Looks like McSane is picking a 1st term Gov from Alaska. What's her name and who is she? All I know that she's pretty green. Hates gays and believes women shouldn't have an abortion no matter what....
If McCain chooses Sarah Palin then I guess he really wants this election to be all about HIM.
McSame still doesn't get that in a democracy elections are supposed to be about THE VOTERS. He really thinks he's Bush.
Palin just arrived by plane, only 44, femalem unknown! what's gonna happen should grampa Mcbush kick off????
WoW! What an awsome, kickbutt, hoooah speech last night! Go Obama!
If McCain really does pick Paulin to be his VP candidate, does that mean he's going to use the C word on her too?
CNN radio lies was just on. This has to be as bad as fox.
Asked about Obama's speech, they hemmed and hawed and said it was ok. Then they announced that mcasshole is in a dead heat with Obama.
Do believe these f**king lies? The FCC needs to shut them down.
Good morning Democrats! What an awesome night we had last night! Go Obama!!!!
Here is a nice resource, or forward to send to anyone undecided. It is from a DUer who has done an excellent job writing and documenting.

I stopped watching CNN this week - all they had one were people who didn't have anything positive to say about the Dems. If I wanted that horse poop, I would have watched FOX. I will never watch them again. In fact, I'm going to put a "block" on that channel - they can join FOX.
Ok so McNuts is going to pick the bitch from AK - so what does that mean to us? (I use that term because McCreep thinks it's ok to call a women that - what goes around comes around). Since she has NO experience -= does that mean that MSM and the repukes will have to drop that charge against Obama???? :)
Okay DNC, let's see the opp. research on Palin, don't hold back!
John -
First Amendment. Ever hear of it?
FCC shutting down CNN? Come on. That isn't what Democrats stand for.

Two More Pointlets on Obama [Jay Nordlinger]
1. There were several strong speeches at this convention — Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Kerry, Biden, and Gore. All quite strong. The Dem party has some speakers. I wasn’t sure that Obama could best them, or equal them. But he bested them all — with flying colors. Not just because he was the nominee, and the Main Event. But because he did.
2. If I were a Democrat, I’d be delirious with joy. Never will they have such a candidate, and never will they have such a favorable year. [...]em>

