Well, it’s going to take a while for me to get over Romney not being chosen. However, if McCain puts him in a cabinet position, something financial, then I’ll be happier. I can’t slam this woman Palin as it came out of the blue and I know nothing about her. I have since gone to a couple of sources on the web to read up, and she may be an ok pick. We’ll see. I don’t like the idea of him picking a PC choice, and I never trust McCain. However, she may pan out. I’m open to learning about her and preserve the right to revise and extend my remarks. It sure is a shocker, I’ll say that. But I will read up on her and listen to her and see if she passes muster. They say she is a blunt speaker, and so am I, LOL, so that’s one big point in her favor. Is sure shaking up the MSM, and that humors me. They are all going bonkers and don’t know what to make of it. And her parents hunt caribou and her husband is/was a snowmobiling champion. Like the outdoorsy part of it. And if she gets McCain to open ANWAR, that will be a real plus. I will wait and see while I mourn for Romney. I’ll wear black for a few days till I get over it, which, considering it is now a done deal, will probably be sooner than later.

"They forget that their last golden boy president didn’t have any foreign policy experience either."

Clinton's hatred of the military led to his failure in his primary responsibility which was to protect the American people. 9/11 Never forget.

Please no more cheese eating surrender monkeys.  McCain /Palin 08!

My mother is mostly thrilled that this is making Queen Bee Pelosi really MAD!

[Kickass Conservative]

So she can debate Obami the Commie.

McCain can debate Plugs.

Rugged good looks. He looks like he should be on the show ‘Men in Trees’

Come on now, this isn't about me, this is about the McCain/Palin announcement.

I think we should let out the “lions and tigers and ...” from the National Zoo. After all, with all the leftists in D.C., they are living in the world of Oz.

I, too, mourn Mitt...being a New Yorker, I always wear black so nobody will notice. ;)

First thing this morning I heard some folks, die hard Obama supporters, who work in the same office as me, while watching CNN in the breakroom, say “Damn, McCain is stealing this from us..”
