Another great PUMA comment: “If this is true, this moves me from staying at home to voting McCain.”

[retrokitten]

All I’ve got right now is what’s been on the news, she calls herself a “hockey mom” and that she has played hockey as well.

Bye Bye Bama Bounce!

I agree that McCain has changed the entire dynamic of the race. It was a brilliant stroke!

+1 to that. McCain has changed the dynamic of this campaign with this pick. It will energize the base as no other pick would. To be honest, I didn't think McCain would do this, but props to him. This took really big stones to do, but if we know anything about McCain, he's got guts.

Sarah and Todd Palin

[onemiddleamerican]

Could they go any lower??

Yes.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) has been on MSNBC for the past five minutes, positively apoplectic over the choice of Sara Palin; says she has no experience, has a cloud of corruption surrounding her regarding a family member and a job, what possible experience does she have to take over as president if McCain dies... and on and on.

Now some male talking head is insulting the choice.

It must be a stroke of genius, this pick, if all the leftwing media heads are going full-tilt into attack mode so soon.

[CottonBall]

from what I read about her, she sounds just like a female McCain, and that ain’t necessarily a good thing.

Is she for amnesty? I was worried since Alaska is a sanctuary state.

[Yossarian]

HOPE ITS PALIN, I WOULD VOTE TWICE JUST TO STICK IT TO OBAMA

Hey, and they're Democrats - they actually have experience voting twice!

(Meanwhile on CSPAN at the McCain Rally they have a local Dayton rock band playing a dreary tune or two....)

[rep-always]

I agree with you. Her husband is very cute.

[Veto!]

appeal to Hillary supporters who think sexism cost her the nomination, and consolidate large swaths of the conservative base.

I can attest to that. As a rather old broad I have my share of feminist sympathies and the way the media and BarakHussein treated Hillary felt like a knife to the heart. Not that I would have voted for her, but I really felt her pain and the pain of other women who felt dissed once again--and in the supposedly enlightened 21st century. You bet women will be drawn to a McCain/Palin ticket.

The other interesting thing is,many if not most women who mourned the loss of nomination for Hil are middle aged and older, not attracted to rock star types, but to older guys like McCain. So on two fronts, McCain-Palin will sop up the gravy of disenfranchised Hillary voters.

<>AND what does being an Eskimo mean????

Don't ask me. I don't care if he's an Eskimo, and I certainly wouldn't rely on "Wiki" for any factual information. My question was: "So what if he's an Eskimo?"

[SE Mom]

Great interview with Larry Kudlow and Sarah Palin here- and- she OPPOSES McCain on ANWR- she is in FAVOR of ANWR!!

I’ve already called them twice. The person on the phone hung up on me the first call. I called back and talked to a HR manager. They took my name and number and apologized but I told them that they had bigger fish to fry because their guy just offended MOTHERS, FAMILES OF SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS and WOMEN!
She was shocked that he actually said those words.

[Jim Noble]

"Hey Barry! Bet you're wondering?"
"Wondering what?"
"Who's the best pilot!"

The attack jet pilot has REALLY come to play.

He's so far inside the RAT-MSM OODA loop they can't even see him.

Good for you, Senator!

I just put my money where my keyboard is ... contribute now!

EXCERPT

Track is a former Alaska All Stars hockey player who also played junior hockey in Michigan during part of his senior year, according to Leighow.

The reasons why he enlisted and why he signed his military contract on the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were unavailable Wednesday.

FReeper poll ping to you

[JRochelle]

Ken Salazaar, Dem senator from Colorado just said on MSNBC that this shows a lack of good judgement on the part of McCain because we have never heard of her before.

Ken Salazaar, you are an ignorant bastard. Buggar off, bozo.
