Re: McCain Chooses Female Running Mate!
Maybe Sarah will get Nancy P in a head lock and make her say "Uncle"
 Well, it seems to me that this could be a very bold and smart move. I bet Hillary is pissed because she won't be the first female VP or P

I'll bet Obama and Biden are picking up their jock strap about now. Boy, he played it right though with the other names that were leaking out there. If Obama had an inclination, he would have had to have gone with Hilary. This is getting more and more interesting!! |

I think we might have a pretty good shot now.

Re: McCain Chooses Female Running Mate!
Up until today I was pretty sure that Obama was going to run away with this election. This has to be the best possible pick that McCain could have made.
I love this woman already. |

McCain's congratulatory ad, the mystery build up to the VP pick and then picking Palin has sure taken the wind out of the Dem's convention sails... I'd like to know who the real strategist is.

Re: McCain Chooses Female Running Mate!
Let the "wahhh-wahhhing" begin!
Now, the Obama camp is ALREADY discrediting her because she was a "small town" mayor. Let the small towns folks speak up now. I don't even live in a town, I'm a "bitter gun owner," life time NRA member, and Obama....I vote every time too with the 2nd amendment my primary reason I vote for who I do, everything comes second! Maybe that's why it's the "2nd Amendment," every other issue comes "2nd!"  |

Re: McCain Chooses Female Running Mate!
I was listening to the radio and upon being told the Republican ticket VP choice, a Democratic writer's response was basically, "Palin?! That's crazy! She's... you know... uh.. just not a good choice. She... um, if McCain... that's just crazy."
Sounds like they either don't know who she is or haven't formulated an attack yet. Quite the surprise "dark horse" candidate. Sorry, I don't know who was speaking in the interview referenced above.

Re: McCain Chooses Female Running Mate!
It brought the base back by bringing a conservative on board. The democrats are trying to say now that picking her takes the inexperience issue off the table. Right, wishful thinking. I saw one of Obama's campaign operatives start talking about her inexperience and the Fox commentator turned the tables and then the operative started calling her 4 more years of Bush. To quote a movie they can't handle the truth. I can't wait to see her debate Biden.

Re: McCain Chooses Female Running Mate!
Well I am certainly impressed. Not only an exceptionally talented lady but also not afraid to get in and mix it up with the bad guys. She has an 85+ approval in her home state of Alaska. She comes from working parents and yes she is a hunter has been all her life. Stated she used to get up at three A.M to go Moose hunting her daddy
. This Life, well actually I am an Endowment member with the NRA is very happy with the "Dark Horse Candidate".Yea I would imagine that Billary is hopping mad. Foreign Affairs being one of her short comings?? Where in the he_ _ did Obama get any foreign affairs training, Oh yea when he was in his school that we don't hear about. She supposedly took on big oil in Alaska and won and is for drilling here,NOW! Yep good pick as far as I am concerned. catfish
