Sarah Palin is McCain's Pick

Pretty smart.  I mean, now it forces America to vote for either a black man OR a woman.  And I don't know how it is where you live, but in my extended family that's A BIIIIG DEAL.

I like this idea. It will put the Obama camp in an uncomfortable position because so many Democrats liked Hillary "because" she was a woman; to still give them that option as a VP may prove to be a tempting choice for those who refuse to accept Obama over Hillary.

Fox News confirmed....it's Palin!  A VP pick with more experience than Obama.  LOL.

Still opposite sides of the ticket.  I am sure many faux "NOW" members will use that as their lame excuse.

And because of Obama, they cannot "Quayle" her!

I said this months ago, that McCain needed to pick a younger, conservative woman.  Thankfully he listened to my advice.

The funny thing is I just heard the Obama campaign saying she is inexperienced.  What?  She is more experienced than Obama.  She doesn't have to hide her background like Obama did last night.

The bill in the mail?  Consulting is a lucrative business. 

So far I really like her, and man I think whoever is advising McCain is S-M-A-R-T!

I can honestly say, today I will actually feel GOOD about voting for McCain.  (Before I was resigned, mostly because of his immigration ideas.)

After the messiahs speech last night, I now give McCain my full support.

I think she was a good pick.  I guess McCain keeps his maverick street cred - lol.   It surprised me but I think it will be interesting. 

I wasn't able to see the speech.  I'll check it out on youtube eventually.  I could only take one night of American Idol, and I took it the first.

For a change the Republicans like the streak.

I'm disapponted 'cause I was holding out for Condoleezza Rice...

But that hasn't stopped them from trying...

And it has not taken them long.  But I have noticed that everything they try, is bouncing back on them many fold.  This one will as well - Inexperience?  Do you want it with a finger on the button?  Or in training for a day that hopefully never comes?  Vote for real experience.

I have to laugh at the whole "she has no experience" strategy from the DNC, I mean, what VP choice has any presidential experience?  That is why Governors are popular candidates for president, it is the closest thing to "on the job training" for presidents.

It tells me the DNC really doesn't know where to go with this choice.  I mean, they have an nominee who has basically no experience at all who admitted it by choosing a running mate with years and years in Washington... then they point their fickle fingers at McCain saying his VP choice is too inexperienced?  What better "career ladder" is there than moving from Governor to VP?  She's young yet, but in 4-8  years she will be in her prime (presidentially speaking).

The Democrats better come up with a better talking point than one that can so easily be put back in their faces.

Anyone who votes just for any of these reasons shouldn't be voting, really. 

Only now am I proud to be a republican....

I was realy losing it after mccain got the nomination... now i'm comming back.

Something I suspect the Democrats were not counting on. Now Obama and crew are all of the sudden worried about the experience factor! Gimme a break!

I wonder how this will influence voters that were supportive of Clinton?

I think McCain made a gutsy and smart choice.

I like her!  I think they should let her do more speaking than McCain.  I think the Dems putting her down for coming from a small town is going to come back to bite them.  Are they saying you can't do great things just because you're from a small town?

I look forward to the VP debate!  I hope Palin pushes Biden's buttons and makes him foam at the mouth!

Elvee:

Apparently they figure that the VP needs to be more experienced than the President.  lol

Absolutely.

This is the democrats tactics for this week:

Attack her stance on creationism.

Attack her stance on polar bears.

Attack her experience.

All will fail.  Democrats are really surprised that Obama isn't 20 points ahead in the polls, and they are even more dumbfounded that not everyone cares for the messiah.

No, they HAVE to say that - because it is their ticket.  Now they see the problems with it.

The whole black man vs. woman thing didn't work out very well for the woman last time, though...

One thing that gets me about the Dems is I guess they are saying they need any old Dem in the White House.  Hillary was totally against Obama's policies but now that he won the nomination she has to say to vote for him because they need a Democrat...any old one will due.

I'm far from religious right wing so there are plenty of beliefs I don't share with that part of the party.  I am, however, for less government and more personal responsibility.  That is something I am getting from McCain Palin where there is quite the opposite coming from Obama.  I don't need a government to rule me like messiah Obama wants to.  I don't need an benevolant dictator.  I want, as Palin said, government that leads with a "servants heart".
