If you guys haven't known all along that CNN has been promoting Obama you must have your head under a rock. Jack Cafferty and Campbell Brown acting like two little mad kids throwing a fit today should leave you with no doubt. Jack and Campbell your guy is going to lose.

This was not an issue for Repub's. We seen the bad vibes McCain has towards Romney, and Pawlienty is boring, but to throw Lieberman aside for someone with 18 months experience and sides with big oil.
This doesn't sound like good decision making to me.

That's the republicans already allowed half to come. This allow the other half to join them with full voting rights. No back door dealslike Howard Dean and Company of the Democrat Party.

Does this also include Michigan, or is their delegation going to be "McCained" just like Mitt Romney?

I would trust Gov. Palin before I would trust Obama. Like it or not the Gov. gets things done. Most of the people that actually know her are very impressed with her. Obama is going to lose.

At least with the Republicans, no back door deal with the Boys Club to get their pick over the Guy they wanrted. Like Howard Dean did my Relatives in Florida. the representatives played dirty with Obama and Dean's Company. They already allowed half to the convention already.

The GOP is PRETENDING that she has the qualifications on foreign policy because they have to.

They are stuck with a lousy pick!!

Thanks McCain for the birthday present (on YOUR birthday!)

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I as a women was on the fence about Obama and was waiting to see McCain VP choice. Junping off the fence into the Obama camp. McCain you have insulted women all over. Could have done better then this former beauty queen. If you wanted a women, how about Kay B Hutchinson. Not pretty enough huh?

So long McCain….I'm joining Obama.
I have to vote intelligence this time.

Unbelievable! Fodder for Bill ….Maher!

wow my former party is out in force insulting and demeaning a woman again. What's up with Obama supporters, hope and change= we hate women apparently. Obama supports big oil, just look at the tax breaks he gives them, but you guys just keep insulting women, obviously he doesn't like strong women, it must be because he gets emasculated at home so much.

How do folks figure that Sarah Palin is ready to lead?

The world will laugh at us..especially Russia, Iran and Iraq.

This woman does not believe that global warning is man made. Just what we need at the time when the earth needs help.

She also does not recognize that the polar bears are going to be an endangered species. She voted against the endangered species act to be in favor of arctic drilling. Just when the bears are drowning.

Don't believe what you see- she would hurt this country in so many ways. This is reckless madness.

another lie by Obama, he counts the votes only if it benefits him.. What a fraud this man is!

Abortion is Killing. Now I have found the place for my vote. GOP for life.

Gov. Palin has more experience than Obama having governed a state. What has Obama governed? McCain and Palen have actually changed things. As Hillary said, Obama just talks about it.

it is not Obama/Biden '08. Osama/Laden OK

I sure hope women don't fall for McCain's clear political stunt. In fact, it seems it is an insult to women's intelligence to think they will vote for a woman just because she is a woman and not vote based on the issues.

I hope women understand that this woman wants to completely outlaw abortion rights for women including pregnancies by rape. She is a radical pro-life activist.

This is a joke by John McCain, the one who claims to put country first. With his age he is the highest risk presidential candidate ever to have health problems which means his VP is very likely have to step in to be President if he wins.

While Palin may be an attractive lady she is a sports journalist who has only been involved in small town politics and only served the small population of Alaska for 1.5 years.

florida for mccain.

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 to get

NY SENATOR HILLARY DIANE RODHAM CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why are you surprised about Campbell calling Obama "our guy"?She was the one that was mimicked on SNL kissing Obamas rear and telling Hillary to not disturb Obama Girl or she would have to leave the debate.Already Schuster the pimp is dissing Palin and Cafferty almost swalloed his tongue from the anger over Palin.These are the same people that caused Senator Clinton to be called filthy names plus racist.

McCain is using Padin for show. Do you think a quick tempered,
snap decision maker, without placing thought on the consequences,
is going to for one minute, listen to the advice of a woman that knows
nothing (and admits it) about national security or foreign policies.
She is a pawn for McCain games he plays with the great minds of
the American People Only he thinks we are really STUPID? Are we?

that's ok florida! you should vote for obama ,anyway. he cares about all americans. even republicans. just not bush.

When my cousin was stationed in Alaska, he once got a chance to "tour" Palin's "White House". I think he redecorated her walls.

My understanding is that Palin has a degree in journalism.

