This past election there was a lot of energy created in the choice by John McCain to have Sarah Palin as his running mate. What do you feel was the reason for this choice and how do you think she was qualified to be the Vice President. Could you please be factual with your replies to save time.

I guess I am the only one in the dark. Maybe it is too much of a fiery topic.

I can tell you what appealed to me when they announced her as the VP candidate. She was a regular person, a typical citizen, a mom with kids and a family that was new to politics and seemed to be more like the middle class working person I am then a career politician. She seem honest and sincere if not up on all the issues of the day. That gave her a lot of appeal, but what endeared her to the public even more was the attack unleashed upon her by the media! It was unprecedented given that the media seemed to ignore questions about Obama and his associations and his beliefs and inexperience!

She and President Obama represent some new blood. I think Americans have had enough of the same-o, same-o!

I based my opinion on the stuff that has come out of her mouth...personally, what I have heard her say, not what others have said she said... The media had nothing to do with it.
I view her as a mean, nasty person...

Her attitude appeals to the Jacksonian mindset.

(Unless that is sarcasm)
So maybe we should not generalize so much? I think Sarah Palin is loved by so many because she has made a sucessful life for herself without the benefit of money. She personifies the Woman's movement by actually doing things herself unlike Hillary Clinton who would be nobody if not for her husband.
Its a shame when I read things about her from other women who could never do half as much as Palin has done but somehow feel superior. As far as dumb things said by inexperienced politicians does anyone remember this gem? "Cinco de Quatro" Barack Obama. I guess that Ivy League education wasn't so great afterall.

I had trouble with the idea of an American President talking in tongues!

Sarah Palin defies the imagination. There is no explanation.

I know! I was teasing! I'm sorry, I can have a very sarcastic sense of humor. If you're not sure please ask. The comments like,"hoser", were in reference to a couple of Canadian comedians who really liked beer.

I had a comment, but never mind.
Sarah Palin is a woman who lives in Alaska, hunts (as do most Alaskans), commercial fishes for Salmon (as do most Alaskans) and happened to land herself a cushy job that wound up bringing her fame and fortune. I, personally, think the woman has some serious vacancy issues in her head. How many woman, in this day and age, have babies at the same time as their child is giving birth?
