SWOOSH!!!!
by sigmond

Hear that? That's the sound of the wind getting sucked out of Obama's post conventions sails!

Just as the PUMA's were ready to throw in the towel and join in! HA!

A Gen Xer with accomplishments out the wazoo who never had to plagerize one word of her beauty pagent speech.

Who stands for CHANGE now?

The Dems could have been nicer to Hillary, and in the end this will cost them. Obama only won 2 states after Rev. Wrong, just remember that.

Oh yes, her beauty pageant speech! I'm breathless just thinking of that. Experience that has long been missing in Washington.

I think I just stepped into the wrong intra-dimensional portal. Today has been like bizarro world to me. "accomplishments out the wazoo"? like... um... aah...

Do we know if this lady can even place Iraq on a map? Can she even place Missouri on a map? I think I'm going to try to wake up now

Two Words--Politically Desperate.

I can just hear the McCain advisors telling him "Hey we got a toofer John. She has ovaries so we get those 18 million HRC votes and she is a vehemently anti right to legal abortion so we get the religious nutties.

As if Hillary supporters care more about the sex of the candidate than the agenda. Could he have insulted Hillary supporters more?

Oh, look at who's crying about lack of accomplishments and experience now! HA!

They just turned the whole thing on it's ear, you've got nothing.

Governor Palin has challenged the influence of the big oil companies while fighting for the development of new energy resources. She leads a state that matters to every one of us – Alaska has significant energy resources and she has been a leader in the fight to make America energy independent.

In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars.

As the head of Alaska’s National Guard and as the mother of a soldier herself, Governor Palin understands what it takes to lead our nation and she understands the importance of supporting our troops.

Governor Palin has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of. Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today

About as impressive as Obama. And she's a mother.

Looks like you're the one sucked in. Sorry Sigmond, women voters are not as foolish as you think they are. And the PUMAs are inconsequential.

"Could he have insulted Hillary supporters more?"

Could Obama have insulted the Clintons more? After all that they had done for the African American community to boot.

And Biden? Are you kidding? Picking the guy who: a) said that you yourself are too inexperienced to be president b)said that we should give $200 mil to Iran after 9-11 c) bla bla bla...

It just show's how poor Obama's judgement really it.

This is a risky pick by McCain. A pro-life conservative woman with what "accomplishments out the wazoo"? I heard PTA member, city council member and 1 1/2 years as Gov. of Alaska? And Obama is an empty suit? You guys are dreaming.

If anything this should take the experience factor right off the table. Not good for McCain. Also, pitting her against Biden in a debate about foriegn policy will not show her best side and if Biden appears to beat up on her they couldn't very well play the gender card, especially if they're trying to show that women are ready for the job. To say nothing of the fact that this is a transparent attempt to go after the PUMAS. Picking this woman is also a slap at all the other powerful women in the GOP how have worked hard all their lives within the party only to see them passed over for a "hockey mom."

go figure.

She's not going to be against Biden in "a debate about foreign policy," she's going to be against him in a debate - and the idea that Barack "Community Organizer" Obama is trying to make an issue out of her life experience is ridiculous.

Today is the day McCain went from certain loser to probable winner, and history will reflect that.

Re: SWOOSH!!!!

Sigmond.

Was there a GOP VP contender you didn't like? I feel like if McCain would have picked someone who I thought was a good choice than I would have admitted as much, so I guess I'm wondering who you didn't like if she was so great. Sorry I just don't think being head of the Alaskan National Guard or whatever is all that impressive.

What McCain might have (hypothetically) gained among women will be more than made up for by older men who are terrified when thinking of Palin being behind the button.

And she sounds Canadian. Let's see those birth certificates!!! (just kidding)

"And to all the ladies, what has the Democratic party done for you lately? Shoved a cigar somewhere it wasn't supposed to go?"

First of all, democrats and republicans both have their share of womanizers-try to use Clinton (Bill) as an an example of woman being shafted and plenty of examples of right wing cheaters can be found-game/set match.

Now what have Republicans done for women?

Roe V Wade a target?

No bill to guaranty a woman must be paid the same as a man for the same work or job?

She is George W Bush with ovaries and breasts.

Next point from the right?
