirty years rings very hollow indeed.
Wait a minute – wasn’t this supposed to be a contest between McCain and Obama?

“given for Obama…it may only be in his top 5 of brilliant speeches…”
Thing is that we need more than speeches. Do you get it?

Jake – If you call Hillary’s statement a “Rah Rah”, you obviously were never a cheerleader. I do think that what Hillary is trying to point out is that the four top spots will no longer speak as one from a male perspective.
You know, the worker bees of the Democratic Party, for decades, have been women. And only once has one of them been deemed “good enough” to be at the top. But such has been the experience of so many women in their educations and careers. So hopefully this will help you understand why we were, and still are, mad as hell.
I’m a Democrat and will vote for our candidate. But deep down inside me, I would love for the result in November to show the Democratic Party leadership that, because of the decisions THEY made, their ticket is ultimately unelectable.

“John McCain was told to take Palin. McCain did not make the decision… I’m done with puppet Presidents that do not control their own administrations. ” – Hey there, how do you know this is what happened? Sounds like you must be an insider of McCain camp? Nope, I don’t think so. Please do not make up stories like this. If you do, just go away.

Hillary can afford to be gracious and silent. All she has to do is be patient. A woman with this kind of giant ego and the disposition of a barracuda will quickly demonstrate her incompetence to be president of the greatest nation in the world. The Democrats can take the high road. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
When it comes right down to it, I think Americans will not put a combination like this as our Executive branch of govt. Many people are VERY concerned that she is currently under indictment for abuse of power. We’ve already had eight years of that from our current VP

It’s truly amazing. People referring to Palin’s inexperience. Obama has exactly NONE and he’s at the top of the ticket. Palin may be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, but Obama WILL be the president if elected. How does “community organizer” become a platform for qualification. Oh right, he’s a senator. But wait, what has he done as a senator? Nothing. He states McCain has voted with Buish 90% of time BUT he has the most LIBERAL voting record in the senate with Biden being 3rd. Where exactly is his ability to unite people and cross party lines evident in his past? Palin at least has experience running SOMETHING. Running a city or a State is multiple times more difficult than simply casting a vote on bills that others authored. Obama has NO experience and he’s on the top of the ticket. Face it, criticizing Palin is like throwing a boomerang.

DL. Respect to you and all points considered. However, do you really believe Obama when he dreams that he can negotiate with Iran? I’d like to see the movie reel.
My comment is purely rhetorical of course.
It’s fine to talk about how Obama can spin an academic essay when discussing world politics, but backing up your opinions with actions is a far greater test when one’s feet are being held to the fire. And that will be the fun part to observe if he gets elected.

Hillary has been beaten down by the arrogant Obama, Howard Dean and the entire press that has fallen for Obama hook line & sinker. Despite all that, she has risen…and risen & risen to the task time and again in supporting the party that she and Bill Clinto revived and rebuit. How much FREAKING “rising to the task” do people want?
At this point she could climb the Washington Monument and scream “Vote for Obama” and NOBODY is going to believe her after all the crap that was hurled at her.
the real question is “What do people want from Hillary Clinton???!!!”. It seems there’s no end.

“I feel kind of bad for McCain.
Stuck not being allowed from the right wing to make his own decisions.”
And also feel sorry for zerO, his best bet was Hillary but the good ole boy liberal network wants to keep the ticket gender exclusive. And all the other male choices he made told him, thanks but no thanks. So he’s lucky Biden said yes. Even Biden comments repeatedly about his number two spot. I wonder what kickbacks from Chicago Biden is getting for his sacrifice.

Saddlesablazing,
What kind of trigger is a “necular trigger”?

Unbelievable polar opposites — Palin is a beauty, intelligent, actually values Family, knows the actual function of Gvt., does not seem corrupt, actually works for the people of all race and gender — not just lip service, has a moral compass and is proud of being an American and of her Country……WOW!
Barack, Joey and Hillery are, well, extremely just the opposite. THEY have proven that time after time (even the Beauty part).
Excellent choice! Which is why this ticket will be difficult to elect. The American public seems to better relate to scandel, corruption and lies. Sure says a lot about the people of America.

Oh, PLEASE, give me a break. Why should she ‘rise to the task’? Her job is done. And, it is about time that the main stream media and others stopped using her as Obama’s scapegoat.
If Mr. Obama wants to play with the ‘big boys’ (China, Russia, etc..), then he should ‘man up’ and take responsibility for the success or failure of his own actions. Instead, he points the finger at everyone but himself. Democrats should appreciate the fact that this sounds like someone else we have been dealing with for 8 years.
I am sick of hearing people support him in his inability to grow up and take responsbility! If he is going to be the President of the United States, then you should not let him get away with this childishness! We cannot afford another child in the White House.

How soon Democrats seem to forget that John Edwards had zero political experience,other than 2 years as an NC Senator, when Kerry picked him for VP. I held my nose and voted for them anyway.

I thought after the Clinton’s speeches, Obama people wanted Clintons to disappear from the face of the campaign, now why ask them to do the dirty work for the fraud Obama

Can you say ” Disaster”. this has disaster all over this VP Pick by McCain, Palin isnt going to work for McCain. She reminds me of Eggleston in 72′ and now i hear she under investagation for abuse of power for firing someone. This is a very Risky choice and Lastly she is no Hillary Clinton, and she had said about breaking 18 ceacks it is insulting to Women. i have news for you Palin ” You are and never will be Hillary Clinton”

C’mon Johnny your kidding, right? You made it up, right?
OK I just got it “Palin” REALLY IS Tina Faye from SNL, I knew she looked familiar. You’re just giving us a good laugh before the convention. Great joke, man, keep up the good work!

I think Clinton’s message is pretty clear: She is a woman = good for the Rupublicans. Her policies are wrong = bad for the country.
The Republicans are having their 1984 moment, forced by events in the Democratic Party. Good for them, that was about time. But to be a match for Hillary takes more than simpy being a woman. It will be interesting to see what else she brings to the ticket.

Anyone who already began trashing Palin before they even had opportunities to know her shows how uneducated and low class they are. Those who concluded she was guilty already solely based on the fact that there is an investigation are so ignorant and childish and are the biggest losers in the world! I don’t hat. Obama (yet) but I do (deeply) hat. most of his supporters on the internet!

“Sorry folks, but you cannot shatter the glass ceiling with a woman who does not believe all other women own their own bodies and have the right to make their own decisions about that.”
The glass ceiling is only defined by abortion beliefs?

I think she has done more than enough for this sham candidate,and she and Bill know it.Why do you think that was all she said regarding Palin??Obama needs to be on his own from here on out and quit relying on the Clintons to bail him out.

Debra – why do I think your post would have been very much different if McCain was allowed to take Lieberman?

For as much as the left complains about religion being hijacked by the right, it sure seems that feminism has been hijacked by the left.

The DNC was just another Rock Concert.
Probably the only chance some of those folks will ever get to see the “Boss”.
Get real, it was FREE and that is driving force for the Democrats. WHAT CAN I GET FREE.
Remember Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos”? If all the repubs that crossed over to vote for Hillary in the primary vote for McCain maybe the odds change….who knows.

This makes Obama look even weaker than he was before. He’s expecting Hillary, the one he passed over for VP to attack another strong woman? We Hillary supporters know Hillary should have been on the VP ticket. Now we will support McCain/Palin and crack that glass ceiling once and for all!!!!

obamabots you guys argued that it is about judgement not experience ok you convinced us. at least mrs. palen had the good judgement not to surround herself with to say the least ‘shady characters’ and then have the gall to run for president.
hillary supporter from day 1

The more I read about Palin the more she sounds like Cheney in a dress (and to be clear, this is NOT a good thing). OK, one caveat: she’s obviously a better shot…..

Like Hillary once said, “If you’re in the kitchen you can take the heat.” Palin will now be vetted fairly and vocally by Obama, Biden, the Democrats, and the public. No need to attack her sex–but of course we must attack her politics, career, history, accusations and probe into illegal pushing to fire a state trooper who was in a custody battle with her sister, and character. She can’t hide behind a parasol and cry “Foul! Sexism!” when she runs for public office and is attacked fairly.

Hillary was campaigning for Bozo when he was bodysurfing in Hawaii. She and Bill did their jobs at the convention and now they should say privately “Screw you Nobama campaign”!
I hope they vacation in Martha’s Vinyard for the next two months and they are fed up of their party.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

Hillary definitely should come out and call this selection for what it is. As a woman, I am insulted by McCain’s tactics. I would hope that Hillary would be too.

Million to one odds, Hillary votes for McCain/Palin. :)

Angie, I myself cheated Hillary out of the nomination, by voting for Obama in the primary. Along with millions of other voters and caucus members. Hillary cheated by not counting the caucus states, kind of a “Ok I’m losing, so now I’ll change the rules” cheating. She lost the election on her own, as history books will report. You may never believe that, but your children and grandchildren will be taught that in school.

Just because 39 million people watched Obama’s speech on Thursday night does not mean that all 39 million will vote for him. Millions of people saw Kevin Costner’s Water World too, but it sucked. To me though, I thought the speech was a great – filled with the traditional liberal sound points: Class warfare, victimization, entitlement and taxation without representation.

How come Barack Obama can’t close the deal by himself? How come everytime he needs someone to get the job done, he calls on Hillary? Because she’s the one the dumb Dems should have backed from the very beginning! And everytime they ask for Hillary’s help in doing what Obama can’t do himself, they prove again what a weak candidate he really is. Grow up, Obama, Hillary is finished cleaning up your mess!

You folks are a joke, that many people show up for a rock concert, just because they were there does not mean they support Obama alot of people went just to go so they could say they were there, every thing there was a collector item Kinda like the world first fair, every wanted to be a part of history, And as far obama running mate, he is rude, disrespectful to women and blacks, he has a bad habit of making off color jokes, so I would say Obama picked a real winner,

Let’s crack that Glass ceiling once and for all women! McCain/Palin 08′

dl,
I have to respectfully disagree with you. McCain picked Palin, not because of her gender, but because of her politics, first and foremost. The strategic aspect is that a) it is a bold move, and b) it symbolizes respect for political participation regardless of gender. If you argue that Palin was selected because of her gender, and/or the fact that she is white, then you’ll have to say that Obama was selected by Democrats because he is a black male, and Biden was selected by Obama because he was a white male. Fact is, it depends on the view of the individual voter in each and every case.

Kool-Aid drinkers, the last laugh is on you! Palin has more experience than “The One”, go ahead make a fool of yourselves, you do so well! She has 13 years political experience and Obama voted “present” in the IL assembly and showed up in the US senate, less tha 50 times in 3 years. If Obama had a real job, he would have been fired.

