Brilliant choice. It will be hard to criticize her on experience as she probably does more before breakfast than Obama does all day.
That’s an easy one to dismiss. Sarah Palin has had more executive experience, meaning experience in running either a business or a government, than either Barack Obama or his running mate, Joe Biden. She has more executive experience than even her running mate, John McCain. Governor Palin served as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska from 1999 to 2002. She was elected as President of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. She was elected as Governor of Alaska in 2006. And she has quite a few concrete achievements, considering the amount of time she’s been in office.
The McCain campaign is hoping and praying that someone will say that Palin is unready for the job. “Please,” John McCain is praying right now AS I TYPE, “Let a Democrat say that an executive with 2 years of experience and no foreign policy expertise isn’t ready for the presidency. Oh pretty please. Because you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to take that soundbite, put it in an ad, slap Obama’s mug up there, and run it over and over and over again.”
Update: Sarah Palin … June … 2007
From the archives of the Weekly Standard:
State law barred Palin from speaking out publicly about ethical violations and corruption. But she was vindicated later in 2004 when Ruedrich, who’d been reconfirmed as state chairman, agreed to pay a $12,000 fine for breaking state ethics laws. She became a hero in the eyes of the public and the press, and the bane of Republican leaders.
Sounds as if she’s a real conservative Republican, instead of like the big government phonies & crooks. I hope she ends up reforming the GOP. Some has to double quick. With her ethics background it would be doable.
Lets see how she holds up to the inevitable press assault.
She may present a problem to the messianic aspirations of the Obama Camp. Didn’t they used to call this type of person worship a “personality cult”?
The best of luck to her. I sure wish we had her as Premier in Alberta. Those surpluses would have went to people, not wasteful useless programs, plus frittered away in corporate welfare to friends of the CP.
Check out Sarah Palin for America.
Wow, does it seem like the dawn has broken to anybody else? I was so sick of the nonsense business as usual situation that has been going on in this race and suddenly I feel excited for a candidate! I’m still not so crazy about McCain but now I have somebody who I actually want to vote for rather than simply voting for the lesser evil.
Certainly a lot more interesting than speculating about what Dion will do in the “catbird seat”.

my wife or Sarah?
Bay teh way sarah is Muslim and Middle eastern name
she look like Italian Irish and middle easteran arab woman face but also look she deos nto seems experince woman too nice for his job
Since I got home from work I have been watching CNN News and the Larry King and oh what a hoot!
The lefties and the media are absolutely apoplectic over the choice of Sarah Palin for VP.
James Carville, extra terrestrial, runs down the choice because John McCain only met Sarah once. I’d call that a good judge of character.
Paul Begala, moron, is calling McCain irresponsible because he’s had cancer and he’s 72 years old so if he were to die then Sarah would be in charge and she has no experience.
They spent 8 years calling George Bush an idiot and he managed to get the job done, at least to more people’s satisfaction than Congress.
Campbell whatshername was just dripping with vitriol and like all feminists they are upset because one of their own may not reach the White House first before a good old traditional all American girl.
Larry King had on a woman from People Magazine thinking she would set the record straight but she interviewed Sarah after the announcement and said that women all across the U.S. will relate to Sarah because she’s a wife and a mom. Larry didn’t appreciate that comment.
What entertainment, the Democrats don’t know what to do with themselves as John McCain put a complete stop to what John Gibson called “the Obama gushorama”
What an excellent choice and a coup for the Republicans, the election, I think, is won.
Hey penny, no doubt Wooten is a big jerk, but this is not about him. It’s about abuse of authority by the lovely Sarah Palin. As for less unbiased:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/washingtonpostinvestigations/2008/08/mccains_vp_pick_palin_facing_e.html
You know what I like best about this pick? It is driving the Obamabots inane.
