Sarah is a red neck. Her husband works in the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay and races snow mobiles. She is a life-time member of the NRA and has worked tirelessly to allow indiscriminate hunting of wildlife in Alaska, particularly wolves and
bears. Millions of Alaska state dollars have gone to aerial hunting of these predators, dollars that should have been spent on Alaska's failing school system, with the lowest high school graduation rate in USA. A strong supporter of increased use of fossil fuels, yet McCain says she has "green" policies. Green like in her lack of experience! She supports drilling in ANWR, coal-burning power plants, strip mining, and anything to exploit resources of Alaska and its environment.

Prior to her one year as governor of Alaska, she was mayor of Wasilla, a small red-neck town outside Anchorage. The average education of parents of junior high school kids there is tenth grade.

Sarah Palin is involved in a political corruption scandal, firing an individual in law enforcement here because she didn't like how he treated one of her relatives during a divorce.

When you line Palin up with Biden, the comparison is laughable. Sarah Palin knows nothing of economics, like McCain. She has not been exposed to international affairs, national government, Social Security, unemployment, or health care systems. Picture her meeting with heads of foreign governments.

Sarah Palin is uniquely UNqualified to be vice president and John McCain is not a young man. Should something happen to him (if elected), she would have to step in.
Palin is McCain’s cheap shot to get Hillary supporters Yet she compares herself to Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro! If you supported Hillary, don’t consider Sarah Palin a worthy substitute. Choosing her shows how unqualified McCain is to be president.

Conservative have no choice for president and I guess you can live with McCain's poor judgement. Political posturing is inherent in the choice of Palin. But the more serious issue is that she would be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Sarah Palin is totally and unequivocally unqualified to be vice president, let alone president.

St. Paul is hosting a magnificent circus, a dog-and-pony show par excellent. IF I hadn' witnessed it with my own eyes I wouldn't, couldn' believe this was happening–kindergarten politics 101–a complete dumbing down of american politics. I have come to believe there is truth in the words of H.L. Mencken:
“YOU WILL NEVER GO BROKE UNDERESTIMATING THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE”

ALAS–IT SEEMS SO TRUE!!! Bob Haycraft, placentia, california

She said it once; last night , a second time . Lady Sarah refered to McCain, in her first speech and again last night , as "my running mate."

Once may be a glitch. Second time, take it seriously.

"Running mate" is defined by a couple of dictionaries as
" the candidate or nominee for lesser of two asssociated offices."
Or another definition..."a horse in a race setting the pace for the other."

Giddy-up there, John M. You may be losing it quicker than you can say Jesu Christus. Palin did it to her Highway Commissioner at a flick of a pen. Legal? Who needs legal process when you're Annie Oakley?

In this nation lately, nightmare stuff happens.

Have you had your rabies shot lately John M?

Watching the Republican campaign slowly deteriorate in the next few months, could be the most exciting 'hockey' game to watch...
