McCain's gonna win. By picking a woman, he's like got the republican vote AND the hilary supporters

No the Hillary supporters support HILLARY CLINTON not some other woman. This could go to ways. 1. He could piss off some women voters because it seems like he's trying to manipulate their choice by choosing a woman. 2. He could gain a few more votes. Either way just because he chose a woman doesn't mean he's gonna win.

I wish I could have gone to this. Although, I'm an Obama supporter I would still have loved to been there.

I don't think that people were supporting Clinton because she was a woman. Maybe Obama because hes black but I dont feel the same thoughts from people on Clinton. It is hard to say but I think that McCain is going to beneift from her actually.

Though I love Obama's idea of change. Sarah Palin has real change. The only, i repeat, only, reason I would ever vote for McCain is in support of Palin. Palin has a history of true political change and not just policy change. Though she definately lacks foreign policy experience being from her own country of Alaska. No disrespect meant.
By the way, of all the politicians, shes my vote for best looking.

This women is a women who lives in alaska.... No offence to women its not a gender issue. But In my opinion anyone who didn't live in that side of the country had no clue who she is or was.

From what I hear she's pro-life and extremely anti-abortion, yet she has an obsession with guns and war [and presumably death]? What type of lady is this?

Oh the irony and hypocrisy...
Also, this concerns me, especially since she's from Alaska: "Her husband Todd is an oil production operator"(BBC News).

What scares me is the fact that if McCain wins and then gets fatally ill, assassinated, dies from something sudden, etc., she'll replace him. Then our world will be in true hell.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Sarah Palin
1. Sarah Palin has an Abramoff problem - a Pro-Palin illegal mailer was sent during her gubernatorial campaign on behalf of Palin by the RGA, the DC group that got money from Abramoff, Reed, etc.
2. She advocated against mine safety / pollution control
3. She has an anti-enviroment record and is on the wrong side of global warming and doesn't think polar bears should be listed as endangered because it interferes with her drilling plans.

Those aren't my facts lol, I found that off a website. And still, with those facts circulating in the media, it still can't be good for her, even if some of them are false or are 'moderated' truths.
