What lack of experiance? She is head and shoulders above Osama Obama and Joe Biden. Being a lowely senator is nothing, she even has McCain beat in the political end of things. She has at least run a state even if not for long. Longer than Obama was a senator before he announced he was running. She has handled large work forces, large budgets and large problems. At the end where the buck stops. None of the other 3 people on this ticket has done that. As to military experiance, again she outshines Obama/Biden. She is Commander and Chief of the Alaska National Guard. Not for long, but 100% more time in a position like that commpared to Obama/Biden. Layoutshooter

And that's what was wrong with this election from the beginning. Some people will be voting for Barry because he's black. Period. That would have happened if Hillary got the nomination. It's skin pigmentation or gender. Issues? Secondary...
Yeah, totally mindless. Good point, Highway.

I like this Lady! She'll wipe the floor with Biden in the debate, showing him for the spoiled, frustrated little boy that he is.

ok i was suprised. from the little i've heard so far might be a good choice.

now has anybody else noticed the 'funny' part.

obama - young no job qualifications biden - older than dirt insider

mccain - older than dirt 'insider' palin young - few job qualifications

obama chose biden to 'get qualified' with those who question his experience.

mccain chose palin to 'get qualified' with those who question his (age) experience.

In an earlier post Ark wrote: "I could just see them wanting to see a woman, any woman, become at least VP so she would have a better shot at President." Ark, I think a better choice of words might be "a better chance" at President. The word "shot" might give some loonies ideas, not that some people need ideas put in their stupid heads. Oh, by the way. If we don't vote for Obama, we're racist. If we don't vote for McCain, we're probably sexist.

I think she is a good choice. she is a true conservative that mccain isn't. She is the constitutionalist, that mccain isn't. She is for removing illegal immigrates, that mccain isn't. She isn't a career politician, and she isn't worried about taking on the republican party, she has as many issues with the alaskian republican party as she does with the demos up there.

She is a regular person and I don't think the washington elite will be able to corrupt her, and i don't see her just "blending into the woodwork" and doing what she is told. She will carve herself a nitch and she will do a good job.

I think the "party" choose her as a pawn and believe that she will "go along to get along", but i don't think the party has thought too much about the voters she will draw that mccain wouldn't have gotten, like the true conservatives. And those voters will allow her to have a bigger voice in decisions then the party might have thought.

All of that being said, it doesn't change a **** thing about mccain, he is still a RINO, he still lacks true conservatism, on constitutionalism. And he will still screw the american people over to be a " middle of the road" canidate.

I'll still be writing in Ron Paul, but since i know not enough for him to win will, so she is a good pick and just might be reason enough to get mccain elected.

Ron Paul sounded good till I read his views on the military and forigien. Not a clue on what the world is like. Sounds like he is as good as Obama on that subject. Like his ideas on health care a lot. Put him in charge of that. Of couse, health care is not the job of the president or the government. Layoutshooter

Ron Pauls weak foreign policy (his intervention and use of militaty force, or the lack there of) is the one area I totally disagree with him on. That being said, I am not a single issue voter and his constitutional stance outweights his military policy.

But since am not about to vote for obama or mccain, Paul is the guy that i'll write in. I voted for bush both times as well as clinton both times, but neither of these idiots will get my vote.

I do see mccain and palin getting in and as I said, God Help this country and them.

As a woman, and Clinton supporter... the VP pick did not move me to vote for McCain at all. You just cant put a skirt on and get another womens vote! My concerns with Sarah are: she is under investigation right now in her state for improper use of power in personal matters, I listened to an interview a few months back where someone asked her about the VP job... she stated she didn't know what the job of vice president is ??? With McCains age, this is not someone I would feel comfortable with being my president. She might be really good on a special energy panel in the future ??
ECONOMY ECONOMY ECONOMY !!!!!!! We have to hit this topic hard and get America strong again !!!! Neither McCain or Sarah have it going on in that area.... maybe she could invite Dick Chaney up for a good wolf hunt weekend.... LMAO !!!!

