HE SUCKS!! HE'S AN OLD MAVRIC!!!!

go sarah

not a pig!

I think that was very rude if Obama wants to be president then he shoudent do that to his opponent

Sarah Rocks!!!!!!

I wish Obama hadn't won the election I don't have a bumper sticker or a T- shirt but I'm sure for MCcain and Sarah.

Go Sarah !!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin, Beside what some bloggers say, is the RIGHT thing for this country. She shows how a rel person can govern a country. Yes she does need some preparation, but she would win the Republican Ticket in '12. I think she is the best choice, and behind her.... Mike Huckabee! The "thing" that won the presidency is in for a rude awakening! Go Obama, you need to look at it from different views and quit trashing the dignity of this woman. I love how she balances her polocies with faith in our creator and believes in what should be right! NOBAMA! GO SARAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SARAH PALIN FOR PRESIDENT 2012

- I already have my tshirt and bumper sticker!

GO SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain / Palin

The two would be absolutely the worst thing America needs. First of all, The people of the U.S. have had enough of "Bush" politics. If you haven't , go ahead and vote for the GOP again....Maybe, doubtfully, they can get it right this time around. I know I personally would not want to vote for a man who is in his mid seventies, or a woman whos only experience is running a town with less citizens than an average concert event!

I mean come on! She is AWFUL!!! Quit sugar coating it. She has absolutely NO idea what she is doing. She really should of stuck to Beauty pageants, that way the world would have been a much safer place than if she was 1 spot away from the most powerful office in the world. I know I am sounding harsh, but I get so tired of the GOP defending her. It is time to face the hard core facts and finally admit what an awful choice she was!!

GO OBAMA!!!!!

Palin Appointment

I am disappointed with the overall tone of the Republican party's campaign strategy. It was negative from the beginning, and have remained so with the appointment of Palin.

Senator Obama has paid due respect to his opponent, while pointing out the alignment between the current administration and Senator McCain. I am not convinced that Gov. Palin has what it takes and believe her selection had more to do with positioning in the polls than qualifications. This clearly shows that McCain is not acting in the best interests of the country.

Palin's appearance vs performance

I like Palin's appearance, her tasteful attire, her glasses, and her personality, but I'm embarrassed to see her stumble with senseless and verbose comments resulting from her lack of knowledge on a broad range of topics including Bush doctrine, foreign policy, Israel, the proposed economic bailout, etc.

Her performance is reminisicent of the infamous Ms. South Carolina's answer to the geography question in the Miss Teen USA 2007 competition.

Palin interviews

The response to Palin's selection as McCain's vice presidential candidate says volumes about American voters. Being mayor or Wasilla or Governor of Alaska may have consequences, but they pale by comparison with the consequences of having someone who has clearly reached her level of incompetence in the White House. That so many voters seem to believe that she (or they themselves) can walk into the most powerful office in the country without any understanding of the complexities of the job is incredibly scary. Not blinking as a response to global challenges is simply a high stakes game of chicken. I for one would like better odds.
