You know mccant has lost when people from his own party are astonished by the pick of Palin for VP and after reading this article I wonder if mccant's campaign committee knew he was going to pick her since they didn't even go to Alaska to do research on her. mmmmmmm

State House Speaker John Harris, a Republican from Valdez, was astonished at the news. He didn't want to get into the issue of her qualifications.

"She's old enough," Harris said. "She's a U.S. citizen."

Former House Speaker Gail Phillips, a Republican political leader who has clashed with Palin in the past, was shocked when she heard the news Friday morning with her husband, Walt.

"I said to Walt, 'This can't be happening, because his advance team didn't come to Alaska to check her out," Phillips said.

Phillips has been active in the Ted Stevens re-election steering committee and remains in close touch with Sen. Lisa Murkowski and other party leaders, and she said nobody had heard anything about McCain's people doing research on his prospective running mate.

"We're not a very big state. People I talk to would have heard something."

2. What is

the big deal here. She has as much experience as BHO, maybe more, and only a few years younger. Sour grapes maybe. She might attract some young voters, maybe even some female votes that the democrats have always taken for granted. As an independent voter this is the most interesting election I have seen in a long time!

3. what is the big deal!!! Where are living?

The big deal is that she will could be the commander and chief of the most powerful military in the world.... she has ZERO foreign policy experience. She won her election because of her stand against corruption. That's it..... In a state with a population of less than a million people. It is down right scary to think she could take on the most difficult job on the planet should something happen to the "Old Man".

This was the end of mccant's chances to be pres. He blew it big time.

4. As much experience as Obama? Srsly?

Did I miss where she taught constitutional law at Mooseburger University? 8 years as council member and mayor of a town of 5,000 is exactly the same as serving on the Illinois State Senate?

You forgot to put quotes around "independent".
