My Mom was a Hillary supporter. She was shocked at Palin’s selection, and then started reading about her and watching her, and now she’s voting for McCain! My wife has been indifferent, and now she’s settled on McCain/Palin also. It’s over.

My lib colleague at the U. (any other kind) squealed with surprise (though not delight) and said that it was a brilliant choice and that it would cut into Obama’s woman support.

More anecdotal evidence, I know two Obama supporters who are now going to vote for McCain because of Palin.

My wife had reservations about McCain, but she loves Palin. In her own words, “she's everything I want to be” (referring to her character and success not her selection as VP). Now she is enthusiastic about voting McCain/Palin.

I would caution people to lay off the glib “chick” talk. The women don’t seem to care for this. Courtesy of the wife ... LOL.

That said, my wife has an elderly aunt in NH, she and all her elderly friends, were backing Hillary. Yeah I know, they were supposed Rs. Now all but one of the dozen say they are voting for Palin, err, make that McCain — They want to see a woman in the oval office in their lifetimes. Even if it’s only the VP.

It’s really weird what a difference a day can make — And the right Conservative decision.

Does “Help us make history, vote McCain” work for you?

It was a very smart choice for McCain. He chose a classy strong lady. Obama is going to have a hard time keeping women on his ticket. Palin is a woman all women can be proud of. Biden is...hmmm well geesh I just get a sinking feeling when I think of him. McCain also has an advantage in that the public impression is that the media is unfairly trying to make sure Obama wins with an extraordinary level of coverage and like the good media they just keep on giving him more of it thinking that people just haven’t seen enough.

I’m telling you if liberals were as smart as they think have convinced themselves they are they’d really be dangerous.

It’s over.

I agree. I haven't been so excited about a political event since Bush won in 2000.

This is fantastic. All the Democrats can do not is shut up. Anything they say about Palin will work against them.

My wife was on the fence. Last night she was really intrigued by the Palin selection, but wanted to know more.

This morning she saw that idiot GMA weekend anchorguy go off on the McCain spokesman over Palin's ability to juggle campaigning and being Veep with having a special needs child. She absolutely lost it, practically yelling "THEY WOULDN'T ASK A MAN THAT!!!". She's now firmly in the McCain/Palin camp. Did I mention that we live in Virginia?

The ONLY smart Dem on this selection has been Hillary! Who congratulated Palin on her selection, and noted the historic nature of the selection while politely/graciously pointing out that there would be policy differences. The Obama-Biden campaign blew it, with Obama having to personally retract the initial comments that came out of his War Room. The nutroots and MSM are COMPLETELY blowing it with their reaction, which is going to drive GenX and trailing-edge Boomer working Moms right into supporting McCain-Palin.
