From the PUMA site, Hillaryis44.com
Quick thoughts in one paragraph:
This is a shocking and brilliant choice by McCain. McCain/Palin announce in must-win OHIO. Stomps out the Obama funeral story. If McCain does not run for re-election the 44 year old Palin will be the Republican nominee in 2012. If the Democrats can be bought back to life after they are destroyed in NOvember and in 2010 they will have to nominate a women to run against Palin in 2012. Hillary. Yes, Hillary. Palin will help win women around the country. Palin will help with women in the Philadelphia suburbs. Ohio and Michigan and Pennsylvania will likely go with NRA member and hunter Palin. The Republican Party is now 100% unified and not in a fake way. The Republicans are showing they once again know how to run an election. This is a shocking announcement with not much of a buildup (most thought it would be dull Romney, Pawlenty, or generic white male) which compares brilliantly against the trumpted weeks long hype of the Obama campaign - a big buildup for a dud. Women will savage the Democratic Party and Obama/Dean/Brazile/Pelosi for their sexism and misogyny. Palin, whose political views we do not share, is well-spoken and articulate and tough. Palin is a maverick hated by the Alaska Republican Party because she has challenged them on ethics. Hillarys 18 million voters (many disenfranchised by the Democratic(?) Party) will determine this election and they just have by rejection of Obama/Dean/Brazile/Pelosi. The upcoming hurricane is potentially good news for McCain/Palin and not a problem if they use it to advantage. McCain/Palin can contrast their care by either postponing the Republican convention (which helps with financing a shorter general election season and gaining additional days of Republican control of the news cycles) or they can actually demonstrate they care by going to New Orleans or whereever the hurricane hits. McCain has made a big bold amazing pick which knocks Obamas fake campaign to the dirt - buried.]
Female Democrats in New England are spitting blood over McCain’s choice of Palin. Good.
This really puts the McCain ad of last night in perspective. Obama you have your day today, but tomorrow we begin. Bang!
I’m not surprised that DUh is exploding. I said in post#470 that they were going to be apoplectic this weekend, and for the next two months.
This is an absolutely brilliant person to elevate to the national spotlight.
It is going to take Hitlery completely out of the limelight, too!
How do you think that will play in rural Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan?
Did anyone else notice how ‘fidgety’ Mac was while Palin was giving her speech? Twisting his ring..picking at his fingers..
The dude was HIGHLY nervous. (Guess rightly so).
That said, I am GEEKED BEYOND WORDS that it is Palin. For the first time, I think we might just take this thing.
There’s a bigger story at play here..the oxygen (which was thin enough at Mile High last night) has been completely sucked out of the Obama speech from last night.
There’s not a single talking head on the news channels that are talking about the Obama speech.
They accept PayPal, just made another donation. Took about two minutes to complete.
I’m beside myself over this...I’m really so, soooooooo proud of McCain for making this choice. Brilliant!
This is why we should NEVER say NEVER. Because I said I would NEVER donate or work for John McCain, but that I would grudgingly vote for him.
Just sent my first donation to McC :)
She also heads off Hillary 2012.
O-o-bomma!
O-o-bomma!
Hey, hey, hey, goo-ood-bye!
Nah, nah, nah, nah,
Nah, nah, nah, nah,
Hey, hey, hey, goo-ood-bye!
I know!! I feel like, for the first time, somebody in the Republican Party actually HEARD ME!!
A strong, conservative, pro-gun pro-life military mom WOMAN!!

Its a visit to hell....and I am not kidding. Thank you for your sacrifice.
It’s okay if she did flub his middle initial...Biden said “Barak Americk” was the next President.
Why didn't I think of that?
I have nothing but admiration for the Palins and I am actually for just about the first time proud of John McCain.
I see you got your talking points memo.
