    Great choice, I can't believe the Obama camp has tried to attack her for her experience, she has more Executive experience then Obama and Biden combined!!!

    Well, I guess the selection of Gov. Palin will speak volumes to McCain's supporters AND McCain's detractors.

    I know I'm very grateful. It crystallizes so many issues and differences between the parties.

    However, if Senator McCain is trying to attract disaffected women voters . . . he has done himself no favors with this pick.

    Gender isn't the biggest factor for most of these voters. It's a person's record. And in Gov. Palin, these voters will find she's merely a female version of President Bush.

    Palin, who? What a terrible choice for a VP! Seriously, if McCain were to have health complications (he does have a history of cancer, remember?), would America be secure with someone in office with ZERO foreign policy experience? I'm all for change, but this kind of change is way too risky. She an oil lady..sounds alot like the same to me. It's obvious McCain is pandering to woman voters. Besides, most women will not vote for her because she is anti-choice. This lady even supported to not have polar bears placed on the endangered species list, and she's from Alaska! HEARTLESS

    If this election about judgment, the choice of Sarah Pahin shows poor judgment on McCain’s part.

    Any intelligent person knows when you choose to have unprotected sex at 43 you have a very high probability of having a child with Downs Syndrome. She used poor judgment not using birth control.

    Would she use better judgment dealing with our economy?

    Would she use better judgment dealing with our enemies?

    I for one am not willing to take a chance on Pahin’s and McCain’s judgment.

    Her choice to not use birth control is brilliance compared to Husein O'bama's marxist stupidity.

    I am a proud American who is thrilled with the VP choice of Palin! I am a proud American who happens to be a woman, a Republican, a pro-life Catholic, and NRA gun owner who happens to be a police officer. You democrats are so negative why don't you go back to the only thing that you know-that is Bush bashing and leave this classy, intelligent, hard-working woman alone!

    Another thing, I see the democrats driving around in your dirty vehicles with the bumper stickers all over the back. You the one's..........Save the whales and kill and an unborn baby!!! Im gay and proud of it, unless I want to jump the fence now and then!!! Screw Bush and everybody else!! Peace at all costs unless it affects me!!! BOY, it sure makes you wanna be democrat, doesn't it????????????? I think not............

    I truly believe that Ssrah Palin will do a world of good to the Republican party. Any woman who can hunt, shoot, raise a family, stay married and take on politics is my idea of a great woman. Plus the fact that I do not belive in abortion. I think McCain and Palin are a great team and our best bet to keep the country on the right path.
