She's not running for president?

I read that she has 5 kids one is in Iraq and one has Down Syndrome. Yeah, the Dems would be smart to leave her kids the hell out of it. The backlash that Kerry got for bringing up Cheney's daughter would only be the start.

Oh this is definitely a decision by her and/or the GOP to have her possibly be the first female POTUS. Either through McCain croaking along the way or by using the VP spot as a stepping stone to the oval office. She's young enough that even if there are 8 years of McCain she still be of a decent age to have a go at it herself.

Plus obviously intellegent, a great speaker, energetic, a fighter, and not afraid of anyone.

I'm really excited about the election now.

I have to say I am just as much pleased with the responses in this thread, as I am with the pick of Sarah Palin.

This is a year old but it sheds some light on her.

It seems they caught the Obama Campaign off guard. The fact they attacked her on inexperience is laughable.

Team Obama Lashes Out at Palin
Team Obama cannot even say, "Congratulations, Governor Palin, we look forward to a spirited race." Nope, first thing they do is attack, attack, attack:

Barack Obama's campaign is blasting John McCain for putting "the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency."

The scathing description of Sarah Palin, from Obama spokesman Bill Burton, comes as Democrats scramble to gather a response to a selection that nobody in the political world expected.

"Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies — that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same," added Burton.

Democrats will likely push the inexperience line against Palin as they race to comb oppo files from Wasilla to Juneau.

First, after spending the entire campaign talking about how experience isn't everything, Barack Obama, who's never held a full-time job for four years, cannot start hitting her on inexperience.
Rove just called the response "petty and small," and boy, this is going to just further convince the Pumas that sexism drives the Obama campaign.
UPDATE: The guys on Fox News note that the Obama campaign can't even bring themselves to call her "Governor Palin." That response is going to blow up in their faces.
ANOTHER UPDATE: To clarify, in the release, they call her "governor", but they don't even deal with it, calling her "the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency."
By the way, mocking the size of the town — I guess that town is full of bitter clingers, clutching guns, religion, xenophobia, opposition to trade deals...

OH SNAP!!!!

This libs are crying in their cosmopolitans over this one (real tears this time, not the fake sh!t they were squirtin' out for Barry's speech).

There is almost nothing the dems can say about her that they haven't vehemently defended Chairman Obama for. The depths of their hipocracy shall be brought to light.

BTW: Apparently Nancy Pelosi has publicly brought McCains's judgement into question for making this selection. I can certaily see why... Palin isn't a racist, hatemongering preacher, or a left-wing radical, domestic terrorist. Why would any presidential candidate hang around a person like that?
