In choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate he is not thinking "outside the box," as some have said. More like out of his mind.

Oh shut the hell up, CNN. If a Dem had chosen a female VP you'd all be going on and on about what a historic moment for women it was.

Paul Forehead Begala crawled out from under his rock for some sunshine.

Paul Forehead Begala needs to be reminded on his predictions about al gore and john kerry.

It has been how many years since he got one right?

As an Odds maker Foreheads resume does not fit the bill.

So according to the Forehead, McCain is out of his mind for picking a woman as a running mate.

Can't be experience because she has as much if not more than the candidate Begala worships. The only logical conclusion I can reach is Begala is a woman hater.

“I’ll bet words like “Bold, Fresh, and invigorating” were all over the place.”

Yep, and with old Ferraro, don’t forget their favorite word, “historic.”

The media has a lot of work to do to destroy this lady, but they will relish it.

The old fox has shown that he is much wiser and smarter than the Obamessiah. He picked someone who is an outsider, who is conservative to a fault, who has proven she can take on the good ol’ boy network and win, she’s a real reformer, a mom of a five children, a hunter, a fisherman, and she’s pretty, too!

Of course the left will label them as the Beauty and the Beast, but I don’t think that McCain will mind being associated with something dangerous.

Hell, they are scared of strong liberal women. But since the strong liberal woman purposely seeks out a wimp she can dominate, they allow people like Begala to hang around.

“Palin a first-term governor of a state with more reindeer than people, will have to put on a few pounds just to be a lightweight.”

And Barak Oh,Bummer is Begal’s idea of a heavyweight.

Not a very charitable piece, Buggala.. Besides, VP is just for show,. If you dont think McCain can live gfor a few more years than you ought not vote for him in the first place.

Besides, who is less experienced? Community Shakedown artist and part time race baitor Obambi , or the sitting governor of Alaska? ..You dont make a strong case, you left handed shill.

Even more so since many of them have no guns or religion to which to cling.

Funny that you should say that.

I counted 8 times that Biden said the word G-d in his speech on Wednesday. Obama said it twice, in the usual closing sentence.

McCain did with the Palin pick what no one thought possible, unite the various wings of the Party.

She is a strong social conservative, with a Libertarian streak in her.

That is why the Liberals are moaning, they see a strong united GOP as opposed to a divided Democratic Party.

McCain is running a brillant campaign.

Hey DNC, you had your chance to have a woman on the ticket, Obummer. The election is now Drill or No Drill, nothing else.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I think it's a great pick.

We have them on the run already.

The timing was perfect... so much for an Obama bounce. They are now looking petty going after Palin.

Got 'em again!

Is Karl Rove lurking out there? This looks like a move he'd advise.

Further proof that the left is running scared. They HATE this pick. That’s how you know you are doing something right.

The left knows they have 24 hours to permanently scar the pick.

There were ready for Romeny and all the other high odd candidates. They were even ready for lieberman (dodged that bullet)

So now they are going with the easy attacks of experience to try and smear as fast as possible.

Poedesta and Dean are probably working overtime because this could could MIGHT hurt the down ticket if the happyness spreads.
