The Woman Who Beat McCain's VP

16. Looks are a big plus in politics, as in life in general. I figured whoever the Republicans chose would be attractive with good hair, but it looks like they went overboard to balance out the 'gnome' look that John Mccain has. It will be an interesting race.

17. Sarah Palin is one high-maintenance ICE WITCH by looking at her photo. While the good thing is, she reminds us of Michael Palin of Monty Python by name, she also reminds us of the worst of corporate greed by how she wants to tear into the Wildlife Preserve in Alaska to get drilling going. That is not progressive. Offshore drilling in far more favorable and less risky environments around the US coastlines in the lower 48 should be considered, not onshore drilling in such a vulnerable and valued area. Now we know that her ambition is more important than values. She's a would-be Earth-rapist! How is that progressive? That's not politics, it's Neanderthal.

18. she is awesome and a great speaker... i am impressed... she may of lost the beauty contest but she WON my vote. Way to go #6!! Being a "great speaker" is one of the main "knocks" against Bama. I guess it doesn't apply in this case.

If I were a woman I would be insulted. McCain feels like he can go and get "any ole woman" and put her on the ticket and win the women's vote. I would hope they don't fall for that trap.

22. Why is it fine that the Democrats put Obama on their ticket with his inexperience and all of his leftist baggage, but it's not ok for McCain to balance out the Republican ticket with a woman who has proven herself as a viable leader and also has been tirelessly dedicated to her state of Alaska? Give her a chance. Just because her name's not as big as Hillary's does not make her any less of a leader.

25. How sad to make a runner up to Miss Alaska, a mother of 5, wife and fellow Hockey Mom, "THE TOKEN FEMALE". Are there really Democratic woman out there that will cross lines, because McCain is using such a horiphic tactic. Ladies, if you do, you bought into a mindless game, which is McCain's MO.

29. #17. If I'm correct...Pageant are about beauty, talent, personality,etc. True enough she's no Hallie but she obviously had enough of everything else to win.

30. Palin is a 100% cynical, desperate and nonsensical choice for VP. That job is to replace the President of the United States if the sitting President is forced from office for any reason. Palin is ill-equiped for such responsibilities of national and international scope, dynamics and complexity. STUPID STUPID STUPID. The nostalgia of having a female VP candidate will only last a day or so. Then the horrid reality of putting Palin in that position will be realized and the GOP will be sucking for air at the bottom of the sea. McCain is lost and HE is the one with incompetent judgement. The Republican party is really going to hate this. McCain is the left-wing leader they already don't want and now they have this child as a VP candidate. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln must be puking in their graves.
