Fox news is confirming that Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, will be his VP pick. What say you?

My initial reaction is that it's a dumb mistake that could cost him the election. She's younger than The Obama, and she's relatively unknown. My concern is that this is a political ploy to sway a portion of the disenfranchised Hillary supporters. Yesterday's rumor was Romney based on an earbud wearing security team that appeared with him everywhere he went. I hope this is just another stupid rumor...
-
From what I know of her so far I love this pick. She is a tough chick. 5 kids and still rose to be governor of her state. Got pissed at the governor and resigned to run against him and beat him. Has attacked corruption and pork barrel spending. Played hockey. Damn good looking, miss alaska runner-up.
If she is as good as she looks initially I think McCain may have hit a home run.
-
My initial reaction is how can McCain pick a woman that has only been governor, of Alaska for that matter, for only 2 years. This is a person that has to be ready to be President of the United States if God forbid something happen to the president.
Then I started reading about her and some of her history and think he may have picked a good one. I will have to wait and read more about her and find our what she is really about before making an overall opinion.
I also think McCain could have picked a chimpanzee and he would have still gotten my vote...

She has as much experience as Governor as The One has as Senator.

The entire bunch of the
Hitler Hillary supporters are about to jump off the Dem's sinking ship. Hussein can start the bus. It is OVER!
Loving it!

Well, I'd put any Governor way ahead of any Senator. Governors tend to be stronger leaders. Senators manage, lead and make decisions based on committees, sing-alongs and sleep-overs.

CNN (Communist News Network) has already started bashing her.

I've got to admit that she's fairly impressive. I didn't know much about her, but after reading and watching various things on the intrawebs, she might just be the secret weapon that McCain needs. The next few months will be interesting. I hope that she prove's to be the bulldog that she appears to be.
By the way, I just caught McCain's little tag line message, Country First. It really hasn't received much recognition, and I haven't even paid any attention to it until now. You have to admit; it's a lot stronger than what we've been hearing out of the Democrats. The Democrats always seem to be about "me, me, me", "I want more" and "what do I get", and this is a direct attack on that. You could argue that the concepts of "Change" and "Hope" are essentially the same, but in reality, they're just representative of the worthless feelings and emotions that appeal to Liberalism.

Just watched her speech and she seems pretty impressive. I think the Obamaites are a little stunned, they were supposed to have a campaign spokesman on Fox to comment on the speech and he didn't even show up.
-
Impressive, yes, even in 1984 as a beauty queen:

And her eldest daughter ain't half bad either (on the far right)

But anyway, back to the politics, and the US making history of either electing the first woman to the Vice Presidency, or the first "African American" to the presidency...yadayadayada.

No - I think both of those items reflect her political views. She is pro-life (pregnancy termination was never an option even tho they knew before the baby was born that it had problems). She will be supportive of the military.
She is also an avid hunter and a lifelong NRA member.

NRA. NRA, NRA. NRA.
Choosing Palin has to be the ballsiest move in politics EVAR.

Four excellent reasons to illustrate that she is a solid conservative and why I will be enthusiastically supporting her and McCain. As a Governor she's got more experience than The One's U.S. Senate experience (not to mention, as GarMan pointed out, her Executive Office experience is better than ANY senator). She was a bold choice for McCain and I think that she is the right choice.
-
This was the game winning goal by McCAin's strategists.
I know some hard core liberals that are livid at this choice. Mark my words, McCain will lead in the next poll.
The Obama camp will likely bash her lack of experience, which will only bring attention back to his equally, if not less experienced, record. And he's running for the #1 spot, not the #2 spot.
Obviously, this pulls in all of the Hilary supporters who were never crazy about Obama. Specifically the women voters who were pulling for her for no reason other than her gender.
Many true conservatives were less than thrilled about McCain's many centrist views. Cue the militant pro-life NRA member.
The #1 jab at McCain has been his age. Many Obama supporters have been hanging her hat on his youth. Cue someone actually YOUNGER than Obama. And Biden is no spring chicken.
This pick pretty much patched up each and every chink in McCain's armor with one fell swoop.
-
The Dems spent the weekend trying everything to discredit her. They went after everything....

BabyGate: Explosive New Details [Photos+Video]
by ArcXIX
Sun Aug 31, 2008 at 04:39:54 PM PDT
Yesterday, the nation at large was introduced to Sarah Palin's fraudulent claims of maternity by numerous photographs, video, and a timeline that made even those accepting of the 'official' story turn their heads in confusion.
The revelation that had been whispered among the Alaskan legislature was explosive. Sarah Palin is not the mother of Trig Palin. Her daughter is the mother. Scarce if any refutations to the contrary have come forward, and now damning incidents and evidence has come to light.
Mothers of the world have reeled back in disgust and horror at Sarah's dangerous and possibly fatal story of flying 4000 miles even as she was supposedly in the process of entering labor a month early. Sarah needs to honestly answer for her lies, promptly.

Secessionist Sarah: VP pick Sarah Palin and the Alaska Independence Party
by Liz Arnett

In spite of the rethug efforts to delete Sarah Palin's history, particularly between 2004 and 2006, we found a real gem on you tube this evening.
The clips show the connection between Sarah Palin and the Alaska Independence Party. (We downloaded the clips and re-uploaded them into our own you tube account in case they get taken down.)

Palin thinks Pledge written by Founding Fathers
by JLFinch
Sun Aug 31, 2008 at 02:56:04 PM PDT
Good lord, this woman is a female George Bush.
Here is Palin's response to a candidate questionnaire for the Alaska 2006 gubernatorial race:
Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance
JLFinch's diary :: ::
Ok.
First, the Pledge of Allegiance was not written by the Founding Fathers. It was written much later. Secondly, the words "under God" were not originally part of the Pledge. "Under God" was added even later.
...
All of this seems to have been proven false, by the way.

I wish that were true but current polling trends are showing Obama pulling ahead by an average of 6.4% on RealClearPolitics.com which is a fairly reputable source:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html
However, Obama's going to have to do much better than that (and maintain it) in order to win the election I think.
And the Republicans still have the rest of the Convention this week including the speech of Sarah Palin's political career and John McCain's acceptance speech which I hope will be heaps better than speeches that he's done in the past.
(For the record I am a Republican and an NRA member.)
