McCain VP Contender Palin in Alaska, Not Ohio

Well that is good to hear.

Where does ABC get their news? Man they are stupid. Yes, she was seen in Ohio last night by many spotters.
ABC… wake up. You are dumb.

LOL @ Choogle’s comment. I hate the term MILF, but Palin is definitely one.

Oh, she’s a MILF? That might explain why McCain is “reaching out” to her.
Maybe those old Tailhook instincts are kicking in.

Hmmm….not a bad choice….lots of upside

Doesn’t matter, McCain is an empty suite and I would never in my life time for this man into office.

well, I just typed this in and found that it exists: http://www.mccainpalin.com

WOW WOW WOW. IF SARAH PALIN IS MCCAIN’S VP, THEY WILL CRUSH OBAMA! PALIN ROCKS!!!

Supposedly her office confirmed she’s in Alaska to Dana Bash. I hope that’s a lie.
What confirmation from spotters do you have?

I like her upside, haven’t seen her backside yet.

And you still wonder why network news organizations are losing so much audience? Please get real.

Man you repubs must have some ugly woman if you think Palin is a MILF, if that is the best you can produce that is pretty sad.

I can’t stand the suspence…….
I was already making my McCain/Palin yarmulke.
I guess I’ll start embroidering my McCain/Lieberman yarmulke.

Palin is a mother of five, including a child with Down Syndrome that she chose to give birth to and raise rather than aborting. She’s a SOLID Conservative and pro-life woman who has done a LOT to clean up corruption in Alaska (remember the bridge to nowhere?) Hopefully she is the choice if it can’t be Romney. She’d be a good VP and get both the pro-life Conservative vote as well as the votes from the masses of angry and bitter Hillary supporters who can’t support Obama.

The reporter was able to get a statement from the Governor’s spokesperson at 4:00 am Alaska time?

I think it’s Palin!! Praise the lord!

I hope her spokespeople are just blowing smoke. I have been reading about Sarah Palin for a few months now and I like everything about her. For a few minutes there, I thought I had a reason to be excited about the Republican ticket. Please make it be so…..

Either ABC or the governor’s spokesperson is a fact bungler with, “The Governor’s spokesperson, Sharon Leighow, tells ABC News she’s going to the State Fair in Anchorage, Alaska.”
Well the State Fair in Alaska is held in Wasilla, Alaska and I’m guessing the Gov’s spokesperson knows that.

She would be a terrible choice. 2 years of experience as a governor and we should believe she can step right in to the presidency if needed = completely undercuts McCain’s best argument, that Obama doesn’t have the necessary experience. Hard to believe McCain would make such a stupid decision

How dumb are u people! First off people at the airport didn’t know who the person was. Secondly why would she land in Cincinatti if the announcements going to be in Dayton. Geeeez!

She’s not on the Alaska State Fair’s Daily Schedule. I’m betting on the blogs; I’m betting she’s the pick; I’m betting, despite her inexperience, she’ll make it a tighter race.

If this were true, I can’t imagine how Palin wouldn’t be offended, honestly. This pick would be as transparent as they come, and an obvious attempt to appeal to women.

This would really be an exciting ticket! I hope ABC has got this 100% wrong.

you can read about Palin’s trouble in Alaska here:

Don’t rule out Congressman John Boehner who represents Dayton, Ohio in Congress(Ohio’s 8th Congressional district). He’s the former House Majority leader. He wasn’t seen at the Dayton airport last night greeting McCain, even though they’re close friends.

ABC= All Barack Channel.
B. O. {something Stinks) loses in a LandSlide. 6th one for the GOP in 40 years. None, ZERO, ZIP for the Donkeys in the same time period. They only win, when they convince the dumb masses that they are Conservative. See Jimmy Carpenter, & BUUBA.

If they are trying to keep the news from getting out early what do you expect her office to say..”We dont know where she is, last time we saw her she was heading for the airport in the middle of the night”

Palin seems like a good choice, but, then again, she admits she once did POT!
As all good Republicans know, pot is a gateway drug that inevitably leads to LSD and Opium and makes you go crazy.
Palin should be arrested and thrown in jail for her dangerous drug habits.

Sarah Palin is not as experienced in government as McCain but maybe that is why she would be second on the ticket instead of at the top, like the equally inexperienced Obama. Meg Whitman would also be a great choice but nobody knows how she would do debating. She is the only self-made female billionaire I’ve heard of. Millions of women make a living on eBay and would know about her.

Wow, you wingers are crazy if you think there’s an upside here, IF she’s the pick. She brings in maybe 1% of Hillary supporters who the Dems lost anyway. No foreign policy experience, no significant achievements, up to her ears in Ted Steven’s scandals… And to top it off, Biden will tear her apart in a debate. Please, Please let it be her… Women aren’t stupid, and won’t vote McCain, he’s stated he’ll overturn Roe.

A statement like “Wake up ABC. You are dumb” is very odd since they are a part of the left wing, mainstream media that is backing this Hussein Obama hysteria. It’s a given they are. But I guess it’s good to remind them every now and then that not everyone subscribes to their idiotic fantasies. ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, CNN, MSNBC and the lot don’t have a clue as to what “real news” is. They only manufacture “news” (sans Rather and CBS and NPR) and give their opinions which is not “news”. Hence their fascination with Obama, and their unabashed backing of this God like creature.
I think Condoleezza Rice would be the perfect choice for McCain’s VP, but I don’t believe he has that much intelligence in his entire staff to choose someone of her caliber. 2nd place should go to Mitt Romney. Without either one of those two, Hussein is in the White House in 2½ months.

try Fred Thompson on for size. heard it here first!

“Man you repubs must have some ugly woman if you think Palin is a MILF, if that is the best you can produce that is pretty sad.”
yea, good call. i guess we’ll have to settle for Palin while you libs come out with Barbara Mikulski. now there’s a smokin’ hottie.

Horrible idea wrote: “She would be a terrible choice. 2 years of experience as a governor and we should believe she can step right in to the presidency if needed = completely undercuts McCain’s best argument, that Obama doesn’t have the necessary experience. Hard to believe McCain would make such a stupid decision”
Really? Because her two years as Governor of Alaska, that’s 24 months of executive experience where she shows up for work every day, is somehow inferior to Obama’s two years in the US Senate which equatest to fewer than 150 days of actual work experience. Again, you O-bots are grasping at straws here. If the Palin story scares you so much why not just threaten ABC with criminal prosecution like you did all those TV stations when they aired the Ayers add. Or alternately you could just have the reporter assaulted and arrested like you did to the ABC reporter in Denver.
You know for a group that calls themselves Democrats, you lot really don’t know much about actual democracy. thug Fascism you know, democracy not so much.

ABC News are idiots. Palin is in Ohio. If McCain picks her it’s over. She’s HAWT, mostly conservative (she has a somewhat pro-gay-rights message but otherwise very conservative), loves guns, did I mention she’s HAWT? What’s not to like?

