Even Her Thighness is proclaiming this as a historic pick.


i saw that headline on Drudge this morning - Hilary had to react in kind I guess since Palin was so congratulatory to her.. give her a few days though, the snark WILL come out.

But I bet she said it like her jaws were wired shut.

With all the gritting and grinding of teeth while smiling that Hillary has had to do lately........... wonder what her dental bill is going to cost us?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I'm so excited!!! I'm just finer than a frog hair with McCain's pick.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I watched Palin speak today. NO teleprompter, just the typical speech notes (an outline). Good eye contact with her audience. She never ONCE leaned on the podium. All in all, she was by the book on public speaking. I was truly impressed. She needs to drop the "18,000 cracks in the ceiling" bit, IMO. Once was good, twice was OK, to keep repeating it will get tiresome.

I agree, that line will make her nomination appear disingenuous.

I think her message that America is first, ahead of special interests is a good one - that should be the McCain/Palin mantra from now until Nov 4th.

And of course, it will need to be implemented when they take office.  :whatever:

Reporter: MR. McCain, how do you respond to charges that Palin has no experience?
McCain: If Obama had as much experience as Ms. Palin, he’d be ready for the VP slot, too.
