I think Palin was being booed not Hillary. In any case Palin is perhaps less qualified than Joe Biden's son:

Senator McCain ,the oldest first-term president in history, what if he had to step down due to ill health, if he loves our country like he says he does, why would he choose an inexperienced person to deal with such serious times, Is his VP pick ready to deal with terrorism,be commander of our wonderful brave fighting men and women in uniform, Russian conflicts, North Korea, Katrina like events, China polices,our economy, this inexperienced person would hold the future of our great country in her inexperienced hockey mom hands. To me this is very frightening.She may be a nice lady but I am concerned deeply about the experience factor.

I am constantly amazed at the lack of judgement from the McCain camp. Did they really think they could use Hillary in such a manner? Is this glass ceiling bit going to be Palin's only claim to fame in this campaign? McCain can't be serious if he thinks he can just place a pair of random ovaries next to him and expect the women to swarm his way.

I find it very interesting that the Obmaamaniacs are trying to act like they aren't the least bit concerned about Sarah Palin and yet they're comming unglued and they're too stupid to realize that they're not fooling anyone.

The reason the Obama folks are chomping at the bit is because they're very concerned. They really believe in their warped minds that there is absolutely no way that Obama can lose. They believe it's his/their God given RIGHT for him to be POTUS.

They all need a BIG FAT reality check slap in the face and they're all going to get one on NOV 4th.

It looks like Gov. Palin is the darling of all corporate media now. Instead of giving time to Obama after his fabulous speech Thursday night, Friday and Saturday have been given to McCain/Palin. Political bias is alive and well in Medialand. I'm not surprised given that the same corporations who run the media are also running the war and the Republican party.

Has it come to anyones attention that maybe the reason Palin was picked was because of her corporate ties with big oil and her pursuit of drilling in the Anwar Preserve. Don't think that those oil people who are behind Bush/Cheney will be gone with the next election. They are deeply entrenched in the Republican party. With a Republican V.P., especially from Alaska, the only people to benifit will be the Alaskans, as a portion of the profit from Alaskan oil goes directly to the Alaskan people. Oil companies will profit from more Alaskan oil, but we in the lower 48 won't see any of that oil, because it all goes to Japan. High oil prices are a win/win situation for Alaskans. You don't see them complaining as year after year they elect Republicans to office.

Obama/Biden for real change!

No one knows Palin, and like wise Palin has never met any of the important political players, Dems or Republicans. From Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Tom Ridge, Joe Biden, Barrack Obama etc etc, she is unknown to all. Even McCain has only met this Gov twice in his life! Don't need a lot of research on the web to find out Alaska's papers are noting her approval rating of 90% was before the "investigation". It is now down to around 67%. She's the Gov of a state smaller than Brooklyn! By the way, who else has ever used the rise from PTA HOCKEY MOM to VP as a platform??? Did I mention her hometown is not a city? Population 5500??? Sounds like a "village"? Pretty scary! This woman has NO CREDENTIALS! Will she say "YUP" when asked if she's ready to negotiate with Putin? According to People Magazine, that's exactly what she said!

I have lived all 25 years of my life in alaska. The Majority of this state has been burning for the growth of its natural resources and be given the opportunity to ease addiction of foriegn oil that is powering the United States today. Palin can be considered a blessing to politics, bringing a well defined stance on all the major and important issues most candidates squirm around (example: abortion, Marriage rights, ETC). I Recommend for EVERYONE to take the opportunity to read up on the accomplishments Palin has achieved in the time she has had in office and compare it to basically any other politician you see today. You give her the time, and she will deliver. She is one politician that it true to her word. ROCK ON!

Sarah Palin has to be a joke. McCain could have chosen one of several substantive female veeps, as in Elizabeth Dole, Kay Bailey Hutchison or Susan Collins. Any one of them would have been better than a Palin. Women will not view this well, if there is one thing we hate is seeing older more experienced women being passed up for promotion by an inexperience younger prettier woman.

You can't appeal to the far right and Hillary's sisterhood at the same time.

I'm waiting for John McCain's "I promise not to die" speach.

Do we want to place the fate of our soldiers in this woman's hands? Do want her in the war room making national security decisions?

American soldiers are over their putting their lives on the line for the safety of our nation in his unecessary war and this is how McCain shows his respect for them?

I guess if something happens to McCain, the rest of us just don't matter. This is all about him...this is not about the people and it is certainly not about the sacrafices our troops have made.

Obama/Biden is the rational ticket...

We can now add...

John McCain is crazy and Barack Obama is not!

