A couple of early thoughts/questions:
1. Please, everyone, no "probe" jokes.
2. So, McCain and governor of Alaska are teaming up...what does this mean for ANWAR? McCain has voted to stay out, but Palin's been for opening it up to drilling. My guess would be that ANWAR's going to end up probed, if you catch my hint.
3. Has she shown any knowledge/experience regarding foreign relations?
4. She named her son Trig Paxson Van Palin. Can we allow someone with such bad taste in baby names to have her finger on the button?
[EDIT]
5. Her oldest son is named Track? Her daughter is Bristol? I freaking live in Bristol! Is her next child going to be named Hartford?
I don't know a lot of Palin but I will say she is generating a ton of buzz on the interweb and here on the PA forums. I think we have three different threads talking about her here on D&D!!

That's partially because she's an unknown.
Also, the intent may have been to have only one American Presidency thread, but the old one isn't locked, so we're talking about her in both.
End on
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us
Oh my god she's terrible. She's shrill, she weirdly claps when speaking, her speech is incredibly small in focus, her delivery is uneven, and most of all, best of all, significant beyond measure:
The blatant co-opting of the Change message. They've stopped running on experience. They're debating on our terms now, and playing the game we built. We officially control what this election is about, and that is perhaps the most significant thing about this moment.
not really an edit: HOLY SHIT THE BLATANT "I'M SUPPOSED TO BE OUR HILLARY" MOMENT GOD THAT WAS HANDLED POORLY
If Palin is being blatant about the gender/Hillary card, I think we know what Hillary's role is going to be.
Because even if she doesn't want Obama in there she'll be damned if a female beats her to the White House.
Oh absolutely. That was a deadly mis-step. Hillary is a Clinton. They are singularly known for not abiding someone eclipsing or co-opting their legacy, especially a fucking air-head pro-lifer republican.
Biden is going to debate the living fuck out of her. And I think the Dems could very easily disspell the gender effect by simply implying/announcing early that Hillary would be Obama's pick for Attorney General, which I figure would happen anyway.

And Hillary was the last person in the party Sarah wanted to call out. Never mind being a Clinton. Hillary is a girl. Obama and Biden are guys. Guys have to be careful about hitting girls.
Hillary, though, can hit girls all she wants. And she is all too happy to take a swing.

He can't be seen as bullying her, which wouldn't have been a problem with Pawlenty. Hell we might have seen a level of awesome to supercede the Quayle VP debates if it was Biden v Pawlenty. Still, Joe handled himself well in the debates with Hillary even though it didn't come up too much. He'll likely bury her, unless she studies her ass off between now and Gwen Ifill's piercing gaze.

She sounds like she should be running for city council, not the vice presidency, and the stupid, stupid Hillary call to arms made me laugh out loud with glee. The Obama campaign is going to have a field day with this pick and I especially can't wait to see Hillary's response to this (and you know it's coming...).
Is Palin supposed to appeal to female voters just because of her vagina? I know shit about her so I would like to know if she has done anything that separates her from Generic Republican X.

Clinton, McCaskill, and Pelosi are going to be on the attack during their convention.

Obama's camp needs to come up with a nice way of saying 'so what'.
The biggest arguement I face with my girlfriend is when McCain says something horribly out of touch (the $5 mil comment) she goes "Yeah but I mean, it's not really his fault. He's just an old guy, and he's can't think on the spot like that." She works with the elderly so she feels a lot of sympathy for McCain when she sees him get grilled and squirm.
And I try to say to her "Yes - I agree. Its almost sad. But he SHOULDNT BE RUNNING if thats the case." and she goes "Yeah...I agree...I just feel bad. They shouldnt be hammering him like this."
Shes an Obama supporter, but shes not even gonna TELL her parents because she feels so much sympathy for him she knows she wouldnt be able to win an arguement. I just dont know how to combat that, and its only going to get worse with his VP pick.

If giving a shit about the well-being of your countrymen is Marxism, sign me up.
You should try conservatism first. It cares about the country as well w/o all the communist manifesto crap.
Seriously, why are you talking about Moore? He's up there with Keyes on the 'stupid shit that you can laugh at when they make a funny' level of Presidential nominees.
Anyone know how good of a politician she is? I.e. debates, speeches, etc
She has the highest approval ratings in the history of Alaska: and I think in the history of the US (at least since these kinds of polls have been recorded)
Well, there's goes Alaska's 3 electoral votes. Obama actually had a chance to win here beforehand.

6. So how much of an asshole is Glenn Beck?

1) McCain is a horny old dude who likes relatively younger hot chics surrounding him. Can't blame him.
2) I would think this would cancel out the whole "lack of experience" arguement, but I'm gonna guess not.

In front of Hillary Clinton.
Poor girl has no idea what she's just gotten herself into.
That's like saying playing Trauma Center means you have experience as a surgeon.
Why were you considering voting for Brian Moore?
Oh absolutely. That was a deadly mis-step. Hillary is a Clinton. They are singularly known for not abiding someone eclipsing or co-opting their legacy, especially a fucking air-head pro-lifer republican.
No, Marxist LEFT.

Everyone is depressed. All I hear outside my office is "yeah, but..." "well i mean..." "yeeah...i guess..."
Im not catching specifics but its just a lot of depressed attempts at justification.

That tells me nothing other than a bit of the shit she has done.

He does have some dazzlingly white teeth.

Basically she's the Harriet Miers of VP picks.
Oh Than.
...why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire.
Was I talking about McCain?
Just... wow, Palin. You want Hillary Clinton? You got her.
Last night I realized why I like Biden.
He's the only politician I can think of who has a genuine smile. It never comes off as forced, ever.
Fun fact: My coworker shot that footage (well, he set up the camera; not like it moved during the interview)
