http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/01/palin.daughter/index.html I find it seriously hard to believe that McCain knew about this before choosing Palin as VP candidate….

If he really knew prior to announcing the pick, he's an even bigger idiot than I initially thought he was for making it.

i feel the times have changed beyond people really caring that the girl is young and preggers and needing to get married quick. we see with eyes viewing directly at what happens around us all the time and how such actions effect the deeper meaning . . . unless of course you're old enough to care about social security and how it will relate to you, then i'm sure in- between episodes of "matlock" and "murder she wrote" you feel this is a (fox)news worthy tragedy. i feel the real problem with the vp is that you have a party that looks at the fact that if john mcdonalds happy meal heart stops three months in, then we might just have a hillary (clone) in the white house. 'and who wants that?,' they mutter with their martinis and meandering looks at those bars that attract the shitty capital hill types.

Apart from the sex organs, she and Hillary have absolutely nothing in common.
So she's far from a Hillary clone.

Diddy told me we can't vote for Palin because she's never even seen a black person.

but a lot of people still think that obama is a muslim terrorist that will turn our country into the next middle east, or something like that, if he is elected. people see "woman" and they think "hillary" because that's what/who they were exposed to.
Yeah…I know that's essentially why he picked her. Call me naive but I refuse to believe that bitter female Hillary voters would rather vote against their own interests than for Obama (way more of a Hillary clone politically/ideologically than Palin).

The initial report made by the McCain campaign indicated that McCain knew this before making his final selection and had decided to continue making Palin the pick because her daughter was keeping the baby.
Smackette's first reaction: this is what happens when mommy's not around enough, which prompted me to spit my Mountain Dew acroos the room this morning.

Every woman and Hillary Supporter I asked this weekend (some of whom even changed their registration to the Republican party) said they would be voting for Obama now (I asked easily over two dozen and not all from SF or even CA). Only one Hillary supporter I've asked is still voting for McCain.

Palin IS NOT an attempt to steal Hillary voters. Palin is an attempt to solidify the evangelical base.

He could've made a few other (more sensable) picks if that's really what he was aiming to do.

Exactly. Then why not pick Tim Pawlenty? He's the President of the National Asociation of Evangelicals!!!!
More experience, has balanced more budgets in a swing state no less,
had a passport before last year, can speak about alternative energy solutions, as far as I know neither of his teen daughters are pregnant either…

McCain also denies not knowing that the Palins have a development deal for a reality show on E! to be called "Praisin' Palins"

She hit the nail on the head with that reaction. Celeste said the same exact thing.

Who? I think this belongs in your conspiracy theory thread.

Best post of yesterday. lol. "Raisin Palins" could work too. ;)
When I heard, my jaw dropped and rather than gasp, I surprised myself and laughed. If I had a Mountain Dew, I would have shot it through my nose.
I also feel badly for the her infant boy who seems to be babysat an awful lot by her 17 year old.
Am I the only one who thinks of Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" video when they see Palin?