Of course the Palin people are going to deny she is in Ohio! Everything has been so secretive thus far.

Some real idiots posting here. Like the one that doesn’t know how close Dayton and Cinci are. Or the other that tries to downplay Palins’s 2 years of executive experience NOT in Washington DC and her accomplishments. Compare that to the 143 do nothing days of Senate (Non-executive) experience of the Messiah, prior to running for President. I still think it is possible for it to be Palin and that would put the final nail in the Messiah’s cross.
BTW, is it hilarious or not that Obamabots are mimicking the “empty suit” description of the Messiah? Liberals are juvenile and remind me of Pee Wee Herman saying. “I know you are but what am I?’ LMAO!!!

It’s not Palin, but she wouldn’t help the ticket even if she was. She’s got a personal corruption scandal going on right no, plus she’s anti-choice, so she won’t attarct any women. The more I read about the more of C___ she appears to be. It’s going to be Lieberman.

Isn’t Alaska like 4 hr time difference. This would have her watching fireworks at 4:54 am???? if this was written at 854 EST…. I hope it’s her.

Mr. Obama,
Checkmate!!!

Have you ever been to the state fair in Alaska? It is kind of small in comparision to other state fairs. I’m thinking she could go to the fair and still make high noon in Ohio.

Sarah – So you’re supporting the guy who joked “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father.”
Huh. Okay.
Or the guy who once tried to start a fight with a 95-year-old Strom Thurmond, because Thurmond interrupted McCain once.
Have at it.
Or a guy who was chomping at the bit to invade Iraq, and who announced Iraq as a “second phase” of the war, on the David Letterman show, in October 2001 (more than a year before Bush says he made that decision).
What can I say. Its your vote.

Do we have it confirmed that she’s in Alaska? Or are we assuming that because the spokesman said she was going to the state fair today? She could quite possibly go to the state fair tonight and be in Dayton earlier in the day.

Bob M,
The airport that she was reported to fly into was in Middletown, OH which is 27 miles from Downtown Dayton or 30 miles by car. Do you wish to take back that those bloggers are dumb who reported this. Heck, JFK is about that far to Midtown Manhattan in NYC! I hope that was her on the plane. She seems to be a good choice to me.

I’m sure there are some sexists in the republican party. Most of them are in the democratic party. But one thing’s for sure….the good looking, smart, interesting babes are in the REPUBLICAN party!

Sarah Palin is wonderful – I hope she is the one!!

The Libs are crapping themselves right now thinking about Palin…They know any bounce from last night has just dissapated…They (the democrat party)would be done with this pick. Does anyone remember the debate with Lazio and Hillary? How do you think Biden will come across to women???

The Dan Quayle for the new millenia.
I thought he was already on the top of the Democratic ticket.

Please Lord, let it be Palin.

If McCain is an empty suit what term would you use for BHO?

Paul Thanks for the joke. It’s very funny.
Question: If you think it’s in bad taste why did you repeat it for millions to see? Hmmm….
And thank God McCain is not afraid to fight terrorism, Islamic and otherwise. You just gave us two more reasons to vote for McCain.
Oh yeah it’s polite and OK to interrupt when someone is speaking, if you are a left wing liberal. Just like it’s now OK to stifle free speech, especially if that speech points out that the Messiah is a close associate of an unrepentant radical domestic terrorist and self-avowed enemy of the US. And just like it’s OK to strong arm and arrest a reporter that was uncovering the relationships between Big Time donors and powerful Dems.

The fireworks at the State Fair are at 10:15 PM Alaska time. She could make it back there from Ohio in a private jet in time to see the show.
Did the Governor’s spokeswoman confirm that she is IN Alaska right now, or did she just say “the Governor will be attending the State Fair today?”

The “empty suit” in this horse race spoke last night on a stage in a stadium in Denver. Once again his speech was long on symbolism, short on substance. The selection of a strong female would give angry Clinton supporters, PUMA Democrats, somewhere to turn after seeing their party pick an old-guard running mate. Which ticket is for change?

If she indeed is the pick, I can’t imagine that they would do anything to tip it off. Of course they would try to say she is still in Alaska. I am quite pumped about the potential of a McCain / Palin ticket. What a pair — it’s like two people of the same mind, someone new to Washington, and someone who can fill in the gaps left by HRC for the disillusioned. Hoping it is Palin, I’m anxiously awaiting the announcement.

Palin was spotted in Ohio. ABC news is pathetic.
Best of all, after all the old ugly hags in politics, finally a MILF running for national office!!!

what’s the difference who she is? Even if McCain wins this time around, he will lose to Hillary in 2012.

PALIN, PALIN, PALIN

Palin is definitely a MILF! What makes her even more so is that she’s intelligent. Very quick wit, sharp on her feet, conservative, 5 children, and hot! What more could we ask for. She really shows how god awful Hillary and Pelosi look!

Could it be Condi Rice?

“what’s the difference who she is? Even if McCain wins this time around, he will lose to Hillary in 2012. ”
Still a better choice than 8 years of Obama, the Rockstar.

I’m wondering if Palin’s spokesperson would even know if she was in Ohio. It’s 5:00 am in Alaska, after all, and it’s also becoming fairly obvious from the coverage that the McCain campaign has decided to make this a big league secret. Intrade markets on Palin went from near nothing up to above $80 this morning on the rumour and then, after the ABC release, dropped quickly to $30, but didn’t go any lower. This may be a base of people with more information. At any rate, it’s back up to $60, so ABC’s report doesn’t seem to be taking hold.

Hi…Billy Mays here for Palin. She is tougher than “Mighty Putty” and any job big or small, Sarah Palin does it all. And if you call now…I will double the offer…

CNBC is reporting that Palin is the VP pick.

I hope it’s Palin! She rocks! She even challenged the Republican Party in Alaska and cleaned up the corruption! If it’s Palin Mccain gets my vote! She hunt’s fishes, she’s family woman, ethical, hard working and pro-guns.

1) The State Fair is going on until Sept. 1, so strike one against one of the commenters (albeit he wwas a positive commenter).
2) The State Fair is in Wasilla, not Anchorage.
http://www.alaskastatefair.org/2008/thefair/fairinfo/generalinfo.html
3) Palin has more experience governing a state than Obama has governing ANYTHING. So what’s good for the goose is good for the gander–McCain/Palin will CRUSH Obama/Biden. Obama will get IL, VT and probably DC.
4) I am a registered Independent who was fervently pro-Clinton. While it would make me very, very sad that Senator Clinton would not be the first lady P or VP, I would settle with Palin in there.

Jack you’re a moron. I was responding to the idiot “Called Common sence” who said that she flew into Cinci. Middleton Airport is about 24 miles from the center of Dayton. Heck she could have flown into Springfield and driven to Dayton. Big deal.
Too many idiots on the internet these days.

