Romney is in Ohio as we speak!

I am thrilled that Gov. Palin is the nominee. She has a compelling story with
her history of whistleblowing when unethical conduct is involved, her approval
ratings as governor in the 90's. her outdoor sporting, her decision to go
ahead with the decision to have a child when gene testing indicated that the
child had Down's syndrome, etc. etc. It seems that her family is truly
middle class and she will understand the majority of Americans. Mitt Romney had
too much baggage with comments on the campaign trail, his numerous houses, no
history of military service in the family, etc. Governor Palin will be able to
appeal to some of Hillary's disappointed women constituency.

It's Tim Pawlenty. Get over it! Romney is history. He can go back to
sending American jobs offshore.

Please, Rats. If you're talking inexperience, Obama doesn't have a
resume very long either. His background is shallower than Utah Lake and his
policies of taxation and his knowledge of foreign policy could be put between
two pieces of bread and you'd still have no meat. Every politician cries
"change". I supported "change" eight years ago when I
allowed my mother-in-law to move in with us on the guise that she didn't
have much longer to go. Eight years later, I feel better about Bush than my
choice to allow that.

SARAH WHO?? GAME OVER (FOR REPUBLICANS)!!
Re: Rats | 8:20 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
Gov. Palin has more experience than Obama.
Whatever | 8:21 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
The really sad part of this whole process is this. The USA is currently the
leading power of all nations here on earth, and the best we can do is have Obama
vs. McCain for President. Come on, as a nation we have got to be able to do
better than that. It's just sad, really sad.
It doesn't matter | 8:24 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
It doesn't matter who or what McCain picks. Anything is better than
Obama/Biden.
Not Surprised | 8:25 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
I am not surprised that the pick will not be Mitt Romney. Remember, earlier
Romney was the front-running candidate until the Evangelical Christians went
against him. The turning point was in South Carolina after over 70% of the EC
said they would not vote for a Mormon President and Huckabee's inane
question about Mormon beliefs.
A second reason why Romney would be a liability to McCain is Mitt's wealth. McCain, between him and his wife, are extremely rich but how wealthy Americans do not know (the McCains don't even know how many homes they own). Romney is well known to have over 200 million dollars.
This race is becoming one of "haves" vs "have nots." The American public has perceived that the current administration, and the Republican Party in general, have catered to wealth, i.e. oil companies, Wall Street, Lending agencies, lobbyists.
It takes extreme amounts of money to run for a national or a state office and once there people tend to get richer and more powerful (Bramble and the pizza deliverer, for example), while the rest of us try to keep our homes from taken away from us.

years when McCain loses. That should make you happy. Eight is Enough!

She has 2 years as Governor of Alaska and a beauty queen title. There goes the
"inexperience" issue when McCain is 73 and has recurrent melanoma.
All this election will be about is his age & health and her vapidness.

Completely Underwhelmed | 8:46 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
As hard-core Republican, McCain was always a stretch. Now he's lost me
completely. You pick a Vice-President who could be President if needed. McCain
is 72 years old. She's 44 years old. Do the math. SHe has no foreign
affairs experience, no economic experience. I'm already fearing the debate
between her and Joe Biden on foreign affairs isues. What a disaster. He
deserves to lose.
How Transparent... | 8:49 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
Talk about the most transparent move in political history (if McCain chooses
Palin as his running mate). "Hmmm let's see. There are all these women
ticked off that Hillary wasn't chosen. So if I pick a woman VP, they will
all flock to us! I'm a genius!!"
The only problem with this is that Palin has NO experience or expertise to bring to the table that will help fix the mess the country is in. She's an ex-beauty queen, fishery worker, part-time sportscaster who eloped with her husband to save a couple of bucks. A first term governor?? Please tell me this isn't true.
She'll be funner to look at in long, boring meetings than Pawlenty or Romney for sure, but this is what our political landscape has degenerated to?
Good call, McCain. This will cost you the election.

You all knock Obama and say he can't do the job for one reason or another.
The problem is I don't trust YOUR judgment. You had the poor judgment to
vote for Bush two times. I'm going with my gut. I had good judgment 4 years
ago and 8 years ago when I said no thank you George W. Bush two times!

