I think it's more than that. He seems to be trying to cover all the bases (OK, well, except the race base.) But he's got pro-choice/pro-life, conservative/moderate, man/woman, young/old. This was definitely a good move on his part.

She is too right winged for Hilliary supporters, but what he might be counting on is disgruntled supporters who aren't too keen on the conservative/liberal table. Many older women are just concerned with electing a women. What ever McCain is intending, he flipped the table.

Sad day for democrats. IMO we just lost the election.


No, the Dems lost the election when Obama picked Biden instead of Hillary. He had the chance to create an unbeatable ticket in terms of demographics. He screwed up his first major decision.

Obama/Clinton could not lose. Obama/Biden? Obama shifted from somebody representing hope and change to somebody tied into the the Washington beltway.

McCain's pick of Palin cemented McCain as the one most committed to changing how things are done in Washington, not Obama. If this were a football game, it would be like McCain just intercepted a pass at his own goal line and returned it for a touchdown. He stole Obama's entire "unique selling proposition".

I thought he was going to choose Jindal, too. I was surprised by this choice, too. It's exciting, though. Maybe it's cuz I'm a girl.

Wow, is this speech geared toward heartland America and Soccer Moms or what?!

He is swimming in deep waters. She is a self-described 'hockey mom'. I'm not quite sure what he is doing. Personally, in my situation, I approve, but some don't. Such as:

When I meet with my father this morning over coffee, I told him McCain picked Pailn. He is a political follower (DEM), his response was, "Who the **** is she!?"

He's not selling out anything.

Palin has been screaming for people to come and drill the state the entire time shes been in office!

And by the way....

So has the MAJORITY of the American People!
