The good news...

1) She is known as a conservative
2) She is an outsider
3) She is a woman
4) She is young
5) She is attractive
6) She is a non-nonsense, family values, self described "soccer mom"

Yes, some of those points are politically incorrect to say but...unfortunately, many people make their choices on less...if not, how could Obama be so popular?

Here's the bad news...

1) She is unknown by most of the US (Alaska might as well be Siberia for most people)
2) She has a short resume

On one hand you could say she will bring a solid conservative bent (trying to appeal to the base...something Romney wouldn't have done), she's not of the "old guard", and she may attract some Hillary supporters.  One the other, no one knows her and it potentially hurts the argument against Obama's lack of experience.
It is a really nice counter point to Obama's pick of a crazy radical, inside the beltway wacko like Biden.

All, in all, I'm positive on the pick.  I wonder how she'll do in a debate with Biden...he can be nasty.

Actually, Governor Palin has more executivee experience than the TOP man on the democratic ticket.  And, according to those who know her, Governor Palin may well chew Biden up and spit him out in a debate. 

Personally, I'm now reallyexcited about a ticket for the first time since 1984.

Sarah Palin as reported by the Anchorage Daily News. The good and the bad as reported in Alaska for those of you that like to know all the little details. The articles and coverage go way back and have been put in one spot.

Um, No it isn't. what do you THINK the Privacy act was about ? It is a violation of FEDERAL Law to reveal someone else's personal information such as SSN or medical records with out their specific permission. Thats why one doctor makes you sign a waver to transfer your file to another. Don't you READ the stuff people give you to sign ?

medical records, yes.   SSN, no... it just takes alot more work.  I can asure you, every ones SSN here is in a public data base, some where.

I had turned 18 just in time for the 84 election. That was the proudest vote I've casted up until now and while I'm still not so hot on McCain, the complete ticket is so much more than I expected.

Yes & No on the SSN. 

Some states do not allow for the numbers to be public.  Others allow it but you have to dig for it. 

But ... that's not the point.  The point is why would you do that?  Anything and everything about Ms. Palin will be out (if not already out) in the public forum.  So the need to publish/print that number has no real purpose other than to cause financial harm.  That's pretty low even by my standards. 

Someone should find the alpha hotel who did that and put his name & SSN out there and hope he gets hacked to death on his credit.
