who??

clearly mccain knows his campaign is in serious trouble to pick an unknown former mayor of a town of 6000 people and a lot of snow. McCain wont survive long so this is his choice for president? Is this the best he can do?

Biden versus the snow bunny in the debates. Wow!

Only a candidate that knows he is going to lose would select such an unknown candidate for VP. Its quayle all over again. mccain is so much like the bush crowd he is repeating their mistakes.

Well at least now romney can go back to utah with his magic underwear and not be on the political stage for at least another four years.

Well, I guess we were all duped by McCain: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/palin.republican.vp.candidate/index.html The good thing is, if McCain is elected President of the United States of USrael, and he kicks the bucket the day after his swearing-in, then America will have its first woman president, and she didn't even have to try. The law of least resistance! Now SHE'd be a smart cookie, wouldn't she! A first for DC!

A Democrat's dream. With one fell swoop, McCain has eliminated the "experience issue" from consideration.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Ah Yabits nice to see even you recognizes the serious experience deficit at the top of the Democratic ticket.

Hillary already roughed up Obama about his inexperience and it is this lack of experience that will follow him around until election day. McCain doesn't even need to bring it up.

If the Democrats want to go after Palin about not having enough Washington experience, well I say bring it on, being an outsider is supposed to be a good thing.

The difference in this years election is who wins the women's vote. Oprah and Obama have their work cut out for them now. The Democrats should have put Hillary on the ticket. Another colossal blunder that will cost them another presidential election.

VOR - keep on preachin', babe! McCain just handed the Presidency to Obama by picking what's-'er-name as his VP.

Sarah Palin?! McCain might as well have picked Michael Palin; at least THAT Palin has world experience! xD

Bingo.

LOL!! No, VOR, you would be wrong about that. By putting a neophyte a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, McCain demonstrates that he doesn't really care about experience as an issue. In a year when most American voters think the country is going down the wrong track and that we need change, McCain's posturing on Obama's lack of experience wasn't getting him a bit of traction.

If the Democrats want to go after Palin about not having enough Washington experience...

This is funny. Democrats don't have to go after Palin. Her lack of experience is out there for everyone to see. And now, so is the desperation of the McCain camp.

Funniest thing I've read about this all day was the acronym VPILF
UnagiDon at 09:38 AM JST - 30th August

That's a good one too - hopefully we never make it to VPILF.
DanManjt at 09:49 AM JST - 30th August

Oh, we won't.
VOR at 09:58 AM JST - 30th August

Again Yabits, Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined but you keep making this lack of experience thing an issue. That is exactly the box that Obama and Biden now find themselves in. McCain doesn't even have to bring it up.

Again Yabits, Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined...

LOL!!! I'll try to remember that the next time the Democrats choose someone with as much "experience" as Governor Plain, er.. Palin. Hold on...I do recall that, in 1992, Republicans criticized Bill Clinton's lack of experience -- and he had ten times as much as this gal.

As for Obama, sorry but I'll take someone who has taught constitutional law over a beauty queen who knows how to gut a salmon.

Like I said, if we could only somehow tap into the power of Republican spin, we would solve our energy problems.
DanManjt at 01:20 PM JST - 30th August

Republican spin is powerless.

Better tap their hot air.
yabits at 07:45 PM JST - 30th August

I am not so sure Republican spin is so powerless. It certainly keeps them constantly fooled -- and is the closest thing to perpetual motion to be found on the planet.

I don't know, your frequent and repetive posts come pretty close...
