I want to hear her say it now, on national television for us all to see, as the VP candidate. Not something she said when nobody outside of Alaska cared. We know how things change. Like how she's a "reformed earmarker" now.

Your right.....she did change her mind when "Alaska itself couldn't pay for it".

It's on the issues website as well. Look at her history she has only been elected a very short time don't expect to know everything about her like you might about Obama or McCain considering the amount of time they have been running. Basically she agree with McCain on the major issues and disagrees with the "details"


She's not going to be a "yes" person......her past shows that which is good. We want questions asked the entire time the decisions are being made. A mom of 5 with varied issues gives a very large insight into actual America.....With America being slightly in the majority with "females" http://www.infoplease.com/spot/womencensus1.html

I would bet a large majority can relate to Palin. Even if disagreeing on some issues.

She changed her mind when it was politically convenient to do so.

If that's the argument I hope Obama is the one your voting for.

Gov. of a State? She's already setting up in case she does become VP for her place to be taken over and taken care of. Just like all the other nominees.

Well, if she gets to hit the reset button on her pork history, then I guess that should be afforded to both sides.

At least you're not assuming I'm voting for Obama.

that should have been isn't.


Her pork is a lot less than the reg.

She actually has shaken the reg. in AK and that is the main reason she is so popular.

What does senator Obama have to do with the Governor's refusal to talk to the press? How does this make sense? You can't use Senator Obama as an excuse, stop
tuckering.
