Now over 80 percent in the betting markets. And here is the gossip behind that. Electorally this is a very effective pick I think (if indeed it is true), though it is hard for me to imagine a President with five (young) kids.
Addendum: No, that wording isn’t quite right. How should I put this…?
Second addendum: Her stock in the market is now plummeting, now down to about 35, as there is a report she is still in Alaska. I am told that last night Pawlenty was up to about 85 but then fell dramatically as well. It has been a wild ride in this market. And now Palin is back up again, etc. Whatever. Now it’s at 96. Now confirmed.
More: Credible signals, in one link or less.

Could a governor from a Landlocked State, that rates 50th in the USA become President with no foreign experience?
What do you think Bill?
I’m staunch a republican that will vote for Obama twice if I could.
Why, because I’m an American first. Although I am pro-life, I worry about the government reaching into my home and life like Big Brother.
McCain is insane and a pandering idiot. The hell with Palin. And what in the heck do you consider executive experience? GW Bush has plenty, would you vote for him again if you could?
Running a podunk state and the most powerful country in the world is different. It takes nothing short of Genius. Clinton was a genius and so is Obama. McCain is another C student who attended the academy through nepotism just like GW and Yale. Let’s be real!
In light of ‘old shcool’ scare tactics: Any possibility that Ms. Sarah Palin may become our President is just a possibility.
It is NOT a statistical probability that Palin might be sworn in as a U. S. President within the next term.
The biased media are making far too much over Palin becoming our next President. Give it a rest.
Palin has taken on political corruption, and not just on the other side of the isle! The fact that Palin is still politically alive and well as a viable Vice Presidential candidate speaks as to why she is respected on both sides of the isle. She has an 80% approval rating!
Fair minded Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike should not allow Palin’s to be ‘dissed’ by haters. And, though it may not mean much to some people, Palin did it all while raising 5 children.
Sarah Palin is NOT an old school conservative. Palin is a social conservative with the vision, will, and energy to conduct non-partisan politics.
I like her character and ethics. Her lack of international affairs does not bother me. As President (if that happens) she would surround herself with advisors who share her ethics AND have the requisite international perspective. You don’t have to be a subject matter expert to be a good leader.
One more thing – she was right to ask about what the job of VP entails before considering it, since the VP job description is determined by the Prez. Some VPs have been nothing but toastmasters, while others have been given significant responsibility, as Clinton did with Gore. Heck, FDR kept HST so in the dark, that he didn’t even know about the Atomic bomb until he was briefed right after taking the oath on FDR’s death.
Congrats! It’s so exciting to have a McCain and Palin ticket in 2008! Good Luck!

I cannot wait for the debates. Not that most American voters care (unfortunately, as many of the folks on this blog have amply demonstrated it’s all about being “hot” and a “woman” and has nothing to do with ideas, values, or politics), but Joe Biden will annihilate Palen just as Obama will eviscerate McCain. It will be glorious.
The media loves narratives. Starting her off with such criticism and low expectations is just setting her up for a “wow, she’s so much better than we expected!” meme, even if she turns out to be mediocre.
As a woman who managed to become Alaska’s youngest governor and then vice presidential pick, I’m going to guess she’s more than mediocre. McCain has breathed new life into a campaign that had hit the high water mark.
McCain chose a Judas goat to trot with him for the Presidential campagain.
Obama, in his concluding speech remarks, spoke of ending genocide…seems to me the most significant elimination of humanity comes in the form of “choosing” to snuff out 38 million living, breathing human beings before they had the chance to make a difference (and this just since 72). Obama’s own mother had more reason than most to terminate his life–what a shame that would have been. But the one that speaks out, actually LIVES OUT her conviction for PRO CHANCE–the chance to breathe, the chance to learn, the chance to love, the CHANCE TO MAKE CHANGE–is the one taking the heat for living her conviction–perhaps it is not whether she has all the female parts necessary for a compelling campaign, but more balls than the other three candidates to actually turn the most heads.
