Palin has lost most of her gains on intrade.

It’s so volitle it’s incredible.

Still could be her.

[ari-freedom]

ugh...I'd actually vote for Obama if mccain picked Rice.

[Fundamentally Fair]

Man, the rumers are flying tonight! Well, one of them might be right.

You know it!

[ari-freedom]

remember, history will only be made by picking the first female politician who is hot

[Crawdad]

Following the planes.

Now you guys know what happens when Alabama picks a new football coach.

[Migraine]

Oh please, oh please, oh please.... Palin would be as close to a slam-dunk pick as one could make. Conservatives love her, female Clinton voters would love her, the American people would love her... The appeal in picking her over Mitt Romney is beyond words.

You and I see it exactly alike.

Pretty hard to pick a 2-year small state governor with only local experience before that, when campaigning against Obama’s inexperience — and while McCain has said over and over that he wants someone first of all, who can step in if anything were to happen to him.

I can't see it coming back to bite McCain - how are the Dims and the MSM going to attack her short experience as a VP pick when she has more than the Dim Prez pick? It would be a beautiful thing to watch because I'm convinced they're stupid enough to go there...

[cdnerds]

Fox news was talking about this.. THIS WOULD STUN the Obamanation camp... a haymaker... a wild punch that could be a KO... I like this lady...

If you get a tip of the planes number you can enter it in to the system and watch its progress. That is if a flight plan was entered and opened.
A jet going from Alaska to the continental U.S. would have to have filed a flight plan.
Better that the rest whose names have been floated, Pawlenty, Huckabee, Christ, and a whole host of RINOs.

[snarkytart]

When were they discussing it?

[AirForceGeorge]

Ok here’s a theory people. McCain has a bunch of prospects come to Dayton (including Palin). Tomorrow he will announce his pick and introduce the entire bunch of them. He will then announce that the GOP delegates will get to choose from this approved slate of VP candidates. They will all do the swing state tour together.

This would be a media bonanza. Not for the entire weekend alone. It would make the GOP convention a smash hit. The balloting could be spread over days with drama unfolding nightly. The bargaining, deals, speeches etc would create the kind of convention not seen since days gone by. Ratings through the roof and in the end a consensus GOP VP pick with an energized party.

Jeez. If this isn’t the plan I think it should be!

If McCain wanted he could lobby quietly for Lieberman. If he wins then he has obvously avoided a revolt.

[Shqipo]

You can argue that Governor Palin has less experience than Biden, but not less than “community organizer” Obama. This pick would work wonderfully.

Ya know... this kinda feels right. Everythings tougher up in Alaska.

Oh, no! The Texans on this board are going to be pissed at you.

[ari-freedom]

Texas

Alaska

...work for his campaign too.

If Palin is VP I'll work for the campaign on the outside chance I'd get a pic of her with me...maybe a handshake..or hug...or kiss...I'd NEVER bath again!

Not that I do much now...sigh.

Hey, I agree with you. It’s just that the Texans on this board think the world begins with a T and ends with an s.

[Enchante]

Alaska vs. Hawaii

I’ll take Alaska!! :^)

[ari-freedom]

well, that idea is full of something that begins with an s and ends with a T!

[Enchante]

OK, let’s be a little bit more complete on candidates’ geographical backgrounds:

Arizona/Alaska vs. Hawaii/Illinois with that little piss-ass state of Delaware thrown in.....

I’ll definitely take Arizona/Alaska anytime!!

[prisoner6]

There ya go...crush my hopes and dreams of getting close to Palin. Does make sense though and would be a media feeding. I doubt Palin would come out on top though.
