Palin has more executive leadership experience that any other other three on the tickets. That means she was paid to make decisions…final decisions….not just vote with hundreds of other people and avoid responsibility.

She may not be the quickest on her feet and may have some gaps in her knowledge like when it comes to global politics but she has a gut instinct that has served her well.

Hey Randy, a lot of time has been spent talking about Palin and what a “joke” she is a VP candidate. Where are these same people when it comes to the Senate candidacy of one Al Franken. Good grief. Last time I saw he was actually ahead in the polls. His opponent Norm Coleman is hardly a right wing loon. The words Senator Al Franken quite frankly alarm me. I don’t know whether to cry or laugh at that prospect.

McCain seems to have accepted campaign donations exceeding federal election law limits from over 6,000 donors.

Isn’t this the guy who brought us campaign finance reform? Wow! What a maverick!

My feeling is that her need to slip the collar and run around is more about her believing in her own hype. She unfortunately has nothing of substance to add to the conversation and simply regurgitates the fodder she’s been fed by the Republican party and the extreme right wing media. This is a lady who has delusions of grandeur, completely unable to see that she doesn’t have the support of the party behind her and that the general option across America is that she was a fatal choice of VP.

Palin is out of her league and out of her depth. She’ll do well with a TV show perhaps but memories are long and she will not have much of a future in mainstream politics. She’s upset too many people and has earned the reputation of being a self-centred diva even among her own people.

Expect a campaign to recall her when she returns to Wasilla.

It’ll be interesting to see how Alaska treats Palin after this election. Will they call her on her lies? Will they still value her for being a “maverick?” Will the state be better off in 4 years with her as governor?

Since she’s “just like us”, will ANY of her kids graduate from high school?

Good article. Let’s look at it this way. Let’s assume that the Republicans know they are going to lose. They wont admit it publicly, but they know. And not only the race for President, but many many of the house and senate seats also. Knowing this big change is coming, they also have recognized that the party is “old”. Sure there is some young blood in the party, but no one nationally knows it. So this entire election is a “changing of the old guard.” Once it is over you will see an entire new YOUNGER generation of Republican politicians jammed down our throats to create the new power base of the party. Palin is just one of the first. We all know that with her wacky views she will not go far, but that was never the point in my opinion. This is just the crack in the dam of an entire new generation of Republicans that will take center stage for the party. Palin is a good first one because with her radical and controversial views, everyone after her will look…..well sane.