The Dems propaganda machine is working overtime because they are scared of Palin. She is the amazing rubber woman and all their attacks will just bounce right back. It is funny to watch the Dems jump all over her regarding her on air asking about duties as VP. Outside of the obvious President of the Senate, the VP serves the requests of the President and asking that of John McCain is a legitimate question! John McCain will involve her or not involve her as he sees fit as it is the prerogative of the President to do so. I love how the poster party’s message of tolerance, compassion and women’s empowerment so quickly changes when you don’t goose-step to their cadence.
I sit here and read how cruel some of these previous posts are and it makes me sick to my stomach. That some of these people can sit here and down on the down syndrome child of Sarah Palin is in itself pathetic and repulsive! Sarah Palin may not have the “experience” of National and international affairs but she deals with the goings on of a large and diverse state with plenty of issues. In Alaska, here she is the “executive office.” She works for the people here. It is my understanding that Senators and Legislators are just a voice in the crowd of a group of people where the majority votes on a descision. While it may be true inexperience is a downfall, others may welcome the change. I personally hope that McCain/Palin win in November and prove all of the people that are cruel and judgmental wrong. I believe that Sarah Palin will fight just as hard for this nation as she does the State of Alaska.
Whats the old saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover?”
Good Luck Sarah Palin, this is one of many Alaskans that will be voting for McCain/Palin 2008!
I like her. I like her a lot. It is a very smart pick IMHO.
Barak Obama was also an unknown and look where he is now. He even won against all mighty Hillary.
Sarah is smart, has executive experience (runs a state), has a great image, a good story to tell, is extremely likable, and is a Woman. I do not believe that a man (does not matter who, specially a white one) would have been the smart choice considering the circumstances.
If they win, I believe she could be our future president.
Don’t get me wrong … I like Obama, but Sarah makes the Republican ticket very very attractive. It would be a mistake to underestimate her.
dear steve: yes, we are looking at a landslide victory!
I’m shocked at McCain’s pick after all of his talk about national security and experience. Sarah Pallin doesn’t even come close to Barack Obama’s experience. She was mayor of a town with less than 9000 people (some college campus’ have a larger population). Wikipedia shows that she won because 909 people voted for here (less than 10% – the other candidates got 292 votes and 32 votes). As for being governor, she was elected in December of 2006, a mere 3 months before this entire presidential election began. The entire voter turnout in the state was 238,307 (less than some small counties in Colorado). She has 0 foreign policy experience and is VP to someone who would be the oldest person elected as president in US history. If something happened to McCain and Iran decided to launch a nuclear attack, I wonder what she would do? This doesn’t seem like good judgment on McCain’s part to me. He certainly didn’t put country in front of self in this decision.
You democrats are all just bent out of shape because you know Sarah Palin is a brilliant choice.
WHAT ARE YOU SILLY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT????Sara Palin was raised in Alaska and never left..minus her 4 years @ University of Idaho…where she was majoring in Journalism. BARACK OBAMA was the president of the Harvard Law Review and an expert in Constitutional Law. Government and Law, you can’t have one without the other! Sarah Palin Governor of a state with a population less than 700,000. Elected to office in 2006, prior to that she was a mayor of a town with less than 9,ooo people. You silly republicans! McCain voted with BUSH 95% of the time and now you too will do the same. I am not surprised but I am disappointed. You call this thinking outside the box. I call this thinking your thinking outside of the box, while your still sitting in the box to brainwashed to see when you are being handed a 6 for a nine.
E PLURIBUS UNUM
OUT OF MANY, ONE.
OUT OF MANY CAME ONE.
ONE MADE OUT OF MANY.
18 MILLION UNITED STATES CITIZENS VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!
ONLY ONE MAN VOTED FOR PALIN!!!!!
NO COMPARISSON!
