The country does not know this woman and I believe it makes the Obama and Biden ticket a very strong force. We will get to know her in the next few months. But, I believe it will be an uphill battle for McCain with the general population. Republicans can only hope that Mrs. Palin comes on strong and confident and makes a great impression with people.

Actually, the fact that the country DOES know Biden hurts Obama.

I don't know a thing about her, except that she likes Moose burgers. I guess McCain is banking on the Hillary followers being petty, caddy (sp?) sore losers.

The horndog vote huh. That's really something to strive for. But then again I'm sure it will work especially for those southern repub bubbas

I'm at a loss as to how someone can go from Hilary to McCain. Unless it's all about being spiteful over Hilary not getting in, or if it's flat out racism against Obama, I just don't get it.

The idea that such a solidly pro-life candidate would draw significant numbers of Hillary supporters from Obama just for being a woman is a stretch. I think more important is the reaction her nomination has gotten from the Christian right, who seem solidly behind it.

Having a son, the last thing I want is a woman leading this country during a war with terrorists. I hope John boy is taking his vitamins.

I'm surprised to hear this argument from a woman, honestly. What would be better than a female in a position of power while we rain down tomahawks on whatever one-camel village that terrorist **** is hiding in? Then watch him explain to his people how an "inferior" woman helped kick their asses.

Who says a woman can't lead this country in a war against terrorism?

And, if you think about it, what is to be gained by picking up Romney or someone like him. He already has those voters.
He needs someone to ADD to those he currently does not have.......Hillary's peeps, and non-Hillary's who would like to vote for a woman

Actually, having a woman leading a nation against radical Muslims has a nice irony, since they treat their women so badly and do not let them even work, let alone hold a position of power.

This woman has a solid record, so pre-judging her simply because she's a woman is not fair to her or McCain.

Would it be any better were a male President's children to die? I'm having trouble following your logic here.

I am sure down through history, men involved in the military have had to put their son's and daughters in harms way...........
