I had heard her name mentioned a few times as an outside chance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_PalinShe was born in Idaho and moved to Alaska as an infant. Her husband is an Eskimo. I am sure she will be pro drilling in ANWR. I wonder where she stands on the Pebbel mine issue.

She's ultra-conservative...any of the women that vote for her were already going to vote for McCain anyway, so I don't think she has the crossover pull that Hutchison would have had...
They're already calling her a "maverick", too...but she's more of a "I think I'll just call myself a maverick" than an actual maverick, just like McSame...against pro-choice, member of the NRA, fundamentalist Christian, loves Big Oil*, etc., etc.,...
*She earned her "maverick" title by going up against Big Oil on one thing, once.
I was thinking that McCain would be aiming at Hillary voters, but I think he went completely the other way and is appealling to the RWWJ base by selecting one of them as his running mate.
He did add the "If you want to vote for an historic event, now you can do it by voting for me, too"...I don't know how much that is worth.
Fish on...

Turning down the bridge to nowhere......
Running against Murkowski and winning, taking on corruption in the state. Firing people who dont tow the line.

She might want to start with corruption in her own portfolio...she's the first VP nominate to be under an active investigation for corruption and ethical violations.
McSame took a big risk on that point by tapping her for VP...I suspect, though, that this will only help her chances with her own investigation...Alaska would, of course, love to have someone in the White House.
"Firing people who don't tow the line" is not necessarily a good thing, depending on what that line is...firing people who don't cotton to her petty personal squabbles is about as corrupt as it gets.
LB, I used to think you were the reincarnation of this toolish figure known as eastsidedrifter, but then there were times when you started sounding smarter than him...but honestly, that wasn't exactly a high bar to surpass.
Lately, however, your incessant petty whining coupled with weird perspectives and a fundamental misunderstanding of some very basic tenets of a myriad of subjects makes me think that you might be someone else.
You're not really Rory, are you?

Is it true that the baby was raised in a Madrassa in Pakistan? Was the baby baptized with a Koran?
Cool down, Sal...it's only a question, after all...I mean, where's the dad blamed liberal media? Why aren't they reporting on this important story, and especially these important questions?

P.S. KK...are you sure you're not the anti-Christ?
It's just a question!

What if the 16 year old's boyfriend just turned 72 a few days ago? That's a combined age of 88...and that's a lot of years. I mean...I'm just asking...hypotheically
