McCain Did It!!!!
Filed under: John McCain
We can't help but to be excited about this!
John McCain has chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his Vice Presidential running-mate, the Associate Press is reporting.
This is historic!!!!
In January, we will either have our first African-American President or our first female Vice-President!!!!!!!!!!!
Walls are being broken down and ceilings shattered in America.

He will do anything to desperately try and grab Hillary's supporters. Too little too late!
THAT JUST MADE MY DECISION.
"Oprobama" should have done it first!!!!!! Chickenshit.
Top that Mr. 1/2 African American.
is this the CNN blog?
Pretty cool! On another note, I'm getting tired of being assaulted by images of big, bare asses on your side ads. I mean, c'mon! Washboard stomachs are cool. Pale, naked asses are not.
Slick Bastard!
mccain really is a true scumbag politician.
honestly i think it's great he picked a woman but had the circumstances have been different and obama wasn't running and he knew that the democratic party has been torn with the nomination he definitely would not be picking a woman.
shes from the middle of nowhere alaska, and a republican.
republican right there should just stop you dead in your tracks. the last thing we need is another douchebag in office thats only gunna look out for his rich friends and family. fuck that.
This is really exciting news!
I can't wait to see what happens next!!
Kinda feel sorry for Sarah, never knowing wheter she's the real number one or just an excuse-goat to steal Obama's historic achievement.
She is really big on cutting taxes and government spending.
Well I guess this evens things out…Obama bombed by chosing Diden and McCain bombs by chosing this fish.
Let the battles begin.
As an American Indian, Im proud of you America!!!! Let us strive to make this nation as "free" as we appear.
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
GO, McCAIN!!! YOU'RE THE FACE I TRUST!!!
So much for the GOP's "experience" critique… Palin would be a heartbeat (or lack thereof) away from the presidency, and she has even LESS experience than Barack Obama. Oh, and HAPPY 72ND BIRTHDAY, JOHN MCCAIN!
please no more politics until after the erection! i'm so fucking tired of both fucking sides and it doesn't matter anyway. All those mf'ers are the same.
I don't think is a smart move from McCain…
*
*
McCain has to eat his own words for Obama's lack of experience because Palin has the same experience on foreign policy as any of us do!
*
*
What does she know about running a country???
Such a great choice - she's brilliant. She's also an ass-kicker without being a bitch. I'm such a fan.
How do like us now Bitches!
and if hillary's supporters vote for mccain just because there is a woman there they will see what a mistake they are making when our country continues to go to shit.
this woman is completely different in every way from clinton so if they vote for this chick just because she's a woman and they are getting back at obama for winning then thats just bullshit. Obama and clinton have very similar visions. a republican wont. so people need to think of that before they go to the other side just cuz of this crap.
*

what does it say about her commitment to politics…to people who elect her, if after less than 2 years she is abandoning Alaska?!?!?
*
*
What does this say of her commitment to voters?!?!?!?
*
*
SHE'S BEING INVESTIGATED FOR ABUSING HER POWER(SOUND FAMILIAR?) …NICE CHOICE MCSAME YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON!!!
Who tthe f u c k is Diden?
Excellent choice!
I'm more torn that ever…
Yup, a private plane from Anchorage arrived this morning here in Dayton. =)
So on McCain's 72nd birthday he picks a VP who is 28 years younger, has a thinner resume than Barack Obama AND is currently under investigation in the state of Alaska for cronyism? In addition, Palin is a SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE so for Hillary voters who want a woman in office THIS IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE!! I thought McCain was running on experience? Palin has exactly 2 years of executive experience!
I don't buy it…bring on the debates! Obama/Biden '08!
Oh, and Cindy might want to watch out…we know McCain isn't exactly known for his fidelity in his relationships.
HaHaHa. I've been watching CNN all morning. No one EVEN Republican has legitimately heard of her!!! She's a mother of 5, and has only been Gov. of Alaska since '06. Nice going- HaHaHa!
Congrats McCain!….but Obama 08!
LOL, he cannot attack Obama on experience any more!