WHEN ANY OF YOU ARE READY TO HAVE A REAL DEBATE ABOUT THE DEMOCRACY WE LIVE IN JUST RESPOND TO MY POST AND I’LL ANSWER IF YOUR COMMENT DESERVES A REPLY.
WOW! Everyone says Grampy McSane is an idiot just because he doesn’t know that that countries have changed names and can’t turn on a tv set. He’s real smart for an old guy. He knew enough to pick a woman with a nice backside. That’s why he started at it the entire time she spoke. My friends all noticed the way he played with his wedding ring. The man’s not that old. He’s a horn dog….just what america needs!!! Go Johhny Boy!
So, because she doesn’t practice birth control and doesn’t believe in abortion, we, the American taxpayers, have to pay for her carnal proclivities. Her Down’s Syndrome child will cost us.
I’m all for supporting people who experience problems, but for a 43 year old to take on childbirth and expect an outcome that will be a burden rather than a help to our society, is selfish, myopic, and shows extreme poor judgement.

So what if Palin has all the support of McCain and the republican party.
She is or will be just like McCain, in the pocket of the damn conservative Christian right wing
totalitarian dominionist’s.
The world will not be safe until once and for all, people leave religion and their insane ideas out of government completely.
And continuing with another term of something just like the Bush administration just is not an option.
In nomine patris
Et filii et spiritus sancti
Wow, all the cranky democrats need to stop and think before running their mouths. First, inaccurate facts make the entire rest of your rant irrelevant. McCain voted for Bush approved legislation 90% of the time, not 95% while Obama voted against 97% (source: cnn) Second, really, you are going to use the argument that she has no experience? Ok, anyone making that argument is far dumber than I can imagine. Highlighting her possible VP inexperience only shines a huge spotlight on Obama’s presidential inexperience and makes the case for the Republicans without them having to bring it up. Third, Obama has had 2 years on the campaign trail to let us get to know him and to convince enough people he is “good enough” to be the democratic nominee. Do you think we could give Palin maybe….2 weeks to convince people she is good enough to be the Republican #2? Fourth, 2 years of “on point” experience trumps 20 years of reading about it and then 20 more talking about it.
Obama is a tremendous candidate. He is a great speaker, and seems genuinely passionate and is dynamic. This is what Republicans feared about him. Though Palin is little known, the wild, spastic responses from democrats show that she was clearly unexpected by them and she worries them. In an election that likely will be within a couple of points either way, if only 10% of the 50% of women making up the roughly 30 something % of independants move in McCain’s favor, he would pick up 1 percentage point just there. Throw in that Palin has already energized the republican party and COMPLETELY stole the news less than a day after the DNC, and it’s no surprise why the democratic pundits are nervous.
Oh, and one more thing, everyone stand up and say the Plege of Allegiance. Then do something that Obama must have to get through law school. Read the constitution. Then notice that the word “democracy” or mention of democracy does NOT exist in either. Only the words “Republic” in the Plege, and “Republican form of Government” in article 4, section 4 of the constitution appear. So, to the moron who does not know where the caps lock key is on their keyboard, it will be difficult to debate about the “DEMOCRACY WE LIVE IN” since we technically don’t live in one. We live in a Republic with a Representative form of government. Maybe you would like to debate the differences and nuances? As far as 18 million people voting for Obama so far, don’t get carried away. It’s likely that over 50 million will vote AGAINST him on election night and to be fair…..”BIDEN SUCKS SO BAD!!!!! A BAZILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY ONE VOTED FOR BIDEN!!!!!!! NO COMPARIS(S)ON!” but oh yeah…you somehow forgot that she is the VP pick and Obama is the Pres pick? Remember. Inaccurate facts make the entire rest of your rant irrelevant.
The Republicans should be happy. The democrats are uneasy about your VP pick. That is good news. Now since Russia, France, and Germany as well as the terrorists want Obama to be President, I need no other reason to vote McCain.