That surely qualifies her to move into the White House if McCain cannot.

She's a hockey mom whose husband is an OIL MAN. Doesn't that give one pause for thought? All things can be bought if you have enough money.

Seems like we had a scandal just recently from the state of Alaska. And is choosing another Republican from that State to run for VP?

When you have a small population spread all over the place, it is easy for corruption to have full reign just like any small town. It's all good ole boys…. you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.

People better wake up. This outrageous!

Palin is a waste of spurm.

VOTE FOR MCCAIN FLORIDIANS! I hope you do not have a
son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter who will be eligible
(18 years and older) for the DRAFT. McCain said, I think today
that the war in Iraq is going well. Suicide bombers are killing
people everyday. The Iraqi Government has Billions of Dollars
and Billions adding up while American money is being spent
to "re-Build."
Cheney has made an unknown amount of money on no bid
contracts from Haliburton and God knows what other Company
the Bush Administration let go in under NO BID CONTRACTS.
THAT MEANS THEY MADE THE DECISIONS AS TO WHAT COMPANIES WOULD GET THE JOBS. IS THAT LEGAL? I don't
know, but it doesn't sound legal or ethical to me.
Vote McCain and bid farewell to your S.S., Medicare, Medicaid,
Unemployment, and be sure to tell your children that drilling
for oil in America will cost a lot of money for little return. Make
America a country that our children can breathe in and believe
that RENEWABLE, Reusable energy is the way of the future
and our childrens future.
Bush, Cheney, McCain want us dependent on Oil because the
Oil companies want it too!!!!! Alaska-drilling for oil is not the answer,
Sarah Palin……….. No to Sara Palin

Go get us our energy and keep our money here.
The right people for the right job.

COUNTING VOTES?? HOW NOVEL.

Is McCain at 72 years old, like Reagan, looking Alzheimers in the face. I think the man must be losing his mind. A "pretty woman" who has not even proven herself as a governor of a state with the population smaller than most big cities on the mainland. All she has going for her is that she is against abortion. I am offended and even insulted that she is using Hillary to make her case. McCain has gone too far. The old maverick needs to be put out to pasture where he belongs.

McCain - McSame thinks a hockey mom who is so far to the Right that she would not only revoke roe v. wade, but enjoy banning books to a bond fire on the Whitehouse lawn. She is a Right wing radical like Buchanan. We teachers are cringing at the thought of having someone in the office of VP who would ban any kind of real science and teach creationism in our schools!

God Bless America, save us from the Republican Party. Obama is the only man for this job now. No matter what anyone thought before, they must know this now.

I'm in shock………….. "pardon me, I think I might throw up in my mouth!"

Palin wants to be the New Hillary Rodham Clinton SO BAD. Truth is, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is very much alive and will not be fooled or duplicated. America isn't fooled with this Palin imposter. America is tired and has had enough.

We are ready for Change.

why dont they ever say Barack's middle name ??? is it because it is the same name of former Saddeim Hussein ???

Great news for FL. Now, they can join the party to reject John McCain as the nominee and pick someone a little more stable. Repubs prayed for rain…not during the dem convention, but during their own so that they wouldn't have to attend. Now, with Gustav, they had a legitimate reason to stay home in order to support the recovery efforts for the gulf coast. BUT, whatever you do, DO NOT postpone the convention! It will be exciting to see who actually shows considering his slight of Huckabee, Romney, and Pawlenty. Do any republicans really support this guy? We tried to tell you not to pick him! I'm so glad I left the party before this hit the street!! I'm voting for Obama. Repubs can try to spin it if they want to, but this selection is an insult to qualified women.

Just watching Larry King right now and I've noticed for the i millionth time that the Republican commentators are trying to convince everyone that she has significant experinece on the executive level.

STOP LYING TO US and manipulating the American people.

This lying is the same old washington politics that makes me so angry, because they think Americans are so stupid that we would believe what they tell us if they say it enough.

Barack Obama has much more experience with the country/with the world, and is MUCH more qualified than Sarah Palin.

What a manly woman. Almost slick. McCain should've picked Mid Romney. All of a sudden, Governor Palin is on the ticket? What a joke. Who's next? Heidi Fleiss?

Palin is George Dubya in a dress.

ENOUGH.

Obama/Biden 2008 for America's future.

