My fear too but I doubt it because she's a woman. This is kind of a dream ticket for me. I'm really excited.

I don't put much stock in her supposed social coservatism. As we've seen, true, committed social conservativm is the province of furmpy white men.

Excellent question. We'll find out very soon. A risky pick in that there is no margin for error.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

the press is going to grill her on foreign policy, and if she has any mis-steps, or won't answer the questions, it's going to look bad.

Possibly. She wasn't selected for her foreign policy experience, but we'll see how she does. One mistake people are making IMO is comparing her to Joe Biden. Except for one debate, VPs don't run against VPs. They are just there to enhance the Presidential candidate.

Contrasting how Palin compliments McCain to how Biden compliments Obama is a better approach.

I think he had to throw the long pass.

Obama's campaign already sounds condescending.

I don't know that the women of america are going to be thrilled with Obama's camp belittling this woman.

they should keep their mouths shut for now. if she comes out impressively it's really going to make them look bad.

Obama and his campaign have already shown a willingness to belittle women.

Also, as if Biden's reputation weren't that he's a lighweight.