WOW! Odette I have a disabled sister and that was perhaps one of the most offensive things I’ve read in a long time. What would you do if you had a disabled child? Lock him/her in a closet let them starve just so you don’t have to be burdened, instead of allowing them the ability to experience the joys of life in this country that you obviously take for granted. You don’t mind Obama’s plan to have our taxes pay for your health care but, fuck the people who are LEGITIMATELY less fortunate. What a selfish Cunt, oh and I mean that in the most offensive way possible.
It amuses me to no end, the people who try to convince themselves that this is good for our country. Since when is it a good thing to choose a gimmick to get votes rather than a truly effective leader for our coountry. To try and say she has executive experience is like saying a manager at wendy’s has more experience than a member of the board at a fortune 500 company… I mean really what decisions has she had to make in Alaska, keeping the roads clear of snow?? Obama was in the state senate of one of the most cut throat places in the us, this woman may know how to pull the trigger on a moose but she will fold in a debate on foreign affairs. Mayor and city council member of a town with a pop of 8000 or less and then gov of a state with one of the smallest populations does not make her more experienced than obama, unless its how to wear a bikini in a beauty pageant. Not to mention the fact that she used her oficial power to enact a woman scorned type of grudge over her sister’s ex-husband, when asked about it she first claimed she knew nothing, then after proof of over 20 phone calls from her office requesting the man to be fired, she claims she never knew they were doing it on her behalf (how can she run a country if she cant run a small office in alaska) then she just dismissed it all as governors perogative… i have a good name for her and it starts with a B…
O M G…. i cant believe what i just read about this woman… she believes crationism aka “intelligent design” should be taught in schools… did she not know that the supreme court already ruled that intelligent design is NOT a science, and based on creationist theology… just what we need another elected official who doesnt understand the separation of church and state… i recommend anyone who believes in that crap should go to the nova website and watch the brilliant documentary on the trial… i find it hard to believe that anyone would want the children of this nation to have their science education return to the 1800′s, so to all the women out there who want their children to have a WORLD CLASS education, you would be doing your children a HUGE dis service by electing this woman
As a Clinton supporter, I have decided to give my support to Obama-Biden. Voting for McCain because of his VP choice would be a step back rather than a step forward for women in the United States. Biden has a record of supporting women’s issues. Palin does not.
While McCain operatives are trying to create enough hype that implies Clinton supporters are “flocking to Palin,” I don’t believe that women who supported Hilary are willing to forego all the ideals Hilary represented to vote for someone who supports an agenda that would women back decades. We are not lemmings…..
i am really amused at all the democrat sniping (not that i did not expect it, i am just amused)…look, your man hussein has just lost. he was already going to lose because, well, americans are at heart SANE, but it is nice to not have to worry going into November, as I did have to the past 2 elections.
look, just face it. hussein has 0 experience and palin has 2 years as govornor. what’s that make her superiority in the area of experience 2000%, 4000%, don’t know, don’t care, i just know it’s a lot.
as for her child….well, if you have to criticise her for her family decisions, there must not be much you can say about anything else.
what do you suppose hussein will do once he gets blown out of this election. go back to COMMUNITY ORGANIZING (snicker). what is a “community organizer” anyway?
I would have more respect for hussein if he had spent that time running a business, but i guess that is asking too much of a democrat, to provide real jobs that help real americans.
at least (thank god), we won’t have 4 years of watching his witch of wife — “this will be a co-presidency!”–… i mean, look at the clinton co-presidency, that did not work out so well, did it?
i am just waiting for one of you lib-idiots to say, “hey, you know, McCain just blew us out of the water with this choice”, but I know you’re not going to… hell, the majority of you idiots probably don’t even realize that he did.
but then, on the day after the election, when you’re allscratching your heads saying “what happened”, that will be the time for forming the circular firing squad, the balme will fly. let me give you sme advice, get the left wing OUT of control on your nominating process. whatever you have to say about clinton, at least he won.
