If Sarah Palin were a Democrat, the Republicans would be accusing her of not being a good mother, of not being there for her pregnant teenage daughter, and of not taking care of her infant with Downs. Republicans would be holding up Sarah Palin as another example of the moral decline of America with mothers turning into aggressive career women who work outside the home and put themselves ahead of their families. Why isn’t the same true of Sarah Palin as a Republican? Why not call a spade a spade? Sarah Palin seems like another “family values” Republican who values herself more than her family. This is important because of what it says about the distance between Sarah’s rhetoric and her behavior. Reminds me of Bush with his “compassionate conservatism,” which has turned out to be mean-spirited and a radical shift from America’s beacon of hope to the world. I am worried that Sarah would also lead America radically off course behind a smokescreen of high-sounding but empty rhetoric.

Obama ran uncontested in his early election to the Senate.

Palin fought an Incumbent Republican Governor and then the former Democrat Governor and WON.

This says a lot about her and a lot about him.

He won versus Hillary by inches in the end, his meme of Hope and Audacity becoming Hope and Change, then just Change, when the man represents no change from Hillary, and no change from Edwards, and no change from Biden. Any of them would have preached the same types of ‘change’.

Palin put her change down peoples throats for their ethics problems, and smashed them for it. She got tough, walked the walk, and did the talk. She is the real maker of change.

How can anyone dare compare being the chief executive of a U.S. State to grading law papers for 12 years? The audacity is nauseating! Comparing the education credentials of politicians is like arguing over seating preferences on the Titanic (no, not the movie). Remember how Kerry was so much smarter that that dumb Bush… then the records came out after the election and Kerry had actually been a WORSE student than Bush! Julie is just another “educated” snob telling the peasants what’s best for them. Anyone who reads Michelle O’s ‘educated’ thesis and does not weep for higher education isn’t paying attention. It would be laughable if it weren’t so serious an issue. It is being discovered that B. Hussein O. grafted millions of taxpayer dollars servicing Chicago neighborhoods that are worse off now than they have ever been. It was supposed to improve education in Chicago schools. When will the media tell us how that turned out? Oh, they’re not reporting it? It appears that the only thing BO has ever been placed in charge of was a complete failure.

How can anyone dare to compare the experience of a woman with a journalism degree from U of Idaho–who was a mayor of a podunk town in Alaska TWO YEARS AGO–with Barack Obama who has a degree from Columbia, a law degree from Harvard (where he was elected by other students as the president of the Harvard Law Review), and 12 years teaching constitutional law at the U of Chicago, and whose Illinois state senate seat constituency was 20X the size of Wasilla, AK population?? Totally absurd choice by McCain. Their educational credentials alone are like comparing a tricycle to a Lamborghini. Good bye GOP.

This is the best thing that could ever have happened to the American people. Governor Palin takes on all. Corruption, wild spending and good old boy politics as ususal. I just hope she won’t head for the hills after having to deal with all the scum in Washington. Well done McCain, well done. You have this independents vote. My check is in the mail.

Sarah Palin was so authentic during her presentation one has to see how very removed she is from politics as usual. She showed real affection and connection to her family, so unlike Michelle. I like that she isn’t too Harvard. I think that is the best type of representative, a real person. I think she and Biden will have the most interesting debates! Here from a black republican who feels the power of Goodness, Truth and Beauty glowing from the soon to be vice president Palin.

What can we say again? everything has said itself. John McCain has made the best choice for Americans, (Country first!) for his campaign, for Women, for ordinary people, for general parents, for parents with physically challenged kids, for conservatives, for Christians, for independents, for Clinton’s supporters, for reasonable democrats – except those who like empty argument, and McCain has made a great choice for CHANGE in the history! What else do we want to talk about?

This is not just democrat’s history making of CHANGE of color. Get me right,I AM A PROUD BLACK and African, so I don’t oppose Obama because of his color, but his credential, he is shortcoming be a President, he is good Senator, and we need him long there.

God bless America, God bless McCain/Palin, God bless everyone that read this.

[...] Zogby has Obama behind by 2 points, while the more reliable Rasmussen has him up by 3 to 4. John Kerry and Al Gore both had double-digit leads after their DNCCs. [...]

Pandering…Politics at its worst. A pompom girl and a old fart. Thats the best the GOP has? Im glad I left the party. It just goes to show the pathetic lust for power that the right has. Ron Paul would of never even given this poser a look. She is already being investigated for her lack of ethics. Oh…. thats right she would be right at home with the GOP ..thats the way you do business…