Hillary owes Obama NOTHING. Obama owes Hillary & Bill Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro and ALL Americans an apology. Obama is a fraud.
Women have been failed by the DNC in 2008. Women have been the majority voting block of the Democratic party for decades under the illusion that the party stood for women’s rights. They do not. Women have been told we don’t matter, we can win without you, sit down, shut up, get in line, get out of the convention, and get behind Obama. WE have been subjected to death threats for speaking out for Hillary. WE will NOT be marginalized.
Women decide all elections and this one will be no different. WE need a loud, resounding voice of NO we don’t accept his nominee who is unqualified and unelectable.
Women will NOT fall for the tired old hook of Roe v Wade this year. The U.S. Supreme Court could attempt to overturn Roe v Wade right now if they wanted to, they have the votes. They do not. The battle for abortion rights is taking place in every statehouse in the country right now. If abortion is your issue, you need to pay more attention to your local legislature and get involved there and worry less about the U.S. Supreme Court nominees.
Women’s issues are about far more than abortion. Respect and equal opportunity are first and foremost. Hillary Clinton deserved respect and equal opportunity in 2008 from the DNC, Obama and the media. She received neither. They must be held accountable.
The DNC has really blown 2008 by nominating the wrong candidate(s). Hillary should be the nominee, she’s clearly the most qualified and electable candidate.
Hillary won more than 18 million votes, winning MORE votes than ANY candidate of ANY party in history and she’s NOT on the ticket? Biden gets the VP nod when he won less than 9? There’s a reason Biden has run and run and run for President. He’s a LOSER.
The Dems have lost 7 out of the last 10 Presidental elections. Bill Clinton won two of three we won. Bill and Hillary Clinton are the greatest political success story of the Democratic party since FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Why would the DNC be so stupid as to fail to celebate Bill and Hillary Clinton? Why would they fail to celebrate Geraldine Ferraro? It takes the GOP to nominate a woman for VP and acknowledge the accomplishments of Geraldine and Hillary?
The DNC must be held accountable for this 2008 campaign debacle and the sexism, racism, classism, voter disenfranchisement and subversion of democracy that was rampant by the DNC, Obama and ALL media. It’s unacceptable.
To vote for Obama is to condone what has been done.
Vote McCain 08 and Hillary 2012.
Country first, party second.
“No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex” Susan B. Anthony

Anyone who were moved by Obama’s speech and threw themselves behind him because of that, well, in my eyes, are naive. I’m no politician, English isn’t my language, but if I were given a well written speech in Chinese and got put on the national stage to deliver it, I could do equally good job as Obama can do. Why? Because I happen to be talented in that area, just like Obama! The thing is, there are so many people, especially the actors, are talented to do the same. If you feel delivering such speech is very hard, then chances are you might give your support to Obama after the speech.

if palen is such a bad choice why are obama posters disguised as hillary supporters sounding so desperate. i have not seen this much activity on these boards since the primary.
run bambi run the woman’s got a gun.
hey let michelle come out and give palen that nasty glare she gave hillary during hill’s convention speech.

Hank,
That’s just downright mean. Sarah Palin is a lot better looking than Joe Biden, but last time I heard that wasn’t a criterion for the oval office. Else, why did we run Kerry or Dukakis?
What’s your political argument?

Could everyone take a look at what is being asked of Hillary Clinton. Is the obvious just too much to grasp? The Democrats made it clear… they don’t want Hillary; so let her go already! Can’t the big boys make nice? Can’t the big boys handle a debate with a woman? What pansies! Quit the whining boys and do your jobs.
Wait, I forgot, the coward, aka Obama/Soetoro/Dunham can’t debate! He avoids it like the flue. Everyone is so intent on having the first BLACK guy as the president… they’ve lost all reality in what that man is.

If Hilliary as to keep bailing Obama out , does that mean if that 3 am call comes he is going to forward the call to her? if seems he can’t do anything for his self,

Would the credentials of McCain’s pick been viewed as impressive if it were simply Sam Palin and not a female?

Obama is becoming annoying

SALLIE,
Sure took you a long time to figure out that Hillary is a cheat. Remember the 8 years she and her husband occupied the
White House…where were you then.

@ Sally298
Of course Obama needs Hillary and her supporters, just like Hillary would have needed him and his supporters, had she won. That is how primary contests work: You fight hard, then you accept the outcome and rally around the nominee.
Unless of course you don’t realize that this is about the future of America and you are only in it for the exciting fan culture. Then you deserve no better than 8 more years.
Hillary knows what is at stake and she stands by Obama for the sake of the country. She knows this election is bigger than her and him. If you wanna campaign for more war and a weaker economy, that is beyond her control. But don’t call yourself a Hillary supporter then.

McCain’s judgement is very lacking in his his selection of Mrs. Palin. Yes, she is well liked IN ALASKA. We have highly qualified Republican women who have been in government positions and the political world much longer and who are certainly more knowledgeable on policy issues and the needs of America! These women were overlooked and bypassed by John McCain. He chooses a woman from a state with the smallest population as his running mate, WHY? Because she is a killer of animals, thinks young girls should be FORCED to have babies that were concieved through rape and incest. A woman who doesn’t even know what the heck is going on in Iraq and the rest of the world. His judgement has FAILED AGAIN!! “WE, THE PEOPLE” MUST NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ENTRUST OUR COUNTRY TO JOHN McCAIN!!

So do you suppose the democrats are going to ridicule and knock yet another woman down? I already see Obama’s followers have zeroed in on her looks (which I think she is beautiful). They really need to grow up. Once again, Obama showing intolerance to women and those he considers below him and his Ivy League peers. He is so out of touch with true Americans.

I am Democrat. I will not vote for Obama/Biden..Reason..The democrat delegates pledge themselves to her. Then they did about face. If you give someone your PROMISE or YOUR WORD. YOu should keep it. They give her their word and then turn and supported Obama. Nancy and the Democrats promise 100 days ..Nancy and her cohhors did nothing to bring the troops home, price of gas went up two fold….Obama promises he will solve all the problems..HOW IS HE GOING TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS..BY RAISING OUR TAXES..”LOOK HOW MUCH MONEY THE DEMOCRATS SPEND ON THE LAST NIGHT OF THE CONVENTION…WHY DIDNT THEY HOLD THE CONVENTION IN MICHIGAN WHERE THEY ARE HARDEST HIT ECONOMICALLY INSTEAD OF COLORADO..AT LEAST IT WOULD HAVE GENERATED 200 MILLIONS DOLLARS….
I would vote for McCain/Palin…She is the kinda of woman we need…
DOnt worry ..Obama/Biden, you all will be sorry because the direction he wants to take this county..
Under Obama Plan, you dont have to work..the government will solve all your problems

I love how Republicans care so much about saving unborn babies but are more than happy to ship boys who are barely 18 off to die over in Iraq.

Gov. Palin: brains and beauty, she has it all. Sarah will make a great vice-president and later, a president.
Hey Obama, you can always run for president of Europe, Ha, Ha, Ha!

Oh now you’re worried about what Obama will look like? It’s Obama’s job to give the case for his candidacy. It is no longer Clinton’s job to HAVE to do anything. If this is the case, then I guess the republicans will need to pull out Colin Powell to question Obama, because everyone else who’s done it has become labeled a racist.

Well, this is a joke election and it reflects the reality: America is in joke stage.
All parties involved took opportunistic approach, and all of them get worse.
Obama. He should choose Hilary as VP. If so, his winning is almost for sure. But, he is afraid a strong VP and dreamed that he could get a way by choosing Biden. But, he just left a big hole for McCain to use and McCain did. I would say, O’s chance is very small now.
Hilary. She should stand for her independent candidate. Even though she will lose in the election, she still leave strong historical records. But, she tried to aiming 2012 and did cooperation with O and O trashed her without offering VP. But, now, her chance of 2012 is very very small.
McCain is another joke. We will see it more clearly when he gets into Oval office.

The “fraud” Sarah Palin is involved in is fighting the good old boys’ network in Alaska when the state troopers refused to fire her sister’s abusive husband. Unless think it’s OK to taser an 11-year old child, drive your police car while drunk, and threaten the life of your father-in-law. So go ahead and keep talking about this – Sarah Palin is a hero to every abused woman and child in this country for whom our system of governmental protection has often failed, and I salute her.

McShame opposes stem cell research but open to skin cell because he has skin cancer. How selfish! “Country First”?
His VP choice re-enforces his hypocrisy.

I believe John McCain was a very poor choice by the Republicans, I also believe Mrs. Palin is a very poor choice by McCain and his campaign. What is McCain trying to prove??
Carol McCain = a modeling beauty
Cindy McCain = a rodeo queen beauty
Sarah Palin = a beauty pageant contestant in the least populated state of our union.
Hmmm, looks like McCain’s prerequisite for the women in his life is BEAUTY!! Did anyone notice how NERVOUS but EXICTED he was when he introduced Sarah Palin?? Playing with his wedding band as if he was going to remove it and throw it to the wind, then decided against it and opted to dig under his fingernails instead?? Real Class that John McCain!! Body language SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS!!

Let’s settle this argument right here, right now. The current sitting Vice President a) mainly presides over the Senate, b) goes to a lot of funerals, c) meddled quite often where he should not, and d) shot a guy in the face.
Either Biden or Palin should be able to at least match those credentials, or even exceed them. Don’t you think?

Hype bites,
Here is a fact for you. McCain met Palin ONCE. ONCE. Not twice… not three times. ONCE. You pick a likely president from a brief encounter. Is this the mark of intelligence? No… McCain is exceptionally ignorant. He nearly flunked out of the Academy. But you have a candidate that went to Columbia and Harvard where he excelled.
Intelligence and competence are on Obama’s behalf.
Palin was indeed a spontaneous and impetous decision that was the death knell for his campaign after a momentous month. Stupid is what stupid does!!!
Save our country. Vote Obama/Biden.
This independent is!!!

Don’t forget Obama doesn’t even know how many states in USA! What a joke! How can he be our president?

Response to Cekerri’s post on 8/30/08:
You are absolutely right. This Political circus is getting funnier with each passing day. I am also a woman and I can read between the lines. Apparently, McCain feels that he can’t win so he pulls this stunt on the uncertain people. We, the people, are NOT incompetent. We as woman have been underestimated and disrespected as in being coerced in believing that the GOP will conquer all ’cause a woman is on the ticket. As far as Hillary is concerned, she could change her rah-rahs to no-nos next week. This is a “low blow” to her in my book. Conclusively, McCain has played his last hand.

Obama and the DNC did not want to deal with Hillary. They were so sure all Hillary’s supportes would move to Obama therefore if was not necessary to add Hillary as the VP. Surprise Obama and DNC…..we are walking.

NinaK,
Your comments are insulting and degrading to women. They are similar in ilk to the trash that Hillary faced through the primary. I didn’t hear the pundits attacking Biden when he teared up, yet Hillary has an emotional moment and the earth virtually stopped in talking head land. Fact is, age is a great equalizer, so a beauty contest 20 years ago has no meaning today. As far as I know Palin is a Governor. You failed to mention that along the way. By the way, Hillary is a distinguished Senator in case you want to throw some snideness her direction to.
At the end of the day, I’m voting for Obama because of Supreme Court choices. I will not feel badly if McCain prevails, though.

One thing is for sure….I haven’t seen as much posting on these blogs during the last two or three months since Hillary left the race as I have seen since McCain announced his VP selection.
You have to admit, life would be pretty boring without the women around to stir everything up……………

Why should Clinton need to do the bashing for Obama and Biden?? She already had to do Obama’s job to unify the party … why should she do any more. I think it is interesting how Obama supporters continued to bash her even after she has pledged to help Obama win the White House, but now they come full circle cause they need her to take care of Palin for them. Strange.

