John MCCain made a historic ,bold.brave, and stupid move with his "Hail Sara" pass. A 'hail Sara' pass is a move of desperation. It has the look of pandering that is very likely to backfire. Hillary voters are generally not right wingers. Mrs Palin is clearly a right winger. She might get few of Hillary's gals, but runs the risk of losing many independents. McCain will ,if elected. be the oldest president to ever assume the office. He has battled cancer twice. Can we really imagine Sara Palin as president of the united states? I can't!!!

What an insult to women. Does Mccain think us Hillary supporters aren't smart enought to realize that this was such a desperate act on his part. Who is this woman? People complained they didn't know enough about Obama even afterr he campaigned for 18 mths. How can we possibly learn enough about Palin in 67 days? No way, No how , No McCain nor Palin.

Not so fast, everybody! I think McCain loves this country too much to allow it be damaged even more. He pursued to win the nomination even though he knows deep down that the country is ready for the new leadership and will go with his opponent. He avoided picking a VP from a bunch of "old regime" hawks (who, god forbid, may end up running the country if he wins). His choice says it all: "I am clearing the road for you, Obama!" But he wants to go in history with grace and courage. He will run this campaign with dignity just to loose to Obama, so America can rebuild. His platform is a joke and just a fake to make more people turn the other way. He is a true hero who is acting in mysterious ways. His choice is his secret code to Americans how to vote this fall. He's got to know something about how to pass secret codes to his buddies. McCain was my choice from day 1 eight years ago. But now we need to move forward and pray Obama/Biden won't let us down.

It is really funny to me about how ignorant some people can be about politics. I am only 19 and will be voting in this next election for the first time, but even I know that the only way for democracy to work is when other people choose their favorite candidate over political policies and not based on appearance, sex, race, or any other petty differences a candidate may have. I know that sometimes political leaders do not always follow their promises, but it doesn’t excuse the fact that many people pick candidates for the wrong reasons. I am now a registered democrat and will be voting for Obama/Palin during the upcoming election (because I actually like their policies and believe them when they tell me something). To all the people who say that they are Hillary Clinton fans (who is very pro-choice) and who are now voting for Sara Palin (very pro-life) just because she is a woman, I have just one question…how ignorant can you be!?!? I mean get real people, I am a big fan of Obama and Biden, but the only way that “change” is really ever going to happen in this country is if people (like those mentioned above) actually take the time to become educated about their candidates and the current problems of the nation.

I can't stop laughing. McCain, you silly, silly man.

What a lot of people don't realize is the fact that both VP picks are exactly the same. Obama had a message of change and then picked a guy who has been in Washington for 37 years. McCain had a message of experience and he picked a woman who has been the governor of Alaska for only two years.

If you're being honest, both Obama and Palin have very little governmental experience... but is that a bad thing for either side?

Experience can be accumulated to increase one's wisdom, but it can also be the sort that only means you repeat the same year of experience for decades without any progress made.

Sometimes the upstarts are the best choices...

When is John McCain and his new running mate actually going to discuss what they plan on doing for this country and how they are going to do it instead of just trying to convince the country to not vote for Barack Obama. I hope that America realizes what John McCain is doing and decides that they are not going to stand for it. Let's elect someone that will actually do something to turn this country around. And yes, I mean Barack Obama.

Throughout this campaign, the McCain folks have tried to paint Obama as dangerously inexperienced, a pretty face, and a smooth speaking celebrity but a person of little substance. Now McCain has chosen for his Vice President a governor who has been on the job less than two years, a former beauty queen with a pretty face and an ease with words, but not much to back it up with. This has the effect of rendering all of McCain's best arguments against Obama useless and easily refutable.

I look forward to the vice presidential debate, but I kind of feel sorry for her. Biden is going to rend her asunder.
