McCain/Palin ???

[Giselle]

Palin:
- 44 year old mom
- won Miss Wasilla beauty pageant
- majored in journalism; was a sports reporter
- rose from mayor to governor in the past 8 years

Hmm...and this is coming from a campaign that has been consistently and fervently attacking Obama's readiness to lead the country and his lack of national experience.

I'm sorry, but, imo, this is obviously a move to gain Hillary's feminists who have been put off by the Biden ticket. And it is a cheap cheap shot. Not to mention Palin is staunchly pro-life. I doubt the ultra-feminist types are going to fall for that...

McCain is old and has battled melanoma. Chances aren't low that Palin might have to assume the Presidency. I don't know about you, but that scares me.

Disclaimer: Obviously, I'm liberal and lean heavily towards Obama.

I loved Palin for doing the Monty Python stuff.

Here's my thing about who get's elected.


I look at the presdential office as the guy who drives a bus.

We are along for the ride.

So, I would rather have some old guy that will get us to where we are going before we crash and burn, and maybe the 'back up 'driver can save us before that happens?

On the other hand, why have some rookie come on board for on the job training while some old dude gives him directions from the back seat?

Neither has given me any real answers about what they will do to improve the state of the union.

BO isn't an ordinary politician. He's a used car salesman.
JM is the kind of car salesman that will tell you, "I guarantee it's a good car buy it or get the eff off my lot."

Somehow I'd rather be treated rudely and know it's a good car, than have some dope tell me, "buy this car, As Is......"

Young and Stupid or Old and Infirm?

I wonder what Will Rogers thinks about it!

As an Alaskan, I am shocked at this decision. I never saw it coming.

I have met Sarah Palin and like her very much. I work with her husband in Prudhoe Bay. They are devoted to their family. She just had her son in April! He was born with Down Syndrome. So, I'm very surprised she accepted this offer.

Some friends "Outside" were asking me about the unique names of their children:

Track - Son. I think he was named for one of their favorite sports
Bristol - Daughter named after Bristol Bay in Alaska
Willow - Daughter named after a town in Alaska
Piper - Daughter. Piper is a type of airplane
Trig Paxson Van Palin - Son. Not sure about Trig, but Paxson is a place in Alaska and Sarah and her husband are Van Halen fans