Isn't palin the one that said McCain agreed that insurance should cover birth control since they cover viagra, then when McCain was asked that question we only heard crickets?
I don't think the American women are dumb enough to fall for this republican gimmick.
McCain is anti-women's rights.
Less than a year experience? Are you kidding me? To VP for an old fart? I'm sure she has great insight into foreign policy.
I can only think that McSame bought into all the BS of MSM re: Hillary supporters. An anti abortionist who was Miss Alaska? Yeah, I'm sure we can all relate..
Guess this means that McCreep has to drop the "Obama doesn't have experience" crapola.... just what we need, an inexpereienced scoccer mom, who hates gays, doesn't support abortion rights - no matter what and will be one step from the President chair should the 73 year old croak... makes me feel real secure.
you have to wonder what kindergarden McNuts would empty out to choose his cabinet from?
oh for the love of pete
this is the DNC blog - can't we get somebody to fix this piece of shit ?
Did I need to add, "I am delirious with joy" or does it go without saying? I'll tell you one thing, I slept well last night for the first time in years. I'd only add one thing to Obama's speech. Besides saying "Enough!" to the McSame NeoCon's, we need to say "Nonsense!" when they spout their ridiculous claims.
I'm making a donation to Obama in the name of the beauty queen McSnark just named..bbl
By picking Gov. Palin, McCain is demonstrating that he would pick another Clarence Thomas -- (Black in color only, but White and dangerous for everything else).
She is not for woman's rights, she is merely window dressing to pander to those less intelligent Hillary supporters (and I hope there are none), who cannot discern that being a woman with the wrong views is like being black with the wrong views.
McCain did not pick anyone who oculd be President, but someone who would in his small mind pick up votes among ignorant voters, or those who do not know or fully understand the significance of Hillary Clinton and what she stands for or why Palin is a danger to intelligent women like Hillary.
Back - just made my donation to Obama... this is for the beauty scoccer mom queen with NO experience.....
Tawanna-
If you hit the preview button it will refresh. You have to scroll down through numerous banners. Oh well, it works better than it did.
McCain's pick of Palin shows that when he will want a black person he will pick Clarence Thomas. When he wants a woman he picks the antitheses of Hillary Clinton, someone who will undermine woman's rights. This pick shows that cCain is worse than I imagined. He has no interest in America, women rights, black rights, the economy, but in winning.
What would really be scary is if Paulin is dumb enough to consent to running with a vile tempered old jerk who continually disrespects women. It would not speak well for her self-image as a woman.
McGeezer is so transparent.... but you have to hand it to him. He'll shore up the extreme religious whacko's in this country who want put the gays back in the closet and make women subservient to their men...and to make sure that women go back the middle ages... but think about it. There will be women out there who don't have a brain who will vote for him just because there's a set of boobs beside him...
Sort of like last night, they were interviewing the crowd and they came up a gal with a fashionable mall mullet, they asked her who she was for and she said she hadn't decided yet. They then asked her if she was going to watch Obama's speech later and she relied - no...
People like that make my head hurt.
LOL Kathy- people with mullets make my head hurt. :)
Leaving town again, gotta go.
Which reminds me, Go Obama!
Man these Pugs are even more ignorant then i thought, do they really think that the American people is going to vote for this ticket, with McNuts ready to keel over at any time. And a inexperienced mother of 5 children to take care of. How could she run the country? I raised 5 children my self, and i can tell you from experience its a full time job alone. This confirms that McNuts is several bricks short of a full load. Jeez We'll i would like to say, thanks McNuts, from the bottom of my heart, for icing it for us. I knew he was senile from the start.
Isn't it interesting how the media can shape political thinking? Even on the internet. One small example: on Google's news page, out of 2,879 possible sources concerning Obama's speech, they choose to highlight this one:
USA Today
News Analysis In Speech, Bringing Lofty Words Down to Earth
New York Times - 39 minutes ago
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his wife, Jill, with Senator Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, faced a crowd of nearly 80000 people on Thursday night at Invesco Field in Denver.
You've got to ask yourself, why not this one:
Soaring speech from Obama, plus some specifics
Christian Science Monitor, MA - 4 hours ago
The Democratic nominee delivers strongest case yet against McCain campaign, prods Americans to change the direction of the country ?
Or this one:

Wall Street Journal - 7 hours ago
The famous Greek amphitheatre didn't look all Alexander the Great if you were there. It looked instead like the big front display window at Macy's during .
Or even this one:
Obama Hails `America's Promise,' Says McCain `Doesn't Get It'
Bloomberg - 8 hours ago
By Kristin Jensen and Julianna Goldman Aug. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for president, mixing a soaring pledge to ...
Is it because they know that many readers won't go beyond the blurbs when forming their political opinions?
You can expect a lot of rhetoric over the next weeks from Republicans about how unrealistic Obama is about what he can do for America. That's because they don't get it. It's not about what Obama can do; it's about what we can do. And we can do better than the last 8 years. Much, much better.
I wonder if the flags the repugs are waving in Dayton, OH were made in china? ;P
I doubt they were made in a Union shop in the USA.
McCain's pick of Palin shows that when he will want a black person he will pick Clarence Thomas.

