    I got the story; I agree and disagree at the same time.



    Isn't America great that we can have this conversation?



    Isn't it great that ignorant American's have a say also? (I won't name names, but we can see some of the stupid and ignorant comments).



    This election is about old and inexperience vs inexperience and old.



    Good luck to all of us!!

    I suppose ,Singer that as the saying goes, to each their own.

    I just heard her speech. Well delivered and well crafted, ( they have writers and advisers in charge of that ). However it was full of same old GOP stereotypes and all it did was was to spread once more the fear of everything that is foreign ( or at least foreign in their eyes ), and touch very lightly on the topics she isnt very skilled at and to tie it all then use all these cliches to attract the fan base.



    I dont care for this rethoric. She didnt convince me as someone prepared to handle the country . They arent mavericks , they are going to repeat more of the same . And havent these 8 years been enough ?

    And my idea remains, that she was used , to attract those who still want a woman in the government . GOP eyecandy ? You got it.

    Convincing, no.



    Cast your vote for whomever you choose and good luck with that.

    And so will I.

    I think that what you are trying to say is that the only reason that she was named was that she was a woman???Is that not what you are trying to say???



    And that McCain only named her because he could not stand on his own...For that is what I am reading...

    I think that I have made my point quite clear...She is an inteligent woman that has already proved herself in a major office...and that she should be able to handel this one.

    No, singer, I am not saying what you are maliciously implying.



    I am not saying that at all.





    My story was lost on you.



    Go read someone else´s. You didnt get this one.



    And regarding brains, you are certainly showing very little of that when it comes to get your point across clearly and well informed.

    Yes...And I figure if she has to deal with Russia being a neighbor to her state...Well you must not live in a boarder state...I lived in a boarder county...You do have to learn a great deal about Foreign policy if you are in a boarder state...For what goes on in their nation affects your state...And possibly the nation...Ever hear of U.S. /Mexician Relations...I lived it for over 30 years...



    And let me remind you that the Vice President does very little unless the President dies...But they do have a job to do...So in the case of Vice President yes I feel that she does have more than enough experiance to fulfill this job...



    Are you stating the the only woman that can hold any office is Hillbilly??? What gives...Are all other women stupid or what??? What gives her all of the inteligence in the world to hold office and not others... And why is it that that She was just tying to do what ws right when she wanted the Oval Office...but when McCain wants a woman as a running mate if is just to get the Hillery vote...Do you think that those women are so dump as to just want a person with internal plumbing...Are you saying that these women and some men have no brains???

    Hi Singer 1960, Thanks for your comment. However let me point out that you let yourself get a bit hot headed and either didnt read my story fully , missed the second comment I made or totally missed the point.

    I am not mentioning Obama , if that is a discussion you want to start go to another forum.

    I simply stated that McCain´s camp is trying desperately to attract the Hillary Clinton supporters, mostly female , with this new candidate, as if these two women were interchangeable.

    How insulting is that for women. How demeaning.

    Palin will have to show by her own merits she can handle the responsibilites , and so far neither she nor her supporters have gone beyond republican rambling.



    Did you see the dufus on FOXTV saying she had foreign policy experience because she was up there in Alaska, which is right next door to Russia.? Bet you missed that.



    So Singer, keep your cool, dont let the Republican emotions get to you and read my posts better next time.

    You mean that she does not have a brain in her head...When Hillbilly ran she said she already had experiance as president as she was first lady...You even said it...she was first lady...What in hell does that got to do with it...So at least one night she let some guy diddly her that would later become president...So what...Now...



    How long had Obama been in office???What is his qualifications???Here you are stating that a V.P. Candidate had not enough experiance...When they have more than a Presidential candidate...So come on....Make your point...Are you trying to say that Hillbilly is the only smart lady(???) that can hold an office

    Dear Nic, as friends that we are I think we can agree to disagree on this one.

    I noticed somehow you missed the point I tried to make on this story.



    I am not refering to Obama , see that he is not mentioned in the story?

    I am referring to how McCain´s camp chose Palin to attract Hilary voters hoping they would choose her so that a woman would get to be in a VP position , at least, disregarding all her qualifications or lack there of.

    I tell you for sure, if Palin had been a man, with that track record, he wouldht have had a chance in hell to get elected as his running mate.

    There must be other people in the Republican Party that are better qualified,but she fit right in at that particular moment because ,she is a woman , she is cute, she is 44 and McCain chose her to attract voters that otherwise would have voted for Mrs. Clinton. GOP eye candy, basically. Therefore my connection with the nutmeg in the story.



    And one other thing I see we I dont agree with is when you said that the commander in chief is not as important as the people who serve him .

    I my dear, think ,otherwise.

    He is important. Very important , indeed.

    Thats why he is chosen to govern the country.

    How his experience, intelliigence, honesty , wisdom and good common sense help him in the selection of his cabinet is a crucial matter.

    And that is what America hopes the next one will have, be it McCain or Obama.

    And at this point my friend, it is anybody´s guess.

    A recipe for disaster?Perhaps. But McCain's choice for VP is going to make this one hell of a race. Palin may lack the experience but so does Obama. Hillary spoke of putting cracks in the so called glass ceiling. McCain's selection just shattered it, kind of an in your face sort of move. Palin might be a greenhorn but she does have appeal and as of now this is anybody's race. As far as the possibility f her running this country, one might say that it's not the commander in chief that is as important as the people who serve him. SO cabinet selection is going to be extremely important.
