YES!

When they suggested that McCain would possibly be selecting a female running mate I thought "I hope it's Sarah Palin." The thoughts that it might be Hutchinson were not comforting.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this first woman governor of Alaska, read on.

She is a staunch Conservative, pro-firearm, anti-abortion, not afraid to go up against the big boys, pro-oil, fiscally conservative, anti-pork barrel spending, anti-big government, pro-military, and she's just ... plain ... HOT.

The opposition will rail on her "inexperience" but this is one mover and shaker governor who hasn't let "inexperience" slow her down. She is also one politician who has actually kept her promises made during the election.

HERE is her Wiki bio.

An excerpt:

Governorship

Governor Palin visits a wounded soldier in Landstuhl, Germany, July 2007In 2006, Palin, running on a clean-government campaign, executed an upset victory over then-Gov. Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Despite the lack of support from party leaders and being outspent by her Democratic opponent, she went on to win the general election in November 2006, defeating former Governor Tony Knowles. Palin said in 2006 that education, public safety, and transportation would be three cornerstones of her administration.

When elected, Palin became the first woman to be Alaska's governor, and the youngest governor in Alaskan history at 42 years old upon taking office. Palin was also the first Alaskan governor born after Alaska achieved U.S. statehood. She was also the first Alaskan governor not to be inaugurated in Juneau, instead choosing to hold her inauguration ceremony in Fairbanks. She took office on December 4, 2006.

Highlights of Governor Palin's tenure include a successful push for an ethics bill, and also shelving pork-barrel projects supported by fellow Republicans. Palin successfully killed the Bridge to Nowhere project that had become a nationwide symbol of wasteful earmark spending. "Alaska needs to be self-sufficient, she says, instead of relying heavily on 'federal dollars,' as the state does today."

She has challenged the state's Republican leaders, helping to launch a campaign by Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell to unseat U.S. Congressman Don Young and publicly challenging Senator Ted Stevens to come clean about the federal investigation into his financial dealings. Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard praised Palin as a "politician of eye-popping integrity" and referred to her rise as "a great (and rare) story of how adherence to principle—especially to transparency and accountability in government—can produce political success."

In 2007, Palin had an approval rating often in the 90s. A poll published by Hays Research on July 28, 2008 showed Palin's approval rating at 80%.

What a sly SOB.......Obama didnt pick Hillary.....and so he picks a woman VP...Just think he's throwing a hard ball to get in. IMO


He so reminds me of the chicken purdue guy! LMAO

(keep in mind-politics is NOT my best subject at all)but think he's being sly
 
Sweeeet!!

McCain has made a brilliant move in selecting Palin. She's a hard core Conservative, a beautiful lady who will bury Biden during debates, and she will attract Hillary's pissed-off female supporters who will vote with clean consciences for McCain/Palin now just to spite Obama.


Karl Rove couldn't have planned it better! Hmmm. Or did he????
 
I am going to say two things and you can BOOKMARK this post and hold it against me.

1. McCain just won this election.

2. Sarah Palin will be the first female president of the United States.
 
Thanks McCain. You just handed over the election. Sweet.

A two year governor who's under investigation. She will get absolutely creamed in any debate with Biden.

Lovin' this!

2) This is after McCain's heart-attack in office, I'm assuming.
1) If taking on a female VP is all it takes to become President, it's a shame that Obama didn't take Clinton...NOT! :rofl:

There was some concern in recent weeks that an investigation into an attempt by the governor's office to have an individual state trooper fired could derail Palin's VP chances. The trooper in question had been involved in a contentious divorce with Palin's younger sister and reportedly threatened others. So far, independent investigators have found it was Palin staffers who made the contacts and Palin knew nothing of their efforts.

Anything else she's under investigation for?
 
In July 2008 Governor Sarah Palin fired the Alaska Commissioner for Public Safety Walt Monegan, according to the Associated Press. Monegan is maintaining that Sarah Palin fired him for refusing to fire Palin's ex brother-in-law from the Alaska State Troopers.

It should also be noted that this investigation is being led by the GOP-controlled Alaska legislature, after she upset the GOP tea party up there and got elected without their support after knocking off their guy. She then shelved a very large pet project.

Seems like if the GOP having Clinton investigated is sour-grapes politics, then the GOP having Palin investigated would be the same thing.
