You conveintly avoided her support of the Bridge to Nowhere. She didn't change anything in Alaska. The only thing this "renegade" Governor changed was her mind. She's a fraud who is all hype, McCain failed to do his research and himself even said his first act as President would be to nominate someone who is most ready to fill in as President should something happen.

Really?? Her?? More qualified than Tim Pawlenty, Charlie Crist, Tom Ridge or Mike Huckabee???  So let me get this straight, she:

Is inexperienced
This state trooper investigation does not look good (There apparently is audio tapes which she recently admitted to)
She said "Yes" she supported earmarked spending and the Bridge to Nowhere (a $300 million dollar bridge in Alaska). She even went so far as to say they should hurry it up while the republicans still have a majority in the senate (this was said in October 2006). THE SENATE rejected the bill, NOT Sarah Palin. She later vaguely said Alaska will look for other transportation measures. {for the record, Ted Stevens, the Republican Senator who supported the bill Palin endorsed is the same politicans who hysterically said "The internet is a series of tubes}. There is no defending this bill. I repeat, there is no defending this bill. It was a laughingstock in National Politics. Also crippling her stand is she is the only one of the four who supported it. How will she defend this stance when Biden rejected it?? As did Obama AND McCain
She said on CNBC "Someone needs to tells me what it is exactly that the VP does every day?"
She resorts to laughing when 2 doofus morning show DJ's call another (Republican) politician a bitch. I suppose that is what McCains referring to when he says she "Took on politicians in her own party" because nobody can now prove any wasteful spending she "rejected". She didn't "Say No" to wasteful spending as she claims, SHE ENDORSED IT. Other people had to reject it for her.
She also brings no states and will bring very few Hilary supporters or independents. She's a nutjob and people want her to possibly run this Nation, select  Supreme Court Justices who could shape the future of this country and lead this nation in war??

McCain's plan for the future is to drill drill drill. That's will solve all the problems in America.

I agree with you, and to be honest, I don't think many will. It helps sure up the conservative base, but I think Huckabee would have done that as well, he is also a governor, but he would be more prepared to take office than her (not that I'd want him, but he is more qualified). I really hope McCain didn't think Hilary supporters would vote for him because any woman was on the ticket. It's pretty insulting, saying one woman is just as good as the next. Honestly I think he should have chosen Tim Pawlenty, even though I don't know much about him, but there would seem to be more qualified, as is Mike Huckabee. Wouldn't you be pretty pissed off if you were passed over for a promotion for some young hot chick, even though you had years of expereince over her?? I would. And also Charlie Crist would probably be more qualified, and also probably bring a state.

Is she really the "renegade" governor McCains making her out to be??

Apparently it's already come out she was "for" the bridge to nowhere, even was quoted as wanting to hurry it up before the GOP lost their majority in the senate. It was only after the bridge to nowhere became a national laughingstock that she later opposed it. She was even quoted in the Anchorage Daily News as saying "Yes" she is for it. So, first she was for a $300 Million dollar bridge project in Alaska, then she was against it??

Personally, even though I'm a Democrat, I just don't find her electable. The qquestion "Is your VP ready to take office on Day 1 is bound to come up in debates. Obama has an answer, I don't see how McCain can answer it. Also, James, I know what you're saying about Obama not being able to say anything bad about her lack of experience, but on the other hand don't you see that working both ways? McCain really can't talk about Obama's lack of experience as much anymore, because at 72 his VP has alot more weight than most elections. McCain had 1 strong point over Obama, and now he reduces that strength. And I still don't see McCain having any strength on economic issues, not helping him was his quote earlier this year saying "I don't know much about the economy".  I noticed even conservative Michael Savage doesn't get it.

It'll be years before the oil is being pumped & used. By then we'll need to be looking for alternate energies anyway, because even forign oil will be dwindling because China, Russia & India will be using more than us anyway. Might as well be proactive and start looking now, 10 year searly.

Obama also "won" by the current voting process in place. Palin was hand-picked.
