It is reassuring that Rick Santorum has a hunch Palin will make a good President. I'm sold.

"She'll learn all she needs to learn," he said of foreign policy. "You pick that stuff up."

Amazing statement after weeks of hacking at Obama over the same thing? Neo-cons are such hypocrites.....

Wonder how ecstatic Santorum and the other "ardent social conservatives" will be when the stories get out about the possibility that Palin's 4 month old son is really her grandson?

"Social Conservatives"

You mean the far righht extreme of the Republican Party.

So much for their concern about International Relations

In case people forgot, Rick Santorum was the same guy who declared in 2006 that weapons of mass destruction were indeed found in Iraq among other brilliant observations. He lost his Senate seat in 2006 in the worst loss ever for an incumbent Republican Senator. Draw your own conclusions as to how to value his opinion.

typo: should've been "worst loss ever for an incumbent Republican Senator in Pennsylvania."

I thought he was in jail..oh thats right he just ought to be

It is all about the oil. Palin got respect from me for taking on Exxon about oil leases --good it seems-- but her husband worked for Exxon's rival BP.

Until recently, he [Todd Palin] earned hourly wages as a production operator in a BP-run facility that separates oil from gas and water. Palin was making between $100,000 and $120,000 a year before he went on leave in December to make more time for his family and avoid potential conflicts of interest. London-based BP is heavily involved in the gas pipeline negotiations with his wife's administration.

Being husband of the governor and being "on leave" is an odd way to avoid a conflict if you ask me.

MCCAIN PALIN '08 "CHANGE THEY CAN LINE THEIR POCKETS WITH."

The first order of business is judging the candidates executive experiences.

Remember they are applying for a job working for us not the otherway round. Obama has no executibe leadership skills, and neither does plugs.

Obama's only attempt at executive experience was four years as founding chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge to bring change (where did I hear that one before) to inner city schools. But he was a total flop, squandering millions of dollars and valuable time of many public employees in the process.

McCain also has no executive experience bone head

Palin is just as bad as Obama, Biden is just as bad as McCain; They offer the same strngths and weaknesses. No matter who wins, one party's just as bland and identical as the other. But they'll shreik "Change, change!!!" Til the cows come home. Either way, the same policies, the same problems, only they get a little worse each day. Be it tweedledee or tweedledum, either way the same agenda will be enforced no matter what. With only the meida enforcing your perception that you had any "choice" at all. Life goes on. And we're all just along for the ride, where nobody knows or even cares to know who's operating as the conductor behind the scenes. Until you figure that out, your just a pawn in the game. And are being played by the master. Enough said.

It's about judgment. Obama chose Biden, McCain chose Palin.

Hey Jim, nor was McCain a Chicago street thug as the great Bill Clinton has pointed out. McCain was a naval officer - exective experience, he as more than enough.

Rick Santorum creeps out of the woodwork to support one of his kind. Santorum was wrong for the U.S. Senate so his recommendation of Sara Palin has to be weighed with a large measure of sanity. McCain's strategy was to pander and activate the Evangelical Christian base and this appears to be working using Palin as a Barbie Doll. As for John McCain, what has changed in this group's view of him?

Erm noone suggested VP Cheney pick up foreign policy expertise because he had been Defense Secretary. *rolls eyes* I'd forgotten how much of an idiot Santorum is.

Is having the backing of social conservatives in the GOP such a great thing in a national election? Will get the base out but little else.

good for them //////She can not run this country---- so big deal a house wife on a budget....Well most of us are so whats the big deal??????He is a sick puppy McCain and his wannnnnnna be barbie of a wife is now sticking her nose in geesh can't let the likes of another woman beat her out.This is like a soap opera,,,,Hahahahaha

This proving her "conservative social values through having a Down's Syndrome infant is using a high needs infant as a political advantage card, far worse ploy than McCain's repeated reference to being a POW. There are also some very strange circumstances surrounding his birth. In April, during a governor's conference in TX, Palin's water broke. Instead of seeking immediate help for her premature and known Down's Syndrome birth, she spent 8-10 hours on a flight back to Anchorage. In effect, she not only endangered herself and son, but subjected the passenger and crew to a potentially dangerous situation. There are a number of legitimate questions and issues surrounding Palin's past behaviors and lack of vetting. For one, how does she reflect Republican family values by the endangerment of her son's birth and campaigning with a newborn high risk and needs infant?

SARAH PALIN..GREAT CHOICE...
I'M AN EX-DEMOCRAT VOTING REPUBLICAN..