God is it ever nice to see a real woman step forward, I was beginning to think there was nothing left in the political world but left wing buzzard bitches like plastic pus Pelosi .No Hollywood kinko, no picture prefect pooch on a leash, no academic know it all or party mover and shaker, just a nice normal family lady. Her nomination must be driving the political correct rule following little ants crazy.
Mccain saw her only ONCE the probably love in first place
she hunt the Mouse she is act like men and love killing animals I donot like her
she is has 5 kids one down sidrom then she did not take care of herself during pregrancey because majority of woman with down sindrom are not good pergrant or not eat proper or somehow not 100% but in so many cases travel alot duiring her pregrancy cuase one child is alrealdy disablilty mentally
one child in army in Iraq not smart woman never smart woman send hteir son to war ask Clinton they will tell you as proud mom she said
she is paly hocky does he punch the face if she loose too like US and Canadain hocky player
she is real figher we msut be ready
if you want to win the men choose one Bully tough red neck woman that is it you will win for sure
becase she never listen to nobody McCain must listn to her
sound she must be busy having 5 kids
and having famr of 5 to 10 acres she is Whiter famres msut take care of horse and cow and piga snd chicken in farm too
she is famrer daughter
HOW about her husband?
being Journalism she msut write well story but she can be change story and wrote hate words too and can be charge by CHRC too
not the good choice for VP so far
I would say if she was secretor of McCain was better than hsi VP for him
NONE of said above proof she is politician yet
she may know politic as so many journlism may know she has not poltiiclay background
this is weakest link or McCain
McCain not need secrtor or helper in trip or Kartaeh kee femal he needs REAL VP
whynot he choose so many p olitican already in senates
becaue this repulcian sick of their own woman talk politic McCain need assitnat to some times do not talk politic with him and can be talk her children and hockey game and news for him
being nice or tough and know the politic brain are two different things we do not want mom and wife we want presidnet VP aware of world politic
even CIA agent is better job for her to become VP
weakest link not emprese me in any background yet
she is only good to cover McCaIN OLD AGE AND ugly face at least to attrace peole to him like old acter who paly new film with younger actors
“Is it just me, or is “food-media” the new blog name for “new”?
Geezus Bruce. Skip this guy/gals posts. Please. If we ignore him he/she will eventually stop defecating all. Consider it your duty to disregard his/her posts in the name of sanity.
WaPo “less unbiased?” Yer dumber ‘n you look. Wooten is a nutbar, period. You need to dig a lot deeper, ib.
Lberia
“””””” It’s about abuse of authority by the lovely Sarah Palin. “”””””
at least the abuse is for ALL the rite reasons, and it wasn’t about SEX, as in edwards, kennedy, kennedy, kennedy, clinton………………….and a busload of more sex addicted democraps
“And all for a small-town mayor whose only real experience is two years governing a state with a population roughly equal to that of Winnipeg”
How’s the gang and crack ho problem in Alaska, braniac?
skip you draw woman and black men
are you balck if you are black
then how come you did not choose the OBAMA
I think if you are black and not choose Obama they may call you racist
your picture won now even McCain wish to stay in your cartoon and have fun with woman now you should ask dontion from McCain to draw more
woman but this time colour white for your black guy
we expected Obma do shake the budy with too many woamn but McCain jump and
nwo if Obama want to choose Mrs. Clinton
he Obma will won Sarah
let think CLinton win or Sarah I think Mrs. Clinton won
we recommanded OBAMA to go ahead and choose mrs. Clinton for VP for battle we are watch and clap for both parties Obma can hired Clinton’s daughter as well to becm his secretor as well.
taht would be fun
BTW who is cnadidate for Obama VP is now?
is any guess so far?
for some Jesus ! people who ignore me could just ignore me and not say I want to ignore you because if you say it it means you are not ignore me
this is good to see what may see other people too
Obama in reality will chose older man for hsi VP with white skin and black and gray coulr in mid 55 to 59 that is my guess it I am not sure
VP must be well spoksmen and not fighter men or woman and very polite and talk politic and get trust of people VP job is important job
Thanks for the PSA RC. I have no idea what a “Kartaeh kee femal” is so its hard to communicate anyways.
