Guys I am not trying to stir the pot "too" much, but what was McCain thinking!!! The V.P. selection is a JOKE. I have enjoyed the right's attempted spin, but let's call a spade a spade. Sara is NOT V.P. material. First off she's way too hot. Second she comes from absolutely nowhere (Alaska is a genuine frontier). Finally, I'd say the female as a V.P. is a clear dig at getting the Hillary folks (such very Very poor judgment imho).
I have been an Obama man from well before the primary, but John just made this an even easier victory for the Dems that it was already. I do like the cover of the latest Rolling Stones mag.
" How George Bush Killed the Republican Party" . Boy did he.

Just about everyone I've spoken with on the issue disagrees with you. Palin makes McCain a shoo-in. I'm confident he would of won over Obama anyway.
FYI, I'm an independent, I'm looking at this with unbiased eyes.
McCain is now cool and edgy because of his VP pick.
Palin is a tough cookie, life time NRA carrying member, she also recently gave birth to a child with down syndrome which will win over loads of women.
And as you noted, she's not bad on the eyes, she's exactly what McCain needed to fight against, what's his name.....oh yeah, Obama.
Yup, were looking at our next President and V.P.

Palin is better qualified to be President due to her actual executive experience than Obama. Sorry, but she is an excellent choice.

Yup, I'm thinking McCain is a sure bet now. After all Obama has VERY little experience even being in politics. I heard a number something like 143 days as a senator. And that qualifies him for the chief commander position? I think not.
I'm not a McCain fan either. Just for the record. I too am more of an independent. Hell I voted for Perot when he had his chance. I think he was the only independent to come close.