You people don’t realize that McCain picked Palin ONLY because Obama didn’t pick Hillary. Had he done so, you bet McCain would’ve NEVER picked that barely-known lady to run vs. the power of Hillary. If you think Obama is undersestimating women, I don’t know what you consider what McCain is doing by choosing a woman when Hillary is out of the ticket. It’s clear he thinks women will vote for him ONLY because there’s a woman in his ticket. He surely thinks we don’t have enough brain to see more than meets the eye. Women aren’t that stupid Mr. McCain! I for once wanted HILLARY, not just any other human being of the same gender!! If i felt insulted by Obama, i feel disgusted by McCain!
I’m pretty sure Obama will give Hillary the place she deserves if he becomes president. McCain just wants the votes to win, and fooling women is his newest strategy to do so. Shame on you Mr. McCain!!
Not

“McShame opposes stem cell research but open to skin cell because he has skin cancer. How selfish! “Country First”?
His VP choice re-enforces his hypocrisy.”
You obviously don’t understand this issue at all. You can go to his website to find his exact position,but he opposes INTENTIONAL CREATION of embryos for stem cell research, he is not against using stem cell lines already existing. Like many others, he hopes the skin cell research which shows promise for a variety of disorders will replace the need for ANY embryonic stem cell research. He stated this clearly at the Saddleback Forum 2 weeks ago.
This is the type of argument that gives some Obama supporters a bad name and shows people against McCain do not know what they are talking about. Educate yourself on issues from both candidates before making uneducated arguments.

P. S. Let the double standards and sexist remarks begin anew! Obama is not the “Experienced” one?

I am a life long Demo, I want to know if it is or is not true that Obama refuses to salute the flag….is this really true? Please tell me

Hey, Hope, I mean, Fake Hope: you wrote: “you people don’t realize that McCain picked Palin ONLY because Obama didn’t pick Hillary. Had he done so, you bet McCain would’ve NEVER picked that barely-known lady to run vs. the power of Hillary.”. What would you expect Obama would do should McCain picked his vp first? Don’t you think McCain’s choice would influence Obama’s? This is a fair game, a political game. Of course McCain would not pick Palin IF Clinton is the vp. Isn’t it obvious? Do we need YOU to remind that? You are still telling us that Obama does everything not for political purposes. What a joke you are! What a shame that you called yourself “hope”. Delusional hope, indeed. Did you even attend elementary school?

Sarah Palin may be a woman, but she will absolutely nothing to further women’s rights. The Republican Party is the party that has been, and will continue to be, responsible for oppressing American women. Anyone who can’t see that needs to go take a History refresher course. She is just being used to help McCain stand a chance. I agree, Hillary will have to take Palin down, it is the only way to avoid the inevitable sexist charges. I have no doubt that Hillary will take Palin to task, and Palin will be embarassed miserably, just as she will be when it comes to debating the issues with Joe Biden. McCain ended his candidacy yesterday with this pick. She is so unqualified it is diturbing, and actually could pose a threat to National security. McCain and his staff should be ashamed of themselves for acting so irresponsibly. Luckily, it appears that most Americans are seeing right through the shockingly transparent attempt to pander. President Obama and V.P. Biden will take it from here, and all the way to the White House in January 2009.
Change is on the way!!!
YES WE CAN!!!

Hillary to slam Palin?
Palin has more guts and integrity than Hillary.
She could have an abortion when she knew she would have a child with a Down syndrome. But she didn’t. No matter whether we believe in abortion rights or not, we should salute her strong conviction in the sanctity of life and her acceptance for what fate has dealt her. She still says her son is perfect. That is character. As for the other guy, it is “above his pay grade” to know when life starts.
Palin took on a corrupt Republican machine instead of pandering to their wishes. She increases taxes on the oil companies and return the money to the people. I heard her phone interview that she gave to a reporter some time ago about protection of polar bears, and she was very articulate and well-informed, and able to discuss sensibly on the technical issues. She actually “talk the talk and walk the walk” contrary to what some in the media claimed. Her legislative achievements are on written records, unlike others who only talk and give exagerated anecdotes of their achievements.
I am a guy and yet I donated to Hillary’s campaign because I thought Hillary would be a better choice compared to Obama. Hillary said during the campaign that he should not be trusted to answer the 3 am phone call. But when both Clintons ask people to vote for him at the convention, I felt so foolish to give to her campaign. That is an example of someone who panders to the party’s machinery. Hillary should be ashamed if she wants to slam Palin.
Gustav has become hurricane 4 and what has Obama-Biden got to say to New Orleans’ folks?..”Say a Prayer”
My car’s tires are already at maximum allowable pressure. How much more can I inflate them to get lower gas bills?
Yet the media (especially MSNBC and CNN) are hyping these two sky-high as if they are heroes of the Greek mythology, appearing from the Temple to save the nation.

HOPE”
‘I’m pretty sure Obama will give Hillary the place she deserves if he becomes president.’
Don’t count on it…. unless B O decides Hillary wants the first stall in the Senate locker room!
Obama plays the game like the Chicago type charatan politician he is!
For him, “Promises”…. are “Words…. just Words” .
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!
WE WOULD HAVE PREFERRED HILLARY,
but:
MCCAIN AND PALIN
will have to do
until the year
that ends in “2″!

Hope: As someone who is pretty neutral on the abortion issue, let me remind you that civil rights are a very relative concept: What may seem like a civil rights victory to you pertaining to the choice of the mother may be a civil rights violation of the baby to someone else.

What a choice. What was the McCain campaign thinking? There is NO way he’ll win now. What a doof.

maryann— what does it matter if he salutes the flag. patriotism is an individual personel thing some show it some dont– some for political realities some for morals— some blindly some with great insight. be more concerned with the direction he wants to lead the country.

It seems the McCain/Palin ticket is running against Biden. People are forgetting poor Barry O.

WHY ON EARTH should Hillary do their misogynistic dirty work for them??? Isn’t it interesting that BO doesn’t give Hillary an ounce of respect (i.e., allows others to call her a “racist” and “monster” while not even considering her as a running mate.) BO, take the pacifier out of your mouth and fight your own battles. Don’t spit in someones face and expect them to turn around and fight your battles for you.

Firsr of all I am a woman. Those women that want to live in a ‘man’s world’ should be able to “stand-up and take it like a man”. If you can’t take the heat get out of their world.

I think Hillary has done enough for the Obama camp. Return to New York, Hillary, get back to your daytime job, and we’ll see you again in 2012.

hype bites—i would say she must have left an impression. sometimes u just know

My theory — The selection of Palin was simply a cynical attempt to steer the news cycle away from the Dem Convention (which was going far too well for comfort). The Reps have no intention of keeping her as their VP. During the convention (which they will probably postpone conveniently due to hurricane, which allows Palin to generate another week of buzz), she will regretfully decline the nomination after due consideration because the demands of campaigning would be too great a conflict with the needs of her infant with Down Syndrome. Plus she will probably mention her commitment to continuing rooting out corruption in the State of Alaska. This will leave her smelling like a rose, and the Reps able to trot her out again if need be. It will also, of course, cause another blip in the news cycle and give an unwarranted bump to whatever safe and lackluster pick they decide to go with.

Sorry but Hillary Clinton was kicked to the curb by her own party. She doesn’t have to do anything for Obama anymore. It’s time for Obama and the DNC to put up or shut up. They wanted this bicycle, now let them pedal without Hillary’s training wheels.

It’s not Senator Clinton’s responsibility to do Obama/Biden’s dirty work for them. They made their beds and now they can lie in them. They pushed Senator Clinton and her supporters to the side, now they can fight their own battles. Senator Clinton’s comments were appropriate. She didn’t need to say anything less or anything more. They told us to get over it, well now they can just get over it!

I am sick and tired of Obama asking Clinton to do things for him. Enough. She did more than enough! Please let her do her work for the good people of NY. It is time for Obama and the MSM to realize that he is a responsible grown up. It is up to candidate Obama to respond to his opponents it is up to him to win or lose the elections.
I do not remember other elections when the candidates where expecting others to do the job for them. What a shame!

Go McCain/Palin.
I was a Hillary supporter and very disappointed in the way the media and the DNC and Obama treated her. I am switching to McCain/Palin.
Obama follows the old politicians, talk and walk the same old politicians way. McCain/Palin actually “talk the talk and walk the walk” of the REAL CHANGE.
No more empty talk, or words, or rhetorics. NO Obama/Biden.
GO MCCAIN/PULIN!

“So what??? spoken like a truhe regressive, retrogressive left liberal.
And it’s time for Obama to deal with real politics instead of empty rhetoric at rock concerts, this is politics, not entertainment.”
Obama is ready. That’s it.

“By the way, did anyone see the video of Michael Moore saying there is a God,”
But the regressive, retrogressive liberal left just adore him. Then they spew venom at his conservative counterpart, Limbaugh. The RRLL are so full of double standard. I was an idiot once and thought the Democrats were better.

Obama is ready. That’s it.

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!
MCCAIN AND PALIN!!!!!

Translation??? “Should have picked me Obama.”

Palin saying she doesn’t know what the VP does let’s me know, I won’t be voting for McCain or his stooge..

John McCain was aiming to make history with his pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and historians say he succeeded.
Presidential scholars say she appears to be the least experienced, least credentialed person to join a major-party ticket in the modern era.
I guest McCain’s trailer gets some upgraded trash…

See, Terrorist love this pick from McCain, she’s Pro-life and won’t know what the hell to do in a Military crisis..
McCain has really sold the GOP and Conservatives out..
I am Navy veteran now staying home..
Thanks McCain, I knew you could’t get the job done on your own merit..
Lackey!!

It is beyond ridiculous that any supporter of Hillary Clinton would vote for McCain simply because he chose a woman as his VP running mate. If you care AT ALL for the principles for which Hillary stands, you should not vote for a woman whose platform is exactly the opposite. Clinton supporters, please, this is not rational thinking and you know it! Palin is anti-choice, supports creationist teaching in schools (under the label “intelligent design”) and is an NRA supporter. This is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of how vastly her political beliefs differ from that of Hillary’s. Please, don’t be reactionary! Remember why you support Hillary and don’t disavow Obama because you feel betrayed by the Democrats. Otherwise, you are just giving into superficial partisan politics that not only does a disservice to women (and women’s rights), but seriously underestimates the ability of American men and women to make intelligent and rational decisions about who we want to run our country.
Obama/Biden 08!

Democrats will never vote for a Republican, their to intelligent..
Republicans will vote for a Democrat once they get educated…
Republicans for Obama has their own websites.
Veterans for Obama out number any support for McCain.
Vet’s Approval rating for Obama 80%
Vet’s Approval for McCain, 20%
Vet’s have donated more to Obama, 60-1

The Bush Sidekick pick his stooge, NICE!!
We conservatives are not stooping this low to support this idiot…
I am glad my Conservative group have decided to stay home..
50-70 year old Grannies don’t like being pandered too..

Yes, a woman can hold office and take care of her children. Women do it every day of the week. Run a country or the PTA. Basic common sense. If my sister had an abusive husband I would use every means available to help my sister. Do the research before we start pointing fingers!! Don’t depend on CNN or FOX to have all the answers. Who are the real puppets? AGAIN COMMON SENSE!!

Both men and women are suckers
for good looks. That’s the real
danger the pretty Ms. Palin
poses in this election.
She’s not the right girl, the
right woman, to be Vice President
or President.

