I'll check her out seriously later on, she just does not look like the typical Republican candidate.

As a left wing ultra liberal, I felt Biden was a good choice for Obama, and I thought McCain's VP would be a letdown if it was any of the choices mostly being mentioned. I must say, McCain has really one upped him here, at least in the drama aspect

Dude is like 80 years old, his heart isn't going to be able to handle it

that ought to shake up those idiots in congress about drilling in alaska. VP candidate from AK that has an ethics reform background ought to drive those flip-flopping b s artist democrats nuts. Also, her approval rating (80%)'s lets see... 8 times the typical crook democrat congress.

I LOVE IT!

What about having a 4 month old son with Downs Syndrome... is that going to add to the appeal or will it be hard for her to deal with both huge responsibilities.

Im assuming shes prolife, and even a prochoicer would respect her stance on profile having a special needs child

Mike....gotta give you props. I really didn't think people admitted to that kinda sh*t anymore.:D

Details of Palin's personal life have contributed to her political image. She hunts, eats moose hamburger, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane.[11][12] Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She admits that she used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska, but says that she did not like it.

God, I hate that **** I just smoked, too

Why hasn't Morty weighed in? Is he sitting in his chair, right hand frozen around his member, mouth agape at this shocking news?

that choice will win McCain most, if not all, the midwest states that picked Hillary in the primary (OH, PA, KY, WV). Which should be enough to sink Obama, or at least I hope so.
Last thing I want is to see the taxes on my investments go up to 40%, which is the stupid Obama plan, as that will take out the middle class, as everyone will lose 40% of their IRA, 401k or pension.... all of which is money invested one way or another.

You don't know what you are talking about. Obama would raise the top tax rate from 35% to 39% and would also raise cap gains from 15% to 20-28%.

Both of those would be for incomes over $250,000/year.

Really, you should learn at least the very most rudimental of the policy positions, if you are going to criticize them.

Meanwhile, there are several tax breaks for middle class families.

It is hard for reasonable people to conclude the wealthy have not benefited disproportionately from Bush policy. And, according to McFossil, if you don't make $5,000,000.00 a year, you are not wealthy.

On Nov 4th when they count the votes...this is what the Dem ticket will be saying...

I like that mcCain isnt scared to take a chance.

I guess it will be hard to knock Obama's experience when the VP candidate has been governor since December 2006 and before that was mayor of a town of 6000 people.

This should be the most entertaining election since...

Obama was on CNBC and stated his capital gains tax plan a couple months ago (they interviewed Obama, Clinton and McCain and asked them their tax plan for investments). Raise from what's now taxed at your tax bracket, to 40% across the board was Obama's answer (Hillary wanted to raise them to 28-31%). The democrooks call it a tax on the rich, but in reality, it will be a HUGE tax on the middle class, as the majority of investment $$ out there is everyone's 401k, IRA and/or pension... which the last time I looked, was not the rich, but the working class.

She's the ONLY one of the 4 (Obama, Biden, McCain or Palin) with any leadership experience at all. None of the others have RUN any area. Legislature, yes, executive office, NO.