The following is shared from the other thread, since “elephant at Aug 30, 2008 9:21:05 AM” seems to prove my point.
==============
We’re closing on the 100 post boundary, and comment quality is declining a bit. I’ll start with my background (again), since people talk about “the dems”, and then move on to my 24 hour, time-averaged opinion.
I’m a lifelong Republican with the self-identity as a conservative. I’m an old-school conservative. I wish the Buckley show was still on TV. Though, when I take the http://www.politicalcompass.org test, I measure out as a centrist-libertarian.
I’m not a new-school, evangelical, Republican. I worry that there is too much anti-intellectualism in that, and that it leads our nation to fundamentalism in a third-world way. The new-school did not make this nation great, they rode along, and benefited from the balance found in old-school Scottish Enlightenment values.
Above, I see some pretty low (and really non-intellectual) arguments for Palin. I don’t think that means she’s bad, or that she could not grow on the national stage … just that it is not, rationally, time for her.
But we are tribal humans. We (I, you) position Palin in our framework, based on where we were already voting, and make the best arguments we can (here and elsewhere). People talk Truman, but he was a judge and came in with that law degree. That makes a difference to me. Is that confirmation bias on my part? I can’t think it is totally.
I really think that a VP should be someone who even if they didn’t make a showing in the primaries, should at least have been ready to do so.
To be rude, my bottom line is that McCain made a non-intellectual choice, and whether it works for him will depend on one thing: how many non-intellectual voters there are out there.
hey, i have a great idea for you next time: nominate keith Olberman for president. now no one could ever accuse him of being a wild foam-at-the-mouth leftist liberal. i mean, they have him doing commentary on football games, right? he must be a sane, normal american. just ask bill o’reilly
odograph, i totally agree as read the comments on numerous blogs, i have noticed a trend… those who defend palin do so based on non-intelligent arguments that prove they really know nothing about her, not only can they name zero (0) reasons why she make a good vp (looking good and being a hunter, mother, mayor of a small town dont make her able to be the president if mccaine dies) and instead they try to insult obama by saying he has less experience than a beauty pageant runner up, it truly scares me that someone like palin could be the president when/if mccain dies… i would like to hear some real things she has done to make her worthy… they say shes tough and a reformer and has done so much and has SO MUCH EXPERIENCE but with what??? for several months as a governor of a state with a million people in it in the far corner of the us, i mean this woman was a journalism major and was a SPORTSCASTER before she became mayor, she doesnt even know what the VP does, has she ever studied the constitution outside of highschool??? how can she uphold the constitution as vp/president when mccaine is gone??? and yet republicans keep saying we as dems are scared of her because we think mccaine will win, YES I AM SCARED FOR MY CHILDREN AND MY NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS WHO WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS UNINTELLIGENT WOMAN WHO MAY END UP AS OUR PRESIDENT, IT WOULD DESTROY OUR COUNTRY…
Great article on Palin!: http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=756799
vicki, do you believe intelligent design aka creationism should be taught in schools?? because if that is any show of her intelligence, i do not approve
Palin is head and shoulders above Obama when it comes to life experience. He is a spoon-fed Harvard grad, and based on what he’s accomplished with that education an empty suit. He talks well and is black, that’s his qualifications. Palin is also head and shoulders above Hillary; what has she done. Would she even be considered for city coucil if her name were not Clinton. Quit whining and get used to the idea of a female vice pres.
