It is also a strike against her judgment as well. She should have turned the nomination down. Even she KNOWS she is not qualified to run this country!

Remember the electoral college though. It's wonderful that as you say, “kooky leftists, singles (I am, I don't see how that makes me a 'them'), elites, homosexuals,” are becoming more active or growing, but it doesn't matter as much if these groups are already in states that McCain has basically conceded on. If you have another million or some odd young people who are energized for Obama in California or Massachusetts (my State), you still only get so many electoral votes, and nothing else. It's not popular vote which people still seem to think it is for whatever strange reason. Barack still needs a lot of work in the rust belt and mid-West, because there, it's very much is still “US” vs. “Them” as you liked to put it, but “US” is still the majority in swing states.

~ One of “US” I guess.

Town,
That was the entire point of the nomination, to get Biden or someone close enough to Sen Obama to say something remotely condensending about that nice white woman. If and when it happens, you will habe white woman and some silly black women out protesting.
The cable news will twist the comment just like they did Wes Clark and typical white person-gate.

Being on the campaign trail is far different from posing for a family picture. BULLSHIT!

I can see why they are initially excited…they haven't heard her speak yet. As the weeks go by and the more they listen, they'll be like “WTF?!?!?”

I had a party today with some of my girlfriends and we started talking politics. Most were white suburban moms and they were happy that McCain picked a woman. Once it was explained what her politics were they all oh, hell no. Grated most of them were Obama Mamas to begin with but thought as women they should consider SP. I'm wondering how many more women out there won't pay attention to her politics and think they should go for the woman. This is going to be an interesting polling week.

Besides City Council and Mayor, Palin has been Alaska's Governor since 2006, in case you didn't know.

As usual…you are wrong again. Palin is a *REAL* Woman, and men like that fact. I was going to vote against the Dem Ticket; however, now I am voting FOR the Rep Ticket. Men like Palin a lot…simple as that.

So you believe the mayor of Greenville, AL is qualified for POTUS? And you believe quite a few former presidents were never qualified as well? Okie-dokie.

Obama and Biden have no executive experience, i.e. none – nada – zip.

By: Miranda

Miranda — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 15:57:38 +0000

So the 30 year term mayor of Greenville, AL has more executive experience than all combined and therefore is more qualified to be President of the United States??

They could but they're not going to.

The Sarah Palin pick shows that McCain campaign is on its' deathbed. Many of the VP shortlisters may be furious, but better to let Sarah Palin go down with the ship than them. This VP pick is a win/win for Palin regardless of if they win or not:

She raises her exposure with her base (the extreme conservative right);

She raises her exposure nationally;

She makes history on the Republican side;

If they win, she'd be the first female VP in US history.

No matter what happens, Sarah Palin wins. If the Pubs intervene next week, it would be to throw both of them out, not just Palin. And they're not going to do that because that's sure disaster for them.

The majority of the time, McCain is polling around 42%. The latest Gallup poll shows him back at 41% to Obama's 49%. The ONLY way McCain will win in Nov. is if people just can't pull that lever for a black guy. Hopefully the Sarah Palin pick will ENERGIZE Democratic voters to get their asses to the polls to prevent this joke of a presidential ticket from assuming office.

Could the Republican Party overturn his pick at the convention and nominate another VP?

She has more executive experience than Obama and Biden - combined.

"Because Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has relatively little experience in national affairs, the bar has been lowered this year for national candidates. This helps Mrs. Palin. As a governor, she has more executive experience than Mr. Obama."

McCain has some, though I don't yet know if he has more or less than Palin. She has a record of integrity that few - if any - elected officials can match. "She's an expert on one of this year's biggest issues - energy."

Anyway, here is a link that I just found: TIME's interview with Sarah Palin.