Wonderful! Thanks, WakeUpAmerica
This has truly been a history making 24 hrs. for the Democratic Party!!!! Not only did the first African-American accept the party's nomination for President, but the Republicans just handed the election to the Dems with their VP pick.
And inexperienced woman governor, with 5 children to take care of, from a sparsely populated state. And McNuts wants to talk about the experience of Obama. Talk about the pot coloring the kettle black.
Those in the OH crowd have signs that say, "ready to lead" they have in small print..."into the ground."
July incomes drop by largest amount in 3 yearsBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON - Personal incomes plunged in July while consumer spending slowed significantly as the impact of billions of dollars in government rebate checks began to wane.
The Commerce Department reported Friday that personal incomes fell by 0.7 percent in July, the biggest drop in nearly three years and a far larger decline than the 0.1 percent decrease analysts expected...
So Sarah Palin is going to share the Alaskan oil pipeline tax revenues with the rest of American consumers reeling from inflation and job loses?
McClain's own supporters obviously thought that he was such a weak presidential candidate that his camp felt compelled to go out and find a conservative woman who embraces 100% of Bush's agenda instead of his 90%?
Rural conservatives males are going to vote for a woman whom their religious training tells them must be subordinate to men? Middle class working women are going to vote for a woman who also believes it?
I think a lot of woman are going to be outraged by this choice by GOP men...a woman who wants to turn back the clock and ignore all gains that have been made in the past century for gender equality? A woman who agrees whole heartedly with Bush's failed policies?
She's a breath of fresh air alright; she comes from Alaska. But, she has no idea how polluted the economic picture has become for working families in Middle America in the bottom 48 states.
McCain has chosen another out-of-touch Republican and political oddity like himself. He's effectively ceded the "experience" argument against Obama by appointing Palin.
McCain's "judgement" just became an even bigger issue with worried Americans.
Sarah Palin, the former part-time mayor of a small Alaskan town (and I mean small like 8,000 people), can take on the former head of the KGB and a new Cold War? Sarah Palin can negotiate with Arab oil shieks? Sarah Palin can strengthen the dollar and shore up the FDIC?
Rove's poll numbers in key swing states must have been just as I thought. McCain was forced to appoint a Far Right conservative trophy wife because they were deserting his Marverick ship in droves.
This couldn't be a more irresponsible choice. It flies against the wisdom of someone who says national security is the only issue this election.
McCain has failed in the first decision of his presidency...really failed.
He needs to be institutionalized not given the button to our nuclear arsenal.
bbl.
Are the Dems competent to blast Palin for being a woman for the sake of being a woman, with no rationale or reasons to justify her taking on this important position. this is McCain's first move, can the Dems play hardball the way that the Republicans played hardball on the Dems. The Dems need to blow this pick out of the ball park before ASAP if they want to win.

Very Good Esmeralda, and right on target.
I am seriously looking forward to the VP Debate.
Biden will chew her up and spit her out.
Dems need to play up seriously how McCain is only pandering. Palin is not qualified.
Did McCain pick the most qualified Republican woman...much less the most qualified person during a time of turmoil and uncertainty.
I don't care what she stands for. I care if she has any idea what is going on outside of Alaska?
I just came back from there on vacation. It's like an Shangrila in a dying world...completely isolated for the outside world. This woman is going to be in way over her. McCain was already in of his head.
At least Kaye Hutchinson or Christi Whitman know what the challenge is...even if they chose to ignore it.
I'm so angered with the GOP that they would place these two doorknobs in charge of my children's future. Who is he going to appoint to his war cabinet? The rest of Palin's hockey mother buddies?
How irresponsible can the Republicans get?
Happy Birthday John McCain -- complete with all 72 candles
Today, August 29, is John McCain's 72nd birthday. In the spirit of the week, we respect John McCain as a person, but don't think he should be president of the United States.
To show that there aren't any hard feelings, here are 72 candles:
iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii iiiiii
Just remember, if John McCain wins in November, he will be the oldest first-time president in the history of the United States.
Before there was television, air conditioning in automobiles, World War II, contact lenses, McDonald's, the Interstate Highway System, the space program, Astroturf, videotapes, and satellites, there was John McCain.

Geez - Sandy - we think alike! I've been reading some other blogs and the cry is going up about him picking someone with no - zip - nada experience and his age... but it'll be good for the religious freaks who want women bare foot and knocked up and gays back in the closet.
I am seriously looking forward to the VP Debate. Biden will chew her up and spit her out. Dems need to play up seriously how McCain is only pandering. Palin is not qualified. Posted by TMH on August 29, 2008 at 11:50 AM
This might pose a problem with Biden - he might not be able to go after her as he would a man.....
This is the same old Pug Shit pick some one that is anti gay, anti abortion, pro gun, she's a fisherman, and a hunter. Plus to get bitter Hillary voters. But the fact is she has Nada experience. No woman could run this country with 5 children to take care of, when McNuts kicks off.
This deserves to be posted again. from 10:41 above. Click his name above for everything you need to know about Palin.

