So what makes Palin special that she should be selected ahead of anyone else? There isn’t any single qualification. It is the combination of things that makes Palin an excellent choice. She is young, dynamic, a cost cutter, and she has populist roots, as well. She is likely to help cement the Middle American hunting and fishing generally blue collar vote through her ties to a similar community in Alaska. She is a pro-life Christian, which will strengthen McCain’s hand with the evangelical community. While we haven’t seen it yet on the national scene, she may be a tougher woman than Hilary Clinton. She made her way into the governor’s office on her own, rather than on her husband’s coattails. At the same time, she can be a diplomat. She was named Miss Congeniality in the Miss Alaska pageant. In short, she as all the credentials to be a strong running mate, who can help strengthen the foundation that McCain needs to win this year.

Nancy Pelosi, just before the opening of the Democrat party convention, stated that women have the most to win by electing Obama and the most to lose by electing McCain. The Republican Party and McCain can turn this on its head by selecting Palin and making Pelosi look like a fool in the process.
It’s a waste of time putting this up.
Carl Cameron is alluding to the fact that Mitt Romney is the Vice Presidenial pick for the Republican Party.
You heard it here first.
I’ll donate all I can for that ticket-heck may even volunteer!
Please, please, please let it be Palin.
I’m 20 minutes from Dayton!
not excited about Romney at all. Palin would wipe out Obama and hair locks-it will be a horse race with Romney.
Sorry..it’s a no-go.
Maybe next time.
I believe that the Ann Coulter rule applies.
And she may benefit from the Rick Lazio effect should mean Joe Biden scold her during a debate.
Frankly, I wish Tim was the candidate for President, and Sarah the Vice-President.
What an unbeatable pair!
McCain can turn this on its head by selecting Palin and making Pelosi look like a fool in the process.
::::::::
Regardless of who McCain’s selection is, no help is needed to make PELOSI LOOK LIKE A FOOL...she has already done that many times over, and just keeps doing it, especially when she says just about anything. Just a good, mindless, limo-liberal.
Are there any female pundits who are pushing for McCain to have a woman on his ticket?
Nope. Didn’t think so.
When are men going to start listening to us?
Palin looks like she could be an exciting choice for a number of things.
I like your thinkin. The PA/PA ticket. But I sure think Palin would be political hay with that newborn. I can hear Obama/Biden now. "Well, if Mac ever gets a 3AM phone call, at least he will know Sarah is already up. Changin diapers." Now if Mac picked Pawlenty, and in 4 years.......ah.
Here you go.
Never, apparently.
It’s probably now between Pawlenty and Romney for VP. Palin’s opportunity has truly come and gone, unfortunately. If Parnell (Palin’s endorsed candidate) won BIG in Alaska’s Republican Primary for the U.S. House seat, then, IMHO, Palin would still seriously be in the VP race, but that race is truly still neck-and-neck between Parnell and Young with the official results not coming for a week, if not longer. Pawlenty is truly conservative, but he’s also truly VERY BORING whenever he speaks. Romney is truly a much better speaker, but he’s also truly a FAKE CONSERVATIVE. Either Pawlenty or Romney as VP will truly have problems with both the general public and the MSM for different reasons.
Thank you.
Someone has to uphold the traditions!
I haven’t seen that one before. NICE! She has sort of that librarian image.
This is the only intelligent choice McCain can make...which is, I’m sure, why he won’t make it.
