I just never thought I'd hear a vice presidential candidate say the person she looks up to most in life is "my husband, Todd."
I don't know why that sounded so weird. Maybe if his name was John or something. But Todd?

Anyone looking into her being from Sandpoint, Idaho one of the most Aryan, neo nazi places in the country? She may have a much more "colorful" background then we've been told. Or maybe that is the idea. To appeal to the racists they want voting for McCain.

From what I've read, she was born there but her parents moved to Alaska when she was just a few months old (or maybe a year old). So I doubt there is much there...
We can only hope though...

This dirty old man choice is a good way to question McCain's judgement. Clinton may have gotten blowjobs, but he didn't give Lewinski a position in govt. She has viritually nothing to offer him experiencewise which is what he has been running against Obama on and if he dies which is and EXTREME possibility his pretty little bear hunter will be running the country. It's just bad judgement.

Susan Palin is a far, far cry from Hillary Clinton and it's embarrassing to see such an obvious sexist attempt to attract women voters. Does McCain think that the women in America are going to be satisfied with just any woman in the VP slot?

You know, the good thing is this. We've had Obama scrutinized for 2 years now, nothing there worth mentioning, and Biden has been in Senate, reelected year after year with nothing there worth mentioning.
We already know about McCain and what's there (and it's alot) and you KNOW that the rocks are being overturned as we speak about Palin. I'm hoping there is some really good stuff to be turned up over the next few weeks...
Wow, just now went back and found this link you posted and went to it. Seems she's got a LOT of crap ready to come out. Bring it on!!!

The more this VP sits with me, the more I'm astounded by it. I realize that everyone on TV is trying to be open-minded and positive about this choice, but this pick is a disaster.
This woman -- who doesn't know what her role will be as VP and doesn't think about the war in Iraq -- is a heartbeat away from being our president (i.e. a 72+ year old potential president).
I honestly can't wait until everyone gets a chance to digest this pick. It's wonderfully horrible. :)

For those who are bitching about the clip being cut so that her quote is out of context (I've seen complaints on a few different sites, now), please spread this around--it's the entire interview, and the "I don't know what the VP does" part is at about 2:50 into the clip.
There. No more complaints. She sounds like even more of a numbskull when you hear her comments in their original context.

I doubt she has ever seen a barracuda except in a picture as they are tropical fish and not seen in Alaskan waters which are far too cold for barracuda.

Governor of a very small state like Alaska is hardly chief executive experience to qualify one for the vice presidency of a nation of 300 million people, the richest nation in the world and control of 10,000 nuclear bombs that could destroy the world many times over. Nor is her resume as a beauty contestant a qualification for the international diplomacy roll that the vice presidency demands. What is she going do when she has to face an angry bullying hostile diplomat from another country. Crying won't work. George Bush was enough humiliation on the international front.

