Gov. Sarah Palin is dividing the country. The airwaves are filled with those who can see past McCain's cheap ploy to get his campaign moving.
McCain put his desire to be President above the best interests of our country. He deserves to lose.
Aside from all the reasons Palin is a danger to the country because of her lack of qualifications remotely relevant to any high national office, from foreign policy to education to the economy to social security to health care, there's her record, her lack of a record, her ties to the radical right, her position on issues, her distortion of her record and the pending investigation into abuse of her office.
She has become so polarizing a figure that she's now a threat. The radical right is so excited that it might get a chance to direct the pick of our next Supreme Court justices, it cannot contain its glee. The rest of the country is terrified (except for a small number of women who think the race should still be about Hillary and sexism.)

The media is going to dig and dig. I hope they find something. I hope she withdraws from the ticket sooner than later.
Her novelty has worn off. She's becoming a joke, soon to be a cliche. My e-mail box is overflowing. People are waking up. Gov. Palin has done nothing to be awarded the honor of serving as the second highest official in the country.
McCain is vulnerable due to age and health issues. It's a fact, not ageism. Not every 72 year old is too old to serve, but the likelihood that this particular 72 year old might not finish out his term, whether from illness or death, is a plausible scenario.
People will begin to picture Palin as President -- trying to deal with the Pentagon, leaders of foreign countries, our economy. They will be furious with McCain that he would risk the welfare of the country by choosing Gov. Sarah Palin.
It's not going to happen....unless people stop speaking up and the radical right pours a lot more money into McCain's campaign to make more swift-boat ads.
Forget the Bush III line. Nobody cares. There's two camps now, and Sarah Palin is the dividing line. The fault lies with John McCain and his advisers who convinced him to try and pull a fast one.
(Big Tent Democrat disassociates himself from this post.)
Since their definition of "united" is "everybody votes for Obama", I would have to agree with their statement. Sarah Palin has made it a two-party race, and it's about time.
The Democrats were convinced that McCain was going to follow their script, and put on a token campaign and soundly lose to their Holy Agent of Change. They are very angry that McCain has deviated from their script. This anger fills my heart with glee, because it means we are winning.
Palin is the gift that keeps on giving (in a great way)
Aren't you listening?!

...it's almost MORE fun watching these Lefty loonies in melt-down overdrive. What a blast this election has become! Thank God for America, and for Americans like Sarah. I can't remember when I've had so much fun watching an election season unfold.

The denial of these people is Breathtaking ! They foam at the mouth about Sarah Palin Who has More Guts and experience than that Lying Black Radical and they are convinced that Obambi is Qualified to be President . What Universe are these Morons Operating in
When it works for Dems (if it works for Dems) - it's called 'bold, daring, innovative, inspired, etc.'
When a Pubbie runs rings around them, it's a cheap ploy.
Jokes aside have you ever seen such a more infantile bunch? They are like a kid upset at a friend's birthday party because it's not HIS OWN birthday party.
The American Left: hate and fear, papered over with lies about “tolerance” and “diversity.”
To the leftists, the Left is the country. Conservatives are just a nuisance and don't really belong.
By that definition, Gov. Palin is dividing the "country", in a way that very well may prove fatal.
Jeralynn Merrit should get out more. She’s the one who is out of touch. This entire rant is wishful thinking.
bttt
I hope so. I want a real 16 year long knock-down, drag-out, bitter, bitter fight.
It's been a long time coming, Let's get it on!
Meanwhile the Dims have the most polarizing far-left candidate ever at the top of their ticket.