Posted by chassie on August 29, 2008 at 11:44 AM
My daughter, who had to be in Alaska for 10 months on business, is in a state of shock over this pick. Alaska is so far 'out of it". It is about 25 years behind the rest of the nation. It is made up of Eskimos, and others. The alcoholism rate there is extremely high because of the long night, and then sun when you try to sleep.
And with the latest image Ted Steven, his son, and Young have given to Alaskan Republicans, what a field day we can have with this one!
McCain thinks all of Hillary Supporters are going to flock over to him now.
Anyone who watched Obama speech last night with an open mind, with no bigotry in their hearts, and compare him and Biden to Grampy McSame and Palin, have just got to realize the difference!
(I don't agree with the first part of this, but the rest is right on.)
"No, Barack Obama did not land a knockout blow tonight. But he showed that he fully understands that the best defense is a good offense. After weeks of absorbing punishment from John McCain, Obama went on the attack.
Obama's decision to target McCain so closely was a risky strategy, but it paid off.
The contrast with past Democratic candidates such as John Kerry and Michael Dukakis could not have been starker. Obama showed that he does not conform to the image of the Democrat as wussbag by directly assailing McCain's foreign policy credentials -- specifically, his claim that he would "follow" Osama bin Laden to the "gates of hell." But why just follow? As Obama made clear, he needs to be taken out.
The Obama campaign should keep concentrating its firepower on the Bush-McCain foreign policy record. McCain isn't simply a cheerleader for the Iraq War; he helped dream it up

Kathy,
Sarah Palin can appoint two to four conservative Supreme Court judges....that's just about all she's qualified to do.
So it's never really been about national security with McCain. It's not about the economy with Republicans. It's about the Religious Right again and their pet projects.
The hell with the welfare of the country. Let America go down in flames because The Rapture is near. The interests of working people and the American Dream must be sacrificed for The Good People....who think that they (and they alone) are the only people of faith.
I'm sick of these selfish, self-righteous hypocrites exerting their prejudices over the rest of us. If they won't respect others, they deserve to be buried by the full weight of an angry electorate sick of living with failure after failure.
I don't think Sarah Palin will be seen as a victim if Biden grills her own her national security credentials. Americans expect all women candidates to live up to Hillary's tough standards now. Palin can't lower the bar and cry abuse.
What a pair. McCain admits he knows nothing about the economy. Palin knows nothing about national security. They're the more clueless couple since Bush/Cheney....whom they unabashedly admit they want to imitate.
Larry Kudlow, is on CNBC. pushing this woman, saying that McNuts, is sucking the oxygen out of Obama's speech last night these folks are truly crazy!
I can see the VP Debate now:
Biden: I know Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a freind of mine. Governor, you are no Hillary Clinton.
Bring it on!!!!
I know gregg posted this one before, but it needs repeating:
Putin Asserts Link Between US Election and Georgia WarFriday 29 August 2008
»
by: Philip P. Pan and Jonathan Finer, The Washington Post
Moscow - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he had reason to think U.S. personnel were in the combat zone during the recent war in Georgia, adding that if confirmed, their presence suggested "someone in the United States" provoked the conflict to help one of the candidates in the American presidential race.
http://www.truthout.org/article/putin-asserts-link-between-us-election-and-georgia-war
Just look at McNuts, he's got to read everything.
nothing in his head. Obama's got it in his head, this old fool has to read it.
McCain: What a sexist pig. He has a "trophy wife" and now he has chosen a "trophy VP". How Republican can you get???? It may be McCain's birthday, 72nd birthday, but the Dems get the gift. What a Country !!!
For those who are wondering about the investigation into Palin:
"Gov. Sarah Palin's own legislature launched a $100,000 investigation earlier this month, as the Associated Press reported, "to determine if Palin dismissed Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire (a state) trooper, Mike Wooten. Wooten went through a messy divorce from Palin's sister. Palin has denied the commissioner's dismissal had anything to do with her former brother-in-law. And she denied orchestrating the dozens of telephone calls made by her husband and members of her administration to Wooten's bosses."
As she is clearly familiar with abuse of power for personal reasons, she should fit right in with the Bush/Cheney/McSame crowd!
I can see the VP Debate now:
Biden: I know Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a freind of mine. Governor, you are no Hillary Clinton.
Bring it on!!!!

Republicans are real big on being cheerleaders for failing policies. Let's hope that Spunky shows up a the convention after all.
That photo opp of him embracing this dynamic duo will be priceless. Kind of like that one of FDR, Churcill, and Stalin?
The decline and fall of Western civilization and the American Dream has never been so clear.
Romney must be so relieved that he's not been forced to be a part of this truly embarrassing moment in American history.
I see that all of the dumpy progressive women are jumping all over Sarah Palin. I bet its because they jealous of her. A non-dumpy hottie for Vice President would be nice. Hillary didn´t have a chance and all the liberal Brunhildas are throwing fits. BWhahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
I'm so excited! it's mcinsanes bd and palins anniversary. she's pulling out all the punches! husband is union man, son off to war.

