Hey I am ALL FOR female leaders in ANY seat we can get them in, but voting for McCain just to get a woman in the VP seat is not worth it at all.

I whole heartily agree. I just don't see her to be that leader.

I think it is freaking hilarious when politicians get tripped up like this. There oughta be hidden mikes everywhere to capture more of these thoughts they have. Maybe then they would understand why we don't want Big Brother listening in on our conversations.

WOW! A political analyst, a former Reagan speechwriter and newspaper columnist, and a political consultant all together on the "All Obama Network" say they don't like McCain's VP choice! Now this is earth shattering, to say the least!

to me this sounds staged! is there a better way to voice a strong "opinion" to sway public approval over a major news feed, than to have a "goof-up" on live TV that airs for over a minute? how convenient!

liberals or conservatives, I look at myself as neutral. I liked Obama's Biden pick, however i would have loved for him to have picked Jim Webb, mainly because of his military experience. If i were to vote for McCain (which I'm not) I would have liked him to have picked a better vice president. Let's look at the facts here, John McCain has one foot in the grave, he's old and there's a chance of him dying in office. Do you really want this lady as president? Someone who let's really admit it, is just a ploy to get the conservative vote (which admit it, McCain needs) and to get the woman vote discontent with Hillary's dismissal. He should have picked Lieberman in my honest opinion, would have gotten the conservative democrats behind him.

Obama is neither left or right, but a radical. Farther left than any current Democratic Senator in Congress.

Radical = dangerous for the Republic. Big government and huge taxes - something the Constitution was meant to protect against (large government).

Obama will reverse what the Constitution stands for.

In case everyone forgot already, there was a whole bunch of people in the running for the VP slot and only one could get it.

Some people got their toes stepped on or their favorite politician didn't get the call.

So, what!

Sarah Palin Changed Her Mind on Key Issue 10 Years Ago!

Sarah Palin's Daughter: First Conservative's Daughter Who Went Too Far Too Soon!

I will say this for the McCain caimpaign they picked a very good scapegoat once the TPTB choose Obama over him,they can place the blame on Palin since we all know this won't be mr.POW's fault.

The utter ignorance of some of our "conservative" commenters on this thread are beyond the pale. Peggy Noonan is not some washed up bitter has been, nor is she is liberal (I feel certain she would eviscerate you if you said that to her face). She is part of the vanguard of conservative editorialists and political movers, like Richard Viguerie, Phyllis Shalafly an George Will. (should you not even know who these people are you need to learn yourself a little about the movement you claim to be part of) The fact that on the day her WSJ editorial defending Palin she is caught saying pretty vicious stuff off camera is stunning. It goes to show the divide among the non-kool aid drinking conservatives on this pick.
Mike Murphy is a Republican analog to James Carville but with half the personality. But is conservative to the core.
Please do yourselves a favor and go a little beyond the Freeper websites, NRO's the corner and Instapundit for your information.

That is what I'm thinking. I could understand it goofing up for a couple of seconds, but for THAT long? Why? Wasn't anybody watching the television monitors to catch this?

The OP completely supports the spirit of the comment/link in my signature. Otherwise good and decent people are lying with regard to their approval and support of Palin. Are the neo-con PTB that powerful?

The GOP has gone with the "narrative" strategy, because that's all they have left. Why else would Palin consent to exploit her children and then have Cindy McCain be photo-op-ed right next to them during the convention? ...Not to mention flying the poor boyfriend in from Alaska.

It's disgusting and outrageous and the Republicans have the nerve to call Dems on the carpet about this debacle!

I sincerely hope for Palin's sake that she does well tonight, so she can regain some of the personal dignity that the Republicans have stolen from her.

Edit it add: No big surprise...now Cindy is holding the baby. Say cheese baby, the cameras are on.