The closest translation I can google up is “Sarah Palin kicks ass and refuses to take names and women in America are farmer’s daughters or daughters of farmer’s daughters and are sick and tired of old elitist lefty hags like Nancy, Barbara, Michelle and their ilk and John McCain found a smart young REAL woman that rocks who knows enough about hockey to be the host of ‘The Weakest Link’ and he picked her to be the next VPOTUS.
Or something like that.
She is what the angry, bitter feminists say they want to be.
Independent, articulate, positive … and somebody who has actually accomplished something other than whining about her oppression and clamouring for even more dependence on the state.
The angry, bitter feminists can continue to enslave themselves to handouts all they’d like.
Palin had done what none of them are capable of doing … standing up to corruption with integrity and maintaining her dignity.
What a gal!
Not only does Sarah have more actual experience in government than Obama, I’d bet she’s also a better basketball player!
“Food-media”:
You P.O.S.: My son with Down Syndrome has more intelligence than you could ever hope to have. Shut the hell up.
The lady shoots a 30.06…
Need we say more?
Palin’s selection is pure political calculus, sop for the party’s ideological fringe, with the additional expectation that women, in general, will disregard their interests to vote their gender. The women I know are extremely insulted by this ploy.
This selection also immediately nullifies the major narrative opposing Obama’s campaign, his inexperience. The issue is not that the Obama campaign will attack her as a novitiate; rather, it is that it ceases to be a valid imputation of Obama for McCain.
What is becoming quite clear is that McCain’s raw ambition has him sashaying in the sleaziest locus. This explains much, in particular, his latest marriage. She is one of the few that can afford the old whore.
I first heard about Mrs. Palin several months ago when a writer I respect first suggested that she would be a good choice for VP. Since then, I have tried to find out as much as I can about her. Many have made references to her outdoors activites and her rural upbringing. However, it is her political philosophy that has interested me the most. Although no two people are exactly alike, I think a very brief summary of her political philosophy is something like: think Margaret Thatcher.
The polar bear should be removed from the endangered species list because its protected status will hamper drilling for oil and gas in Alaska, the state’s Republican Governor has demanded.
Sarah Palin is suing the Bush Administration over its decision last week to place the animal under the protection of the Endangered Species Act, claiming that climate models predicting the continued loss of sea ice – the main habitat of polar bears – are unreliable.

I’ve been in 3 truckstops here in the US today grabbing my meals.
People are relieved and hoping that Obama gets crushed.
The debates are spirited to say the least.
A light at the end of the tunnel is growing.
Spines are stiffening…that is a good sign.
Her Thighness Hawgerry is likely hurling ashtrays tonight, as well as her aides, off the hotel balcony.
In context of good faith conversation, just so the freaks don’t freak out. If Obama were to be Kennedied and Biden dies in office?
Nancy Pelosi ascends…now THAT is scary.
I’ll take John and Sarah for a thousand please Alex.
“Fortuitous, since McCain is a warmist” (from Zog @ 8:35)
This (McCain”s choice of Palin as running mate) to me is the greatest tactical move I have seen in the primaries so far.
This allows McCain to switch tracks on AGW because he saw the light from an Alaskan perspective, not a Texan perspective. Together they can kill the AGW cult once and for all in America and stump the Drill Drill Drill speeches till Nov.
McCain/Palin can give America an energy policy Americans can bank on without a cap and trade Kyoto shackle around their necks. The Dems can’t wriggle out of their alternative energy snakepit. IF M/P start showing the subsidy amounts driving wind and solar scams, Americans will revolt and vote Rep.
In Palin’s speech, where she mentioned refusing the money for the “Bridge to nowhere, If Alaskans needed one, we would build it ourselves” was a shot at T Boone Pickens and the likes depending on the alt energy subsidy s. ( of course, other subsidized programs are fair game now too)
Condi as VP would have been a sure thing for McCain in Nov. But Palin works for me in the area of killing off Gore and Kyoto for good IF they succeed in Nov.