Don't you love the beehive?
Palin reminds me of some of the Republican women I've worked with on the PTA. They are lovely people without a care in the world. They dabble in politics because they don't feel qualified to pursue a working career and it would get in the way of their family life.
Bin Lauden must rolling on the cave floor laughing.
At least she admits that McCain had a long list of qualified people...and she thanks her lucky stars that McCain was demented enough to chose her instead. It's going to be such a grand adventure.

why don't you brag about her accomplishments...like how she baked the best cookies for the pta meeting.
all she is is window dressing for an old man with failed policies.
This pick shows two things, Rove thinks there are more women that vote based on gender than there are sexists in the republican voting public. He also sees that he has been defined as bush and somehow this pick is supposed to show he is not. Romney would have been better, he must be pissed.

Esmeralda, are you trying to convert these people, as Ohio is a really important state. Or are they hopeless? How do you think Ohio will go this time? Do you think that there will be any cheating with the machines?
she's leaving her family and her state to campaign.
oh my goodness! she is on a cause!
chassie, please don't get me on the machines! hahaha
I've worked for the democratic party my whole adult life and have been very involved in a few (one very high profile here in OH) campaigns.
I'm now in a position that I can't address publically like I have in the past. I'm not putting you off, so I hope you can try to understand.
Ohio voters in the rural areas are VERY conservative. I lean that way, a moderate if you will. (I'm in the hills of SE OH) it's my culture and I have no plans to be something I'm not.
How Ohio goes will depend on who visits where. Our Governor, Ted Strickland, has a secret weapon, they live all along the WV border.
Posted by Esmeralda on August 29, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Well Essie/ jacqui, I think don´t think sarah Palin has to be ashamed of the fact that she might have baked cookies for the pta, whats wrong with that anyway; its alot better than aborting babies by a long shot. Plus, she don´t have what Hillary(LOSER) has:

TMH,
Hey, that's the comparison the Far Right wants Biden to make. They still hate Hillary for being the responsible one and standing up to save her marriage. She was suppose to divorce him and retreat like a wounded, weak female.
Democrats should never be allowed to be seen as people of faith in the eyes of the public.
Rove 101
Do you realize that this idiot woman has just unleashed the full wrath of Bill Clinton and his political machine by saying Hillary worked so hard...so she, Sarah Palin, could become Vice President.
He's going to go out in those rural areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania (hell, the rural areas of West Virginia...and Alaska) and campaign for Obama like he never did for himself. Nobody insults and belittles his wife's hard-fought triumph.
So John McCain wants us to roll the dice and gamble away the future of this country when we are at our weakest point since the Great Depression and Hitler?
Lord help, Palin, as she goes out on the road and has to cross paths with any of the HillRaisers.
I might be wrong, but didn't the Democrats run a woman as Vice President already...like maybe 30 years ago. What's so unique about Palin's candidacy?
I'm sure sally* is delighted by this choice and will now change his mind and vote for McCain with complete confidence. haha.
I would have felt more threatened with a Romney pick because of Michigan and he has enough experience to run the country. I didn't say well or in the peoples interest, but he could have run it the same as bush and mccain.

as far as your abortion/pta comment, you are as baked as the cookies.
Mondale-Ferraro
Clinton-Lewinsky
McCain-Palin.
Not a very good history of success.
So it's never really been about national security with McCain. It's not about the economy with Republicans. It's about the Religious Right again and their pet projects
Sandy, I have read in more than one book about the Right Wing extremists, that all they REALLY want to do, is to get that Supreme Court and all the other courts in the land, packed with right wing zealots, who will turn this country around and back 100 years as far as Women and Minority rights go! It is not just Roe v Wade they want to get rid of. It is many other things, too.
And THAT is why, whether the Hillary Supporters like him or not-----They Must hold their nose if necessary and fill in that Democratic Dot! For no other reason that this one!
These are LIFETIME appointments, which mean guys like Roberts and Alito , etc are going to be around for a long, long time! Look at what they have done so far!

