Messiah. Her executive experience as a Mayor and a Governor is far superior to a "community leader and 143 day Senator". If he is "qualified" to be President, she is MORE than qualified to be VP Sorry Anthony(L.A.), but I’ll take GOVERNOR Palin

any day compared to little ol Sen. Messiah.

Her executive experience as a Mayor and a Governor

is far superior to a “community leader and 143 day

Senator”.

If he is “qualified” to be President, she is MORE than

qualified to be VP

One of the truly creepy things about the Messiah is this Maximum Leader gestalt that He and His followers want to create for Him. No criticism (racism), no humor (again, racism), no comparison (once again, racism), no examination (guess what - racism again).

The GOP does not suffer from too much internal criticism – rather, rank and file Republicans have too often been silent when they should have spoken up about the dangerous drift of the GOP leadership. They cannot campaign like Republicans, govern like Democrats, and then expect no negative consequences at election time. I don't expect McCain to change his position on issues like immigration and global warming, but unless he makes clear distinctions between himself and the Chosen One <strong><em>and continues to hammer Him on those differences no matter how much the MSM shrieks</em></strong>, McCain will be on the short end of a devastating landslide (good news – a 57-state sweep is probably not in the cards).

The situation with Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens shows a good way for her to do it, too: It's too late for Palin to register as a candidate in the primary, but, assuming Stevens wins it, party heavyweights could persuade him to withdraw, letting a special committee of the Alaska Republican Party appoint her in his place on the ballot. With her approval ratings, Palin is a near shoo-in. She would save a "safe" seat that's now seriously threatened, and she could gain national exposure. Sounds like a good deal to me. :d/ I still think Palin needs more experience under her belt before becoming first-in-line for the Presidency, though she shows a lot of potential.

“Desperately seeking Sarah

By Stephan Andrew Brodhead

Desperately seeking Sarah
Americans need a little Palin Power

Sarah Palin the current Governor of Alaska is John McCain’s ultimate choice for VP. I do believe a woman is next in line for the presidency. All Conservatives like her. She is popular in Alaska. Hillary supporters would relish her. She would solidify a 12 or possibly 16 year Republican executive.

John McCain’s boring campaign is wearing thin. I need a little Palin Power to get me interested again. They would say ‘but she is only a half term Governor!’ And your point is?”