If it’s Palin, then today marks the first day I’m excited for the McCain campaign. McCain/Palin ’08!!!!

lol, the O-bots are getting nervous. They cant argue on the facts anymore, not like they ever could, so now they’re cutting and pasting press releases to pump their candidate’s celebrity.
Welcome to the real world O-bots! McCain-Palin will kick Obama-Biden’s ass in November!
No Fraud, No Intimidation, No Obama! Go PUMA!!

Governor Palin is not in Ohio…she’s right here with me in Minnesota, in my house! I WISH!

Maurice: Testy, testy. have a look at your numbers tomorrow or the next day and watch that 20% evaporate. I happen to know a thing or two about math, since you asked. Events take a minimum of three days to influence polling data, since most respectable pollsters use a 3-day aggregate of results. 3 days ago, we hadn’t heard from Hillary, Bill, or Barack. Believe me, the Clintons brought their supporters home. Yesterday Gallup showed a 6% bounce from what was effectively 1 day of convention results. Wait until Sunday and see it go up to 10. You’re clinging to the media narrative that GOP strategists have fed you for the last week, since Hillary Dems voting McCain would be a good “story” except for the part where it’s not “reality.”
jw: Again, of course you’re not stupid, as I said. But you sound like a Republican, and he’s already got your vote. With Obama steadily polling 4-6 points ahead for the last 60 days, McCain has to peel off votes, and Palin will not deliver in that respect, for the reasons I listed.

If it is wrong choice, Dems will win.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE PICKED MICHAEL PALIN!!!!! I LOVED HIM ON MONTY PYTHON!!!!
Wait a minute. He’s not a US citizen. Can he do that???

I am a professional working women who has worked all my life ….. and wonder why is it that some people assume that choosing a women is “pandering to women” …. She is Governor of Alaska for heaven’s sake …. has it not occured to people that as CEO of a State she is actually highly qualified to be the VP pick and quite possibly the next president ? Oh but I forgot the “true feminists” do not truly want a woman to be President – only a left wing women who can agree with them on everything from their stance on Pro choice -baby killings to their rants on the war … Just a reminder that there are many females such as myself that are pro-woman; pro-business; pro-life and support our brave young women and men serving our country – Proud USAFA Mother of four – College prof in Ohio

Who could be excited about either ticket?

“”Palin does not have the experience to assume the presidency if required.”
Ummmm…Are you aware who the Democratic nominee for President is? A guy who is the same age as Palin and has spent 2 years in the Senate.”
Which means that all Obama has to do to refute the “Obama doesn’t have the needed experience” argument is to point out that McCain has put a person with a thinner resume one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Which means he has just dismembered his strongest argument.
If Palin is the choice, of course.

Airport manager said it MIGHT PROBABLY be her.
Oh God this would make my f’n YEAR.

It’s a done deal…it’s Palin!!!!

We may not know anything about Palin, but then again, what the heck do we know about Obama!!!

“If it is wrong choice, Dems will win.”
Have to disagree with that. Let’s not forget that running mates historically have had little impact on final results, at least according to conventional wisdom.
Remember, H.W. Bush won with Dan Quayle.

One problem: The State Fair isn’t in Anchorage.

My money is Palin. Her Alaskan Gov. website seems to be unavailable
http://gov.state.ak.us and
http://www.mccainpalin.com is a live site that checks out. What a move by the McCain camp to use a women to pander votes. Should make the race interesting though.

Wow, if you Republicans think Palin is a MILF, you have some incredibly low standards. Even if she wasn’t so fugly, the fact that she’s a Christian fundy means that she would be a frigid corpse in bed.

just released, none of her staff knows where she is

I just went to http://www.mccainpalin.com. There’s an official John McCain paid-for banner ad on the website. Check it out yourselves.

Can you believe the angry libs on the blogs this morning? They don’t know what to say. You guys should be still “tingling” from listening to the “Chosen One” last night. Instead I just see a bunch of angry dems who are about to see Barry H. Obama get his butt kicked. To the person who calls McCain an empty suit, you gotta be kidding me…Barry is the definition of “empty suit”. The Dems should have picked Hillary for VP…it would be a whole different race.

Palin would be PERFECT!
It would be great to have her as VP and set her up to run in 2016 and be the first libertarianconservative Female POTUS!!!!
Mcain/Palin ’08!
———————

…”The Governor’s spokesperson, Sharon Leighow”…
Somehow I’m not believing her!

Does McCain really think women are so stupid as to vote for him just because he has a woman as his VP? Really?
That is incredibly insulting.
* * *
Yes, McCain really does believe women are that stupid. Everything about McCain shows his disdain for women. Palin brings nothing to the ticket other than her appearance and the fact that she’s a woman.

Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What a stupid, unforced error by McCain. Choosing an inexperienced, personally corrupt, mentally defective religious fanatic. This is excellent news for the Obama campain. Good is finally going to win this time.

Palin? I dont know how this helps win in Nov. I am no McCain fan, but did you hear that thing last night.
Sure, stunning to the eyes, but if you closed your eyes Jimmy Carter could have been giving it….the same tired old liberal stump speech. Tax cuts for 95%…please tell me you guys do not believe that. Free college, free healthcare, free student loans, free pre-school, social security, job assistance, no oil in 10 years, government retooling of UAW plants?????
No one can buy that can they?

maurice: Oh and this will be the last thing I say here, I have to get back to my real life now, but us O-bots are not scared at all. Did you SEE the speech last night? We’re coming for you, and we’re going to fix the mess the Neocons have made of this country. I’d love to see a shred of evidence that we have anything to fear from a feeble old man who doesn’t know how many houses he owns, and has to make a mockery of his own honorable service by exploiting it for political gain every time someone questions his backward “policies.” We are not afraid. We have more money, more coverage, more new voters registering DEMOCRATIC, and more reason than ever to believe that we can save this country from the long national nightmare of the last 8 years. No one is scared but you, and you have every reason to be. Our convention was a pitch perfect, well executed, genuine turning point in recent political history. Next week will be a bunch of kids running around to defend their treehouse. And we have chainsaws.

Paul, this is the only reply you will get. No more time for fools or liberals. You say that joke was horrible so you posted it? C’mon. First, it was funny. Second, Both subjects of the joke are homely so that bit of truth makes it funnier. Third, the things (lies, slander, and filth) that come from the mouths of liberals and Democrats daily (read the Daily Kooks or the Huffington Post or even the drive-by media) make that joke seem fit for third graders.
The “lousy sense of geography” resulted in an evil dictator that supported terrorism and inflicted thousands of casualties and torture on his own people and his neighbors being disposed of. It has resulted in the near demise (European newspapers say total demise) of al-Qaeda. The terroists that attacked us are dead, Paul. Unfortunately, idiots like you want their accomplices and supporters released to create more deaths. (Gitmo)
Obama hates the military but loves a National Gestapo to stifle dissent. As far as we can see, the Messiah just wants to talk our enemies into submission. After listening to his repeated droning and lies, he may be right.
Too bad he didn’t attack Pelosi or Reid. How nice nice to have a President who won’t sit back and take it from the left.
Either you are incredibly stupid to swallow the lines that the Messiah is feeding you (He changes positions more than some change socks) or you are a left wing socialist.
Whatever your problem is, you are working for the wrong side. Maybe you don’t have a job or a business and are just looking for the govt (me and my fellow hard working Americans) to support you. Think again. It ain’t gonna happen paulie boy. McCain isn’t my first choice. He isn’t my second choice either. But he’s far far superior to that Marxist impersonating a real American.

Anybody can create a web site. The existence of http://www.mccainpalin.com proves nothing. The fact that gov.state.ak.us is unavailable only proves that the server is busy.
Though it is kinda fun to try to connect the dots, even when the dots don’t form a shape (yet :-).

Biden and his bad hairplugs couldn’t win a debate against a box of hair.

ABC News you suck!
Halperin, Chicago Tribune and CNBC call it for Palin – http://thepage.time.com/

CNBC is announcing Palin’s the pick. Which is sad, the fact that McCain just wants Alaska’s 3 electoral votes and a few Hillary stragglers, not real change.
Obama – Biden ’08!

Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What a stupid, unforced error by {the Dems}. Choosing an inexperienced, personally corrupt, mentally defective {liberal} fanatic. This is excellent news for the {McCain} campain. Good is finally going to win this time.
I changed 3 words….tell me where this is wrong

The libs are going to have to increase their Prozak dosage…You can tell they are scared Sh**less…

I’m a conservative. I like Palin’s politics. I like her personality. She’s a pretty lady now, and when she was young, she was stunning.
But what happens if McCain dies, has an incapacitating stroke, etc. sometime next March, and she’s suddenly president for almost fouryears? What is Vlad Putin going to make of her? He’s going to see an extremely green politician. What happens if he tries to insert nuclear missiles into Cuba or Venezuela and set off a potential second Cuban Missile Crisis?
I sure as heck don’t trust Obama in that situation. And at this point, I don’t know why I should trust Sarah Palin.

I can’t believe he would choose this Sarah Palin person. When the biggest attack McCain has on Obama is that he lacks experience – he brings on his own VP with even less? No way. I’d be shocked. And, McCain is 72 years old. His father dropped dead before he was McCain’s age, and so did his father’s father! This would really be stupid. I can’t believe some of you Republicans think this is a good idea. I still say its Romney – he’d be a fool not to. But then again…

If it is Palin, at least it is not Lieberman, Romnet, Palenty, or any one of the tired life-long politicians that would be akin to that corpse Biden. nearly 40 years in the Senate….now that is change I can believe in.

I see in the comments here some don’t know Palin…
She has been in the running for a long time…msm so busy covering Obama to cover her…She is a very smart person.
Can’t post links to stuff about her so you will have to google her.

She just SOLD HER SOUL to International Corporate BIG OIL just the day before yesterday… she approved giving SUPER PROFITABLE International Big Oil $500 Million in TAXPAYER DOLLARS for them to profit selling Alaska’s oil … and the deal would not produce any oil until 2018… more of the same McShame.
Lets hope he picks her – this story will bring them both down.

Women are no so retarded that they’re going to cut their own throats and vote for McCain just because he puts a woman who hates women on his ticket. I can’t wait to laugh in all your racist, inbred faces on election day.

“But who knows. Anyone know anything about her?”"
Yes, she is under investigation for using her influence as Governor to get her State Trooper ex-brother-in-law fired for divorcing her sister. She may well be impeached.

Oh No –
Since when does Clinton hit on good-looking women?

The state fair is in Palmer, not Anchorage.

Shannon how sad for you … “McCain for president based on this one issue alone”
This is what sickens me about your type … you are willing to support a political party that has destroyed America’s reputation, economy, dollar and the middle class…. all on one issue that McCain is NOT going to change.
Roe v Wade will not be overturned.
This corrupt party uses people like you.
SHAME ON YOU for being so easily duped … and for not being a Patriot ready to defend America when it needs it.
We can come back to the Abortion Issues (which I think is a Mother killing her child – not a fan) AFTER we drive out the CORRUPT REPUBLICAN PARTY.

If it’s Palin, McCain will win his base and therefore win the election. If it’s Lieberman, McCain loses his base and loses the election.

Does it matter. I mean really? Neither of these espouse true, American, Constitutional values. One is a radical socialist under the influence of Trotsky and the other is a radical socialist under the influence of Marx. Take your pick.

Dems are freaked out. They are pannicking they know this is a great pick. This is a real women a woman I would be proud to call my wife and VP. God bless you.

Glenn Beck program is saying Palin. God, I hope it’s Palin…Barackopolis was horrible last night!

Confirmed..Its Palin

Fox news is reporting that her staff can’t confirm where she is this morning. CNBC is reporting she is the VP nominee. Nice work ABC.

I think this is a great choice. It puts to rest a lot of issues that may hinder McCain in the election. Granted she has only 2 years experience but so does Obama. I love this political race between the two parties. Should he pick Palin, I think it will energize this country and you will see voting in November unlike at anytime in history.
I am still waivering back and forth between the two candidates with a slight lean towards McCain, but I will make my final decision after the debates.
There Obama will have no teleprompters to read from so we will get a better understanding of what he would be like when he has to answer questions in “real time”.
It will also give us the ability to see if McCain is good on the national stage and doesn’t look “old”.
The VP picks just add excitement to each ticket, but won’t be my deciding factor in who I choose. I am voting for President not vice-president and I am not banking on that something will happen to either one of them once they get in office.

PALIN ROCKS!!!

Palin would be a disastrous pick. She takes away McCain’s primary argument that Obama is too inexperienced to be president. She is also involved in a nasty scandal and the right wing-nuts in Alaska are going after her. One can only hope that McCain picks her!

Palin would be IDEAL. I’m so excited to see this happen. She literally takes away all of Bam bams thunder. She’s young, She’s fresh, She’s a woman, She’s younger, has executive experience, has spent more working hours at her job then Bam Bam. She will trump Biden at any debate. and she is conservative. She brings so much excitement to the ticket and this moment already sucks bam bams convention back to a nothing moment in time. YES!! Fox is reporting she is the choice!! YES YES YES!!

bear with me but whats milf?

She does kinda have that sultry, probably a wild animal in the sack, librarian look about her. Do you do the Dewey?
Still…not vote here.

I am wanted Mitt. But I am a female x truck driver prison officer and I love fishing. So hello to Sarah

MILF = Mom I’d Like to F(expletive)

SHE IS SO HOT HOLY GOD
MILFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

It’s interesting to me that, of all the Dem criticism of Palin’s lack of experience, not one of you has yet said BHO has more experience than her. I challenge one of you, go on the record — tell me that a community organizer lawyer with with a few years in the State Senate and a mostly no-show term in the US Senate has more executive leadership experience than a former Mayor and sitting governor? Please, one of you tell me that!!!

Palin has FAR MORE EXPERIENCE at actually accomplishing things than either Barak Hussein Obama or the walking hairplug from Delaware.

Gman – a MILF is “Mothers I’d like ‘mess around with’” to put it nicely.
And, as another poster commented, it is rather sad that so many of those thrilled with the Palin pick are talking about her appearance and how much they’d like to be bunkmates.
She’s a terrible choice. She’s inexperienced, and she’s in no way qualified to be the POTUS, and that was the primary criterion McCain needed in whomever he selected. What a political tool he has become.
McCain is as empty as they come. This is not the man who impressed me back in 2000.

Officially confirmed its PALIN!

President Palin? Jeez, I sure hope McCain stays healthy. Nothing wrong with a woman president, but Palin is NOT ready for that job.
Not that it matters, Obama and Biden will make mincemeat of them in the debates.

It’s brilliant. It’s absolutely BRILLIANT. The second any dem suggests she is inexperienced it opens the door to define who really is the most inexperienced and JM never once had to bring the topic up. The fools took the bait pointing at a seated Gov in an executive position while JM Says since you brought up inexperience lets talk about this inexperienced man running for President. It’s FREAKING brilliant!! I LOVE THE GOP!!!!!!
CONFIRMED IT IS PALIN!!!

My heart is soaring! Palin is a godsend for conservatives it and will show this country that filling Mile-High with 85,000 people doesn’t matter!

Thanks

Obama is sunk.
A jug eared basketball player and his hairplugged egomaniac running mate don’t stand a chance against Mcain/Palin.
**************************************

Y’all FAIL!

I wouldn’t think Palin would want the job with 5 kids with the youngest being 6 months old with downs syndrome. Why would she want to pack up her family and move to Wash? Or can she live in AL?

Given Ted Stevens troubles, is picking an Alaskan really a smart move?

Somebody threw ABC a curveball. FOX news is reporting that Palin is McCain’s VP.

I LOVE IT!
Palin is the VP pick for McCain!!!!

Palin??? I guess the White House will need to install atampon dispenser in the bathroom.

She is a good pick!!!!

Palin has consistently gone after Stevens to come clean about his financial dealings and cooperate with authorities. The fact that Stevens is from Alaska does not hurt her at all. Nice try though Libs.

I’m an Alaska resident. Gov. Palin has been our governor for a short time, but in that time she has made reforms that have greatly benefitted our state. I have faith that she would continue to do so as our governor, and if nominated and elected as Vice President I will give my full support to her. Her track record is short but impressive, I feel she would do well as the Vice President.

Palin??? I guess the White House will need to install atampon dispenser in the bathroom.

Very classy comment, Heywood, but there is no need.
McCain is officially toast. What a mistake. What experience does Palin have in the larger political arena? Are you kidding? Does anyone think she has the credentials to assume the presidency???

You got it wrong ABC – she’s the pick

Come on, Dems, are there no takers? I’ll make it very easy for you:
Barack Obama has more executive leadership experience than Sarah Palin.
[]Yes
[]No
Is there anyone who will dare to give me a “yes”?

OK, Roberta D. Fun’s over. Get back in the kitchen.
ToBNamedL8r: “Hey everybody! Look at me…Idaho? Alaska! I’m from Alaska. Look how knowledgeable I am about Alaska…cuz I’m from Alaska…I know where Palin lives! I know where the Alaska state fair is! You know why? Because I’m from Alaska!”

I hope it’s Palin! She rocks! She even challenged the Republican Party in Alaska and cleaned up the corruption! If it’s Palin Mccain gets my vote! She hunt’s fishes, she’s family woman, ethical, hard working and pro-guns.
If it it Palin, I will be jumping up and down screaming in excitement!!!

hee hee: Well I’m glad you have to get back to your real life now. I’m guessing that’s making sure mom did your laundry and you’re not late for your womyn’s studies lecture – yeah, I hated morning classes when I was a kid too.
Just an FYI, saw the speech and it was good. I’ve never denied that Barry can deliver a good speech when he’s got a telepromter in front of him and a friendly audience in front of him. Of course take away either of those elements and the man stinks on ice and you know it, otherwise Mr Change-Hope wouldn’t have run like a scared little biatch from the threat of townhall meetings when Maverick proposed the idea. Also, I love how you Obots are now so concerned that McCain, a genuine war hero and a man who was a POW for 5+ years, not sully his honorable service. Funny, when Kerry was our standard bearer we couldn’t brag enough about his time in Vietnam, and why not – he had a compelling story to tell and the Repubs have always smeared Democrats as being weak on the military. Now of course you lot have forced a candidate on us that not only has nothing comparable to offer, he’s friends with a freakin’ terrorist – or was the Weather Undergound an a capella singing group?
Yes, you’ve got more coverage – heck the MSM was so in the tank for Obambi that Hillary never really stood a change did she? She’d give a speech and wow the house they’d bury the lead, he’d successfully put on his shoes and it would be the lead story at 6 and 10. As for pitch perfect, it was so damn good that everyone not already a kool-aide drinking true believer was wondering what the message was until Hillary defined it for you and save Obambi’s bacon. That’s right, Obama owes his 6pt bounce to the woman he SCREWED over to get there. Funny how that works isn’t it? We’re supposed to suck it up and get over it for the good of a corrupt party’s inexperienced and unready candidate but without Hillary your man would be neck deep in sh*t right now. Nice to see it flows both ways. Oh, and as for the more money meme, really? You’re sure about that? The fund raising goal that Obama’s team needed to meet to make sure he had all the cash on hand he needed and enough to fund parthy operations was $100 million a month for the last three months. So far he’s yet to break the $70 million mark. That means either his campaign or the Party will take it in the shorts when funds start running low. I’m betting THE ONE isn’t the one coming out on the short end of that stick.
BTW, loved the whole tree-house, chainsaw metaphor. It made absolutely no sense, wasn’t apt to the event it described at all, and yet clearly conveyed a sense that you didn’t know what you were talking about but thought you were being clever. If I didn’t know better I’d swear you were actually the O-man himself.

What’s wrong with Elvis?

Yessssss. Great pick, now is just a matter of time before Joe Biden makes a stupid woman remark. Way to Go

I think by choosing Palin McCain will get all the women who supported Hillary. She will be a great pick by McCain. Yes if spending years as a POW, flying planes and being in the senate is considered an empty suit, then what is Obama who can only point to his book and community service? Please don’t be stupid, elect someone who can, will get the job done not a political Britney/Paris Hilton type.

Jose,
Clinton supporters are not going to vote McCain because of Palin; she is pro-life!

