Smart move here by McCain . . . I honestly did not believe he would have beaten Obama (I was hoping, but didn't think he could). But this move definitely turns the tide and will help McCain get a TON of the Hillary vote.

A ton of the Hillary vote? Just the fact that Palin is pro-life will keep Hillary supporters from voting for McCain.

It will get him a small fraction of Hillary supporters, but definitely won't make a huge difference.

I don't think that will matter. He won't get all or maybe even most, but I think he will get enough to make the difference.

This is actually a terrible move that won't matter because America won't vote for Obama when it matters.

So much of this campaign has been built around experience, and that's McCain's strong suit. Now he has an amateur VP and the Democrats will continue harping on the age issue. If McCain dies in office, do you want her to be president? She's been governor for 2 frickin' years.

When it comes down to it, McCain is going to win in a landslide anyways, but if he weren't starting this race so far ahead anyways, this wouldn't be a very good choice.

Obama has a couple years of experience as a Senator and some as a State senator. Whats the difference? She was a mayor before she was a governer.

Let's consider: Senator from Illinois, living in Washington, making connections on a national scale. Governor from Alaska , living in Alaska , making connections in, uh, Alaska .

I mean, I was never voting for Obama because his healthcare plan pretty much sends my college career to the shitter, but if McCain's strength is built on experience, why would you go out and get a Veep with none?

(She get's my vote for "Vice Presidential Candidate I'd Most Want Sleep With," though)

I didn't see this move coming. I'm not sure which side of the fence I'm on in regards to the election. To get just a bit off topic does anyone have any unbiased websites I can look at to be able to form a better opinion on both candidates? If so please PM those to me so we don't take up any more space.

I think they do something with the Senate or House and they run and hide first if there is a possible threat. They call it being put in a safe house but I think they are just chicken shit.

They're cat herders, yeah. They do some wrangling in the House and Senate, and take on a few smaller issues like the environment or whatever, but that's about it. I put a teeny bit of stock in the "experience" argument for a President, but I couldn't care less about an experienced (or not) VP.

I was thinking the same thing and agree with you, completely. But, I still think it was a very smart move....

She is good looking. I just hope he lets her give lots of speeches of the next 4 years!

      I played in a scramble that got rained out. The day was forecast for rain and my 3 partners bailed. I went anyway as I took the day off and did not feel like going to work. Not sure how many groups showed up, but I was assured that I could hit all four shots if I wanted. Long story short: I played 13 holes and was nine under with a couple holes at the end where I was having trouble hanging on to the club due to the rain. If I hit a drive that I deemed acceptable I did not hit another. I probably only took 3 or 4 mulligan tee shots on par 4 and 5 holes. Approach shots I probably hit at least two sometimes 3. I don't recall missing a GIR. Once on the putting surface is where I shined with 4 attempts. I was amazed at how successful I was on these long putts when I had 4 balls sitting there and then hit them in quick succession. One would go high, then one a little low and then the third or fourth would often drop. I "won" the event and got some nice prizes. I was a bit embarrassed by it all.
