McCain's Quayle: One of her kids is named "Track"

And don't get us started on "Trig"

Sorry Hillary, but the first female president of the United States will be a 44 year-old one term governor from Alaska. (Seeing as how a "President McCain" is certain be assassinated by a facial mole.) McCain's veep selection, Mrs. Fields' look-a-like Sarah Palin, forces every American to ask him/herself, why aren't I running for president?

Who is this "hockey mom" of five, and what does she believe, besides that "Trig" is an appropriate name for a child?

On your ladyparts: "I am pro-life."

On your uncle and his longterm roommate:"I believe that marriage should only be between and man and a woman."

On fun: "I am opposed to any expansion of gambling in Alaska."

On minority teens: "Someone who... kills an innocent person in a drive by shooting will never be able to do that again."

So Track and Trig are funny names, but Barack isn't? Stupid criticism IMHO.

Barack's mother isn't running for vice-president. In fact, she isn't even alive. But if she was, we would definitely ask her, "WTF?"

Well, Its an open race and maybe that is the way Time intended it to be. Obama is a Senator for 2 years and Ms. Palin is a Governor for exactly 21months. Its a GIVE, Both parties halved each other. Mr Obama can not go after McCain too much and Mr. McCain has to be careful of what he says about experience! She is over 35 and a citizen, it is time we all got back to basics. Not one reporter in 8 years would complain about the 1.3 million deposited every year in Dick Chaney's Trust Account. It is illegal under the constitution of the Senate. The Vice President is a Senate Employee not an Executive Employee. Now you all have an election filled with nightmares and different ages. No One Can Complain except for the one challanging Question " Is This All America Has To Offer" Hold all your noses and watch the coming months. Not one person other than these 4 are going to run? How about a write in Candidate, "Whoops" he or she would still have to come up with 50 million to loose anyway! Sincerely bigmikecraft, PS I am a registered Democrat and a member of the DCCC!

It would seem as if parenting any newborn infant would be a full time job, but parenting an infant with Down Syndrome can be particularly challenging. The importance of infant stimulation to children with this condition is well known. Who will be providing that vital service? A paid carer? A mother who is on the campaign trail?

This is family values Republican-style. It's time to hire the Guatemalan/Nicuaraguan/Haitian nanny who will be happy to work for very low wages to care for this woman's infant. She can send the money home to her own children. This is how Republicans create jobs.

McCain may have been close to being the goat of his class at USNA but he & his team blind sided Obama. How many hours till Gov Palin's campaign biography goes to press? I think that I'll check Amazon's site to get a ball park figure. Till then, I'll re-read Sen Byrd's, "Letter to a New President".

Sarah Palin simply isn't Hillary Clinton.

These two women couldn't be different in their stands on those issues that matter to women most.

"Pat Buchanan ('92 and '96) and Steve Forbes (2000): "Conservatives will be thrilled with this pick. Governor Palin is a down the line mainstream conservative who will energize the base."

Her husband is a full-blooded Eskimo. Good-looking guy, too.
Of course, HE isn't the candidate.

I think Todd's mom is just part Eskimo. Either way, there could be a part Eskimo in the White House, (when they get invited over for dinner). God Bless America.

Man. I am REALLY scratching my head on this one. I was thinking some 58 year old retired General with a name like Chuck Hunter. Some guy so deeply into the Pentagon that he could start a war just by mis dialing his cell phone.

Instead, we, in a time of war, are going all Church Lady.

Weird.
