McCain/Palin ’08 – is the obvious choice for America. I can’t see any team that looks better to cover all the issues that we face today.

I’m sorry, but I just can’t wrap my brain around the Obama for President thing.. He reminds me more of a Preacher than an Leader for the most powerful nation in the world.

McCain and Palin has my vote…no doubt. She is a regular person, whose smart and tough and can relate to middle-class america – first hand.

I love her already!

Obama has too many suspicions about his past and associations for me to be comfortable for such an important decision.

I don’t understand it. I thought the point of supporting Hillary is that you loved what she stood for, not just because she is a woman. If you vote for Mccain just because he has a female running mate, or just because you want to get back at the DNC what’s the point. It just makes women look weak-minded and petty. PUMAS make me ashamed to be a young feminist.

I can respect someone, and not agree with them.

With Palin the issues we might not agree on, she is obviously pro life, so much so that she knowingly had a down syndrome baby, many women in that same situation choose an abortion, which is thier choice in this great country. I respect her for sticking to her guns and not being a hypocrite.

And yes, you should vote for someone you agree with issues on, at least the issues closest to your heart. But you should also vote for someone who you trust and respect…

… and I cannot trust and respect Obama…

plus we do forget that we still have a Democratic Congress

GRANDPuma is braindead. This PUMA thing is retarded.

What would satisfy you besides Hillary getting the nomination?

If Obama had chosen Hillary for VP, you would have protested that Hillary should have been the nominee, and she wouldn’t have enough influence as VP, and you wouldn’t have voted for an Obama/HRC ticket.

If Obama had chosen another woman as VP, you would have protested that that is a huge insult to Hillary.

Now that Obama’s chosen a man for VP, you’re upset about that too.

If Obama didn’t talk about women’s issues at the convention, you would have complained that Obama didn’t respect Hillary’s women voters.

Now that Obama made a big effort to honor Hillary and her women voters at the convention, you’re saying he’s a hypocrite for talking about women’s issues.

What can Obama do that would satisfy you, besides stepping down???

Of course announcing a VP will take the spotlight away from the other candidate accepting the nomination. You’ve become as igonourant as the republicans we all united around Hillary to defeat PUMA.

Why you anyone think that a woman who has been the governor of a state that requires relatively minor responsibility for 19 1/2 months is qualified to be VP or possibly President in the event that the elderly McCain passes on?

Who would think that intelligent women who supported the likes of Hillary Clinton would be swayed by this gesture? I’m insulted.

This choice just clinched it for Obama.

Obama’s speech was historic last night with several specifics; not at all empty rhetoric! As a former Hillary supporter, I am proud to say Obama is my choice. Obama/Biden is the ticket to move the agenda of women forward.

I too find it offensive that McCain thinks that a just because someone has vagina former Hillary supporters would back her. She is quite possibly the opposite of HRC politically and I find it very sad that people would throw away their believes in reproductive rights, gun control, the environmental etc. just because the VP pick happens to be a woman. “If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything” congratulations PUMAS you’ve just been had.

You are insulted cecerra I am INSPIRED! I AM A HILLARY SUPPORTER who finds McCain-Palin a perfectly acceptable alternative to Hillary. Obama is certainly not the right person to bring the party or the country back to greatness!

As for Biden… what happened to new and fresh and change? Biden is the same old same old. A stuffy washington insider!

I love Hillary — as we all do — but McCain choosing Sarah Palin is insulting and offensive. It’s political pandering, plain and simple, and just goes to show that McCain doesn’t really care about women’s issues whatsoever.

1. Sarah Palin believes that abortion rights should NOT be granted even to rape or incest victims.

2. Sarah Palin believes Creationsim should be taught in school.

3. Sarah Palin believes that Global Warming is not man-made. Just what we need, another politician in the White House that doesn’t believe in science.

4. Sarah Palin was a Pat Buchanan supporter, and wanted Mitt Romney to win the primary.

5. Sarah Palin has absolutely no experience in foreign policy whatsoever. If something ever happened to McCain, I’d be very, very scared.

I was thinking about voting for McCain, but after this mockery of a choice, NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN!

I am now voting for Obama & Joe Biden, the man who drafted the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT.

So because (in your clearly twisted mind) McCant (be president) is better at manipulated the media machine, he would make a better president???

