In high school they called her "Sarah Barracuda", she was captain and starting guard on her State Champion basketball team. A barracuda swimming with the DC sharks . . . this could be very interesting.

Folks that haven't lived in Alaska don't really understand just how different and grounded most folks are here. I've never met a better bunch of folks than those in Alaska.

Nice to see Alaska in the White House.

Great pick,McCain!!

I'm glad he didn't pick another senator. Four guys from inside the beltway when the problem is inside the beltway -- inconceivable. How could anyone take that argument seriously.

She served on a state commision that busted some courrupt gov./oil co. types, hunts caribou and has a son in the army. Seems too good to be true.

Actually I was hoping for Paul Volkker and a quick succession, God forgive me. Oh well, she beats the hell out of McCain himself. Hope for the best.

Politically probably a smart move. Might snare some of the female Clinton supporters who aren't happy about how things turned out.

The real big thing is conservative women Democrats who have been abandoned by the Democratic left will be crossing over to vote for her.

Some of the female Clinton voters?

Surely you jest??

Polls had about 20% of Clinton voters going to McCain already.

Sniffing way too many Nascar fumes, bro'!!

Oh God, I'm stuck here in Dallas at the daughter's house and they don't get Fox - I'm stuck with CNN!

And they're saying that McCain "Just took experience off the table" and how she will get blasted by Biden in the VP debate. They don't know what else to say, but they sure aren't talking about The Speech.

How could Bammy say one damn thing about one's inexperience?

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.


Between O'Bama and Palin, I'd easily choose Palin right here, right now. O'Bama's record on guns is horrendous.....

It isn't just folks who haven't lived in Alaska, it's folks who haven't lived in rural America, who don't realize how grounded most folks who live there are.

VOTE for PALIN for VP and whomever she's bringing along (grin)



where's STEVE NO? am thinking he's not happy about this?



btw boys it'll be on the news, but get the grassroot thang going, tell her your Alaskan friends are crazy about her, and while we hate to give her up, she'd be good for the country!

Can't be too many people outside of Alaska who have ever heard her speak. Maybe Steelhead and our other Alaskan brothers can say how she'll do.

I'd say Biden best choose his words carefully when he debates Palin.


one I think she's smart enough to use the lack of experience thing against the Dems.


no I don't have much experience being a politician, I have experience being a decent human being that believes in the goodness of individuals and their ability to improve their own lives with the least amount of government interference possible.

Alaskans elected me, cause I'm more like them, we're tired of politics as usual, tis why they chose me over Murkowski, and guess what lots of Americans are tired of guys like you too Joe Biden.

and sides if it gets nasty from the Dems, wouldn't surprise me at all to see Mr. Palin call Joe Biden out.

I'd have a lot more respect for politicians and lawyers in general if they didn't call each other every name in the book and then go have lunch with each other!
