Obama wouldn't last a minute in Alaska.

Obama doesn't have to criticize her directly. It's probably better if he doesn't. She was never vetted by McCain, and stuff is starting to percolate out of Alaska now about her.

Just sit back and let the press do it's job. McCain has already thrown away his experience argument. It's looking like he's irrevocably blown the judgement one as well.

Sarah WHO??? Howard Gallas, Reno, NV.

Obama is not quite comfortable yet going out on the attack against McCain’s choice.
Today he sent out one of his surrogates, Ohio Rep. Sherrod Brown, to warm up his Dublin, Ohio, rally with some not-so-veiled criticisms of Palin.

Obama is like a kid...I didn't do it they did!! Get a backbone dude...

Obama said."I feel confident about my choice,"

Yeah, you said that about Rev. Wright..

Last time I check Obama is running against McCain. And since both major newspaper in Alaska have unanimously called her not qualified by a landslide. Obama is not going to take the bait because he doesn't have to. Going after Palin is a trap. She's a gimmick and will be easy to marginalize and essential take away to of McCain's biggest charges against Obama.

I don't think McCain could have made a better choice. She is all that! Finally, a woman with integrity!

Hey MM'
major newspaper in Alaska have unanimously called her not qualified by a landslide..Like msnbc

I take war hero Rev. Wright over racist John Hagee. Rev Wright got in trouble for over critiquing the U.S using 70s era paranoia. Hagee got in trouble for being anti-Catholic, anti-Islamic, anti-Jew, anti-Homosexual, and anti-black. All of which was caught on tape. I guess McCain has the judgment to be proud of Hagee who I think is the closest thing to a terrorist leader in the U.S. I saddens me that any Christian would follow a man who preaches hate like Hagee.

Obama has one person he needs to focus on. That's John McCain. Obama is confident in his VP pick. I'm not sure how McCain is feeling right now, but it doesn't matter at this point.

Why would Obama want to say anything about McCain's VP at this point?

I can just see Obama and his entourage getting within 100 feet of a bear or moose. They would have to rush back to their hotel to change clothes. Moose and bear are occasionally seen in down- town or near downtown Anchorage. They are usually more afraid of you but one never really know what they may do if they have their young with them. Moose would come around and eat my left-over veggies and flowers after the ground was covered with snow.
Frankly, I think that Obama is worried with a VP candidate with more experience in government and administration then he has. I did community organizer work as a high school student. No big deal, it was so easy.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 MY CHOICE

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 MY CHOICE

Obama is a pud! He knows that Palin is 100% more better than Biden....Obama is lukewarm because he knows he's going to lose the election in November!

McCain/Palin 08!

Let's face it, with about 65 days left till election day, it's kind of stupid and desparate for McSame to pick someone who is unknown because now he has to spend time to introduce her on the national stage. He just gave a big gift to the Obama camp. She's not even worth attacking, the media and the pundits are doing their thing and raising doubt about her readiness to step into the president's role and some are already saying McCain showed poor judgement in choosing her, given his age and health concerns. He had more credible candidates to choose from but chose her thinking she will pull in some women voters. That's not putting country first, he's just trying to win this election. Sarah is not qualified to step in as president should something happen to Mccain, period.

If the incumbent that Palin ousted in the gubernatorial election was a long-standing member of the good-old-boy political machine in Alaska, he probably had all of the newspapers in his pocket for a good many years.

It's very likely these newspapers are biased against her because of their former support of the candidate she defeated.

If her approval rating is somewhere near 80% amongst her constituents, that should be all that matters.

Okay Joe

I'll bite. Let's compare. 1st research the political environment of Alaska and Illinois and you'll find Illinois is much tougher. Then look at what she has actually done and qualifications; Palin has none on foreign policy. Obama didn't just pop out of nowhere was just as well known in rural Illinois as Urban Illinois while in his term as Illinois State Senate. Example comparison Palin PTA, Obama led Project Vote! to register 600,000 new voters. Palin majored a town that rivals towns in mainlain U.S. Obama was doing State Lawmaking which is someways more direct then U.S. legislature when it comes to Domestic Policies and such. Palin gov of Alaska is an executive position but 1.5 years over a population fewer then some small counties. Obama passes benchmark legislation early in his first term a feat few new Senators. Senators work more closely with Foreign Policy and actually boost his Foreign policy credentials. Let's not to mention a champaign historic not because Obama is African-America, but because of it's organization, and fund raising abillity.

Obama and his associations of Wright, Ayers, Rezko and his own America hating racist wife will cost him the election!
It doesn't matter who McCain picked, people will not be able to vote for an anti-American racist! His drug use has left him unbalanced!

Let's be clear. Mayors have more administrative qualities then Palin.
Lets list a few:
Michael B. Coleman
Carleton S. Finkbeiner
Richard Michael Daley
Antonio Villaraigosa
Michael Bloomberg
John Marks
John Peyton
Manny Diaz

I guess there are a lot of people who worry about their lives. Why should we put the decision on the hands of a senile , arrogant , old man who doesn't care diddley squat what the rest of us think. He made his choice, now in November we get a chance to make ours. She is so far to the right that she is almost falling off the edge.