Amazing! The Dems throw the ultimate "hail Mary" by choosing an untested Senator with barely two years in the senate as their nominee and then go ballistic when McCain does the same. Unfortunately for them every remark made about Palin's inexperience is equally applicable to Obama and more so due to the office he seeks.

How can you flush a long standing and respected career in the Senate down the toilet in less than a New York minute? Pick Sarah Palin as your Vice Presidential candidate.

As a Governer, Palin has more political experience than Obama. Being a governer is more demanding than being a Senator. A governer actually has to understand the economy and budgets as part of their pay grade. Obama on the other hand has demonstrated that he does not understand the struggle of America trying to position itself in the ever evolving dynamic global economy. McCain and Palin get it and will demonstrate this in the debates.

Nice speech scaring your uneducated, ignorant voter base about how the economy is much worse than it really is Obama. What you did not tell them is that you don't get it and will just make it worse not better.

America IS Great! McCain/Palin 08!

This is news? Elsewhere in the world of "Duh!" McCain picks unqualified running mate because she's a woman . . .film at 11,

More DNC Corruption!

The Republicans will win again!

I am a Hillary Clinton Supporter who will vote for the McCain/Palin ticket.

Barack didn't have the wisdom or the intestinal fortitude to choose Hillary Clinton. He chose a good old boy for his VP! He is an arrogant phony, an obfuscator, a prevaricator, an equivocator and a wimp!

Obama is toast! His stand on abortion is so far left even democrats cringe! Biden/Obama is the ticket of babble and rhetoric!

McCain/Palin is the ticket of authenticity, integrity, action, reform and real change Americans can believe in!

Just saw a PUMA person on Chris Matthews, forgot her name already…looked like a real bitter sour puss, if her face looked any more stearn she would have broken the camara lenses…pathetic! Voting for McCain and his VP is everything against what Hillary Clinton is for…

The bottom line, we need a change. The last eight years has been terrible. Any person or employee would be fired for doing a such terrible job. No one especially goverment, should be different or above being FIRED!!!! But voting for a party with a record of non-performance because you dislike Obama is totally irresponsible. I don't agree all the Dems views. But I'm not going reward, eight years of terrible judgement and performance with my vote. What kind of message does this send to our children?

To all who claim they will vote for McCain because of his woman VP, JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING TO TO THINK ABOUT…….Do you HONESTLY think that McCain and the GOP is going to let Hillary beat their bait for VP, they want you to think it's about helping Clinton supporters, when it's about her supporters getting voted into the VP position and the GOP using her credentials against Clinton in 2012 to become President.

Say you want Clinton to win in 2012, just think you will be the one who caused her to lose a second time….just because you wanted any woman to be used as GOP ( bait!).

if you DON't want to vote Obama, at least vote for the other canidates, Hillary might have a chance in 2012…………Think hard about this……..

They just replayed John McCain today. It's interesting to note he said:

She knows who she works for ……

Does that mean she will be his puppet?

Sara who?

The Republicans keep trying to do what the Democrats do, a week after the Democrats do it.

Maybe we could get the Republicans to go vote a week after the rest of us?

In other news, Barr's stock just went up as McCain made the Republican ticket look wackier then Perot/Stockdale.

Mccains Choice For V P Shows He Doesnt Have The Judgement To Lead This Country! He Would Put This Country In Harms Way To Pander For A Vote!

Sarah Palin said in an article she wrote for the NY times this past January:
"there is insufficient evidence that polar bears are in danger of becoming extinct within the foreseeable future"

She seems like a decent person, but I have a problem with someone who does not care that the animals unique to her part of the world are dying off. This is not a person who should be in power.

Oh and btw, she doesn't believe global warming is man-made. Look it up for yourself.

Superb choice — absolutely superb — McCain and Palin. I was so hoping he'd pick Sarah — and aren't her children darling, Michelle?! We're back to sanity instead of a Las Vegas Greek-columned spectacle, crowning Obama, the emperor with no clothes. On to victory in November — REAL change and REAL solutions for America — the BEST country on earth!

The GOP watched each and every one of the Democratic Party's mistakes over the last 8 months and has been playing this all masterfully.

The Rules and Bylaws Committee damaged Obama in its efforts to secure the nomination for him. Now the Republicans have picked up that ball.

