Well, I guess we’ll just have to see who gets elected won’t we.
In a word, it says he's a grown-up.
And has incredible instincts.
Well, the Andrea Yates wing of the democrat party sure is upset about a pro-life female running for national office.
No, it means only one thing:
McCain’s slightly less of an ass than I’d thought.
My brother, who worked very high up in the RNC and has been involved in the news media and top level Republican campaigns for 20 years, told me that when he looks at these jiggered polls and their internals, he wouldn't be surprised if McCain were actually ahead by 10 points, and that was before the Palin pick energized conservatives, sportsmen and women. The attacks on her just reemphasize the Dems' sexism and their own candidate's total lack of executive experience, the two things they most wanted to bury. I was going to hold my nose and vote for McCain, but I just got on his website and sent money, and trust me, I ain't the only one.

Do Jim and John write anything on their own? They make such a sweet couple.
You've got to be kidding! Both comments point to the lack of experience, yet Obama has 145 days of federal legislative experience and most of that consisted of voting "Present" rather than "Yea" or "Nay" since he has no spine. Neither Obama nor Biden have any executive experience, yet McCain and Palin both do. To me the choice is extremely well thought out and augers well to win back some conservatives who don't like McCain's "leaning across the isle".
if mcCain is desperate then why are the libs attacking Palin’s kids?
Alaska is a huge state in area. The logistics of managing such a wide expansive area with incredible weather conditions, would be an impressive accomplishment for any governor. Being the mayor of little Wasilla may seem like an easy matter, but when it is in Alaska, you have larger problems than anywhere on Earth. It is time to take a reality pill and stop underrating Sarah Palin.
These guys are ex-Washington Post politburo members.
This ploy proves it.
Actually the writer is wrong on all the experience points. She has more experience than O’Bama and that experience is far more relevant to running a government than anything that Hussein has been or done unless competence in Chicago ways and means is pertinent to the White House. It is not a non-issue because every time it is raised the comparison is inevitably and disadvantageously with Hussein. The other guy on the Democrat ticket now doesn’t even count. He might as well be a cardboard cutout.
Someone is desperate, but I'm not convinced it's the man who made a better pick than Biden or either voters' choice.
Four presidents generally ranked in the top fifteen by historians have had experience comparable to Governor Palins prior to assuming office: Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Grover Cleveland.
Sarah Palin spent four years as a City Council Member for Wasilla, Alaska, two years as Mayor of Wasilla, and two years as Governor of Alaska.
FDR spent just over two years in the New York State Senate, eight years as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and four years as Governor of New York.
Theodore Roosevelt spent some time in the New York State Assembly(?), two years as Governor of New York, two years as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and less than one year as Vice President of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson spent eight years as President of Princeton University and two years as Governor of New Jersey.
Grover Cleveland spent two years as Sheriff of Erie County, two years as Mayor of Buffalo, and two years as Governor of New York.
Overall, Id say that Palins background is comparable with that of several presidents considered highly successful, even considering that her state has a smaller population than the other two states on the list.
In contrast, I was unable to find a single President of the United States who had a complete absence of executive experience and as little legislative experience as Obamas four years in the United States Senate after eight years in the state senate. While there were several presidents with experience comparable to Bidens 25 years in the United States Senate, his notable accomplishments tend to be in the direction of millions of dollars per year in earmarks for his district rather than reducing wasteful spending or fighting corruption in either his own party or in Washington as a whole.
While Obama has been running for office for as long as Palin has been running a state, I find it hard to consider the two tasks as comparable preparation.
One final note: I will be posting this multiple times because I think it is important to get the word out that that her experience is in keeping with previous presidents. I apologize to those who are annoyed by seeing it too often.
Just a little scared I would say.McCain knocked it out of the park with the Palin choice for VP and the commies damned well know it.I bet there is some heavy pity drinking going on in the rat camp.
Bye bye politikook.
