So...How Many Are Voting for Palin

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

And by that I mean, you aren't really voting for McCain because he's been too questionable on too many important issues; you're pulling the lever next to the "R" in November because Palin has her solid policy and street cred.

This pick certainly has me reenergized and excited about Nov.

[DarkHalo]

I cant stand McCain and have said all along I will not vote for him. Palin on the other hand is a lot like what I am looking for. I do not know what her position on immigration is. She has a long history of disagreeing with party policy so maybe she will let McCain know how wrong he is on immigration. Mostly I just dont know yet. If I were to vote right now I would vote Libertarian. But I have been a registered Independent for many years so that might change.

Indeed.

She'll serve as a rightist center of gravity. Because she will have his ear to ward off anything too bone-headed and because she is the heir-apparent for 2012/2016 he will be reluctant to undermine her conservative credentials. She makes me feel safer about McCain.

PALIN (and some other guy) '08!

[Tucker]

They got mine. (As if there ever was any doubt.)

[Duke Nukum]

I'm voting for Palin.  I never vote for Senators since Dole.  Senators, a bunch of whiny little crybabies.

[Splashdown]

It means I can trust McCain's executive judgment better than I thought. Inspired pick. I'm happier to vote for the ticket today than I was yesterday.

[USA4ME]

I'll admit it, she's at least got me strongly considering it.  I can't stand McCain, but with her on the ticket, it's different.

During the convention I'll tune in to watch her speak.  I could care less about watching McCain speak.

[Atomic Lib Smasher]

I gotta admit, I'm a little more happy about the McCain ticket. McCain really picked a good one, not just for tactical reasons (Palin being a woman of course, taking away the Hillary vote from Osama), but she (from what I've read) is a down to Earth conservative and government reformer. She's a good pick for co-pilot of America.

I held my nose and voted for Bush last election. I have regretted it ever since.

"Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."

I cant stand McCain. I do like Palin. I just dont think that is enuff to get me to vote for McCain.

McCain has done a lot of things right lately but because he has betrayed his own party so much in the past, (And for what?  A tiny bit of media praise!) that anything less than inspired Conservatism and I just put him back in the treacherous column.

Trust but verify, verify, verify and then verify again.

McCain has a whole hell of a lot to make up for and six weeks of doing things right doesn't make up for years and years of treachery.

But I don't have to vote for him, I can vote for this very accomplished conservative.

[Lord Undies]

My opinion is John McCain has, at his advanced age, finally had his eyes opened.  It took this run as the actual Republican candidate for president to make him understand who his friends are (pardon the grammar). 

John McCain has spent years looking through the Primrose Lens of liberal media adulation.  That special attention took him on paths he never thought he could walk.  Then he became the enemy of the liberal media and their jackhammers came out to chunk-up his smooth path.  John McCain does not take a double-cross lightly.

We have a candidate ready for bear.  His VP pick demonstrates that.  John McCain is ready to embrace a normal conservative agenda and win this race if for no other reason than to stick it up the media's ass.

Just my opinion.

I think also if ya wanna add to it, it was the media that loved him so damn much when he was fighting the GOP coming back to bite him in the ass hard with him running for president against the Obamessiah. Think he learned a lesson there.

Okay, so he sold out his own party and values when he got media love and now that the media have turned on him, he's learned his lesson?  What is the essence of Juan McCainez?  Does he believe in anything?  Other than he should have been elected President in 2000?  And that he should be elected President now?

I need more than six weeks of solid decision making.  Who is Juan at his core?  What does he believe?  It seems to me his core philosophy is "whatever it takes to fool the base to win."  Which makes me wonder which Juan we will get after he takes the oath.

His running mate has a solid record I like her.  I like to be able to look back more than six weeks.  Plus she's not a senator.  Always a plus in my book.

What is McCains stance on immigration? Has it changed since he picked Palin?

People, we have to keep our eye on the ball here. There is no bigger or more important issue to keep on the forefront. The economy, terrorism, gas prices...they all pale in comparison to the horrific damage being done to our great country by open borders. And John McCain supports open borders every bit as much as Bush does. PLEASE dont forget that.

[Jim]

I'm voting against socialism first and foremost.

I expect only less liberal Supreme Court judges out of McCain and if I get better than that then its gravy.

I love Palin in the veep role as it slingshots her into a historic position and for the right reasons.

Bring in Bobby Jindal after her and I really see hope that the GOP can turn themselves around and become conservatives again and lead our country to an even brighter future.

Corny ?  Maybe but a boy has to be able to dream.

So I have two choices....and I should punish McCain by voting for that absolutely horrible Marxist pig-person just because McCain may not be what I want on immigration?  I think not.

It's too late now to worry about illegal immigration in this election season.  McCain may not be perfect on an issue or two, but we KNOW the other guy is poison to America on EVERY issue.

Yeah, you stick by your principles.  I'll stick with the best chance I have of getting three more Supreme Court justices who respect the design of this nation.  

I have a chance with McCain.  I have NO CHANCE with Dumbo Ears.  See you at the polls.

Yeah I agree. I am surprised he chose her. I expected him to choose another RINO.

Did you vote for Bush? If so how do you feel about that vote now? I voted fo him, twice! And I am embarassed and ashamed that I did. Would Kerry have been worse? Of course! But just saying "My guy sucks slightly less than your guy sucks" isnt good enough to earn my vote. And damnit those scumbags in DC never will get the message if we keep giving away our votes due to fear.

I've always seen it as a choice between deadly poison and slightly less deadly poison.

By all means, vote for Juan in the fall if that is okay with you but hold his feet to the fire.  Demand things from him.  Don't just say, "oh he's been a solid Republican for six weeks, he must have learned his lesson."

I say, "Good job the last six weeks Juan, and the Palin selection is truly inspired.  But I expect more more."

While he has done a fantastic job for nearly seven weeks, it doesn't erase years and years treachery.  And years.  Way before 2000 he was an treacherous idiot.

[ReardenSteel]

I was already prepared to hold my nose and vote for McCain. With Palin in tow, maybe I can now enter the voting booth breathing through at least one nostril.

I'm still learning about her but I really like what I have seen so far.

How noble.  I take it you don't vote?  That may be a good thing.  

Like it or not, dude, you are living in a crossroad.  There are two, possible three, Supreme Court justices who have been trying to outlive this Bush administration and have no chance of waiting out the next administration.  

I have watched you make some rather unusual decisions, reflected on various boards, but your support of Barak Obama, by withholding support for John McCain, is more than I can understand from a man of your life experience.

I am an Independent. Have been for years. I usually vote Republican and I did in the last 2 presidential elections. So no, I wont vote for Obama. Hes a socialist thru and thru.

But i wont buy into the thinking that if I dont vote for McCain I am voting for Obama.

If we dont make the politicians feel the pain they deserve for supporting policies the voters dont they will never change.

Let me ask you this...how close do you live to ground zero of the Mexican invasion? I DO live at ground zero. Will you wait till it hits your own neighborhood before you understand how horrific it is?
