Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's resume

Doesn't seem like she has a lot of experience . . .

Wow, she has more executive level experience (mayor and governor) than Obama, Biden, and McCain combined!

What's Harvard Law School next to the University of Idaho? From the party that touts expensive being a asset for all but their own.

Yes, Figures, she is not one of the democratic elitists, remember, Slick Willy was a Rhodes (sp?) scholar. That makes her all the more appealing, though I still don't care for the head of the ticket.

Tell me, did she fudge her academic record or plagiarize speeches like Biden?

Does she hang around with racists and known street thugs like BO?

She's actually run something other than a campaign. She run a small business, a city, and a state - I'd say she has plenty more executive experience than BO.

I once saw an ad in the metro for a university. It highlighted one of their instructors and listed all the degrees he held. Nowhere in his resume did it indicate he had actually been productive outside of academia. I gathered from the ad that he could teach your kid how to get advanced degrees, but would be unable to help them advance in any other arena. While the resume was pretty glossy, it lacked substance. A glossy resume isn't what it's cracked up to be.

Sarah Palin is a Moderate Populist Conservative. Yes I see they are really gonna help out the middle class here?. She's just another AlGore tree hugger.

Palin said the state will file a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington challenging U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne�s decision to grant Endangered Species Act protections to the polar bear. The Republican governor has argued that the ice-dependent polar bear, the first mammal granted Endangered Species Act listing because of global warming, does not need additional protections. The Bush administration's listing was an act of submission in the face of lawsuits from environmental activist groups. As usual with acts of submission, this one didn�t satisfy the demanders. They�ve gone back to court to sue because the listing doesn�t include steps against global warming.

Stop the planet - this Republican wants to get off - I am tired of not getten any help, beit from the VA, or elsewhere, when I am disabled and elderly and low end of the midle class, they would rather help out a polar bear than a human being, and I am fedup with that line of thinking. Obamacon is no different here either.

. . . she has no experience and is not qualified for the job. Johnny wanted to get the Hillary vote, so he's pandering (using someone who won't be a challenge to him. Surprise, surprise. NOT

Yeah! That makes her better qualified than Mitt.

NOT! We've been shafted for what? Alaska's 3 electoral votes?

This piece is just a brief description. Go google her and read about what she has accomplished in her short time in politics. I think you will be suprised that she has accomplished a lot more than Obama has in his short time in politics.

It looks like many Obamabots are flinging mud and hoping something sticks. When they should be reading up on her. Go ahead and attack her exp, your top of the ticket isn't really impressing anyone on his exp.

I don' t see Ms. Palin as a "Tree Hugger". I see her as having big oil interests in mind. With her help, we would see another 4 years of the Bush Adminstrations failed energy policies.

Please vote for the lesser of two evils.... The Democrats.

She is going to make a great Vice President!

Well at least with that resume she is probably in the top 25 million politicians in the USA. Great choice John!

HOORAY!!! GREAT FOR SARAH!!! GREAT FOR OUR COUNTRY... I INVITE ALL THE DEMS TO PONTIFICATE ABOUT HER YOUTH ABD LACK OF EXPERIENCE.....ITS A SHAME SHE ISN'T ACQUAINTED WITH REV WRIGHT...BUT SHE'S PROBABLY BEEN DOING HER JOB AND RAISING HER FAMILY LIKE MOST OF US. CHEERS.....

Sarah Palin just brought CONSERVATISM back to the GOP.

Perhaps we can even drop McCain.

PALIN 08!

SO I guess, as a former Univ. of Idaho graduate (I can assure you it was not that hard to get into or graduate)I can get a city council gig of maybe a mayoral job and get within a heartbeat of the presidency. That's reassuring! I think McCain has lost his mind or possibly likes having a hot soccer mom around to make him feel young again??? Way to go GOP. Good luck debating Biden, Mrs. Palin!! Sounds Like from some of her former professors, they dont recall her at all, real go getter! Looks like from her transcripts she even transcripts she transfered to a 2 year school in North Idaho before she could tansfer back to finish up at Univ of Idaho... Now that's sad!!!

does the GOP not have any talent anymore????

Fantastic choice Mr. McCain. It's about time we recognize the potential of somebody that millions of others do not know. Thank God for Sarah. You are in my prayers.

I'm delighted to hear of Gov. Sahra Paline being chosen by Gov. McCain to be his running mate. I've never heard of her before, but just seeing her, and hearing her speak, gives me a real great American Feeling, its' like getting America Back where she belongs, I just can't explain it. I'm a Senior Citizen and grandparent, who wants the best for my hard working children, and a good safe life for my grandchildren. And also I happy she does not have a lawyer back ground, I feel there have been enough Lawyers in Politics, It time for a Change.

Extremly poor choice for Mccain. Joe Biden will eat her alive in the VP debate. 8 is enough!

Andy-Sarah doesn't have the education; she does have COMMON SENSE. Obama has an education but isn't educated and has NO COMMON SENSE. He's off in never never land.....thinking of himself as a Greek God. Sarah is down to earth.

Sarah figures things out and Obama never will.

She majored in communications and is a skillful debator. I really can't wait to see her debate Biden.

Heh heh heh!

I now finally believe that with Sarah and John there will be change, change for the better.
