The introduction is about to begin.
Let's hear first impressions from everyone as this is happening.
Well... McCain just finished talking. Anyone? Anyone?
McCain presented her qualifications as follows:
- she's got executive experience - she's got kids - she is or was a union member and so is her hubby - she's exactly what she needs - she's exactly what the country needs
Andrea Mitchel just woke up from her feministic reverie... she's wondering "has the McCain campaign just conceded the 'experience' argument?"
Well duh, Andrea. Palin is a GOVERNOR - ie she is a manager, and a gorgeous one at that unlike Put a bag on her Head Andrea. McCain picked Palin to cover his own Senator for Life weakness ie. lack of managerial experience. When McCain criticized Obama for lack of experience, he was criticizing Obama for being inexperienced in federal politics as compared to himself - he was comparing his Senatorial experience to Obama's Senatorial experience.
But I think you knew that, didn't you, vast?
McCain and Obama are both anti-America. But in terms of chess, McCain's the better player.
The 'experience' thing was McCain's strongest line of attack. I bet you anything that yesterday was the last day you could watch an 'experience' ad from the McCains. What is McCain's left with now? Explaining that he's not Bush? Attacking Obama for not being Hillary?
He's done because he's got nothing to talk about between now and November other than "Look whom I picked. Isn't she lovely?"

Yes, but if and when the Obie crowd points out Palin's inexperience, it backfires on him by highlighting Obie's unbearable lightness of experience.
Palin 2 years Gov Obie 2 years Senator.....
On the sociocultural front, she's a home run, what with hubbie having a real job of commercial Alyeska fisherman (a brass balls type of trade), - not a lawyer whitecollartype, and a bevy of kids, one deploying to Irak.
She's easier on the eyes and ears than Biden. Not a traditional feminist, but the epitomy of a postfeminist feminist encompassing political reform, mother, with a working stiff spouse, and being Alaskan, harking back to a frontier woman image.
The Obies don't have to point to her inexperience, unless the McCains are stupid enough to ever mention it again. The damage done to the McCains is that it effectively removed their most compelling anti-Obama argument from their arsenal.
swarthyguy: Palin was the head of the school Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
angle: That seals the deal.
Oh my, aren't we testy today...
Let's see...on the one hand is Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, raised as a Muslim in his formative years, who jumps onto Christianity when he's older out of convenience - in his own words in his biography, see Barry was thinking like a politician even when he was a teen - because he would be viewed as a "black American" if he was a member of a Christian church.
And on the other hand we have Sarah Palin who has always been Christian and who takes her faith seriously not just as political asset/deficit like ahem Barry...
Who to choose who to choose? America is merely 75% Christian by faith and 2% Muslim by faith...who best reflects America? Why of course according to angle , it's thumbs up for Barrack HUSSEIN Obama. Ha!
I try to not waste my time with lesser arguments. Let me sum up: I see the 2 party system as a fraud perpetrated on the American citizens. The money in charge chooses the two candidates that the global elite can direct and the ignorant sheeple go vote for one of the two like it's a choice. Palin is one of them...corrupt, complicit and an insider.
When posters who I like (lod) go gaga over this pre-selected suit with all the right sound blurbs, I see how regular people get sucked up into the show and I'm gonna speak up.
You like her and McCain...then vote for them. If they win, you deserve more of what's coming down the road. Same with the Obama people.
I might not have a solution to this crisis of exponentially increasing proportion, but I know enough that neither of these party hacks represent a solution. They represent more of what's wrong.
Palin is not an insider. At this time, she is a prop. And so is Biden, by the way and, I suspect he knows it and I have little doubt that she knows it too.
She is likely to become an insider and the process commenced probably shortly after she became gov'nor of Alaska. I see signs of her assimilation in her speech - paying her respects to Hillary and... Gerry Ferraro???
She was the mayor of Wasilla ( Pop. 9236 ) until 2002 when she was appointed chiarwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission by Murkowski. In 2006 she upsets Murkowski for Republican Governor Primary. In Alaska, you don't win without being an insider.
So, she's been a mayor of a town with less than 10,000 people, a chairwoman for 2 years and a governor for 2 years. And now she's a contender for the VP of the Republican party?
Alright, I must admit that I am unfamiliar with Alaska's political etiquette, I do notice that Alaska's population of about 650,000 (is this 1/4 of Brooklyn?) should offer many opportunities to anyone who wishes to seek a career as a state employee. A mayor of a town of 10,000 should be as big in Alaska as the mayor of a city of 5,000,000 on the mainland - do the math.
