Jess, when are YOU going to run for president? 
I'm not 35 yet  
If she did everyone would bust her because she's got "no experience"

Re: McCain's VP pick - it's official!!!
This adds to Obama's statements that McCain just does not get it. I would sure love to see a woman as VP, but come on not just any woman. She is a soccer mom and past beauty queen who just became governor. Now we want to put her a heartbeat away from our president.
This is not the time for gimmicks republicans.
ETA: If I was Palin I would be insulted. I agree with the earlier poster that they will have her decorating the white house if they win and we will never see her again.

I am not a McCain fan, but I think it is a great pick.

If she was a man, with the same qualifications... would everyone still think it was a good pick?

whoa, whoa, whoa, I take extreme offense to that soccer mom comment!!
Seriously - I think it is offensive and I don't see how it pertains to how successful she can or will be in politics.
This is the exact kind of bs that holds women back from being equal to men in this society.

I was just thinking this. I think a lot of people like her just because she is a woman and could be president. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a woman leading our country, but a she would not be my pick from what I know so far.
Just heard she's a lifelong member of the NRA too. Great.

I'm not really in the mood for drama......so all i'll say is that killing is killing is killing. Eye for an eye is a little bit old thinking. I would love to think that our society is a little more evloved than that. Maybe not.
what we need is prison reform and making a life sentence mean just that...LIFE. It costs more to kill and man than to keep him in jail for life.

Re: McCain's VP pick - it's official!!!
I think the selection of her, if its intended to lure the Hillarr supporters, is basically an insult to the intelligence of Hillary supporters. Palin is VERY opposite from Hillary, about the only thing they have in common is that they are both women.
She's totally socially conservative, pro-life, anti gay marriage, pro capital punishment, pro drilling in the Alaska wildlife preserve, has big ties to big oil. She has no experience (I'm sorry but 2 years as govenor of Alaska is not enough experience to be a heartbeat away from preisdent, especially when that president is as old as McCain, IMO)
McCain made a "panic" pick and I think the next 60 or so days are going to show that.
I'm interested to hear the first quote from Hillary on the topic.

Totally agree!! I am not a fan of Hillary's but it annoys me to no end when they say that Palin was designed to lure disgruntled Hillary voters. How exactly??? I don't think they have one iota in common.
If they really wanted to lure Hillary voters, I gotta think there was a better choice than an ultra-conservative.
I think history is going to say that this was a bad choice.

Re: McCain's VP pick - it's official!!!
I think this was definitely a surprising move on McCain's part as everyone expected someone else, but definitely a good choice...I'm looking forward to learning more about her...the VP debates should be interesting.

because a big part of his argument against Obama, is how he's inexperienced - and then he goes and chooses a vp candidate who less than two years ago was a small town mayor in Alaska  just doesn't make sense...and there are many political analysts who think this was absolutely the wrong choice, and will be a detriment to his campaign
not to mention she opposes gay marriage and is anti-abortion
just seems he's heading downhill from here

Re: McCain's VP pick - it's official!!!
right now, he is using her to court the conservatives that think HE is too liberal, and the women who just want a WOMAN in the office...and don't care as much for policy.
if you are a conservative woman...he had you at hello anyway
