Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Is McCain's VP Pick

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

I think Sarah Palin was a pretty smart pick for McCain.

That is all

Like it or not, Palin will pick up some women voters that McCain maybe didn't have before. You can argue against it or say it's stupid all you want, but his VP choice will gain votes from this decision.

Yup, I believe this is true. The question is how many and will it be enough? We'll see.

I'm a little puzzled at how I can make this choice when I don't agree with McCain's policy on pro-life but I feel that McCain and Palin are an overall better match than their competitors.

How did I go from being a liberal Democrat to a moderate Republican in 10 years?

Interesting... would have never pegged you a Republican...

But, what about all the civil rights and privacy violations allowed by this administration? As well, as the human rights violations in Guatanamo and the specific targeting of Middle Easterners and those of Middle Eastern descent and Muslims? And the Iraqi War?

Please don't think i'm picking on you, O... just curious for the sake of discussion is all...

What is it specifically that gives you this impression? To me he just sounds like any other politician, really. And believe me, I'd be the first to be turned off by a politician making me feel like I was in church. I probably won't be voting for Obama, but for other reasons. I'm just curious about this comparison to JC that keeps getting made and wonder if it's not just something that is perceived because it keeps getting repeated by conservatives.

Yeah, i don't get the Church references either...

Well, she's hotter than Ann Coulter. Just as crazy and corrupt, apparently.

Good pic

amazing how quick the left firing squad lines up to shoot at the new targets, eh?

I had been planning to do "write-in" vote (meaning writing in candidates of my own choosing--my original list did not include either 0blahma or McCain, bud DID include at least one ineligible as a commentary on the candidate-choice quality). I'm now going to vote for McCain.

At least McCain is a moderate republican.

His positions used to be moderate. But since he has been campaigning for president, his positions have moved to the right to satisfy the more conservative elements in the party.

He still manages to keep the maverick/moderate image. But its become all image and no substance. I guess the democrats haven't been able to dig into enough to dispel that image.

And Obama used to be present liberal. Now he's moved center.

Just a few days ago:

Governor Palin: "As for that VP talk all the time, I still can't answer that question until someone answers for me - what is it exactly that a VP does every day? I'm used to being very productive and working real hard..."

At 2:50

Valid question. Gore was seen all the time. Cheney, never.
