It's possible. Hey, I'm just being objective.

The middle name Hussein has been an effective tool to swing some votes McCain's way. Now a teenage pregnancy out of wedlock will shift the tide in the other direction at bit.

Not good.
Hey, I'm willing to live with the truth. But I'm not interested in the lies.

The "trashing" is not Palin but that she presents an issue [daughter's pregnancy] of controversy esp for moralistic Republicans. The VP pick should never get more coverage than the presidential candidate. This is a poor judgment decision by McCain & he may regret picking the Alaska governor.

Then own the truth:

She's against sex ed and her teen daughter is pregnant.

She's being investigated for abuse of power, a commissioner has testified against her.

She belonged to a political group that no longer wanted to be a state of the union.

She was up to her neck in earmarks.

More on the way....

I have to say that I was torn about voting. My preference was for Hillary, though I really like McCain 2000, which I think he could come back as if he was elected. But with Palin as the VP pick, I just don't think I could vote for him. She speaks well, she has confidence, she has been governor of Alaska for almost 2 years, but does that qualify someone to be Vice-President?

Surely there were just as or even more qualified people to be McCain's running mate, people who wouldn't have had all these issues cropping up and had more experience, no?

I'm sure John has better things to do that read the garbage written in here. Planning for his presidency takes priority over listening to people make up trash and tell lies.
None of the trash talking makes any difference on either side, people just have no life so they dwell in the scum pits...
All of you doubters will be begging to vote for John and Sarah by November...
Now go get a hobby...
