Latest news is that McCain might make his Veep pick before the end of the Democrat convention.

If McCain intends to pick a woman, then that might cause a ruckus in the Dem's convention among the pro-Clinton faction.

Just a thought.

If she’s as good as she seems, she’ll decline VP to finish what she’s doing. She’ll be available in 2012 though...

I don’t think people see her as experienced yet. Considering McCain’s age, this would be a serious problem. Would she be ready to step in if something happens to McCain? Maybe, maybe not, but the perception would probably be ‘not’.

I think she’s great, and I’d like to see her on a ticket with Jindal. The only problem I have is I’m not decided whether she should be the top of the ticket or not.

Let her finish her term as governor.

Well I still think Mitt Romney is the logical choice for VP but if McCain feels he must have a woman on the ticket, I feel better about this here Palin woman than the woman from Texas (Hutchison).

But now that the powers-that-be in the Democratic party have selected Methuselah of Delaware to be the VP, the pressure is off for McCain to counter with a woman of his own.

You want extensive experience in major elective office? She ain't got it.
You want experience in foreign affairs? She ain't got it.
You want experience in national security matters? She ain't got it.

McCain is making a lot of hay out of Obama's inexperience and lack of qualifications for the presidency. He loses that by selecting a veep even less qualified that his opponent is.

The person I want as VP will have the fortitude to nuke Tehran and not bat an eye nor care what world opinion thinks. That goes double for the POTUS.

Give her a few years of executive experience and get back to me. I don’t question her conservative credentials, but I have serious reservations about her ability to be POTUS.

McCain might get my vote with Palin on the ticket. He can forget it with Romney though. ;)

A rising star indeed. And for that very reason she should decline the position if offered. Why should she forever tie herself to John McCain? That could be a career ender.
She would be better off waiting a short while getting more time in getting more experience and more attention.

If you want a win in November - Palin is your woman :-)

What an historic and exciting election it would be as well. The dems with the possibility of the first black president and the pubbies with the possibility of the first female VP.

There are a lot more women in this country than there are blacks :-)

Palin has 16 years in the oil patch and will be Sec of the Interior.

For what my 2 cents is worth around here, she’s my favorite, hands down.

Proving a negative.

Bad argument form.