Anyone that says Palin is not qualified to be VP really, really needs to check her experience to Obama's as President.
Palin is far more qualified to be a VICE President than Obama is to being a PRESIDENT. Their experiences are actually on par with each other. Palin more executive experience (see below from Wikipedia - better than most news outlets, let me tell you). Obama only has 3 years in the Senate and almost all of it he has been campaigning to be PRESIDENT. Talk about no experience. Obama might have more "Big City" experience back in Chicago, but when that experience includes getting favors from a criminal that specializes in buying politicians (read Tony Rezco that bought the side lot of Obama's house that Obama couldn't afford at the time), or Obama's close relationships with quality people like bigoted-America haters (read his Pastor) and domestic terrorists (read his buddy, Weatherman Bill Ayers). Remember, Obama did not distance himself from those two until he HAD to for political reasons. - don't buy the excuses and denials from politicians for voluntary relationships they had when the cameras were off.
I'll take Sarah Palin's small town and middle America understanding that comes with being froma small town, having 5 kids, and normal education in Idaho. Obama has been running his Harvard educated, Chicago politician, mouth off about understanding the needs of middle Americans for months. Now there is acutally a candidate that does understand in the campaign.
The hypocrisy of the Left to have ANY smack talk about Palin's experience when they are putting up Super Noob Obama is pathetic at best. Even Obama tried to backtrack his own campaign's press release by saying "...campaigns can have hair triggers...hehehe." What a putz. With elitist pricks for a staff.
Now, let's talk about unqualified Democrats that have been Presidents. Bill Clinton made a joke/comment during his speech at the convention. He said the Republicans questioned his foreign policy qualifications during Clinton's first campaign. He said it in a way, and with an expression that screamed "...and look how wrong they were."
However, let's look at the last 2 Democrat presidents and their foreign policy accomplishments:
First, butt-head, err...Jimmy Carter: First, he allowed a major mideast ally, Iran, go fundamentalist Islam and take hundreds of American hostages at our embassy. At the same time, he gutted the US Armed Forces (during the Cold War). Then, he had that fiasco of a rescue attempt on the hostages (made possible by the lack of equipment and skill in our Armed Forces). Oh, and let's not forget the oil embargo that forced us all to start driving Toyota whatevers, Chevy Chevettes, Ford Mustang IIs, and the Ford Pinto to name a few catastrophes.
Next, Bill Clinton: Bill took us to Somalia, if you remember. During our stay in Somalia, the troops there were denied heavy weapons like tanks because the Administration was trying to save money. During "Blackhawk Down", we were not able to blow through the road blocks the Somali's setup for lack of a heavy tank that could bust through. Our boys got slaughtered (taking a huge number of those bastards with them) and drug through the streets. Clinton's response was similar to what Obama wants to do in Iraq: run away from the fight because he can't hack it. Somalia Mission: FAILED. btw, it was Somalia that taught Al Queda that American's are weak. How did Clinton go after Al Queda when it was shown they were a growing threat? He bombed an aspirin factory. Did you ever hear of him continuing pursuit of Al Queda after that? I didn't. I guess Clinton can't handle bad press.
You take Democrat Jimmy Carter's foreign policy brilliance. Combine it with Bill Clinton's foreign policy genius, and you will figure out what you can expect from Obama's run away and stick your head in the sand policy will be like.
Obama claims that he was right in demanding a time table to leave Iraq. 16 months he said. And now, Iraq and the US is talking about a 16 month +/- time table for withdrawal. The only problem with Obama's claim is it is 18 months +/- AFTER he was demanding the withdrawal and ONLY came after we did exactly the opposite of what he, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid were demanding the United States do: declare the war a failure (that they had already declared lost), leave the Iraqis to suffer a civil war, and give Iraq to Al Queda for the taking.
WAKE UP! Quit listening to the beautiful frickin' speaches and start paying attention to reality. I dreaded the thought of Hillary Clinton as president, but I was comfortable she understood the war and would not totally screw this country. She was only degrees from McCain, not a whole 180 degrees out of phase. Obama is a total idiot that is going to get a LOT of Americans killed ON American soil.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin
Early life and education
Palin was born Sarah Louise Heath in Sandpoint, Idaho, the daughter of Sarah Heath (née Sheeran), a school secretary, and Charles R. Heath, a science teacher and track coach.[3][4] She has English, Irish, and German ancestry.[3] Her family moved to Alaska when she was an infant.[4] She and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school, and the family regularly ran 5K and 10K races.[4]
