My eldest sister, a septuagenarian, and her husband...
are registered Republicans. Actually they're Independents but don't know it. I've been working on them, and many others, for months. About five minutes ago my sister called me and said, "...because of Palin they will definitely be voting for Obama." Worried about her becoming President in case McCain falls ill. They, my sister and her husband, were trying to analyze why McCain would consider an un-vetted person as his VP. I said, "...another trophy to add to his collection." They felt that this might be the only logical answer...she is a pretty woman.

I doubt that this is an isolated case.

Palin did a good job READING A SPEECH...but not her nor honest.

I can't believe the BS emanating out of this convention, nor the MSM. Yes I can, but BS by any other name is still BS.

Palin has yet to be vetted...give it time.

Did Giuliani, with the assistance of Palin, make a dent in his state of New York? C'mon!

palin gave the speech, by a bush speechwriter, as whack red meat for the hypocrites but I think it ENERGIZED the Dems, Community Organizers, and Independents just as much:bounce:
