Let me know if you find out if she has bisexual tendencies. It may make me vote for McCain if she does.

I certainly hope there is more focus on McCain.

I'm so relieved he didn't pick Pawlenty. He was just too boring of a pick. It would have done nothing for the ticket.

What this clearly shows is that McCain is no misogynist. Racism and misogyny are still alive and well in this country. Women continue to make less then men and in some industries still looked down on as second class citizens. My mother experienced this as an engineer, a male dominated industry.

Obama made a huge blunder by not picking Hillary as VP. Together they would have been unstoppable. Whether it was Obama's decision or Hillary's (most vp's don't become president) remains unclear but such a mistake will not go unpunished

Will this become the longest thread in DP history? Inquiring minds want to know...

Palin is an executive, the CHIEF EXECUTIVE of the State of Alaska.

That is a close approximation of the job of POTUS.

As a Governor she also serves as Commander in Chief of the Alaska state National Guard. Something Obama nor Biden, nor even McCain has ever experienced.

A Senator's experience is less applicable to the job of POTUS than a Governor's.

I look at the bottom of this thread and see all the people looking at it right now.

BUZZ!!!

McCain's camp now has something it really has never had this entire election season. I am sure her stances on the issues will be hammered out by the media. But based on what I know of her(which admittedly isn't alot), she should be exciting enough for the conservative base to give them a reason to vote for McCain. And thats really all he needs.

It remains to be seen how long this buzz will last, but I am sure the left wing bloggers are scrambling to find any amount of dirt on her as we speak. They probably had stuff lined up on Romney and Pawlenty, ready to go. It also breaks up the image of the Republicans being the party of old white men. Maybe now it will just be labeled as the white persons party.

I'm still not convinced to vote for McCain myself, since its still McCain. But I consider it a good, albeit risky pick. But it could pay off huge.

Didn't she compliment Hillary?


Even her little girl knows more about respecting the flag than Obama.
