The political mix just became much more interesting. In fact, history is being made before our eyes. As informed voters, we had all better read-up on this woman. Watch out Senator Obama, another female nemesis to fight. And she has much better fashion sense than your last foe. And she's an 'All-American Woman' knockout.
When McCain introduced her as his running mate, the universal surprised reaction was "what? who?". Within days, this aggressive, no-nonsense, small town, blue-collar girl was bringing a new inspiration and zest to the Republican Party and the national election. No one could have predicted this. The more that was revealed about her, the more her popularity soared right through the roof.
Achieving star status nearly overnight, she totes some executive experience to the table, of which none of the other top players have. She also has the highest security clearance of all the candidates. (she has our first line missile defense system in her yard). And she's known for going against the flow, kicking butt when faced with corruption and foolishness. She earned the nickname 'Sarah Barracuda' in high school for her basketball fiestiness, and has not let up. Each election she has won was against an incumbent.
A political reporter was asked what he thought of her. "This woman kills her own food."
So Sarah has created a ripple of shock and terror throughout the Democratic Party who believed the celebrity status of the Obamas was quickly leading to a shoo-in to the presidency. The Dems have now reverted to a defensive posture. This is evidenced by the sheer volumes of attacks from the left upon Sarah and her family. Some of it is very, very ugly. Politics at its worst.
One can't help but wonder if this woman isn't earmarked as a 'future' president in training. Considering McCain's age, he may want to serve only one term, and then turn everything over to his VP. Now that is something to think about. This is one election where running-mates could be extremely important.
But all-in-all, where else but in America is there such a stimulating election process. The candidacy dynamics of an elderly war-hero statesman, a smart beautiful woman, a charismatic black man, and a popular senior senator surely is one for the record books.
Have you noticed that none of the male candidates wear glasses?

The recent Des Moines rally for Senator Barack Obama was missed due to prior commitment. Yet standing in one place five hours for a shot is not something that will be regretted. It is doubtful that Senator Biden will pass this way before the election.

We, in Ireland, can't figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.
On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can't seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run!
Now...on the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship!
What in God's name are ya lads thinking over in the colonies!!!!!

Life were either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician.

An electrical engineer had had two McCain/Palin yard signs stolen from his property and replaced with Obama signs. Not happy, he decided to put some of his expertise to work. He then wired up his electrical pet fence to the next sign. It wasn't long when an irate neighbor arrived complaining strongly that his son had been zapped. He stated that the boy had only been interested in the construction of the sign. ...The sheriff has decided not to press charges.
