Let's see.......I got a quarter, 2 dimes and 3 pennies.  Is that enough change?

Exactly right, Obama's first decision was all about politics as usual - he picked a guy who has been in the Senate since Nixon's presidency. McCain, shook things up and walked the walk as he always has. Luckily, the core base of the party who still think Bush is the greatest President since Abraham Lincoln didn't get Romney or things wouldn't look as good right now.

Mari told me this news today over a chat program...she's in San Diego at the moment.  A better chess move in politics I haven't seen in a while.

I had to laugh.  It was a brilliant move indeed.

If by change you mean an inexperienced untested politician who's only other experience is 2 years as governer of Alaska, one of the least populated states in the union, and the mayor of a town of 6,700.

Don't you people think its funny that McCain has been attacking Obama for lack of experience, yet he picks a person for VP with even less?

"and is not a hardened old school politician" Hahahahahah. Oh my god I couldn't stop laughing. See my above post

Palin has MORE experience than Obama in that she's held an executive position and done so successfully.  She's also been an elected official fo 13 years and by looking at her history, she comes very well rounded and a high achiever as well.  She will do a fine job. 

All we need is four years.  McCain is a brand new 72.  Not as old as some have been holding the highest position in their land and he seems well enough right now to do the job.  I mean, anything can happen, she could die of a stroke or plane crash just as well.  We don't know how long any of us has on this earth. 

Besides she's a very tough nut (her dad said) and is no pushover.  I'm sure if anything happens to McCain, she will get the best advisors around her just like past Presidents have done and make a decison based on their advice, just as past Presidents have done.

Biden, on the other hand, is a hypocrite.  I would rather vote for a classy brainy well spoken honest woman than an old time hypocrite who doesn't stay true to his beliefs and is the same old same old in Washington.

If the choice for President was Palin vs Obama I would take Palin... She has more experience and a long list of real accomplishments.

 Governer of a state with a 1.2 people per square mile (compared to I dunno washington station with a 88.6 people per square mile) and mayor of small town of 6,700 is probably the least amount of experience of vp canidates in modern history.  Whereas Obama has served as a civil rights lawyer and Constitution Law Teacher at one of the most prestegious law schools of all time, a State  senator for 7 years and a US Senator for 4 years.  If you have ever studied history one of the greatest presidents of all time Abe Lincoln had even less experience.

Well proof is in the pudding.  While Obama TALKS BIG about change his first big decision was anything BUT change.

While quietly in the background McCain's first decision was  a BIG CHANGE.  And by the way Palin kicked the corruption out of her state, I'd say she's one for change as well.  She is anything but the "same old, same old." 

And please stop patting yourself and McCain on the Back. It's pretty pathetic and adds nothing to the debate.

But apparently not for president as we see in Obama.

C'mon man just pay attention