Obama was the novelty and used it for all it was worth. Then came his totally uninspired choice of Biden and McCain's entirely inspired choice of Palin. As George Will said, "you only get to be a novelty for a short time, and only once."

Obama is being reduced to running on personality and to playing the race card.

As a Christian I make this plea to the Christian Bretheren. We voted for Bush and he led us into foolish war a Trillion Dollar debt and economic decline. Now McBush, a bitter adulturer athiest who attends a Baptist Church and yet refuses to be Baptized, picks a Christian VP to get our vote. A Christian VP will not stop McWar from starting WW3. A Christian VP will not prevent McBush from putting America into the next great Depression. Abortion is an important issue but not the ONLY issue to consider at this critical time in America. Please Pray before being led blindly to vote for four more years of Bush incompetence.

Lame decision which is noting more than a copy cat move

I thought the media was suposed to keep there oppions to there selfes. Whats cambell browns problem, she sounds like a woman scorned. The other moderator was right, its up to the american people to decide. Also you people treat obama like he's GOD Your news is very onesided, are everyone of you Demercrates?

Obama/Biden = The Safe Choice

Amazing move, brilliant to say the least.
took the hot air right out of the democrats
Mccain has my vote.
The democrats snubbed women and the republicans bring a woman in the race.
The democrats are the same old politics of two men running the country, about time we have a woman in the race.

"To quote Hillary, "Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experiance to the White House and Senator Obama will bring a speech he made in 2002."

Uh-Oh!!! Somebody's mad!! LOL!!!! I LOVE it!!! LOL!!!!

How can she contribute to Troop withdrawls from Iraq??? With NO foreign affairs experience…and what if McCain got us into another war?? which is likely, she would be useless!!
She cant even pronounce it Iraq!!

That's No Maverick, that's ANOTHER Bush sidekick! A vote for McCain/Palin is a slap in Hillary Clinton's and ALL women's faces!! Palin represents everything Hillary Clinton is opposed to, is the least experienced of all the viable female republican choices, and Palin called Hillary Clinton a "whiner". McCain is counting on the low-intelligence female voters to fall for this ploy. McCain at his best in vote pandering and gender manipulation!

Do you found this VP Palin little extrange. she has 5 kids, the younges four month old with down syndrome, I mean how bad she want this vp nomination. Mc Cain meet her twice and choice her as his partner with no experience over a more popular choices is the republican party, besides she is pro drilling in Alaska. I wonder if the big oil corp. want this woman as VP and they set a deal with republicans . this is very fishy, something is behind all this circus

McCain LOVES beautiful, rich, and … women. I hope McCain does not DIVORCE Cindy for the Beauty Queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world has already started to laugh at American, thanks to John McCain, what a great and wise judgement!!

Imagine when McCain puts us into another war - WITH NO CONSULTATIONS -

Mavericks are hot-tempered and unpredictable. That button?

If he wants to play russian roulette with his own personal life, or make unconventional stands in the senate - fine.

But the USA should NOT be controlled by the likes of McCain

Obama/Biden '08 (or Barr or Nader if you don't like Obama)

Its Amazing How The Pundits Are Trying To Spin This Woman As A Good Choice For Mccain! There Is Not That Much Spin In The World To Do That! Mccain Just Lost The Election With This Choice! No One Believes This Woman Can Step Up And Be President In The Case Of An Emergency! She Is No Hillary Clinton By Far! We Need A Leader With Foreign Policy Experience Or At Least A Number Two With Some! This Woman Is The Most Under Qualified For The Number Two Spot In Our History! Republicans All Over Are Unhappy About This Choice! The Democrats Just Won! Thanks Mccain!

"Does it matter. America is in hock to Communist China. Republicans have sold our country to China."

True, true, LOL!!!

Sarah, Who? What a Hot Mess!!! Who's advising these people? Why would McMain shred his greatest weapon against Obama, 'experience'? This is such an obscure choice. It's so obscure that I'm lead to side with the conspiracy theorist about the Government. They believe that the next President has already been selected and that the elections are just another way to distract the people from the OffensiveTruth of our Government really works. I say this because, it's like McMain's V.P pick over a Mitt R. was to throw the election to Obama.

Dolshea, confused Independent

Can Campbell Brown be any more bias against Palen?? CNN is the new MSNBC. She has experience governing a state? Whate does Obama have experience governing?

