I'm extremely excited about her, I think she will re energize the republican party more than McCain.

Do you want her to be a president, McCain is 72 years old, lets say something happens.. you want this school teacher to run the country?

Considering she has more experience than BO....you should be happy.

She was a mayor of 5,000 people and a governor for 20 months only. She is a governor of 670,000 people. NYC has 10x more than that, even mayors of NYC are 10x more qualified.

Obama has 8 years STATE senate experience and 3 years of US Senate

State Senate where most of his votes were recorded as here. And 3 years where he was MIA for the past 18 months.

Obama has slightly more experiance, but not a whole hell of a lot more.

Combine that with the whole "being in the Senate is not experience running anything, not even a town of 5k".

Not sure why people think just because a person is a Senator they are experienced and ready to run a country.

You can't be serious. Well, actually I believe you are....which is pathetic.

While I am comparing, Obama is not going to be the one debating her. It is Biden with 15x more experience than her. So Biden VS this school teacher...

What's a "school cheaper"?

And who says Biden is a great debater? He's a windbag that loves to hear his own voice. Of course, that's part of the reason Obama chose him.
 
Damn like I said, if that 72 year old McCain dies, you going to have a 44 year old school teacher/cheerleader running this country.

Hillary is 10x greater than this woman... Hillary can stump her into the ground so deep she won't be able to get out ever.

all you people talking about Hillary voters have NO CLUE

if this move picks up some Hillary voters, great, but that is at best a tertiary concern

McCain's main problem isn't democrats, it's republicans

there are a ton of conservatives who never cared for McCain, called him a RINO and wished he would switch parties

McCain NEEDS these people to not just be reluctant, lesser-of-two-evils supporters, but to be excited, active contributors giving of their time and money

Palin is a choice that can excite his conservative base and get them out on the battlelines

Romeny, not so much

this is all about ENERGIZING HIS BASE

If there is one thing that women hate more than men who do not share their views, it is other women who do not share their views. So, if any of you have any hopes and dreams of democratic women jumping ship here then get over it. That goes double for current female Hilary supporters. Female democrats are often very scornful towards republican women and you know what they say about a woman's scorn...

Most women I know do not think like men when it comes to their vote.

So McCain should have chosen Brad Pitt, is what you're saying? 😛

Not exactly... :roll:

I know it hurts you to admit that even Palin has more executive experience and experience actually running something than Biden....but you don't have to go so far as saying she's going to school him yet.

Wouldn't happen. Palin packs heat, but wouldn't need it to slap Hillary into next week in a bout of fisticuffs. 😉

Uhhh, no... as has been pointed out several times in this thread, Palin does more than bring in a few dissapointed Hillary Clinton supporters.

She is quite conservative on numerous issues, which serves to rally a base that has been fairly tepid in its support for McCain. If she can help solidify the conservative wing of the Republican Party, Obama will be in a world of hurt as he is currently only getting 78% support from his party in polling and is currently losing the independent vote to McCain as well.

She solidifies the GOP base behind the ticket.
She brings strength in domestic issues. A weakness of McCain.

Put it this way, Obama should theoretically be blowing McCain out of the water right now, but day to day tracking polls them in a dead heat.

palin:

- governor of a state with 665,000 people (not including polar bears or caribous)

obama:
- grew up mixed black
- first black president of the harvard law review
- senator of a state with 12.8 million people

word to that.

Obama's camp needs to uh check their judgement meter after this morning. Their response to Palin being selected as McCains VP was a HUGE and SERIOUS GAFFE on their part.
 
Hard to see how this helps McCain's campaign. Maybe it motivates his base a bit, but his ticket is now 2 west coast conservatives against 2 east coast liberals. And Hillary supporters aren't going to jump to McCain just because he put a token woman on the ticket, that's not how women operate politically.

Oil.

Holy crap give us some proof. She is an Alaskan governor that actually went head to head with oil companies.

Hilarious. A woman who was able to run for Governor and win, and now enjoys an astronomically high job approval rating from her constituents (higher than Barack Obama's, or Bill Clinton's approval rating ever were)-- all without having to ride on her husband's coattails-- is being dismissed as a "school teacher/chearleader"?

Seriously, what is it with all of the misogynist Obama supporters today?
 
You've got to laugh at the Obama fans who defended Obama's lack of experience but are the 1st to point to Palin's inexperience. Personally I don't have a problem with it as I doubt there is any job which really offers practical experience to prepare one for President.
I did a lot of reading about Palin when her name 1st came up as a possible VP and like most of what I read. She hasn't been put under the microscope yet so I'll reserve any final judgment until then but I think she was the best pick out of the list of names kicked around for the last 2 months.

I'm willing to bet if the dems can't come up with any better attacks then the crap displayed so far in this topic, the McCain/Palin ticket may win the race.
Think about how many women voters will be pushed to vote for McCain/Palin if they hear the B.S. attacks against Palin so far, which amount to little more than she should have stayed home and raised her kids.