OH MY GOSH!!! I am in tears with joy about this VP Pick. She is amazing and I’m so excited I can hardly contain myself. Two years as Gov?! That’s worth more than 2 years as a legislature. She LIVES and breathes Alaska and loves family, life and personal rights.

Terrible pick as you don’t get Hillary’s by picking a fairly attractive 40-something lady (who looks like a MILF to me). She has the sexy librarian look with those weird glasses.
Anyhow, I think this seals McCain’s doom. The obvious line of attack is that it is preposterous for the oldest President ever to select a 44 year old woman with 5 children.
Despite her career she has responsibilities as a mother which make her wholly unqualified to serve as President of the United States.
That’s not sexism, it is reality. There are choices we all make in our lives. If you have 5 children, you should not be the laby-in-waiting for the most powerful position on planet earth.
A 50-something woman with no kids is a totally different ballgame.
What a completely bizarre selection.

Palin has a 4 month baby boy whom she would be abandoning!!!!!!!!!!!! you can’t raise an infant and take control of the white house at the same time

Roberta D, are you serious? Have you listened to Barack Obama? He has no experience, either, and he’s running for president, not VP!
I think Palin is a BRILLIANT choice. Absolutely brilliant. McCain is not a moron…

I can’t believe this post is still up.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
GAME *OVER*, OBAMATRONS!
ABC sucks!

Sean, about the baby comment: most people don’t seem to have a problem with celebrities having babies and then running off to bars and shaking their moneymakers while a team of nannies raises their kids! I think Sarah Palin is a bit more grounded than that…nice try, though.

I’m a lifetime member of the Republican party.John is a great American and patriot. I would of been more comfortable with him as V.P. instead of President. Picking Palin is a political move to ensure the woman vote. Don’t know much about her. I really think Romney would of been a better choice.
The problem with politics today is being President is the worse job in the world and most politicians don’t want the job and responsibilty. Let’s face it, even if you are a great President, at least 40% of Americans are against you. This is why incompetents like Obama get nominated and unknowns are being pulled out of the hat…
Republicans are going to lose if they don’t turn out in big numbers this election. Say what you want, the Democrats will be out there in full force and that will be the reason Obama will get in.

BREAK THE GLASS CEILING !!!
WOW … What a great pick!!! America should elect McCain & Palin for the Whitehouse in November,
for a return to wholesome American values.
No Wright, no Farrakahn, no Ayers, no Rezko,
no mean Michelle, NOBAMA!

GOP has done it. Shoved the nail in the dems coffin with this choice.
RIGHT ON PALIN!! We are cheering in the office right now over this news! INCREDIBLE. Absolutely INCREDIBLE NEWS.
Did that O guy give a speech last night? Can’t remember hahaha.
I love this. Today the GOP has won the race. YES!!

There is a big different BRAZOS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama’s children aren’t 4 months old with down syndrome

She is a MILE!

I’m definitely voting McCain, too! Barry-O’s big $10 million fiasco in Denver last night makes him look like nothing more than a money-blowing liberal idiot who plays right into the hands of celebrities. Please. It’s over, Obamabots.

Palin is connected to and is a player in BIG OIL (TransCanada Corp and Exxon Mobil), not to mention the whole . How long do you think she’ll be perceived as HAWT when people find out she’s married to a “dirty” Yup’ik Eskimo/American Indian?
I wonder if her husband’s gonna be at the convention? I think they’re just trying to shut her up about the bad oil politicians in Alaska by taking her out of the governorship/out of Alaska!
There’s no need to attack Palin.
The Repugs will do enough to hurt her themselves.
She’s great on the wedge issues, but the wedge issues are a bit in the background…keeping houses out of foreclosure is in the foreground. Figure that one out, you “Compassionate Conservatives” who made TONS of money selling bad (ninja) loans that broke the people, the banks and the US taxpayer!

ABC News gets it wrong – way wrong! Incredible how lack of professionalism permeates the mainstream news these days.

DublBogey wrote: “I cannot imagine a lightweight like Palin being a heartbeat away, especially when McCain would be 72 upon taking office. Also don’t forget he has had Cancer. Yikes, imagine her as Commander in Chief!”
You can’t be serious? What am I saying, you’re an O-bot you aren’t smart enought to have a sense of humor. Ok, so Palin, with 10 years of executive experience, 2 of those as Governor of a state that is as large as the continental US, isn’t ready to be CiC but the very very junior senator for Illinois, a man with 0 (that’s zero, zed, zip, none, nada) executive experience somehow is because he’s got what, 143 days in the Senate?
Notice anything here? There’s a mental disconnect required to be an Obama supporter. You have to get an Obatamy to think this man is qualified to do anything. Someone once said, “You know, I am a believer in…in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that…if I were seriously to consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate.” That person was Barak Obama.
In the experience departement Palin trumps Obama, hands down.

The liberals are already a bunch of blundering idiots…

There is a big different BRAZOS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama’s children aren’t 4 months old with down syndrome
how could she abandan her child?

your just a crazy redneck. people never liked britney for abandoning her child… thats why so many people fought against her in court

Jason it is about the person and what she has stood for, not the electoral count.

Sounds like a good choice. I’m so tired of these people who want presidents to pick running mates from “a state we need”. What kind of criteria is that???

Crazy is calling yourself a conservative and then voting for a liberal who happens to be in the Republican Party.

Miller,
When people look at her they will see she is a fighter for the people.

im not voting republican. im against death and destruction

uhhh….checkmate…uhhh

100,000 iraqi civilians killed. 11,000,000,000,000 dollars in dept. hatred from around the world. this is what the republicans have left us.

10 years of executive experience! She was mayor of a town with 5400 people! She probably was really good at dealing with traffic violations and the occasional rogue moose making it’s way into town.

Stephanie: I know moral rights.. My close friend has a child with down syndrome and she is there for her and puts her before her work. How dare you question ethics

How dare I question ethics? Your ethics or mine? Have you ever heard of a family? Oh, sorry…you are a liberal, I guess you haven’t. But I’m pretty sure that since her children have a FATHER he will be more than capable of caring for the baby while she is creating a better country for that baby to grow up in.

Foxnews.com has a live feed from Ohio.
no one is speaking right now…waiting for McCain and Palin to come out.

Ben Sez, “10 years of executive experience! She was mayor of a town with 5400 people! She probably was really good at dealing with traffic violations and the occasional rogue moose making it’s way into town.”
You know what is REALLY funny, Ben, old buddy. She is just the VP candidate and she has more experience than Democratic’s Presidential candidate. He is my senator. I know how despised he is outside of the Chicago machine.
BO’s biggest claim to fame in Illinois is making sure that babies that live through botched abortions still get killed. Quite a resume, eh?

RJP3,
you need to look a little deeper….she has kicked out corrupt people…she is for her state…it has oil…

Obama works with the corrupt people to advance his career….Palin cleans house and gets rid of them…love it!