In their congratulatory calls and positive words, the Democratic candidates and leadership have shown the kind of class and grace that Americans are looking for in the campaigns. Let’s see if the other side is able to respond in kind…

Seems to me Hillary has every incentive to keep McCain/Palin from winning. Hillary would then no longer be the most qualified female to run for President in 2012. Give ‘em heck Hillary!

Sarah Palin is a proven can do Governor. Here is a list of former Governors you may have heard about. During their time many (if not all) of these people were considered too inexperienced for the job at hand.
Experience is like IQ, it all depends on how you use it.
Following governors from Virginia, other presidents were governors first from a variety of other states:
1. Martin Van Buren: Governor of New York in 1829
2. James Polk: Governor of Tennessee, serving from 1839-1841
3. Andrew Johnson: Governor of Tennessee from 1853-1857 and then appointed by Lincoln to serve as military governor of Tennessee from 1862-1864
4. Rutherford Hayes: Governor of Ohio from 1868-1872 and again from 1876-1877
5. Grover Cleveland: Governor of New York from 1883-1885
6. William McKinley: Governor of Ohio from 1892-1896
Numerous presidents were governors first in the 20th century. The list begins with
7. Theodore Roosevelt, first Governor of New York from 1899-1901.
8. Woodrow Wilson: Governor of New Jersey from 1911-1913
9. Calvin Coolidge: Governor of Massachusetts from 1919-1921
10. Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Governor of New York from 1929-1933
11. Ronald Reagan: Governor of California from 1967-1975
12. Jimmy Carter: Governor of Georgia from 1971-1975, and the first elected governor from the South post Civil War
13. Bill Clinton: Governor of Arkansas for two separate terms, from 1979-1981, and from 1983-1992

It’s just amazing how some people are just “Stuck on Stupid!” With McCain’s age the possibility of him not even completing his first term is very high. This country has serious problems that it is facing, how can you say this woman can do the job? Resolution of our problems will take the intelligence of a deep thinker, and organizer. One who can reach across the isle of the Senate and across the sea to foreign leaders in an effort to rebuild the relationships that have been bruised by the Bush administration? I don’t think an ex-beauty queen fits the bill.

McCain can no longer claim Country First after this pick. He did this purely for political gains trying to get the female vote. The man is 72 years old and has had cancer several times. I can see him wanting a woman but he could have picked Hutchinson or Snowe. There are alot of qualified women out there. As a woman I am insulted.

Time to cut the apron strings and fend for yourself Obama! You’ve got the new DNC, the AA’s, the young voters and the white guilters behind you! You don’t need Senator Clinton or her supporters, remember? Donna Brazille told us all to get on the train – Alaska here we come! The new democratic party will have to learn to play with the big boys without the old regime that they threw under the bus! Hey – good luck! McCain/Palin08

When you are in the position to be the top heads of our country, who cares if you are a woman or a man.
Obama and Biden should go after Palin on the issues just as they would do a man.
It’s Equal Opportunity, Baby.
We do not need weak, frail “oh please don’t attack me I’m a woman” staring at the face of Putin.
As Hillary Clinton said:
“If you can’t take the heat, get out the Kitchen.
All weak women who can’t handle pressure like Hillary, sit the h_ll down.

Yep, that was pretty light, but it’s early. Without a doubt Hillary is going to come out swinging because I’m sure that she, along with millions of other women, are insulted by the Palin selection. This is gonna be good…

I don’t get the Palin selection. I guess evagelical women are used to being subserviant and compliant – and maybe in their world being a hockey mother of 5 is qualifications enough for the vice presidency. In the real world, she’s nothin’ but an obvious campaign gimmick. Putting country first my bootie!

I just have to laugh when I see the BObots panicking. So now they start their hatred and name calling and insults. What a wonderful group of people BO has supporting him.
McCain made a great pick and this Democratic is definitely going to vote for the red ticket.
I hope Sarah wipes the floor with Biden. You go girl!

Hillary supporters need to stop whining. Obama beat her fair and square; the problem is she and her supporters felt entitled to the Presidency. Her own arrogance and her inability to muzzle her husband brought her down. Who wanted another term of Bill? Obama was right not to choose her as VP – how could he ever rest knowing Hillary was breathing down his neck and hoping he’d be assassinated? If her supporters vote for McCain out of spite they will get what they deserve — total reversal of everything Hillary fought for. Grow up, PUMAs!!!
As for Palin, most Alaskans can’t believe she was chosen. That should tell you something. This is an insult by McCain – he thinks any woman will do because we women are too dumb to see that policy positions, not genitalia, are what matter.

For those of you who keep saying Palin is unqualified. Please remember there are a lot of rural and western Americans who feel they have never had a representative who was “qualfified” to deal with issues that are important to them. Palin may very well be the right person at this time. Maybe she can convince the Eastern Elites how silly and uninformed their opposition to drilling in ANWAR is. There is absolutely no negative environmental impact. I’ve been there. I have studied the issue. Elites like Biden who have never been to Alaska qualified? I don’t think so…

I am a Hillary supporter, who will not vote for Obama on Nov. 4th. I will not vote McCain either. I will write in Hillary’s name on the ballot because it is allowed in Texas. The DNC and the Media elected Obama. Now they want Hillary to help them out. They treated her inhumane and they will do the same to Palin. If the Media continues to treat Palin like they did Hillary, I just might vote for Palin. I speak for many Teachers in Texas who will never forget how the most experienced woman with Integrity was abandoned by her own Party only to elect someone with shady friends, and no experience. May God Bless Us All, and the DNC.

McCain is crazy like a fox. Obama took age off the table when he picked Biden. He took the ‘outsider’ topic off the table when he picked Biden. Now McCain trumped the experience question. Every time Obama’s camp complains about Palin’s ‘inexperience’ it reminds everyone of his own lack of experience. And McCain gets to remind voters that she’s the #2.
I’m completely comfortable with McCain for 4 years. The Dems control both houses – time for Nancy and Harry to start earning those paychecks. The Dems don’t need the white house to push their agenda – they have the numbers to move compelling legislation. They’ve wasted 2 years so far…let’s get it done.

Oh yes, thank you Obama supporters who are trying to convince Hillary supporters with continued insults to vote for BO. Your charming tactics have never worked and they never will so stop with the advice. Make your opinions and we will make ours.

w/w100: Hutchinson is too old to be VP. Get a grip. From what I seen of her she looks 10 years older than Hillary. Time for a younger women to be VP and McCain did the right thing.

Michael: I am doing the same as you I am voting McCain/Palin. This will give a good slap in the face to the DNC and believe me they need it. Obama is not and never will be qualified to be president. It was stated on the internet he was studying the speeches of MLK because he didn’t know what to say. Obama couldn’t shine Palin’s shoes when it comes to integrity and experience. She has a very excellent background and I am sure McCain will take her to other countries to get experience. Her and her husband are very active people. They never associated with crooked friends like Obama especially anti-american Ayers. I am shocked that the people of this country would dismiss his background and vote for him anyway.

Obvious CNN gave Obama an easy ride he got all the praises

John: Don’t be afraid if Palin became president because she is a fighter, will not take guff from anyone and would definately know how to handle foreign policy. She is ten times smarter than Obama ever will be and don’t tell her to sit down. She will go head to head with Biden or Obama and let them know which way the wind is blowing.

Sens. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, and Joe Biden, D-Del., risk looking like chauvinistic bullies when they go after Palin — they need women — especially Clinton — to do that for them. Will she rise to the task? – jpt

Yup, it’s always Clinton’s fault. Obama declines to take a VP that would have guaranteed the election in favor of an old war-monger and it’s up to Clinton now to save his bacon.
Sen. Joe Biden a politician who, as champion loudmouth and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was calling for an invasion of Iraq in 1998, two years before there was a President George W. Bush. In 2002, when Bush demanded Congress give him powers to wage war against Iraq, Chairman Biden was Bush’s biggest Democratic ally. Biden depicted Bush as a man of peace, declaring, “at each pivotal moment, he has chosen a course of moderation and deliberation.” That course led to a war that is now deep into its fifth year – but that should not worry Joe Biden, who said, back in 2002, that the U.S. was “committing to Iraq for the long haul; not just the day after, but the decade after….”
The selection of Biden was doubly offensive, applauded as it is by ObamaFanBoyz, who during the primary castigated all who voted for the war….well, not everyone, not Kerry and obviously not Biden. No, the only one to be smeared by Obama’s minions was Clinton. Typical boyzclub politics as usual. Looking like? More like emphatically are.

I think that Senator Clinton has bent over backwards enough for Obama and his cult of followers. I think it was wonderful that she congratulated Palin as a woman who was able to move up. I NEVER would have stopped the roll call if I were her and I NEVER would have given half the speech she gave at the convention for Obama! NEVER!!!!!!! She owed him nothing! He owed her an apology for sexually bashing her throughout the campaign and for targeting her supporters as being misfits! Well, there are a lot of us misfits and we will be voting for McCain in the fall. I woudn’t have even done what she did for Obama. He’s just not worth it! He’s nothing, no experience, crooked real estate deals, associates with thugs throughout his career, and you think Hillary owes him anything? Pfffsssttt! We are just sorry that she gave such a good speech for him and that Bill Clinton endorsed that scroungel. We didn’t want him to and we didn’t want Hillary to provide any assistance to him whatsover. This was all a result of the left wing of the Democratic party, bending their arms behind their backs. They won’t be able to bend all of our arms behind our backs come November! Enjoy the bounce Obama because it will be the last one you have. The next bounce will be when the bottom drops out in November and John McCain is elected President!!!! I can’t wait! He may have been a novelty for the Dem party and developed a cult like following, but, the rest of us can think for ourselves. We don’t need Obama and the left wing of the dems or the right of the dems, which I may add have unfairly demonized Hillary and Bill Clinton, telling us who to vote for, etc. Good riddance to bad rubbish Obama and his followers!

Why the heck should Hillary lift one more finger for Obama, and why should she diss another woman to benefit the ultimate disser of women. Hell, no. Hillary made a perfectly appropriate remark, she said the policies of Mc Cain and Palin are in the wrong direction, and I hope she says nothing more. BHO didn’t need her, according to him. Wait til he sees how much he did need her. He is a fool.

WorkingMommy: You got that right. I would like to see Palin in a debate with Obama or Biden. Obama and Biden couldn’t win debates and Obama failed on the forum interview. They are the worst democratic candidates this country ever had campaigning for president and vice president. John McCain and Palin both would make them look like beginners. I am voting for McCain. Its time for a women to be president or vice president.

I don’t trust Obama one bit especially after I heard his speech today in ohio did not sound real he was so Obama is to phoney like can’t anyone see that. I can read his mind.
McCain stands for real unity, McCain stands for Unity and Sarah Palin will unify all for unity. McCain is the change for unity.

Sarah Palin for Unity she is real life for life and Truth and love.

Sarah Palin: a young John McCain
in a dress.

Mommy Hillary does not have to utter another word until after the election. Time for everyone in the media and Obama’s team to “get over it”. Mommy Hillary has a headache is going to lay down.

I voted for Hillary. I thought she had more experience. I wanted someone to care about healthcare, Global Warming and the economy. Obama picked Biden which was good for me. Palin is not a substitution for Hillary supporter. She seems to be McCain pick to secure Republican far right.