Essie,
She certainly will reign in the Religious Right... but at the risk of alienating all the male chauvinist pigs that make up the rest of the Republican Base.
Are seniors going to to feel comfortable putting their security in the hands of a woman gadfly when they remember the strong WACs from WW II? This woman is presuming a hell of a lot.
McCain has found a way to frighten a whole generation he had in his pocket...as well as insult a huge chunk of his own Base with this choice. Could this twit make a black man seem a much stronger candidate?
Her story line may be appealing, but there is no way this person can live up the challenges she has no idea exist...just like McCain.
Unbelievable. The experience and judgment questions have now completely been reversed by McCain's own hand...and this after that speech last night where Obama looked so mature and in command?
Let's see how Palin defines her capabilities?
bbl.

Yep - me too! The only thing that bothers me is that she is such an unknown. I mean who the hell is she anyway??? So, having said that, we need to start poring over her records - get everything we know on the blog here for everyone to read up on. Let's educate ourselves so we know how to handle suck an unknown!
I already had a co-worker dumbass repuke come smiling and excitedly up to me and say - isn't this exciting? I looked at her and said who the hell is that? Then I said - we tried that 30 years ago - it didn't get us very far becasue Mondale was a losing candidate like McNuts is.
She walked away saying that I could go to hell....ummm must have hit a nerve... me thinks the repukes are a little gun shy this morning after watching the huge crowd last night for Obama.
Posted by BlueinIdaho on August 29, 2008 at 01:18 PM
Blogging again on company time? Don´t you have some Insurance cases to take care of?
Contrary to what has been posted, Palin was the best choice McCain could have made. She poses a real threat to our chances in Nov. If you step back and look at what she has accomplished in 44 years, you cant help but get nervous about Nov.
She is bright, articulate, fairly decent looking, and a political maverick who bucked her own party and ours. She seemingly always comes out on top (even agaisnt much better foes).
The only plus she brings to our side is that she takes away McCain's argument about Obama's lack of experience (although McCain will make the distinction that she is the VP candidate and that her position as gov gives her more experience that Obama). This pick was not good for dems.
I am just surprised that he had the balls/intelligence to choose her.
Posted by chassie on August 29, 2008 at 01:23 PM
Never easy, chassie. We now have re-double our efforts to find Democratic votes and make sure they are cast. Don't ever underestimate the other side. Let's concentrate on our Base. The Independents were already alarmed and must be stroked as well.
The population of Alaska is about the same as the population of Delaware.

