Sarah Palin is the VP pick so why are you all still "What if'ing" ?

Do the voters a favor and start putting out some well researched and UNBIASED information on Palin's record.

Loriw, he is "what if"-ing because if Sarah Palin goes down in flames in the next 60 days, she takes the republican ticket, and 8 years of republican accomplishments, with her. Romano understands that there is a lot is riding on this.

There are a LOT of well researched and unbiased questions being raised about her qualifications, ethics, history, and abilities. Trust me, republicans, you want all of this to come out now - not in the last week of October when there is no time to recover.

And until she is formally accepted on the ticket as VP at the convention, there is still time for the party to consider more responsible choices and qualified candidates. But once she is on, there is not a whole lot you can do if she turns out to be less than advertised.

If McCain had picked Pawlenty he would have won in November.

As it is, he picked Sarah Palin the traitor! A member of AIP, a party that wants to secede.

Plus, Palin is under at least two ethics violation investigations in Alaska.

The Palin pick shows a severe lack of judgment on McCain's part.

Do you want a president that is this impulsive and irratic??

there is no basis to the allegations just good old boy retaliations by some of the people she tried to lean on to do the right thing. I hear that the state trooper brother in law used his police issued TASER to taser his 10 (TEN) year old stepson. And he treatened to shoot his in laws. Does this sound like a trooper we want on the road? He should have lost his job and should have been investigated by CPS and NOT allowed to keep his job. Sorry I don't see how Palin could have done anything wrong in following up on what appears to me to be an open and closed case of child abuse by someone who is supposed to be protecting children.

I don't think anybody on the left is suggesting she "sacrifice her career to stay at home." Nobody objects to her being Governor of Alaska. But that job doesn't require the anywhere near the same attention and time that Vice President would require. She was able to go back to work as Governor three days after her baby was born. I applaud her for that, but I think it says something about how much less work it is to be Governor than to be Vice President. Or many other jobs. I teach high school, and I don't know any mother I work with who has returned to work that quickly.

I am an independent and I beleive that the media's attacks on Gov. Palin were wrong and crossed the line. But the speeches last night at the Republican Convention were no different ;they attacked the Obamas and the Democratic Party in a harsh and somewhat disrespectful way. As an independent voter I was looking forward to hear more about Gov. Palin and what she has done and will do as a VP for this great country I love. I want to know what the Republicans and the Democratics are going to do for our declining economy, and what type of health care plan they would implement if any, but I did not hear any of that last night. Last night sounded like a comedy show and yes ! I had a great laugh, but lets get back to the real issues please. As a voter I am still undecided, but I think Sen Obama said it best when he said "enough is Enough." GOD BLESS AMERICA if this is all we got to choose from in November.
