"Sa-rah! Pa-lin!" came the chant at a Colorado Springs rally on Saturday moments before Republican nominee John McCain took the stage with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a woman who was virtually unknown to the nation just a week earlier. The day before, thousands screamed "Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!" at an amphitheater outside Detroit.

I'm sure that Senator McCain and his staff realize at this stage of the game Sarah is his meal ticket.
Only on Planet Mittwit could Slick Willard Romney POSSIBLY be considered for one nanosecond, a better candidate than Palin.
At some point McCain decided he wanted to WIN the election, rather than win praise from the media at how “honorable” his losing effort was. He’s fired up!
Nothing wrong with that! Think 2012 and/or 2016!
Not to worry...he is a Gentleman and a Scholar....
Ok...maybe not the Scholar, but the gentleman
ok...so, he is not always the gentleman
Ok he is a Kick ##s take names guy who probably doesnt give a rip who’s name is called. He doesnt even want to wear the suit....He just want to WIN!!!!
I think that promoting Palin is not so bad. Afterall, some of the swing votes are PUMAs and just voting for the woman.
hey, right now no one can even remember who is on Obamas ticket!!! Ha! It makes me laugh ......Binden...Binder....Byler....What the heck is that guys name...
I agree with you. In 2008 it is McCain-Palin and I hope no one with real political credentials on our side suggests publicly or privately otherwise. I would like to think we need to preserve the dignity and honor of the office and respect McCain, i.e. not turn this into another media feeding frenzy for MSM. Certainly though I am hoping that Palin will have as much influence in the McCain administration as Cheney did in Bush’s, especially in energy and the budget.
It's OK, really. You can vote for both and know the vote for him is just a way to assure you get to vote for her as President.
Go ahead and enter this private confessional and confess that you will vote for the Palin ticket. don't hem and haw, just reach the conviction that it is the right, principled to do.
It's OK.......really
.....Palin will be much more stronger in 2012 .....
Her tenure as VP will in effect be an apprenticeship in Washington politics. The worst thing will be if it pisses her and family off to the point she chucks it all and returns to Wasilla.
Let us cross that bridge later.
I tend to agree. But these are human beings and human beings can be awfully odd and perverse. So far McCain appears to be simply rather giddy about the situation. Like Rush said on the day McCain announced the Palin choice: McCain never looked happier. I don’t worry too much about any of this but being familiar with human nature I know that these stresses do happen even to the best of us. I pray for them both.
Well look on the bright side, as VP, Sarah will be in the White House 12-16 years. If she goes to the top of the ticket, we get her for only 8 years and that would be a bummer.
By the way. Has anyone seen Joe Biden. Someone saw him with 5 people today and they were “ Union paid thugs”.
I agree. The GOP ought to swap the two.
lol you’re a riot!
Talk like that is only going to get under McCain’s skin and mess things up.
That's a risk that would apply regarless the office she holds in DC.