…..It is people like you who make me ashamed to be American.

Palin doesn’t respect Hillary, she calls her whiny.

First, I’m proud to be an American where diversity of thought is (or at least can be) embraced and celebrated. We’re not just sheep. I’m just really tired of hearing that if I don’t think just like you, I’m stupid. Grow up.

jwl6, I can respect your position. Do you know as much about Obama:

1. Obama is at the far other extreme being a strong proponent of partial birth abortion, where an 8-month fetus can be, well, partially born then aborted–borders right up there to infanticide. There’s got to be some middle ground there.

2. Ok, this one’s a little odd. I’ve got to hear more about her position or reasoning here.

3. McCain’s position is that something’s got to be done about global warming, regardless of the cause. My question to you is why do we get caught up in who’s to blame? Let’s just fix it.

4. Being a Republican–and it sounds like, a staunch Republican–would you really expect anything else? Who has Obama or Biden supported in the (near) past that would equally concern the other side? Do you really want to bring that up?

5. And you think Obama does? And HE’S at the top of the ticket. Good thing both Biden and McCain seem pretty well versed in this area.

Disregarding the VP choice outright as pandering sounds to me like an excuse to close your mind and sour grapes that the other side one-upped Obama.

This election should be about the issues, not a popularity contest. Because of this VP choice, I think there’s a fighting chance that we might get some good debate about these issues, instead of cheap jabs about the “two rich guys against the black dude.”

In response to HillarySupporter’s quote: “You are insulted cecerra I am INSPIRED! I AM A HILLARY SUPPORTER who finds McCain-Palin a perfectly acceptable alternative to Hillary. Obama is certainly not the right person to bring the party or the country back to greatness!
As for Biden… what happened to new and fresh and change? Biden is the same old same old. A stuffy washington insider!”

1) If McCain-Palin is a “perfectly acceptable alternative” to Hillary Clinton, you need to answer why you supported Senator Clinton in the first place. It seems that you did so simply because she is a woman. That’s a weak argument.

2) Joe Biden, your so-called “stuffy washington insider”, actually accomplished something you should care about. Go read the Violence Against Women Act and ask yourself if McCain-Palin would have done that — oh, but you don’t have to: McCain voted against it. I’ll take that kind of “same-old same-old” any day of the week.

3) to melschmidt: you say that we need to remember that we still have a Democratic Congress. OK, what is it you would support the Democratic Congress actually doing? is it something like what Senator Biden has already done? Would you like the President to sign more laws like that, or would you rather he/she veto them? Incidentally, for Congress to override a McCain veto we will need 67 votes. Where do you suppose we get those?

My overall point with you PUMAs is that you need to wake up. If you are about a woman getting elected to the presidency, and ONLY about a woman achieving that, just say so. Then I and everyone else will know exactly what you are about. But don’t try to hide behind “feminism” or policy goals or anything else. From the PUMA posts on here — and they are a significant minority on your own site by the way — it seems like your “movement” is about as empty-headed as it gets.

More Distractions.

If Palin has so much experience, why isn’t she the presidential candidate and not McCain who has much as executive experience as Obama and Biden.

And as for her stellar qualifications to be the candidate simply because she was a governor – may I remind you that Bush was also a governor?

“McCain and Palin has my vote…no doubt. She is a regular person, whose smart and tough and can relate to middle-class america – first hand. I love her already! Obama has too many suspicions about his past and associations for me to be comfortable for such an important decision.”

Yes, that’s exactly who we want in the White House one step away from the presidency – a “regular person….who can relate to middle-class america.” Let’s not vote for anyone who has an excellent education, the ability to rehabilitate our relationships with the many foreign countries that Bush has damaged. Let’s not vote in a ticket of people who know what they’re doing.

Let’s vote for Sarah Palin because she hasn’t a past that is too suspicious. Oh, wait a minute – there is that investigation going on in her state by her own legislature. Oh, wait a minute – there is the question of whether she was active or not in a movement for Alaska to secede from the union. Oh, wait a minute – there are all these questions surrounding her last pregnancy and her relationship with her husband. Oh, wait a minute – there are those comments about global warming not being real, that talking snakes and people walking with God should be taught as science in public schools, etc. No, let’s forget all this and elect her anyway. After all, she is a former sports announcer.