no experience?
“Other Republicans also pointed out that, as a state governor, she
stands alone among the four presidential and vice-presidential
hopefuls to have executive office experience.”

yah, Maggie T came to my mind as well, but I do think Sarah may be some what different, but no less capable.
What will burn the lefties a$$es is that Sarah, can kick butt, even GOP butt when necessary, while the lieberals just cover each other’s arses
Karl Rove just tore into the selection of Sarah as VP.
“With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it’s smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa or Gilbert, Arizona; north Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada. It’s not a big town. So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States?”
Ok, he was talking about selecting Tim Kaine as Obama’s VP, but Sarah’s credentials on the points Karl raises are even worse. She’ been governer for less time, and mayor or a city about 9x smaller than the one Rove mocks.
Let’s face it: Rove is right, this was an intensely political choice. McCain is pandering and willing to do anything to become president. There were far better choices out there to be the VP, but none better to help him become president. Apparently.
It’s a shame Romney or Huckabee didn’t get the nomination. At least they could have made this a battle for the democrats.
“It’s a shame Romney or Huckabee didn’t get the nomination. At least they could have made this a battle for the democrats.”
If you can’t win the nomination, you can’t win the election. Get over these also-rans. Palin is the only thing the republicans have got going in this election. This is the “change America was waiting for”, not the empty suit the democrats have been drooling over.
I saw Palin give her speech with McCain beside her. She did a very good and refreshing job.
It was also interesting to see McCain lean over and quietly say to her: “Take your time”. He realized she might be nervous and he was mentoring her in leadership – which is what a real leader does.
This is a gutsy move by McCain and if her speech yesterday was any indication, she is a fighter, and will greatly benefit McCain.
Yeah, it’s pretty clear that Sarah Palin is a fighter–she fights fierce but she fights fair. What a breath of fresh air.
I’m really looking forward to the next 66 days on the hustings. Exciting times ahead.
She is an excellent choice and is a real woman…..is it me, or when Michelle Obama was speaking at the DNC about her mother, the camera would zoom in on her mother, her mother looked like she was mad. Her face was pulled back and she looked angry and like she didn,t want to be there. Is that the way a mom would re-act if her daughter could be the next First Lady? A face is the mirror to the soul and I think all is not well between Michelle and her Mom. I think what Michelle was saying about her Dad being so great and fatherly may be a little of track.
McCain is a genius…. this is what he has gained from picking Palin.
1. Pro-Life Vote
2. Pro-Gun Vote
3. Some of Hillary’s supporters
4. All the military vote
5. Ruined Hillary for a run in 2012. McCain wont be back for a second term and after 4 years of Palin
being VP….Hillary won’t have a chance against
her….pure genius I would say…
The world is unfolding as it should and all will be right in November.
Sorry Libs!!!…Palin will easily be able to help McCain convert rural Dem votes here in the States…GFL Obama-bin-Biden!!!
I love that she hunts and fishes, with obvious success.
BTW young moose is way better than an adult aged moose, much more tender and tastier. If you get a chance, try it.
:~)
Watching CNN/Larry King last night. A clip was shown of Palin on a rifle range firing a M-16/AR-15, looked like 3 round bursts.
I think the NRA vote is pretty well sealed up for McCain.
I see the Obama “action alert” posters are saying that Palin has no accomplishments as governor. Palin told Stevens to shove it when he was trying to build his “bridge to nowhere.” Oh, that wasn’t in your action alert email?
If Palin’s lack of experience scares you in a veep, what does Obamas lesser resume do to you as POTUS?
Mike L.: “…is it me, or when Michelle Obama was speaking at the DNC about her mother, the camera would zoom in on her mother, her mother looked like she was mad. Her face was pulled back and she looked angry and like she didn,t want to be there.”
