Is it a little strange for a Governor to not know what the current administration's energy policy is when your entire population is a stockholder of the oil companies?

This whole experience has got to be strange for her--she had no clue that she would need to be boning up on the administration's policies or thinking about international relations. She's intelligent, but that's quite a paradigm shift for anyone to make in such a short time.

Guess they figure it'll be a pygmalion story--Cheney can mold her into exactly the kind of vp he wants. Putin got Mevedev, so now Cheney wants a puppet, too.

Yes, I think so. Also, expect to see a lot more talk about old age, and the chances of a 72-year-old dying in office or getting alzheimers.

McCain just handed Obama the election ... who in the world was in charge of the vetting on the McCain side??? All I know is that Rush was peeing his pants with glee yesterday, so I don't know.

LOL, that turned off a few women I know, too. What was Rush thinking? Crowing about "we've got a candidate who's a real BABE!" is not how you attract the Hillary supporters.

The reports are, Senator McCain met with the Governor once before selecting her. That is the oddest vetting process I think I've ever heard.

I've been listening to Rush, for the first time in my life ... it's the funniest, gut crunching 3 hours of laughter I've ever experience. Seriously, I have to listen with a box of tissues. I can't believe anyone can take anything he has to say, to heart. I honestly think that Rush doesn't believe women should have the right to vote ...

It appears the dems are now the party of same ole same ole and the GOP has snatched the mantle of change. I find it refreshing that Sarah knows nothing about all the creeps in DC, including Bush. Appropriately shes been focusing on running her state and getting unheard of approval from her constituents.

She will be able to get up to speed on the issues by inaugaration, obama did