A lib wouldn´t have 5 kids. They would have all been aborted, or else they´d be a bunch of little welfare bastards.
Hey....Last night was the most inspirational night that the Dmeocratic Party has had in decades. It was absolutely effin brilliant.
Close race???? Brahahahaha...Not on your life..but it is a very good thing psychologically for us (and I guess the dumbshit republicans) to think so....Apathy can be a bad thing and when you are kicking the shit out of your opponent, you do have a tendency to relax.
Not this time.
Palin??? Pleeeeezzz...I wouldn't be a bit surprised in Pawlenty and Romney both saw the writing on the wall and said..."well ya know, I don't really want to go down the shit shute with ya big John"....Anybody remember a failed run as a losing VP candidate on a losing ticket come back??
With Palin, she can lose, go back to Alaska and eat more moose burgers and continue to fuck around in the local scene. Not so for the other knuckleheads.
It's over....I have predicted for some time that McBomb will suffer the largest losing margin by a republican candidate in a presidential election, in the history of the republican party.
Ohhhhhhhh....that's right...it's a very tight race!!
Brahahahahahaha........
Kathy,
You cannot make the same comparison to Mondale in 84. This is a different time, different election.
Michigan is still in play with Palin as VP because of her union ties. There is also no doubt that she will draw women voters to the GOP, while shoring up McCain's conservative base.
Obama also cannot attack her inexperience becauase of his own perceived inexperience. Rove must be high fiving everybody he sees. McCains picks an unconventional vp candidate who doesn't upset his base, yet appeals to women and independent voters. This is our worst nightmare.
Posted by SandyH on August 29, 2008 at 01:24 PM
He only picked her because he thinks Americans are stupid. Hopefully, there aren't enough stupid people that believe a vagina and a POW frequent flier card qualify you for the presidency.
Ooooh, looks like I hit a nerve with the troll. Excellent!
The Obama campaign also told CNN Friday the choice of Palin takes the question of experience "off the table.""Experience is being taken off the table considering you're putting someone within a heartbeat of the presidency with the thinnest foreign policy experience in history," spokesman Bill Burton said.
Update: Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the 4th ranking House Democrat, said in a statement the choice of Palin "shows political panic."
"Is this really who the Republican Party wants to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency? Given Sarah Palin's lack of experience on every front and on nearly every issue, this Vice Presidential pick doesn't show judgment: it shows political panic," he said.
This is going to be very interesting. I hope the Obama camp will make sure that we nail McCain on this pick - rough her up and then finish the job in Novemeber.
Yep, I guess the only card that the smearmachine had against Obama, "inexperience" was just flushed down the toilet with the rest of the GOP.
bbl.
This is our worst nightmare.Posted by CRTG on August 29, 2008 at 01:39 PM
Don't think so - now Mitt might have been the worse case because he does have pull in Michigan but this gal - no way.
Give one example - just one of what she has done that we can't counter - just one - I'll wait..you've got all day..just one little thing...
Sarah will be able to ad her service as Vice President to her resume prior to assuming the Presidency if necessary. As city council member, mayor and Governor - she has much more experience than Hussein Obama.
And she was wearing a skirt not a pantsuit! I guess she is comfortable with the size of her ass.
Does she have any ties to the oil companies? Just because her husband is union doesn't mean squat because she still supports a party that would like to outlaw organized labor in this country. She passed a law to make political parties more honest - good for her. She should start with the Republican party because they sure need it. What else has she done??? Baked cookies? A little flour in the face doesn't make your presidental material - same as being a POW - doesn't make you presidental material either.
Did you notice how close McCain stood next to Palin during her speech? I guess he had to manipulate the strings on his puppet.
As was noted by others, Palin is just a gimmick.
the multi personalities have arrived. and they have their claws out.
fight like a man, you wussie.
Paulin sounds like another Republican mouthpiece in the mold of Phyllis Schafley. For the younger of us, Schafley was a Republican, the leader of the (evil) Eagle Forum, and made tens of thousands of dollars(big money back in the 70s) touring the country telling the rest of us to stay barefoot, pregnant, and vote against the Equal Rights Amendment.
So now we have another hypocritical Republican female.
Republicans haven't changed any in the last 30 years.
There has to be something wrong with a political party that attracts people like them.

This is exactly what repukes do when they have no fight left, nothing to talk about because they don't have any issues to discuss. It's the same as what Graham said too - when there is nothing left - pull out the "whine" card...hahahaha
Hopefully, there aren't enough stupid people that believe a vagina and a POW frequent flier card qualify you for the presidency.
The big question today is..."If you have a vagina, will you vote for someone who also has one?"
Does that fact that McPow chose a vagina as a running mate compel the disgruntled Hillary supporters to vote republican? Is that possible??
Would you vote against your own self interest due to a vagina??
Is there compelling evidence that she can bring anything but her vagina to the McPander ticket??
Are Hillary supporters Pro Life?? Do they care about the rights of their vaginas? (The Hillary supporters with vaginas that is?)
These are compelling questions. I don't have one...a vagina...so only someone with one, will be able to answer them.

Yobama´s experience with national security is his close relationship to terrorist asshats.
clang, clang clang is the sound that cowbells make.
Don't be so quick to dismiss Palin. She has a compelling story in that she worked her way up from the grass roots level to become Governor. She did it on her own and while raising an appealing family. This is the narrative that speaks to populists.
I have a vagina. I do not like your suggestion that all women have to offer in the political arena is vagina-relevance.

