It's looking less and less like the GOP will be able to sell this. McCain threw the dice and it's all coming up snake eyes.

"I May Be Broke, But I'm Not Flat Busted."

1. Putting Country First - Her membership in the Alaska Independence Party proves that she’s exactly the kind of leader America needs: the kind that will always put country first — even if that country happens to be The Republic of Alaska. Obama claims he loves America — but has he ever loved it enough to favor seceding from it? It’s called tough love, Senator. Look into it.

2. Independence - Sarah hates indicted Senator Ted Stevens, but raised money for him. She hates the “bridge to nowhere,” but supported it. She wants to shatter Hillary’s glass ceiling, but wears t-shirts touting the size of her boobs. We’re dealing with an innovative politician; one who refuses to be categorized. Obama may call himself the candidate of “change,” but Sarah Pailen’s (sp?) entire political life has been about saying one thing, and then doing another. Now that’s “change we can believe in.”

3. Family Values - This is someone who’s not afraid to preach abstinence for your daughter, even though her own unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. This is someone who’s not afraid to hop on a plane from Texas to Alaska while she’s in premature labor. This is someone who’s not afraid to hit the campaign trail with a 5-month-old special needs baby. That’s what I call dedication to family. Obama, on the other hand? A Muslim.

4. Intellect - Yes, Sarah recently admitted that she didn’t know exactly what it was the Vice President did. Yes, she wants creationism taught in public schools. Yes, she doesn’t believe global warming is manmade. But I’d like to point out the fact that she wears glasses — and that’s not something dumb people generally do. Obama? No glasses.

5. Military Affairs - As Governor, Pollen (sp?) is authorized to deploy Alaska’s National Guard in times of emergency. And while the Guard’s Adjunct General admits that she plays no role in national defense, and isn’t briefed on military exercises, the fact is — she’s been photographed holding a machine gun, while Obama has yet to wield so much as a .38 for the cameras. When it comes to keeping me safe, that’s all I need to know.

6. Foreign Affairs - While Obama likes to take Middle East tours, meet with Europe’s leaders, and brag about his running mate being the foreign policy voice of the Senate, he can’t hold a candle to Palenn’s (sp?) understanding of today’s complex, dangerous world. Yes, Sarah admitted that she hadn’t paid much attention to the war in Iraq, but she knew enough to rightly call it a “task from God.” Yes, she’s only left North America once in her life, but her experience as a local sportscaster gave her the ability to follow events as they unfold at lightning speed. And as Cindy McCain pointed out, while Barack Obama was sipping lattes in Cambridge Square, Sarah Pinkston (sp?) was staring down the barrel of Putin’s Kalashnikov — a one woman wall keeping America safe from invasion.

7. Restoring America’s Image - Who better than a former beauty queen to add some new luster to America’s battered image? Paylen (sp?) will take a proverbial can of Aqua Net to our nation’s unruly hair, and apply liberal (no pun intended) amounts of blush to Lady Liberty’s cheekbones. In a word, she’ll dazzle the world with her charm and style. Even the most anti-Western extremists will melt when they see the People and Vanity Fair spreads of Sarah warming her fur-lined extremities over burning science textbooks. And how would Obama restore our leadership in the world? The question we should be asking is: why does he only have two children, while Sarah has at least twice that number? What does Senator Obama have against America’s children?

8. Her Soul - In one 15-minute meeting, and one follow-up phone call, John McCain was able to determine that Sarah was more than his running mate — she was his “soul mate.” Not only that, but that she was more qualified to be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office than any Republican on earth. Yes, this is a testament to the power and quickness of McCain’s decision making. But it’s also a testament to the power of Sarah Payton’s (sp?) soul. As a Muslim, it’s not even clear that Obama has a soul.

So Sarah Pillston (sp?) qualified to be Vice President? To be one bad biopsy away from being the most powerful human being on earth? To lead America back to prominence and prosperity, while keeping us safe from a world of ever-changing threats?

In her own words: “Yup…yup.”
Welcome to the majors Sarah.

Maybe she will surprise me tommorow night.. lord knows she is full of surprises.

That was a baaaaaaaaaaad move by McCain. Like, really baaaaaaaaad. Not because I don't like the republicans, but really. It was just dumb.

Seriously, what was wrong with choosing a strong candidate like Romney? Choose someone who backs your strengths, not go for a cheap political play and disregard the drawbacks.

The GOP can only go for the sympathetic vote now (regarding Palin). I've already heard tonight, "if this was a man the media wouldn't be doing this". Guess what channel I was watching.

America isn't in a position to be passing out charity votes this election.

Lack of thorough background checks is not a typical American issue, we have had several cabinet ministers leaving office in Norway because of old skeletons and poor judgement ... politics these days are moving to fast and decisions are being made to hasty ...

When I first heard of Sarah Palin I thought it was a genius move by McCain. Honest. I thought that she'd be able to woo the Hilary crowd who undoubtedly felt jaded after they put so much faith and support into a female President, only to have her discarded. Not even considered for VP.

I thought that she would be able to shake the too old tag that's going to stick with McCain throughout the race. And I thought that if she were a moderate conservative, McCain would easily cover the votes for the far right, Palin could easily sway middle ground or even slightly left leaning voters.

An Alaskan background would more than likely mean having the juggle the environmental issues that is usually seen as a strong suit of the Democrats. Once I saw her interviewed though, I was really surprised at how far right leaning her political views were. She's obviously a political extremist in a lot of ways, seceding from the rest of America is a great case in point.

Wanting to teach Creationism in schools is something I find frightening to be honest. It's an issue I would really fight tooth and nail to oppose. It is such a backwards step - the nation would suffer because of it.

What once looked like a master stroke has quickly gone up in smoke. She's not only the final nail in McCain's coffin, she's the bag full of them.

It's almost like they didn't account for the 24hr news cycle.  20 years ago all this info would have taken weeks to circulate.  Now it takes only a few days for an entire life to torn apart and laid bare.

It's Hariet Meiers all over again.  They grab the first woman they can find and throw her to the wolves.  I think she's in way over her head, and I sorta feel sorry for her.

I can see the women appeal thing, but the rest?

Weren't Christian conservatives satisfied already? I mean would any of them consider voting for Obama? lol

As for the ground breaking ticket... ground breaking in what? Stupidity? Utter unsuitability? Well he's done that... Imo there must be at least ten other VP candidates out there who fit the bill much better than her.

I can see the butch "I'll vote for her because she has a vagina" feminist being more than a little intimidated by a woman as decidedly attractive as Palin. At least Hillary Clinton is a hag.

Funny how that works.  If you're Pelosi or Hildo, you're a fucking role model badass be like her woman.  But Palin?  How dare she thinks such things and be successful.

Wow, she is a real person and not part of the machine.

This could be bad for America.  Ohhh, nooooos.  She might do something she is not told to do.
