McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate
Many readers have written to tell us about McCain's choice of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP choice. "Palin, 44, a self-described 'hockey mom,' is a conservative first-term governor of Alaska with strong anti-abortion views, a record of reform and fiscal conservatism and an outsider's perspective on Washington. [...] If elected, Palin would be the first woman US vice president, adding another historic element to a presidential race that has been filled with firsts. Obama, 47, is the first black nominee of a major US political party. The choice of a vice president rarely has a major impact on the presidential race. Palin will meet Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in a debate in October."
Joe Biden: "Governor Palin, I served with Dan Quayle; Dan Quayle was a friend of mine. Governor, you're no Dan Quayle."

Well she just asked "What exactly does a vice president do?", on CNBC. Um, ok that is scary. This is just a female Dan Quayle that instead of golfing hunts, fishes and wrestles bears. Unfortunately she does none of these things naked.

C'mon, don't be such a downer. We need faith based science to advance our faith based economy!
The Republican ticket is now complete
Yeah, I still couldn't get the voice of Darth Vader out of my head for that.
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
I myself don't want to see McCain in the White House, but if they (McCain/Palin) actually do get elected, I wouldn't mind becoming an intern to Palin in the White House. You know what I am talking about! Yeah Baby!

Skin color and ethnicity should matter in an election
Dr. Freud, I presume.
Because now we'll see a Hot for Vice President site spring up.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!
This is so sexist, vpilf.com doesn't have a single picture of Dick Cheney.
I read the internet for the articles.
Oh, good, then she runs Linux?
Perhaps Biden should look at implants.
He already has. The open question is where they got them from. :-)
Michael Palin will make an excellent vice presidential candidate. Awesome.
Yea, she is pretty hot for her age, definetly a MILF, I'd tap that too if I got the chance. :)
I suppose you mean a VPILF?

Could I mod this (-1, Nauseating)?

But having worked with her, would you vote for her?
I guess that all depends on what "I'd tap her" means...

This is like some sad attempt at political fanfic. Do you have little puppets of them at home that you play with like Lord Helmet?
Not that this is the basis for my vote, but I'd like to point out that Palin was the Gov. of Alaska, one of the states that McCain is older than. Made me smile, at least ; - )
If a sizeable portion of the population holds to an "uninformed" side, then you had better teach that, too. Heck, I try to teach my kids what Democrats think and we have a great discussion about it.
It's probably the timing, like the Sixaxis which came across as me-too-man-ship. In this metaphor Clinton is the Wii and Palin is the Sixaxis. Although I don't recall there being a raging nerd lust for Clinton. And the Wii hasn't been discontinued in favour of the DS. And Palin's not going to be upgraded to rumble hold on, I'll come back in with a car metaphor.
Palin is like the SMART car, y'see, and Clinton is a Hybrid...
No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?
Fine.
Great.
Now show us your tits.
Research shows that 67% of those who use the term "research shows", are just making shit up.
You've got my vote...
Well, McCain could have picked Condoleeza Rice...
(only joking)
No sig for the moment.
Maybe for ten seconds, until they realized that Palin might as well be a fat, prostitute-frequenting Republican for all the care she actually has for women's rights.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Wait. I'm a conservative... I have a girlfriend... What the hell am I doing here?
Your hat fell off. You need to order a new one.
Call her 'North Shores' and I'd drill her.
44 years old middle class (certainly no millionaire) woman mother of 5
I'm really glad they didn't choose a 44 year old middle class man mother of 5...
I heard Hillary's so mean that when it's pitch black, she's likely to eat a grue.
Don't even try to compare this Alaska beauty queen mayor of a town of 6000 with Obama.
Don't EVEN go there.
Let's start talking about McCain's judgement. McCain thinks if he dies, Sarah Palin should be sitting across a negotiations table from Vladimir Putin discussing Georgia.
To be fair, 'decent' would be a huge improvement on any previous VP!
but it looks like she beat out Romney in the swimsuit competition.
