i would not take sarah too lightly. first impressions may have people thinking mccain has lost his mind. but sarah will have her say when she takes biden head on.

if the strategy should be to neutralize biden.......just watch the vp debate

this has the making of greatest upset in american politics

I will say this--I watched her on CSPAN from a taped interview in Feb this evening and she is no joke. She is intelligent and well-versed on energy issues. After watching that I think she WILL not only appeal to women but I think that a multitude of men will find her appealing to the point that they might be swayed that way. My personal opinion is she is not qualified and I would be scared to death if she was the President but when people actually get to see her in action--they will realize she is an IMPACT player. I stand by my statement--that Barack should've taken Hillary because this lady is going to impress.

lol

Wow. What I viewed on Cspan was a good moment I guess. She was good on Cspan and very good at the convention but boy has she turned into one scary joke. I cringe before she speaks.

And with McCain's age and cancer, there's a realistic possibility that she could become our 45th President. Obviously we all hope nothing bad happens to McCain but you have to consider that possibility.

"I know one thing: this is no time for further gambling. John McCain rolled the dice on Sarah Palin. I'm grateful to Bob Rice of Tangent Capital for pointing out that the actuarial risk, based on mortality tables, of Palin becoming president if the Republican ticket wins the election is about 1 in 6 or 7.

That's the same odds as your birthday falling on a Wednesday, or being delayed on two consecutive flights into Newark airport. Is America ready for that?"

lets see if palin can name a newspaper she reads tonight, or further explains her foreign policy prowess based on the fact that shes "just over the horizon" from russia even though moscow (and new york city!) are over 4000 miles from wasilla, AK.

Its not time for the dems to panic. We got 7 weeks to go.

Debates will be telling. They ShOULD sort it all out.

McCain should pale against Obama. Biden is a great speaker and should do well.

Obama needs to get this muslim thing done. Its not whether its fact or not, it needs to go away.

Its not the the truths Dems have to deal with, its the perceptions.

What many have to realize is red states don't vote whom they like, they vote to christian values first and foremost. Second is many voters are afraid of the black man, and the black man with a muslim name.

Im not saying thats the truth, but the perception. And that is a problem.

It is logical that Obama and Biden are the better ticket, but elections are emotional!

Im wondering if Hillary was even willing to accept the VP? She would wipe Palin away in 5min. Biden should also.

Palin as president is one scarey thought.

i agree, its not time for the dems to panic.....heard this driving home today. checkout brian lehrer at wnyc.org. is obama being swiftboated ?

i also agree, debates should tell all.

right now very little is being directed against biden... wonder if elephants are loading up for biden to deliver final blow when it counts.

obama picking biden is a no brainer....unlike hillary, in my opinion, biden actually believes in obama

biden should be able to wipe the fatty omega out of palin.... no contest
