I love these ABC news Political radar pieces. It is like opening a bottle of Snapple and reading the stupid worthless facts on the back of the bottle cap.

Nobody at the convention knows her but they are very enthusiastic about her.
This just in....Sarah Palin's husband Todd was a card carrying member of the Alaska Independence Party from 1995 - 2002.

Palin/McCain change that will secede.

Who cares....they'll all know her name Nov. 4, when they pull the lever for McCain/Palin. I heard talk radio today and dozens of callers (female) THRILLED at the Palin nom.....and passionate to see her elected. WOMEN = 54% OF THE U.S. POPULATION......and nothing like a woman scorned. There was revolt when Hillary was treated as she was, and I see it happening now...only difference is Hillary was fighting her own party for the nom. Gov. Palin has her base support already with her! This will become a groundswell of support from women...Reps, Independents, and even some Dems who have had enough. Obama's young lib female sheep will not be swayed, but that's a small percentage of the voting population.
50% of Americans vote with their emotions.
GO McCAIN/PALIN!

Three NY headlines today with Palin in them....they are so AFRAID OF GOV. SARAH PALIN! The lib press is mud slinging and very frightened....if she can hold her own and be as strong as we are learning she is....she will be a fantastic VP!
22 years ago Palins boyfriend (now hubby) had too much to drink and got a DUI
22 years ago Barack Hussein Obama was using crack cocaine.....AND WHY DON'T THE LIBERAL MEDIA COVER FAIRLY?
AMERICANS DO NOT TAKE WHAT THEY ARE SHOVING DOWN OUR THROATS WITH B. HUSSEIN

Debra--

Polls all say women aren't going for her. Indeed she has secured the religious right but she has very little appeal to independent women who are not fanatically religious. Not to mention all of the stuff coming out about her lobbying ties and love of earmarks. After all the negative garbage about Michelle Obama, it is hilarious to have Todd Palin proven to be a secessionist, Country First? Guess not.

Hey Debra, Would that be the 50% who gave us Bush/Cheney for the past 8 years?

Old female sheep for Obama

John McCain selected Sarah Palin, a woman, to be his vice presidential running mate.

Obama should have picked Hillary Clinton to be his vice presidential running mate, but Obama doesn't feel that a woman is deserving to be vice president of the United States.

If you are a woman with too much experience like Hillary that is a problem. If you are a woman without excess experience like Palin, that is a problem.

But inexperienced male Obama? No problem - he’s black - and if you don’t vote for him you are a racist - even if you yourself are black.

However, Obama doesn't think that a woman is deserving to be vice-president of the United States.

Instead, Obama rather have a good old boy, Lobbyist Buddy Joe Biden, as vice president.

I love the way all the conservatives shout little slogans without any basis in fact to cheer themselves up. No matter that Obama broke 50% in two tracking polls today and has a 6-9% lead depending on the poll while the press are spending all their time focussing on aspects of the Palin pick. This was a disastrous decision you guys need to face it.

From Hillary 44

"Sarah Palin, an elected Governor with executive experience is running against Washington insider, repeat presidential candidate, and loser Joe Biden (Biden received 9,500 this year). Palin has challenged a corrupt Republican establishment in Alaska and won. Obama bought into the Chicago political machine instead of challenging it.

Meanwhile many of the Disco Democrats compare Sarah Palin’s selection as a vice presidential candidate to the generation earlier selection of Geraldine A. Ferraro. The suggestion is that only desperation drove both selections. Women only get selected out of desperation - as a “hail Mary” desperation play."

Well, the awaited media feeding frenzy is pretty much as expected.

Perhaps the surge at Sarah Palin is a bit more rabid in an effort to get the highest ratings, but the "lynch mob" mentality is quite evident.

Regardless of what media hype has not yet created about Sarah Palin, we do KNOW this much:

1. Sarah Palin has energized a significant number of women voters who were going to sit this one out, and they won't be voting for anyone named Obama.

2. Sarah Palin has got more attention and scrutiny from the Democrat party in a few days than Barack Obama got in 18 months.

3. Glenn Beck was the only talk show host that got it right on the Sarah Palin choice and did an interview.

4. Regarding economic policy, Sarah Palin supports "a free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process."

5. Sarah Palin is pro-contraception, pro-woman, and pro-life.

6. Sarah Palin respects the sanctity of marriage and defines such as a union between a man and a woman.

7. Sarah Palin supports the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

And the list goes on...

This candidate is thoroughly vetted on a website called "On the Issues".

No, I won't provide a link as it would be edited from this site, but it the site is an org site.

And, as always,

Anybody But Obama...

Well, John,

The bounce that usually follows a party's convention is somewhere in double digits.

But, that didn't happen for Obama who is supposedly contrasting one of the most unpopular Presidents in U.S. history.

Kind of makes the 6 to 9% pale in comparison to what it could have been.

For my part, I will be listening to Palin's speech instead of media hacks.

Hillary Clinton 18 million votes
Joe Biden 0 votes

Talk about buyer's remorse!

Wow. Mark Shields has the audacity to speak for Palin's daughter.

Two words for any pro-choice folks who are considering voting for McCain/Palin:
SUPREME COURT!
If that issue is important to you, and you vote for the Republican ticket, you can kiss your (or your sister's or daughter's) rights good-bye.
Teens (even Republican teens!) will be teens, so teach them how to protect themselves, and reduce the need for abortions.

the dens are at their smarmiest tonight. Sarah Palin has them quaking in their birkinstocks. A woman who has it all-family and career-and is truly liberated, and they are slinging mud so fast they're getting more on them than on her.

We can see the fear in your eyes. All you're left with is sound and fury.

What if Hillary had won the nomination and made a last minute surprise selection of the relatively unknown Obama as VP? Would the media be a furious feeding frenzy of vetting Obama Wright and Rezko and Ayers and infanticide in rapid succession: Clearly, our media would conclude that this dangerously untested ingenue is too unknown a quantity to be a heartbeat away, with Tom Eagleton comparisons gleefully invoked starting, oh, 72 hours in.
