		<description>oh yeah, she&#039;s hotter than joe biden.. and hotter than hillary, but at Palin&#039;s age, she&#039;s already got some of hillary&#039;s puffy cheeks. her neck is bizarrely thin. haven&#039;t seen enough of her bod to &quot;judge&quot; that. 
most of those pics are airbrushed to death.. plus always wallops of makeup. this is prolly the best shot: http://www.jlaforums.com/attach_pic.php?post_id=15823567&amp;attach_id=14496

prolly still recovering from pregnancy?

arms are puffing out...(warning: huge slow file:)
http://www.ak-prepared.com/dmva/images/2007_Gallery/07_Photo_Gallery_August/8_Gov_Lombrano.jpg

hmm,  also rather homely in that b&amp;w 70&#039;s shot. 

but really, she&#039;s done better than average for mid-40&#039;s, after 5 birthings. 

anyway, this hardly matters beyond amusement... 

what matters is that she&#039;s a repug, so she&#039;s a criminal. (unless she&#039;s actually a worm :-) )</description>

		<description>Well, you can feel a little better, Alaskan.  I have nothing but anecdotal, but it seems that a lot of women are really pissed off that McCain went with someone with so little experience.  He threw a hail mary, and it&#039;s looking like an interception.</description>

		<description>She entered the stage, so to suggest that we leave her &quot;alone&quot; instead of vetting her thoroughly is ludicrous. So we should put on kid gloves just because she&#039;s a woman or a &quot;babe&quot;? Forget it.

McCain was patronizing to her during her speech, telling her when to start and &quot;Take your time.&quot; He looked so awkward as she spoke, like he&#039;s not sure what to do with a woman getting the spotlight. And we think she&#039;ll be a true partner to him? Ha. 

She delivered well for someone with so little experience. However, her first pledge was to the people of Alaska and she has abandoned her constituents to serve her own interests. So forget all her talk about putting people first.

Considering that her Lieutenant Gov is also running for national office, where is she leaving Alaskans over the next two months, and for that matter, even longer if she gains office?

She&#039;s a great pick for shaking up Alaskan politics, but let her earn her cred here for a few more years. Then we&#039;ll see if she can really lead on a national level.

Breaking the glass ceiling is only historic when the person who breaks it is competent for the position. Otherwise it just gives nay-sayers an opportunity to say &quot;I told you so&quot; in terms of women as leaders. Peter Principle can be applied to women as well, after all.

I should be happy about this choice since it clearly shows McCain&#039;s lack of judgment and voters should take note. However, I don&#039;t have faith that people are thinker-voters -- many are feeler-voters and Palin might make them misty-eyed enough to vote simply on the basis of her demographic conveniences.</description>

		<description>McCain&#039;s pick of Palin, a woman with very little executive experience, a woman who has approved a 26 billion dollar oil pipeline to Canada instead of the United States shows that McCain&#039;s decision was made from an adlolescent place of &quot;I&#039;ll show you mentallity&quot; instead of one of wisdom and judgment and will be a disaster because this is not a game but serious, deadly business! Maybe McCain really is senile and confused and incapable of making sound judgments. This woman will be a heartbeat away from being in charge of the highest office in the land. If she was Qualified, that would be different but she is not and that is the bottom line. Not to mention that his argument that Barack has no experience And Is not Ready is out the door, his strongest argument against Barack.

Is this decision Historic or Hysterical or a mockery to our political system? A game changer or a roll of the dice? And should a Presidential candidate play russian roulette with the people&#039;s business? It is sort of sad to me personally, that McCain with all the problems we face here, did not have the People&#039;s interest at heart but rather a desire to win for winning&#039;s sake and did not think of the consequences of his actions and what it would mean for this country if she had to be sworn in as President of the United States! 

However, in this evil ploy to pull Hillary women from Barack with no consideration as to whether or not this woman has the ability and experience to lead the United States here and on a world scale shows a very adolescent way of thinking, and a lack of sound judgment and as McCain&#039;s first executive decision, a disaster! Through this pick, McCain has just shown that he is NOT READY TO LEAD, and it also proves that he is not really serious about solving America&#039;s problems!</description>

		<description>Yep, I&#039;ve been reading a lot of comments like that on the blogs, women who may have been leaning towards McCain are not happy that he picked someone unknown with no experience.   Some are saying it is a slap in the face to women.</description>

		<description>Sorry Bob, I just can&#039;t force myself to be attracted to Republican women.

Terry,

No kidding.  You know what really thrilled me was a very dear friend who was bordering on PUMA status, today when I saw her she was blasting McCain over this pick.

BRILLIANT!

McCain was trying to pull the biggest ratfuck of them all, and landed squarely in epic fail land.</description>

		<description>You have to admit that Sarah Palin is pretty hot (remember she was in the Ms. Alaska Pageant) and MUCH BETTER on the eyes than Joe Biden.  Oh and wait until you see the bikini pics!!!  NOT BAD for a mother of 5.
