jallman's a source. He mentioned her a while ago as a good pick.

Here is a link from the headline on CNN...

Minnesota governor told he isn't McCain's VP pick, sources say - CNN.com

I know she is firmly Pro-Life and against same sex marriage, though she is against any discrimination of same-sex couples (hypocrisy?).

Thanks. Hopefully he'll stop by and comment, since he has first hand experience with her as Alaska's governor, it will be interesting to note what he thinks.

Kinda makes all the GOP criticism of Obama "not ready to lead" pale.

First term Governor....no other experience.


Looks like McCain decided to attempt to pander to female voters hoping that maybe some of Hillary's supporters will turn to him. Good luck!!!

Only problem is the only thing Palin has in common with Clinton's female voters is that they are both female. It could work though, depending on the ignorance of Clinton's female base.

It will be interesting to see how this develops. She is currently under investigation for ethical violations. Wouldn't that just be apropos for the GOP

Sarah Palin, 44, Governor of Alaska, has some controversies attached. There is a controversy over her ex brother-in-law, Mike Wooten. Mike Wooten and Sarah Palin’s sister divorced. Mike Wooten worked as a state trooper.


The legislative panel have a $100,000 budget to investigate if Sarah Palin fired Alaska’s Public Safety Commissioner because he refused to fire Mike Wooten. Sarah Palin has denied her involvement. Palin denied having her hand in her husband, Todd Palin, dialing Wooten’s bosses. Palin’s administrative staff also made many calls to Wooten’s superiors. When questioned,

The Palins alleged that Mike Wooton drank beer in his patrol car, and fired a Taser at his step son, age 11. Mike Wooton was accused of threatening the safety of the Sarah Palin’s father.

This was smart. The option of voting to get a woman in the White House is still on the table for those who are voting on their candidate for their skin color or gender. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson? Are these type fellows voting for Obama because he is the right politician for the job or because he is black? There's no reason to think that females won't vote for Palin because she is female.

I agree....smart....but clearly shows that McCain continues to pander for votes....like he has been doing since the primaries. McCain sees a political opportunity and takes it. Not the type of politician that I want running my country.

This changes everything.

The GOP shows once again they know how to win elections.

Perfect timing. Perfectly kept a secret. Major surprise.

Disaffected Hillary voters now have that much more reason to vote for McCain.

Sarah Palin for President 2012!
