but I don't think she'll make a difference in the voting.

According to blogging sites and the enormous amount of e-mails Fox, alone, is getting, she's already made a difference.
Anyone who watches FOX is already a McCain supporter. Like I said,..he broke even with the pick. Wrong again. It is a FACT, indpendently verified, that the Fox news audience is 39% democrap. jorge

Maybe she will slow down on having the kids since the nights aren't so long in DC.

I'd say I'm pleased with McCain's choice for VP, the only two persons I particularly cared for were Palin and Jindal. I understand she may not be as well known as some but, she's a step in the right direction for the Republican party. A true conservative, imagine that. I really think she'll help connect the GOP with younger voters, she bridges the gap between Father Time and Generation Y.

What are your reservations? She's too inexperienced & too young and believes in man-made global warming. Also, I just have issues with women as mothers/C-in-C. I would have preferred Romney over both, but I can certainly live with it and I certainly hope I'm proven wrong on my concerns.jorge Your concerned that someone might think twice about committing our youth to combat? Just maybe, ya know, think matters through a bit? BTW, being a mother didn't keep Maggie Thatcher from sending her boys to the Falklands and kicking ass. Maggie Thatcher was one in a million. I'm a firm believer in the "Bell Curve" and I'm just not that comfortable with emotion-based decision-making. And like I've said, I hope I'm proven wrong. jorge

You don't think Obammy's team will be sending the brothers to Alakska in Sept/October to try and get some dirt on Sarah,do you?
It gets cold by then,right??

"Well as a CWO in the shallow water civilian navy, it doesn't take much to impress you."
As someone without personal military experience (my father retired as an AF bird col) but with much experience with CG activities I think your comment is chickenshit.
My experiences with AF jet jockeys have been "special" and not impressive in any positive way...
art Try again Ace. I'm no AF "jet jockey" and with all due deference to my USAF brethren,they're a hell of a lot more impressive than whatever the [bleep] you do...jorge

I just got the news,a bold stroke that will put a real woman with conservative values on the ticket.
How can we not be better off now?
She is everything Obama is not,his superior in every category,courage,race relations,character,and values.
McCain should serve for four years and then step aside to let her take the oval office.
God Bless America and God Bless Mrs. Palin,I hope my daughter grows up to be like her. Contrast her as a role model with Mrs. O.
Now lets get off our butts and our checkbooks and send them some cash so they can put the left out of buisness in this one.

McCain's going to have a difficult time trying to play off of Obama's inexperience now.
His running mate is the governor of a state with a total population about the size of the metropolitan area of a medium sized eastern city. First you say she's "window dressing" and now you try to ding her on her inexperience. You must be on your second bottle. BTW, the population of Alaskais only about 100k smaller than Delaware, yet I didn't see squawk about Biden. Oh wait I forgot, you're a democrap...jorge

You shouldn't be Mr. Jorge... But if you read the rest of my posts, I am in complete support. Tell you what, just raid that Union Chest of yours and how about a "C" note that McCain crushes the Marxist? jorge

You shouldn't be Mr. Jorge... Popapi, Jorge will adjust quite well as this expedition unfolds. YOU however are going to have to have ALL sharp objects taken away from you. Your posting yesterday indicates that you are going to vote for Osama Obama along with that little scrunge GPA. You KNOW that you are about to get yer asses kicked big time and that Obama will be relegated to running for dogcatcher in Chicago  .

I�ve lived in Alaska for forty-two years and don�t remember any governor who is as well respected as Sarah Palin. What she might lack in experience will be made up in integrity.
I�ve only seen her twice and talked to her once, both times at a gun show.

My Northern Va campaign work will intensify with this selection.
This will put a huge crimp on the Va numbers. I can see the Va polling numbers significantly changing by the end of the holiday weekend!

I see her as the closest to "one of us" that it could be. She shoots, hunts, fishes, is conservative, and hasn't been ruined by washington. A woman like Palin is a breath of fresh air for a conservative guy like myself. Hillary must be fuming over this choice and her supporters may think twice about voting for Obammy! This was a calculated move to throw Obammy off his game and I'll bet he is concerned, he certainly should be. I'd like to see a debate between Palin and Biden in the near future! Biden to the woodshed!

Much about leadership is allowing those around you to succeed. Setting them up for success and allowing them to be empowered. When the time comes for tough decisions the leader makes them but the leader is also surrounded with good people. They are in a position to pick the people around them, the people that will make daily decisions, that will lead.
I'm in a position where I not only enforce policy, I create policy. I haven't had the opportunity to pick the folks that work for me, but I have allowed them to succeed. You want people around you that will make decisions and they will make these decisions knowing you are behind them 100%. We, as a unit, have achieved some wonderful records and it isn't me, it's the wonderful men in my charge that have done it all. I ensure they have what they need to accomplish their job and buffer them the massive amount of 'stuff' that comes along.
I'm fortunate to have had these men in my charge, I can only imagine how much success someone (the President of instances) can have when they are allowed to PICK the people around them. Of course not all people in leadership positions are leaders and it's their inability to pick correctly and foster those in their charge is what frightens me (Obama for instance).
It's fun watching people with no leadership abilities discuss picking a leader, it's scary watching a person with no leadership qualities in a position of leadership.
