Of course, they spin it as a good thing for McCain. Overall, it’s not a good thing.

And about that new global warming plank:

All you party loyalists better take note.

I agree. Hopefully he can step down soon and let Sarah take over.

Yes but with a little luck Palin may be able to lead the raging RINO toward the right side of the aisle.

I’m not counting on it or anything. Just crossing my finners.

Palin is a big supporter of drilling ANWR.

I knew re-registering as a democrat was not a mistake.

McCain is a buffoon!

And no, my state was not an op-chaos state. I put in a change request the week he became the presumptive nom.

Really? Just how do you figure she changes ANYTHING about him. Just because he picked someone far more conservative than he is DOES NOT change a thing about McCain. Nothing. He’s still who he is, he still holds the same positions he did yesterday, before Sara Palin. It’s just a political game played to make you feel more comfortable voting for McCain.

Email from a friend of mine out in Arizona, says that she has a bunch of friends up in Alaska. She called them today asking about this choice. She said that all her friends think Palin to be a light weight, that does what she is told. I certainly hope that is not the truth and this lady has a back bone and will kick ass. Any Alaska folks out there share this opinion of my friend’s friends, or do you think she is strong?

Even w/Palin at his side, RINO McPain won’t change his pro-democrat liberal ways. She’s just going to be dressing to appeal to the conservative and women’s vote to put him in office to continue his path. I don’t trust him and he won’t get my vote. And I REFUSE to consider the islamic osama hussein.

We’ll have time to find out. I’m not going to engage in the conspiratorializing given her record while short seems solid.

She did stop that bridge to nowhere, didn’t she? So who told her to do that?

Palin is For drilling ANWR, the Indians want it also. She shut up the WWF about declaring Polar Bears endangered wildlife. I believe she can put some sense into McLame, whose life experience was eating pumpkin soup and rice.

Your line of reasoning is also stating McCain was not conservative prior to selecting Palin. One act in one day doesn't not erase decades of siding with socialist Democrats on many issues.

Hey, that bridge was going somewhere. It was going to that place called no where. I saw a program about this bridge on History channel or one of those, and that bridge is stupid to begin with. Even if built, it goes to a place where there is no one. What do those people think, someone is suddenly going to build a bunch of truck stops through iced over Siberia???

I’m with you. I like what little I know about Palin but can’t find much hope in me that she’ll have a lot of effect on a McCain white house.

That said I think McCain will win based on the fact that his opponent is even more pathetic than he is. I’m still writing a conservative name on my ballot.

Unfortunately, we Arizonan’s are very familiar with McCain sounding like a bonafide conservative during election season then making a sharp left turn after he is elected.