The politics in Washington DC iss becoming a huge joke. No wonder no one
notices or even cares to vote. That's the result of our lack of
democracy... too much freedom or not enough motivation to push toward our
country being on the right track.

Poor little Utah Republicans; they don't understand that the Mittster will
not be McCain's running mate because he, McCain, can't stand him
Obama 08 | 8:56 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
Sorry Romney Fans:
On paper, he may seem like the best choice. But let's face it: the GOP doesn't respect him and neither does McCain.
He sold his soul and put up $50 million to come in third in the GOP runoff.
McCain used him as an attack dog to pave the way for the real VP choice.
McCain makes fun of Utah and has in the past made fun of Mormons.
Take a stand, Utah.

I see that Gov. Palin has a good record. I especially like the Down Syndrome
Child Issue.
Maybe she does not have the experience of some, but she has been the executive head of much more than either McCain or Obama, so do not knock her on that.
I think the attack on Romney for no one in his family being in the military is a low blow. I especially take objection to the attacks on his sons for not being in the military. Craig Romney, his youngest son, was serving a mission when the 9/11 happened. He is now married. We have been told that we need educated people to fight the war on terror. We have als been told it is a political war. People can do more good by learning Arabic and mideast culture than by walking around with guns in Anbar. We need troops on the ground, but there is no draft so do not act like those who are not in the military are sherking their duty.
I am actually considering voting for McCain.

We have been told by Republicans that Obama's time in the Ilinois
legislature and only part of one term in the Senate make him unqualified to be
commander in chief.
Then McCain picks someone with time in a state legislature and part of one term as Governor. This means if he has a problem, we get someone as inexperienced as what they have been saying is so bad.
Great pick McCain, please continue undermining your talking points.

Why was Huckabee's question about Mormon beliefs inane?
So, Are you telling me you don't believe that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers?
Or do you think it was silly because you just don't want everybody to know what Mormons truly believe?
The inability to be open and truthful about his beliefs is what hurt Romney. Oh, and he's a pompous jerk.

I wish Mrs. Palin well in this new phase of her life. I hope the voters treat
her with respect as she gets on what must be quite a steep learning curve.
Debating Biden? If he beats her too badly, it looks like piling on, which, in
turn, angers women and could lead to more women going GOP. Maybe. I dunno.

I am thinking I will vote for McCain. I agree with him on right to life
issues although not on McCain-Feingold.
I totally agree with him on immigration reform and really hope that Bennion Spencer gets elected to the house.
I feal McCain's foriegn policy is built around sound policies as opposed to Obama's naive, Carteresque policy. Obama supporters seem to not realize that there are limits in the system and you have to fashion a policy that negotiates these limits.
We need a president who will give us judicial nominees with a belief in the laws as written and not as they think they ought to be written or how they would have been written if the writers were alive today and knew what the judge knows.
My one major gripe against many conservative judtices is that they undervalue freedom of religion. They have too often sided with the state against individual religious actions, and non-Christians have almost never won religion based litigation. The fact that a township in Pennsylvania even tried to stop a convent becoming a Jweish synagoge on zoning grounds is disturbing.

I'm disappointed it's not Mitt. This is a pathetic and obvious
attempt by McCain to pickup the women who never got over Hillary losing the
nomination.

McCain just lost the election. Obama will win and it is going to be a rough 4
years. Hopefully the donkeys and the elephants can put up better candidates four
years from now. I agree with Whatever's comment. Obama/Biden vs.
McCain/Palin is a sad tale. America should be able to do better than this.
McCain is toast | 9:18 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
McCain has lost the election with this decision, if not before. Who's
going to vote for a cranky, old, almost-drunken sailor, with an inexperienced
Alaska governor to take over for him when he falls over?
SAY WHAT???? | 9:18 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
Palin has a BS degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho
and now she is one step away from the commander and chief of the United States?
Holy cow - I know McCain wanted to pick up some women votes but this was NOT the
way to do it.This woman has virtually ZERO experience with anything and with a
72 year old president with skin cancer most people will be shaking in their
boots with even the thought that this woman could be president. What an
absolutely bone-headed move for McCain. I think this also gives us an idea of
McCain's judgement - or the lack thereof. I guess I just switched from red
to blue! Yikes!
McCain throws in the towel | 9:19 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
Maybe McCain watched Obama's speech last night and realized his running for
President is just a lost cause, so he pretty much decided to just throw in the
towel by picking Palin without really officially exiting the race.
He goes on and on about how Obama does not have the necessary experience to run the country, and so he decides to choose someone with less experience. That makes no sense - McCain could easily die while in office because of his age, and he expects voters to be comfortable with him choosing a VP that would take over when he dies who has less experience than Obama. GET A FREAKIN' CLUE MCCAIN. I seriously think he's delusional now. It's his 72nd birthday and by choosing Palin, he's really showing his age.

