way to go mccain
Published Aug. 30, 2008McCain did a great choice on picking governor Palin as his running mate. I think it was a slap in the face to the dems. If only they had a magic mirror and they could have seen into the future, they could have picked hillary. But you know what I say, tough tiddy but the milk still sweeeet!!! And on her not having experience, I much rather have the VP going to the president for advice and not the president going to the VP for advice. Won't that be what Obama will be doing with Biden.

-She was elected Alaska's governor just over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience. -Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest. -She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. -Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools. -She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change. -She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska. -How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.

Palin is a quick learner and will rapidly learn what she needs to backup McCain. The choice is clear, McCain/Palin.

If the Democrats had picked Hilary, they would have alienated a LOT of people who just don't particularly care for her. I'd love to see a woman in office, but for me, it's more about the *right* woman, and being the right choice for me has more to do with just your gender.
Had McCain picked a more moderate VP, I would seriously be considering voting for him. I liked the moderate McCain of the past, and I think a middle of the road veep selection would've signaled that he wanted to appeal to a moderate base. The selection of Palin, however, makes a ticket that I just can't get behind - as much as I respect another strong female, she's completely out of line with how I feel about some very important issues.
