Video: Palinmania!(Alaska governor, potential V.P.)

hot air ^

[maccaca]

Eight minutes on ANWR, taxing “windfalls,” and her VP prospects from last night’s “Kudlow & Company.” Nothing surprising here in light of her recent letter to Reid, but it’s the first chance I’ve had to see her talking politics in an extended segment and so I figured it’s probably yours, too. Is that what an Alaskan accent sounds like? Not quite Canadian, not quite North Dakotan.

There really isn't a distinct accent here.

As a governor, her administration has repeatedly changed tax structures on the oil/gas industry and I don't think she'd be anything to write home about as a VP.

I can’t get the video to work? I would have loved to hear her.

The Ticket could use some Conservative Eye Candy. Replace the Capital Rotunda w/an Oil Well.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I think with her taking the point on Energy and domestic oil and gas development and with both her and McCain with sons in the military giving them great credibility in the war efforts, they'd be a killer combination. She could also help him out with pro-life and gun-rights conservatives as well as women.

Her administration took over a corrupt political organization in Alaska which saw (mostly) Republicans and Democrats heading to trial on a monthly baisis and that corruption stemmed from a cozy relationship with the oil industry. She’s put the dealings with those companies back on a more business like basis and returned some of the credibility of the govt there. She can’t be faulted for that. Personally, I think she would make a helluva VP candidate.

The more I read and hear about her the better she sounds....but I would hate to have her ruined by McCain and the DC elites

[ReleaseTheHounds]

I saw this segment and thought she hit it out of the park. I wonder if McCain is smart enough to recognize what a great addition she would be to the ticket, especially if he would give up his stupid opposition to ANWR drilling.

Pallin is “change I can believe in.”

In my travels to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, I have noticed that people do not have a distinct accent.

I'm glad there seems to be a nascent Draft Palin movement. I've been pushing her all year and hoping she'd get some more national coverage. She communicates and articulates her principles well and that's something that the national GOP has lacked for almost a decade now.

Re: the accent. She has a typical midwestern accent, AKA the American accent you'll find in most of the country, from Ohio westwards to Washington

What I fault her for is the way she has dealt with business in the state and creating tax structures that are not favorable to business. For 'cleaning up' government/business relationships, I think that was a house of cards which was blown over.

Personally, I think she would make a helluva VP candidate.

Strategically for McCain, I think she would be a wise choice, especially outside. She is attractive and bright, and would be very well received. I think that, like McCain, she is not a conservative and seems to pride herself on being able to jump to the other side of the political aisle.

[MadHatChemist]

Palin took out a corrupt incumbent of her own party and succeeded. That is EXACTLY the type of person we need on the ticket.
