The introduction is about to begin.
Let's hear first impressions from everyone as this is happening.
..."Governor Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president," the McCain campaign said in a statement Friday. "Governor Palin has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of. Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today."
She is beautiful, smart, talented, honest, a Christian, and someone who would restore some honor to the office of v.p. Lord knows it needs it.
But lodwick, doesn't all that make you wonder why she would agree to be John McCain's running mate? I mean, unless she believes he is going to die the day after the election, in which case she becomes president. They can't have much in common (assuming that all that stuff about her is true).

For sure I couldn't vote for old POW hater and wait to see the old buzzard croak. With my luck, I'd be seein hell freeze over and that bastard still in the WH!!!!
Must have missed that. Ping to JD...he almost ripped my head off for suggesting there were McCain afficionados at 4UM.
So, there is one? And maybe four or five who support Obama? What that tells me is that very few of the people who post on this board are fans of any establishment whore. But I guess if you find a big enough crowd you can always find a few who "go along to get along."

William Ayers served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund.
Yep. And the POW hater was best buds with a fella named Charles Keating-- something to do with savings and loans--and a number of other criminal-type senators.
Yes. With a caveat about your own homeland being invaded or attacked--not this gawd-awful bullshit 'preemptive' or 'terrorist' sort of crapola being shoveled out by the bucketloads nowadays.

Remember that Reagan despised GHWB, but 'they' told him to select him for his veep.
And then tried to cap Ron shortly thereafter.
I cannot figger out who told McKook to select SP, or why.
I'm going to vote for her. At this stage of the game, what could it hurt?
They ran all the dissention out by pretending to be independent of both political parties.
It sure didn't take much to win some people over to the McCain team. All it took was a decent looking woman. If that's all it takes to get votes from "independents" for a PNAC puppet, we're all doomed.
Knowing what I know about McCain, I wouldn't vote for him if he had Jesus Christ as his running mate, because running mate or not, William Kristol and Gary Schmitt would still be telling him what to say, do, and think.

Well, to vote for her means you have to vote for that whackjob, loose cannon, McCain too. Maybe if she were at the top of the ticket or maybe if Ron had gotten the nomination and she was running with Ron, yeah. But Mclame? I "can't go there" myself, "wouldn't be prudent." But of course I am not going to vote for Obama and his sycophant plagiarist either.

Maybe she thought the MTV crowd was a little on the "lefty" anti-war side. She is pandering to greens in the video, is she not? She's probably safe for the pro-war right, so she's not safe for us until we know more about her. On the other hand, that her video interview stays up on the MTV network where she makes positive remarks about Ron Paul shows how much the GOP worries about his supporters and what it means to have the party split between the war camp and the peace camp.
Geez, "desperate people do desperate things", my father always told me. Sorry to find out you're not the person you presented yourself to be. Gag me, you're a McCain voter.
But don't worry now, they won't run you outta here like they did the Obama supporters. They were just pretending to be neutral. Now that they have an event (beauty queen vp, gun slinging, ANWR supporter) to rationalize voting for the 100 year war and the complete annihilation of our constitution, no problem.
My link has a corrected reference to HC's video post, if you want to see if HC's thread needs fixing up. I didn't listen to the video all the way through carefully, but I don't think I heard anything about the war.
On April 18, 2008, while in office as governor, Palin gave birth to her second son and fifth child, Trig Paxson Van Palin, who prenatal genetic testing showed would have Down syndrome. She returned to the office three days after giving birth.
Jeez, so much for the kid...let the Nanny take care of it?
Obama entered Harvard Law School in late 1988 and at the end of his first year was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review based on his grades and a writing competition.[17] In his second year he was elected president of the Law Review, a full-time volunteer position functioning as editor-in- chief and supervising the law review's staff of 80 editors.[18]
Well I can tell you right off the bat that this wiki stuff about Obama's Law Review appointment is garbage and omits some raaaather notable details.
Historically Harvard Law Review appointments were based on grades and an essay BUT Harvard then went into Affirmative Action whole hog and established a minority quota for Law Review candidates and Obama was one of the first blacks to take advantage of this minority quota set-side Law Review appointments.
Then he got elected President based on his campaign politica skills - he was the only black in the race and as you can imagine in the early 70's when white guilt and East Coast limousine liberalism were starting to show their prominence on elite campuses, Obama made good use of the golden opportunity that presented itself.
"First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review" 02/06/1990
Some cut and paste:
...Change in Selection System
Mr. Obama was elected after a meeting of the review's 80 editors that convened Sunday and lasted until early this morning, a participant said.
Until the 1970's the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.
That system came under attack in the 1970's and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.
Harvard, like a number of other top law schools, no longer ranks its law students for any purpose including a guide to recruiters.
Blacks at Harvard: New High
Black enrollment at Harvard Law School, after a dip in the mid-1980's, has reached a record high this year, said Joyce Curll, the director of admissions. Of the 1,620 students in the three-year school, 12.5 percent this year are blacks, she said, and 14 percent of the first-year class are black. Nationwide enrollment by blacks in undergraduate colleges has dropped in recent years.
Mr. Obama succeeds Peter Yu, a first-generation Chinese-American, as president of The Law Review. After graduation, Mr. Yu plans to serve as a clerk for Chief Judge Patricia Wald on the of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Mr. Yu said Mr. Obama's election ''was a choice on the merits, but others may read something into it.'' ...

That reminds me of the Monty Pythons 'the Meaning of Life".
The were showing "the Irish" - a housewife in the kitchen, cooking, washing while babies were dropping off her tummy... it was actually funny - the dozen of already born kids singing "every sperm is precious".
i was simply trying to prove my point to lod--that she's a pro war republican-- by asking buckeye if palin had said on the video or anywhere that she supports the war on terror. i think we're pretty safe in assuming such, but i'd like to see or hear it from her.
