IMO...this "is" the nail in the coffin for McCain, not a good selection.

 

Nevertheless, she is under investigation for her firing of a state official, Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. She has been instructed to hand over documents and recordings of telephone conversations as part of the probe, which grew out of allegations she sacked Monegan for refusing to fire her former brother-in-law from the state police.

 

I think you've misunderstood the issue. The allegation is that they are trying to get an EX brother in law fired from the state police force. So far no one has shown proof that they were behind this but some of their staff have made calls about the guy. The Palins have made some serious charges against the guy.

Like I have posted in several other threads previously, McCain will win Kentucky. This pick only reinforces that. I am proud to say that at least we will get it right. I'm a veteran and when she called John McCain a hero, I got chills. She gets it, Nobama doesn't.

 

 

 

McCain will most likely win Kentucky, but we all won't be voting for him. As long as Obama wins, that's all that matters. And I believe he will, in a big way.

That was just something that I noticed, and posted. Really has little to do with the nail in the coffin comment.

Let me apologize. I read "hire" in your post instead of "fire."

The jibes about being the mayor of a 9,000 person town are going to come back on Obama. This country is made up of 9,000 person towns, and the more Obama denigrates it the more he will alienate all of those voters with his supreme arrogance. You can't tell small town America you're better than they are and get away with it.

 

Come on Hearsay, you know as well as I that it's not arrogance but political ploy. Do you think the Mayor of Bardstown would qualify for being the VP of the U.S.? I think it's an honest dig. While this country is made up of such towns, the vast majority of the population probably resides in and/or around major metropolitan areas. I don't see it in terms of arrogance at all.

Gov. Palin will not back down from Sen. Nobama or Sen. Biding his time. The debates are going to be fun. At least the democratic yawning festival is over and I have something worthwhile to watch this week. I needed my sleep after the olympics. Thanks democratic convention. Perfect timing.

McCain just hit a homerun with this pick!

 

In one way I think you could be right.

 

McCain just too the history part away from Obama. Now if either side is elected then someone is "making history." (Of course we already had one woman VP before. Not Nancy Reagan but Glenn Close in Air Force One.)

As for some of the comments about Obama's speech.............WHAT SPEECH?:lol::lol::lol::jump::jump:

1) Yes, it is going to drive this woman to vote for McCain.

 

2) I've never thought of myself as being delusional but if I am then I

guess I am.

 

I have been and always will be a Hillary/Bill fan....and I will never say other wise. I cannot vote for Obama...and I really don't know why, he just worries me greatly. I don't know that I could have voted for him even if he had picked Hillary as his VP but not picking her just ticked me off.

 

I am worried about McCain but not to the extent that I am Obama. Now that McCain has had the good sense to pick a woman then my vote is his. I think she's a hard working woman who loves her family and her country and has worked hard for both. I think that it's time we had someone in there that hasn't spend any time in Washington. It never hurts to have a fresh face and some fresh ideas...and it doesn't hurt my feelings that she's a woman:thumb:

 

Oh and I almost forgot...there are times...and this is one of them...that I like to be pandered to.

 

:thumb::thumb: Glad to get another vote not only just away from Obama, but against him. I also 100% agree with the thought of Obama is just plain scary.

Not nearly as much as Pelosi being 2 heart attachs away.

 

:thumb: Amen!

:thumb::thumb: Glad to get another vote not only just away from Obama, but against him.

 

 

In my opinion, you can have all the votes here in Kentucky you want. But thank goodness it's not going to matter.

Think this is a brilliant pick.

I'd be interested to hear why you think so.

 

Where do you see this impacting undecideds?

And McCain's strategy to announce the pick today to take away O's mo from his speech worked much better than the text messaging did.