I'm surprised that Esmerelda would be so quick to level catty charges at a woman who got involved at the local level and worked her way up, on her own. Isn't that what you have been encouraging others to do for years ?
The fact that she has done it in another party does not negate her worth, or diminish its feminist statement.
Watch the McCain campaign unravel, this pick is hillarious the longer it sinks in. While, barack it intelligent and thoughful, McCain tries, unsuccessfully, to copy the message of Barack Obama. No way, No how, they look weird together. Oh how charming they are heading to the city of beaver. hahahaha
Posted by Tawanna_LaShond on August 29, 2008 at 02:06 PM
Hillary also has a fat ass to offer. It was handed right back to her though.
DENVER — More than 84,000 people jammed into Invesco Field at Mile High stadium to hear Barack Obama's historic acceptance speech, city officials say.
the presumptive Republican nominee said at a Dayton, Ohio, rally of about 15,000 supporters,
and most of the 15,000 were bused in...
enough said.. eat it and wept asswipes.
Kathy,
Her first plus, that she understands working families because she comes from a working family. If I am not mistaken, she is the only non-millionaire in the race.
McCain choosing Romney would have given us one more arrow to attck McCain with (McCain chooses another millionaire as a running mate). We cant do that with Palin.
Second plus, she has consistently told her own party to F'off. She is what John McCain used to be 8 years ago when Dem's loved him.
Third plus, she promised change and then acted on her promises. She has already shaken up Alaska politics and is adored by just about everybody in the state. Hell, even the dem investigator looking into the firing has stated that subpoenas aren't needed because of her openness.
Picking her was a brilliant strategic move. Barring some skeleton we dont know about, she is going to cause us some serious headaches down the road.
With respect to the VP debate, if memory serves me correcty, there is only one debate scheduled so Biden wont get more than one chance to make her look like a fool (which could backfire).
Michigan Dave is living in fantasy land if he thinks this election will be a blow out.

She DOES have one doesn´t she? Or is that just padding that she stuffs in those pantsuits?

I'm trying so hard to take any of what the republican party is doing seriously. What a sad day for McNasty supporters and well..you guys.
No disrespect to Alaskan's...but really..a mayor, a council member and now Governor in Alaska?? Gimme a break. Most of the time they would have been debating the installation of a new traffic signal or approving a position for someone to pick up bear shit on the sidewalk. Sorry, I meant footpath. A sidewalk would be a rare occurance....in Alaska.
She can shoot a gun and hates gays. She looks hot in a fur lined thermal jacket. She is anti abortion and will probably be a hit on the evangelical circuit. Did I mention she has a vagina?
Come to think of it...evangelicals don't like vaginas. Maybe she won't be a hit on the evangelical circuit.
Mc72 needs some eye candy. He is one nasty looking old dude. Pasty, drawn...a very unhealthy looking specimen. She will distract attention from that. Maybe that was the plan.
McCains picks an unconventional vp candidate who doesn't upset his base, yet appeals to women and independent voters. This is our worst nightmare.
Posted by CRTG on August 29, 2008 at 01:39 PM
It might be YOUR worse nightmare CR, but it is laughable! No more inexperience better come out of old numb McNuts mouth. PLUS this is woman who was Mayor of a town of 6000 first, then Gov for a year and half. CAN YOU PICTURE if McCain croaks, which is expected, as he has already outlived his father by 2 years, with her finger on the Red button????? God help us all.
Plus, she got a BS in JOURNALISM at the U. of Idaho. That's it for education! guess she missed the Sex education courses.
Any female voting for McCain, just because he has THIS woman on the ticket, is stupid enough to get what she deserves should they win!
I am a feminist. Two daughters, two granddaughters. I would love to see a Female President. JUST NOT ONE LIKE THIS ONE!

50,000 expected to protest RNC
If you thought protests outside 2008's Democratic National Convention were loud and proud, you ain't seen nothing yet. So say organizers preparing for the 2008 Republican National Convention, set to take place in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Organizers estimate 50,000 protesters are getting ready to demonstrate outside the RNC, in the largest anti-war protest planned so far this year.
"We have word that people are coming on busses and carpools, people are flying in from all over the country," said Katrina Plotz, an organizer for an RNC protest group. "We are expecting the police to uphold our right to demonstrate, to speak out against the war."
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Protestors_prepare_for_Republican_convention_0828.html
Its funny how partisan politics turns a blind eye when necessary. There have been multiple posts about her inexperience regarding foreign affairs--seems like we are forgetting our own candidate's lack of foreign affairs experience. Neither side can now claim the other side is inexperienced.
It also appears that because she is pro-life (which 40-50 percent of women are) she is anti woman and wants to return the women's rights movement to the middle ages. That is just a f'ing stupid argument. How in the world can you claim that a highly educated, successful woman who as run several business and who was elected to Alaska's highest office wants to send women's lib back to the middle ages. Aside from the abortion issue, which has little or nothing to do with women's lib, how else is she anti-womens rights.
Just because you disagree with someone's political beliefs does not mean that they don't care about women's rights.
Oh, and I meant to post this Rebuttal of the idiot's Old Old list of people who died during Clinton's administration. All FALSE
