(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.

I heard Bob Beckel this morning on FNC make a statement questioning her experience and I laughed. If they do try that line of attack, it will serve to remind people of how horribly lacking is Obambi’s list of qualifications.

I wonder if this will affect other Freepers like myself, WHO BEFORE TODAY, was going to stay home. Well, judging by the other threads on this subject today(I went to bed at 3 last night and got up at 5:30 because it was beginning to look then as if Palin was it)a whole sh** load of them have come back to the fold.
I was voting for McCain, reluctantly, even though his campaign has stirred me up a little, but now I am joyously voting for him and not just because of Palin, but also because McCain had the guts and intuition to pick her.
He listened to his party and picked the right person for the job, that alone gets him my vote gladly, Palin is just the icing on the cake. I don't know if you can grasp my meaning or not I am slightly giddy right now!

“CHANGE” is “risky”. So is “audacity”.

My only concern now is how shell do against Biden at the debates.Call me crazy, but I think she's the best choice to go against Biden in a debate.
To: onlylewis
This lady is the ONLY one on both tickets that has EXCECUTIVE experience!
AND having many Alaska snowbirds that winter around here..they have said that this is one lady you dont wanna fool with.
Let Biden start with his crap and he’ll find out that this lady governs the state that is the closest to Russia and has to be on the cutting edge of military issues because of it.

You think it's a brilliant pick but you will have to wait and see what the rest of voting America thinks. THEY may not agree with you. Says you. Get a life, we just elected McCain/Palin to the Presidency.

Speaking as a former smug liberal atheist (are there any other kinds?), I’m thrilled. Social conservativism is a woman-friendly philosophy. Social liberalism throws women (and their children, born or unborn) to the wolves. She will help spread that message to families everywhere.

Alll she will have to do is compliment Sen. Biden about what a thought provoking statement he just made — and then add with a question — “who was that that said that before?”
What caught my attention was the crowd chanting USA-USA-USA and not Obama-Obama.
To: onlylewis
The comments at the end of this story are pitiful. One guy even suggested that there was a connection between Palin's selection and the fact that her husband was an employee of BP. Heck, at least he works at an honest job. What does Michelle Obama do again?
The Rats are truly in a tizz over McCain's piece of brilliance this morning.
