When I saw her this morning the first thing I thought was "She looks like President Roslin on Battlestar Galactica." I was surprised, I would never have McCain as a Sci-Fi Guy.

Put them side-by-side and have them scream "Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, ACK!" This will decide who gets my vote.

The resemblance is eerie, BTW.

And who among us doesn't like (Liz) Lemon. Seriously, this is all just a way for us all to console each other about missing "30 Rock," the best show on TV no?

RonMwangaguhunga

Lemon has 12 grand in her checkbook? Heck, that is more that the federal government (who is how many billions in debt?). My vote is for Liz.

Little Green Frog

@Pardon_The_Bad_Post: Yes, Barack did do coke and smoked some weed in his youth. He wrote about it in his books, and in my link you see that Ms. Palin has spoken openly about her past use of marijuana. My point is that the GOP should remember this as they try to paint her as some squeaky clean hockey mom in the coming weeks.

The larger point is that McCain choosing Palin was an insulting pander to women, and a sad attempt to come across as a progressive, advocate of women when Mr. McCain has voted against Equal Pay for Equal Work. I could go on, but I think my argument would be wasted on you.

NoWireHangers

@Pardon_The_Bad_Post: Whoa...Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein? That's the same name as the guy who had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11! Wait until everybody in my banjo class hears about this...

Near as I can tell, her and her husband did try and get the brother in law fired, but the brother in law should have been canned a long time before that....

(1) Liz Lemon, hands down.

(2) Actually I'm really thrilled with McCain's choice because I don't think it's going to help him at *all*. At least, I hope not.

NadaZero

Everyone is pushing the fact that McCain picked Palin to try to pick up Hillary supporters (and to bolster his position with conservatives)

Not many people have focused on the fact that one of her five kids is heading to Iraq on September 11th (yes, September 11th). There is going to be some mileage out of that. McCain has a kid in Iraq also.l

She also pays people to kill wolves -- from helicopters no less. She wouldn't want to inconvenience hunters with the needs of predators targeting those juicy moose and caribou.

If Hillary's supporters would actually vote for this horror show...well I don't know the thought is too upsetting to contemplate.

Aymea

@NadaZero: people keep focusing on this choice of palin as an attempt to get women...but it is much more an attempt to energize the conservative base that got bush his second term

getting the hillary supporters is ancillary

palin is a VERY VERY persuasive agreeable commanding speaker.....peopel are really swept away by her eloquence. just wait for her q&a session. she is a naturally gifted speaker

Anissa Jones Shoots Smack!

why is NO ONE talking about the fact that she takes baby-naming cues from hollywood: among her five children, a "trig" and a "track"? TRIG and TRACK. let's focus on the issues, here, people.

Since the Dems can't seem to get it out of their heads that Bush ISN'T running for a 3rd term, McCain's VP selection might finally drive the reality home.

Can someone do a Sarah Palin vs Peggy Hill, who'd make the better VEEP.

@NoWireHangers: You my hero, seriously. Let's get gay married!

Huge Tracts of Land

SHE LOOKS LIKE PEGGY HILL!!!!!!!!!! Anyone watch King of the Hill? [fox.com]

ampg

Yes, but fellas, Palin's a MOM.

And Lemon's shrivelled evil little feminazi ovaries and dried up feminazi uterus reveal the true nature of her cruel black pagan feminazi heart.

The only thing more sacred than a MOM is a Stay At Home MOM. The kind that sacrifices Everything for her Children.

Just typing out those words has absolved me of a hundred sins.

Palin's an even better MOM than Michelle Obama. Palin has more kids.

Wrapitup

Jeez, I thought the McCain's Veep was gonna be Jon Cryer. Oh, well.

IamXenu!

I can understand the gay marriage ban. It's Alaska, the male:female ratio is 10:1, and gay marriage would ruin it for the women. Not to mention they have actual "bears" up there.

Voting for McCain: Racist
Voting for Obama: Sexist

Looks like Nader would have a snowball's chance, except that the snowballs vote in Alaska and are high partisan.

rtisovec

Palin wants to force parasites into the wombs of women, and then keep them there.

