Of what I now know of Palin (thanks to Wikipedia), I like what I've read. Reminds me slightly of Governor 'Arnold'. Someone who can rattle the cage a bit and doesn't mind standing by her princibles no matter who she ticks off.

An American Margaret Thatcher...but very attractive and not bitter like the New Direction Democrats. A REAL lady...

Sarah Palin is a political pun. She brings nothing interesting to the republican party. In fact, she has just made the case for the democrat that McCain is not about change.

Now, some of you might say, what are you talking about? He picked a woman. But no, Sarah Palin was not picked because she's a strong conservative. She was picked in hopes to offset the vote for women and strike an interest with the evangelical sect.

Let's face the real facts here. People, who don't like or disagree with Obama, do so because of his skin color. But do any of you understand that when you support McCain, that you're sinking deeper and deeper into failed policies and debt?

Why are conservatives and republicans scared of Obama, when they know that he's right. All of the issues that he raise are on point. But since he's part of different politicial party, people act as if they can't think outside the box and welcome change, so that the future of our country will be able to stand the test of times. You can't stand the test of times with old ways. If that was the case, then nothing in the United States is worth growing. Now, let's look at the politics.

Obama/Biden vs McCain/Palin, who do you honestly think have more of an interest in "IMPROVING" the lives of americans and the fabric of our democracy? Because as Obama stated, "this isn't a red america or a blue america. This is the United States of America."

And I would like to add that this is not a White America or a Black America. This is the land for all who wish to work hard and actually make something of the

Palin...who? LOL

Politics! What a chess game.

I listened to the Palin press conference today via radio and later watched the video. I had a very different impression of Palin from hearing her audio. I found her to be articulate, high-spirited, and quite the bit of sunshine in the republican party.

As I listened, I chatted with a friend who just returned from the DNC, I told her had she heard the news. Her reaction was-Damn! smart move. I was not totally impressed with what was said...something about her tone that concerned me. It was more like Hillary Clinton's speech--to me, she did it because she had to do it for the party. Not totally sincere. But, that is audio-first impression.

It was a smart move and quite the obvious. As I come to learn more about the woman, I am unsure of her. Upon my return home, I had videotaped the breaking news conference and watched Palin.

Hmm...being a woman, I wanted to like her. I wanted to know that this woman was in it for the purpose of changing America for the better...I'm not sold on this new tactic of throwing in a woman. Palin gave respect to Clinton and Ferraro-that was nice. Palin, however, does not encourage me, she concerns me.

It would have concerned me if Clinton became Obama's VP choice. Why? Because I doubt that they could have been a well balanced group who could work side by side to lead our country. Meaning-where one has its weakness, the other has it as strength. I want the leadership to be willing to have some opposing views but overall, put the people first before their own pride or

'People, who don't like or disagree with Obama, do so because of his skin color.'

'I would like to add that this is not a White America or a Black America.'

Which is it Contradicted?
And no, I couldn't possibly care less what color Barack's skin is. I didn't witness segration, I grew up in a time where everyone's treated equally. I don't like Obama because he's weak, supports killing fully developed babies, supports homosexuality, doesn't come across as patriotic, has nothing in common with me, my lifestyle or values, and he wants to grant criminals special privileges like driver licenses. He's supposed to be a leader, someone better than me, not worse. Someone I could look up to, not down on.

Spin Spin Spin

What a racist Democrat you are....ha ha ha

The more I read and learn out about Sarah Palin, the more I admire her. She's a mother of FIVE, (her baby has down syndrome, she knew this before giving birth) and does a fantastic job as the Governor of Alaska. She has a huge approval rating, and married her High School sweetheart. She's intelligent and beautiful. wow. What a woman.

why are all you liberals hating on a woman when it was Hillary you loved the idea ..it just goes to show what a joke the democrats really are..all of the spin is been about her lack of experience ..yet she has more executive experience than the lord Obama ..and to make it better after all the hoopla and the speech of the century Obama is only 8 points ahead in the polls after his convention with a 3 point margin for error ..pathetic....and 4dollars 15cents your wrong most aren't voting against Obama because he black its because hes a bleeding heart liberal..nobody like liberals except other liberals..but ill tell you this if Obama dose lose like he will every liberal will be saying its because he is black ..they never admit they were wrong they just blame blame blame whine and blame

having a son in Iraq does not make a woman Joe Biden. i'm not impressed with mcCain's selection. let's see if she stays on the republican ticket.

Having a son in Iraq doesn't make her Joe Biden. What does that mean? Who claimed she was anything like a Joe Biden? She is way above his league. She's more in line with McCain than Biden is with Obama. You're right, Marv, she's no Joe Biden, thank the good Lord.
