Obama could have wrapped this up by picking Clinton. I always am amazed by politicians. They really don't know what the average person is thinking.
 

Obama's thought process for choosing his VP was obviously not campaign motivated. Sure, 35% of delegates wanted him to pick Clinton and only 6% wanted Biden, but he is the one that has to judge how effective that administration would be. It sounds like you see the VP nomination as a two month parade instead of a four year commitment.

McCain opted for a two month parade and Obama made the career decision. Which one displays better long term planning and judgment?

You could say the same about Palin. She was barely on the radar. McCain needed to to go to the base which he did. Obama needed the "experience" ticket which he did. As a conservative I think he made a BIG mistake not picking Hillery. He would have wrapped it up. I was really thiking McCain may  ask Hillery to be VP, which would have been really out of the park. Most of the other McCain picks would have been dead in the water beside Palin and Jindal.  To say Biden is helping the ticket is dreaming.

I haven't been wrong since Reagan but this one, I don't know.

Dr Chicken i agree i think both canidates picked poorly as well. I was all set to vote for Mc Cain but he paid homage to the right wing conservative vote. While i get it was a stragedy move why did he feel he had to cater to them? What about the moderates as well as the independent voters? To me this year will not be about demo/rep it will be who the swing voters are which are the independents. I was  hoping for a Mc Cain liberman ticket......

 I was also hoping O/hill ticket neither happened. While it is unlikely that something happens to either president while in office ( just in case i have to keep that in mind). Since i am clearly not conservative Mc Cains choice dissapointed me.

Yes Mc Cain a pant suit mattered and she is NO hillary ..................................

I never insinuated that Biden is helping the ticket. I also thought I made my opinion clear that it was not Obama's intention to shore up the Clinton supporters with his VP selection (obviously it wasn't). What Obama did do was make a wise choice concerning governance, not campaigning success. Obama's choice of Biden ensures he has the right partner to run the country should he win the presidency. McCain went the campaign route, which let me down.

I can't help it, I want my 2000 McCain back. Unfortunately, he's been lost forever. I should have accepted it in 2000.

No way the clintons would join mccain they have more sense than that.

You give people too much credit. Now the race will come down too, how much do they dislike obama. I dont see McCain surviving his entire campaing, which means there is a 90% chance, this woman will be running the country.

Someone described Palin as a old fashioned hillbilly wife and honestly the little she said makes me feel this way.

She is quite ignorant and really no shocker Mccain would pick such a person

look at some of her views

Abortion - In 2002, while running for lieutenant governor, Palin called herself as "pro-life as any candidate can be."[39] She opposes abortion for rape and incest victims, supporting it only in cases where the mother's life is in danger,[105] and suggested that requiring parental consent for abortions be added to Alaska's constitution.[106] Palin does support contraception, and is a member of Feminists for Life.[39][107]

ANWR drilling - Palin has strongly promoted oil and natural gas resource development in Alaska, including opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling.[49]

Yeeha drill the nature away!!!

Capital Punishment - Palin favors capital punishment. She has stated that: "If the legislature passed a death penalty law, I would sign it. We have a right to know that someone who rapes and murders a child or kills an innocent person in a drive-by shooting will never be able to do that again."[108]

Lets play god

Creationism and Evolution - In a televised debate in 2006, Palin said she supported teaching both creationism and evolution in public schools. She clarified her position the next day, saying that if a debate of alternative views arose in class she would not prohibit its discussion. She added that she would not push the state Board of Education to add creation-based alternatives to the state's required curriculum.[109]

Global Warming - Palin does not believe that global warming is human-caused.[52]

LOL ignorance is priceless but dangerous when an ignorant person is given power

Guns - Palin, a long-time member of the National Rifle Association, strongly supports its interpretation of the Second Amendment as protecting individual rights to bear arms, including handguns. She also supports gun safety education for youth.[110]

More yeehhaaa ride them cowgirl

Marijuana - Palin opposes the legalization of marijuana in Alaska, stating concerns about the message re-legalization would send to her children. She has smoked marijuana in the past.[39]

I did it so i know!!!!

Same-Sex Marriage - Palin opposes same-sex marriage[39] and supported a non-binding referendum for a constitutional amendment to deny state health benefits to same-sex couples.[111] Palin has stated that she supported the 1998 constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.[39]

Sex Education - Palin is a "firm supporter of abstinence-only education in schools" according to CNN in 2006.[112] When running for governor in 2006, Palin wrote, "Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support," in response to a questionnaire by the Eagle Forum Alaska.[113][114]

Too bad she was so busy preaching to everyone this and forgot to close her own daughter's legs

