We value our country over party and would prefer to see a VP choice who is capable of taking over if McCain is unable. There are many who are more qualified to do so than Sarah Palin. This was cleary a decision aimed at winning the election and not in the best interest of the country. As a lifelong Republican, I'm so disappointed in Sen. McCain's hasty and irresponsible choice.

Why did Todd not try to reason on the side of safey but instead makes a snide remark about Texas. Their honesty and integrity seems to be right at home with McCain and his fine judgements over the last few decades. Its time to stop trying to keep Americans from looking behind the curtains and seeing the truth. All the McCain/Palin platform needs is a good scare tactic to complete the play from the GW/Rove playbook. Vote from your hearts and not your fears. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

I'm more concerned about: * Her lying during the announcement rally last Friday in Ohio when she claimed she had long been a opponent of the Alaskan "Bridge to Nowhere." * The fact that she is being investigated for allegedly ordering a state commissioner to fire an Alaska state trooper, who just happened to be Palin's ex-brother-in-law. * Palin's response to a question by Larry Kudlow on whether she was being considered as McCain's vice presidential running mate: "As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day." * Cindy McCain defending Palin's lack of foreign policy experience to George Stephanopoulos: "You know, the experience that she comes from is, what she has done in government -- and remember that Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So it's not as if she doesn't understand what's at stake here." * Bob Weinstein, the long-time mayor of Ketchikan, Alaska, telling Rachel Maddow that he knows of no one in Alaska who was interviewed by the McCain campaign during any vetting process of Palin. * John McCain choosing the person who will be a mere heartbeat away from the presidency -- and putting less thought into that decision than I put into deciding which socks I wear in the morning. I can't predict a time line, but let me go on record right here and right now: By the time Election Day rolls around on November 4, Sarah Palin will NOT be John McCain's running mate.