… and the republicans would have NEVER done it if a black man wasn't running against them… they don't have an original bone in their collective body… She just had a baby and @ 44 so she should stay her ass at home and practice what she preaches to her contituants. And she does NOT support a woman's right to choose.
and who the f u c k wants Susan Lucchi as Vice President?
It's about time!!!
Re: llllllllll – "THIS FISH"….LoL…it'd been a hot minute since I'd heard that term used like that.
I think this is great. I love America…
Never heard of her until now.
Is this a political site now???
This is great, but is he adding her to his list b/c she's a woman and he wants Hillary's supporters or did he add her b/c she's a great candidate?
Woah who the heck is she? I can't believe he did that, still not voting for him but good for him
except it's ALL political to try to get Obama's votes, even though the bitch is staunchly anti-abortion. She has ZERO experience. Ha, bad for McCain.
I think it is rediculous to act like this woman being VP is a good thing…. McCAIN as President is THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO THIS COUNTRY!!!!!! i guess this just goes to prove that the majority of americans are really stupid and dont really care to know what is really going on! Republicans are only out to keep the rich safe and make life for us normal people HELL!!!!! Seriously people! Has the past 8 years really been good for you?! GET A GRIP!!!!!! FUCK McCain and this stupid woman!!!!!!!
How is McCain making history by picking a female VP pick? Dems did that years ago…this is just pandering to Hillary's core base. This move will not shake up the race, just allows the Reps to go into their convention chanting 'History', which is simply not the case (unless Hillary's base jumps camp & they win, but I think this is highly unlikely).
yessss! go mccain!!!
i'm so happy that a woman is running for VP (:
Well, those idiot Hillary supporters who refuse to put their support in Obama just found their white woman to gush all over.
McCain is toast.
Re: TRUTHHURTS – Gee, what nerve of Perez to ask us to actually think about something monumentally important instead of mindless gossip. Who does he think he is?

I CAN'T RECALL EVER SEEING
A DUMBER LOOKING BITCH!!!

Mc Stupid is just trying to steal the votes Hilary got… This women is connected to oil…REPUBLICANS SUCK ASS!!!
Re: PrincessAndrea – oh please! what does it say about Osama to "leave" the poor folks of Illinois. That's pathetic.
this is so desperate!
Re: Lor – haha - look at the libtards throw away their values and start trashing women now that one is running for VP as a Republican. hypocrite.
That fucks with my mind. I know John used to be a good man, so I don't know if this is because something inside of him is still ok, or that he's just trying to get undecides. Either way, well played.
Wow, that is a desperate move on his part.
-
-
And not a paritcularly wise one — lots of the republican's abandoning ship are men - due to the ECONOMY — they don't want "Mc-Same"
-
-
And MOST importantly — what is old crypt keeper McCain dies?? NOVICE in white house??? That would REALLY be serious.
Re: Andy27 –
agreed
WOW I can totally say I am going to get into the election a little more!!! This could be almost as good as UFC!
HE'S FUCKING HER AND HE'S A DESPERATE REPTILIAN
PHENOMENAL!!! I'm so excited that McCain chose Palin for VP. She's an extraordinary woman - I love that fact that she's not afraid to blow the whistle on other Republicans who act unethically. She's just the sort of person the Republican party needs. As an independent I've been on the fence on who I'm voting for but now the verdict's in…McCain/Palin all the way!
He may have just handed the race to Obama. Thank God. This woman is not qualified to step in as President should something happen to McCain and considering his age thats a good possibility. You always have to consider that when choosing a VP. Biden could be President. Palin could not.
Palin was a PHENOMINAL pick.
She's an amazing woman with a fantastic history.
I couldn't be more happy with his choice!!!
very strategic, yet BLATANTLY desperate move on mccain's part. doesn't matter, anyway. Barack Obama is going to be the next President Of The United States. all you haters may as well start getting used to seeing the name 'President Obama' all over the country.
OBAMA '08

Palin's term has not been without controversy. A legislative investigation is looking into allegations that Palin fired Alaska's public safety commissioner because he refused to fire the governor's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.