Terrorism and Iraq - Palin's foreign policy positions were unclear at the time she was picked as McCain's running mate.[115] Shortly after she became governor in December 2006, the Alaska Business Monthly asked Palin for her views about troop escalations in Iraq. She replied "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place…"[116][117] She has said she supports President Bush's idea of stopping terrorism "by taking the fight to the terrorists".[75][115] Palin has also tied the war to the quest for new energy supplies, saying, "We are a nation at war and in many [ways] the reasons for war are fights over energy sources, which is nonsensical when you consider that domestically we have the supplies ready to go."[118]

At least she is woman enough to know the war is about oil

Wildlife conservation - Palin opposed federal listing of the polar bear as an endangered species on the grounds that the "population has dramatically increased over 30 years as a result of conservation,"[119] and supported a controversial predator-control program involving aerial hunting of wolves to increase moose populations for hunters.[120
 

Aerial hunting of wolves?Too much petrol to burn i see in alaska.And maybe she needs to learn that because a population of polar bears increases in a short term is no grounds to just remove them from the list .

She is pro-life and practices what she preaches.  She could of had an abortion for her youngest (Down Syndrome) but felt that it was wrong.  She believes that in all cases that life isn't threatened then Adoption is a better choice.  Plus she supports contraception which is moderate compared to some Pro-life people.  (Catholics believe that it is wrong to use contracpetion)

ANWR drilling - Palin has strongly promoted oil and natural gas resource development in Alaska, including opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling.[49]

Yeeha drill the nature away!!!

Oh Just like the pipe line destroyed Nature right?  Oh wait the Wildlife there is doing better and has increased in size because the pipeline provides shelter and warmth for the Animals. 

Capital Punishment - Palin favors capital punishment. She has stated that: "If the legislature passed a death penalty law, I would sign it. We have a right to know that someone who rapes and murders a child or kills an innocent person in a drive-by shooting will never be able to do that again."[108]

Obama Supported the Death Penalty as well.  He thought that the Lousiana Law that was struct down by the Supreme Court was the wrong choice. 

Creationism and Evolution - In a televised debate in 2006, Palin said she supported teaching both creationism and evolution in public schools. She clarified her position the next day, saying that if a debate of alternative views arose in class she would not prohibit its discussion. She added that she would not push the state Board of Education to add creation-based alternatives to the state's required curriculum.[109]

Both Creationism and Evolution is Theory.  Both should be taught as a Theory since neither is proven.  Any scientist (who isn't biased) will tell you that neither is even remotely proven.

Global Warming - Palin does not believe that global warming is human-caused.[52]

LOL ignorance is priceless but dangerous when an ignorant person is given power

Just like the Creationism Evolution debate.  Man-made global warming is a theory.  It isn't proven.  If you look at the Ice Core Data it shows that for Hundreds of Thousands of years our country has been warming and cooling in cycles.  Heck the Ice Core Data shows CO2 levels just as high as they are now Hundreds of Thousands of years ago.  How can that be? 

Guns - Palin, a long-time member of the National Rifle Association, strongly supports its interpretation of the Second Amendment as protecting individual rights to bear arms, including handguns. She also supports gun safety education for youth.[110]

More yeehhaaa ride them cowgirl

So she supports a Consistutionally Protected right.  Oh no how can that be? 

Marijuana - Palin opposes the legalization of marijuana in Alaska, stating concerns about the message re-legalization would send to her children. She has smoked marijuana in the past.[39]

I did it so i know!!!!

At least she admits it.  Unlike Clinton's "I didn't inhale" crap. 

Same-Sex Marriage - Palin opposes same-sex marriage[39] and supported a non-binding referendum for a constitutional amendment to deny state health benefits to same-sex couples.[111] Palin has stated that she supported the 1998 constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.[39]

This is an issue that I feel she is wrong on.  Marriage should not be a FEDERAL issue at all.  It should be decided at the State level by State Governments and it should be decided by Legislators not the Court System. 

Sex Education - Palin is a "firm supporter of abstinence-only education in schools" according to CNN in 2006.[112] When running for governor in 2006, Palin wrote, "Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support," in response to a questionnaire by the Eagle Forum Alaska.[113][114]

Too bad she was so busy preaching to everyone this and forgot to close her own daughter's legs

Abstinence only education and not supporting Explicit sex-ed doesn't mean they teach your penis is going to fall off.  She supports contraception which means she obviously supports the Birth Control Pill and Condoms. 

Abstinence is the only 100% method of not getting pregnant and not getting an STD.  Sorry but I think it should be taught as the top method to Children to not get diseases. 

Terrorism and Iraq - Palin's foreign policy positions were unclear at the time she was picked as McCain's running mate.[115] Shortly after she became governor in December 2006, the Alaska Business Monthly asked Palin for her views about troop escalations in Iraq. She replied "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq.

At least she is woman enough to know the war is about oil

She knows that taking the fight to them is a lot better then fighting them here. 