Mary said: “Hillary supporters need to stop whining. Obama beat her fair and square” – Hey, tell me all about this “fair and square”, I’m all ears. Give me all the specifics, please, plus all the specific examples that the media was NOT biased. I would absolutely prefer a democrat, but with all the medias and DNC have played out all along, with the fact that today’s Obama is a 90% creation of the stupid media, yet to make it worse, he is so darn arrogant, so I won’t vote for Obama regardless of what policies he has.
I look down upon and resent those who follows their stars and shed tears when they see them in person, that only shows they have low self-esteems, and/or have not much educations, and/or are too immature, and it is pathetic! Are stars better and smarter than others? NO! Do they work harder and contribute more to the society than others do? Not necessarily! How many stars are of good quality? How many of them are basically trash alike with low moral levels?
Don’t support someone largely because he or she is your star! Honestly, I happen to be very talented in language and speaking, I control the tones and body languages naturally well. So if I were given a well written speech, I could easily do as good job as Obama. Because I know this very well, that’s why I would never cast my vote to someone based on his speech alone. All good speeches can be done by any OK actors!

Why the hell should she ..
Hillary, you have done more than you need to … Let Obama lose …. You have to say what you have to in public but we will NEVER VOTE OBAMA and you should know that … OBAMA DOES NOT DESERVE THE PRIVILEGE TO BE OUR PRESIDENT ..
And what has Obama done to help you with your campaign debt? ZERO right?
So the Hell with Obama and all he stands for
Go back to New York, Hillary, and take care of yourself, Bill and Chelsea. They are far more important to you than anything Obama can ever deliver …
I would sooner have even a President Palin than Obama …
Palin has more executive experience and she is running only for VP … Obama has NO EXPERIENCE and he has to nerve to want to be President ..

I am sure Biden will be nothing but a gentlemen and a professional at the debate he is a class act. Obama on the other hand is a phoney and a fraud, and yes his experience at running anything (including his own campaign) falls way short compared to Gov. Palin’s executive experience. I am far more concerned about Obama being President than Palin being VP.

MCCAIN did the right thing in picking Palin. Obama has 92% of the Black vote …
MCCAIN needs his FULL BASE to vote for him in November … Good work MCCAIN …
It is so important for MCCAIN to win in November …
I cannot imagine a KNOW NOTHING and QUESTIONABLE OBAMA and a DO NOTHING Congress led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid running our great nation …
Puma, 28% Hillary supporters, Republicans, we need to win in November. All this blogging is senseless rhetoric if we lose in November … Results is what matters … words without results is a waste of time …
So let us get everyone out there to vote in November.
Thanks

This will finally motivate Hillary to go all out for Obama — she does NOT want somebody to come out of nowhere and make history as the first woman vice-president.
She will hit the trail hard for Obama — that’s all we can ask for.

Pelosi and Dean made a big political mistake, trying to call the nominating election early. In the end, Hillary won the most votes, but by then the bosses had their way when they gave it to Obama early.
I say, vote with one lever, and send the Democratic party bosses the simple message: This is the year we are breaking the glass ceiling, and this is the year we are going to stick it to those bosses who robbed Hillary of that priviledge.
McCain/Palin

George…The selection of Obama would not serve this nation well in a time of crisis!

Hi guys, remember me? I gave a big speech the other day? Remember? Even though I said “I” 1143 times in the speech, it really was all about YOU! Remember when I said that? How selfless am I? Remember when I said I am my brothers keeper? Well good news, I just sent my brother $1 so he could take the month of September off! How awesome am I?… I mean how awesome are YOU!

Bloggers claiming to be
Hillary supporters are hard
to decipher.
Didn’t they hear what she said
at the convention?
“No way. No how. No McCain.
Barack Obama is my candidate.
And he must be our president.”

This election is not about Hillary. It is about us. It is about if women have the courage to claim power over a disrespectful Obama. That is why I encourage every self-respecting Hillary voter, both women and men, to vote McCain/Palin. The issues are not as important as Obama’s disrespect. We, not all 18 million, but a few million of us, are going to send Obama to defeat. It feels really good. Please come join us.

“BUT YOU CAN BET THIS: Had Hillary gotten the nomination, 90% of African Americans would have casted their vote in a heartbeat. And you know it.”
That must be the world’s biggest lie.
I am black and I find it hard to believe that 90% of blacks would have voted for Hillary “in a heartbeat” if she had gotten the nomination. Obama Supporters trashed her and Bill so bad that the Republicans did not have to say a word. I would say, as a black person, that 70% of blacks (at least) voted for Obama because he was black and no other reason. There could not have been any OTHER reason, because no one knows anything about him. Obama’s senatorial records, medical records and educational records are all missing.
Remember, most of Obama’s Supporters labeled her and Bill racist for saying Jesse Jackson won SC and that LBJ helped to get the Civil Rights Bill enacted. Black media helped to support that lie – I know, because I listen to it, watch it and read it.
Then, his Supporters turned around and called anyone who didn’t support him racist. You all did a real good job of that. So good, that now, that is one of the reasons why Obama is going to lose this election.. Don’t blame Hillary and Bill, blame yourselves.
I, too, will be one of those people who will not be voting for Obama. My last action as a Democrat will be to pull the lever for John McCain and Sarah Palin and send Obama, the fraud, along with his missus, all the way back to Chicago to the house Rezko helped to buy. I will be leaving the Democratic Party to the “new” Democrats. I think it will be at least 90% black. Good luck.
PUMA!

Obama and the DNC did not want to deal with Hillary. They were so sure all Hillary’s supportes would move to Obama therefore if was not necessary to add Hillary as the VP. Surprise Obama and DNC…..we are walking.
Posted by: willie |
—————–
Willie, just where did you get the idea Senator Obama, his supporters, and the DNC were so sure we were going to get Hilliary’s supporters whether or not he chose her as his VP?? Everybody goes around boasting about Hilliary’s 18 million supporters, well how about Senator Obamas 18 MILLION PLUS supporters? Don’t we count? Are you saying ONLY Hill’s supporters count? Furthermore, the number of Hillary’s supporters to belong to PUMA and those other such groups are far short of the 18 millions who voted for her. They ARE the intelligent and smart men and women who would have liked to see her win; but who recognize her policies are in line with Senator Clintons; while McCain’s are 180 degress to the RIGHT of Hilliary’s and Obama’s policies and stances, and WILL vote to put a DEMOCRAT in the White House. I belief a majority of Americans are sick and tired of being sick and tired have having to put up with the last eight years of everything negative the Republicans could throw at us to ruin our economy, threaten us with foreclosures, and downright treating us like we are a bunch of cattle going to slaughter!! If WE, THE PEOPLE do not put a halt to this downward trend by electing McCain, then we will all be slaughtered in one way or another—through war, or through foreclosures, through starvation (high cost of food), or through lack of health care or all of these together!! WE, THE PEOPLE CANNOT AND WILL NOT ENTRUEST OUR COUNTRY TO MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICANS FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS!!!

Local politics in Alaska is different then making then transition to the national stage. I could see why McCain chose Sarah who helps his conservative base. Sarah is the opposite of Hillary on issues. Classic Republican vs Democrat contrasts. Hillary did rock the house at the convention.
The question remains is Alaska ready for a change too. Right now Obama leads in Alaska by about 5 or 6 percentage points. If Alaska goes for Obama in 08 that would be one of the major stories of this election. If Ethan Berkowitz and Mark Begich win along with Obama then Alaska will be a player on the National level.

Obama did not offer the veep job, to Hillary, and that was disrespectful, not just to Hillary, but to her supporters.
Obama made a political decision, and he said it, that Hillary supporters had no where else to go. I believe he will get a majority of Hillary voters. But ah, not enough of us for him to win. Too bad, he is so stupid politically, But what do you expect from someone who never won a contested election. At least Palin has already done that, and probably will win the one in 9 weeks..

Obama not choosing Hillary for VEEP was another instance of bad judgment on his part.
Just like saying her supporters “will get over it”
The entry of Palin has totally changed the dynamics of this race. I bet Nancy, Dean, Brazile, Obama and Axelrod spent a sleepless night last night. Now what are they going to do???? :D
Obama has lost.
PUMA!

Obama is doing everything he can to put down Palin, just as he did Hillary. He is trying to portray her as being as lacking in experience as he is.
It’s not a good argument. He is running for President and she is only running for VP. A candidate for VP is supposed to be less qualified than a candidate for President.
Point #2 if she is lacking in experience in foreign policy and has no more than Obama, which appears not to be the case, you go back to point #1; she is not supposed to be as experienced in foreign policy as the Presidential candidate. So what is Obama’s excuse for not having any more than his opposition’s VP candidate?
Point #3 is that Sarah probably has a better handle on energy independence that even John McCain does. Obama hasn’t begun Kindergarten on this one.
Point #4 is that Sarah has a track record of reform against ineffective, wasteful and corrupt government spending. On this score, Obama should be worried. He not only has no experience and no accomplishments solving this problem, he has been a cause of the problem on all three scores. He has been a dud as a legislator, spends other people’s money like a drunken sailor and has had an association with a fellow on his way to prison for corruption that resulted in his ending up in a house that was way beyond his means at the time.
If you give Obama the best score possible on experience, he may tie her on one and she blows him away on two others. Two out of three ain’t bad. Especially when she’s running for VP, not President.
Maybe Obama thought it would be easier to beat on a woman than on a veteran. Wrong, big ears. This woman will feed you to a polar bear.
Go back to your level of competence and don’t come back until you accomplish something.

Stefanie – Surely youre not that naive to believe that the Clintons were at all sincere in their endorsemnet of the backstabbing Obama and his dem puppeteers? Hillarys words. “John McCain has a lifetime of experience,, Barack Obama hasa speech he gave in 2002″ Bill Clinton “They played the race card on me”. The Clintons swallowed their pride, and flat out lied for the sake of a party who has already selected their nominee months ago.

this is how she is supposed to respond SO SHE DOESN’T SOUND BITER AT ANOTHER WOMAN USURPING HER LEGACY.
wait two days.

Palin should hire Axelrod. If he can almost convince us the other night that we were watching Obama’s inaguration rather then the acceptance of his nomination then he could take Palin and make her look Presidential too.

“Does McCain believe YOU are not doing the job as well as Johnny because you are a female? Just WHY does McCain believe we are not worthy of EQUAL PAY?? Ladies, this is called Prejudice!!”
Oh please! Can the fake concern about what Hillary’s Supporters want.
Her Supporters have “gotten over it” and moved on to support candidates that will not be calling us racist, uneducated and ignorant. Respect happens to be a BIG issue with us and we are going where we can get it. We are now supporting the McCain/Palin ticket.
Toodles!
PUMA!

I am a woman and I don’t vote gender. I vote policy.
It doesn’t matter that Sarah Palin is female. She could have 11 children, run 10 miles a day and be able to swap from blackberry to breast pump while hunting for moose and I would never vote for her.
Voting for her would be voting against every principle I stand for. It would be voting against everything that Hillary Clinton has been fighting for.
The Republican Party and John McCain do not believe in Equal Pay for Equal Work. They do not believe that women should have the right to choose what to do with their bodies.
This is not a pro-woman party or platform and as long as men like John McCain are members of this party, the 18 million cracks in that glass ceiling will be nothing more than window dressing.
This is the most important election of my life. The Supreme Court, our standing in the world, the future of our economy, our schools, our planet will come down to this vote.
This is not about girl power. It’s Republican politics as usual and women voters should take heed. Palin isn’t here to play to Hillary voters, she’s here to play to the Republican base. Guns, G-d and Gays.
I won’t get suckered by peep toe shoes. I am way too smart for that.

