Hey, if we have any women on here. I would like to hear a comment from a women and her position on a women VP, would other women vote for McCain just because he choose a women VP? No offense, but I am curious if they would.

WONT WORK.

There is absolutely NO comparison between his choice and the great Hillary with many years in politics, and almost 20 m votes.

Nice try.

One prob, hillary wasnt voted in or picked by obama.. mistake in my opinion so hillary is a moot point.

Obama's ship is sinking fast.

Because what i watched on TV last night was the mile high stadium - PACKED - to the brim.

I question this choice by McCain's campaign people. They must be all men
Because to win women's votes you don't choose a 2 time beauty queen.

Knowing women like I do, and most of them are far from being beauty queens; there will be a huge backlash from women resentful of a pretty
cute, woman chosen over a more REAL candidate with experience.

My GF a beauty in her own right just told me McCain just lost her vote.

Never try to predict the mind of a woman or women. If McCain didn't recognize this fact, he deserves what he gets. Oh yeah, McCain dumped
his sick first wife for a pretty, rich débutante. Why am I not surprised!

When you cant answer a question . deflect deflect deflect..

Are you saying DS is not linked to inbreeding?

Do you have a credible source she has kids that play hockey? I mean she is running as a "hockey mom"

From what I was reading, the whole thing stems from some political appointee who claims that she fired him when he refused to fire a state trooper who happened to be her brother in law. Apparently (according to what I read) this guy abused her sister and tried to physically attack her father as well.

Could be true, who knows. I really could care less.

Doesn't Downs syndrome usually come from inbreeding?

She must have a close nit family!

I want this guy off this thread.. dbate, you may be repub and against everything i am for, but we can both agree this poster is nothing but a troll and should be dealt with.

I completely agree.

As for her being investigated for abuse of office, then let the investigation proceed. I imagine there are plenty of skeletons in all of their closets. I worked with politicians long enough to know that's usually the case.

As in independent voter, I'm just watching all of this unfold and trying to decide which way to vote. Between last night's speech and today's announcement, the election has turned from blah to exciting. I'm certainly not going to vote for McCain just because he chose a woman as his running mate. I'm still inclined to do the Ron Paul write-in option.

I should hope not. That would be such a level of hypocrisy. Vote based on beliefs and policies, not on sex. I voted for hillary in the primary for her politics not for her sex. And i'll vote for Obama because of Joe Biden, not cause obama is black.

Absolutely NOT.

Hillary had to prove herself. Hillary campaigned and had millions of followers-
Nobody knows this woman, and when we get to know her, she will still LACK experience and she will be found to be a rabid Bushie.

Thanks but no thanks!!!!!

I would have to agree....that 85,000+ people in attendance was one of the more impressive scenes I have ever witnessed for a political ralley.

They definitely ended things on a high note.

True. Obama might be worried, and had the spotlight stolen, but he hasn't lost any steam yet. He is going to try to keep the momentum going.

I have to admit I cringed, I honestly cringed when she said that

Still, the proof that she was a good pick can easily be seen by the rabid response of the Obama worshipers. They have gone nutz on this thread.

That's a good sign for McCain.

dont get me wrong, im not saying anything bad about her. but, i just feel that the reason she was picked is prety transparent. it was a political novelty kind of thing. she sounds like a good canidate. i just think its the right person, wrong time.

she should have declined, and taken her shot at the top spot latter down the road. in fact, i would not be surprised if she took the spot just to get her name out there.

but, like i said before, most of the country does not know her. mccain will have to sell her to the public. time he could be spending outlining his plan.

im not sure why, but it just feels like mccain is playing catch-up to obama, while obama is off and running.

These debates will simply be fascinating to watch. Finally polar opposite candidates.

No, the fact that the Dems are bringing this up is a sign of their desperation. I know about the investigation, and I know how Palin upset the entire Republican establishment in Alaska by even running for Governor. She defeated an incumbent Republican, and she set out to fight the corrupt Republicans in the state.

If the best the Dems can do right now is talk about her brother-in-laws' divorce case it's a sign that there isn't anything else. Nobody is going to care about this. In fact, even if the allegations were true, which they don't appear to be, it's not going to hurt her. Women might actually like her more.

I'll repeat what I posted on the other thread.

Talk about a bold move. If this woman is as good as her resume indicates, it is curtains for Obama. She smacked down the GOP establishment in Alaska with a shoe string budget, taking the Gov.. Obviously she isn't some push over. A total maverick, which fits in with McCain's whole strategy.

She is hot, but I wouldn't want to mess with her oil working husband who is part Eskimo and competes in the Iron Dog Snowmobile race. Certainly she will be not only a big draw for women but blue collar men as well.

Pretty classy of MCCain to not leak this yesterday. This would have sucked the air out of mile high. But he let Obama have his night...

Im honestly impressed with that.

This is what people fail to realize.

Other than each having a female anatomy, she and Hillary have virtually NOTHING in common. I mean zilch, zero. Hillary supporters will not vote for George Bush in a dress, they just wont.

Abortion rights, gay rights, gun control, all crucial topics that they would not see eye to eye on.

Um, I would care about a gov who fires someone cause he broke up with ehr sister.

Outright abuse of power. Thats called ILLEGAL. A very big deal. Why shouldnt the dems bring this up, if the roles were reversed, the same would happen.