Palin attended Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska, where she was the head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at the school[4] and the point guard and captain of the school's basketball team. She helped the team win the Alaska small-school basketball championship in 1982, hitting a critical free throw in the last seconds of the game, despite having an ankle stress fracture at the time.[4] She earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" because of her intense play[4] and was the leader of team prayer before games.[4]
In 1984, Palin won the Miss Wasilla beauty contest, then finished second in the Miss Alaska pageant,[5] at which she won a college scholarship.[4] In the Wasilla pageant, she played the flute and won "Miss Congeniality."[6][7] Palin "reported with some consternation that the judges were too interested in the contestants' derrieres."
Palin holds a Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho, where she also minored in political science.[9][10] Palin briefly worked in broadcasting as a sports reporter for local Anchorage television stations and with her husband in commercial fishing.[4]
Pre-gubernatorial political experience
City council and mayorship
Palin began her political career in 1992, running for Wasilla city council as a supporter of the controversial new sales tax and with an advertisement advocating "a safer, more progressive Wasilla".[11] She won and served two terms on the council from 1992 to 1996.
In 1996, she challenged and defeated incumbent mayor John Stein, criticizing wasteful spending and high taxes.[4] In January 1997, Palin fired the Wasilla police chief and library director. In response, a group of 60 residents calling themselves Concerned Citizens for Wasilla discussed attempting a recall campaign against Palin, but then decided against it.[12] The fired police chief later sued Palin on the grounds that he was fired because he supported the campaign of Palin's opponent, but his suit was dismissed when the judge ruled that Palin had the right under state law to fire city employees, even for political reasons.[13] Palin followed through on campaign promises to reduce the salary of the mayor, and to reduce property taxes by 40 percent.[4] She increased the city sales tax to pay for construction of an indoor ice rink and sports complex.[14] At this time, state Republican leaders began grooming her for higher office.[15] She ran for re-election as mayor against Stein in 1999, winning by an even larger margin.[4][16] Palin was also elected president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors.[17]
While mayor of Wasilla, Palin wore a "Buchanan for President" button during conservative Pat Buchanan's 1996 visit to Wasilla. Palin stated that she "welcome[s] all the candidates in Wasilla" and said she was not endorsing Buchanan.[18] Buchanan described Palin as a "supporter" in an interview after she was selected as the vice presidential nominee by McCain.[18][19]
2002 run for Lieutenant Governor
In 2002, Palin made an unsuccessful bid for lieutenant governor, coming in second to Loren Leman in a five-way race in the Republican primary. After Frank Murkowski resigned from his long-held U.S. Senate seat in mid-term to become governor, he considered appointing Palin to his Senate seat but instead chose his daughter, Alaska state representative Lisa Murkowski.[20]
Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commissioner
Governor Murkowski appointed Palin Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission,[21] where she served from 2003 to 2004. She resigned in protest over what she called the "lack of ethics" of fellow Republican members.[22][4] After she resigned, Palin exposed the state Republican Party's chairman, Randy Ruedrich, one of her fellow Oil & Gas commissioners, who was accused of doing work for the party on public time and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail.[23] Palin filed formal complaints against both Ruedrich and former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who both resigned. Ruedrich also paid a record $12,000 fine.[4]
Governor of Alaska
In 2006, running on a clean government platform, Palin defeated then-Governor Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary.[4] In August, she declared that education, public safety, and transportation would be the three cornerstones of her administration.[24] Despite being outspent by her Democratic opponent, she won the gubernatorial election in November, defeating former Governor Tony Knowles 48.3% to 40.9%.[4]
Palin became Alaska's first woman governor and, at 42, the youngest in Alaskan history. She is the first Alaskan governor born after Alaska achieved U.S. statehood and the first governor not inaugurated in Juneau. She chose to have the ceremony held in Fairbanks. She took office on December 4, 2006.
She has challenged state Republican leaders, helping to launch a campaign by Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell to unseat U.S. Congressman Don Young[25] and publicly challenging Senator Ted Stevens to come clean about the federal investigation into his financial dealings.[26]
