small state? Alaska is the largest state in the country. 591,004 square miles

It's not known for certain if she was on the plane, but common sense would indicate that non-stop charter flights from Anchorage to Middletown, OH (just outside Dayton) are beyond rare. While we don't have any concrete answers, if Palin wasn't on that plane, it would be one hell of a coincidence.

FINALLY a reason to be excited for the McCain ticket, other than being anti-Obama.
*fingers crossed*

Pretty hard to pick a 2-year small state governor with only local experience before that, when campaigning against Obama’s inexperience — and while McCain has said over and over that he wants someone first of all, who can step in if anything were to happen to him.

Every time Obama or Biden or Matthews or Olberman attack her for inexperience, McCain just has to say "You're right--someone who's inexperienced shouldn't be president. Tell that to Senator Obama."

And then he can say her time as VP will be on-the-job training, something we can afford in a VP, not in a president.

Her positives far, far outweigh her negatives.

SO what about the ethics investigation? Did that wash out to nothing?

It would be especially cool if she’s the pick from an all boy lineup orchestrated for this little event. Talk about pi$$ing on the demo convention! That’s a lot of flashbang for an intro.

“...female Clinton voters would love her...”

I don’t think so. She is on the wrong side on abortion for them and nothing will make that up. Also, I think she is on the wrong side in the looks department for them (ie Rush’s maxim that NOW exists because those women can’t get dates).

I like her, but I think she defeats McCain’s greatest weapon - pointing out Obama’s inexperience. Let her and/or Jindal get four more years experience in their Governors’ mansions and then who knows.

It is going to be Romney I think. Outside shot at Cantor.

A great decoy? Are you kidding?
Nobody in the media is even mentioning her, OR this flight.

Tbis is as good as tracking plane for college football coaching searches. She would throw the MSM for a loop for sure.

IMO It’s very likely the McCain campaign is going to be against Obama and the issues after his spending spree speech and put the inexperience line on the backburner.

The beauty of this is, the one weakness Palin has, inexperience, Obama also carries so he can’t attack her for that.

Palin would appeal to women and also be a wonderful VP debate play vs angry Joe Biden.

It could be one of those too. It would be a pretty elaborate fake-out as I’d assume it’s anything but a quick flight and probably cost a good bit.

I have followed her political career since she was the mayor of Wasilla (South Central Alaska) and this much I can guarantee you, she is nobody to mess with.