No, it’s not just you. I thought the same thing. All this talk about a tight-knit family, being there for each other, etc. one would like to think is true, but Mom sure didn’t look like a happy camper.
Anyway, it’s clear that the Palins are a happy family committed to each other–and others. Service to the community is obviously high on their list of priorities. I just LOVED seeing Palin’s kids and husband behind her, with baby in tow (‘wonder what was running through HIS head? “We’re not in Kansas/my nursery any more”!).
What the Republicans have done is say to America “Let’s get real.”
Palin’s being pro-life is saying to the American people what’s really a no-brainer: You can’t use taking lives as a “solution” to a social problem.
The “pro-choice” movement told us 40 years ago “Every child a wanted child,” not understanding that every child IS wanted, just maybe not by their biological parent/s. They told us that having only children we choose would make America a less violent country.
It hasn’t happened. Since the acceptance of a brutally violent end to children in the womb, the bar’s been lowered for acceptance of other types of violence. The pro-choice/pro-abortion faction told us that there’d be less crime in America if every child was a wanted child.
‘Hasn’t happened.
So, the Republicans are saying “Put up, or shut up.” They’re saying that the Democrats’ Utopian–actually dystopian–vision for America hasn’t turned out the way they insisted it would, that their great social engineering schemes to refigure the American family, to get rid of the centrality of faith, family, and feminine females have proven to be dismal failures.
They don’t work. They’re damaging to the fabric of society. They lead to a dead end.
I’m seeing light at the end of the lib-left-fem-gay North American dystopia. I’m really buoyed up by McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. Let the lib-left howl and throw brick bats at Palin. She’s got strong shoulders and inner fortitude–and she doesn’t have to worry about covering her butt, because I get the sense that what you see is what you get. She’s the genuine article.
God bless John McCain and Sarah Palin and God bless America!
Interesting post. If her selection helps persuade one woman or family to allow their Down Syndrome child to see the light of day rather than be aborted it will all be worth it. Having been in the pro life movement for 20 years or so having this lady as VP and the nation witnessing the growth of their baby will probably do as much for the cause of life as all the picketing put together. Maybe that is an exaggeration but having a family near the Oval Office will be great. And if McCain/Palin do succeed I can envision a 2012 contest of VP Palin vs Hilary Clinton. One way for Hilary to succeed would be for that old adulterer Bill to be cruicified and she divorce him. Then she can pray for sympathy vote.
Is by choosing Sarah is % of Obma is high or down now?
this is my suggestion for obama to win:
Obmama must have it all and mix and match and balcnace among all people and hear from each group he evne need to ahve Chinnese Americna among his parties to knwo them all and but get final decion himself he msut be among people and be act more honest for presidency to gain it
Obama can choose peopel such as or better like:
Joe Biden for criminal lawyer for help him for
war resolution
Mrs.Clinton for old White people ( do not enter her in internatinal forign policy), USE CLinton’s daughter and one more White youth to take more vote for youth American white too
his wife and mostly Opera for black people votes
Obma needs one muslim white skin to be his future VP for USA, with no law degree
Obma prolbme he are involve with too many lawyers and public do not like Lawyers too much they see the world more wiht no emotion USA people like it
TAKE one with heart to help Obma
do not talk with Holly wood woman at all and Madona but hired Holly wood directors to help hsi marketing go better filim nad better writer to help him and market him not his domocrate view and take vote from farmer can be down by new VP if he hire soon
future VP
Mulim+ White skin with blakc hair 46 years old or less than 49 and know US emotion and farmer value and their idea and rich and good talker
YOU NEED dignity among American by choose VP next hard work today politic arenot take eyes of amercain any more and nobody trust lawyer and judge in USA they lie so much then you get Muslim VP he is find and take White skin it works
****************
Mrs. Clinton is a lawyer and Sarah Palin is journalims with not enough political background