More disturbing are the people who lived with a convent in their back yard
but had the audacity to come out and say things like "we do not want a
synagoge in our backyard".
We need judges who recognize that religious freedom for most people requires a place to exercise that religion.
We also need judges who will uphold RLUIPA and use it to stop the use of zoning requirements to prevent any new church building, or make it virtually impossible.
I would also like to see judges who would overturn rulings about Orthodox synagoges that ignored the fact that the religious requirements of Orthdox Jews neccesitated them being able to have a synagogue close to their home.
If McCain can follow Bush's lead and appoint judges like Kent Jordan we will be in good hands. Jordan was the judge who threw out a suit against a Catholic school that was run by a group of nuns and on the cite of their convent by a teacher who had been fired for published support of legal abortion and working for Planned Parenthood.
The right of religious schools to control their message needs to be preserved.

It speaks volumes about Mitt Romney�s general unpopularity and the unpopularity of his religion that even when Romney could help McCain win Michigan and the West, McCain decided to instead struggle to find a vice president candidate with even LESS government and foreign relations experience than Barrack Obama. Finding someone with less government and foreign relations experience than Obama takes effort. So he selects a one-term governor with ties to oil, and a governor of a state with 3 electoral college votes.
It also speaks volumes about the climate women in politics find themselves that when CNN announced the selection, some of their reporters wondered aloud if she had the time because she is the mother of five and the mother of newborn child with Downs Syndrome.
If Palin had been a man, I wonder if the reporters would have objected on the same grounds.
It is after all the twenty first century. Female politicians can hire a Guatemalian nanny just as easily as a man politician.

First of all, I AM a democrat. I did NOT vote for Bush (either time). I will NOT
vote for Obama- EVER! He is an elitist snob, who has no problem taking away our
civil liberties. Atleast McCain picked someone REAL. Not just another
cow-towing- yes-man! I think that the Republican ticket is the way to go.
McCain's thoughts don't reflect the general republican views. I'm
glad he picked a woman. I'm glad that she "worked in a fishery".
What right does ANYONE have to judge someone who WORKS for an honest living. She
is a conservationist and a family woman. She cares about people. So get over
your donkey and elephant mindset b.s. and vote based on information on the
candidate's records.

Contrary to popular belief (in Utah - this goofy, yet beautiful state), we
actually have two of the best choices we've had for president in years.
Obama is the man for our times, but McCain would be a respectable leader if it
comes to that. Good grief, what glass are you people looking through?
Ray M. | 9:37 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
While this Veep selection cements McCain's reputation as a
"maverick," he loses any edge that he had in positioning his ticket as
the one with experience. Sarah..who? The former Mayor of where...Wasilia? You
can say what you want about Hillary, but at least the court of public scrutiny
and dozens of authors have thoroughly scrutinized her career. To paraphrase
Larry, we know that woman. Given concerns over McCain's age and health,
the thought of the novice Palin excercizing the reigns of power, however remote,
is disconcerting for independents like myself who have waited until today to
pick a candidate. I was hoping, desperately hoping, to see a woman finally make
it, but I'm saddened that this choice will result in an outcome much like
that of the Dukakis/Ferraro ticket in 1988 and set back the cause for a woman in
the Oval Office for another decade.

She is not ready for prime time either.
Demos are going to win anyway. Why? Because Bush and the gop have messed up this nation so badly that we have one or two allies left, an economy in ruins, and an army stretched so thin that we cannot even respone to any new crisis.
Vote demo. and end this misery.
