I'm just hoping Huckabee isn't brought in from some dark corner. Ugh.

t's amazing. Some bloggers want to know how will Obama pay for all his dreams. Can you explain to me how we pay $1 billion dollars a week in Iraq? We can find the money for wars and the government borrows and takes our tax dollars for their own gain, yet people will not invest in themselves. How pathetic!

Your comments are so true. I am so tired of the Republicans and their lies and fear tactics.

'08 Obama/Biden

I didn't think McCain would be stupid enough to pick Romney. It would just open the door for Obama to run the same ad's of Romeny criticizing McCain that McCain did when Obama picked Biden. If McCain picks Lieberman, then he might as well deliver his concession speech when he makes the announcement. Lieberman was the worst VP pick anyone has made since Dan Quayle, and I would be very surprised if McCain would make such a dumb choice.

As for Whitman or Palin, I kinda laughed when I heard the picks. They're obviously both designed to get the female vote and nothing more, but if it's Meg Whitman, I will definitely be making some large donations to Obama. While Meg Whitman did a good job running eBay, there is quite a lot eBay has done to harm the American economy (i.e.-excessive fees for small business owners, sales tax evasion, copyright infringement, etc.). I think it's really down to Palin and Ridge, and I think it goes to Palin, if for no other reason than McCain wants to try and create the illusion he's independent from the Bush administration, and selecting a former Bush cabinet member in Ridge wouldn't achieve that.

Sarah Palin WHO? WHO? Alaska WHERE? The state with only 3 electorial votes? WHO? Sarah WHO?

Back to topic, I thought McCain had a VP choice. Looks like whatever Dem. Convention upstage plan the Republicans had, must have fallen apart. Let's see how many SPONTANEOUS people show up to McCain's events. I doubt it will be anything close to the sea of humanity that was at Obama's acceptance speech.

I agree with Obama. Enough, get the Republicans out of the Executive branch of the US government, the Republicans are too corrupt, and they are trying to create a Police State to protect the wealthy elite.

Do you think they'll be happy that a different woman gets to be the first?

And, I'm feeling goooood....

I'm actually surprised that Obama didn't tap Sebelius for vice president, but I shouldn't be surprised since Obama's idea of compromise is "accept my radical liberal ideals or else you're a racist". So it makes sense that he chose the only senator who's more Socialist than he is

With her and McCain in office, kiss Roe V Wade goodbye.

Oh, and for those of you who are excited that Biden will rip her apart in a debate or in the media, beware! A mean, old white guy ripping into a beautiful, less-experienced woman on national tv or in the press is going to do Obama more harm than good.

Why would you want more of the same???

Don't be swayed by some Alaska nobody just because she is female.

The first female VP or President needs to be exceptional not lackluster. Please hold off for THE RIGHT CANDIDATE!

Then there is “presidential candidate McCain” that we all have come to dislike. Why you ask? Plain and simple, the “straight talk express” had morphed into the “Straight Lie Express”.

Its sad to see McCain embrace the very painful tactics that Bush/Rove applied on him in 2000 and this has changed him from the proud public servant he was to this bitter and angry unsure person we see today who can barely speak his mind leave alone tell the truth of knowing how many houses he owns or whether truthfully he has picked a VP or not.

McCain you have failed the test because that is not the change we are looking for.

A Republican source confirms that John McCain has chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Campaign officials, however, remain mum this morning.

I hope to God he does it, because it will be seen by every intelligent female voter for what it is: patronizing and condescending us as human beings, shutting us up and pacifying us...or at least attempting to.

I am not swayed by gender; I am swayed by issues.

Also, besides pissing off female voters who don't like having their intelligence insulted, he probably just lost the support of the ultra conservative base of his party.

WAY TO SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT, MCCAIN!

If John McCain picks a woman, does he really believe that women will automatically vote for him? And what is Hillary going to do when she realizes that "if McCain wins, she could very easily lose her chance to be the first woman president?

My guess is Hilliary won't be very happy about this at all...