Drilling down deeper it almost seems like the Gov. of Alaska has some answering to do with those down home issues...firings, misuse of power, endorsements, big oil profits, fast tracking, what cronies you've said you took care of,...etc...
Have the people of Alaska paid John to take this person off their shoulders...they need a new governor to replace this anti museum, gun shooting, fisher person, soccer mom, want-a-be VP fake.
I believe she has no clue what she's being used for by Johnny boy.. No wonder Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson passed it by...That's a whole other topic...
I just watched how quickly the reaction timing was on this whole calling and the scripted bullet points that cantered in front of the cameras so sweetly. You could almost smell it through the TV set...
I didn't know they could pile it so high in Ohio..!

I find this to convenient to be true...John McCain needs a side kick to take the heat away...
John are you that willing to allow shots to taking by your VP choice and don't want to deal with issues of America?...talk about denial....
What ever happened to the tough GOP ..Those guys that didn't have to run away from the issues...

John's making great strides to run a solid campaign..but this running mess does not look presidential at all.. It looks more like training camp for want-a-be defenders of the greed...

In conclusion, we can not afford government 101 classes to be canceled while real life problems pile up at the door steps of our leaders. This is exactly what happened before 9/11. Zero intelligence meets I'm going to get you at the time you have no clue of...
We all remember what Bush was doing when the planes crashed..He was talking to a bunch of primary kids.
Let's elect a President that keeps us all in the loop, one that works to keep our country secure.
And we all know who is ready to go and to just that..
Not someone leaning on soccer moms, but some one leaning with Joe Biden next to the helm.. .. ..

I understand why some people who supported Hillary in the primaries are upset and feel reluctant to get behind Obama. I imagine I'd feel the same way about getting behind Hillary if the tables were turned. But before her supporters rush to embrace McCain, I wish they would remember how Republicans used to treat her. This should serve as a pretty good reminder. As someone who has defended Hillary against sexist Republican bullshit for years, I find it sickening to see them suddenly latch onto her and portray her as a victim and try to exploit her to gain votes. And to see some Clinton supporters fall for it hook, line and sinker is appalling.

I viewed the event a short time ago.

Perhaps the Republicans will discover that their "base" serves to undermine the hope of harvesting Hillary supporters (or indeed any undecided voters) when they boo the standard-bearer of female issues.

Gov. Palin went blithfully on with her points list, which showed that her salute to Ferraro and Clinton was hollow, shallow and insulting to intelligent women voters.

The introduction of Palin and her laundry list of self-congratulatory comments were equally insulting. The prom queen mentality of Palin was breath taking.

How dare Sarah Palin compare herself to Hillary Clinton. She is not Hillary in any shape,form, or any other way except by gender. It is a INSULT to the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA what the Republicans and John McCain are trying to do. I do not blame Ms. Palin herself but lets be real. She is in no way qualified to be "ONE HEART BEAT AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES.
Let's face it, John McCain is 72 years old with a broken body due to his prisoner of war hostage years(which does make him a true hero but does not alone qualify one to be President). He has a severe form of Cancer in which the long term prognosis is not too good. I do not think that the American People want to trust OUR COUNTRY to a unqualified person to be just a heart beat away from running the Country and to protect us in these trying times.
Thank You Barack O'Bama for your pick of a running mate in Joe Biden, who would be ready to assume the number one slot if something were to happen to you. I hope that all those who are running for office will have a safe and healthy journey but it is too big of a gamble not to have a qualified person waiting in the wings so to speak

"It was seen as a smart political gesture" Oh yeah? Most of what I've read calls it a cheap gimmick. Palin's to the far right, anti-abortion even in cases of rape, incest or the health of the mother. She doesn't believe global warming is man made, and believes creationalism should be taught in schools. She defends Bush's tax cuts and his Iraq strategy based on the fact "we haven't been attacked since we invaded Iraq." Her approval rating in Alaska is not 80% but 65% and falling fast. Sarah has 66 days until her 15 minutes are up.

I truly believe that Palin was chosen simply because she is a woman! She has nothing other than that going for her. This is the very reason why so many women wept and boohooed like babies when Hillary was not chosen to be Obamas's running mate. Women didn't really care about Hillary's politics, they only want a woman in the White House. If any of Hillary's "devoted 18 million" vote for McCain, that will prove that they did not give a darn about Hillary, they just wanted a WOMAN in the White House. What Palin offers amounts to nothing. McCain is off balance, and "does not get it!"

Today was the first day I listened to Palin for any length of time. Beside the fact that she's completely unlistenable and has about zero charisma, her shameless pandering to Clinton voters really did blow up in her face.

I find it odd that she keeps invoking Clinton's name considering her bashing of Clinton during the primaries for whining, saying she did a disservice to women.

