(CNN) – A leading House Democrat said Thursday John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is a "risky" move that could ultimately prove disastrous to the Republican prospects in November.
Meanwhile, a top Senate Democrat said the pick is a "Hail Mary pass" and a "roll of the dice," in what is the initial reactions from McCain's rival party.

That only allows the GOP to savage their presidential nominee.
“I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH SARAH”
That was the first time I’ve heard her speak and I too was impressed. Paying tribute to Ferraro and Hillary was a nice touch.
My only concern now is how she’ll do against Biden at the debates.
I’m also very happy with this pick. Dodged a bullet by not selecting Willard!
She’s pro-choice.
NRA member.
She’s an avid hunter.
Has 5 kids (one of them is serving in the US Army)
Has executive experience, unlike Obama, Biden, and even McCain
Obama is screwed.
IF McCain/Palin don’t issue some sort of advert like the one below,
they deserve to lose:
If you believe you have a fundamental right to own a gun, rifle or
shotgun
AND
to defend yourself and others against criminals...
you know in your heart that you MUST vote for McCain/Palin.
Despite Obama’s deceitful contention that he’s a Second Amendment guy.
Uhhhhhhhhh . . . . thanks for the helpful advice!
She might have some drawbacks but so did all of McCain’s possible choices. So this is very exciting and I think she will help McCain. Palin is a very appealing personality. I wish she were at the top of the ticket.
In any case the Dems are obviously running scared. Got to love it.
Palin is going to secure the conservative base. (Prolife, gunowner, huntress, ...)
Palin is going the secure the "special needs" crowd (asthe mother of a Down syndrome child).
As a woman Palin will be seen to disarm the dems criticism of "picking and old, establishment white guy."
Let 'em complain all they want about her so called inexperience. She's a sitting governor and has executive experience unlike the cypher O-bama.
Panic mode from the fever swamps. Happy happy joy joy.
“hail mary pass”, “another Dan Quayle”

Her speech was 4 grand slams (16 RBI s)

Wow, that statement is genius!!!
“Plus, she’s CONSERVATIVE, smart, looks good, etc. I’m happy as a lark with this pick.”
Yes, but is she clean and articulate...oh wait...
The beauty of Sarah Palin - SHE IS NOT MARRIED TO BILL CLINTON!!!!!!!!
What a great normal family - her spirit is right there in the open - I am so impressed and grateful that John McCain had the courage, insight and understanding to select her.
It says more about McCain than anything else that has been written about him.
Looks as if Cindy and Sarah have already bonded - WOWSER!!!
I’ve been laughing for an hour straight. The only thing I can think of to say is, “McCain, you magnificent bastard!”
I was planning on voting for Barr. But now I’m gonna vote McCain. The problem is that I live in IL, so my vote doesn’t count (or, more accurately for Chicago politics, won’t be counted, unless it is for a “D”).
Juxaposed to McCain’s classy congratulations ad of yesterday the Dims are making themselves look smaller and smaller with this.
They are quivering in their Birkenstocks.
