Themistocles: "This is a politically master stroke on the part of McCain. Palin like a 'honeycomb' will attract the feminist swarm of bees, that Senator Clinton stirred up in her campaign"

I think that this is overestimated on two fronts. Firstly, I suspect (although I have been unable to find suitable studies so far) that the majority of feminists habitually vote Democrats. Feminists are also much more likely to be pro-choice. Secondly, the female as VP is still playing second fiddle to the male, and so the feminist effect is less.

I think Sarah Palin was an inspired choice.
Clearly, McCain wants Obama to win too.

Oh how the chickens come home to roost.

No sex education + abstinence promotion + no abortion = shotgun wedding.

A pity her daughter will have to bear the consequences and not her.

I am all for womens' rights not right wing women.

*Clearly, McCain wants Obama to win too.*

Hehe I love it and wish it were true :)

Sounds like McCain's hand might have been forced,
after he had chosen Liebermann. The extreme end
of the party hierarchy stepped in and forced his hand.

The report which I heard, claimed that due to Palin,
the religious nuts contributed another 10 million$ on
her first day of being chosen.

Never understimate the power of the religious end of
Republican politics, it matters significantly!

All this abstinence preaching and no sex education, means
that those many Xtian teenage moms, might outbreed those
nasty muslims after all. That is how their thinking goes, sadly.

Wonderful, isn't it? Of all the potential VP candidates the GOP could select, they pick one who could have stepped off the set of the Jerry Springer show.

The chances of the USA electing its first African-American President grow stronger daily.

McCain, you've done it again!
