IF it were the plot of a political movie, it'd be too cheesy to watch. An obscure governor of a small state, a working mom of five, is secretly spirited to a political rally four months after giving birth to her latest child and named the running mate on a national ticket as the country watches, agog.
But there she was, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, trailing four of her kids (the other is in the Army and about to deploy to Iraq) and her husband - a young, attractive mother hen about to stand next to war hero and elder statesman John McCain and make their case for leading the nation.
What a gutsy choice. It's the latest sign McCain's campaign won't play Bob Dole to Barack Obama's Bill Clinton circa 1996.
It's as if McCain said, after the suspenseful build-up to the text message announcing Obama's VP choice, "You want suspense? I'll give you suspense." And, after Democrats' history-making primary battle, wanted some history of his own.

I think Jennifer Lopez should buy the rights to the movie, quick!!
Catherine Zeta-Jones could play her in a heartbeat.
According to John Fund on Gigot’s Fox program - Palin fired the Governor’s chef because “her children could fix their own breakfast and sandwiches” .....and she also sold the Governor’s jet on EBay;)
My kind of gal!
Love this woman - McCain has excellent judgement.
EXCELLENT!
johnny mccan’t sure has changed my view of him.
He might just win this and govern the way palin has.
I don’t think “Obambi” ever expected to be confronting two experienced hunters. We all know John McCain was a fighter pilot and Sarah Palin, well she is a hunter and her family eats what she kills!
Yes, they are both hunters and understand the tactics of hunting and the time it takes to get into position to bag your prey. This is going to be a very interesting fight!
Get the f*ck out of the limelight, you two bit fake.
The longer I look at Gov. Sarah Palin the better she looks to me, and she carries none of that terrible Obama baggage.
“”””An obscure governor of a small state”””””
An obvious qualification to be a nationally known journalist is to have failed geography in elementary school.
*cheesy* - I missed that nasty term - NYP should have used “improbable”.
I take it you are not an Obama supporter?
LOL! Excellent editing;)
White Guilt made Oprah what she is today!!
You really have got to be completely stoned ignorant to sit and watch a loon running her mouth all day!
Just imagine if all the women in the USA had spent the time listening to a professor on some subject that would improve their lives and never watched Oprah we would be living in a much better world.
mother hen? more like momma bear.
I’m sure he was referring to population, not area. Politicians think in terms of voters.
“mother hen? more like momma bear.”
Sarah Palin doesn’t need a nickname, as she already has one.
They call her “The Barracuda”.
Those who have fought against her know exactly why, too.
What’s great about Palin she lives what she believes. Another example against abortion and she lives by it. Knowing her last son had down syndrome she refused to have an abortion.
Now I won’t need to hold my nose so hard win I vote for McCain, because Obama is just down right scrary.
i love how the MSM and obama cheerleaders are pointing to her “lack of experience”, indirectly they are pointing out their own, “the one’s” lack of experience
she has more than obama
THANK GOD
