This election is really exposing insanity, from which side I won't mention. In the meantime which one, Barack Obama or Sarah Palin, is more qualified to be President? Read: http://christianprophecy.blogspot.com/

If you think all your bombastic drivel will scare John McCain away from his pick, your not worth the educational facility you work for! Your comments are written out of fear more than fact. Palins political instincts and abilities will catapult the GOP to a win in November. She earned her political savvy the hard way by knowing that if you want to soar like an eagle, you have to expect hunters! And you're one of the worst kind of hunters. You pick off the ducks from your comfortable duck blind and then want all of us to fawn at how skilled you are.

Yeah i think Mcain made a wrong choice this is gonna hurt him i belive and its funny when i was watching all the news channels when they asked republicans if she was quailfied or had enough experince they totaly question.

As an independent who cast his first three votes for a Republican candidate. Reagan-Reagan-Bush and as a former Marine, I would've voted for McCain if he had picked Mit Romney and added some economic gravitas to the ticket. The selection of Alaska Gov. and God squad member Sarah Palin is a joke and in one fell swoop a gesture to mollify the oil industry and the evangelicals. I wasn't too happy about the selection of Biden but Palin really help seal the deal in my mind.
The real problem here? Probably globe trotting hands-off beer executive Cindy McCain who managed to make it to the embattled country of Georgia and chair the group of McCain insiders that selected the soon-to-be-gone Hockey Mom. Why in the world was Cindy McCain sent to Georgia and what exactly did she do when in country other than take a few pictures in the airport? (And, who paid for this?)
Actually, I understand the why.

Alaska has exactly as many electoral votes as Delaware but it has to be one of the whitest states in America and moreover, it is the recipient of an extraordinarily large amount of corporate and governmental largesse-hardly a reflection of at-large America. When was the last time you received a check from your state's oil revenue? Does she have a passport and how much international travel has she undertaken in the past couple of years and no Canada does not count. How will the market perceive her as being the proverbial heartbeat away?

Sarah was chosen much like Spiro Agnew was chosen back in 1968, to placate a certain part of the party. Both came as a surprise.

I don't believe that the McCain campaign knew about the pregnancy or the situation with the state trooper and I doubt if Palin will make it until the election and may be gone before the end of the week. Her selection really was a result of another one of McCain's famous temper tantrums when told that his first two choices, Leiberman and Ridge would result in a walk-out at the convention.

The Obama campaign has so many paid or brainwashed bloggers it's hard to detect an honest comments vs. a scripted one. Suffice to say, I too thought Romney was the go-to person...however, I think Palin...after her nominating speech and after her debate will prove to be a remarkable choice...and a choice that will, in time, win over an important missing link in the McCain base...women. Not even Romney could have done that.

cohan, you are garbage
you make mustafa mond seem like jesus christ

Christian Right Unwed Mother thats a No NO cant even sing in the Choir, Parents cant Become Deacon, Or Elders ,@ Timothy, Did Mc cain Veted this Lady, No leadership Quality here,

John McCains pick for vice president just shows that he is out of touch just like Shawn Hannity who spends his time telling us how good the economy is after eight years of Bush.

mccain,palin,obama,should all go.where i'm not allowed to say!

I'm sure a lot of Democrats would like to see her leave since she has better credentials than Obama or Biden

I think Sarah Palin was a wonderful choice for McCain to have selected. She will put his campayne over the top and into the winners circle the same that she did when running for governor of Alaska.

Palin is the best choice -EVER-!!!!

The Democrap hypocrite supposed "gender voters" don't matter, real Americans will make the right choice.

No experience? She has far more experience than the clown Obama, and in an executive capacity. Obama has 143 days as a US Senator, whereas Pali took office as Governor on December 4, 2006. Thats over 600 days in an executive capacity, not in a senatorial capacity where you are part of a team of people voting on something.

I'll take the more experienced 2nd in command over the less experienced 1st in command (obama)

It's pretty difficult to argue that Obama, as a presidential candidate, has more executive experience that Palin. Whether you measure the two by "experience" or "accomplishments" Palin has far more business being a heartbeat away than Obama does sitting in the big chair. No contest.

As far as the evangelical vote is concerned, I don't know or particularly care. She has captured the imagination of a huge swath of middle America which is far more important that a few fringe ideologues on the ultra-right. A pregnant 17 year-old who has the support of her family and who is marrying her sweatheart and keeping her baby is a good story no matter who you are.

As of whether McCain knew about the "corruption" investigation... of course he did. It has hardly been a secret. Palin has aggressively gone after the corrupt big-boy network in Alaska. It isn't surprising there's
some pushback. I applaud McCain for standing behind her. And you can be sure McCain's staf knew EVERYTHING about Palin weeks ago.

As to the science issue... Many, many scientists are skeptical about global warming. She does advocate teaching creationism in the schools, alongside evolutionism. Frankly, I think evolutionism can handle the scrutiny. I was taught creationism as a child. Along with evolution. I was also taught the scientific method. It was pretty easy to judge where the truth lies. And knowing the creationist view only helped inform my judgement. Why would you be afraid of the teaching contrasting theories? My belief in evolution is all the stronger for having studies both viewpoints.

To answer your question... NO, he should not let her go. She's a breath of fresh air.

Please send her back to Alaska what was he thinking oh is wasn't. He did it he thought for the women vote. Women are not going to vote for her just because she is a women. she is not even close to being ready to lead this country. She is no Hillary or Rice or many other women who would have more qualification. I am a 65 year old life republican and I am going to vote demeracate for the first time in my life Obama gets my vote and I know many Republican women who are going to vote for Obama this time. The media is missing this there really are alot of republican women voting for Obama.

Your assessment of Gov. Palin is the most inane drivel I've seen in years! She's way more intelligent than Obama and has actually done something in her political career. What her family does is irrelevant, particularly when you see where Obama came from. She's fast on her feet, unwavering in her principles, and ready to take on anyone who tries to stand in her way, in a decent, caring, responsible way! No wonder John Kerry's upset with her nomination...she's scaring the life out of the Democrats!

alaska has how many people?Maybe if she spends some more time away from her family, her youngest daughter will get pregnat.Maybe the stork will bring her another child.Maybe the US will really become a real country.

Alaska is one of the whitest states in the US if Asians and Alaska Natives are considered 'white'; Census figures indicate it's 70% white, which is below the national average of 80%. Only South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, DC and Hawaii have lower percentages of white people.

This election is turning into a huge joke. From making ads featuring Paris and Britney to this whole John Edwards cheating scandal, to Sarah's teen daughter pregnancy, this country is seriously screwed whoever gets in office this time.

Will if she is a creationist, then mabye it is true that Human's did walk along side the Dinosaur's because McCain sure is one!!!!!!!!!!!! What a winning ticket the Repulican's have "Old Balls" and "No Balls"

Here's my problem. I thought Sarah was okay, not great, but okay until I heard the story about her getting on the plane while in labor with her special needs child. That's incredibly reckless. What is nothing short of child abuse is exposing her poor, little, pregnant daughter to world scrutiny, just so Sarah can have her time in the spotlight. This woman is cold-blooded. The only way she spells family values is A-M-B-I-T-I-O-N. Move over Lady Macbeth.
