Her last child was born with Down's syndrome, she is what I think about when I see the bumper stickers that read "Alaska Girls Kick Ass!"

Well, that tears it. McCain/Palin has my vote. Maybe after being elected mcCain will be abducted by aliens or something. He can spend his remaining time as a guest in their hacienda while Palin gets the job done.

Sorry Penguin but I didn't see soccer mom anywhere on her extensive resume. Anyway whats wrong with soccer moms! At least they are taking an interest in their kids which is more than can be said for a lot of parents (mothers and fathers alike).

Let's hope McCain survives the election, if he doesn't, how does she look to y'all then?
Don't read anything into that, just saying....wouldn't she change your 'feelings' at the top of the ticket? Cause, that's all I'm reading, feelings. I'd prefer it the other way around.

I for one am thrilled!! Not usually a political poster, but I'm making an exception for Palin.
She has restored my hope for the McCain ticket. Young, conservative, drill at home, NRA, etc etc etc.... oh and she hasn't slept with any interns that we know of.
She's going to pull some of the independent women voters over from the Hillary camp, any straight male would be a fool not to vote for her and she just is a good politician. She's fresh, hasn't been in the game long enough to be in everybodys pockets and is all for political reform.
And....SHE's AN ALASKAN!!! WooHoooo

holy smokes where's a link?
never thought they'd have the balls to go there! Me neither. I've been hoping he'd pick Palin for months now, but never really expected it.

There are a bunch of grumpy, frumpy Democratic women packing their bags in hotels all over Denver, tossing their Obama buttons in the wastebaskets and thinking to themselves .... "hmmm."

A young dynamic person that brings more to the ticket than McCain. Would you rather being seeing this on the news for the next eight years or Obama for the next four.

I honestly didn't think McCain was smart enough to realize the wisdom of a Palin pick.

I had read about some political "stuff" being in her closet months ago but don't remember the details. What are they? Nutshell version: I believe it's her sister who was married to a state trooper. In AK, the game wardens are state troopers. He was allegedly involved in some poaching. Palin is accused of seeking to have him fired at the behest of her sister. Steve

Hell, you guys...women who never voted before will get out to the polls now.
Bammy or Biden can't go after her inexperience...she has more than Bam-Bam and she has executive experience, unlike both on the Dem ticket.
Great pick,McCain!!
