I think the main thing McCain just did was to take the Historicalsignificance of Obama being the 1st black president out of the race. If McCains party has the same type of historical significance to his party getting elected then hopefully this will be a vote for the issues and not popularity or historical significance.
Now back to the age and experience bashing... :-)

weak choice once the shock value has passed Biden will destroy her in debates. she has no credentials/experience worth mentioning - most analyst thought she was far outside chance so obviously republicans are grasping at straws on this one.
I really don't think it's gonna matter too much who the VP is pick in the grand scheme of things. Were voting for the president NOT the VP.coming from the guy who voted for the same toolbag 2x

um shows how much you know about our system - right hand to the president and serves in the senate
its quite a big deal - considering you want to support a guy old enough to be your grandfather he drops dead of a heart attack and you want her to be your president; her experience consist of 1 year as Governor and being a city council member
dude you need to ask your parents to pay for some econ classes
Sarah Palin is a f*cking retard - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ys4H...ad.php?t=13538
Understand though, Hillary's supporters were behind her because she was QUALIFIED. Hillary is way different than Palin, I think its more of a slap in the face because essentially they're throwing those supporters a bone without much substance.
To compare Palin to Clinton is apples to oranges, he should have gone after the independent vote.
Yea but you can't really compare the two anyways as they were going after different positions.

I can beleive that about a percentage of the Hilary supporters, but you have to know there are MANY of her supporters supporting her merely just because she is a woman. There are MANY Obama supporters supporting Obama because he's Black. McCain knows this and is betting on that percentage to get the vote. You know, I know, everyone knows it.
The smart voter will support their canidate because they are informed and study their convictions and causes, the ignorant non-informed, DON'T Care voters will vote for the one that is a woman, the one that is black, the one that is older or the one that is prettier. The Don't care Grandparents will vote for McCain, the Don't care minorities will Vote for Obama, and the Don't care women will vote for Sarah. They are out there and they vote whether we like it or not and that is the people that vote on vanity instead of issues or convictions.
It's free voting country and both parties are trying to use that to their advantage. I can't blame either party for trying to pick up the DON'T Care vote. Either way if they win with the Don't Care or on legitimate voting, they still win and still get into office.

Thoughts?The volatile issue of teaching creation science in public schools popped up in the Alaska governor's race this week when Republican Sarah Palin said she thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the state's public classrooms. Palin was answering a question from the moderator near the conclusion of Wednesday night's televised debate on KAKM Channel 7 when she said, 'Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both.'
I agree with that.

That's a pretty sensitive issue. I somewhat support the idea of creationism being taught. While I don't personally believe in it, as long as it doesn't get into specific religious ideologies it wouldn't make me mad. I mean you have to take into account that evolution is still a theory, and it's hard to say what should really be taught. As long as they keep the separation of church and state by not specifically teaching a certain religion it should be fine. The problem with it is that the teaching of creationism would most likely be used to specifically promote Christianity, and that's where the line is crossed. It would have to be regulated to such an extent that I don't think it would work.

Still hasn't necessarily been proven. I do agree with it, but it doesn't make sense to isolate creationism as false. The problem with teaching it is simply the way it would be taught, not the idea of it.
Correction, it hasn't been physically proven. As in witness first hand, we currently have enough data to support it though. And there should be no fear in the way it's taught, if taught correctly. Get rid of the teachers who can't and bring in the people who actually know what they're teaching. Simple solution really.
I don't think he could have picked a better running mate. If you have ever heard this woman speak you would know that she is extremely intelligent and down to earth. She doesn't have a long history in office but the time she has served has been successful. I like her because she sticks to her guns. I agree that no one saw this one coming at all, but I think he made an excellent choice. If McCain wins, she will compliment him well. They make a great team.
you have got to be kidding me... that is a major understatment... he hasn't served 2 years as governor and was a city council member before that for Wasilla. do you even know where that is? ya me neither b/c NO ONE GIVES A SH!T.
biden is going to destroy her in debats \/
Palin dismissed the commissioner of public safety of Alaska, and the commissioner said it came right after he said he refused to fire palin's ex-brother-in-law who was in the middle of a custody dispute with her sister.

Also, what a great mother, has a 4 month old retarded infant and decides to campaign for VP. Must be nice to decide to take care of a baby when you're not the one that's going to be doing it. She should be a real hit with feminists and mothers alike. Heh, I mean, Pro-lifers and evangelicals are already creaming in their jeans over the fact that she got knocked up at 43 and didn't abort the sorry little f*ck (even after finding out he had Downs Syndrome).
Also that she fellates guns every night. This oughta rally the base.
to be honest i personally think that we dont have any good canidates, but i still say mccain is the better pick.
just read this
exactly, 5 kids, nra member this fills a couple holes mccain had.
As a useless side note, I don't know anyone who's so much enthusiastic about democrats as they are appalled by republitards. Democrats don't even have to be good to be better than the fantasy world sh*theadedness promoted by republicans.
wow pro life, now you got a retarded baby who will still drool on himself when he is 40..
Refer to my sig...
PRICELESS \/
As for the prospect of her being vice president, Palin told Kudlow that she could not answer the question of whether she wanted the job “until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day. I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here.”