Wildlife conservation - Palin opposed federal listing of the polar bear as an endangered species on the grounds that the "population has dramatically increased over 30 years as a result of conservation,"[119] and supported a controversial predator-control program involving aerial hunting of wolves to increase moose populations for hunters.[120
 

Aerial hunting of wolves?Too much petrol to burn i see in alaska.And maybe she needs to learn that because a population of polar bears increases in a short term is no grounds to just remove them from the list .

Actually it is a reason to remove them from the list.  Same thing for Bald Eagles and other species.  When the Population increases (30 years is not short term either) to a specific point then you take them off of the list.  That is how it works.

Yes it is a damn shame when people ignore the difference between a SCIENTIFIC THEORY (Such as Evolution, Man-made Global Warming, Creationism, etc) with a SCIENTIFIC FACT (Such as Gravity, Sun centric Galaxy, Earth being Round, etc). 

Global Warming is a FACT.

Man Made Global Warming is a Theory.  It is a Scientific Theory (which is better then just some crackpot idea) but it is still just a Theory.

How more clear can it be? 

You can add another scary view to your list:

Sarah and her husband support the Alaskan Independence Party.  If you don't know what that is, it's a political group that advocates secession of Alaska from America.

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/todd_palin_was_registered_memb.php

Here's a video of her praising AIP as Govenor:

http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/09/the_alaska_independence_party.php

So let me see. The Republican Party has a theme: "Nation First" and here we have a VP candidate that supports "Alaska First" (AIP slogan).

I'm starting to feel sorry for Republicans.  I mean, now you have to sacrifice what precious little political dignity and political self-worth you have left to defend this crap. No doubt you will (just as soon as the talking points are delivered to your email address by  Rove).

She was never a member of the AIP.  That is proven by voting registration, etc.  Plus the President of the AIP stated that she (and her husband) was never a member.  She did attend and praise them at a meeting stating that having competition in Politics is a good thing. 

If she had said that the Democratic Party was a good thing would you claim she was a Democrat? 

What a bunch of BS.  This is just as bad as the "oh it wasn't her kid but her daughter's crap" that the liberal blogs were trying to pass off with 2 year old pictures (even though the child is 5 months old). 

It is just plain Pathetic.

Oh, it is truthful.  There are several sources within AIP, ON RECORD, as having seen the Palin's at various conventions, notably the 1994 convention.  It is documented FACT that Mr Palin was a member of the AIP for 10 years, and involved in the movement extensively.

As for the video, the problem is, as you point out, that she DIDN'T  provide the Democratic conventions the same sort of video endorsement....hmmm that's fishy, isn't it?  No.  She creates a video endorsing the aims of the AIP, and offers warm wishes for their future ventures (presumably the group's desire to seccede from  America). Fantastic. 

But hey, we all know that Facts have a Liberal bias, and should be ignored.

Cabe, Let the left get it all out of their system.  I am waiting for DKOS to come out with more inflamitory stuff to steer more people to McCain/Palin. Colmes sure has sank in my view also. Man, to think I was defending him just last week. The left has totally ignored Obamas criminal/racist/chicago machine connections. This stuff shows they are coming UNHINGED.

If Alaska so deems it necessary to secede, they have the constitutional right to

And here are a few more scary connections. Turns out Palin is a Dominionist in the Pentacostal Church.

http://dogemperor.newsvine.com/_news/2008/09/02/1817283-new-revelations-re-stealth-dominionist-sarah-palin

Essentially, the Dominionists wish to 'hurry along' Armageddon so that the Rapture happens soon. 

The above poster is partially correct that some Democratic supporters appear to have come 'unhinged.' Perhaps it's because we're trying to save this country that we love from the recklessness of certain elements of the Republican party.  I say certain elements because there are still decent, honorable Republicans out there. Several of my good friends are such Republicans -- in fact, I'd vote FOR them if I had an honest chance. 

But hey, if McCain had truly vetted his VP choice, then the media and public wouldn't have to do his job for him now.

QFT.

Oh Em Gee!!!

If she becomes our vicepresident then I've lost all hope for this country. Seriously. But I really think she won't be our vicepresident. So that's good.

I have to agree with you. She is freaking scary and it would further ruin this country to have her elected.

If Obama wins then I have lost all hope for this country.  We might as well ask Russia if we can be part of their new Soviet Union.

She truely is scary.

I'll tell you what's scarey about these conferences from a foreign perspective.

All these people wildly cheering uncontrollably as someone on a podium cries "Godbless America" or "Godbless American soldiers". And everybody there waves their flags and screams.

Amd then someone slese gets up there and says "God Bless America" and the mass hysteria ensues again. (And they can go on and on like this for days. Lol).

Each time they do that God Bless America. God Bless American Troops, and the entire crowd starts crying and screaming and jumping up and down with their flags in the air, I am uncontrollably reminded of Birchesgarden.

It's scarey.

That woman has an 80% approval rating in her own state. The highest in American History by lots. She's on a par with the great communist leaders and dictators. She must be doing something right, if she's that in tune with her home crowd. If nothing else she is intresting.