So she's happy she decided to go through to birth with a child she knew had Down's syndrome. That was her "choice". Why should she try to force other women to do the same, filling their bodies with a parasite for almost a year, then seeing it rip out of their groin, a being made of themselves and a man who may not love them? With her logic, it would be okay to force abortions on women who want to keep their babies, too, if it is okay to force babies on women who don't want them.

@ampg:

The resemblance is uncanny. Good call.

Unrequited Narcissism

There's one candidate in this election with balls the size of Alpha Centauri. Predictably, it's a woman.

While certainly bad news if you're a Polar Bear, the Environment, Gay, or faced with an unwanted pregnancy, any administration that potentially positions Palin in the Oval Office has real opportunity to shake Washington in ways heretofore unimagined. This dame plays hard-ball and has a history of holding her own GOP accountable to the same litmus test she'd hold the Dems to. Palin's beloved at virtual every level of constituency for keeping her campaign promises.

There's a lot more to be said, but my level of interest in this Election just kicked up a couple of notches.

Unrequited Narcissism

@fulana.de.tal: Amen! If you can't name your baby correctly, you are not allowed to be one melanoma away from being the leader of the free world.

I just wonder what Hillary and Obama are thinking..."bitch!" They are sooooo jealous.

"Pro Life" needs to be clarified as "Pro Embryonic Life." Republicans get juiced up over war, bombing, death, and dead Iraqi babies. They mistakenly believe it was Iraqi babies who flew those planes into those buildings.

McCain's VP choice has less relevant experience than Bush did, and is not ready to lead this country on day one, but who cares - at least she hates the gays.

ophthalmologist

@ophthalmologist: Sarah does have more executive experience than Obama, Biden, McCain, or dare I say, Grazerhead.

Losin_it

@ophthalmologist: Not to get in a debate about it, because I kinda think both sides suck... but if Sarah doesn't have experience, then you have to admit that Barack really doesn't either? Because Obama's experience consists of getting elected to the Senate four years ago and running for President for the last three and a half. The difference being, is that he's running for President, and she's not.

Just to be fair and all. I hate the fact that people have to constantly debunk the other side, as if all the wisdom in the world is the province of one political party or the other.

Losin_it

Hairyback

Relevant experience requires much more than under 2 years of "executive" experience in one of our least populated states or mayor of a small town. McCain is delusional if he thinks she's ready to be Commander in Chief.

She has zero foreign policy experience, zero experience in either state or US congress, and changes her story based on which direction the winds are blowing:

@TryThisAtHome: Any woman who believes that Adam and Eve rode a T-Rex for their first date deserves all respect.

Wrapitup

Palin would make one hell of a PTA Vice President. Or maybe even PTA President. But President of the United States? Makes me shudder. Since I have heard her speak in person I can say this and not feel icky getting all bitchy about another woman. Team Obama. Team Biden (who I think is hot in that 60ish guy kinda way).

TryThisAtHome

Relevant experience. Can anyone describe her experience relevant to being VP of the United States?

Clearly, McCain picked her to muddy the experience discussion. All those voices who previously drummed on about Obama's "lack" of experience are predictably quiet about Palin's thin resume.

It might help if she knew what the job entails, though. Larry Kudlow of CNBC's "Kudlow & Co" asked her about the possibility of becoming McCain's running mate.

Palin replied: "As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day."

ophthalmologist

Nothin' like a former beauty contestant/basketball star/hunter/married to an oil man/pro-life even in cases of rape or incest lady to excite the red states.

Imnotatnbc

@Losin_it: Yes, but the Vice President can also be president if the president dies. McCain is too old with health issues to be doing this to the country.

TryThisAtHome

@ophthalmologist: Well, she gave the right answer. The Vice President has zero defined duties except for the ceremonial duties of President of the Senate...otherwise, the job is only what the President chooses it to be. Under some Presidents, it has been policy...others, ribbon cuttings. It really can be anything.

Losin_it

So the people who voted for Hil in the primary should vote for McCain now? Why exactly? Because his veep candidate has an uterus?

That's a slap in the face of everything Hil stands for, and if Dems are even considering this, they prove they don't get what this election will really be about.