Excellent choice. One of the biggest knocks on McCain WAS that he couldn’t relate to the average American, the working folks, the family folks. Not anymore. Selecting Sarah Palin is more than a politically expedient decision. It is a smart decision. Sarah Palin is an intelligent, self-driven woman who won’t back down from a fight. The fact that she is easy on the eyes is totally irrelevant. She also understands the difficulty of balancing home and career. Yes, Alaska is a small state, population wise. Since when does population determine the ease or difficulty of governing. Corruption is corruption. Poverty is poverty. Jobs are jobs. etc. Alaska also has a diverse population. There are different races and cultures there too. I wonder how well a Washington insider would deal with an issue with the Yup’ik, or the Eskimo people. They’re Americans too. Gov. Palin has shown the ability to deal with diverse cultures. I am sure she will have no trouble dealing with diverse races and cultures across the globe. She has already done it in Alaska. Great choice Senator, I mean future President McCain.
right on, PDL
if the dems think they can knock her for “experience” then should hussein obama even be running at all?
I am just asking “where can i sign up to vote for her for pres NOW” ohwell…we will just have to have one term of PRESIDENT McCAIN (god, I like the sound of that more than I thought i would) and then turn it over to sarah for the next 8 years. suddenly i am optimistic about the country again!
maybe we are deluding ourselves, but sarah palin is going to the next VP of the united states. i am sure that she will gain experience
so… are you saying that hussein obama is absolutely disqalified? i mean, however little experience sarah has, it is WAAAYYYY more than hussein has. isn’t it? or am i missing something. i am sure that his experience as a “community organizer” (snicker) counts as something?
well, odo, i have to give it to you on that one. how, exactly, do ivory tower achievements, however great i am sure they are, translate into qualifications for being president of a country of 300+ million- to quote capone.
this lady has been governor, and a quite successful governor of a small (in population) state. what qualifications did your hero, bill clinton have other than the same, at the time he was elected?
they were both governors of small states, and, at least by your reckoning, bill clinton did ok… except, of course for the cigar thing
. i bet sarah won’t have monicas coming out of the woodwork
Sara Palin took on the sitting governer of her own party and beat him. Everybody complains about corruption in politics, she has made a career of taking on corruption in Alaskan politics. I am sick of hearing about how going to law school makes you qualified to be in office. Most of the officials in office now are lawyers and look how screwed up and corrupt our system is. Look at John Edwards. The fact that she did not go to the most liberal law school in the country like Baraq Obama is a plus for me. I hear you make front of the fact that she was a PTA mom. What you better be asking youself, is how did some rise from PTA mom, to mayor, to governer so quickly.
Bill Clinton was the governer of Arkansa, JFK was a one term senator. Too much experience in politics is a bad thing in my opinion, we as a people should have demanded term limits for congress year ago. I don’t begrudge Obama on his experience, it is his liberal belief in the government nanny state that I can not tolerate. I believe Governer Palin and Bobby Jindall represent what the future of politics should be. One last thing, just to show how sexist the democrats can be, how much experience did Jihndall and Pawlenty have when they were being vetted. Nobody had a problem with those two names being out there as possible candidates.
And of course Obama saw that law, in practice, from the vantage of the Senate.
LOL dave, I was responding to your “Posted by: dave talley at Aug 30, 2008 10:39:32 AM” comment, and didn’t even see your “Posted by: dave talley at Aug 30, 2008 10:43:34 AM” post.
I’ve said I like Palin, and might vote for her at some point in the future. I don’t think that is belittling in the sense of “ivory tower achievements.”
In your “10:43:34 AM” post I think you answer me a channeled question that doesn’t really lead to the truth. What you are saying is, here put on the blinkers I give you, and then look at the problem.
ODO, no I do not say put on the bliners etc. i only ask for a simple answer to a simple question. you are free to discuss anything you like, but it is telling to me that for all you have to say, you still refuse to answer the question. can i make you? no, of course not. your non response is as good as giving me the obvious answer. hussein is unqualified, and far more so, than sarah
It amazes me, the comments about this woman. I am one of the Undeclared Voters that still has not decided. I have read up, quite a bit on all the candidates. I am still not sure. I have 61 days to decide. I will just take it as it goes, and vote on the knowledge I gain.
I may start a blog on what I find out.