Palin frequently had an approval rating above 90% in 2007.[27] A poll published by Hays Research on July 28, 2008 showed Palin's approval rating at 80%,[28] while another Ivan Moore poll showed it at 76%, a drop which the pollsters attributed to the controversial firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.[29]
A subsequent Rasmussen Reports poll from July 31, 2008 showed 35% of Alaskans rated her performance as excellent, 29% good, 22% fair, and 14% poor.[30]
Energy and environment
Governor Palin in Kuwait visiting soldiers of the Alaska National GuardPalin has strongly promoted oil and natural gas resource development in Alaska,[31] despite concerns from environmentalists. She also helped pass a tax increase on oil company profits.[26][27] Palin has announced plans to create a new sub-cabinet group of advisers to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions within Alaska.[32] She believes that "a changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state" but she would not "attribute it to being man-made"[33] after she was announced as Senator McCain's presumptive running mate.
Shortly after taking office, Palin rescinded 35 appointments made by Murkowski in the last hours of his administration, including that of his former chief of staff James "Jim" Clark to the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority.[34][35] Clark later pleaded guilty to conspiring with a defunct oil-field-services company to channel money into Frank Murkowski's re-election campaign.[36]
In March 2007, Palin presented the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) as the new legal vehicle for building a natural gas pipeline from the state's North Slope.[37] This negated a deal by the previous governor to grant the contract to a coalition including BP (her husband's former employer). Only one legislator, Representative Ralph Samuels, voted against the measure,[38] and in June, Palin signed it into law.[39] On January 5, 2008, Palin announced that a Canadian company, TransCanada Corp., was the sole AGIA-compliant applicant.[40][41] In August 2008, Palin signed a bill into law giving the state of Alaska authority to award TransCanada Pipelines $500 million in seed money and a license to build and operate the $26-billion pipeline to transport natural gas from the North Slope to the Lower 48 through Canada.[42]
In response to high oil and gas prices, and the resulting state government budget surplus, Palin proposed giving Alaskans $100-a-month energy debit cards. She also proposed providing grants to electrical utilities so that they would reduce customers' rates.[43] She subsequently dropped the debit card proposal, and in its place she proposed to send Alaskans $1,200 directly, paid for from the windfall surplus the state is getting because of the high oil prices.[44]
In May 2008, Palin objected to the decision of Dirk Kempthorne, the Republican United States Secretary of the Interior, to list polar bears as an endangered species. She filed a lawsuit to stop the listing amid fears that it would hurt oil and gas development in the bears' habitat off Alaska's northern and northwestern coasts. She said the move to list the bears was premature and was not the appropriate management tool for their welfare.[45]
Budget
Palin with Lt. Governor Sean ParnellShortly after becoming governor, Palin canceled a contract for the construction of an 11-mile (18-kilometer) gravel road outside Juneau to a mine. This reversed a decision made in the closing days of the Murkowski Administration.[46]
In June 2007, Palin signed into law a $6.6 billion operating budget—the largest in Alaska's history.[47] At the same time, she used her veto power to make the second-largest cuts of the construction budget in state history. The $237 million in cuts represented over 300 local projects, and reduced the construction budget to nearly $1.6 billion.[48]
Palin initially expressed support for the Gravina Island Bridge project,[49] commonly known outside the state as the "Bridge to Nowhere." However, once it had become a nationwide symbol of wasteful earmark spending and some federal funding was lost, Palin cancelled the bridge because Alaska's congressional delegation was unable to prevent the state of Alaska from having to pay for part of the bridge's construction.[26][50] Alaska still kept the federal money, but she stated that Alaska should rely less on federal funding.[50][27]
When on June 6, 2007, the Alaska Creamery Board recommended closing Matanuska Maid Dairy, an unprofitable state-owned business, Palin objected, citing concern for the impact on dairy farmers and the fact that the dairy had just received $600,000 in state money. When Palin found out that the Board of Agriculture and Conservation appoints Creamery Board members, she replaced the entire membership of the Board of Agriculture and Conservation.[27][51] The new board reversed the decision to close the dairy, but later in 2007, with Palin's support, the unprofitable business was put up for sale. There were no offers in December 2007, when the minimum bid was set at $3.35 million,[52][53] and the dairy was closed that month. In August 2008, the Anchorage plant was purchased for $1.5 million, the new minimum bid; the purchaser plans to convert it into heated storage units.[54]

