Marine, not a solider. OOH RAH!!!!
actually, Palin has more experience on an executive level than Obama.
she's served on the city council, served as mayor, then as governor.
the people in Alaska seem to love what she's done.
Obama's experience is limited to voting on what other people have put in front of him.
Still not enough to run the country. with Mccain's age you have to consider the odds of him not living for a full term.
I wouldn't say all of Alaska is thrilled with ehr. The city she was mayor of is not in good shape money wise and she has some deal with firing her ex brother in law who was a state trooper.
you're still the armed services.
i dont know any soldiers [Army, AF and Marines... dont know any Navy folks] that would even consider Obama. most get obscene at the mention of his name.
years with Slick Willie as Pervert-in-Chief made most of them pretty anti-Democrat.
she's relatively young [44] and nice looking, so should we start the countdown to when somebody on the left starts crowing that she and McCain must be having an affair?
I'd hardly consider myself a Republican, but this just may have bought my vote. Everbody hurts..
Quit US If McCain Gets In' - Michael Stipe has told Sky News
Sky News ^ | 8/30/08 | Jon Bennett
Michael Stipe has told Sky News that he may leave America if John McCain wins the US election.
The REM frontman is an outspoken supporter of Barack Obama and said the Democrat's election would give his country the chance to move on from the aftermath of 9/11.
The 48-year-old revealed he had stayed up overnight because he wanted to experience Senator Obama's nomination acceptance speech live and said he hoped America would be ready to elect its first black president on polling day.
Speaking exclusively to Sky News ahead of the band's appearance at London's Twickenham stadium, Stipe also talked about the impact that illegal downloading has had on the music industry, warning that film companies will be next to face a huge fall in profits.
Asked what he felt it would mean for America if Senator McCain wins the election, Stipe smiled and said: "Well I'd have to move to England."
He went on to say that he admired the war veteran's record but criticised the Republicans' record since the turn of the century.
"It is unfathomable to me as an American and a world citizen that anyone would vote for that man," he said.
"He served his country and he did a good job as a serviceman, I will honour him for that, but he is not presidential material."

So she's also more qualified to be president than Mccain correct? I mean what's his executive level experience?
you just spoke to my heart!
YES!!! Palin/McCain '08 seems so much more fitting than McCain/Palin '08... but at this point and considering the alternative, i'll take the next best thing.
