I also let a pregnancy go to term with a baby who had disabilities, but that has nothing to do with politics! This woman is ignorant, uneducated, and will be an embarrasment to our country is she is elected! I cannot even imagine the US with Palin as vice president or president!

Palin as a person and her quick accompanishment in life. I do not relate to her in her belief and do not see that she is qualified to be a heart beat away from Commander-in-Chief. She may have experience on municipal and state level, but we need a person with great educational and work background to run our country. Gov. Palin had a BA in jornalism and less than 2 years experience as a governor does not make kher qualify for a VP of great US of A. McCain has senatorial exprience with no educational background. What are we telling our kids here? That anyone is qualify to rule out country? No, we need to encourage education and it als reflects mostly on our RULERS... Obama on the other hand earned a JD from an elite school with concentration in foreign affair. He is loaded with educational and work experience-You cannot compare the two. Gov. Palin is pretty and an aggressive woman, but her winking and they way she smiles when she makes her negative remarks really gives me a chill. We need a change and that can only be accomplished by someone with experience. I admire Hilary and her belief. She has the same belief as Obama/Biden.. i am voting for Obama, come November!!

No Christian attacks and lies as Palin does and does it with such ugliness. No good mother puts her children lacking of her support (and she is more than just a working mother, she is an absent mother); no true American discounts the beliefs of others as she does and no intelligent woman comes across to pitiful. She tries to relate to the common person. Well "folks" she isn't one of us. Her encouraging the hate towards Obama is dispicable-not Christian like or patriotic. McCain almost had my vote, until he chose her--now I am questioning his ability to lead in a bipartisan way. He is no better than she and that is sad BUT at least he can speak without a speech written by others and he gets to go out to the public all by himself--she can't be trusted to do that too much. Wonder why folks? I find it sad that Christian women say they can relate to her--doesn't say much for our Christian population--she does not relate to my Christian women's group. ALSO, Christians, in your conservative circle, how many Joe Six packs are there???? I am sure the preacher would be surprised to hear you say lots! So many comments are describing my own opinions.

So I guess if she can't afford it her rapist can go free and welcomed to rape you and your daughters. Open your eyes and see the trueth. Palin never in life is a role model for any self respecting woman. How can I relate to a women who believes raped women should have no choice to carry the child of her rapist. Yes please remind me everyday for nine months of that awlful day. Please send us back to the back woods to kill oursleves with coat hangers, and unskilled doctors. Yes take away my civil liberties to happiness. Oh yes I can't forget that attending 5 different colleges (failed out of one) deems you as smart. Sarah Palin is married to a terrorist. He didn't want to have his state part of the US and she spoke many a times at the conventions. Oh and the shot out to third graders was because that was the extent of her husbands eductional background. Ladies,

I considered voting for McCain until he chose Palin, which shows a lack of leadership and common sense on McCain's part, and also shows that he, like President Bush, will do what they can to win the religious fundamentalist vote. McCain, like Bush, will forget his religious buddies if elected. Palin insults the strong, intelligent women who could have been chosen but weren't, and her subtle racist hints - no accidents but perfectly scripted remarks - are unsettling, dangerous, and immoral.

Smart, savvy, educated women, don't call themselves Joe-Six-pack, don't say you betcha,and they know what periodicals they read when asked. Her few interviews with Corporate Media have been disastrous. She was incoherent, ignorant, and unprepared. I would like to think that a Public Official is intelligent enough to think on his or her feet. This woman definitely does not have leadership qualities. Too bad for Alaska.