PUMA!

During the Democratic primaries
Palin called Hillary a whiner and
told her to drop out of the race
because Obama’s delegate lead was
insurmountable.
Why was it her business to pop
off about what went on in the
Democratic contest?
Now she talks about Hillary like
she has known her all her life
and wants Hillary supporters to
come out and vote for her in
November.

“LeeLee: When you do vote for McCain remember to ask him what will he and Palin willing to do for you, (unless you don’t care) because after all people have fought hard and long for women’s right to vote now we’ll see in you and the rest of PUMA if that struggle was worthwhile, and keep in mind there are many men in PUMA too and they dont’t have anything to lose regarding Roe vs Wade.”
We are not concerned with Roe v Wade – that is a bogus argument. I remember well the Women’s Lib movement and all they fought for and gained. However, the Democratic Party has set it back about 50 years with its misogynist treatment of Hillary and her supporters.
I can live with 4 more years of the Republican Party, I will not live with 4 years of Obama who was selected by the DNC and is totally unqualified for the job of the President of these United States. As he put it so well himself, “that is above my pay grade.”
PUMA!

LeeLee: I sure hope you’re not a woman talking nonsense like that. When Obama wins PUMA will be history and fade out of existence, I can hardly wait for this embarrassing group to disband because any group that’s willing to spit on the sacrifices many made for women’s right to vote don’t desire to be mentioned of again.

No body is calling Pilan names, we are merely pointing out her lack of experience in various venues of governance. She hereself stated she has not paid attention to the war in Iraq! In my estimation, EVERY GOVERNOR MUST PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT’S GOING ON IN IRAQ!! After all, aren’t our military servicemen and women FROM EACH AND EVERY STATE IN OUR UNION?? AREN’T GOVERNORS THE “HEADS OF THEIR STATES” SHOULDN’T THEY KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE UNITED STATES, YES, ALL 50 STATES?? The Iraq War has had a tremendous and negative effect on all of us and this woman has not been paying attention to the Iraq War??? And the republicans think she is ready to be president if, God forbid, McCain gets elected and he dies within the first year of that presidency? ANYTHING can happen to McCain—heart attack, anuerisms(sp), a fatal car accident, a fall, you name it, which would incapacitate him or kill him, and this woman would become the president? And please do not lie about Senator Obama not having legislative experience, he has 12 years of legislative experience and substantive bills which he authored, co-authored, sponsored, or co-sponsored, some of which have become law or awaiting votes! A major of a small villiage in Alaska and the governor of the smallest population in the USA does not a vice president make, and much less a president! Guess McCain plans on his VP not being involved in his governance.

LeeLee you said “No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her sex.”
- Susan B. Anthony
That is so contradictory if you go to vote for McCain, get over your tantrum long enough to review his and Palin policies regarding womens rights, i.e no equal pay for equal work, no right to choice etc, then you’ll see that you’ll be dishonoring the same person you’ve just quoted. Totally hypocritical.

I wasn’t a Hillary supporter but we have a lot to thank her for. She opened the doors to us women and opened the “all-male club for president” eyes that women are tired of men running our lives and our country. Palin was a brilliant choice, but McCain might not have considered her if he hadn’t seen the huge support Hillary recieved from women. Here’s a man that is actually listening to women and not the special interests like Barack Obama’s pick, Biden, whose son is a lobbyist by the way. Obama should have swallowed his pride at not being more worshipped than Hillary and picked her. He might have actually had a chance at winning.

sean – Obamas real first botched decision was not vetting his VP selection team. Two of the three ended up under the bus in a matter of a couple of days.

Kay: Sounds like you and McCain just don’t get it. It has always been about the issues not the candidates.

Obama made the biggest mistake in his campaign not putting Clinton on his ticket. Think about… (slowly)
1) She got 18 million votes!
2) She spent millions and is debt now to get 18 million votes!
3) She worked for SEVERAL months to get 18 million votes!!
I’m sorry, but the dems do not deserve to win. They cheated out Michigan and Florida… not to mention the 18 million voters.
Go McCain/Pilan 2008. This Democrate is registering Republican next week. You deserve to win. You ran a democratic election and my family who has died for our freedom appreciates it. I’m American and will not be with a antidemocratic party… ever. Shame on you Dems! Shame!

Only the true Hillary supporters will stick with her, and like she said were you in it for her or the issues. Obama isn’t going to lose because he’ll still have the true Hillary supporters, he doesn’t need the “Any woman supporters” If any woman will do then John McPander is the one for you. I hope his no equal pay for equal work works well for ya.

I AM a true Hillary/Clintons supporter and give me ONE good reason Obama picked Biden over Hillary. Any Democrat would probably agree Hillary is more qualified than Biden as VP(considering she’s(or more specifically team Clinton) been there done that and quite successfully I might add.
The point is not only the issues but also as Obama said himself, JUDGMENT. He has shown poor judgment in his first and what i would consider a no-brainer decision. As a life-long Democrat, I will vote for McCain. If he had picked a Romney(hardcore conservative
) as VP, I may have not voted at all, but I will vote for a Moderate Republican ticket over a grudge-bearing, judgment deficient Obama.

Am I really reading these comments from supposed former Hillary supporters who now plan to vote for the McCain Palin ticket just because Palin is female? That is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. The people making those comments were not really Hillary supporters, they are typical republicans using the usual tactics of lying and stooping to any low posing as “former Hillary supporters.” NO Hillary supporter, male or female could now support Palin if they have any sense at all. The ONLY thing Palin and Hillary have in common is their sex. Politically they are polar opposites and stand for completely opposite things. Just because Palin is a woman does not make her smart or capable. The Republican reasoning that women are so vapid and ridiculous as to vote for a candidate just because she is female and ignoring her stance on issues is truly demeaning. Palin may be female, but she is a Bush republican, conservative, gun toting, anti-choice, pro big business and oil, anti middle class, the polar opposite of Hillary. There is just no other way to say this, but ANYONE who agrees with Hillary’s stance on policies and would vote for Palin is an IDIOT. Sorry, don’t usually like name-calling tactics but, like it or not, that is just an indisputable fact.

badger1: How long have you known that about Palin? And was she the most qualified person for the VP choice?

Zeke: You are so right in everything you’ve just said. I would like to add that true Hillary supporters would saying “NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCPANDER!”.

Palin is not running for president. I am voting for McCain because he is a moderate and I think he’ll do a much better job than Obama (even though I was an Obama fan but Hillary supporter during the primaries). Obama has shown his true colors by not making the wise decision of choosing Hillary as VP. It would’ve not only guaranteed victory but would’ve been good for the Dem party and the country. However, the ONLY reason, he didn’t choose Hillary was because, he took things personal, couldn’t let go, and held a grudge. Essentially, he let his personal feelings get in the way of what was best for our party and our country. Me First, Country Second mentality, which to me rings ALARM BELLS of his capability to be commander-in-chief! That’s why I am voting for McCain this time!

I have a question for Obama. Why Biden over Hillary? It’s like picking an average Joe(considering how he did in the primaries) over the Michael Jordan of the Democratic party to be your wingman. Bottom Line: All Form, No Substance. At least McCain has substance and experience to back up his politics.

In the next couple of months
as voters get to know more
about Palin and her positions
on various issues, she’ll wimp
out like Dan Quayle.

vote4peace – what is this obsession with Palin being the most qualified for the VP? Why dont you instead answer a much more important question. Who from the democratic party is the most qualified to be the Presidential nominee? I’m waiting

badger1: You go first, I’ve asked that same question yesterday repeatedly and not one single Republican would answer it but instead answer the question with a question or dodged it all together why is that?

Obama leads McCain by 9 points
according to the latest polls.

I find it amazing that Obama supporters have the audacity to talk about Sarah Palins experience, when Obama, who has no executive experience, and no foriegn policy experience, never balanced a budget, or had veto power is actually the nominee for president. Yet they dont question this?? Somebody please explain this one to me.

Joe Biden voted for that war, yet Obama’s main reason to vote for him instead of Hillary was that she was for the war and he was against. So, if Obama is elected and something happens to him, then we still have a President that voted for the war. Sorry, vote4peace, I realize you can’t grasp more than three word phrases.

I am die hard Hillary supporter. Her speech and her backing of Obama is why I will be voting for him in November.
If you really truly did support Hillary you would do as she has asked her supporters to do.
What policies of McCain’s mirror Hillary’s? If you like the way things have gone the last 8 years, vote McCain. If you really truly supported Hillary then vote Obama because policy wise they are on the same side of the fence. To vote for McCain out of spite is ridiculous.
I happen to love this country and I am tired of the garbage that has gone on the past 8 years. The little stunt of putting a woman on the ticket won’t work. Palin is no Hillary Clinton.
“No way, No how, No McCain”

I recently was a computer technician for the State of Alaska. Before that I was a full time Alaska Army National Guardsman. I had the honor of meeting Gov Sarah Palin once.
I was the driver for the Dep of Military and Veterans Affairs’ management (directors, commish, etc). They had me drop them off at the capitol building to meet with their newly elected governor and they invited me to sit in on the meet and greet.
I have to say that Gov Palin is a very good communicator by the fact that she really listens to you when you are talking. During the meeting she had to step out for a five minute prior arrangement.
We continued our briefing with her chief of staff. She returned and apologized for the interuption. She had promised her youngest daughter that no matter if she became the governor or not she would still take the time to pick her up at the bus stop after school.
That of course doesnt come from a power hungry politician. This is the kinda rare person that you run across at school or work once or twice in your life and you say to them, “Someone like you should be the President.”
That person emits such an honest quality about them…caring yet very strong. The person we wish all our leaders would be. And of course they always just grin and say, “Me, President? Yeah, right.”
But now’s our chance to have that kinda person in the White House, at least as OUR Vice President of the United States of America.

j.
I AM a supporter of Hillary… and will N E V E R vote for Obama because of the many ways he mistreated her and denigrated her and played the race card against her and Bill.
So… DO NOT iNSULT ME BY IMPLYING IN YOUR POSTING THAT I WOULD DO OTHERWISE…

Obviously they can put it behind them and so should her supporters. Go ahead and vote McCain, you’ll get 4 more years of misery. To vote for him to teach the democrats a lesson is stupid. This is our country not some game.
Another Hillary quote that swayed me
“the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose. We are on the same team and none of us can afford to sit on the sidelines. This is a fight for our future And it is a fight we must win.”

j – sorry to hear that your brainwashed by the Obama campaign, and the liberal media slogan of Mcain Bush 4 more years. Biggest crock of propaganda in this election. I have no problem with my current financial status anyway. I work hard, and make good money. McCaindoesnt want to raise your taxes, he wants to make gas cheaper by drilling. You opposed to his agenda to save you money? Sarah palin has been saving the people of Alaska money since she was a Mayor, and now Goveror.

