I really like her!!! (still not voting for McCain though!).... but Sarah Palin is great.  One of my BFF's works for her (kind of a secretarial position) and she says that Sarah is the real deal... always kind and a super sweetheart.  She has been good for Alaska so far too- has about a 80% approval rating.  Recently, she worked to push through a plan that will give all alaskan citizens (including my kids!) a check for $1200 to help with 'energy relief' (gas prices, electric bills, etc)... so we'll be getting that money in mid September.  She has 5 kids and her husband is referred to as the 'First Dude'  lol.  Her youngest child was just born in April (only 4 mo old)- and he has down syndrome.  She is a strong Christian and is vocal about her Christian values.  Very Pro-Family, Pro-life.  


My only concern about her would be that she has very little experience in the international sense.  I just worry that McCain is so old- he may kick the bucket soon and then we'd have Sarah (who I love), but I just think she isnt ready to be president, kwim?

I am sure she is smart, especially when it comes to the oil industry. However, her work with "Feminists for Life", a group that advocates banning all abortion even if in cases of rape or the mother's life in danger--is a bit scary. She will set women back a good 30-40 years if she gets her way in this area.

that is true, she is very pro-life..... so if you are pro-choice, the McCain/Palin is probably not the best choice on that issue!

I'm not a fan.  I didn't vote for her for governor, but think she has done an okay job.  She's done some pretty crappy things though.  Like cutting funds going to a homeless shelter for teenagers in Anchorage, but funding a sports arena in her home town. Suspicious.  Also that whole bullying a librarian thing was a real turnoff.  And now we have troopergate.  Interesting to note that a large majority of Alaskans believe she is lying about her involvement with that.  Probably why she is trying to stall the investigation by hiring a private attorney.  Anyway, I don't think she's even remotely qualified to be VP.  And for the record, living near Russia does NOT equal foreign policy experience.  What a ridiculous assertion from the GOP.  If that's the case, maybe I should be running for VP.
