For Experience. City Council, Mayor, Ran for Lt.Gov ernor, Elected Governor, Very High Approval Ratings, Has always worked for the people and not vice versa. She already has a lot more experience alone than Barack Hussein Obama. If tragedy were to his Senator McCain, she would be able to take over and lead this Great Nation.

On Gender, Many Clinton Supporters were upset that Barack Hussein Obama choose to pick another Far Left Liberal in Joe Biden from Delaware that would only really influence 3 electoral votes. Alaska has more electoral votes. By Senator McCain picking Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin, many Clinton Supporters will now go and Vote for the McCain Campaign.

On Barack Hussein Obama's so called "Convention Bounce". Or lack thereof I should say. This race is still tied dead on and The Republican Convention is yet to come. Historically, the Republicans too get a convention bounce in the polls. If things are tied now and McCain gets his convention bounce which with his choice in VP he most certainly will, McCain will hold a 5point edge over Barack Hussein Obama.

This Election is now most certainly going to be interesting but I most certainly think that Senator McCain will come out on top now that he has picked a well accomplished female as his running mate.

Funny. You are not the only one thinking that I'm sure. McCain is making this more and more hilarious. Keep up the laughs that may be all we have left.

And this female is what & who exactly. McCain claimed the inexperience of Obama yet he picks someone with 2 years experience, vindictive and just plain "Don't Know Shit". Obama Convention Bounce is here and will show. McCain made a bad choice and Obama's words are memorable.

I am thrilled that Sen John McCain picked Govn'r Sarah Palin as his running mate. Thrilled, excited and confident that they will be the winning ticket. I was so sick of hearing the names of the other party that I almost gave up on caring about politics. I am 76 years old and wish I could carry a banner with McCain and Palin throughout the country. I'll pray for them every day. I WAS a Democrat who was going to vote for McCain because he is the BEST man to be the President of the United States. J M D

Perfect choice.

1) Panders to women in a way that is sure to rub them the wrong way.

2) Palin is currently under investigation for abuse of office. Talk about more of the same, she is a typical power abusing republican.

Good luck there, wrinkled old white haired guy.

The RNC has already begun ingeniously promoting her creds at the site:

Where was she when the committee came up with John. Anyway now that Mr. Stevens is otherwise occupied, poor Alaska is left way out there with no pork barrel angel. So, Big Oil, Stevens, Bush/Cheney came up with someone who would watch over their oil interests and make sure that Alaskan pork barrel interests are not left out there in the left frozen hinter land. Shrewd.

I think McCain's choice of a Vice Presidential nominee is excellent. She's unexperienced and right wing, from what I've read. Surely, my candidate, Obama, will have a super chance of winning and cure our failing country.

Wow. With that "long" resume of experience maybe she ought to be on the TOP of the Republican ticket.

What a dopey pick. If McCain just wanted a woman on his ticket, mission accomplished. Had he picked someone like Kay Bailey, he would have hit a home-run. Instead, he hits a "bloop" single.

I can't wait for the first VP debate. The Democrats could not have made a better selection to "pull down" the Republican ticket. Thanks John.

I'm the same age as McCain (72) Although in good health, I know my limitations, mental as well as physical. I doubt McCain can serve 4 yrs with both good mental and physical health. I question Palin's readiness to assume the Presidency with her limited experience.

Hopefully you can cast your ballot better than you can use your keyboard. Hard to believe you were educated in Bethesda.