Don't Worry Sarah Palin To Be Dropped From McCain Ticket: The guns on the conviction of the sinner, Senator Barack Obama, are about to be silenced. Sarah Palin has done her job of connecting with the everyday people who will make the difference in the election. She has managed to make the Republicans, the party of, by and for the ruling class, the hope of the people in the margin, the smarter evangelicals who might have voted for Obama, the moms who struggle so hard to raise their kids in this mom unfriendly environment, the moose hunters and those Hillary women who can’t distinguish their bras from their pocketbooks. Palin has also managed to distract us all from the consequences of the hundred billion dollar bank bailout necessitated by the blind greed of Republican mortgage scammers, a grand heist on all who work for a living whose paychecks will be cut in half by the stupendous inflation this will bring about. Stocks, mostly owned by the rich, go up; and the real income of the workers and middle class goes down. This effective transfer of wealth from worker to ruling class is a continuation of the broader capitalist Republican manipulations that have caused worker incomes to drop by 2% in the last decade while those in the top tier went up by 200%. McCain’s conservative handlers have planned from the beginning to have Sarah leave the scene, once her job was finished, along with the baggage of her Trooper-gate conniving and her obvious lack of qualifications for the presidency. We suspect her coming exit to have been intelligently designed from the start in its reeking of our situation down here in Texas where my fundamentalist mother still tries to control me, a 67 year old woman, from the grave by having left me an inheritance totally controlled by my castrated conservative brother, a lawyer who made it clear immediately after my mother’s death that there’s no way I would ever see a penny of the money left me unless I left my evolutionist professor husband of 35 years who rescued me from this moron, child abusing, family I had the misfortune to be born into. And if I know these scheming conservative game players correctly, Palin’s exit will be blamed on something Michelle Obama said about Christmas or some equally absurd and vicious zinger. The communists used to say that the capitalists would sell them the rope they needed to hang them. This has proved to be unnecessary. Instead we have seen our greedy pig ruling class hang themselves with their mortgage scam that backfired, and hang all of us in the process. To highlight their lunatic decadence and stupidity, we note the dribbling remarks of an upper class jerk by the name of Wayne Angel, a retired Fed Board member who owns his own seven homes and blames the economic meltdown on unions demanding more money for the workers! Did we really hear him say that!? Such callousness and the fact that he truly believes it (!) borders on a criminality that calls for the forced feeding of cake to Marie Antoinette’s severed head. This bailout grand theft, soft peddled and hidden by media shills whose employment is at the discretion of said ruling class, the same crew of peppy liars who helped sell the War in Iraq that has been used as an excuse for the taking away of our freedom, fairness and justice in America, must be reversed. The upper class must go! But rather than have the rerun of the French Revolution that these rich pigs so richly deserve, it is much easier to throw them out of power by electing Barack Obama, who, whatever his shortcomings, is a hell of a lot smarter and a hell of a lot more caring than these ruling class wolves and their loathsome surrogate in sheep’s clothing, the truly dippy, smiling lunatic, John McCain, who however he may come off in well edited sound bites on TV, looks in person like he would have trouble finding his way to the men’s room. Don’t be fooled by kindly Uncle John. Be scared on Election Day, scared enough to make sure you go out and vote. Hidden in briefly appearing stories on the net are the new rules for domestic spying and for FBI surveillance and harassment without due cause, also known as, welcome to the police state. The Republicans are as treacherous in their plans for the coming Inquisition as they are in consistently making black out to be white in presidential campaigning. And while we are at it, let’s put the blame for the personal unhappiness and heartache of young people where it belongs to make sure they get out and vote. It’s not hard to understand. First turn off Dr. Phil, a castrated propagandist who has enough money to buy a trophy wife to cover up the fact that his fast talking is as cross wired as his face is goofy. The problem of the breakdown of love and happiness in America is not a mental problem. Rule #1: The ruling class has the power to do whatever they want to do. Rule #2: What they and their managers want to do is screw all the women, which they do in the workplace and in the schools in various ways. Rule #3: If you want to keep your job or get an A on that term paper, honey, pull up your skirt, as happens as often as folks drink coffee in the morning. Rule #4: Every woman comes to know these rules. Rule #5: No woman talks about them. Today’s women are a harem for the ruling class. The owners and bosses and the worst teachers and priests get to toy with the women (and with the kids) while the men who fall in love with the women are DENIED ACCESS, crowded out by the creepy lechers whose taking advantage insults the women and destroys the self respect and emotional integrity necessary for successful courtship and love, with the problem made all the worse with the cockeyed morality spouted on corporate run TV. And men being made obedient fools out of by bosses, also as common as morning coffee, doesn’t improve their attractiveness to women. It’s time for a revolution and electing Obama is the first step. We make the case for what we say, as taboo as these truths are in an America where lies rule by swift condemnation of truth tellers as evil or crazy, on www.matrix-evolutions.com, where we use a compelling scientific argument based on a mathematical understanding of evolution and information.