When everyone booed Clinton's name, she didn't stop them like Obama did, she plowed through with her grating cliche of a speech.

He cares not one whit about putting millions of Americans at risk by selecting this woman. She is already under investigation by her own state and hasn't even been on the job for 2 years! We already have two politicans in the White House that should be impeached. We don't need another.

So what if she kept a disabled baby--thousands of Americans face these challenges daily. She is no more special then they are in their struggles.

Mccain abandons his disabled wife for a younger, richer woman, and now he abandons all sense and reason in choosing a running mate.
Does he seriously think that palin can pass as an authentic politician comparable to Senator Clinton? What an insult.

Sarah Palin comes off as so sugary sweet it could make you sick.

Isn't she from the far right wing Republican party that touts "family first, and family values" etc., yet clearly her political ambition is much greater than her desire to help her son. I love the constant double standard of the Republicans...they always secure their own interests before those of others. Has anyone mentioned/noticed that Ms. Palin thinks that the worldwide global warming problem is a total hoax? UNBELIEVABLE!!! This "hockey mom" is no more ready for Washington than I am, and i have almost the same credentials she does. BEWARE OF VOTING FOR THIS TICKET!!! I sure hope all the women who were Hillary backers are seeing this Republican ploy for what it is...pandering to whichever group you think will win you the votes. I have been voting Republican for my entire life, but NO MORE!! The evangelicals have got a stranglehold on everything John McCain does, and they are the ones who forced him to choose her.

I feel insulted as a woman that the McCain camp has pulled this obvious stunt. There's got to be many better Republican choices that would shore up the McCain ticket on Policy.

I watched Sarah Palin get elected in Alaska becuase she is pretty and perky. I did not vote for her, and although I am not a republican, I am not paticularily dissatisfied with her performance as Governor.

However, I am concerned about the investigation currently underway regarding the firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. http://www.adn.com/monegan/story/478090.html

This Palin pick only demonstrates that McCain is out of touch with not only the economy, but national security and foreign policy. It is a pick that thumbs his nose at everything that is sacred and important in this country, including every woman of substance and especially of the life and career of Hillary Clinton. Obviously, John McCain thinks it is only interior plumbing that makes a woman important, impressive and capable of being in line for the most important job in the land. Andrea Mitchell or Rachel Maddow would have made much better choices, not to denigrate the attributes, intelligence and knowledge of those two fine broadcasters, but they sure do know a lot more about what's going on than McCain's pick.

The best way to save the Republican Party now is to destroy it. In the marketplace of ideas, social conservatism is a viral infection contaminating the GOP. It represents an evolutionary dead-end whose logical conclusion is fascism if not outright totalitarianism. Is it not obvious that the imposition of the evangelical ideology--any fundamentalist ideology for that matter--lies in direct opposition to a free people in a democratic land? Our Constitution, specifically the separation of church and state, no longer serves as a bulwark against the morality police, who seek to impose faith-based notions such as creationism upon those of us with rational minds. Social conservatives aim to constrain freedom of thought, freedom of choice, freedom to pursue happiness. These freedoms live at the heart of an entrepreneurial and economically strong America. No doubt, the diktat the social conservative movement wishes to impose upon ALL us Americans is antithetical to a free market system, and therefore exists as hypocrisy within the Republican platform. Privatize profits, socialize losses, and make religion the opiate of the masses. Indeed, this has been a dark eight years of Orwellian doubletalk. Enough! I’m a Reagan Republican and I’m voting for Libertarian Bob Barr.

The "buzz" all day has been how tricky and clever this VP choice is.

I don't appreciate "tricky" and "clever" when it comes to my family and my grandson fighting in Iraq.

Has anyone stopped to consider how the soldiers fighting McCain's unecessary war must feel right now?

He would risk their safety and all their sacrafices for the sake of a political move?

What are they to do if he doesn't survive his term?

Are they to depend on a soccer mom or excuse me a hockey mom to lead the US military in a time of war?

This is a slap in the face to military families and the sacrafices that have been made.

He is a selfish old man who has completely unraveled as a legitimate candidate.

Palin seems like a fine choice but as a lifelong Republican, having suffered through 8 long years of the Clinton sleaze machine, I really don't want to be reminded any more about Billary and their insane grabs for power. Palin should just stick to her positions and she and McCain will prevail.

Out of everything that was discussed, you report that there were boos when Hillary Clinton's name was mentioned by Governor Palin?! I guess no one should be surprised since you idiots are in the tank for Obama and want to portray dislike with Hillary Clinton by the Republicans. It is amazing the lack of professional journalism that MSNBC/CNN/NBC/CBS and ABC have shown throughout this whole process. Surprise! Surprise!

