Reformer? Didn't she cut a campaign ad with Ted Stevens? The indicted Ted Stevens?

How does she spell potato?

Never heard of her. Her comments I read so far make me think she is McCains' Dan Quayle/Clarence Thomas i.e.; GOP attempt to get beyond CW but not really ready for prime time.

If she is pro choice the GOP rebels. If she is pro -life then it helps push Hillary support to OB.

Never been vetted nationally. The chances she makes a Qualye-like mistake are as great as an August hurricane in New Orleans.

Plus, she likes oil. And dislikes polar bears (see her NYT op ed): what's not to like?

Romney vs. Palin 4 McCain's VP It appears that it's all down to Alaska Gov Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, and team Romney fears Palin now has the best shot, so Romney camp is mounting a blogosphere-wide assault via Politico.

The tip-off that Politico is just a "promote Romney" piece is that it mentions EVERY NAME in the next two tiers of Veep prospects EXCEPT SARAH PALIN!!! - even names far more unlikely than Palin (since Romney camp knows Palin is the ONLY ONE who tops - I'll say tops by far - Romney as McCain's best pick).

Bottom line, Romney and Politico fear Palin most - as do the Dems and the MSM. (By the way, the Dems and MSM do not fear Romney the most - which says a lot.)

AOL, a main on-line pro-Obama/pro-Dem player, is now carrying the Politico piece promoting Romney buzz.

Clearly AOL wants McCain and the GOP to lose the general elction - hence they gladly promote Romney (no mention of Palin).

Also, CNN had Romney - kind of out of the blue - attacking Obama. Again, CNN, wanting McCain and the GOP to lose, gladly promotes Romney (to attempt to avert the Palin threat).

All the media frenzy which will surround the remarkable Palin "story" - essentially free to McCain - will be worth millions and millions of dollars of coverage and PR (more money than Romney would provide anyway).

I just like her because she's cute Women aren't the only group that sometimes would vote for a candidate because they find them attractive. So what if her values disagree with mine? She's cute!

No-brainer for McCain Sarah Palin is the only possible running mate for McCain that would help him pull off the greatest upset victory in modern American politics.

John, Sarah is your David who will help you slay Goliath.

Pick her and win.
