The Woman Who Beat McCain's VP

61. FIRST OF ALL I DOUBT ANY OF THESE PEOPLE COMENTING ON THIS ARE ACTUALLY FROM ALASKA, LIKE I AM.
BORN AND RAISED, ALWAYS PROUD OF IT.
663,661 that is Alaska population, not seven.
I read your website just about everyday and it definitely makes me think twice. eoline.com also publishes the same stories you guys do.
To attack someone for not winning a beauty pageant is quit ridiculous. I would love to see some pictures of the writers from TMZ. Don’t be jealous that our Governor has done great things for Alaska. She just signed a bill that approved a $1200 economic rebate for every Alaskan, and that’s an additional add on to our annual PFD which is around $2,000.... direct deposits on September 12 bi#$%#$!!!!
What other state do you know that gets free money every September? I'll tell you, not one.
Just look at the votes from the stupid poll you guys posted, YES was up 70%. I’m outraged on this article and I guarantee every Alaskan that comes across this bswill be too.
Unless you want to offend those "seven people" I suggest you recant your article and post a new positive one.
NO BIT****SSNESS TMZ!
p.s. Did you know Alaska is the richest state in the nation, where do you think all the oil comes from?

62. hey tmz, why make fun of a serious woman, you guys never did show biden before he got his hair plugs?? and she might of lost the beauty pagent, but she was the winner of a mayoral campaign, and a state governors campaign. she has more time in executive duties than obama, and he blew 100,000,000.00 on chicago schools, and the schools are no better off for it. so tmz, again i say stay out of politics, and stick to trashy celebreties, you know, your kind of people.

63.

I do think it is interesting that she also fought for campaign reform. One of the things that makes me give the squint eye to Obama is the fact that he did not receive any party money, which means that he doesn't have to account for where his campaign contributions are coming from, how much or from what special interest group.

I'm not naive enough to believe that political contributions are made altruistically. They are made for one purpose and that purpose is the power to control contracts, government funds and pushing self-serving specialty bills through the political sludge.

64. How and why does TMZ publish your comment and then deletes it???? There's nothing offensive, graphic or inappropriate language, tame enough to let your preacher read it and then TMZ deletes. JUst curious how their mind works. I'll be surprised if this post makes it on.

65. TMZ...You are so full of it. There is NO WAY that UGLY, SKANKY, TRANNY-LOOKING THING BEAT PALIN!!!

66. No offense to anyone, but as a non american UNBIASED outsider, i'd say firstly; she is a bad choice and SECONDLY: she looks like someone from naked news. i keep thinking she's gonna strip any minute. ehehheheheheeheh

67. Esstee, you hit the nail on the head! Palin is only selected because she looks very young and pretty. She's just the sort of cheap hooker stand-in to make the juvenile boy-males Bush, Cheney and McCain wet their panties. It's partly the old guy vanity, the trophy bitch. McCain has no intention of changing any Cheney/Bush woman-hating, greed at all costs "Israel and Halliburton above all" policies, he doesn't have the character development. The Republicans are led by corporations who use juvenile delinquents as puppets in office. That's why an idiot like Bush and slightly smarter but definite subsurvients like McCain and Palin serve the current Republican ticket so well. McCain and Palin will drown in the debates! Obama and Biden will roast them alive and the whole nation will be reminded what the office of President requires.

68. You all just can't give people of color a break. It's obvious that Palin didn't stand a chance against Maryline in the Ma Alaska contest but who is the real winner here. Palin is the damn Republican VP Pick and a Governor. So Palin is the overall winner but you idiots are so closed minded.

70. Some of you are sooooooooo right! (if you'll excuse the term, LOL) How can anyone take seriously a candidate who was beaten in a beauty contest? I mean, this is the Ms. VP beauty pageant isn't it? We of course, must only vote for inexperienced men, not women in this elec...er, I mean pageant! Homely people could never be elected to office. Just look at Abraham Lincoln or how about Woodrow Wilson...now there's a fox! LOL!! Only good looking contestants with charm, personality and vague meaningless speeches have what it takes to win this pageant in November. LOL!!!!

71. That person is ugly. Is is a man is it a woman is is a transvestite? Neither is is Obama's sister or all three of the afforementioned

72. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with the comments about not taking her seriously for being in a beauty pageant. She competed in those pageants to win scholarships so she could GO TO COLLEGE. Get your freakin' facts straight, you liberals.

73. Palin is even less qualified for the position of Vive President than Geraldine Ferraro was and look at how well that worked. I would never have an abortion myself but I refuse to vote for anyone who would take that right away from other women. Joe Biden as Vice President has far more qualifications than this woman does. He has been a Senator for 36 years, is now the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and thus has the experience that McCain has been claiming Obama lacks. His father was a car salesman and so he will pull in the blue collar and union vote. His elder son serves in the Delaware Army National Guard and is due to deploy to Iraq in October 2008. and those are just a ew of the reasons why he will make a good Vice President.
What voting blocks will Sarah Palin bring to her ticket? A few women who would vote for any ticket that has a woman on it, sour grapes because Hillary is not going to be President or Vice President, but no woman who voted for Hillary because of her position on the issues will. And, of course, she will bring the state of Alaska (it would be really sad if she didn't)This woman is the antithesis of Hillary Clinton. McCain already had the die-hard conservative and pro-life vote and the veteran vote so exactly what voter block is she adding to the ticket?
Remember, The Vice President must step in to serve should something happen to the President. Who would you rather have? A senior statesman or a woman with less experience than George W. Bush who has managed to nearly destroy the country in 8 years? While McCain is a healthy senior citizen whose family tends to live long lives: my father's mother lived into her 90's, he didn't make it past 67; My mother's mother was 94, my mother died at 83. So long-living ancestors does not necessarily translate into long-lived descendants.
I think McCain made a very bad choice in his vice president which will hurt him come election day.

74. @ Rosie: Alaska is NOT the wealthiest state in the nation. Not by far. New Jersey and Maryland are the wealthiest states in the US, although Alaska is in the top 10.

My friend from law school lives in Alaska- born and raised. She says that they have to pay people to live there, or most people wouldn't bother. Don't know how true that is.
