A Whiter Shade of Palin

As a Senator Clinton supporter I'm so amazed to have become so popular that Senator McCain would name a woman as his running mate to attract my vote. Particularly as Senator Obama's team (Ms. Brazile especially) made it perfectly clear to me that my vote was no longer needed in the Democratic party. Yet time and time again Senator McCain has reached out to me. I'm all verklempt.

McCain is in over his head
for the demands of the job.
He is just going through the
motions of running for POTUS.

When he picked Palin, it wasn't
done in a senior moment. He wants
out. She guarantees his defeat.

McCain may be a lot older, but
her views on social and women's
issues are far more antiquated
than his.

Yeah Mack, more action getting 5,000 young boys killed for NO reason. Obama's speech was ten times more specific than anything McClone has ever said. You should listen, or are you afraid it might open your mind. Enjoy clinging to your hope against hope that McCain can fool enough idiots just like idiot George did (Oh, I forgot, George didn't actually win either election, but you get the point). You only have two more months to do it, then you're gone.

Sarah Palin at least has experience running a government office. None of the other candidates in this race has that kind of experience. Way to go.

McCain/Palin 2008

OH my gosh! Not kidding now, you republicans have got to stop! I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt lololo
I do feel a bit sorry for you though, that your trying sooo hard to save the dignity of the republican party by pretending to support Palin, the 2nd runner up beaty queen Mcain picked as his and your (hahaha) VP! (hehehehe) Keep on trucking....doing your part to support "your team", at least I have to give you a small amount of respect for trying to "save face". (dum, da dum, da dum) So lets sum it up. McCain's answer to everthing is " i was a pow for five years" (so was my uncle and this doesn't qualify him to run the country)The VP pick Palen was 2nd place in a beauty contest. Mayor to a city so small it doesn't count as anything major, and now govenor. OHHH okay, and yeah don't forget Palin is being investigated by the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT!!!!! LMAO You guys are just tooo funny! Obama, OBAMA, OBAMA

This is a great pick by McCain! My wife and I are going to vote Republican for the first time EVER! This is due to The DNC & Obama camp Bad Treatment of Hillary & Bill. The Clintons have made this party Great and I will not support the People or Party officials that Spit in the FACE of the GOOD Democrats. McCain-Palin here we come!

Also while at work today, I just had a 45 year old professional women with an Ivy League PhD who is a LIFELONG democrat say to me, "I kind of like her."

HAH PROOF THAT OBAMA & THE DNC PISSED OFF ALOT OF DEMOCRATS!
IM SURE THERE ARE MORE OUT THERE TOO!!!!!!
GO MCCAIN-PALIN!!!!!!!!!
I was going to vote for Obama until he excluded Hillary! Hahahahahahahahahahahah
Take that Howard Dean & all you idiots at the DNC!

"did you watch the video and Obama's speech"

We're done with speeches, we need action, and that's exactly what McCain/Palin is going to bring us.

Dear aw,

Your post "Any woman who has just given birth to a special needs baby would have put that baby's interest above her own ambitions..." just SCREAMS of sexism!

She has a special needs child, and I am certain she has the means, and the support system around her to make certain that all her children are well cared for. Do you really think her baby is not getting exceptional care simply because she is not the one providing it 24-7? You yourself are a grandmother of such a child. With your rational, why isn't your daughter staying home and caring for her kid?

If she was a male VP candidate with a special needs child, would you have even thought it an issue?

Let's remember, Senator Biden chose to take his position as Senator shortly after the tragic loss of his wife and daughter. He had two young sons, now motherless. He reached out and made sure his boys were cared for, and NO ONE made a big stink about it as being a negative that he left his boys every day to go to work!

Well, she's already abused her power since she's been gov, so I guess she'll fit right in with the repub administration. LOL!!

well.. if that is the price we as a nation need to pay to actually recognize women as having the same right in this country.. i'll take that fight..
yes, she went back to work days after giving birth because this country doesn't recognize what mothers do for the country! that has got to change!!
we must recognize women as they are - physically and with everything that god has given them on this earth.
we as a society must change the man oriented view of life. there is the man and then there is the woman. very differnt needs, very different biologies..
yet, this society forces women to behave like men..
where is the AA minority when you need them to fight for the right thing and not for their 'only' thing..

this woman must change the conversation in this country - we need a woman up there, i don't know what the price is that we have to pay for it. but we must have a woman up there as soon as possible.

This woman wants to OUTLAW abortion.

NO how, NO way, NO McCain !!!

Aw; that is the first thing that came to my mind too! Any baby. Special needs or not. I couldn't, but men do it all the time, I guess this is where Daddy needs to step up.

jvsp
these people are trying what they did to hillary: to play the sex card..

mother of 5 who is the governor of a state - they claim that she has no experience while their pretty boy does.. huh?
babama spent no time in the senate before he hit the road to run not for VP but for the presindent of this great nation.
now now.. why would a woman Governor be less qualified than a junior senator who spent no time actually doin anything in the senate.. but giving speaches?? beats me..
i think that women of this country will see through this.. i actuall y hope that they do now..

btw, i just love palin's speach:
very positive, no attacks, looking to the future and very directly telling women that those 18 millions votes do COUNT now!
it was an extraordinary debut and.. did mention she looks good on TV :)

To the person that noted there is something troubling about Pallin being a mother AND ambitious in serving her country, you make a good case as to why one ought to worry about how myopic and inconsistent some Dems have become. Many have tossed out core principles for our party's candidate. It is troubling. Our party is truly in trouble.

Nicholas,

Did you say say:
"PALIN=EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE.......

McCAIN/PALIN '08......

TICKET ROCKS.........
"
Obviously you're out of touch like your candidate McCain.Wait till November.

BO did the right thing in
ditching Ms. Clinton.

The Clintons are a high
nuisance value people.

sorry but you are saying is not true.. unforunately.. all we know about obama is that he talks and talks..
when it comes to deeds, he has been a major disappointment after major disappointment..
he dissed the voters in MI and FL for one purpose only: to stop them from voting for THEIR candidates (in the end, the party people and not THE 'people' of FL and MI made the decision!), he dissed hillary but doing everything in his power to stop the delegates from voting fairly at the convention!
he dissed 18 million voters by not selecting hillary as his running mate.
obama has been a major fake.. sorry, but i don't trust him anymore.

i don't like mccain but i like what he actually did picking a woman as his running mate.
i think that is very risky for him but he did it because he sees millions of people who have been dissed by obama..

Sarah Palin is the equivalent VP nominee to the ill-fated Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court. Clearly unqualified, but damn the torpedoes. That's military McCain.

Average Joe, the bottom line is this: Will the country be better off with Obama, who has a long history of fighting with success for average people and who WILL make a clean break from Bush's failures, or with McCain, who has said that he agrees with most of what Bush has done and doesn't intend to change much (and who nearly everyone recognizes is out of touch with working families). The answer is obvious: Obama is the far superior candidate. I think if Hillary supporters go for McCain out of spite (which I think very few will do), they will regret it.
