It's Official...IT'S PALIN

[OrlandoMike]

The one thing that I think will hurt this decision is her lack of national experience.

Let's face it, she will be one heartbeat away from Commander in Chief.

And McCain does turn 77 today!

What a guy, John McCain. He uses women.

He marries Cindy, after dumping his first wife, for her connections and resources to get him into politics.

Now he gives the nod for VP to unknown Gov. Sarah Palin, he does this only to court the women's vote.

Use your heads ladies, John McCain is nothing but a user.

I'll be using my head and my vote when I pick the McCain/Palin ticket!

She has been Gov. for less than 2 years, and today McCain turns 72. This choice scares me, talk about inexperience!! I guess it just shows how little McCain has to offer that he would make a "surprise choice".

Hark! Doest my ears hear what the GOP has been saying about Obama reverberated? I'd rather have an inexperienced VP than President.

I think it is a good choice.

I believe it's 72

The debate between Sen. Biden and Ann Qualye ... ahem...excuse me, Gov. Palin, will be very interesting.

She can Learn to be Vice President faster than Obama can learn to be President. Keep talking about inexperience....your ticket is top-heavy in that department.

And Barack Obama isn't. Geez!

And Barack Obama isn't. Geez!

Explain this one to me...

 

[SydneyBristow]

She's staunchley pro-life.

Are you?

Or just voting for McCain because he has a woman on the ticket?

I'm a former Democrat, now Independent who's voting for McCain/Palin. Although I use to pro-choice, I'm now pro-life.

I think John McCain just won the presidency.

Ditto! McCain ~ Palin have my vote!! History in the making!

 

[xoprincessmomxo]

I believe it's 72

I thought it was 120?

This is what I fear will happen....

Me too ... I just read her positions on issues that matter to me, I would not vote for her. She may be a woman on his ticket, but wicked conservative and very against personal rights, no thank you.

Um, no, but that's a good try

Well, a quick survey of major news sites seems to point to McCain's choice of Palin as having grabbed the spotlight by a large percentage. NYT, WaPo, CNN.... It's "Palin"

I hope that's not the only reason for your vote.

I am sure the four years she served as a City Council member will serve her well in the White House.

And Obama's years as a "community organizer" are what we need in the White House.

Some of you OS crack me up.

I love the smell of despair in the morning.

 

[DC7800]

I was secretly hoping for Fred Thompson, though I didn't really think there was any chance of that. I must admit I know absolutely nothing about Palin; Hopefully she is a strong choice by McCain, and I fully expect her to be the first female Vice-President come January.

 

[Laugh O. Grams]

Are you serious -- she has more LEADERSHIP experience than Obama.

The pick is a definite all or nothing for ol' Maverick...

Many right wing pundits have excoriated her for her windfall profits tax on Alaskan oil companies that redistributed wealth to the citizens of Alaska as a reason against Obama's windfall profits taxes. I don't know why this pick is so exiting. Once fiscal conservatives get to know her, I have a feeling a number of the GOP faithful might not be so enchanted...

See, that's just rude and disrespectful. Not the "higher road" that the left always claims to take.

Yes, let us... OBAMA!!!

So far she has about SIX years "running" something. OBAMA? ZERO.

I hope that's not the only reason for your vote.

What would be wrong with basing one's vote on that?