Every Democrat that voted for the war has said they’ve changed their mind. So, again, how is Biden any more absolved of the fact than Hillary is?
Do you think Obama will be putting Biden in charge of economic policy? After all, he was the driving force behind the bankruptcy law reforms which in turn helped create the current housing crisis. There was a time when people got into financial difficulty and filed bankruptcy and could keep their primary residence. Instead, they now lose the house. Biden earns 169 thousand a year, but he is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 thousand, one of the poorest members of the Senate. One thing about it, when Bill Clinton was in office, we all had money in our pockets and I’m sure his wife is just as good as economics. Better than Obama’s Socialist policies.

Enough! It’s not Hillary’s responsibility to attack Obama. She’s not a candidate. Hillary is gracious, and Obama got his attack dog, remember? His name is BIDEN.

MCCAIN WILL WIN****HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA*****
Posted by: Andrew | Aug 31, 2008 6:12:07 AM
Speak for yourself. After her speech this one is going to.

THESE ARE VERIFIED QUOTES FROM GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS:”I don’t believe in interracial relationships, I was born in Idaho and raised to believe that whites and blacks shouldn’t date each other”, “I want creationism as the only theory taught in our schools”, “I don’t know a lot about Iran, I just heard that they are bad people”, “He can say he is a christian but as far as I’m concerned, Obama is a muslim, look at his middle name”, “The bible will at some point, be in every classroom in our great state if I have my way”, “Here in Alaska, we don’t have hardly any Blacks, I never talk to them, so I was surprised that a black girl beat me in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant”AMERICA, WAKE UP, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO ELECT…….Posted by:Opposition Research Company————————–Wow! Possibly could be the Commander in Chief? Not by my vote!!

Since when is it Hillary’s job to do the heavy lifting for the men who pushed her aside? Give me a break. The roll call that didn’t happen. I ask the DNC where the representation of the people was. I know Arkansas and Florida and California and other states did not give Obama a win. Yet, when the started the faux rollcall, they all went for Obama. Funny, do the American people know that the delegates were made to place their votes on paper in their hotel rooms to be gathered by Obama workers and were then threatened to change their vote from Clinton to Obama or else. Ask some delegates what happened. Many are willing to tell you.

To all Clinton Democrats that have felt cheated:
This primary has revealed DNC “leadership” to be corrupt, mean-spirited, and lacking respect for basic democratic principles. They have completely and effectively ceded the moral high ground to Republicans at this point.
1. We have seen the race card played, with assistance from both Dean and Brazile.
2. We have seen rampant sexism with no objection by the DNC.
3. We have seen the superdelegates endorse as quid-pro-quo for campaign contributions.
4. We have seen arm-twisting of the congressional delegates by “neutral” Nancy Pelosi to declare for Obama.
5. We have seen an unabashed ageism campaign against John McCain, calling him “confused”, and that he has “lost his bearings”.
6. We’ve seen a softening of support for the gay and lesbian community.
7. We’ve seen caucus cheating.
8. We’ve seen intimidation of Hillary supporters, hack attacks and coordinated threats against voters and media that dare to dissent.
9. We’ve seen manipulation of the party nominating system and media to favor one candidate over another and the outright redistribution of votes cast for one Hillary and given to Obama.
This is now a democratic party in name only.
Thank God for McCain’s choice…………..
Obama the empty suit can’t win this election. What a disaster.
Obama never won the primary. Obama stole it from Hillary.The world watched the DNC hand the nomination to Obama by silencing voters.
Obama has destroyed the Democratic Party because of his own self centered narcissist personality.
The media can say what they want about Obama winning the primary but voters know the truth, especially Clinton supporters. Obama ignored voters. Florida and Michigan will never forget it.
Obama and Michelle were given a second chance to put Hillary on his ticket, but instead chose to hog the glory and embarrass the Democratic Party. Obama could have won these women over.
Now McCain is winning the Hillary women with his VP pick.
Obama is risky, radical and not a great patriot. Remember: Rezko, (the criminal), Reverend Wright (the anti Semitic racist) and William Ayers ( Obama’s coworker = domestic terrorist)
God is watching and the world is staring at our unfair voting process.
The Democratic Party is embarrassing, especially Barack Hussein Obama.
Thank God for McCain!

mccain/plain if you haven’t noticed the evangelical vote isn’t going to matter one way or the other this year, its the independent voters who turn a state red or blue, and thats a fact.

The London Times has not predited anything right so far so why should any of us pay any attention to their opinion. Obama will lose in Nov., Pelosi will get ousted from the big chair along with Reid, the Dems will retain control of the House but fall short in the Senate. They probably should have been nicer to Leiberman, and Hillary will probably challenge McCain or Palin in 2012 and win.

Governor Murkowski appointed Palin Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission,[23] where she served from 2003 to 2004. She resigned in protest over what she called the “lack of ethics” of fellow Republican members.[24][6] After she resigned, Palin exposed the state Republican Party’s chairman, Randy Ruedrich, one of her fellow Oil & Gas commissioners, who was accused of doing work for the party on public time and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail.[25] Palin filed formal complaints against both Ruedrich and former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who both resigned. Ruedrich also paid a record $12,000 fine.[6]…………. Now that is real change. Sarah is a shaker and a mover, not just a talker filled with political rhetoric.

I cannot believe how dumb some of you women are. I am a woman and I can see through the choice McCain has made. Palin is a housewife. Hillary has experience and talent.
I am voting for Obama. You should listen to his speech. Really listen. Yes, I wanted Hillary but that is emotional. I like her. I don’t like Obama in the same way but this isn’t about liking someone it is about who is the best person for the job. I believe Obama is. I also think his choice for VP was a good one.
Come on woman, think instead of being run by your emotions. Do you think I am patronizing? Maybe I am but it feels like I am talking to a bunch of children who can’t think for themselves.

Hillary and Bill Clinton stepped up to the podium and did what was required of good Democrats…
Their speeches should not be interpreted as anything more than doing their duty as Democrats…
Not having a woman on the Obama ticket points to the control that Michelle Obama would have in the White House…
Is that what anyone really wants?
Anybody But Obama…

Does anyone understand that it is not acceptable to bite the hand that feeds you and then keep expecting more feedings? What the H–ll does the Obama squad expect from Hillary? Obama lost this election when he selected Biden, a less-qualified, Iraq war supporting white male to “balance” the ticket over a more qualified woman supported by half of the Dem. party. As a lifelong Democrat, he lost my vote at that time. Obama’s change is not change I can believe in. McCain’s change doesn’t require belief at all–it is real–he added a woman with executive experience to his ticket. Kudos McCain. For all of you who would criticize people for voting for a gender balanced ticket, note that 93% of all African-Americans are supporting Obama. I’d rather vote for Hillary and would have voted for Obama had he put her on the ticket. His stupidity and arrogance in noting doing so will be his downfall.

McCain is clearly going for Hillary’s supporters unhappy with Obama. But the last thing he should do is to put a woman who has less foreign policy experience than Obama in a position to become the first female president of the United States. McCain is 72 with a history of skin cancer. The possibility is very real that if he wins he may not finish his term. Do people really think that Hillary and her supporters will be happy that a woman with zero foreign policy experience might become the president of the United States before her?

I find it incredibly laughable that the Obama kids are telling us that McCain is trying to fool us. Listen, we KNOW what is going on. We knew what went on when Obama’s camp tried to tear down the Clinton’s when he dealt the race card. We knew what was going on when he catered to the youth to tear down elderly support. We knew what was going on when he insulted the Working Class. We knew what was going on since the beginning when Obama won Iowa. Those of us who paid close attention saw the symbolic brutal beating of women, of Hillary as a woman and we saw it inhumanely increase throughout the campaign until people started fighting back against Obama’s (Old man Ted Kennedy (whose family has problems with women), John Kerry (whom I volunteered for and know he’s an egotistical, self centered jerk), Tom Daschel and the rest who are envious of the Clinton’s popularity, attack viciously anyone who supported the Clintons in order to win. Yeah, we know what dirty politics are…We know when a candidate speaks something and does something else looks like. We know, from Obama’s “New Politics”; Brass Knuckly beat them into submission to do what we say.

We know that we won’t be manipulated by the Obama bratz or the McCain Palin ticket. However, do you know that there will be people who vote as women for a woman. You should….many blacks (I am black and proud of it) are voting for Obama (I’m not) precisely because he IS black. We also know Math 50%+50%=100%. But the Kennedy old guys, wouldn’t have it. They are and they have been envious of the Clintons and were willing to throw a win for Dems away.

I’m offended that Sen. McCain thinks he can tease me into voting for him because he put a young, attractive woman on the ticket who is NO Hillary Clinton.

Hey Hillary supporters….the best ticket that would be perfection best would be Clinton/Palin or Palin Clinton!! The best of both worlds… I will not disrespect Hillary and vote for Obama…Hill said that Obama was not qualified, Bill said he was not qualified, even Biden said he was not qualified….what else does anyone need to know…Hillary, let Obama do his own dirty work….do not lower yourself to his level..besides, if you do they wills say you are jealous of her…do NOT give them that ammo against you!!

Hillary should tell the DNC to shove it. After the way she was treated, I was impressed that she had anything good to say and I am a Republican. Palin is a true conservative and McCain was smart to put her on the ticket. I was very lukewarm about McCain but now I am sending him money and then the RNC after the 30th.

McCain creamed Obama at the Evangelica Forum debate. It was Obama who stumbled on every word (because he did not have a teleprompter). McCain spoke eloquently and extemporaneously and made a lot of sense. Obama, as usual was a complete failure without a teleprompter.

It is not Hillary’s responsibility to go after Palin, she is not the VP for obama so it has nothing to do with her, she does not owe him anything not a damn thing, she has already done to much. I hope that she just watch this play out and stay away from it, let him handle his own dirty work. If he wanted a pro to handle the issues he would have made her VP, let Biden do it.

Amen!
And don’t you know Biden’s gonna be like a bull in a china shop!

In a nutshell: Many of us HRC supporters want “democracy” to be injected into the “Democratic” process, once and for all!! Dean, Pelosi, all RBC board members, other DNC party leaders need a loud and clear message!
For those afraid of the Supreme Court, it takes a majority to confirm/deny, and by all accounts, the Dems should increase their majorities. The Dems would have the power to reject or accept.

Most of you need to get the ANGER OUT, or Obama is not going to win this election or worse win the vote count and still lose to McCain.
Hilary is out; now move on save the country and make sure the Obama Ticket wins the election. Or God help us.

The odds favor Palin as President by the end of four -4- years, folks.

With all do respect to McCain, being a POW does not make one exceptionally qualified in international diplomacy. Palin is favored as one best qualified to Govern Alaska. Her personal choice to value her baby’s life beyond complications of downs is honorable. But as a business woman and a full time mother of two young ones and a conservative independent voter Obama and Biden are the best choice for a stronger and prosperous America. Palin should be able to stand her own in a debate and the gloves should be off when up against Biden or anyone critic for the positional bid to occupy one of the highest offices in this country. I remember Dan Quayle and the Bush Sr, does anyone else remember how bad the economy went then? Yes they won and that team- Bush Quayle ran this country right into the ground. McCain/Palin is recycled policy from the same vein.

