LOL. She’s not the worst choice, to be sure. And she is pretty conservative. Scares McCain.

Palin's children range from 18 (her son in the military) to her newborn and her older children and husband can help her out. Her other kids seem fine so she's doing something right.

Palin's more important qualification may be the year she spent dealing with Alaska's Oil and Gas commission which gives her experience with drilling and the oil industry. McCain has national security covered and it would give him a credible way to shift his position on ANWR drilling.

Palin's son is in the military. Does that help?

I don't think that having a female Veep should condemn us to 4 years of pantsuits.

The more recent reports suggest that the claims against her are not being substantiated. Sounds like a nusiance complaint that won't stick to me.

What if she's "the bomb" in the bedroom. That doesn't count? :)

Quite possibly the funniest line on FR in a long time. Well played.

I’d be very happy with her as McCain’s choice.

Besides the fact that she is conservative, has “oil” credibility, and executive experience, she would be able to say just about anything during the race with impunity.

nObama is already in trouble with females who feel betrayed by the donkeys and if he comes across as being “mean” to her it is just one more advantage for McCain.

But I am very loathe to support a president with no military experience.

You mean like Ronald Reagan?

Yeah, that’s why I don’t think McQueeg will pick her. She’ll upstage him.

Palin would add a dimension to the McCain campaign. She would capture more female votes for sure. As far as Jindal, I think he might be future presidential material. He’s about as American as you can get.

Nope,
Based on this reasoning,
it is tiresome to hear the evangelical faction continuously claim to speak for the rest of us.

It is also true that Hunter was virtually sidelined by the great Mormon versus snake handler / Elvis impersonator contest the primaries were allowed to become.

As a result, we have a candidate no one outside the RNC smoky back room really likes, running against a socialist phantasm shrouded by politically correct campaign rules that our side didn't make.

You cannot be a conservative woman and turn your babies over to someone else to raise.

If she can do that to her babies, imagine what she will be willing to do to us.

He may have worn a uniform but Ronald Reagan was never military...

...but he was a fantastic commander-in-chief.

When you say you would find it hard to support someone without military service time I take that to mean someone who served full-time for a significant time period. Not someone who took a little training but never really put in any field time. It’s just not the same thing.

I’m not arguing the value of military service for a potential CINC since I served over 20 years as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army. I am just saying that what is much much more important is a potential CINC having a correct understanding of the role the U.S. military plays in the elements of national power. Wesley Clark, for instance, may have been a general in the Army but from what I can tell would make a terrible CINC.

MILITARY SERVICE OF RONALD REAGAN

Ronald Wilson Reagan enrolled in a series of home-study Army Extension Courses on 18 March 1935. After completing 14 of the courses, he enlisted in the Army Enlisted Reserve on 29 April 1937, as a Private assigned to Troop B, 322nd Cavalry at Des Moines, Iowa. He was appointed Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps of the Cavalry on 25 May 1937. On June 18 of that year Reagan, who had just moved to Los Angeles to begin his film career, accepted his Officer’s Commission and was assigned to the 323rd Cavalry.

Lieutenant Reagan was ordered to active duty on 19 April 1942. Due to eyesight difficulties, he was classified for limited service only, which excluded him from serving overseas. His first assignment was at the San Francisco Port of Embarkation at Fort Mason, California, as liaison officer of the Port and Transportation Office. Upon the request of the Army Air Forces (AAF), he applied for a transfer from the Cavalry to the AAF on 15 May 1942; the transfer was approved on 9 June 1942. He was assigned to AAF Public Relations and subsequently to the 1st Motion Picture Unit in Culver City, California. Reagan was promoted to First Lieutenant on 14 January 1943 and was sent to the Provisional Task Force Show Unit of This Is The Army at Burbank, California. Following this duty, he returned to the 1st Motion Picture Unit, and on 22 July 1943 was promoted to Captain.

In January 1944, Captain Reagan was ordered to temporary duty in New York City to participate in the opening of the sixth War Loan Drive. He was assigned to the 18th AAF Base Unit, Culver City, California on 14 November 1944, where he remained until the end of the war. He was recommended for promotion to Major on 2 February 1945, but this recommendation was disapproved on July 17 of that year. On 8 September 1945, he was ordered to report to Fort MacArthur, California, where he was separated from active duty on 9 December 1945.
