They did exactly what I thought they would do — selected a woman — but I never thought they’d grab an obscure beauty queen with a chip on her shoulder.

Did McCain actually think this woman would bring in Hillary supporters, LOL!

I very much doubt a super-feminist Hillary supporter will vote for this religious freak from Alaska. Mormon-boy Romney would probably have a better chance with Hillary supporters then this chick.

My guess is McCain was probably hoping he could tap this fur-wearing bible thumper.

I’m still shaking my head. Does McCain think women are really that stupid? Wait, I’m answering my own question. DOH!

Was waiting for your post ever since I saw it on the news!
We saw her speech and her inexperience and her excitement about being chosen running mate came through so very clearly. Even here, in a faraway country, we thought her being chosen seemed so contrived and so like a desperate measure. But there is also the scary thing that this elections looks like it will be really divisive–at least from an outsider’s perspective. I do hope not.

A-flippin-men Erin! Srsly. My hubs and I laughed our asses off when it came on NPR that morning, and we haven’t stopped laughing, except to gawk at the Republicans actually supporting this choice. Unbelievable.

I frequent an online forum for smallholders of livestock, so much of the membership there is from rural, conservative parts of the country…you know, like I am! Anyway, when this news broke, it became the hottest topic on the boards, with overwhelming support for Palin. No, really. They LOVE her. The men posting have been totally supportive, while a small portion of the right-wing women posting have expressed reservations.

Would you like to guess what ONE thing the right-wing women on this forum take issue with? Is it her inexperience, or her questionable ethics? Nope. It’s the fact that she is a MOTHER of 5 children, and would dare have such an ambitious career. Never mind the fact that every male candidate is a father. So you may be more right than you even thought when you said, “…maybe once the evangelicals catch wind of her balancing work and family, and people become outraged that she is a woman running for office…”.

[...] of my favorite peeps of Twitter, QueenofSpain, has weighed in on the Sarah Palin VP choice. I really adore Erin, although I disagree with her on a lot of things. I think, however, [...]

Okay, as an Alaskan I have to set one (and only one!) thing straight: she’s under investigation in an ethics probe, but has not been indicted.

Nonetheless, if one ran on a platform of ethics reform, you’d think that once in office, that person would keep their nose clean. Apparently, at least with Palin, you’d be wrong about that.

Here’s hoping for more Obamacans out of this incredible gaffe!