*
*
A member of her staff made a call to a trooper in which the staffer suggested he was speaking for the governor.

Somewhere Hillary screaming her head off right now!
Re: Andy27 – you are a really big idiot, one of a millions of americans that shouldn't really be apart of this country for being such a stupid racist! the face you trust?! do you watch anything but fox news?! do yourself a favor, find out the truth before you make stupid comments like that. You are either a racist or one of those rich fucks in which case i still feel sorry for you because you have no clue as to what life is really about.
This is not good news. Although it would be great to have the first female VP, Ms. Palin has done nothing to stop the aerial wolf slaughter of entire wolf families in a most inhumane way from the air in Alaska. I won't vote for someone who endorses killing baby wolves in their den.
Oh, KENCOLE — you hit the nail on the head for the "background" of why she was chosen
-
-
– but it won't play well to republican males (and for that matter, their - at times - overly submissive wives, who'll vote as their husbands tell them to)
less experience than Obama…I would have rather seen HilDog on Obama's ticket. It great to have more history making candidates….that said, I would be worried with her taking over if McCain dies. Literally no experience (she was a mayor, then leap frogged to governor, and only a couple of years into her first time).
FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE It's soOOOOOo obvious he's only doing this to get on the Obama train. "Obama's black?, oh we'll I'll show them, I'm going to have a WOMAN vice president." I'm a woman and good for us, but it shouldn't be done for the wrong reasons. FAKE-ASS MC CAIN
YES!!! now I want McCain to win, because he will surely die of natural causes shortly after, and then the naughty librarian will be our Prez!!
Re: missjules5x –
Who are you to say he wouldnt have picked her?
Shes from Alaska, yes, but she's a PHENOMINAL politician. Just because you don't know her doesn't mean she hasn't done great things.
Re: zzzz25 – judging from your pic you are from the cancer state as well, ps, have you signed up for the War in Iraw, considering you are so blatantly willing to send others to defend your own backward thinking, and its cool if your gay, remember, don't ask, don't care…but I am sure you are on your way right now!
Re: Brandy76 – i have to agree, those asses have got to go!
I AM SHOCKED YOU ARE SO 'STOKED' PEREZ…SHE IS AGAINST GAY RIGHTS AND AGAINST A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOSE. SHE IS THE FEMALE VERSION OF MCCAIN……NOTHING MORE. MCCAIN/PALIN IS NOT A STEP FORWARD FOR HUMANKIND.
Who cares who he picks for VP. I use to be totally republican, but neither one of the guys are good for the USA. RON PAUL 08!!!!!! ha ha ha
Good move McCain. I haven't decided who I will vote for b/c unlike most of the people in the world I am not voting for who is my race, gender, etc. I vote on the real issues like what that person will do for our country unlike a lot of people in this room.
Ps. repeated posts on saying who you will vote for won't make it happen. just a heads up.
Re: zzzz25 – You're a complete IDIOT, it's not like Obama CHOSE to be black you dumb shit. McCain on the other hand is choosing a female VP to desperately swing votes. Obama doesn't need tpo prove shit by choosing a woman to be vice president, he's just being himself.
I am so excited! McCain is a smart man which means that he is more fit to run this country! Not only does he have experience but he has intelligence! Unlike Obama, who thinks flashing his race will win him the presidency.
Re: MRS.RICKY MARTIN LOVER –
is he a reptilian of the shape-shifting variety??
Re: Andy27 – is that cause yours is so awful, I assume you are trying to be McCain's Lewinsky, I am sure he would LOVE for you to suck his dick in person, since you have been doing it soooo well on this blog!
didn't see this one coming at all!
YAAAY! If Obama wouldnt take a female VP at least McCain would!
(hillary 2012) becasue obamas gonna lose!
but i will admit, ANYBODY is better than that turd mitt romney.
wow… he plays a very good game. he totally just check-mated Obama.
