Fear mongering didn't work so let's try to steal Hillary supports. They think we're to dumb to care about issues and that all we want is a woman in power. Well I say they are too dull witted to realize that we supported Hillary because we thought she would do a great job as president. Not just because of her gender. Obama would have been my first pick if Hillary wasn't in the running and now that she isn't I am Not going to vote Republican just because they have a Woman VP. Palin's view's are not the same as Hillary's but Obama's are really close! Obama 2008! Change we can believe in! This is what we should expect from Republicans.

Your comments just go to show how little you understand of the political forum--a VP doesn't need to have all the experience of the Pres., they are just an extension of the higher office. If you even bothered to read a little bit of her political history you would see she has done more in the short time she has been Gov. then Obama has in his whole political career.

I hope women everywhere see it as an insult that he thinks we are so easy to appease. She's a conservative pro-lifer (she probably supports the crazy notion running around D.C. these days that birth control is abortion) and is married to an OIL EXECUTIVE. McCain is not a young man.

Have you looked at your presiendtial nominee lately? Obama has barely more experience than Palin, and she has squeezed a lot of activity into her term far more than Obama has accomplished either at the state or federal level. She also speaks her mind and doesn't change her position with the political wind. I guess that says it, "wind", since this choice clearly has knocked the wind out of the Dem's sails. They had to spend 3/4 of their convention calming down unhappy Clinton supporters. The rest of the time they reiterated things we already know to the point of having the speeches memorized beofre a word has left anyone's lips. The RNC convention, however, will now have a captive audience as people try to glean details about their new VP hopeful.

Somebody should have told her back then exactly what the VP does so that she would have realized that she's not qualified for the job and turned it down. I agree with the posts that point to her family and small child with a disability. Who is taking care of that child now? Who will tend to her young children If she becomes the VP? She won't have the time to spend with any of her children in their formative years, let alone the youngest most needy one. Never mind what was McCain thinking, what was Palin thinking? Not about family values for sure! How can she be expected to present a national face and meet with foreign leaders that the VP so often has to do?

Of course that makes you wonder what he is planning. At first I thought he had gone completely insane.

But everybody else had a negative side too -- Romney was bitter in the primaries, Ridge is pro-abortion, Pawlenty would have been "safe", etc etc. McCain's choice shows he truly is the maverick everyone plays him up to be, and Palin brings a unique and new perspective to the race. You could call me one of those "quantity" McCain supporters where I was planning to vote for him anyway, but the "quality" of my vote was certainly lackluster. I think I may vote for him now with a little more fervor... McCain's choice is certainly not without its negative aspects.

Palin is being praised for carrying a down syndrome baby to term and I admire that. But this is what has always bothered me about the hard-core pro-life group. They seem to care more about a fetus than they do the child after birth. I just cannot understand how a mother would decide to have a special needs child and then put her political career above the care and love that child will need. There is no substitute for a mother. The decision to have and care for a child is a life decision, not a 9 month decision. As a mother, I am furious. Palin is being praised for carrying a down syndrome baby to term and I admire that.
