Hutchison’s pro-choice. Otherwise, I like most of her positions on the issues of concern and she’s got both legislative and executive experience.

Then I think we should chatter “PALIN!” louder.
That pick doesn’t excite me. I hope he chooses more wisely.
She has said that she does not want it. But then, so did Biden!
That might be the way to go! If he picks Romney, it could sink the ticket.
Chatter. Just chatter.
Love him or hate him, Mitt Romney is clearly the most competent person in many years to offer his services for the Presidency, even though he was spurned, for facetious reasons that had no basis in fact. It is time to cut the smart-aleck remarks, and get down to the real business of studying the POSITIVE aspects of what Mitt can bring to the table.
Business acumen. Impeccable personal life. Successful management of a most intractable sort of state government, wrangling concessions and creating workable compromises from a hostile legislature. And he has amassed a considerable fortune through his own initiative, a feat once regarded as the best of the American Dream.
Meh.
I like her and Palin well enough - but not for President.
Getting a woman for the sake of getting a woman is something liberals do.
If it's anybody else, I will vote for them, but I will continue giving nothing to them or the RNC.
I think I'll kind of miss it. ;-)
Granted they are two remarkable and accomplished women, but I just do not see them as being tough with our foes. The part of the world that we are dealing with and having the most trouble with just does not respect and will not take seriously a woman leader. Duncan Hunter would be an excellent choice but pander-gender politics is strangling this country./Just Asking - seoul62.....
From what I have seen, I like Palin. But in my view she is too green to be VP. However, considering that Obama was a comunity organizer before being nominated to be POTUS, she does have more executive management experience than the Dem. nominee!
Rick Perry is in favor of it!!
Come on, she's a terrible pick, now John Cornyn would be alright.
Someone not from Texas might be a better idea politically. No offense meant to Texas, just sayin’...Bush fatigue...tying McCain to Bush, etc.
KBH will definitely help McCain in Texas! </sarc>
Dear God, no... we don’t need pepaw/memaw 2008!
Darn it, if only the Repubs could find a black, Jewish woman, we’d have the election in the bag!
She is too DC oriented. As a member of the spineless republican senate club she needs to start fighting there.