A woman should not be picked because you want female votes but because she is qualified. Out of all the qualified women in the republican party, he picked the least qualified by a LARGE margin.
Was it because of her looks?

As a woman, I am insulted because his choice was shallow and opportunistic. He didn't really even know her- he met her only once before.

This is a cheap, random, and chauvinistic of John McCain.

Now there is finally a person with governing experience on any ticket. A youthful, gun-toting, former beauty queen, and successful soccer mom-type who leads an entire state, not to mention being a conservative who believes in the core, wholesome values that has helped build America, yet still is tough enough to stand up against big government and special interest groups. Is she the modern-day Annie Oakley of government who, with Maverick McCain, will help reform the government and establish fiscal responsibility in the government finally? At the DNC convention, speakers stated about working from the top up, instead from working from the top down. Why then, is the Illinois senator, with no governing experience, a presidential nominee, when Sarah Palin has successfully lead an important state, fought against the bullies of special interest and reduced wasteful spending? Being governor is more credible and qualified to be president than a single term senator. Just look at how many governors and senators were president. Whites who vote for a black man for president due to some sense of white guilt, while blacks vote for people of the same color, is more insulting to intellectuals than women voting for a woman for president.
Some Democratic presidential nominee, why is he afraid to debate with McCain? After loosing to Hillary in debate and dropping in the polls and loosing important states to her, the Illinois senator then avoided debates with the better reasoner to cowardly win his presidential nomination, can you say CHICKEN? It reminds me of Rocky chasing that chicken around a pen. Don’t forget that Hillary was robbed of delegates in Michigan.

Superb choice — absolutely superb. McCain and Palin. I was so hoping he'd pick Sarah — and aren't her children darling! On to victory in November!

This is the candidate who called Hillary Clinton a "whiner" in Newsweek!!! I thought all of you Hill supporters were on the same page with Hillary Clinton? She asked a very vital question at the DNC, "were you just voting for me, or for the issues I ran on?" A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote against Hillary Clinton and ALL WOMEN, who by the way, Senator Clinton and President Clinton are fully supporting Senator Obama.

For those who continue to think "Hillary 2012″, if by some EXTEME STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION that McCain/Palin were to win, how much of a chance do you think Hillary will have with the LOST VOTE of the Obama supporters and the attacks of the GOP smear machine? Obama/Biden - Change we can Believe in - with Hillary as Secretary of State or Health Care Reform!!!

Let the obvious ploys for support begin!!!

have john mccain just got out of prison in the last 5yr to make a comment like the longest place I stayed was in prison.

Sarah Palin's judgement and experience is very risky:

During her acceptance speech, she told the world exactly when her son would be deployed for Iraq. Isn't that a threat to national security AND her son?

Her inexperience is a danger to Americans because we are in the middle of two wars.

Let's face it- McCain will have to educate her on national and world affairs before she goes into debate. If she does well, it will only be because she is a very good student to McCain's staff.

MCCAIN HAS ALWAYS USED WOMEN. . .THEN HE THROWS THEM AWAY.

JUST ASK HIS 1ST WIFE, CAROL MCCAIN (WHOM WAS/IS CRIPPLED)!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

Sinderbrand = you are CENSORING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AGAIN

I'M SICK OF THIS.

CNN PEOPLE SUCK

Eve!!

Thanks!! I feel exactly how you feel and i think its great that so many other women arent bying into McCain manipulative tactics..

After this… If Not Hilary, Then Obama!!

Mad - she's a republican - expert liars - that's all you need to know

Hey Fl. Delegates, use your Google. Mr. Palin is a control freak who insists on sitting in on private Government meetings between his wife, Gov. Palin and Government Officials . He is also on the Email list to recieve private confidential Government Email even though he has no Government duties. I wonder how long the less than patient McBush will tolerate his new VP's nosy Hubby?

GOVERNOR PALIN WILL BE VETTED BY THE OBAMA- LOVING MEDIA SOON ENOUGH AND THEY WILL REALEASE A TORRENT OF PRO-OBAMA RELEASES INCREASING IN A CRESCENDO
OF NEGATIVE ADS AND MISREPRESENTATIONS LIKE THE ONES THEY PUT OUT AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON.. WOMEN OF AMERICA,BE PREPARED . YOU KNOW WHICH MEDIA NETWORKS ARE PRO-OBAMA .