ABC, way to try and get the eye off the ball…this just made you guys look even more stupid than normal. And Dems, this isn’t about the Hillary voters, this is about building the future of the Republican Party and tapping into the droves of REAL women who think for themselves and stand up for conservative ideas. Women who are intellectual and not the run-of-the-mill EMOTIONAL HIllary supporters…

John Mccain picked this VP bc he knew he wouldn’t have to pay her as much… (Mccain is for unequal pay/rights of women)

Sean – you have a right to your opinion. I was going to vote for Hillary. When she lost I was going to vote for Bob Barr just because I can’t stand Obama and I don’t like McCain. Now that McCain picked a woman VP – He’s got my vote!
Obama had a chance to pick Hillary and he didn’t – he picked a man! Too bad for him!

Palin will be a champion for special-needs children and is being put in a position to make massive changes to the way they live their lives in this country. Sean, you can spit at Palin all you want, but the fact of the matter is this: if her husband were the one taking a VP slot, you wouldn’t say a thing. She’s been the governor of a massive state, so I would imagine that she and her husband have had this arrangement worked out already and they don’t need our help. :-)

Palin is not only an attraction to women but also to men who thinks she’s hot. Palin is different, though…she’s brains and beauty….

Uh, Sean? Have you heard of John McCain? I’m pretty sure he has the same experience as Biden and please remember that Biden is the VP choice, not the presidential candidate. Just shows that Obama is nothing but a puppet in a pretty package.

and to be honest. im taking off work for a week and spending a good deal of money to go to ron paul’s huge rally in mineapolis next week. I am a diehard fan of nonintervention. I believe we should set examples for the rest of the world and not try to police it. The value of the republican party changed after this war.

crazy redneck calls us morons then tries to tell us where to go….

To read the comments here, you would almost start to believe that John McCain was leading in the polls.
The reality, of course, is that the Democrats have taken away the mantle of financial conservatism and of respect for the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Crippled by the failed Bush presidency, the current Republican party can make no argument save that Obama & Biden rhymes with Osama Bin Laden. Truly embarrassing. Now John McCain must stand on a stage with George W. Bush and condemn the policies that Bush stands for, in front of a crowd of the last remaining Bush voters.
Beyond the rhetoric, Republican party members talk of 15-point defeats. They are not wrong. Maybe if the Republican party one day excises those who resent individual freedom, true Americans would return to the party. Unfortunately, at the current time, they seem to continue to court the vote of those who would turn America into Iran.

She’s being investigated by the Alaska legislature for ordering the dismissal of Alaska’s public safety commissioner because he would not fire her former brother-in-law as a state trooper.
If true,it’ll be seen as another abuse of power.We don’t need another perceived crook.Especially a potential president whose resume is so short and thin.McCain has just forfeited his two major assets as a candidate:long experience in government and strong commander-in-chief credentials.Because McCain’s age means that, even more than usual, voters will be looking at Palin as a potential president as much as a potential vice president.McCain’s main criticism of Obama has been his “lack of experience,” but then he chooses a VP candidate who makes Obama look like a seasoned pro by comparison!He’ll pay a price on Election Day.What a terrible choice.

your a liar! this is what u said. i wont believe another word out of your mouth now.
“Sean…that is the most intelligent thing I’ve seen anyone say here. I’m truly sorry.”

With his advancing age McCain needed to pick somebody with the experience to be President should something happen to him, instead he picked somebody with all the experience needed to be First Lady.

Wow.. I should had known.. John McCain has reputation of picking beauty queens. Sarah Palin was Miss Alaska runner-up in 1984. I wonder how Cindy feels about Sarah since John like younger beauty queens. Cindy was a 22yr old beauty queen when she met McCain and McCain left his wife to marry Cindy.. I wonder how Todd (Sarah husband) feels having his wife around a man with the sordid reputation of John McCain.
http://joeland7.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/mccain-lied-about-his-divorce-and-remarriage

Adelyn,
Empathize with what? Being investigated by the Alaska legislature?
Most women I know believe in due process and abhore abuse of power.
And,your statement “It might just help get the vote even more!”is foolish wishful thinking.Forgive me if the language is too harsh.

It’s no surprise that ABC News, aka the
disgrace to journalism missed this
story! Palin is the VP pick, Duh!

Still, no Dem has taken me up on my challenge to answer this question affirmatively:
Barack Obama has more executive leadership experience than Sarah Palin.
[]Yes
[]No
I am left to conclude that no one will answer “yes” because, unless they are running for or holding public office, even Dems are unwilling to flat-out lie. Instead, they prefer to deflect and deceive, which is more slick and ultimately more effective.

Nah nah nah, nah, nah nah nah nah — Hey Barrack…GOODBYE!

You almost have to feel sorry for Hillary, too — having to watch the first female POTUS give a knockout speech!

Wahahahahahaha!!! I LOVE this! McCain/Palin 08!

How about this question:
John McCain has more executive leadership experience than Sarah Palin.
[]Yes
[]No

“I was going to vote for Hillary. When she lost I was going to vote for Bob Barr just because I can’t stand Obama and I don’t like McCain. Now that McCain picked a woman VP – He’s got my vote!”
Voting for McCain based on the fact he picked a women as his VP is a slap in Hillarys face. That’s exactly the kind of thing Hillary stood against.
Obama picked someone who actually knows what a VP does and actually knows how to deal with a country and foreign affairs.. not a town with a population of under 10,000.

What is it about these women and state troopers?

Do she realize she is just a token. The republican had other font runners. McCain saw how succesful Obama DNC went, so he deciced he need to go another route to get more voters. SMART MOVE. He still have the same ideals as the last president we had for the last 8 years. Do we want to go through 4 more or so years. We need a new look on the World. We have so many problems in this world. What do you think Mccain is going to do to get us out. She is only VP not President. There is only so much input she has.

OOPS! MAJOR BLUNDER by Kate McCarthy

Wow he picked the governor of the largest state in the United States. That’s pretty smart. Even though Alaska’s population isn’t as large as some other states, the logistics in Alaska are huge. The demands of running this state would have prepared her to be president of the lower 48.

duhhhh… see woman on television with mccain… I VOTE FOR WOMAN AND MCCAIN BECAUSE I AM WOMAN!!! republicans figure out how my brain work!

Crap, I hope she’s not at the fair…we’re going tomorrow! Sarah needs to take a step back, realize she’s WAY out of her league, and stick closer to home. I was sad to see her in the Governor’s mansion, but she truly has got no place in the White House!

Hey Larry, you said, “How about this question:
John McCain has more executive leadership experience than Sarah Palin.
[]Yes
[]No”
I’m willing to be intellectually honest here and say “NO”. McCain has executive leadership experience, however, as a Navy Captain who commanded the 174th Attack Squadron and was Director of the Navy Senate Liaison Office. But, in truth, those probably don’t add up to governor of a state.
So, Larry, here’s the real question — are you intellectually honest enough to answer it truthfully?
How about this question:
John McCain has more executive leadership experience than Barack Obama.
[]Yes
[]No

With the stench coming from Alaskan politics I am surprised McCain would risk it.

