(to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain't run nothin' but his mouth.

Preach it, brother!

Where has Steyn been? I haven’t seen his columns in a while.

He makes great points though.

We have more “real experience” on the bottom of our ticket than the Dims have on the top of their ticket.

All hail the Mighty Steyn!

Mark's OK with the pick. On with the campaign!

I wouldn't get carried away with the naughty librarian bit - Mr. Palin looks like a nice guy, but one that can take care of business.

Obama......looks like just another creepily self-absorbed lifelong member of the full-time political class that infests every advanced democracy.

That's going to leave a mark.....

I might add Biden fits right in there in the self-absorbed category

Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are more or less the same age, but Governor Palin has run a state and a town and a commercial fishing operation, whereas (to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain't run nothin' but his mouth.

Great line.

Whenever Senator Obama attempts anything non-political (such as bowling), he comes over like a visiting dignitary to a foreign country getting shanghaied into some impenetrable local folk ritual.

Almost peed in my pajamas!

Hyper-American, indeed!

And here's a video showing that NRA Lifetime Member & Commander of the Alaska National Guard Governor Palin knows what the 2nd Amendment is for:

What other country in the developed world produces beauty queens who hunt caribou and serve up a terrific moose stew? As an immigrant, I'm not saying I came to the United States purely to meet chicks like that, but it was certainly high on my list of priorities.