Looks to me like Palin has always been a leader from as early as high school. She has always taken care of number one (first her city, then her state, and hopefully when McCain Palin win, her country). She dumps waste when she sees it (give her a line-item veto and we'll have a balanced budget in a year).
She's a reformer, and, just like McCain says, the future of the Republican Party (if they're smart).

grrr! I'm fired up! McCain took in $7,000,000 in a day when he announced Palin as his running mate. You got a fired up Right Wing Political Machine now. Don't declare victory just yet. It'll take a few weeks for the press to be forced into being fair again. For now they'll piss all over Palin as a VP and they'll hide behind the hurricane to avoid putting up good press for the Republicans. But, I'm not worried, they are already showing themselves to be total a-holes and the American public is going to hold it against them and they'll be forced back into a closer-to-almost-but-not-quite fair mode.
I need to start a blog, 'cause I can go another couple hours here.

Ok who let Back Pain out of his cage?
You know how you can tell if Sara was a good pick? You watch MSNBC and see all those talking heads saying how bad a pick she was. Since when does being from a small town make you dumb? She's a smart and tough cookie if you ask me. I love the pick!!!!
As for me? I'm absolutely Giddy! GIDDY!!! She is absolutely the best pick, I give Kudos to McCain for picking her, she'd been my pick for VP. too. And if something happened to McCain I'm sure she'd she could handle it just as well as Obama could.
Obama's pick was dull DULL!!! Joe freaking Biden? What a freaken hack he is. The only reason he was picked was...he's a white old dude. The demographic that Obama was having the most problems with.
McCain Palin will win in 2008, I'm totally convinced of it now!

lol, exactly what I was going to say Fossil...the boys on MSNBC and CNN were lining up trying to make the case against her...funny I felt the same way. I just get the biggest kick watch the left wing media fall all over themselves about the pick....even Ole Nosey see's the writing on the wall...and since you are so sure OBAMA Superstar is going to win this Nosey, how about a little bet..say $1k on your pick, $1k on mine..?
...and she is cute. I'll admit McCain is a ugly dude, she sure does purdy up the pic when they stand side by side. And to think, someone looking like that love hunting, guns, right to life, less government, less taxes...god I want to marry her! Of course you want to talk about VP picks. OBAMA say vote for him for CHANGE? All I need to say is "BIDEN". Talk about a 30 year spend and tax old fart...my god, what was OBAMA thinking? All you hear is Change and he selects the one guys that represents the old tax and spend, more government, lying his was to the top... Frankly, the change they are talking about is nothing that even interests me..

FYI I too voted for Perot his first time around (92 I think it was) and Libertarian last two times. I am a genuine Independent and will vote for the man who serves my interest best. I'd say the mystery of Obama beats the same ole same ole McCain. I don't see how either will fix the mess in one term anyway.

The "same ol'" of GW is what kept us from being attacked again. I'm all for more of that. And, McCain is far smarter than Bush / Rumsfeld / Cheney on the war. McCain tried like hell to get more occupation troops right after the invasion because he knew there were not enough to stabilize the country. That alone would have saved us a ton of anguish.
The economy is on a natural cycle. Just like Clinton hid the last 2 quarters of his presidency that showed we were heading into an economic downturn (he lied about the condition of the economy to help Gore get elected), Bush had an economic slowdown during his time. Overall, Bush did very well on the economy. I gurantee you no Democrat would have prevented the housing melt down either. All the talk about "Change" is election rah-rah-rubbish. It is amazing to see people buying into Obama's pom-pom speaches without looking at the substance of this guy.
Ask yourself:
What votes did Obama make when he was in office? Did he vote like a guy that is beholden to the far Left? (There is at least one abortion related vote that he refused to require medical care for LIVING, BREATHING BABIES that were able to survive an attempted abortion. Why did he condemn these babies? So as not to erode Roe v. Wade rights.)
What real ideas did he come up with, sponsor, and get through? Where they good for America in general or biased far left stuff? (He's done nothing of substance that I know of.)
What kind of relationships did Obama have BEFORE he was put under scrutiny? These are his true friends and voluntary associations. Are any of them criminal elements? Are any of them divisive, haters, bigots, or wackos?
When he pitches healing America and bringing Americans together, does he also take the time to talk about how "They" are doing nothing but the same ol' politics, and "They" don't have any new ideas, and "They" are responsible for all the problems in America? Those are not the words of healing or being inclusive or being a positive force in bringing America together.
Don't let the glitter blind you to the substance of the candidates. That's one of the good things about McCain, he is glitterless. What you see is all substance. Obama is like a chocolate Easter bunny. He's got that yummy milk chocolate shell, but he's hollow on the inside.

 Bad Back pain for using the racist "chocolate bunny" reference. Try to be more PC for our liberal readers.
How is Obama the state legislator who voted present 25% of the time qualified to be president? Sara Palin is more qualified to be PRESIDENT than Obma is. She's just up for the VP slot which all you have to do is break ties in the senate, attend funerals and shoot lawyers in the face...

Why? Liberals tend to call those with more melanin in their skin Oreo's if they are get out of their place and become conservative.
Also, just think of this if there is a McCain/Palin win: when McCain terms out or if he only goes one term, Palin will be a certain shoo-in for the Republican Presidential ticket for 2012 or 2016. May the first Woman president be Conservative!
