That can’t be ignored. This can kill any serious bump for Obama and magnify any bump for McCain with the GOP convention coming up. If it’s all about the big MO then McCain might have scored big. Next opportunity for Obama to star large is the debates.

Given the early reaction, Biden must be feeling like a spare hubcap right about now.

I love her and her family! Thank you John McCain for picking her as your running mate! This has made the difference.

This is the first time I donate to the RNC since 2004!

McCain/Palin 2008!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THANK YOU FOR CONTRIBUTION < HOME

On behalf of President Bush and our Republican candidates, thank you for your generous gift to the Republican National Committee.

Your continued commitment to the RNC is crucial to helping elect a Republican president and reclaim our majorities in the U.S. House and Senate in 2008.

Thank you again for everything you do for our Party and our cause. Grassroots activists like you ARE the Republican Party.

PS: Please note, your contribution will be listed as “EDonation Republican National Committee” on your next statement.

Rush said that he thought the experience thing would be a rope-a-dope move. I agree.

Already heard a McCain spokesperson reply to the question if Palin had enough experience. The spokeswoman said, “Well let’s see, our VP candidate has more experience than your Presidential candidate.”

I do believe they want the MSM to ask that question of Palin, so they can hammer home the Dems willingness to accept Obama who has even less experience than Palin.

I can’t believe that jerk that e-mailed into Foxnews (saying he was a Republican which I doubt) and said that Palin belonged at home with her kids! WTH! It is insulting that Fox even read that!

Actually we have one of those people right here on Free Republic. Just follow the link.

Could it be we have a DU Troll?

The depravity over there never ceases to amaze me. Zero substance, non-stop hysteria.

See, that group over at DU is so self-enamored, they believe they know what the rest of they country is thinking. They were proven wrong in 2000 and 2004, and happily, they’re going to make the same mistake here.

They are going to single-handedly win this for McCain by attempting to villify Palin for her supposed backwater origins and governing experience. They are going to turn her into the underdog everyone will want to see win. Obama’s much too egotistical, Biden is much too establishment.

Let’s see what the substance of their argument boils down to:

“She’s pretty, therefore, she’s stupid”
“She’s small-town, therefore, she’s ignorant”
“She’s pro-life, therefore, she’s a tyrant”
“She’s pro-NRA, therefore, she’s bloodthirsty”
“Her son is going to Iraq, therefore, she’s a warmonger”
“She supports creationism, therefore, she’s a zealot”
“She supports drilling, therefore, she’s a planet-hater”

That’s all they’ve got.

We all know that no one is perfect!

Here is the difference: Republicans deal with a teenage pregnancy and provide a loving home for the baby....Democrats celebrate the pregnancy then kill the baby.

There’s not a single talking head on the news channels that are talking about the Obama speech.

Rush said that the written Drive-Bys are not digging the speech. Rush is playing a montage of Barry saying--I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I...but this is NOT about me! RUSH: Oh, this is gonna be fun!

Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but I feel like we have just heard from the GHOST OF RONALD REAGAN.

She is from the REAGAN GENERATION of Young Republicans brought up to believe that we REALLY CAN change things, not just be slaves to government. I know, I am the same age.

That Government WORKS FOR US, and not the other way around.

Close . . . Democrats celebrate a "woman's right to choose" and kill the baby.

So called FReepers have voiced that opinion right here on FR today. Believe it.

This IS The Ronald Reagan I was looking for...

Yes, I feel like after years in the wilderness we do in fact have our next Reagan.

You’re totally nuts if you dont’ think this choice is going to energize the Republican base, AND independents!

McCain WILL GET a 10% JUMP, not a bounce, due to this choice.

It is making all the Demodogs apoplectic, as can be seen not only here but at DUh.

I predict that even many LIBERALS will be voting for McCain now, due to this maverick choice!

One of the comments they just read on the air was saying that her place is “at home raising her children” apparently it was received by telegraph from the year 1873.

LOL! Apparently so.
