Steelie, it appears as though your speculation about Palin may have been spot on. I have to say I've read up on her over these last few days and am finding it hard not to get excited.

Oh, If true this will set the new standard. Couple of things. How is Biden going to battle this? He is usually very course when debating people. She will hold her own. She will be the first Woman VP with the potential(heaven forbid)of becoming the first Woman President. I like it.......

She will hold her own. I like her, I really do. She's done a lot in the way of reducing wasteful government spending and is not afraid of standing up to corrupt members of her own party.

Not to mention the fact that she is a "hockey mom," and seems totally down to earth.

She's smart, and honestly could bring a lot to this ticket. I just wish they'd hurry up and confirm it already!

Don't see her here..

(CNN)— John McCain’s campaign has told Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty he
will not be McCain’s vice-presidential running mate on the Republican ticket in
November, sources told CNN.

McCain is due to announce his running mate at a rally in Dayton, Ohio on
Friday.Pawlenty had been thought to be on the short list, along with former
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman of
Connecticut, former homeland security secretary Tom Ridge, and others.

She fishes, hunts moose, is a former beautyqueen runner-up, is the mother of a downs syndrome child, and governor of Alaska. Sounds like the race just got real interesting again.

Yes I like what I see but don't pull the handle just cause she's a female. No insult intended.

I definitely would not pull the handle for someone based on race, sex, weight, height, religion, etc. But, I have to say that having a woman as strongly suited for this position actually being in the running is exciting, intriguing and definitely what this race needed.

I also REALLY like it because she really hasn't been mentioned by the media basically until this morning.

What the clincher is though is that she's really a no none sense type of woman. The fact that she's stood up and outed those in her own party no less as corrupt. That takes guts, and that's what we need as a member of leadership in our country. It kind of goes with McCain's stance on pork barrel spending and earmarks on bills. I like it.

How many democrat women would jump ship and vote Republican because she is added to the ticket?

From Foxnews, MSNBC is reporting something similar...

"DENVER — Speculation about who John McCain would name as his running mate focused on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin after reports circulated early Friday that two short-listers — Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty — were out of the running.

Adding fuel to the Palin possibility was a report that a charter aircraft from Anchorage owned by a McCain supporter had arrived in Dayton, Ohio, where McCain has scheduled a noon ET rally to announce his choice.

Palin is considered a rising star in the Republican Party. She is the state’s first female governor, the mother of five — and at 44 is its youngest chief executive"

I wonder if she knows what the meaning of "is" is. I will bet she DOES.

Wikipedia, as far as I know really couldn't be biased. They're more of a dictionary site so to speak maintained by regular web people like you or I. At least that's what I've always assumed.

I was impressed too mom. I have to say I was incredibly touched too when reading the story about her youngest son with Down Syndrome. She seems like the right woman for the job.

Gee Neko, you sound like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. When my kids get crabby like you, I try to get a little more fiber into their diet. It usually works wonders. Just a thought.
