Senator John McCain Picks Sarah Palin (Governor of Alaska) As His Vice President

Fox_News reports that Senator_John_McCain Picks Sarah Palin as his Vice_President pick. Verification has resulted after the campaign_revealed that Tim_Pawlenty, Mitt_Romney and Huckabee_were not John_McCain's choice. Drudgehas also reported this verfication. She has been the governor_of Alaska_for one term and has a great story. She recently gave birth to a downe_syndrome child. This is really exciting for all the women who want the glass_ceiling broken. Senator_Obama_did not want to pick Hillary to break the glassceiling, and chose_Joe_Biden_instead. However, John_McCain wants women to break the glass_ceiling and to be Vice_President. It shows he is more about change thanObama, by picking a woman.

Hurray for women and breaking the glass_ceiling. McCain/Palin 2008

Change?

This is the whole problem. If this is true, he picked her because she's a woman, no other reason. This country seems so bent on putting a minority "somewhere" in the ticket that they forgot to worry about who can do the best job. I prefer Obama because he gives us the best shot at changing the course of this last 8 years, not because he's HALF-black. I have never liked Hillary and, being from upstate NY, I can tell all you Hillary lovers that she is a terrible Senator, at least for upstate. She has done nothing for us. Also I still question the truth about the Vince Foster death. Would Obama have to worry about his life if he chose her? I would, however, vote for a woman who I believe would do a good job. I also believe that, the way the past 8 years have gone, you would be a total idiot for voting for McCain. My reason is that he is another George Bush. Obama will almost certainly NOT do a worse job than the last 8 years. So, if this true and McCain wins, it just shows how stupid the majority of Americans really are!

That's

That's I was sayin'. Palin looks like a "safe" pick that McCain is hoping she stays in the background and not hurt him. So many people give the public so little. Ferraro was trounced by Reagan and Bush. A huge part of that was the Carter/Mondale thing but another large part was that Reagan/Bush was just a better pair. Mondale couldn't compete with Reagan and Ferraro had nothing for Bush. Ferraro had a much better resume than Palin a this point in her career. We'll see how it plays out but I don't think this is going to work for him. Obama/Biden seems to be the better ticket at this point. Things may change. Women are not going to vote in mass for Palin just because she is a woman. Obama can easily counter that by pushing the Clintons which if McCain is smart - he doesn't want - he should want to keep the Clintons on the sideline.

Sarah Palin

Women who supported Hillary Clinton did so not just because she was a women, but because they felt she had the experience to be president. Sarah Palin has been governor less than two years ... her political resume is thinner than Barack Obama's Whatever votes McCain might get for choosing a woman will be more than offset by the ones he'll lose for choosing someone with so little experience. Choosing a VP who's ready to assume the presidency is pretty important when the presidential candidate is 72 years old.

McCain picks Palin

If this is true McCain just wrapped up the election, its all over but the crying. Every female democrat who was disgruntled that Hillary wasn't nominated, and then offended that she wasn't picked for Obama's vp will be thrilled that McCain named a woman and vote republican. I think it is one of the best political decisions he has made....if it is true.

"Wikipedia has confirmed"?

Wikipedia is a notoriously inaccurate source for "news" ... in fact, her article there mentions nothing about her being chosen VP. That suggests that the "news" was a joke and has been taken down by Wikipedia staff. If you've got confirmation of this selection from a legitimate "news source," please share it with us.

I hate

I hate to say it but this might be the end of McCain. Unless Palin weilds a big hammer, which I don't think she does, this may be a Dan Quaylish, Ferraro, Hamlin type pick. Especially if she has to go against Biden. She either needs to get up to speed real quick or hope the Dems look real bad beating her up. I don't think she is going to add much.

YEAH For Women

This is great for women and it appears Republicans care more about women and breaking the glass ceiling. The democrats talk about supporting women and breaking the glass ceiling, but they didn't put a woman who got 18 million votes in the VP slot. Way to go McCain!
