Senator McCain is the sexist if anyone. He thinks he can pull a quick one on the American people and Hillary supporters in particular by merely picking a female for the VP slot.

Economy, healthcare, environment, Iraq - polar (not intentional) opposites. McCain is the sexist so don't try pulling that. Real Hillary supporters are more intellegent than that.

If any female voters who were going to vote for Clinton now vote for Palin, well shame on them. That's voting based soley on ovaries – not issues. Those two women couldn't be more diametrically opposed, politically.

I'm sure not many black republicans (all ten of them) are going to vote for Obama just because of his race.

Strategically, to win the presidency, this is an interesting move. But is this all about the race to win the presidency, or is it about who the candidates are and what the issues are?

A McCain-Palin government will be against all she had fought for. That also showed how sexism and racism are rated with Clinton: gender is more important because women constitute half of the electorate. It seems Hillary reverts to her old Republican leaning, not wanting to fight strongly for Democrats.

I just think our country is in a moral toilet and going down hill fast, economically. As an Independent neither side is doing a whole lot of persuading - you either got an Old man/No experience governor or a No experience Senator/Old man who can't stop his mouth.

Otherwise the republicans can make it seem as though they are attacking small town America and women. Best strategy is to ignore her. The Democrats must be careful about atttacking Palin.

Hillary Clinton herself, if she actually cares about those female voters and not just her own ambitions, should be equally as disgusted. I am quite fond of Bill and Hillary Clinton. However, her response to this VP pick shows that the candidate with the judgement and integrity needed to lead our country in a more positive direction is obviously Barack Obama.

It must be that Hillary Clinton sent her brother to speak with the McCain staff and guess who may be behind this. Clinton's brother that's who. I am very disappointed in her because they used her voters emotions today. Yes they are after her group but anyone with brains knows not to vote for this man. How can the republicans bash Obama for months then turn around and say this is fine with them. Anyone notice the difference between last night and this morning. Well let me tell you what I noticed. Last night we had a stadium full to the maximum of americans "the melting pot". This morning all I saw were whites. Why is that? I hope this doesn't spin to a race issue again because it won't be good for the democrates. Why did she have to come out and congratulate her of all days, today.

Given her lack of experience, young age and NO FOREIGN POLICY CREDENTIALS, he can no longer accuse OBAMA of such...giving Palinis a heartbeat away from the Presidency if elected. Thus, it is clear, the ONLY reason he choose her is to somehow dupe woman and Hillary supporters into thinking Palin can continue where Hillary left off. How disgusting!! Palin is the QUENN of EXTREME RIGHT WING IDEOLOGY..on the extreme right on women's issues like equal pay, choice, guns, evolution, oil drilling (a huge friend to oil companies and advocate of drilling in ANWR), school prayer, and embraced Bush's economic policies/disasters. MCCCAIN, THIS UTTERLY APPALLING TO WOMEN AND DISRESPECTFUL TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE..TO USE A WOMAN WHO WOULD BE OTHERWISE UNQUALIFIED AND IS UNKNOWN FOR YOUR POLITICAL GAIN. So, in 4 years, McCain..when you are too old or sick or forced out by the radical right so their girl can take over, whose interests will you be serving? If women or former Hillary supporters are fooled for one second into voting for McCain-Palin, you will get what you deserve and leave our country worse off than ever before. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
