I like what I’ve seen so far.

I predict that she is going to have a future in national politics, even if Obama/Biden win this election. Sarah is going to make quite an impression in this campaign. And even if she and McCain go down to defeat, she is a rising star in the Republican party.

While I dont like the idea of a woman running the country, she is a far more better choice than any of the communists that are being presented by the democratic party.

And she has integrity, something that everyone else on both tickets lacks.

I am afraid that if she is not already a pawn of the globalist elite she soon will be. I will pray for her. And I will vote for John McCain/Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin is at least a Reagan Republican.

Palin is a pro-life mother of four

Uh, that's FIVE, not four!

One might well make an argument that there exists an Integrity Gap vis a vis Palin and Biden, with Biden coming up very short indeed.

by her very presence, she has given new life to the question of integrity.

That's not an overstatement. ...and that's precisely why we're witnessing this high level of enthusiasm.

You’re right. Surprised that this author made that mistake.

Yesterday, Zero lost this election. [Realize that a candidate always has a jump in the polls after their convention...Zero got NO jump whatsoever.] McCain will win by a landslide.

Very accurate assessment, and many here probably had the same thought as did I. Win or lose, Sarah Palin will be a rising star in the Republican Party! : )

Well said. I applaud Sarah Palin for being able to juggle so many roles in life and for doing so with teamwork within her family.

And the huge increase in donations, too.

Yet picking a serial plagiarist is viewed by the beltway as a better pick for VP.

Margaret Thatcher being only one good counter-example of just how wrong you are on this.

As a Dad of two women (who both currently happen to wear our fine Country's uniform) I suggest to you that there are many, many good and capable women.

Please do not judge all women in politics by the Marxist, feminist Hillary Rodhams, Nancy Pelosis, and Barbara Boxers.

My fear is that the establishment in washington will destroy anyone that gets in their way. They will try to trap her, and if they can't they will frame her. Lots of honorable people go to washington, not too many come back.

Sorry, I am a devout Christian. A woman should not be usurping authority over a man. But don't worry I hate the communists and gangsters in the Democratic party far worse than I dislike the idea of a woman occupying the VP spot. So McCain has my vote.

Look if you want to submit your authority to the women in your family thats your business. There are a lot of American men that do that. And its one of the reasons why we will fall as a nation.

I heard about Sarah Palin months ago and I thought she would be a great choice. I also thought it would never happen, too much to hope for.
Now that it's happened, I'm really offended by the spin of choosing her because she's a woman. I think if we can be color-blind that we can also be gender-blind.
If the governor of Alaska was a man or black or hispanic with the same integrity and accomplishments, I would support them as excitedly as I support her.
IMHO, she's the real deal and I see her on the top of the ticket in 2012.

Not with this lady’s integrity.

McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry couldn’t convince enough decent people that they should “have less”, and bums and deviates and people like those seen in screen shots posted here on FR in attendance at the DemCon should “have more.” A lot of people understand that an ObamaNation would be a whole lot like an Abomination. BTW a guy posting on Capitol Grilling, using the screenname Groucho Marx, used a term I like: Defeatocrats.

Apologies, my FRiend, for seeming argumentative, but this is ridiculous.
