Poll: McCain-Palin
« on: August 29, 2008, 04:43:22 PM »
We'll see plenty of polls in the next few days, but none will reflect this group.  Please vote.

Others have comments going on their reactions to McCain's pick of Gov. Sarah Palin as the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee.  Looking for our unofficial statistics.

"Revise and Extend" here or elsewhere if you'd like, but not required, just vote. 

Edit:  Comments not required.

My only misgiving is that it is not Paul-Palin '08...  ;D

Dem's are already crying about her experience! She has more executive LEADERSHIP experience than both Biden and Obama combined!!!  Dem's think their ticket of BWhore & Biden are fresh and not the DC insiders ... Newt pointed out that Palin was 9 years old when Biden became a US Senator!!!! 

Palin has strong values and is a class act.  Finally ... McCain did something right!

She is my dream conservative let alone the type of woman that would get me to give up my bachelorhood.  This is a great choice.

In my eyes, she does nothing for me( politicaly anyways...) 

I don't know very much about her:

4 kids
new comer to politics( both good and bad)
from AK
she has been to Iraq.


Other then that, she is a blank page.

In fact one could say she is not dissimlar from Obama( when he 1st started to run), both new comers, both unknowns outside of thier own states...

personally, I don't think you should be able to run for a goverment office, while you still hold another, but thats a diffrent thread.

I was dead set against voting for McCain, but his pick of Palin as VP has me reconsidering him.  Life Member of the NRA, hunter, shooter, fisher, mother of 5 kids, the oldest one in the Army ready to go to Iraq.  She really seems like a great lady.  She actually seems like one of us, and has more gonads than the other 3 put together!.  I just wish she was at the top of the ticket instead of McCain!

sanjuncb:   Palin appears to be a candidate you might like.  I have heard that she eliminated taxes in the town where she was mayor and that she has placed taxes on oil companies, not based on their income or profits, but on the oil they extract from Alaskan territory....like buying the oil from the owners, the citizens of Alaska.  It has filled the coffers of Alaska.  She speaks of being a proponent of small government (tho she said that was as a Republican).

TAB:  Again I hear she has made the kinds of changes in the government in Alaska that O&B can only talk about.  Also, there has been a web page supporting drafting her as VP that has been active since sometime in 2007.  She has done very much, just has not been publicized. 

The Draft Palin web site is   http://palinforvp.blogspot.com/


In my opinion, she is the top candidate of the Dem/Rep tickets.  I would vote for her for President long before any of the others.  I hope she is as effective in shaping McCain's policies as she is in governing Alaska.

+1.  I wouldn't mind her seeing her running on top of the ticket either.   

Tab ... "Blank page"?  Lot's of research can be had on her.  I heard this morning ... but need to check the sources .... that she has an 80% approval rating from the folks in Alaska.

I guess this is history in the making.  We will either have our first woman VP, or lord help us, have our first black....  Sorry I can't seem to say it, not because or his race, I would have voted for Powell, but because of his politics.
