I am so excited about this ticket, I truly dont believe the last time I felt so energized by an election. I am a Democrat, female, 44 years old. I am pro-choice but respect people's pro-life stance. I even find myself being more toward pro-life just becuase I am a proud mother and just recently a proud grandmother. I like Sara Palin, she has more experience in Public office at city councel level, mayor level and Governership of the Oil rich state of Alaska. She has more experience then any of the running candidates. I like the fact that she is a reformer and fights corruptive government. She is also well verced in the oil industry, they know not to mess with her! I am voting for the Maverick who selected this great VP. Go John McCain, we love you!

Hoping if Obama picks Hillary for VP, I could vote for Obama. Then with the Biden pick, I thought .. well OK at least Biden is an individual with the set of experience that would be a respectable support for the presidency .. and if necessary Biden could handle being the President. Then I said, well maybe McCain would make a wise choice and pick a VP who would be strong on Finance/Economy, and possibly a person who would be equally respectable. Thus McCain could get my vote based on his wise judgement and a good VP pick. Well, with Palin as a choice, I was completely disgusted. Disgusted to see a person chosen for being a female (to win Hillary's voters) and for being a right-wing conservative (to please the Huckabee voters). Well McCain is wrong on both counts .. a disastrous wrong pick !! Palin (a mother) accepted this position without any concern for the kids upbringing .. at least for the next 4 years, even though she was well aware that one of em was involved in pre-marital sex and got pregnant. What about the other kids. It shows she definitely doesn't care, and also tells me that she would do the same for me, my family, my kids and their future. "Let the Choices You make Today ... be Choices You can Live with Tomorrow" Instead of focusing on their "proper" education and well being, she wants to be next in line to the most powerful position in this free world. The institution of presidency is not a part time job. My Choice today will be Obama, so that me and my family and my kids can Live a healthy prosperous Tomorrow. For me being pro-life means living a healthy & a prosperous life and doing the right thing. As a republican I was on the fence between Obama & McCain.

The media is not against Sarah Palin and the Democrats as well as independents do not like her simply because she is female. How dare they cry sexist because we criticize her. These are their talking points and they are not true. The reason many many do not like her is that she is extremely far to the right (she makes George Bush look like a liberal) and she is simply not ready to be vice president, let alone president. Everyone needs to be aware of the games the McCain campaign is playing in attempt to get the media to back off and for people to be quiet. We will not be silenced.

It is very unfortunate that they have strayed so far from the truth in reporting. The Facts – the Verified Factual Facts, with no personal opinion. Also unfortunate is the fact that the average American is allowing others to think for them.

We are in deep trouble if we allow this sort of reporting to influence our decisions. Americans - THINK! It’s time to think, research on your own, put in perspective what you hear, what the consequences will be.

Seriously. McCain is far from my favorite anything and I would have voted for Hillary even though I have never been a big fan of the Clinton's I feel she was competent and I felt confident in her vision on enough of the issues. Obama, not so much. Then he picks a pathological liar as his running mate and the deal was sealed. I have no intention of trying to make a point to you guys, obviously it could be on the Goodyear Blimp in your living rooms and you would still refuse to look at it. Your candidate is an empty suit at best and a dangerously ignorant politician at worst. Hell my 9 year old is charming and charismatic and probably equally qualified to run the country as Barry-O. Hell she has more executive experience being the oldest of four children. He has never done anything except run for office and run from his past. Gosh I love revisionist historians, you guys are a hoot. If your candidate wins, I will be sitting around watching as everything goes to hell and you all wish you had not gone running after your fantasy candidate leaving the only viable candidate in the dust. If i was Hillary i would become a Republican and let the lot of you drown in your own self deluded righteousness. You guys are amazing. Seriously.

The other three are legislators with no particular history of being in charge of anything governmental at all. So why the flap about qualifications? Sure, she is not a nationally well known name. And, it would be great to know more about her positions on national issues. So why not just ask her after the speech that will likely answer most of these questions. Why challenge her "qualifications and experience" when she already has the only executive branch experience from either ticket? Both campaigns are touting their ability to bring about change, and totally ignoring their combined half century in Washington that didn't seem to produce the change they talk about. The way I see it,Sarah Palin is THE CANDIDATE of these four that really will be different and really could make a change! How about giving her a chance to introduce her positions and ideas BEFORE you try to raise your ratings by blowing her away before she gets started!!!!
