I should have prefaced my comments with I can see she is a tough lady, but where is the experience? The word going around in my mind is arm candy and I am not trying to be derogatory here but I think this choice is way out in "right" field

Well, the trophy wife is looking worse for wear. There could be an eye candy angle.

Disclaimer: This is not my opinion (yet) but that of a client who just stopped by.

Obama/Biden - The youthful pretty face that can talk about change, backed up by someone who's been around the block a time or two and has the scalps to prove it.

McCain/Palin - The old warhorse who knows his was around the issues and the system backed up by someone who can talk about new ideas and is all about the change.

Eh, I say show me some ideas and let me decide.

I didn't really mean to single Obama out in that statement. I meant to single out Obama, McCain, and Biden. She is not a D.C. insider. She is home grown, raised, and has worked in Alaska on the land. For that alone I give her two thumbs up. And on top of that the VP choice for either Obama or McCain is very important, in case neither of them makes it through their term.

She does a lot to reinforce his, now shaky, maverick label.

How's that?

She really is an outsider.

Everyone was waiting for one of the easy picks to shore up the republican base instead he picks a woman no one has heard of. No whispers, nothing. Also her past looks a bit renegade, her move into the govenor's mansion isn't exactly the normal get your name known kiss some ass long term movement.

From everything I have read she has a kick ass and take no names, "let God sort em out" approach. I like it.

I like it in the Wiki picture. Not in the one in this thread. She looks.... frosted.
Unless I'm nmissing something she is married to a minority.
I see nothing about her ethnicity in anything I've read.

From my personal political point of view she sounds like a nightmare. But then I'd never vote Republican so that answers that one. I say Help not Hinder - bold move and I'm sure it will pay off for him.

anyone who isn't a white guy gets to call themselves a minority in the US, Sundae.

I hope some of you can see the live broadcast of the new candidate's speech. She seems pretty close to saying is this thing on? She also bears a striking resemblance to Tina Fey. I find this to be the strangest choice since Dan Quail.

omfg...did you have to bring up Quayle? :shudders:

;)

That's it - I'm moving!

could be. of course, we wouldn't even remember who dan quaylewas if he hadn't spent 4 years in the white house. who was the democrat VP choice that year? just a thought.