If Fla and Mich would have been counted Hillary would be the nominee. Obama was totally against having Fla & Mich count
it was to his benefit, Another Obama Flip Flop. There is more to Obama's nomination that meets the eye, there is some power behind the scenes we are not aware of, and there is an evil purpose behind it all.

Valerie.. im pretty sure she was his 5th choice!
But i agree! They seem to think they can only win on fear and manipulation..

Not this time! 8 years was FAR too long

McCain 2008
Hillary 2012

Too bad Hillary doesn't leave the Democratic Party and run as an Independent. She would win over Obama and McCain.

I really want to see her in debates though…

There are many Republicans posing as Dems affirming the Palin pick posting. I agree, DON'T be fooled.

McCain is treating women as if they were a comodity - One is as good as the next, so why not pick a photogenic one. If you're trying to appeal to women that have supported Hillary, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO USE YOUR BRAIN, McCAIN. This just proves that it isn't working any more. Bad Judgement = No Support for you McCain!

This former Hillary supporter is 100% voting for Obama!!!!!!!!

Atleast Palin isn't responsible for the highest spike in taxes ever that he did in my home state of Illinois!
The people of Alaska love her and they only knew her 2 years- Imaging what she could bring to the white house.

Shame on you for pointing out she is a woman so she is "different" or he is trying to get votes that way- If he was trying to get votes he would have picked a different woman- but Palin brings a lot more for this country and a clean future for the Gop and a failing Democratic party

Show me that photo again. Ok yeah she is cute. Can she type? And you say she makes great coffee right? Ok call her and offer her the VP.
Heck she has to be better than Tom Ridge.

First REPUBLICAN woman to run for VP.

Being a life long democrat that will not vote for Obama. I am going to wait to see what this woman is made of before I vote for McCain.
She is certainly no Hillary Clinton, but we can wait a life time before
there will be another Hillary. The biggest mistake Obama did was not put Clinton on the ticket as VP, if he had we would not be having this discussion, he would have beat Mccain hands down. That decision
was a bad one, and it makes me wonder about decisions he will make for this country and the American people. Obama is just not ready to lead and all of his hoop la is not making the American people
buy into his election. I am not a Mickey Mouse voter and I MUST vote
for the person I believe in, and that person is not Obama. I just may sit this one out if McCain cannot prove Palin is the right choice, not because she is a woman, but because she can help this country.

Thanks Joel very well said. No one said she was taking Hillary's place. As far as her qualifications she has just the same as Obama and she is VP not running for President. Campbell Brown is out of control my gosh why is she so rabid about this choice. If something happened to McCain she is well prepared to take over and HEALTHY vs. Biden who has had 2 anurysyms and is 65 years old.

Interesting choice.

Republicans are not trying to win on trust. They are trying to manipulate this election and the voters. If you can't see what McCain is doing, listen up.

McCain has made a desperate move and in doing so he has weather or not Sarah Palin is paying attention, put her in a political position out of desperation. This as Sen. McCain would say My Friends–is the truth. Question is—was she his First Choice.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT BARBARA BOXER , CLYBURN, EMILY'S POST PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT AS UNFLUENTIAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ON GOVERNOR PALIN'S QUALIFICATIONS
AND CREDNTIALS AS THE HOME;ESS PEOPLE IN THIER DISTRICTS. BOXER IS NEARING THE END OF HER CAREER AS A SENATOR , NOBODY EVER HEARD OF CLYBURN AND THIS EMILY'S POST TILL NOW. SO WHAT'S THE BEEF? OR MORE SUCCINTLY WHERE'S THE BEEF?

If you don't like McCain's pick, and you don't like Obama, it's simple:

Barr or Nader or stay away from the presidential pick. Vote local and state.

Big Deal. It is not like the Delegates have a choice on whom to vote.
I am sure the GOP while be amped up by McBush slick move to turn his boring campaign in a historical event. McLame only met Palin once briefly so this choice for VP was nothing but Pandering Politics. McBomb gave no thought to the fact that if he dies in office. America, a nation at war. Will be led by a Beauty queen with two years experience in Government. One of McBush top advisors said that there is no problem with the economy and that Americans are whiners. Another top advisor said this week that there is no health care crises and that any sick person can just go to the Emergency room. Picking a female VP does not change the fact that McOld is an elitist and totally out of touch with the average American

The Songs of this Election season could have been, ither "Where has All the Party Rules, Gone"…..or ""Flip-Flop Two Times, On All The Issues, That Really Matter To Us" or "Do American Voters Know Exactly ,When They Are Truly Being Played"! Take your pick, they all sound good this time around…………………………………

Republicans are not trying to win on trust. They are trying to manipulate this election and the voters. If you can't see what McCain is doing, listen up.