She is against women's right to choose (against abortion) and against GAY marriage! So what if she is female! She's a staunch Republican and McCain will do anything to win. It's a complete ploy! I am female and this would NEVER sway me to vote for McCain!!! Watch out ladies & gentlemen, this is a wolf in sheep's clothing!
wtf?? She was obviously chosen to sway hillary supporters….
Palin's NO HILLARY Mr. Mcshame!!
OBAMA 08!!!!
Re: OBAMA 08 – Good enough to steal all the stupid Hillary supporters votes. It's all over but the crying now!
wasted vote.. its overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol im so happy at his choice she has 0 experience all the barack has no experience crap has no credence now.. id love to see how this woman deals with drillin in alaska if mccain wins lmao
What is wrong with everyone? Does no one understand politics on this site? McCain seriously fucked up by choosing this woman. She has less experience than even Barack, she's under investigation in AK for cronyism, she is ultra-conservative (watch out, she wants to overturn Roe vs Wade and ban gay marriage/rights) and if McCain dies (he's old as shit) she will be our President. He was looking for the woman's vote but NO WOMAN that was debating which candidate to endorse would ever endorse McCain now that he chose this woman. He would've been better off choosing Condoleeza Rice. This just shows what an idiot he really is. Obama knows that this election isn't about him, it's about the people who have stood by him because they want change. McCain thinks that bringing this woman in will change everything for him but it will do the opposite. MCCAN'T. OBAMA 08!
I wonder how she feels about cigars!
IT' SAD, THIS MAY SWAY SOME VOTERS HIS WAY, JUST BECAUSE SHE'S A WHITE WOMAN!
Wow, talk about a purely political move. Well, I don't care. I'm voting for Obama.
He's being smart, something Obama is not very good at, it seems.
I am now undecided! Have to get more informed about this woman, VP!
i'd rather a first black president, i don't wanna have to deal with another Bush. And plus he's probably just doing this to get Hillary supporters.
obama has this election locked. i can't see any self respecting woman voting for a woman that is against a woman's right to choose.
OBAMA '08
I want to know about this lady never heard of her, anyone know anything about her? She looks somewhat hispanic. Anyways I will do my research. I have not made my choice and will not do so until Nov 3, and even then we will see if I go vote since I live in a state where my vote does not matter.
also….much will be made of whether discussing the fact that she has a newborn is sexist or not. As a mother, I can not imagine taking on the most demanding job in the country with a newborn baby (she has a four month old with downs syndrome). She was the mayor of a small town - and I would assume that being governor of Alaska does not equate to being governor of California, Texas, New York. I don't see her as a candidates with real experience - this is just an attempt for McCain to reinforce that he is a Maverick. P.S. Hillary must be furious!!!!
It doesn't matter if she wasn't his first choice. What matters is that politicians are waking up and realizing America IS ready for a change, and we are sick of old, white males in power!
Her husband works for BP! So much for being against big oil. She looks like another Katherine Harris to me.
Re: Lor – f u
I still don't get why people are voting on race? I mean why vote McCain b/c he is white? Why vote Obama b/c he is black? Which he is not black. He is mixed. And well more white then black considering his white mother and white grandparents raised him. But still, why? VOTE FOR THE REAL REASONS! Like their views on running this country. If your views fit McCain….then VOTE McCAIN. If your views fit Obama…..VOTE OBAMA. End of story.
He is using her as a PAWN. It's disgusting. Hillary's supporters are too smart to vote for someone because of their sex…she might as well take her mask off so we can realize she's the exact same as Cheney with her views. Barack is what we need to represent real change.
you people are retarded if you are "excited" by this.
"Palin has steadfastly opposed abortion"
"ethics commissioner on the state's Oil and Gas Conservation Commission."
-NPR news
this is scary if McCain wins… pro-life and pro-oil. yeah, great.
she has nothing to do with hillary's supporters.
Jesus….it's like an older version of Elizabitch Hasslecrack…
Re: imsupergeri – Just like nominating a woman as VP will get you hillary voters. Please.
I hope everyone is registered to vote!!! This election is going to be VERY close.
