Alaska Governor Sarah Palin For VP?

It’s been rumored before, and those rumors (and support for them) seem to be getting louder:

As John McCain inches closer to the 1,191 delegates he needs to secure the Republican nomination, attention has turned to the vice presidential sweepstakes. Who should McCain pick as his running mate? The answer will be especially important if the aging four-term senator’s general election foe is a youthful freshman agitating for change.

Sarah Palin, the beautiful conservative Republican governor of Alaska, would be an ideal choice to help McCain slay this unholy ObamaOprah beast which is set to rake in nearly $50 million a month in campaign donations alone, and has intense auxiliary support coming from the unions, George Soros’s billions-infused Democracy Alliance organization, and other rich Democratic networks.

Mrs. Palin is one of conservatism’s own, and would be the first female vice president. She’s young being only 44 (two years behind Senator Obama), she is wildly known to despise government corruption. She defeated a horribly entrenched and corrupt Republican political machine in Alaska. She has a son in the U.S. military. She’s strongly pro-life, belonging, in fact, to Feminists for Life.

Gov. Palin could become the Republican Party’s Segolene Royal, the French Socialist Party’s glamorous leader known for her heels and political bite. She is the perfect antidote to Sen. Obama’s cheap thrills, and would help rejuvenate conservatism.

I agree, and in fact Palin recently had a meeting with McCain ostensibly to discuss Alaska-centric issues (Palin is for drilling in ANWR, McCain is against it) but it’s hard to imagine that the meeting wasn’t also an interview for a possible VP spot.

Plus, after that meeting Palin made a strong case for federalism saying she’d like to make her state less dependent on federal money.  That’s something we don’t hear a lot from Republicans these days, and it’s refreshing.

Would that make it TWO consecutive vice presidents you’ve taken showers with? Naked?

Well, that would slam the door shut on the Hottest VP Ever competition. Her only negative, as far as I can see, is that she named her kids Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper.

I never heard of her! She is attractive! If she is all you say, she may be a very good choice for many reasons, so please don’t let go of this if her chances improve!

I think she adds very little to the ticket that Republicans need.  Winning Alaska and the red states is already a given.  Winning Ohio, possibly Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota is the key.

I am thinking that McCain either needs someone that is a major force in the midwest, or he needs someone to shore up the economic portion of things.

Things you need to know about Sarah Palin:

Sarah Palin, aka Sarah Chavez, proposed and pushed through the largest raise in taxes in Alaska’s history. She supports the idea that the State can seize the property of oil producers in Alaska if they don’t do what she wants. She has attacked almost the entire Republican majority in the house and senate. She stood by and giggled when a radio shock jock called the Republican President of the Senate a “bi*ch” and “a cancer”. She threatened to support Democrats running against Republicans if they did not support her tax and spend policies.

Don’t be fooled by a pretty face.

okay, recently i have been doing allot of reading on my sarah palin. and i would have to say that she is by far the best candidate for vice president. for many reasons i say so, one the beauty, the passion that she has for politics and the things that she has done for her people in the state of alaska. illinois is no alaska, and glavboajick or what ever our governor’s name is is no palin either. palin fights corruption and some one like her would do the state of illinois a hell of allot of good. too bad i live here and not there.
i’ve never been big on politics myself, so if i dont sound like i know what i am talking about, well its probably cause i dont know exactly what im talking about. but palin has given me something to look up to, sorry some one to look up to in politics and that is her. she seems like she fights for the people, and thinks of politics second. so im all palin and she can count on me all the way!!

Sarah Palin, aka Sarah the Incompetent, proposed and pushed through the largest socialistic raise in taxes in the history of the world. She supports the idea that the State can seize the property of private industry aka oil producers in Alaska if they don’t do what she wants. She has attacked almost the entire Republican majority in the house and senate. She just resently tried to oust the Republican party chair at the annual convention. She stood by and giggled when a radio shock jock called the Republican President of the Senate a “bitch” and “a cancer”. She threatened to support Democrats running against Republicans if they did not support her tax and spend policies. She just recently tried to oust the Chairman of the Alaska Republican Party at our convention this year.
She would be a disaster holding any type of political position.

She is a divider NOT a uniter!

At first I was 1005 against this pick, but they more I read about Palin I am starting to reconsider.

I think she is superior to the others under consideration. And adding someone from a particular state often doesn’t work ... Edwards didn’t bring North Carolina or any other southern state to the democrats in 04.

I think McCain would be risking his chances for the Presidency.  The American people are not ready to put a woman in the VP spot especially one who is virtually unknown, but even more importantly because people are considering McCains age, making his choice for VP a crucial factor for his chances of election.  Will they be able to sell her?  This seems like a mistake to me and a way for McCain to certainly lose the election.  I predict disaster for McCain. Don’t do it Johnny!!!!

I am from Ohio and I am PRAYING that McCain announces her as his VP choice.  She is conservative, pro-life, has executive experience (neither Obama nor Biden can say that),etc., etc, and would attract a lot of conservatives who have have been hesitant to vote for McCain (not that they would vote for Obama instead, but maybe a 3rd party), AND all of those Hillary supporters who feel that Obama doesn’t represent them.  My sister is going to be there in Dayton for the announcement - I am so jealous smile - and I am praying that it will be Sarah Palin!!  McCain can’t lose with her on the ticket.

Maybe God will intervene on your behalf.

Brilliant choice!
Now McCain has someone on the ticket who looks good; can remember the difference between Iraq & Iran; Shiite & Suuni; Repubican & Democrat; good & evil (perhaps.)
But how is it that a sitting governor of any particular state was not aware of that states senior senator getting a bodacious house make-over on the quiet, and as it turns out by golly, illegal as well?
Birds of a feather…

After listening to Sarah I have totally changed my mind about her.  My gut feeling was a negative one, yet I support any choice that McCain would have made, but I was wrong I think to be afraid of the “woman” thing.  Maybe America is ready for a woman to take a VP spot.  I know that I am.  I felt very proud watching and listening the announcement in Dayton.  However, the music helps to play on a persons emotions!  I don’t think this will hurt Johns chances of election after all.  I just hope and pray Gustav doesn’t ruin the RNC on Monday!!!

I did like McCain.  However, as of this moment, I would not want Sarah Palin (way too conservative, drilling in Alaska, aerial shooting of wolves, even less experienced than Obama)to be President of the United States, if something should happen to McCain.  Wasn’t too crazy about Obama, but his choice, Biden with lots of no nonsense experience really is pushing me in that direction.

Ah, that’s cute. 

It has been said a Governor makes more decisions in one day than a Senator makes in a year.

Could you please give us examples of this “no nonsense experience” ascribed to Biden?

We have never been so disappointed in elections before this.  Governor Sarah Palin is exactly what this country needs in Washington.  She is definetely very intelligent but even more her intelligence is combined with...COMMON SENSE which apparently doesn’t not exist in DC.  Our prayer is that she will continue her efforts and will be in Washington before long.  We need her and we pray we will see conservatives strengthen and not give up until we are heard.