Maybe not!
THanks, Mary
I think Sarah Palin is the right running-mate for McCain. And Barack Obama has lost his chance to keep all Democrats on his side by choosing Biden. I am not an American citizen, but I would have voted for McCain-Palin.
dave, i would like to know exactly what your “infitely more experience” means, what exactly is her experience and can you give an example, obama studied constutional law, worked as a comunity oraginzer in one of americas largest citeies(this entailed fighting for jobs for those who were displaced by the closing of steel factories, and helping people with affordable housing) also terms in the state senate of a largely populated staet and us senate where he was able to work in the federal government, sarah palin learned to be a sportscaster(im sure giving hockey scores makes her infintely more experienced than someone who argued constitutional law as head of the harvard law review) and later became part time mayor of a small village, along with runner up in a beauty pageant, she is out of touch with heartland america, and her 20 months as a governor is FAR, FAR, FAR, FAR, FAR did i mention FAR from the experience clinton had and cannot even compare to obama… and the fact that you keep calling him hussein proves your an ignorant racist who wants people to associate him with saddam or people from the middle east, so why dont you do us a favor and go back to school, you need a real education, it is obvious
duane, can you please inform us what changes she made?? i mean i keep hearing shes done all kinds of stuff and is a reformer and such but i have yet to hear a single detail other than getting 1 republican canned, while at the same time she is caught up in her own ethics scandal….
OK.. Palin: A natural leader, not scared of the good ole boys, track record, conservative to produces change, a Washington outsider, doesn’t buckle under pressure, incredibly intelligent, self-made, not media made (Which is what Obama is and Biden, well he is just a product of Washington) If we want change, extrodinary change for the good of our children and grandchildren you better sit back and listen. I am still confused about the media frenzy over Obama and Biden. The liberal media really needs to brought to its knees. I don’t know one single coworker, neighbor, teacher, church member that believes the Obama ticket. No I’m far from rich as a matter of low end of middle class, make less than 40K, have a teenage daughter, car note, utility bills, some savings a little credit. I bust my butt for everything I have. We have so many people working the system… if we could get these freebies off the payroll that alone would help the budget. In a smaller town you do know who is working the system, they have the paperwork, they get the handouts and now we are talking about more handouts, these aren’t close to being hand-ups. I am petrified that I won’t be able to send my daughter to college so much of the money is ear marked for minorities… what minorities, we need to take this word out of the dictionary. I could go on and on but won’t. If you want change, real change you need to look at the fresh new Republican ticket. She will fight for everything we need and buck the big boys and girls.. she will suceed. Don’t sell her short.
bill, OK ONCE AGAIN I WILL ASK HOW DO HER CREDENTIALS AS A SPORTSCSTERHOCKEYMOMBEAUTYQUEENRUNNERUP QUALIFY HER MORE THAN OBAMA?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
softball mom, can you tell me any specifics about anything in this campaign?? where do you live that NOONE believes obama, west vriginia in a cbin in the mountains?? seriously if you are worried about being able to afford your daughters education you really should rethink voting republican, and obama has a plan to help send EVERY CHILD THAT WANTS AN EDUCATION to college not just minorities so stop putting words in his mouth. you are scared that is for sure, scared of change, i am white and would have loved to have had the chances that obama wants for our children, but i dont blame minorities,
let me ask you if you believe creationism should be taught in public schools, the answer to that is more telling than anything else you might say…
You have got to be kidding me…as a life long Republican…McCain has shown me he his judgement is bad…and now I have to vote for Nader. Or maybe I’ll write in Perot (is he still around?). I can just hear him saying “now listen here…take Mom, add hunting rifle, season with attitude, cook thoroughly, and then serve the wupping on them terrorists”. Oh yeah, I could see Ross picking her as a running mate…but McCain? Oh boy…
By the way I’m not white and I’m sorry you bought into the media frenzy. Enjoy your holiday!
