Hell that the only reason I will vote for McCain!
She a breath of fresh air. She has made, Alaska* a better place to live for the people. What I like to see, is for your paper to go after the crap that goes on in Raleigh, like you have went after her! No chance!
This comes from folks that live in Alaska!
Yes if I could get tickets, I be there!

Why waste the gas at a time when we need to conserve fuel.

I might invite her to one of my parties, because
she'd make sure there was plenty to laugh about. But take her seriously? Are you kidding? My 5-year old has better judgment about who she's friends with and how she behaves in public. Palin has bad manners--a sign of bad upbringing. She is rootless...she moved around all over the north till she found a place where they'll take anybody. She believes that Alaska has a right to secede from the union. If we couldn't do that in the past, I don't know why an Alaskan governor can pal around with people who are working to leave the US. That is not patriotic. She does not love my country. She changes religions like some people change winter coats.
And she doesn't think its patriotic to pay taxes? Who pays her salary??! How does the country run? I don't want to pay any more than I have to, but it's my duty as an American to support my country, the best one in the world. I am proud to be American but I am ashamed the world is seeing Palin as the best we could do. Because she's not the best we could do. McCain is just tired of Cindy, the way he got tired of his last wife. I'm sorry, I'm not sacrificing my beloved country for an old man's friskiness. And what the heck does she know about the economy? Oh right, nobody should pay taxes. Smart girl. She should stick to the beauty pagents. Even Alaskans don't like her.l

I think what many folks are missing, is the train wreck factor. It's horrible and a tragedy, but you annot look away. I know of several folks who don't support McCain/Palin but are going to go to see the "show" and see if her supporters here are as hateful and biggoted as they are in other states.

People say they are voting for McCain
because of Sarah Palin?
Hello...is she the one at the top of the ticket?
despite what people say she has done in
Alaska, She was just used to get votes
and as VP she would be a puppet to
carry out the same agendas that have
been put in place the last 8 years. Lets
not talk about her lack of experience to be
president should something happen to McCain
People say well Obama doesnt have enough
experience so whats your point? The point is
Obama has had more RELEVANT experience
than Sarah Palin has. Obama has been in the state senate for over a decade and then the US senate for four years. just 2 years ago Palin was mayor of a little town and she worked in a town hall that looks like a bait shop in southeast Lousiana. But the bottom lin is that Sarah Palin is the carrot at the end of the stick and you know the rabbit never gets th carrot. But im not worried because Obama will be the next president of the United States :)

Sarah Palin is the only reason I'm going to be able to pull the lever for John McCain. She's a true conservative who believes in democracy and capitalism. People can rail against capitalism all they want, but it's what has made America great! Socialism will destroy our great country. Socialism and communism sound great in theory but have NEVER been successfully implemented. Like it our not, capitalism is the closest thing around for giving the most people the best shot at success and happiness. People who feel a sense of entitlement are not truly happy people. I've seen this with my own eyes. Go Sarah!

GOVERNOR PALIN IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR WHO OFFERS US A CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. SHE HAS MORE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE THAN ANY CANDIDATE.
JOHN McCAIN SHOWED GOOD JUDGMENT IN CHOOSING GOVERNOR PALIN AS HIS VP.
JUNIOR SENATOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS A ZERO --- HE HAS FOUGHT TO BE PRESIDENT AND HAVE HIS OWN WAY!
SENATOR JOHN SIDNEY McCAIN IS A HERO --- HE HAS FOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY FOR MOST OF HIS ADULT LIFE!
I'M VOTING FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN McCAIN IN NOVEMBER.
EXPERIENCE DOES MATTER.

Gov. Palin, to her credit, is popular with her constituents and has energized the right wing of the Republican Party. She speaks effectively from prepared speeches, particularly.
She, however, appeals also to the worst instincts of American anti-educational excellence. Despite her protestations, the sort of math and sceince learning or country desperately need are anathema to the gut-check style of politics she practices. Obama and Biden (although Joe has his moments of silliness) represent a far more calm evaluation of evidence and ability to make judgements based on sound reason.
Capitalism has its limits, as we are seeing in the current and unfortunately long-into-the future debacles on Wall Street and the banks. Gov. Palin was all for big government spending as Alaska garnered among the most per capita dollars of any state, while also having one of the highest median incomes. She wants her independence to make big bucks, be earmarked for big bucks and kill those big bucks! Or bully mooses, whatever... (Teddy Roosevelt, replete with spectacles).

1925,
Are you serious?? More executive experience?? She was on the city council of her hometown of Nowhere, Alaska and then mayor of the same; she was defeated in a run for Leutinant Governor and then after working for an Alaska Oil Comission, she spent less than 2 years as Governor. Palin may seem like a breath of fresh air, but that’s only because she is the farthest thing our country has seen from a viable candidate in recent history. She's more like a breath of fresh laughing gas.