Do you seriously think she will have an impact? Could she really cut into the women's vote because she is a woman? I would like to believe that we are not that gullible. However, there are some low information voters...but no, I'm going to believe that the american people are smarter than that. Palin is against everything Senator Clinton stood for! Again, don't believe the hype...

McCain should be ashamed of himself. He and he TWO Beauty queens. I used to be a repub.(Now an indep.) You have insulted women. America's women. Your henchmen will say great choice but even they are biting there nails hoping this garbage works. I want it to be said that I am not mad a Palin. I am mad at the fact that John McCain thinks that the intellegence of American women is so shallow that they will fall for this equivilent of a gas tax holiday.(which never happened by the way because it was also garbage and an insult to America's intellegence.) You just failed my friend. I was reading up on what she stands for. No equal pay for women and men. She is for overturning a women's right to choose what happens with her body even if she it RAPED. I have daughters Mr. McCain. How dare you. And than pandering to evangelicals. Well you just solidified a lot of peoples votes. OBAMA BIDEN. they stand for something. They stand for America. And the American dream. You sir have forgoten where you came from.

If Sarah Palin is a "fan" of Tom Ridge, doesn't that make Tom Ridge a (gasp) celebrity? And, doesn't that also make Sarah Palin appear more like a star-struck school girl than a Vice President?

McCain has said that his first criteria for a VP will be to pick someone who can step in and run this country!

He will lose all the military families on this one...our kids are over there with their lives on the line and McCain is playing politics with their safety.

People keep saying that voters are voting for the top of the ticket. Well voters need to consider that the VP is next in line and we are at war with terrorists!

Our soldiers have sacraficed so much and they are counting on us to make good judgements in regards to their sacrafice and the sacrafices of their families.

Shame on John McCain...if something were to happen to him...our troops would be completely vulnerable...he is supposed to be the one who knows and understands the world?

He has shaken things up alright...

I guess we are not allowed to question his patriotism...but if the shoe fits someone has to say it!

She is a One speak canidate. I watched on Saturday and saw the crowd booing Ferraro and CLinton.
Now the true colors of her supporters are showing. These people are the Clinton haters of the 90's.
This is what you will put back into office if you move the McCain ticket.
Women you have a serious question to ask ourselfs. Do we want a women VP with no experience and is is against all the things Obama/Biden are for especially womens rights or a Women in office.

I have to question why she gave nearly the same speech. She is new on the national skyline; she needs to make sure that she shows how dynamic an orator she is. These first few appearances need to be dynamic.

I wonder why she is flattering Clinton supporters
while she labelled Clinton as a whinner during
the primary. McCain decieved me by choosing a
this chic without any foreign policy experience
which was his strenght against Obama for the
last couple months. That's a shame McCain.

I thought the Republicans couldn't add anymore to the "sureal-ness" of the last 7 years. If John McCain thinks that Palin will pull women from Hillary's camp....he must be smoking something very strong indeed. And to top it off, he must realize that he has given up ANY more criticism of Obama's percieved lack of experience.

Wow! This is really bizzare!

I feel sorry for her. They say nobody turns down the VP position but maybe she should have thought long and hard. She is obviously a great politician/woman/athlete/person but for her to align herself with John McCain's campaign really make me question her credibility.

Her selection seems like a reaction to the Barack Obama speech at the DNC convention. Basically she is just being used. I'd consider voting for her if she was on the top of the ticket and not just a token.

Natasha — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 01:00:59 GMT

She did the right thing to ignore them and go on with her speech.

Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palin are all remarkable ladies - they certainly have my admiration and respect.

I know at least 4 Hillary Clinton supporters who were not sure if they would vote for McCain or Obama in November. They will vote for McCain now that Governor Palin is on the Republican ticket.

Congratulations Governor Palin!!!!

Go get 'em !!!!!!!!

P.S. I am not surprised that MSNBC did not miss the chance to "highlight" the "boos" as if that is the only thing that happened. I am not surprised that they are not referring at all to the specifics of her speech which in my opinion was an excellent speech. They mentioned that it was the same as the one she gave on Friday... It is amazing that Barack Obama has been giving the same speech over and over around the country - speaking on and on - just so he can hear himself talking and MSNBC has not mention the facy that he is the one that in fact sounds like a briken record without telling how he plans to pay for his "miracles" once elected. I guess he has a magic wand... MSNBC start scrutinizing Obama as much you have criticized and scrutinized Hillary Clinton and now Governor Palin. MSNBC is full of male sauvinists with the exception perhaps of Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw. In a way I feel sorry for these two working for this left-wing liberal circus such as MSNBC. They are a disgrace to serious journalism.