McCain has made a desperate move and in doing so he has weather or not Sarah Palin is paying attention, put her in a political position out of desperation. This as Sen. McCain would say Fellow Americans–is the truth. Question is—was she his First Choice.

Wow to actually have Campbell Brown CNN call Obama "our guy" in a heated debate with Bay Buchanan was pretty amazing. I know obama has CNN in their pocket. But to hear it like that was something.

ROMNEY SUPPORTER HERE. MCCAIN/PALIN 08

DONT BE FOOLED by false REPUBLICAN bloggers saying we clinton supporters arent insulted by this… WE ARE!!

My friends an I have been EXTREMELY INSULTED by McCains' vp choice!!

Even more so because we were going to vote for him come Novemeber! But this is OUTRAGEOUS..selecting Palin simply because of her anatomy, and expecting intelligent american women to vote for him because of this!!

We have set up a group, consisting of 42 women already, who have commited to voting for OBAMA because of McCains decision.. which shows that he really IS OUT OF TOUCH with women in America!! There is only one choice this year.. OBAMA!!!

Eve Watson, New York

If a PUMA voters still votes for the McCain-Palin ticket, then they've totally rejected and disrespected Hillary. No Hillary supporter would consider Palin as a like-kind-exchange that is an equal to Hillary.

McCain is pandering big time! What a sexist - using women to troll for votes!

what about romney supporters who will they vote for now that romney not on the ticket

vic nashville,Tn August 29th, 2008 7:36 pm ET
I want Hillary in the white house in 2012
Because of that I will vote for Mc Cain
Life long democrat and Hillary strong supporter will vote for Mc Cain
Hillary 2012 /Mc Cain/Palin2008
——————————————————————————————
O.K., BUT LET ME GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…….Do you HONESTLY think that GOP is going to let Hillary beat their bait for VP, this is not only about Clinton supporters, it's about her getting VP credentials and beating Clinton in 2012 to become President. Say you want Clinton, you are the one who will cause her to lose a second time….just because of another woman as bait!

Sara Palin only has a Bachelors is easy basket weaving journalism from the University of Idaho!!!

As an educated woman, she needs more than that to impress me!

The Palin pick was a political gimmick; nothing more, nothing less. That lady from the Puma organization just seemed a bitter lady that can't accept what is.

Gov. Palin, though not the best choice, is far better than Obama. She has accomplished more than him, and although inexperienced, she will have John McCain to learn from.

Who will Obama learn from? Joe Biden? He (Obama) only won the primaries because of the Oprah endorsement, and all the people stupid enough to watch her are stupid enough to vote for someone to be COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE FREE WORLD with less than 3 years major political experience. He can't even remember what senate committees he is on (remember him calling the Senate Banking committee "my committee" when he was not even on it? ).

On election day the choice will be clear, vote for the inexperienced junior Senator from Illinois or the experienced senior senator with a political record stretching a quater-century with a record of change.

To quote Hillary, "Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experiance to the White House and Senator Obama will bring a speech he made in 2002."

MAYBE I DON'T COUNT SENSE I'M A MALE BUT I DON'T THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO PUT A SWITCH ON ANYONE. I THINK SHE IS VERY ABLE TO DO THE JOB AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE FROM HER. WE HAVE ENOUGH TALK AND NO SHOW EXCEPT THE SPEND AND SPEND WE HAVE SEEN.

What I don't understand is why aren't we talking about qualification?
McCain chose her only to be a trophy.

Experience is one thing and folks are debating about it now, but what about education? After all, education level is considered for every day Americans when we job hunt, so one would think that the highest office in the land would also have preferences when it comes to education.

In terms of education, Barack Obama is the most qualified. Yes she has life experience, but so does he. AND even though McCain is known best for his foreign experience, has she ever gone overseas?
She is not experienced or qualified for this position-McCain could've chosen a more qualified and respected woman for the job.

My husband was in the Marine Corps for four years and he has more foreign policy than Sarah Palin.

