McCain Vice President Choice is His Toughest Decision Yet
McCain needs to excite the dispirited party with his choice for the bottom of the ticket

The Republican Party
This campaign is a throw back to the thirties, that is the 1930's. Nazi Germany so to speak. The hatred, the nastiness, the absence of others is so sad. What has happened to this land. Rational thought, good values, and the teachings of Jesus Christ have been tossed to the wind.
God! Help the United States of America
McCain's Palin pick is a gross exploitation
I am a woman and I am furious with McCain's careless Palin VP choice. I too would like to know who is watching all of the children, with Palin on the political step ladder and the father off racing dogs, it's no wonder their 17 year old daughter is pregnant. Obviously in need of some attention.
Sad as it is, this is The United States of America. Still using sex as a marketing tool.
Palin, shame on you for letting McCain exploit you because you are female and shame on McCain for asking that of you, of course you couldn't JUST SAY NO!
I am proud to see that women are playing major parts in politics today. However I am sad to see that voters are being played by politicians easier than ever before. Is it really hard to figure out? McCain needed a vice president who has a reputation of shaking things up so people would believe with Palin's reputation, she would step out of the box if needed. But as a vice president, she still has to follow the direction of her commander/chief. What will happen if she disagrees with him but he says he still wants to do things his way? (with his Maverick attitude)She will have to either go along with him or step down which will only create more problems in the white house. Is McCain really the type of person who once he has his heart and mind set on what he wants to do and how he wants to do it will change it because someone disagrees with him? Everybody should know better than that.
Sarah Palin
We are delighted with Palin, at least one conservative out of four, not that good...but still better than an 'all gay country with unabated killing going on'- may heaven smile on us.....S
women also support Palin
I was watching US News Report today and Andrea Mitchell (obviously and Obama supporter) used her weight to say that educated women would not support Palin and that she would bring over the blue collar worker women.
We can watch this kind of reporter behavior continue to try and elect through twisted opinions and bias over reporting.
I for one-am a life long Republican that changed parties (gasp) to vote for Hillary. I have declared that the way the party treated her is enough for me to return with joy. Yes- I wanted Her because she is dynamic, outspoken, a great leader and I want a women. I was returning to McCain before he picked her because of the treatment of Obama to her. I get it but he didn't. For McCain to have found the same qualities in Palin …that is fantastic....
Warning to him...don't joke or belittle her or her office. If he wants respect for all women...he needs to be respectful. He can joke later when he wins and turns the economy around when we are in a laughing mood.
Let it be known....They have a woman with a MFA coming back to the party and two votes for President…both my husband and mine.
Sarah Palin
You talked a lot against Sarap Palin, that she has no experienced on the national level. How about Osama.., I mean Obama? Does he have experienced? Palin is running for VP and Osama..este Obama.. is for president. Why not concentrate on the presedential bet. Palin face is sincere, not like Obama who is taunting you.Do you know what is in Obama's mind when he speak in front ou you smiling? "You f''l, vote for me".
A lot of people praise Obama for a good speech. If you want a president that is a good speaker or good in making speech, why not go to your best university and convince those public speaking professor to run for president.
If Obama will win this election, a lot of countries will be inviting him to lecture on public speaking and deliver a good speech. What a SHAME!
You democrats are out of your mind, you vote the joker Obama rather that the sincere Hillary.
God will not bless America if Obama become your president.
vp choice
I to was looking for mitt until he would not answer my e-mail to him. His campaign was over so he had time to answer it but failed so I lost interest in him.
Sarah Palin has 2 years as a mayor and 2 years as a governor, Obama has 2 years as a Senator and out of those 2 years has actually 143 actual senate working days so now tell me who has more experience.
Has anyone stopped to think the burden that will be put on the younger folks if Obama is elected? Starting from the time he is elected he will start earning the high salary of a President and continue till he dies not to include security and yard maintenance, maids, cooks, and anything else he wants.
McCain is 72 and I do not think he has as many years left as Obama does, so the burden would be shorter.
It is rumored that Obama has not produced a birth certificate to the election committee as of this date and that he may not qualify to be President because he may have lied as to where he was born, the source suggest he was born in kenya.
I believe this country is looking over there shoulders in a lot of things, because to become a national truck driver you have to go through a much more rigorous back ground check.
When Americans go to apply for a job the first thing they want is identification and application and some times a birth certificate like in truck driving applications, so why is American citizens trying to put a man in the highest position in government with only 143 actual working days in the senate?
have enough sense to realizlie that what mccain has done was not the most wildly popular decision but. Belief that palin will be able to bring in more swing voters than she will scare away conservatives. It has been some time since America has had a true conservative in any great position of authority and palon, while chosen to draw in and pacify moderate liberals and independents- chosen strictly fore more libral, socialigical reasons- she seems to have decent roots as a down to earth and sensible person. Her levelheadedness and less prominent political corruptness will perhaps bring our nations leadership back from the brink. Palin's positive attributes far outweigh the negative ones. Should she ever become president by default, perhaps some less experienced diplomacy will result in some hardnosed straight talk that will achieve more in the convaluted world we live on today. I would trust her obviously sufficient common sense in a war situation- I believe that she will listen to her generals and take their advice and I'd a man like patreyus stays at this post, no harm should occur. The American people have got to look past the vote and consider that perhaps all of this experience that is being vyed for is what leads to all of the corrupt decision making that is part of our problem In the first place. I am dissapoonted that myself, a fifteen year old can manage to think rationally about this wham not many others appear to be doing so.
