DENVER - John McCain kept his vice presidential pick a closely guarded secret hours before the high-stakes announcement Friday as top prospects seemed to drop away and speculation moved to darkhorse candidate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Two GOP strategists close to the McCain campaign said all indications pointed to Palin, 44, a self-styled "hockey mom" and political reformer. The strategists spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized by the McCain camp to discuss the matter. There was no confirmation from McCain or his advisers.

With an announcement scheduled in Dayton, Ohio, an associate of Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said the governor had been informed he is not McCain's pick. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for Pawlenty, who had all but ruled himself out.

A way nutty pick, IMO. If the Rs main argument against O is he isn't experienced enough to be president why would Depends choose Palin, who offers the Ds the same argument.

PS: Will anyone here please close the borders.

The 'experience' factor is so much hookum - how much did smirk, bentmember, Reagan, or anyone else really have before their presidency?

The controllers have all the experience that's needed for our next sock-puppet.

I have never found what the qualifications are for being president.

There are none. Looking for a Saintly, intelligent, insightful politician is a rather absurd notion. The "system" throws out two owned candidates, the sheep rush to the polls to pick the "better" man. What a shameful waste of time.

I will only vote for one type of person anymore, ie, the one that stands up and says, "I will do what is best for the country, I promise you nothing", sits down and that is his total campaign.

"I will do what is best for the country,...

That right there disqualifies a person to be president unless they happen to be standing in Israel when they say it.

True, a shame is it not?

I have heard all of the BS promises way back to and including Roosevelt, people were naive and gullible then and remain the same now.

Paul promised us nothing, he did say what he would DO and the people gave him the back of their hand.

Can you imagine any candidate on the platform telling able bodied Americans on the dole they had better FIND a job they like or he will give them one they WONT like if he is elected???

Can you imagine any candidate saying he will give illegals 90 days to leave the country or be hunted down and thrown out????

Of course not. That would be good for the country and we cannot have that.
