McCain/Palin `08

Anyway, McCain picked a women. I guess his big plan is to get the Hillary support, however I don't see that happening.

However, I guess it will show if women voted for Hillary because she is a women or that they actually believed Hillary message like the pro choice. Saying that a poll did show 1/3 of Hillary supporter consider to vote for McCain.

I guess its a big gamble, espically since Palin has little experience and this could undermine McCain argument that experience is important. Atleast it gives McCain the image of a maverick back, which the Dems were attacking.

All in all, a good choice for McCain. I'm pretty sure McCain would lose if he picked Romney or Huckabee.

I guess Obama needs Hillary too attack Palin or something along these lines. I think Hillary would, because you don't want to lose you're supporters to Palin, espically since she is likely to be president in the future.

P.S. Palin is actually a good speaker, which is a change from McCain and Bush, which are very poor speakers.

She has more experience catching fish than dealing with foreign policy or national affairs.

Granted, this doesn't mean she won't do a good job, but you do have to question it.

She brings a strong anti-abortion stance to the ticket and opposes gay marriage — constitutionally banned in Alaska before her time — but exercised a veto that essentially granted benefits to gay state employees and their partners.

Only to the state workers and their partners? Not to every gay couple in Alaska? Yeah, that's nice.

Democrats seized on the gaping experience gap and said McCain now has no business questioning the seasoning of their nominee. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said McCain was taking a "roll of the dice" and declared that Palin's "lack of experience makes the thought of her assuming the presidency troubling."

Still, she could be good. But, once again, you must question it.

Typically seen walking the Capitol halls in black or red power suits while reading text messages on Blackberry screens in each hand, Palin made a recent appearance in fashion magazine Vogue.

"At first they had me in a bunch of furs," she said of the photo shoot. "Yeah, I have furs on my wall, but I don't wear furs. I had to show them my bunny boots and my North Face clothing."

Nice, we have a woman that likes to be in fashion magazines. I figured someone so involved in politics wouldn't want to be in fashion magazines. I mean if I was her I'd be more concerned with my job rather than posing for Vogue in my bunny boots and North Face clothing. I wonder if Playboy can talk her into posing if she gets into office?

Palin's clean-hands reputation has come into question with an investigation recently launched by a legislative panel into whether she dismissed Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire her former brother-in-law as a state trooper. Trooper Mike Wooten went through a messy divorce from Palin's sister.

The governor denied orchestrating the dozens of telephone calls made by her husband and members of her administration to Wooten's bosses. She says she welcomes the investigation: "Hold me accountable."

Everyone loves a scandal, it'd be something if it's true.
