McCain and Palin 2008
Either way, this election goes, it will be revolutionary. I, for one, am very excited about McCain's pick for VP. I had a gut feeling a few days ago he'd pick a female.
What are your thoughts? Does this affect your decision if you're a Democrat? Does it give you the incentive to get out and vote if you're Republican?

McCain's record stands for itself...although he's not the most exciting guy...he's smart and steady. I'd rather have that than flashy and mouthy any day. Which would make more level headed decisions in the heat of the moment? I also think, as yesterday's choice for VP came into play, he's smarter than a lot of people give him credit.
I was surprised at McCain's pick for VP. I'm very conservative too and not thrilled about either candidate. I like Sarah Palin, what I know so far anyway. One of my concerns is that conservative women might not like the idea of her being Veep with such young children still at home.
Dear Friend,
I'm honored and humbled to join this historic campaign as John McCain's running mate. I feel privileged to join a man I admire and the man I know is ready to lead our country as the next president.
Join the McCain - Palin Team Today! Some of life's greatest opportunities come unexpectedly, and this is certainly the case for me. I never set out to run for office. But life has taken me on a course that first led to the Alaska Governor's office and now the country's first female Republican vice presidential candidate.
I want you to know that John McCain and I will challenge the status quo in Washington. We're ready to address our nation's great challenges - from reducing our dependence on foreign oil to cutting wasteful spending and creating good jobs for Americans. I look forward to working with him to achieve every goal he has set out during this campaign to improve the lives of all Americans.
As the mother of a son serving in the U.S. Army and the commander of Alaska's National Guard, there is no doubt in my mind that John McCain is prepared to serve as our next Commander in Chief.
What I admire most about John McCain is his unwavering ability to put our country first and to ask for nothing in return for his decades of service. He's shown his resolve, toughness and strength of heart in the darkest of places; all in service to his country. This speaks volumes about the type of selfless leadership John McCain will bring to the White House.
Our team is ready to lead the country as the next President and Vice President of the United States. We're ready to win in November and we won't be able to do it without your support. If you want change in Washington, then John McCain and I are asking for your support. Please join our team today!
Sincerely,
Governor Sarah Palin
Someone also said that he is the lesser of two evils I couldn't agree more. God help this country as we continue to put women in leadership. We are doing a great diservice and hopefully we as women will eventually see that Gods did not design it to be this way.
I think both candidates have good words on what they say they're planning to do....it just boils down to experience to me. McCain has proven his experience.
Obama to be honest scares me a little with things like, 'We're no longer a Christian nation' or 'I hold close to my mother's values'...who is an athiest. And the fact that he isn't really tied with his radical American hating preacher, but has been close friends with him for most of his adult life. Something here is off to me.
Now I know I'll get some heated comments for leaving that on here, but someone's religious background does mean something to me. I would be open to voting for Obama if his religious ties weren't sketchy.
They knew they were thrusting this child into the public and they did it anyway.
I think that they chose Sarah Palin in part because of her son Trig and her daughter’s pregnancy. I think this is part of the campaign strategy. They are making them the poster family for anti-choice rhetoric. Look — they have right there in their family two of the pro-choice arguments in Trig’s presence and Bristol’s decision to marry her boyfriend and raise the baby. I’m glad the women both had choices. Contrary to popular belief, the pro-choice mindset isn’t that every “imperfect” pregnancy is a failure but that every woman has a right to consider her options and make the decision that best suits her values and her circumstances.
I completely understand what you're saying though...
This whole thing is interesting.
