I think I read that her husband is Mr. Mom.

As good as Mitt Romney is as a vice-presidential choice, Palin is even better.

Palin would be an inspired pick.

Pawlenty would be just fair.

Romney would be a terrible pick that might actually cost McCain the election.

[webrover]

Never heard that one :) I guess that’s a fashionable thing nowadays among those who keep up. Who knows, anymore.

"Its odd, isn’t it?"

Hey, I'm just here for the pics.

And, might I add, I'm highly disappointed. Mebbe I can start a Women's Beach Volleyball & Javelin Olympic Retrospective thread?

[red state girl]

If McCain picks Palin, he will win by a landside.

[bill1952]

Palin is absolutely worth no electoral votes at all.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Can't you just imagine Sarah Palin as President of the Senate? About now what do you think Harry Reid is doing? And Harry Byrd? he won't have any more "monuments" with his name on it. And the childish behavior will be dealt with, whether from Republican or Democrat. This isn't "just" a pretty face, this is an Alaskan pretty face, this is an accomplished pretty face.

And all the television sets will be tuned to CSpan2 and computers everywhere will have an extra window open to CSpan2 as well.

[HighlyOpinionated]

She is under investigation right now for abuse of power and some other issues dealing with State law.

My understanding that has already been taken care of. The man in question should have been dismissed and the ex of her sister was breaking the law. Got it?

What is with you guys? If you're not Conservatives, return to your Kos/DU dens and lick your wounds.

[ASOC]

“You guys”? WTF is up with you. You “understand” wrong. I live in ALaska - and it is a big deal up here.

“The man” (a real life cop and a human) did get a slap on the wrist,

Sara cut funding to the trooper for the laast two years - while bloating the rest of the State govt by 35%... sounds like a RINO to me.

And my concern was the personal vindictiness she HAS shown - the ‘laws’ he broke were reported two + years after the fact as part of the diviorce process.

As far as the illegal moose he shot - Ssras daddy cut it up in his garage and the entire family got some...

Want more - LOOK AT the facts before you go shooting off your yap my FRiend

Taxes? She pushed them *Higher* than Hugo Chavez..

Spends like a RINO and on and on.

I’ll vote for her and Johnny - if only because Obama would be a disaster for the Nation.

BTW I am a vet and very Conservative, which is why Sara rubs me the wrong way.

Have a nice day.

[Theophilus]

How do you know there aren't more people who will vote against her because she's an attractive woman?

Attractiveness is a known advantage in politics. It's undeniable and timeless.

There are also people out there who are not pro-life, and people who might think a mom of 5 is not what we need as CinC and leader of the greatest superpower on the planet.

The are many people that think motherhood is one of the highest callings among mankind. They are many others who will also appreciate the living evidence of outstanding success for a woman in both family and career spheres.

How many votes do you figure that wins her? Any?

People are interested in energy and freedom these days. Not to mention the courageous and adventurous lifestyles of our Alaskans and their wild a beautiful state. Many pro-gun ownership people are absolutely in love. I think it gets votes and it will get money which helps get votes.

About twenty months of experience. What was she before that, and how much experience in her last position? And how did she leave it?

She has experience winning against the odds. She's anti-establishment.

So which is it, you want experience or virginity?

A queen called "The Virgin" was one of the greatest national leaders of all time. Yes, I'll take virtue over cynical, smug, arrogant, self-righteous, slimeball, whoring experience every time.

I expect McCain and Palin to do what is good and in our national interest and leave Putin and other rivals and partners to the Almighty God that installed them.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

He’s the nominee. She’s the running mate. It is no longer a matter for dispute, although your reasoning begs to be put out of its misery.
Enjoy your honeymoon and try not to stir up dissent.
