and btw... why would we want a VP that's under suspicion for corruption? no thanks...
The least they could do is wait until their in the White House for the corruption like the current one did!
Oh no....the Obama camp is now talking about how awful it would be to have a VP without experience .....don't think that I would go there if I were him, as it's even more awful to have a President without experience!
I am a lurker but wanted to chime in.

I could not agree more!
THANK YOU!! I couldn't agree more. What I thought and said when Obama chose Biden "at least it will balance things out" and I feel the same with Palin. McCain has lots of experience and I think Palin is a likeable person and she has good politics, so far. She will balance things out as far as McCain being sort of conservative on certain issues and sort of liberal on others. And Now, Palin, although she believes that "life partners" should have all rights as a spouse, she is very conservative on all other issues. One thing I heard a reporter say that really urked me was "she is a gun toating pro-lifer" and she will not appeal to women. What!!? Blah! She appeals to me. She is a mother of five, a mother of a soldier, a mother of a dd with Down Syndrom, a wife of 20yrs, plus she was born in Idaho, she is a Christian, she is a member of the NRA, she is an outdoorsmen, a conservative who does not believe in over spending. I can pick out a couple things just in that list alone that I have in common with her.
I'll admit, I was hoping that he would choose Romney, but I'm sure he put a lot of thought into this and I don't believe it was "just because she is a women". That would be a crazy reason to choose a person to be a VP.