both are good Assitants LADY NOT the VP for country
she has 5 kids and one is Iraq Army fighting Muslim and with down sindrom which is their brain is not grow as fast as oher normal kids and woman with down syndrom are went in too much stress and anxiety problmes majority of them not all of them and some of them never has normal life since theire life styem should include this special kid among oher normal kid is tough job
while this may happend in some woman who has it but thisis obvious their life is normal life with having down syndrom baby too she is crow of 5 kids and must be busy mom
if we made Springer showes for fighting of Mrs. Clinton and verses Sarah Polin defintly by pulling hair and Italin mud fighting and puncing as she already in Hocky game she will the game and Mrs. Clinton is not going to do any punch becuse she is a lawyer she is not allow to do
assult to get chrage but country famers’s daughter sarah Palim may do enter in easy fight we donot look for fighter agrresive woman you need VP hunt the moose or fish is notq ualification for VP still but Obma can hire Madona to enter in fight with her sicne Madona areot good to enter in any ethical job except this. Mrs. Clinton has one daughter and she has 5 we can cut the down sydrom and one in army and we think she has potential 3 normal kids verses Mrs. Clinton has one kid still Sara wil win this
do not enter clinton in internationla poltical only in rest she may be good to help Obama and he can use Opera as well to get information from people and
in holly wood obam will winand Holly wood not going to made any good movive about Mccain and Sarah and Obma and clitnon will get oscar movie
Sarah will win farmer and countries music group instead and Obama has pop and black music instead
shake the budyy
========
serious solution:
Obama needs use Mrs. CLinton for help him and get one of criminal lawyer beside for war resolve settlement for future and he needs to get better choice in Vp and then Obama will win by choose better VP. is important to made Obma to win
McCain is not win since Sarah is ready to fight and nobody like fighter agresive woman any more
above people show they are real fighters while majorit do not like fight any more
I was heard yesterday one white woman old lady screamed in gas staion to black woman and said please do not use cell phon in gas station and she siad I did not see any sign to ban me too I noticed that white old woman only racist tried to bother black woman for no reason she was bullies fight for no reason this is hate in Canada and US and this must balcnace among people
usa are run by pentago not CIA and Pentagan are with Republican and love war and Domcrae are with CIA and like ngotition and stalking people and control the war in general not because Americna policy is good but they keep fixing their false and main false not their racist issue need to fix in this election and problems is so far maorit of time Republican won and they start new war it is time to stop the war by choose domorat and kick ass Pentagaon weapn to find new job to do and made more police forec inside city not to attack counties to have security inside USA instead and stop the war but stil Domocrat has problems of thier stalking by CIA and need to fix their racist and discrimination issue in USA and their foreign policy as well andfix domocrated structure too
choose Islam and Muslim VP to help USA racist
they even can find White English Muslim not from Middle east to help Obama in USA some balck Muslim in USA are danger like Khan groups
cconn, I thought I was the only one that caught the little aside from McCain to Sarah. It was a very telling moment as you assert. To all the trolls, and the MSM members who come here perhaps you’ll begin to realize that liberalism is indeed a mental disorder and it is fairly evident by the apoplexy that the MSM is displaying in their reporting of Sarah Palin as McCain’s VP. Perhaps the unvarnished vitriol that the media; print, radio, and television will launch against Ms. Palin in the next few weeks will help some small l liberals to see what they have been unwittingly supporting for most of their lives. Most of the readers here know that unbiased or balanced reporting died decades ago in North America perhaps in the next few weeks we will finally be able to erect a tombstone on the grave when we see the coverage that Ms. Palin will receive. I firmly believe that McCain has made the right choice as I believe that Ms. Palin, like Margaret Thatcher, is made of “The Right Stuff”!