I would never want her to be the next president. I even heard (though I have not verified) that she is being investigated for awarding a contract to an oil company where her husband works and that she tried to use her power to have her brother-in-law fired. Of course, abuse of power is the republicans’ calling card, so that should not bother them. Of course a first term governor and former mayor has more experience in national security than a senator (right, LOL). And McCain thinks she would be good to replace him.

Hey, Elizabeth from Tuscon. Nobody ever said Sarah Palin was supposed to be "another Clinton." To have Governor Palin run with McCain for that reason would be something he'd never approve, although I've often heard Senator McCain speak of his fondness for Hillary Clinton. I applaud his good sense in finding someone acceptable to run with him, then having the guts to not veto that person because she is a woman. But then, that's the feature I've always liked in McCain. To be sure, I supported Hillary for both positions, but she was treated shabbily by Obama and the Democratic party gurus. But my vote for McCain/Palin is not for revenge, but for a presidential candidate who does not feel threatened by a female partner. If Obama felt welcome in Germany, just wait until Germany's woman president greets American Vice President Sarah Palin. Talk about restoring goodwill!

From the beginning of John McCain’s campaign, he has made himself out to be the man with all the experience. He has wanted America to believe that experience equals understanding, and understanding equals success. As the result of this, one of John McCain’s central arguments against Senator Barack Obama is that he lacks experience. He wants us to believe, that as a nation we would be gambling our security on an amateur. Therefore, with this point pushed across for so long; shouldn’t his running mate reflect the amount of experience he has? Which brings me to this question, does experience really matter to John McCain? And if experience doesn’t really matter to him, why should his experience really matter to us?

IMHO, the Republican really needs to be an uplifting event to help McCain/Palin.

Mcain you should stick to improving your crapy french fries,find a retirement home,and as far as your VP choice goes by the time they get through investigating her it will all be one big Republican joke!!!what an oportunist plan,you realy think American women are as dumb as you!!!! I can immagine how you got to be as rich as they say you are!!!!!America should be so ashamed to have both of you on the ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.Yes, we can.'

How democratic party talk about former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience when they have community organizer top of the ticket

Plain approval rate as a governor 80%
9 % approval rate for congress

Obama long time experience is 20 years with Jeremiah Wright

Life long democrat and Hillary strong supporter will vote for Mc Cain
Hillary 2012 /Mc Cain/Palin2008

why are we listening to Bay Buchanan? Is this the best the Rep's can offer to promote Palin? OMG she can't support one argument with any intelligence.She didn't even know that Palin is not the first VP nominee in election history .She should take a civics lesson 101and brush up on her history.

Does it matter. America is in hock to Communist China. Republicans have sold our country to China.

Now they throw in a token female VP.

Question? wasn't Geraldine Ferrara the first woman to run for vice president? Campbell Brown just mentioned that Sarah Palin is the first woman to run for vice president. Did Ferrara drop out?

Could you clarify for me?

Thanks much,
Mary

I want Hillary in the white house in 2012
Because of that I will vote for Mc Cain

What a joke. .. Foreign Policy? For Bay Buchanan to suggest that this woman having a son in the military constitutes foreign policy knowledge, you may as well elect me. My younger brother is 25 years old and is currently overseas serving our country, so I guess Im just as qualified as she is. This is a clear attempt to disturb the momentum and hope that has been instilled in the American public by Obama and the democratic party. I HOPE it backfires on them with full force. This move is an insult to women voters and it is a clear and strong indication of just how insecure and desperate the republican party is. …YES we can.

LAME!!! COPYCATS!!!!

They don't even have an original idea of their own. The GOP is just flailing around in the throes of death. Can they possibly do anything more stupid this election?? Glad to see them implode… it is well-earned by the Bush Administration.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!! VOTE SMART… NOT SENILE!!!

What a slap in the face of American Women. John Mc Cain acting as of he was ordering a secretary. Says she had executive skills. That sounds terrible and then he just stand there surking. Right! I don't think so.

Trying to get more votes? And they have the fall to diss the democratic party? HYPOCRITES!!!

Yes, I want a woman in the White House. No, not just any woman. The woman I wanted in the White House was Hillary Clinton. Palin doesn't come close to Hillary Clinton and there is no way I will vote for her just because she is a woman. Get Real, Wake Up, How stupid do you think we are?
