It wouldn't surpise me if the decision was totally impulsive and based on the DNC......especially the overwhelming reaction and respect given to Hillary. In his hurry to sideline the stupendous success of the DNC with his pick, the move has unfortunately backfired. No informed process was followed to pick a VP. This is the most important decision for McCain given his personal health. If McCain can fail in this decision how can we trust him to take solid, sound decisions for millions and millions of people. I feel sad to say, like George Bush, McCain too has become a source of ridicule with the international community! McCain may try to emulate the 'we are friends' with Sarah, similar to Obama and Joe. Watching Obama/Biden, we are so aware of the genuine chemistry between them and their wives and it gives a very warm, secure and comforting feeling. On the other hand, there was not chemistry between the Republicans though they did try patting Sarah's little kid. I guess in all fairness that is expected as they had met only once before. I keep hearing about Sarah's popularity but a couple of folks from the Alaskan media were very uncomplimentary. One even said the Dan Quayle was better! I have always had tremendous respect for McCain and I never thought I'd ever say this in my lifetime but....George Bush was smarter in his pick of a VP!!! Being a maverick has been glorified in the media but can we afford to have a President who can make such incompetent decisions? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To sum up McCain's choice, I quote Obama 'It's not because John McCain doesn't care.

The Democrats are in worse position. If the democrats win, Obama with no experience is the President.. If the Republican win, McCain with a lot of experience is the President.. Because his mom going 0n 95 years old, I do not think McCain will die immediately. Let just say he die on the third year, Palin would have 3 years experience as a Vice President, 2 years experience as a governor plus experience as a mayor. Palin experience is more superior than Obama the community organizer. Vote McCain/Palin. They talk about heart beat away from the Presidency.

He had gone from Baltimore County commissioner to Maryland governor to VP in just over two years. His name? Spiro Agnew. He had to resign because of his ties to the Mafia and 39 counts of extortion, conspiracy and bribery. I am not saying Gov. Palin has those particular flaws, but we sure don't know enough about her to put her up as the next President of the US. (Young people forget this has happened frequently. Within my lifetime several VP's have risen to the unelected status of President, specifically Truman, Johnson, Ford). As a registered independent I strongly believe this is a terrible decision on the part of Sen. John McCain.

The old saying "action speaks louder than words" is true here. She has just got the natural gas pipeline approved which is a major issue facing America. What has Barack accomplished? He has not governed at all and may have faced issues in the State senate, but was not the decision maker. He was only part of a group that voted on issues. It's a whole different thing, when as a Governor, you have to make tough decisions. The outcome doesn't allow you to blame others on how they voted.

That being said I was in the middle watching and waiting for the VP picks. I like McCain's pick it is fresh to have a new face that is not a Washington insider, and I am not concerned about the lack of experience. It looks like her biggest lack of experience will be how to play the games our congress and others like to play in the political arena. This is why I am going to vote for a Replublican this time instaed for a Democrat. I voted for Hillary Clinton in our primary and if she had won the nomination I would have voted for her again.

It's easy to point out Governor Palin's inexperience, however, each time it's mentioned, the Republicans can drive home the fact that Obama lacks a vast resume. Prior to being elected Senator of New York, Hillary Clinton had no experience; prior to becoming an Illinois Senator, Obama was a community organizer; with Palin being a relatively new Governor, there seems to be a pattern here that can be evenly applied. The debates will decide who has the chops and who blows hot air.

She is an excellent pick who stands up for what she believes, understands the average, hard-working families, and has had experience serving as commander and chief of her state of Alaska. Can Barack say that? Don't get me wrong, I obviously like Barack, or I wouldn't have considered voting for him, but his healthcare plan scares me. I fear it will hurt our system and bring lower quality healthcare. Family physicians in Canada can hardly make a living due to socialized healthcare. Also, when and where do we draw the lines on what government can regulate? America was founded on the principles of small government. People work hard and earn more. Yes, changes need to be made. Programs put in place, but his healthcare program is too "big government" and down right scary for me. On top of this, his promises haven't matched his record in the past. Some say voters don't know Palin well enough. I say, "I didn't know who Barack was six months ago." Some die hard democrats most certainly did; however, some die hard republicans knew Sarah Palin as well, which is why they had online sites pushing for her selection for VP. Great pick!

The Obama media attacked her for making her stand on having all votes count. The media never favored Hilary Clinton. She is viewed by the world to make sure that she says the exact correct words which Obama supporters wanted to hear. Give me a break, Hilary had the largest vote, even had the largest cheer at the Democratic Convention. Why did he not chose her for VP candidate? Obama seems to have a negative issue against women. Obama knows he will not win without Hilary Clinton's support. Now the Obama campaign will be requiring more and more of Hilary Clinton to speak for the Democrats. So who is really the candiate shinning more, it has to be Hilary Clinton. Some women maybe upset with McCain's Choice, stating that he could have chose other women, Obama insulted all women when he did not chose Hilary Clinton for his plan of change.

It is time for women of all ages and ethnicities to show that women need to be respected.

Have you ever seen kids fight???? Most of the men in power would not be able to handle it. If she can fight the oil company she can fight the lobbyists and more power to her. Besides, if Obama is supposed to be good at bringing sides together and working with opposing people, why could he not work with Hilary. I would say that he failed. Bidens a good man, but Hilary had 18 million people voting for her. If he can't handle Hilary how in hell is he going to handle Putin, or any of the terrorists. His first oportunity to show us that he could work with anyone and he failed, in my opinion. If it's not his way, he will take his ball and play with someone else.

But... hang on a second, for Palin to be VP doesn't she and McCain also have to be elected and by a lot more than 19M votes? And these votes must not be as good as the 19M because she is still not qualified...
This is fascism or communist at its best: "The American People are always right as long as they agree with me..." And this is also the reason why I am voting republican for the first time in 35 years!!!

Everything about this pick, from the person, to her demographics, to timing the announcement the day after Obama's acceptance speech, has all the earmarks of a desperate candidate and campaign.

This is not country first, it is politics first. This exercise in bad judgement scares me. We can not have someone so unqualified to be one heartbeat from taking over. She actually asked what the vp does on a clip that I just saw. This selection is a joke. The selection of Palin is an insult to our national intelligence.