She has more excutive experiace than Obama/McCain and Biden put together. She has more experiance in the role of Commander and Chief than Obama/McCain and Biden. That shows how weak both tickets are in the areas that are the job description of President under the constitution. None on the so called "main issues" that Obama/Biden and to a slightly lesser extent, McCain/Pawlin, are running on are the job of president. Please explain to me, with only facts, not emotion, what experinance Obama has with the military or forgien affairs? Whatever backround I read I can find none. How is he ready to step in on day one? He has never run a budget, a large work force or worked in any job in any way shape or form that would put his life or the lives of others at risk. I don't know how good or bad Pawlin is. I know she has kicked out both Democrates and Republicans in her state to try to clean up the corruption. The people there seem to like her. She helped to "kill" the "Bridge to Nowhere", which was a Republican earmark. She has a son in Iraq, so does or did McCain. I don't now if Biden has any relatives in the military or not. Please explain how her lack of experiance is worse than the others? At least McCain understands the military. He was there. More than I can say about the rest of them. Layoutshooter

And what executive experinance did Hillary have? She claimed, at one time and then denied it later, that she used to read classified documents to help Bill with ideas. That by the way is a felony. Of course she was give Sandy Berger (think that was who was stuffing classfied documents down his pants) another job in security Layoutshooter

As i said, i won;'t be voting foe mccain, but his lack of economic experience is not an issue. He WILL put someone in charge of economic policy just as obama or clinton or bush or any other president has done. You certainly don't think any president make all decisions on his own do you?

As for palins economic experience, she is handling the budget of alaska , along with advisors. and as has been stated, she has more practical experence then all 3 of the others.

I would be careful with what you wish for. This would be fatal for the Obama campaign, believe it or not. All the Repubs have to do is remind the American people of a few little known facts.

1. Congress has more power than the President.
2. Our present economy started taking its nose dive when the Dems took over congress.
3. Our Democratic congress has a worse approval rating than George W.
4. Back during the "Glory Days" when Clinton was in office and the economy was good...the Repubs were in charge of congress.

What I am concern is the hidden agenda here.

McCain is clear, he has reached across the isle and at times disagreed with Bush on a lot of issues. He has insulted the American people by saying no one does the jobs that these ‘immigrants’ do and offered anyone a job picking lettuce for $50 an hour. I remind myself as I am driving along spending a month on the road eating cr*p food, sweating in the humid heat and dealing with about $4 an hour that I shouldn’t think that picking lettuce at $15 or $17 an hour, having a union watch over me with all these migrant laws is worst.

Obama, well he is friends with Bill Aires, someone who is by all accounts a domestic terrorist and should have received the same thing that McVeigh got but he walked free and became a millionaire just like Obama. He is someone who said he and his little gang, the weather underground, just didn’t kill enough, meaning innocent people and many among us will vilify others for their beliefs but ignore this simple fact that Obama supports terrorist. He is also friends with a number of people who are indicted, or in jail including one guy who gave him a great deal on some piece of property. The other thing is his rhetoric is along the same lines as a Marxist, a throwback to simpler times when people were gullible…. But now we have a rock star candidate who fools everyone.

Biden, on the other hand has more baggage than McCain and Obama, he is in all accounts a racist for his little sound bits about Indians and other people. He has been wrong about Iraq, he has been wrong about the economy and he has been wrong about well a great number of things. He has been a senator since ’72, Nixon was in office, he has never held a real job, he went to private school and he never had a business. He, like Obama never had to worry about real life issues like Both Palin and McCain.

Palin is being investigated but if you read why and what went on in the press, this is far less of a concern than what Obama has done with Aires. I don’t see a real hidden agenda, I think she will have a tough time not with the dems/Biden/Obama but with a lot of repubs who think like democrats. I also feel that she may be what the party needs but if she can’t gain any ground as a VP choice within the party, she and a lot of other people need to leave the party because it is dead.

Biden has been in office that long? I thought Obama wanted to change Washington? I thought I heard Obama putting McCain down for being in Washington all those years while things were a mess? And they call McCain's campaign "the double talk express". LOL
