McCain looks like he's having second thoughts. Can you see Palin as our President? I'm having a hard time with that.

Looking at her track record in Alaska, I can see it much more easily than Obama
- Kevin A. Pierpont
If you are voting on experience your Obama rose-colored glasses must be on full BLIND mode if you want to play the experience issue. Go ahead and walk into that Republican trap--that's a debate the GOP would love to have.
- Andrew Leyden
Yes I can see it, she's done some great things as a governor, which is always better experience than being in the Senate.
- Zach Underwood
I find the choice laughable. Picking a VP that is currently under investigation is a blunder... http://www.ktva.com/ci_1002...
- Sidney
I agree, if you look at her track record she is a better choice for chief executive. . .
- Greer Trice
She supports creationism - unbelievable
- Dave Hodson
I can't imagine a luddite leading the US in the 21st century.

I thought it was a clever move when I heard the news. But now that I heard her speak, I am not so sure.
- Dorai
She is very beautiful...maybe too beautiful?
- Cory Brown
Change? A person who's been in the senate longer than John McCain, or a person who's actually made changes as Governor?
- Richard
I'd love to have a beautiful president! One who was also a champion for progress, science and technology.
- Internet's Tad
@Richard but the change won't come from the VP seat...
- Sidney
Was she Miss Alaska or something one time? As a woman, I want someone who is smart, articulate and understands science and technology, not pretty looking. Puh-leaze!

Michele Obama will bring some hotness to the White House.

@aka Taylor I agree with your statement, but the democrats made such a big deal about VP Cheney, they can't go back now and say the VP seat is no big deal.
- Richard
Andrew: you want a trap? Wait for the Biden-Palin debate. Ouch.
- Rod Bauer
from twhirl
Wow, have you seen the aftermath of the DNC in Denver? All the trash left behind by the environmentally friendly party?
- Richard
Pro-life. Creationist. McCain does love the right wing.
- Russellreno
I saw his buyer's remorse screaming:)
- Roney Smith
@Richard the point being the direction of the administration comes from the President not the VP. The VP can lend experience and does play a major role in the administration but to say the VP is going to make the change that is needed when the Presidential canidate is the farthest thing from change is pretty rose colored glasses..
- Sidney
the most conservative of Christians seem okay with his choice so far: http://rr-bb.com/showpos...
- Frederic
He did look uncomfortable about it. I thought it was just me
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Just a factual question--at about what point did he look uncomfortable (I was listening not watching and want to see for myself). Kind of curious now.
- Andrew Leyden
How does McCain differentiate himself from Bush and the last 8 years of misery to dissaffected moderates now?
- Sally Church
@Rod Bauer Good point. The trap is also for Biden. He has more to lose, especially if he puts his foot in his mouth.
- Andrew Leyden
Leo - There's nothing left to talk about. McCain has hit a home run and just sewed up the HRC voters that BO took a crap on by not even vetting her. Just out of spite, McCain just got a large number of HRC supporters on board who are resentful of BO.
- Alberto Lopez
@Alberto hahahahahhahah.... That's hilarious.
- jakebf
As my friend said, Palin might get the Hillary women who read Redbook and watch HGTV, but the Ms. readers might not jump ship. Wonder if that will be enough?
- Andrew Leyden
McCain didn't add any HRC supporters who can think for themselves.
- Internet's Tad
So when we hit reply by twitter it goes to Leo or the person who had a twitter in the comment? Sorry to pound Leo's twitter account if the first is what happens.
- Andrew Leyden
Tad++, he just got the irrational ones who would probably vote against Obama anyway because they are bitter about HRC being out of it.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
If Geena Davis can do it...
- Andrew Feinberg
Jake and Tad, I wouldn't underestimate the power of this. I know three pretty intelligent age-50+ women who have a smidge of misplaced feminism that forces them to consistently make choices based on gender over issue (and openly lambaste younger women who don't automatically side with women on the issue of the day). All backed Hill and are tepid to Obama, and I can see all three of them having an extremely hard time voting AGAINST a woman in November out of some kinda feminist guilt.
- Kevin Hessel
My first thought upon hearing: Who the fuck is she? And second thought: He really doesn't think he's going to win, does he?
- Rick Powell
@Andrew - A friend mentioned just that thing this morning.

@rick - LOL

An unknown, inexperienced "hockey mom"? Yeah, that's what we need.
- Todd
the dems could not have asked for a better gift than palin, talk about lobbing a softball
- adolfo foronda
i had no idea how diverse the twit army was. there really are a couple twits here.
- todd
People are underestimating Gov. Palin. Also, for a party that is looking for change and a fresh voice in Washington, how easily they write off what will be a fresh voice in Washington.
- Jim Bednarz
Sorry, but this choice is only about marketing. It's not about governing. (I stole that.)
- Rick Powell
i think this qualifies as a time i can say f$@k on twitter. i fell asleep with macbook and it fell down and... http://flickr.com/photos...
Major bummer!