Bear_Necessities

Liz Lemon had a perfect quote (this was before the primaries): "I'm telling everyone I support Obama but I'll secretly vote for John McCain"

westie1984

So, have any of you folks been to Alaska, know how big and rugged it is? I grew up there. Do you know the extent of cronyism and corruption? She has defeated much of that. And marijuana? Personal use is legal there. She is awesome, entitled to her opinions, and walks the talk. Don't any of you even give me that crap about being home with their kids! They have a father who appears competent. Rock on Sara! But, I'm still voting for Barack!

@SanFranBetsu:

[www.adn.com]

"The reaction wasn't so rosy elsewhere. State Senate President Lyda Green said she thought it was a joke when someone called her at 6 a.m. to give her the news.

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?" said Green, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"

The bar for being a so-called kick-ass woman is set way too low. Apparently just as long as a woman does not model herself on June Cleaver, she gets to fall under the category of Strong Woman.

I hope there's an episode where Frank tries to persude Liz to try acting in a sketch when she's Sarah Palin...

@ophthalmologist:

DUH--she has better governance creds than Obama and he's HEADING the ticket. He's been a senator for less than 9 months--most of which have been spent campaigning for president.

Cacafuego

@Cacafuego: "Less than 9 months?" Obama was elected to the Senate in 2004.

Kyle Buchanan

@Losin_it:
You kinda forgot one: a vice president is a person whose primary responsibility is to replace the president on the event of his or her death, resignation or incapacity.

If I left a job interview and said, "I don't know what the job duties of that job are," would you say I'm qualified? Totally the wrong answer. Palin=FAIL.

McCain's judgment is highly suspect, and picking a person extremely not qualified just to stir up "excitement" is the nail in his political coffin. Palin - no national leadership experience, no foreign policy experience, barely two years of "executive" experience. For McCain, it's politics first, country way down the list.

Just say No Way, No How, No McCain on Nov. 4.

@Cacafuego:
Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004 - four years ago - and served in the Illinois Senate from 1997-2004. Ms. Palin is the one who lacks experience to lead this country.

ophthalmologist

[justsaynodeal.com] has a comparison of obama vs her experience. she clearly has more. palin has executive experience. her balls were out there, as it is with all leaders. obama had the experience of a legislature, with its diffused responsibility. not to mention his "experience" is in corrupt chicago politics..and well he left it corrupt as ever.

the lefty media already are starting the sexist hilary-esque attacks on her. you should have seen bill maher slamming her on inexperience while he fawned over obama. and he slammed her in ways that would apply to obama even more, but he would never in a million years say in that way, i guess thats the deep seated sexism that is being revealed in the left this campaign season.

"She has a four-month-old Special Needs baby. Time to Hit the Campaign Trail!" Would we be making such a comment if it was a man running with a special needs baby? No, we'd assume his wife would be doing the taking care of. Palin has a husband, maybe he'll pitch in with raising and caring for the child, just maybe.

AssuntaKlinger

Thanks for link #4 about corruption. It looks pretty cut and dry that she's lying about this. I wonder who will be bought off to keep this from exploding?

NYguy

Did you go to the dailyKos site and investigate the pictures that clearly indicate that 'governor' Palin was NOT pregnant with anything just before the miraculous birth of the defective baby ?

She flew hither and yon with no special treatment (as is required by pregnant mothers) just before giving birth to the defective Mongoloid in an ill-equipped hospital in some MooseSpit, Alaska location.

Yeah - right.

Floozie daughter spit out defective tyke and Mom decided to make Republiscum points by making the Mongoloid her own and mentioning that they didn't abort the little drooler.

Pathetic.

How do we know, Larry Craig-style, that Palin doesn't wear beaver-less chaps, at Anchorage swinger parties and bang 20 year old U. of AK frat boys when hubby is away shooting venison for dinner? Come to think of it, why aren't I doing...oh never mind.

@FlangeSqueal: That is some good math. Spits one out in April only to immediatly become pregnant again? Seventeen year old girls don't give birth to Down Syndromes children but their mother's do.
@Wrapitup: Linda Green is jealous. She did, incidently, win by a popular vote. However, I would never back away from the fact she does have a mixed voting record, like all politicians. What private citizens have to say trumps what a politician has to say any day of the week.
