You have to admit that Sarah Palin is pretty hot (remember she was in the Ms. Alaska Pageant) and MUCH BETTER on the eyes than Joe Biden. Oh and wait until you see the bikini pics!!! NOT BAD for a mother of 5.

I just saw the Dayton Event, and I am filled with pride and I am so excited to have witnessed such a historic moment in our History. McCain is a genius and Palin will surely make a difficult for target for the Socialist Democratic Ticket to attack.

If the Obama campaign criticizes Palin’s inexperience, all the McCain campaign needs to say is this:
Obama would have been a good VP pick.

Thanks McCain for making it easier for Obama to win!
You chose a woman who is all about the big oil companies, who the Sierra Club will absolutely have a field day with, somone with absolutely no experience….and that is just the beginning! Sure your buddy Rush Limbaugh will love voting for a woman!
This is the best news the Democrats could have – thanks McCain for making it easier for us! ;^)

McCain’s choice of a running mate was right on target. He has always been a maverick in the GOP and one who stood up against those in gov’t and industry who were advancing their own interests instead of the country’s. In his choice of a VP, he picked someone who seems to be cut from the same clothe, someone who acts on her convictions, someone who is willing to take on the “establishment.” The Democrats will try, but they will have a hard time selling the US voters that these two people are from the current establishment and who are part of the current problem.

Not sure what you’ve been smoking there Jerry but outside the fever swamps of dem land this choice looks like a slam dunk.

Im a Democrat and I have always liked McCain as a person especially in
the year 2000. Now I dont know. I admire him for taking a chance and I think this woman is a good pick but I think she needs more experience. I think since Obama picked Biden as the Vop that will help him win the election!!!!!