One of my biggest concern for Obma is this:
wining may be come for him
but and may look like majority for him
but still the rank is close to each otehr
still two parties has too many againt Obma
who are powerfull people
you may get too many vot from majority of nobody and get less vote from peoole in power you are looser in practial act too
it means there is big problems inside USA and pool the counties tear apar and if you are not listn to them they go in hiddne and do illealy adn blow up like sep 11 inside USA bullye did it
therefore Obam is in tough challenge the only think he may win because he and Hillary and Joe Bidne are lawyer and know the gmae better than
McCain but do not underestimate of opposition and scurity issue link with too many oppsoiton to Obma will bring too much troulbsome for him and USA as well
In Canada may seat is majority in select Conservate as Cnada are not respect minority those group are get sepreated and infuture main problms today in Canada and also the same issue USA has now racisim and discriminatin and lack of political education among people and parties and put peopel like soccer game at the end of game even if you win the soccer team teh fans may fight each toerha nd punch face of each otehrs
cool down people and transcation period of who win and who lost must be cool off period for oppositin as well
Obama need Muslim and nonlawyer staff to give him good advice and he nees also hire good family working woman not only bunch of narrow minnded polticial parties in USA
he Obmaa nees to hire real ordinay staff not stikc to hollywood staffs
Margrat TURTURE she was older and more experince in polictial party
while Sarah is younger and less experince than Obma as Mccain all the time critize Obma he is young and 47 and he is less expericne in the job and Now McCain hired the girl who is younger htan Obma and less experince than Obma it will cause McCain last straw are also lost the game and Obma will win the game but still if Obma win the game the concern is too many people may divied teh countreis in two as still Mcain has majority of White and racist war lover people who support him then Obma need to do better politic of disapper from politic the same method Mr, harper did and let his VP to talk and he only act in behind hte scene for fist year and two to stay up to end of year of his presidency and people feel safe to talk to him back
the tactic of stephen Dion was good for ombam if he win to follow but I do not agree Joe guy is good vp he also need to hire assitant VP to talk to public with younger likable face and convice them to cool down a bit first two years hemust act not too left nad not too right stay in middle
Muslim spokemen are kind enough to handle this job well. mix multiculturims is recommanded
look like new is using a new name. i recognize his nauseating spew even if he calls himself food-media, i wonder if its actually Lucy in disguise? GO BACK TO THE HRC WHERE YOU BELONG. Scumbag
GOOD for Jews:
Harriet Miers is a jewish couseller for Bush as we can imgine all Bush advice to him was wrong and more smell Jewish to real justice for USA and more towrd discrimination of Muslim
that is reason Miers left Bush and find new job in new law firm with other jewish lawyer now
Sarah is not Miers
do not try to find excuse for McCain wrong choice please
—
When Sen. John McCain tapped Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate today, the Jewish political blogosphere — as loud and fast and opinionated as (for lack of a better word) the Gentile Web — came to a screeching halt.
After all, you can fight about John McCain, and Barack Obama, and Joe Biden . . .but Sarah Palin?
It took an Internet eternity for Jewish Republicans to come out swinging for Sarah, an just as long for Jewish Democrats to hit back.
“Homerun!” Larry Greenfield, the California director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, wrote me via e-mail five hours after McCain’s announcement. “Governor Palin has a very close relationship with the Jewish community of Alaska, with Chabad (Rabbi Greenberg) and with AIPAC. She is close to the Frozen Chosen!”
Seconds later came a blast from Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) claiming Palin endorsed Pat Buchanan’s presidential run in 2000: “John McCain’s decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for President in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans.”
Oh, now it’s getting good.
When Sen. Barack Obama picked Sen. Joe Biden last week, the Democrats had nothing but praise for the long term senator, citing positive comments from AIPAC and decades of foreign policy experience. And Jewish e-mail boxes filled with Biden’s now familiar quote: “You don’t have to be Jewish to be a Zionist, and I’m a Zionist.”
Then Republican Jews struck.
An e-mail quickly circulated linking to an article on a right-leaning web site claiming Biden was in the pocket of the Iranian mullahs. As for AIPAC’s kind words about Biden? “AIPAC has to say nice things,” a Republican activist told me. “They have to be bi-partisan.” And that pro-Zionist quote? Pretty words, just like his boss, Obama.