I truly don’t see how she is any less experienced then Obama. Maybe the press will have to lay their actual job experience and accomplishments side by side. It’s a good point that she has almost, more, or the same amount of experience as Obama who is the top of the ticket. Hillary has done her part to help Obama. The media seems to think she owes him everything. If he needed her help this badly, he should have put her on the ticket. Obama created this opening for McCain. Even if you don’t like Palin’s conservative background, McCain does show he is courageous and determined to energize his own party.

Nobama Nobama I mean No Obama or his troll. She hates America so Much go back to Africa And get his family out of the gutter. She all the sudden loves her country please how stupid do you think Americans are.

She’s a nutter! Anti-science, anti-choice, pro-death, pro-oil, and pro-abuse of power. This shores of the Christian radicals in the country, but we will not be duped again. Science and reason will not be crucified for these archaic beliefs.
McCain fails to grasp that Sen. Obama is not the change, his approach to governance is. Obama is, and has been through the continual republican slanderfest, cool calm and collected. He is the product of some of our highest institutes of learning and has demonstrated great judgment regarding foreign affairs, energy, the environment and reform. His economic positions are not based on punishing business, but by bringing balance back to our economic systems. When business rules government and makes their own rules our power, the power of our great citizenry, is corrupted and the nation suffers.
McCain, this election is about vision. It’s about harnessing our innovation and intelligence, about aspiring to causes greater than the short-sighted gains of bloated bureaucrats, lobbyists and their constituents. We want to rebuild our electrical grid and develop our renewable resources so that we can free ourselves from foreign energy. We want to renew our standing in the world and reinvigorate world politics because we understand we are not alone in this world and that not only are the world’s problems are ours as well, but that they require more than bravado to solve. We want to provide the basic underpinnings of a smoothly functioning democracy; education, health and opportunity. And yes, it will take hard work and sacrifice as we strive towards these goals, but I for one am willing.
McCain, you my friend are still looking behind you, and while your choice in Palin is to be acknowledged as a step forward for the republican party, your policies and approaches to governance have failed. Hillary Clinton is a great woman, Palin pales in comparison, and your nod to her as your VP is indicative of your cynicism and disrespect for the American people and women in particular. To use the women’s struggle as a divisive political tool is disturbing to say the least, and I have faith in the daughters of America to recognize your long record of sexism in both your political and personal life.

Oh Geez..I’m sure Hillary would just love to help out Obama with this Palin situation , but you know her “in box” is swamped, and she has a pretty full calender next couple months you know…. I wouldn’t worry about I’m sure all those Hillary voters have “gotten over it” like they were told to by the media and Obama campaign so….you know.

Hillary has already done more for Obama then I suspect he would have done for her had she been the one nominated. Enough already, she deserves time to go off and lick her wounds not run around propping Obama up.
We’re tired of waiting for the ideal woman. Hillary was the best we could have hoped for in experience and pure tenacity.
Now, the republicans are offering another chance to push a woman through the glass ceiling once and for all.
Assuming Obama/Biden win in ’08, they’d likely run again in together in ’12. That means it will be at least 8 years before another female democrat would have the opportunity to run for VP or President.
No wonder, many women find McCain/Palin a tempting offer. It’s an opportunity to push a woman through the glass ceiling even if it’s not Hillary.
Obama should have picked Hillary for VP.

Senator Hillary Clinton is NOT Obama’s MOTHER.
It’s not her job to unite the party, or attack Obama and Biden’s opponents for them, just because of her gender.
When the heck is Obama going to be responsible for Obama?
HILLARY is not Obama’s MOTHER.
Let him clean up his own dang mess!!

I don’t think that Obama is a Muslim plant by any means. But I do think he is dangerous to middle and low income workers. Several of the policies he supports have been used in the past and have proven to adversely effect he country as a whole, but the middle class was the hardest hit.

I have been following the election since January. I have only really looked at ABCnews blogs, and I must say, it is so hard for me to believe this is America. I do love this country, but I hate what we have become. We degrade women, we write racist remarks and we disrespect those who risked their lives for our country.
I am voting for Obama, but I think McCain does want to change this country. I honestly feel anyone will be better for America than Bush.
My family lost everything in Katrina even my grandfather died because of the lack of healthcare available.
I wish that everyone would stop all the bickering and hatred and try to unite. I do not agree with abortion, but I do feel that a women has a right to choose, it is just not a choice in my family – I am a Christian- and I know I am not going to hell because of this.
Just remember everyone, they are all politicians (just like a used car saleman). They will do, say and do and say anything to get your vote. Be smart make the decision that is best for your house and stop all the hatred. God does not like ugly. Ultimately, He has already made the choice of who will be president, so just pray for our country and the men and women who aspire to lead the country and that does include Bush!

God Bless America, I say. And, God Bless John McCain.
I am also a Naval Aviator and I know the kind of mental abilities that are required to survive in all situations. If you or most other Americans were to ever be asked to be a Naval Aviator, I am thinking that you would realize that you don’t have the ability to do what we have done and love doing it. You must think we are crazy to think that we can land a very heavy, fast jet airplane aboard a “postage stamp” in the middle of the ocean. But, while it is sometimes scary, it is a risk we are always willing to take.
John McCain knows how rewarding it is to take a calculated risk and “win” the battle.
So, his choosing Governor Sarah Palin is like what we do when we take “the risk” of landing on a moving aircraft carrier. But, with Governor Sarah Palin, she showed him that she can be as much a real person who knows “risks” as anyone that is on the horizon.
And, it will be a joke when Sen. Biden and Governor Palin “debate.” After all she has taken on bull moose and with a clear eye, she has brought them down. He will be a very inept man when she goes against him. She has a brain that operates “outside the Washington ‘ole boys club.” And, what a lovely WOMAN she is … with more brains than looks, and that says a lot!!
God Speed to Sarah and John …

Obama has endured a grueling 18+ month long campaign season. He’s done more than 20 debates with the likes of Hillary, Edwards and Biden. It was his platform and his good tempermant and his good judgment that propelled him to the top. He has connected with and inspired millions of Americans. He earned his right to the top office. Palin was nothing more than a pick out of the blue.

Since Obama likes to talk about AUDACITY so much, I want to know where he gets the audacity to expect Hillary to campaign for him after he was so condescending and disrespectful to her. She has gone above and beyond what she needed to do to be considered a good sport about all this. I don’t even like her and I think it was disgraceful the way she was treated by her own party and the media.

I supported Hillary. She has always stood up for women’s causes.
I can tell you that she is not going to be Obama’s running dog and attack another women.
United we are strong, divided we will fail.
I think it is about time that we had a woman in the White House.
I am switching my support for Palin.
You Go Girl!!!

WHY ON EARTH should Hillary do their misogynistic dirty work for them??? Isn’t it interesting that BO doesn’t give Hillary an ounce of respect (i.e., allows others to call her a “racist” and “monster” while not even considering her as a running mate.) BO, take the pacifier out of your mouth and fight your own battles. Don’t spit in someones face and expect them to turn around and fight your battles for you.

I too feel that what Nobama did to Hillary was inhumane. I think you have expressed it very nicely.

I dont know if McCain was considering everything, this pick just seems kind of rushed.? Obama will find it if there is anything on this girl.

I have no doubt. Obama is an expert on dirty tricks. Look what he did to Hillary.

Remember what Hillary said “No Way, No How, No McCain” Palin does not represent nor stand for any issues/policies the voters of Hillary Clinton stand for. Palin represents only one thing and anyone with 1/2 a brain knows what that is.

Hillary stood up for women’s causes. I am sure she has changed her mind now that Palin is on the republican ticket.

never knew americans were so dump,somtimes u embarrass us all..u have a candidate like never b4,y not give him a try atleasr for change..

Palin nearly insulted HRC we all know that…
I was just wondering what would have happened IF Obama had called HRC “a whiner”?

Obama the empty suit can’t win this election. He’s a disaster.
He should have taken advantage of the Clinton’s popularity and the love still felt for them throughout the world.
Obama never won the primary. Obama stole it from Hillary.The world watched the DNC hand the nomination to Obama by silencing voters.
Obama has destroyed the Democratic Party because of his own self centered narcissist personality.
The media can say what they want about Obama winning the primary but voters know the truth, especially Clinton supporters. Obama ignored voters. Florida and Michigan will never forget it.
Obama and Michelle were given a second chance to put Hillary on his ticket, but instead chose to hog the glory and embarrass the Democratic Party.
Obama could have won these women over.
Now McCain is winning the Hillary women with his VP pick.
Obama is risky, radical and not a great patriot.
Remember: Rezko, (the criminal), Reverend Wright (the anti Semitic racist) and William Ayers ( Obama’s coworker = domestic terrorist)
God is watching and the world is staring at our unfair voting process.
The Democratic Party is embarrassing.

Lady T, Don’t worry about those idiots that don’t have the brains to figure this out as we have. The same was true when Gore and Bush ran. They were so sold on Bush that they could not see what Gore had to offer. Now you can’t find anyone that voted for Bush. Strange!

Why is it Hillary Clinton’s responsibility to pull the Democratic Party out of the hole they dug for themselves? Let me get this straight: She is NOT the nominee; she is NOT the VP nominee. But suddenly, the failure of the democrats to excited the voters to their side is HER fault?
Get real!!
I am an Independent voter and my former-Hillary vote will go to McCain/Palin. I listended to Hillary’s speech and thought she showed great class and dignity — much more than the DNC showed her! I just don’t buy it.
…and the last time I checked I still owned my own vote, dispite Obama and the DNC.

May I add, if Palin was a man we would not support him because of his views on very important issues. Do women not understand that McCain has slapped us in the face by acknowledging that the best woman he could select to try and “woo” women is one of the most under qualified woman to be Vice President. Vice President, does anyone understand what that is? Well Palin doesn’t. As women if we vote for Palin we are vocalizing our support of lowering the glass ceiling.

Barb said:
2)” Hillary is $22 million dollars in debt. The DNC and Obama are helping her to eliminate that. Former candidated aside, as a loyal democrat, US Sentator, former first lady, and one who is being helped financially, she should support the Democratic nominee.”
There have been deals brokered between the Clinton & Obama campaigns. Obama was “suppose” to help with Clinton’s debt, as is the customary thing to do, and Hillary agreed to throw many top donors his way. Well, turns out…Hillary lived up to her end of the bargain…Obama, not so much! Clinton’s donors have already raised millions for Obama. Obama has done very little for Hillary to date. A very big reason why tensions were so great between both camps.
Hillary is no longer $22 million in debt. She never wanted the $10 she loaned herself, so we were only looking at $12 million or so. Many of us ardent supporters have supported her in her debt reduction, and, last I read, many vendors were now being paid off.
Obama never seemed to think he needed the Clintons or her supporters, but his arrogance could be his undoing.
Hillary has already campaigned far more for Obama than past candidates did for their opponents. Most candidates didn’t even endorse their opponent until the convention,but Hillary was put through hell for waiting four days to endorse!!
I’m sick of the sycophantic media for Obama. Only after the fraudulent tactics Obama’s party activists used at the caucuses, which gave him a pledged delegate lead(as IF, this represented the “will of the people” ha)was he vetted in the least. Do you really think he would be the nominee if the msm hadn’t held the Rev. Wright story for so long, and are still holding stories….

Any Hillary supporter who votes for McCain-Palin is not a true thinker and supporter of Hillary. Don’t you realize that everything that Hillary stands for is the opposite of Palin? Are you willing to risk the plight of your country for revenge? Come on!!
