So why does everyone hate Palin?

The haters here were all like "oh men just like her cause she's hot" then "she's not even that pretty" yet they had nothing substantial to say about the fact other than that.

^^^ This is pathetic.

And now we know why Obama was elected President.

"Im mad at Bush and want to 'make history'".

Too many people fail to realize this isn't a god damned Prom King vote.

Or maybe agreed with Obama's policies more than McCain's? Nah, that could not be it....

I seem to have misplaced all my clippings where the press reported on the personal destruction of the children of Democratic candidates. Would you be willing to share yours with me? Thanks so much.

With the type of attitude demonstrated in Americanwoman's post?

I don't think so bro, and neither do you.

Somehow, I don't think a whole lot of people voted against McCain because they did not like Palin.

No, they voted FOR Obama because "Bush is bad" and "I want to make history".

The attitude demonstrated in Americanwoman's post shows that the people are just as shallow as those voting for prom king/queen.

People who take appearances into consideration over actually knowing what is going on.

You are greatly oversimplifying things. For example, I voted for Obama cuz he was more in line with my beliefs than McCain was. I don't think I was the exception. It might make you feel better to believe that, but I doubt it is true.

speaking of what if questions.. what if somehow she and McCain had won.. would she be stepping down as VP? a lot of unfilled blanks here.. I saw her press conference, it did not answer much.

Nahh what slim chance she had at a viable run for 2012 just evaporated

I beleive it was mentioned that it was too much for her family to handle. I completely agree with this post. What would have happened if McCain actually HAD been elected? Or if after they won the election and something happened to McCain, what would she have done then? I feel bad for the people of Alaska. They are being left inthe lurch. I do hope the Lt. Gov. can put his state back together again.

I can't imagine Palin attempting to run in 2012 after stating that being Gov. was too much for her family to handle. Goodness, what would being President do to them?

I do wish her well in the future and hope she gets her family and her priorities back in order.

"We" as in members of DP obviously take up discussing Politics as a hobby. So more often than not we choose to be informed when we go to the polls.
