    that John McCain will not pick Romney, Pawlenty, or Huckabee. It seems that he will pick Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska. But according to ABC news Palin will be keeping her same schedule that she had planned and will be going to the Alaska State Fair. And ABC also states that the candidates Fox considered gone are still on McCain's list. McCain will make his announcement today at 12 noon Eastern Time.

    I have to agree with his choice as Huckabee was the worst choice anyone could make and the other two were not such good choices. She may actually boost his campaign more.

    Sorry about my ignorance but have we ever had a Female Vice President?

    I think that it's great that he picked a woman as his running mate. From what I've seen of her, it seems like she would do really well as his running mate.

    She would probably be a better running mate than any of those other guys.

    lmfao...

    To be honest, I think McCain went for a stretch here. It seems sort of desperate that he'd go pick some hockey mom from Alaska who has even less experience than Obama as a VP. She lacks foreign policy and (I think) home security experience the latter being vital to the McCain agenda. I'm actually really pumped for the VP debate. I view myself as a democrat so this may be biased but I just think Biden is a better debater.

    i don't know either of those two VP so i dont' have an opinion on them at all. but both Obama and Mc Cain chose shocking choices for VP. but i think they both did that just for the publicity, that's what it seems like to me.

    Joe Biden isn't shocking in the same sense as Sarah Palin. It's obvious that this is an attempt to win over the disappointed Hillary supporters. During one of her introductory speeches, she said something along the lines of "the women still have a chance in this election," which is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, a lot of woman initially voted for Hillary because they thought it would be cool to see a woman in the white house, but gender alone doesn't cut it. Palin is almost the polar opposite of Clinton.

    Chances are some Hillary supporters will fall for this trick, but the majority will see through it. You only have to hear her speak for a minute to know that Palin and Clinton disagree on pretty much everything XD Hopefully, female Hllary supporters will see this as an insult to their intelligence (which it is, since John McCain had no other reason to select her for VP other than to gain more votes from women), and will be drawn away from him (yes, I don't like MCCain). There were plenty of other good choices, but he chose someone who barely anyone has heard of before now. John McCain is pretty old, and I think he has Cancer, so if he dies in office, that means she's going to be President. I could be wrong, but I don't think she's a good choice for Vice President, and certainly not President.

    Indeed, it was a smart choice of McCain to pick Sarah Palin, I think most people were Hillary Supporters anyway and don't like Obama or don't trust him to run the country, so they'll pick McCain instead, and since she's probably the first woman to run for Vice President it would strengthen McCain's votes. I did hear on the news that McCain was starting to lead the polls slightly. But which is better, a inexperienced President, or inexperienced Vice President?

    I loved her quote ont he Daily Show...

    "As for the rumors about my being selected for VP, I don't think i can asnwer those questions until someone actually tells me what it is the VP does on a day to day basis."

    ...Oh nothing, just preparing to be the MOST POWERFUL PERSON ON THE PLANET, on the off chance the guy above you dies...and...*cough*. Pretty high chance of that actually.

    lol, I saw that. I also watched The Colbert Report afterwards. He responded with something like "all you have to do is (forgot first thing) and shoot people in the face."
