I am ebarassed that the same women who were supporters of Hillary clinton would switch to support Palin simply because she is a woman. Isn’t that what feminist are trying to fight, to look at the candidate rather than the sex? If that is so, and someone was supporting Hillary Clinton, how in the world could they support Palin?

Just for the record, Obama will lower taxes for a vast majority of americans. In fact, I’d bet everyone who has posted on this thread will pay less. Asumming no one here makes more then 2 million.

Please, women, use your heads. Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton. John Mccain’s age
and physical health could send Palin right into the presidency. This woman has a degree in journalism and took 6 years to finish her education. Do you want her running this country? Don’t be fooled by a pretty face and strong personality.She will take away a women’s right to choose. Wake up, don’t make the same mistake this country made 8 years ago.

So liberal minded women are supposed to vote for a conservative minded woman just because she is a woman? Dumb-da-dumb-dumb-dumb.

i’ve heard many republican strategists even claiming Palin has more experience than Biden. because her’s is EXECUTIVE experience? so then okay, if that’s the case, then i guess she also has MORE EXPERIENCE THAN MCCAIN! because last time i checked he was a senator, too (non-executive). so using their logic, Palin should be on the top of their ticket and McCain VP. sounds preposterous, right?

Janet said it best. PTA and Mayor of Moosetown and Governor of a small (pop.) state for barely over 1 1/2 years (and besides pregnant 9 months of that, so i think there were somes extended breaks besides) does NOT a President make. maybe a few “love” her, but i think most will in fact dismiss her as NOT A GOOD CHOICE TO BE ONE BREATH AWAY….

The worst political article I’ve ever read. Get a grip, folks. The 60’s are over. All politicians are evil, and Obama is not the savior. Get over it. They’re all liars, cheaters, and they all owe favors. People who get their political information from Rolling Stone are sad excuses for American citizens and shouldn’t even bother to vote, because you’ll be disappointed to find out that the world will never be perfect and no one man or woman will ever be the solution.

“Rocking the vote” did wonders last election, I love watching these musicians keep making asses of themselves every election. Keep up the good work, RS!

How is Chris Walla, the singer of an emo band–oh, excuse me, a rock band–qualified to write about politics. But I pose a bigger question: Who cares about his opinion? Plus, Moby is blogging at Blender, big surprise? Their writing is kitschy and annoying; everyone get your news from a respectable source (slate.com, CNN.com).

Who did RS get to cover the Republican Convention?

Obama is just an empty suit. Period.This person should not be anywhere near the White House. Talk about reckless!

Picking Sarah Palin is an insulting, not to mention incredibly irresponsable move on McCains part. The only possible reason for picking her is a quick grab for loose Hillary votes. To think they would go from her to a woman who opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest is blatently doughting their intelligence. I know setting up a bake sale is a pain, and making sure roads are plowed in Alaska must be hell, but the middle east might require a bit more grit. And please don’t say “What about Obama’s experiance?”, he has more than Bill Clinton did before he took office. Obama/Biden combined experience, 40 years. McCain/Palin combined experience, 26 years.

I cannot imagine a more cynical pick than Sarah Palin, as if American women won’t use their brains to vote for the team that will act in their best interest, but be swayed by cuteness.

Really enjoyed the Walla series; love the irony of the McCain ads on the same page as his posts.

I’m not suggesting that Obama is the “be-all and end-all.” But what I am suggesting is that if anyone is actually FOR McCain, they are likely uninformed, ignorant and in denial. There IS no other explanation.

People keep talking about the fear of Democrats raising taxes. What the hell do you think pays for your stupid war in Iraq? Beer can pop-tops? What money is bailing out the financial institutions and subsidizing big oil? TAXES!!!

Were it not for these Republican sponsored welfare programs, we’d have the money to look out for the welfare of Americans who are actually paying the bill.

“Praise the Lord and protect unborn children. Just don’t ask me to support or educate them.”

Perhaps you Republicans should read more and turn off that “fair and balanced” network.

“Another extremely biased democrat writer who doesnt care that obama will hike up our taxes and spend way too much money.”

Yeah, as opposed to the Bush administration, who bankrupted our country by lowering taxes while pissing away billions and billions of dollars in Iraq. Let’s have more of that, please!

ag=douchebag millionaire afraid of losing his tax shelters

Interesting that McCain put so much emphasis on his supposed “experience” - and yet selects a VP who has only 1.5 years of experience being a governor for a sparsely populated state. She can absolutely be dismissed. At 72, McCain has a higher probability of dying - and yet he recklessly chooses someone who would not be ready to lead.

AG@ How much money has Bush spent on his discretionary war folly?

seems to me you forget she is the only one of the four to run a goverment the others just make laws she has executive exp obama none!

another extremely biased democrat writer who doesnt care that obama will hike up our taxes and spend way too much money

“While I find John McCain’s decision dangerously close to the precipice of evil”

That is just laughable.

I think that her selection is an insult to the intelligence of Americans who have some. And we keep hearing that Biden can’t attack her. Not true. She’s in the ring, she will get punched. The media is excited about this. The American people are not.

McCain chose a novice politician to help him run the country. Obama is a novice politician who wants to run the country.

You guys at RS should make Walla a permanent fixture. He’s an excellent writer.

This series of blogs is why I’m taking Rolling Stone off my feeds list. He’s kissing Obama’s ass pretty hard. I hope McCain wins just so the blogger moves away.