Dave, my comment was intended to make the point that none of the candidates, for either president or vice president, can make a case that they are qualified on the basis of “executive leadership experience” – it’s not even close for any of them. Everyone will have to make their own judgment about how the experience they do have stacks up.

Hey great scoop ABC. Keep up the splendid sleuthing.

Brazos Dave, I am sorry my computer skills are not up to your satisfaction. I am a disabled women living in a wheelchair for 8 years with one hand. I am not on here to please you or anyone else. All the facts I stated are correct. You might not be going through some of them, so (coma comes before but/so) You are disconnected to what is going on. Watch the news sometimes or talk to a neighbor or friend not maybe in your tax bracket and you will understand somethings a little better about what is going on.

Crazy_Redneck you have no right to be talking about comprehension. When the first debate comes I will be victorious and you will see these chumps are exactly what we need. Maybe you will not because by your name I think you see one color.

name spelling correction

Don’t recall who posted the list of all the things wrong with the country, too lazy to scroll up. But I can guarantee that the number one issue causing all the trouble is the high gas prices. It affects every facet of our lives.
And just WHO is responsible for the high gas prices? McBush? McCaim? Palin? FIX News? NO!!!
It’s the democrats in congress and the senate. It’s Harry NoReide. It’s Queen Nancy. They must make sure that the economy is stalled.
Elect more democrats. We need the higher gas prices.

In light of ‘old shcool’ scare tactics: Any possibility that Ms. Sarah Palin may become our President is just a possibility.
It is NOT a statistical probability that Palin might be sworn in as a U. S. President within the next term.
The biased media are making far too much over Palin becoming our next President. Give it a rest.
Palin has taken on political corruption, and not just on the other side of the isle! The fact that Palin is still politically alive and well as a viable Vice Presidential candidate speaks as to why she is respected on both sides of the isle. She has an 80% approval rating!
Fair minded Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike should not allow Palin’s to be ‘dissed’ by haters. And, though it may not mean much to some people, Palin did it all while raising 5 children.
Sarah Palin is NOT an old school conservative. Palin is a social conservative with the vision, will, and energy to conduct non-partisan politics.

After reading this blog, many, many, many of the people here scare the heck out of me!
ANYONE who is excited about a political nominee as potential VP of the U.S., who is seeking to COMPLETELY outlaw a woman’s imminent domain over her reproductive choices; a woman who said, and was chronicled in a 2006 Anchorage Daily News article as saying…”I’m in favor of the Bridge to NOWHERE;” yet, stated on the national stage TODAY, that she said “thanks but no thanks to that bridge to nowhere;” a woman who FIRED the state’s public safety director because he ALLEGEDLY stopped her from dismissing a state trooper, who was once married to her sister, which is also now under investigation; a person who “DOES NOT believe Global Warming is man made;” a woman who said she could care less about the extinction of polar bears, thus, the melting of the polar ice caps; a woman who has absolutely NO foreign policy experience; and is on the record as saying she pays little attention to the Iraq war; and the list goes on and on…..
Those of you excited, and/or in favor of Sarah Palin as the Vice President of this country are SMOKING CRACK!
Whoo Weeeeee….Too bad that bridge to nowehere wasn’t built because I’d like to see those of you in favor of a McCain/Phalin ticket cross that bridge and NEVER COME BACK!
No wonder this country, and the entire world for that matter is literally doomed!

My god why in the world would McCain pick Palin, now im not saying this as a democrat or republican because im an independent, this actually makes me wanna vote for Obama even more because what if McCain was the president and then he dies from cancer, then the president would be a woman who is from alaska with only 10,000 people. This in my view as and independent is so reckless, John McCain has just FAILED his first decision as a nominee as president, at LEAST Obama who i know doesn’t have alot of experience has the sense to pick Joe Biden a 67 year old senator with extensive national security record. Now i know whoevers reading this will go well McCains reckless or Obamas inexperienced, but we have to look at the big picture here John McCain is 72 years old he has had cancer 4 times and takes so many pills just to get through the day and then u have Obama who has been a senator of illinois is a black man and does have the support of hillary voters. But you have to admit both of these men could die in 2009, and what McCain has done with his Vp choice is so RECKLESS that it just scares me not as a dem or rep or even independent but as an American. McCain has just put the country maybe the world in danger all because he picked Palin a woman from alaska who really is not ready for not even a senators seat, i would rather have another 4 years of bush and cheney than McCain and Palin, this is just NOT FUNNY ANYMORE do the right thing Americans vote for Obama and biden they give us a better shot at americas future, but McCain and Palin is just another 9/11 day i don’t want that please do the right thing.

The Republican Party has been high-jacked by the religious right as McCain’s selection of Palin proves. I thought McCain might bring some sanity to back to the party but it turns out experience does count and he is following the George Bush/Carl Rove play book of appealing to the “Gun tottin, God fearin” mob with his choice of Sarah Palin. The least you can say for George Bush is that he picked Cheney, whatever you may think of him, he is no light weight. Another trait about McCain that makes me very uncomfortable is his quick shoot from the hip decision making process. His selection of Palin seems to be a perfect example of this. This seems very similar to George W. Bush’s decision making methodology which landed us in $3 Trillion and counting war without end. And I’m not a democrat. I voted for Bush the first go around. But McCain just doesn’t seem to have the necessary personality traits to be an effective executive. He lost my potential vote for good with his selection of Palin.

This just in: Well, it’s official. The Democratic National Committee has ceased to exist. That’s right, on 09-11-08, the 7th anniversary of the 09-11-01 attacks, the DNC for lack of a better analogy, has been consigned to the dustbin of history. Wherein, it has joined such notables as the former Soviet Union, mood rings, and disco. So long DNC, it’s been real. America needs a two-party system, but the DNC could run on fumes for only so long. It’s up to Barack Obama to restructure the platform. And, perhaps he’s the man for the job. Now the DNC had sputtered along nursing its panoply of grievances, eye poking, finger pointing, hair pulling, and nail biting from which it garnered a more than substantial income. But shortly after 09-11-01, the DNC also collapsed into a pile of smoke & rubble. Did most Democrats / Liberals truly have nothing in common with, and dislike the very people they relied on to get them elected? D’oh! What happened and why, will no doubt be fodder for more practiced wits than my own; but one thing’s certain: the DNC is done, the Democratic Party is over. Drill, Baby, Drill: http://theseedsof9-11.com

phalin and mc cain can not fool me ..mC cAIN IS JUST A REPLICA OF gEORGE bUSH AND SO OUR CHILREN,WIVES AND HUSBANDS WILL KEEP ON DYING IN IRAG.and for what / To satisfy Bush’s ego?
