Default 5 kids, all interesting

she has 5 kids, with un-traditional names, her youngest has Downs Syndrome and is named Trig.

She is a life long member of the NRA, She hunts and fishes, loves the outdoors. I'll bet she does a lot for energy independence.

I really like this choice (so far)

Careful there, Earl, boy. This small-town girl happens to know where you live.

*goes to recruit jmiller*

Thanks for the link -- I think she's a good pick.

I don't think so. Hillary wasn't picked to run for president just because of her gender. I'm sure that gender was a huge influence on McCain's choice.

Anyway, I'll have to read about her, I don't know anything about her.

Wow, this election might be interesting!

This is going to be a really interesting general election...I can't wait for the debates.
I thought last night's speech by Obama was one of the best political speeches I've ever heard.
Of course, growing up in Chicago, I know it's all a bunch of sheep...baaaaah.

Personally, I think McCain had better choices. Please don't jump on me anyone. She's a little less than 2 yr GOV, has a sweet 4mo w/Downs and CNN is spouting that she may not have the time, experience to travel and represent the Pres. Also, big concern is McC's health and age. *72 today* I don't consider that old, but many will.

Would Sarah Palin have the experience to run our country if indeed she had to? Regardless of her child's health issues, a new baby needs alot of attn from their Momma. She does have a total of 5 children ranging in age. I know that my children needed me alot when they were babies, and I had a child w/severe health issues. As far as picking a woman as a running mate.... AYUP, I think it's great.

Not taking sides, just quoting the media. I do kind of pity her going up against Joe Biden in the VP debate coming up. (Oct, I think)

Just reporting what CNN said. I think it's going to get interesting.

So, please again~ not meant to ruffle any feathers here, just commenting.
