Elections are won in the center not the base
I'm much more interested in how this choice goes with independents and Regan democrats
They outnumber the Base by a significant amount
The fact that evangelicals love this choice scares me.
A cool moment was when Palin said something about standing up the to the good old boy network and someone in the crowd yelled “you go girl!”.
bump
Behind every man there is always a better woman supporting him.
She will be everything Chaney wasn’t, like in the media, I swear I have not seen him in years on any issue whatever.
This is the change we have been waiting for.
Go McCain/Palin.
Translation: "The elitist, blue-blood, country club repewbicans are scared." How scared? Depends.....
The best comment I saw was on some PUMA site:
When I look at ObamaBiden I see two lawyers,
When I look at McCainPalin I see a soldier and a mother
To get fired up takes hotness, and we got it!
They were, if you will, fired up and ready to go.

Hey dems are coming over in droves too. Palin connects with alot of people, across all kinds of lines.
Biden-Palin Fantasy Debate Part I by Nikos1121
HOST: Senator, Biden, are you still againt drilling?
BIDEN: Yes. My opponent, Mzzz Palins, I know feels differently, but the fact is, drilling today will not result in any more oil to the consumer or drop in gas prices for at least ten years. The effect on or natural wildlife and environment also needs to be taken into consideration. The drilling in Mzzzz Palinzes own state has been castatrophic. Have we forgotton the Valdez Oil spill? No, we need to be creative in finding energy alternatives and not just add more revenues in the coffers of Mzzz Palinzes’ friends at BP, Exxon and Shell. And BTW, President McCain...I mean Senator McCain also opposes drilling in ANWR.
HOST: Govenor Palin, response?
PALIN: I didn’t know that I’ve become two people. (laughing) The Alaska Oil Pipe Line has been in existence for over 30 years. It’s brought over 15 BILLION barrels of oil to our people. It has done so in a way that not only protected wildlife and the environment but carabou herds have actually flourished during this time. Politicians at the time, such as Senator Biden were AGAINST the Alaskan Pipeline and in fact, voted against it.
BIDEN: That’s a lie. That’s not true.
PALIN: Excuse me Senator, but that is not a lie. You voted against the Alaska Pipeline.
BIDEN: I voted for it.
PALIN: Senator, you may have changed your vote in the end after the measure passed, so that you were on the winning side, but initially you spoke out and voted against the pipeline. This is fact not fantasy. May I continue? Oil spills are always a potential problem, but they account for less than 1% of our ocean’s oil pollution. The vast majority comes from our own planet through underwater oil seapage. Lastly, I’ve worked closely with several countries and companies, in tapping trillions...yes trillions of natural gas that lies in Alaska. This is clean, cheap and available energy. The effects on our economy and energy reserves will be immediat. The revenues from which can be used to discover new sources of energy. And BTW Senator, Shell Oil and others you mentioned paid over $11 billion dollars in taxes last year. Alaska alone received over $10 billion dollars in oil revenues last year. If we were to follow the lead of the democratic party our country would never have drilled for oil 30 years ago in Alaska.
HOST: Senator Biden points out that Senator McCain opposes drillng in ANWR which is in your state. Do you agree with him?
PALIN: Senator McCain is four square behind drilling for oil in Alaska. He has definite concerns about drilling on federal grounds there. He’s an environmentalist of the first magnitude, and I’ve had lively discussions with him on this issue. I’ve learned some things from him and he’s learned things from me. When he’s convinced that our nation’s refuges are safe he will NOT be opposed to drilling in ANWR, an area which is less than the size of Disneyland I might add.
