We'll see come Nov 4. Romney would have been a horrific choice. At least I can vote for McCain/Palin without holding my nose.

there’s nothing wrong with the pick...mccain isnt rolling any dice.

she is a hard charging conservative...God, guns, country first.....compared to ‘safe’ choices????

i like it....

McCain’s pick today has all the hallmarks of a political gimmick and a hail-Mary pass.

Most folks around here know I was hoping Mitt would get the nod. My concerns about Palin were that she would be vulnerable to the criticism here. That said, I think she is a strong choice and will do an excellent job representing GOP principles.

Someone’s candidate didn’t get picked. Sorry about that!
Yeah for McCain and Sarah! I was so thrilled!

My wife, an anti-Obama voter who might have made it to the polls to unenthusiastically cast a vote for McCain as the lesser evil, is electrified. A poll of one. We’ll see how unusual she is.

Bizarre? Hail Mary? Unfortunate?

Call the Waaambulance for GOPublius...the whiner.

With competent and proven individuals waiting in the wings such as Governor Mitt Romney, the selection of Sarah Palin is a most unfortunate choice.

Sour grapes from Mittville? At last there is a proven, conservative on the ticket. I would have voted for a McCain Romney ticket, but I would have to set the alarm because the campaign would have put me to sleep.

Rubbish!

We are are talking a VP choice, not a Presidential choice. Palin will have the luxury of “learning on the job” which Obama wouldn’t.

What would you prefer? - An experienced President and an inexperienced “Funeral Attender” or an inexperienced President and an experienced “Funeral Attender”?

I think I can just slide GOPublius over into the 'damned fool' category right now.

Wha Wha . Sniff Sniff . But But , i wanted another old party hack to be the VP choice. Cue the hurricane ? So this guy is another puke praying for human disaster to help a political point of view .

The former Miss Congeniality, and hockey mom from “the last frontier” is a bizarre choice.

Au contraire, mon ami.

(Bit of French lingo there to show my friendship to M. Sarkozy.)

You, sir, or madame, didn't post a barf alert, nor did you offer any of your own thoughts on this article.

The 'hail Mary' comment was made by Chuckie today and I haven't a clue as to where you're coming from.

The left, perhaps?

GOPublius is parroting the Dem talking points. Not much GOP in him.....

NEWS FLASH! This just in: At approximately 10:30am this morning the entire Obama campaign (yes, including the Messiah himself) had to change their underwear.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out...

She was a great pick you dopes (sorry for calling you dopes you dopes). This is awesome !!

[PatriotBill]

What an ignorant article! Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama and is from a much larger state than Joe Biden’s little Del-a-where?
