she has a serious legislative investigation going here (I’m from Juneau) over abuse of power. Wow. It’s like watching “Being There” again. Chance the idiot gardner is going to b president! Urrrg.

I loved that movie.

Can you tell us something about this investigation?

Bravo, Bravo! Say goodnight, lefties! This gal is a mensch!

[Dandydoodley]

I’m with you, Palin ain’t no Margaret Thatcher, should something happen to McCain.
Palin’s no match for Putin. (ò¿ó)

Palin/Jindal 2012

McCain will be a one termer due to his age. Palin will the most effective to defeat Hillary in 2012.

I look for the Clintons to do they can behind the scenes to defeat Obama this go round.

Hillary supporters have started a movement, PUMA (Party Unity My @$$!)

I will happily vote for McCain and Palin...excellent choice. Very good.

[GSWarrior]

From the very little I've read on the subject, I drew the conclusion that the party establishment in Alaska is upset with Palin for whistle-blowing, bucking the career politicians, etc.

Is she really guilty of any malfeasance or is this just sour grapes from people whose toes she stepped on?

[dashing doofus]

Hope your vision is right. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hillary lent some of her poltical advisors to McCain to help with the choice.

I think Hillary and Bill are two of McCains most solid backers.

I went on Foxnews.com and found lots of pics of Gov. Palin. She is certainly as beautiful as she is strong. I can’t WAIT till Nov!!! I am STOKED right now!!

[MBB1984]

This is similar to Mondale's appointment of Ferraro; a desperate and stupid move. With barely 18 months experience as governor, Palin is not qualified to be Vice President.

[DryFly]

Worst. Pick. Ever.

[dashing doofus]

But Barak can’t attack her on inexperience. Neither can the MSM, who support Barak.

And, there were no obvious leading choices, so this seems like a very smart pick, from a political/electability standpoint, to me.

[groanup]

LOL. OK, thanks.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

PUMAs are angry Hillary supporters who haven't given up the fight against Obama. It stands for;

Party
Unity
My
A$$

Have the democrats given us anyine in the last 20 years without some Ivy Oeague connection?
Finally, a real person on a ticket.

[MBB1984]

Agree fully. I would say I am surprised, but McCain makes so many idiotic decisions it is just one more. This move will certainly hurt McCain.

This blog http://www.andrewhalcro.com/ has the scoop. It's been in the papers up here too.

[Schwarzeneger]

There is nothing to that. Its not going to resonate, especially when you see what the situation was about.
