I could do her. I have a feeling she is fast and furious.

Re: McCain's VP pick
She is blunt, outspoken and charming. And don't assume she can't stand toe-to-toe with Joe Biden. She is a great debater. And she was runner-up for the Miss Alaska title, won Miss Congeniality in that contest, and plays the flute.
What more do you need to know?

Re: McCain's VP pick
She's a lot better looking than Mitt Romney, that's for sure.
My (other) thoughts:
- So much for putting the emphasis on experience, McCain.
- Can you imagine if President McCain kicked the bucket and she took over? That would certainly be...different.
- Politically it's a real smart move for McCain. He's clearly going right after the pissed off Hillary Clinton supporters. If he succeeds in stealing them from Obama, he wins.

Re: McCain's VP pick
Have to agree. Also better looking than McCain!
So, experience in the president was the theme. You can argue if it was a good one, but to equate "The president must be experiened" with "the vp must be experienced" is a stretch. Though this seems to be the way the argument is shaping up....
"stealing"? It must be nice to own voters

Re: McCain's VP pick
McCain has gambled the national security of America by choosing a running mate based on helping him win the election instead of qualification to run the country. The single critical qualification for any vice president is the ability to be the President of the United States. McCain will be 80 by the end of a second term. If he becomes unable to lead during his terms due to illness or death, Sarah Palin will become the next President.
She has the experience of being a mayor and one year as governor. The question is, do voters feel comfortable having a gun-toting pro-life sports reporter who doesn't have a single day of experience in Washington running the country? Is a hard-line conservative going to be any good at reaching across party lines to achieve the reform she promises?
I predict this will prove to be a cheap move to energize the conservative base and pander for Hillary's votes.
Lyda Green, (Republican) President of Alaska's State Senate:
What we do know for sure is that she believes global warming is not man-made, opposes polar bears being listed as a threatened species, and her opinion on the death penalty is "My goodness, hang 'em up, yeah." She wants to drill for oil in ANWR and her husband works for BP.

We'll have to wait and see what the media finds out about our potential President. Right now they and the Republicans don't know much about her.

Son's g/f
That shouldnt matter though, and even Barack didnt take advantage of that one. He said they would keep the families out of it and focus on the politics
