I'm impressed with this chick. She's hot and very intelligent. She makes Hillary look weak.

I thought Obama's pick was bad, but McCain's is criminal. Two years as the Governor of Alaska? Served a year on the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission before she resigned. Mayor of . . . Wasilla!
Lots of other LOGICAL choices out there if the politicians would use their brains rather than their polling figures. Let the Hillary fans alone and RESPONSIBLY pick a possible Vice President.
Hell, Blanco looks like a seasoned pro next to her.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt
She just stole "hope and change" from Obama! Now what's he got?
I just wish Palin was the candidate for President and McCain was her VP candidate.
She's gonna surprise you. Those of us that pay attention to politics on the Conservative side (probably way too much) have been aware of her for some time. She'll fire up the GOP base, yes she will pull some of the women vote. Like it or not all women are not the feminist that make up the NOW gang. Alot of women will just be excited to vote for a woman VP. The topper is she is a great campaigner. She took down some of the old boy repubs in Alaska and then beat the Dem. incumbent Gov. Don't be shocked when McCain gets a huge bounce from this.

OK, drop the other shoe on the resignation. She resigned because of opposition to ethics violations by another Republican member of the Committee, who happened to be the Chair of the State Republican Party. She pursued the matter to its conclusion, resulting in the resignation of both the committee member (who was fined for the violation ) AND the Alaskan Attorney General. You check it a little further and basically she upset the good old boy network and kicked some ass.
Oh yeah, she was the Lieutenant Governor of Alaska before being elected Governor over the incumbent. So she definitely has more governmental executive experience than anyone else on either ticket.
If you don't like her fine, but expect people to check out inaccurate posts.

"During her first year in office, Palin moved away from the powerful old guard of the state Republican Party and has refused to kowtow to the powerful oil industry, instead presiding over a tax increase on oil company profits that now has the state's treasury swelling."
She's hard line pro-life and even gave birth to a kid with downs instead of aborting. She's hard line anti gay rights.
She's a tough cookie! I am thrilled at this choice for VP! And she still has more experience than OBAMA, then again who doesn't. The women knows who she is and what she can handle in life (see Ken's 2nd paragraph). That is courage under fire folks.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Besides, she's hot as well! :icon_wink:
ooooooo. "executive experience". Less than any Governor in the country. Biden has been in Washington almost as long as he has been alive. She has very little experience, including "executive".
Come on guys, admit it, yesterday ALL of you would have been laughing at the mention of someone you had not even heard of. And most, if not all GOP's would have been against her for the VP pic.
McCain is out of control.
