Apart from the task of introducing the most remote governor in the union, I don’t think the Palin pick will draw women away.

The only thing guaranteed to p*ss off a woman more than ignoring her (Obama) is patronizing her.

There were a lot of good options. I don’t see Palin as one of them.

Just used the Google(tm) Search Engine to find out more about Ms. Palin, and hit the link for the Wikipedia article. Imagine my surprise at this:

She is the Republican vice presidential candidate for the November 2008 election.

Someone didn’t waste time…..

Does anybody really think she’ll be able to win a debate against Biden?

Does anybody really think she has the requisite educational background — a journalism degree from University of Idaho???

Does anybody really think she’s a credible person to deal with Iran? China? Russia?

How is McCain going to argue that Obama lacks the experience to deal with all of these international threats when his own VP, a heartbeat away from the presidency, has absolutely NO foreign policy experience?

McCain just lost the election.

Sarah Palin is Great & a Woman & Conservative

How is McCain going to make the argument now that Obama is too inexperienced to be president when his own VP nominee — the person a heartbeat away from the presidency — hails from the most obscure state in the union and has ZERO foreign policy experience???

McCain just lost the election with this silly choice.

I think she is a great choice! Will be updating my blog entry when more infor comes in.

become a master at fake-outs.

I just had linch with hubby and talked through this.

Sarah Palin makes so much sense on so many levels.

1. Obama/dems can’t say sh*t about her inexperience and have any credibility with the middle.

2. While Biden shows us Obama’s weaknesses, Palin pacifies those of us that are hacked at McCain about ANWR and immigration. She is tough and obviously persuasive, so let’s hope you nudges McCain our way instead of Congress nudging him across the aisle.

3. She is a mother of 5 children, one that is handicapped. Who better to champion the pro-life cause.

4. Sarah Palin is young, new and fresh to the political scene. She loses NOTHING if McCain does not win. Her future isn’t tarnished one bit. We can not say the same for Mitt or Pawlenty.

5. Energy is a winning issue for us and she is the perfect face to put on that issue.

I must admit I was bummed last night when I went to bed. Pawlenty is a good man, but I just wasn’t excited about him on the ticket. Mitt would have been fun to watch against Biden, but sure would not have helped dampen the “elitist” brand.

Just heard a report on the radio that she is not in Ohio. We’ll see.

is unveiling a quarter in Alaska with fireworks or something.

I’m sure Sarah Palin is a terrific person. But this should have been a resume pick, not an affirmative action pick.

I guess what McCain is saying here is experience and qualifications don’t really matter? It’s all politics?

A heartbeat away should have been the best person, not the best pander.

I hope, if this report is true, Palin immediately points out she has more executive experience that her opponents and running mates combined, and then eludes to Obama’s pious “we can agree to disagree” about abortion and say as a pro-lifer she respects his position.

As for overall experience, I don’t think that is a road the Dems want to travel given their standardbearer has zero, nada, zilch, unless a “community organizer” carries a larger job description that it would indicate.

DANIELLE QUAYLE. You can quote me on it.

I know everyone is fainting with joy over the idea of a groundbreaking pick, but after all my years in advertising and marketing, I can tell you one thing has always been true:

People will complain all day about getting the same old thing, but given the chance to try something different, 99 times out of 100 they will STICK WITH WHAT THEY KNOW.

People say they want more choice on a McDonald’s menu, so they spend millions to develop options that no one eats. They go there for the burgers, protestations notwithstanding.

People, in short, are full of crap. Taking their hue and cry at face value is a sure recipe for failure, and our own big Mac just put the Arch Deluxe on the ticket.

The woman is a lightweight. Positions mean nothing without a resume (unless you’re Obama, of course). And she’s from a red state, to boot – Pawlenty could have given him MN. Mitt could have given him MI. Either could have tipped the balance.

McCain will regret this decision, if this is how it really goes down this morning. I hope I’m wrong. I really do.

Good job John McCain.

I looooooove this pick.

How can the Obama camp possibly criticize her experience when she has more executive experience than Obama?

Friggin brilliant!

Who is running the McCain Camp.
I am a Huge Romney Supporter.
I would have voted for Obama had the pick been Huckabee. I would have consider voting for Obama if the pick had been Pawlenty (Huckabee lite).

However This is a great pick, and now I am supporting the McCain/Palin ticket. Brilliant move. Brilliantly done.

Now, I can only hope there is a position for Romney in the McCain administration.

And lets.

Drill, Drill, Drill.

I’ve been hoping for Palin for some time.

Yippeee..

(1) A true conservative
(2) a reformer
(3) Washington outsider
(4) a Woman….

yippee, yippee, yippee…..

It’s as though… no. Nobody ever is such a waste of a human life, that they have nothing better to do than to come onto a website and pretend to be a Republican and bash the pick.

That’s just so laughably horrible to be true.

for the MSM to come out with the “she’s too pretty”, or “wow, five kids…does she have time to be VP?”, or “Biden will have his way with her”, or some other such blatantly sexist comments. All but the unshaven, unwashed, far-left loon feminazi’s will come unglued.

C’mon, you KNOW it’s just a matter of time.

Damnit, just when you think we’ve finally learned our lesson, our nominee does something stupid like this. To paraphrase the she-clinton, No way, No How, No Woman in the White House. What happens if he kicks the bucket!?! PMS and foreign policy don’t go together.
