yes i know before i even opened the link. a 43 year old woman from alaska, a leader of 9 thousand people and has had absolutely no foreign contact before.

strange decision indeed.

[Hellstryker]

Not at all. Shes a tool to draw in the thousands who voted for hillary

If you ask me, McCain would have won anyway, female vice president or not.

[Al Tarket]

i will never get the political points of this sort of stuff and i will not even pretend to know either. however as i know it, why select a woman from what is considered a backwater part of the united states for?

i see better senators within the hierarchy that have better credentials.. which is why i say its strange.

Because those who wanted Hillary Clinton to be President would now have another woman to vote for. Indirectly, of course, because they will vote for McCain, but they will vote for McCain because he's got a female VP.

Even at the risk of turning nerd populace to vote McCain, I have to say this is pretty hilarious.

Eh, let's mix it up a little bit:



Now show that image to 10 different people, and I guarantee that at least one of them will make the wrong choice.

Do it with 100 people, and I wouldn't be too surprised if it was McCain. I'd expect a few "That one. Wait, McCain was tortured. The one who's missing an eye."

Obvious publicity stunt is obvious.

Turns out that Palin is facing two ethics investigations in Alaska for abusing her power to pursue personal revenge:

Just imagine what she would do as vice president.

Wooten was, however, suspended for 10 days for shooting a moose and using the Taser on his stepson[...]

I think she made the right decision.

She sounds like a female version of Dick Cheney...

I think she made the right decision.

Also from the damned article:

When she dismissed Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan on July 11, Palin said she wanted to take the commission in a new direction.

A week later, Monegan told NBC affiliate KTUU of Anchorage that he thought it was likely that he had been dismissed because he resisted pressure from Palin’s staff and husband to fire the trooper, who was involved in a bitter custody battle with the governor’s sister after their divorce in 2005.

palin is an awesome governor though. she supports resource development here which the hippies in washington wont let us do. she also got alaskans a $1200 energy reimbursment (im told they will be tacked to out pfds which are really big right now thanks to theoil price). also when juneau was on backup generators and the utility was trying to get the state to pay for repairs to the lines, and she said no, she also imposed a deadline which got us back on hydro power in less than a month. shes done a damn good job since shes been governor.