The Dems responded with a further defense of Biden’s record. If you could call Biden’s support for Israel into question, said the Executive Director of the National Jewish Democratic Council Ira Forman, then you could call Golda Meir’s loyalty to Israel in question.
The Veep debate among Jews is important because there are many Jewish voters who are still a bit leery about Obama. Jews traditionally vote Democratic (upwards of 75 percent voted for John Kerry in 2004 — and we didn’t even really like him). A growing number of Jews have found a home in the Republican party, and are fairly candidate-proof — they vote red no matter what.
A significant number of Jewish voters, however, will change their vote depending on which candidate they perceive as “better for Israel.” These voters believe that Israel is facing immediate existential threats from Palestinian terror, from a near-nuclear Iran, and from over-eager politicians forcing it to make dangerous territorial concessions for the sake of elusive peace. These voters — call them “Israel Firsters” — see their one vote as crucial to preventing another Holocaust, and theirs are the votes that Jewish Dems and Jewish Republicans are fighting over.
Obama and Israel is the battleground issue for Jewish voters in the 2008 election — these are the Jewish votes up for grabs in this race. If Republicans can paint Obama as a Muslim or Muslim sympathizer, as an appeaser to Iran, as inexperienced on foreign policy, as insufficiently caring about Israel in his kishkes — the Yiddish word for guts — then they can peel off Jewish votes.
This strategy won’t matter in heavily pro-Democratic states like California and New York, but it can matter in swing states like Ohio and Florida. And it matters elsewhere in the race: Jews give money, Jews get involved, Jews shape opinion far out of proportion to their numbers. (Yes, there are only six of us in the entire country. Amazing what controlling the media will get you!)
Enter Sarah.
If McCain had picked Mitt Romney or Tom Ridge or — cue the bar mitzvah band — Joe Lieberman, he would have unquestionably swept up the Israel Firsters. These men have track records and gravitas when it comes to Israel and foreign policy. (This debate among Jews and Israel reflects the larger foreign policy concerns about Obama that Republicans are making the centerpiece of their opposition. Many conflicts in Jewish life mirror conflicts in the larger culture — that’s Anthropology 101).
But he chose Sarah Palin: former mayor of a small Alaska town, governor of Alaska, devout Christian.
For Jews who are not necessarily Israel Firsters, she carries some positives and negatives. Positives: she is a crusader for good government and a fiscal conservative. She is smart and successful and patriotic. Jews like all these things.
“As governor of Alaska, Palin has enjoyed a strong working relationship with Alaska’s Jewish community. She has demonstrated sensitivity to the concerns of the community and has been accessible and responsive,” said Republican Jewish Coalition Executive Director Matt Brooks.

food-media…or whatever your name is, please STOP!!! Trying to read your posts is making me dizzy…
truewest -Eric Nielson, the man who saved Canada from the ‘Red Devils(Bolsheviks) – a la Turdo’ -, was from The Yukon; a territory with fewer people than the city of Kamloops. I hope that this fact will make you less fearful of people from sparsely populated areas.
If you take ‘food-media’s’ comments and delete every 3rd word, transpose alternate words, and hold the result up to a mirror…they’re still unintelligible. Maybe they need to be un-zipped?
(I’m gonna try the food processor next) 😉
I want to see this Palin chick turned loose with an ax in the US federal bureaucracy. She fired the whole friggin’ Alaska board of agriculture? AWESOME.
HEY SARAH! Have a go at the frickin’ Immigration nazis, and how about the BATF there, eh?
I’m going to buy that woman a chainsaw, and ask her to come to Ottawa for a visit.
I don’t know what the hell John McCain was thinking, but it just goes to show that he is not all there. She is one cold hearted b%&#* to hate the poor polar bears so much. Oh well, at least he has put a final nail in his coffin. He has no chance of winning the election now.
