Sarah Palin is younger and more experienced than Barrack. She compliments Mccain well. The only problem she suffers from is obscurity.

But the electoral votes Barrack was vying for in Alaska are gone, shes has like 90% approval there.

She also has a history of intolerance of corruption, including being a whistleblower against fellow party members. So she's a female candidate that doesnt suffer from the inability to tell the truth.

And best of all... MILF. :-p

I'm not singing her, praises, just pointing out how well the Mccain campaign tought this one thru. They really have made the general election an interesting fray.

Running a State of 680, 000 people doesn't qualify one to be president especially if old McCain suffers from any more cancers. The complexities of that state don't even hold a candle to a regular US city. Add the drill, drill, drill mentality with absolutely no regard for wildlife and a husband who works for bp (surprised?) and you have a recipe for disaster. God help the USA

Yes, because it's much better to let others drill and ruin their environment while feeding money to corrupt systems that like to bomb us in their free time.

At least if we drill here, we can monitor (and regulate) the damage while providing American jobs and keep the money within our own country. We need to actively pursue alternative energy but let's be realistic... Even under the best system, we're going to need oil (and lots of it) for a long time. Let's make some proactive moves to ensure that we control what we need. It's sitting here underneath our feet, we just need to go get it.

PS. The complexities of Alaska don't even rival a city? What? That state has all sorts of situations (oil, the ANR, massive oil corporation lobbyists, a large fishing industry, etc.) that no mayor would ever dream of having to deal with.

 

I think you overestimate the threat of other countries to the US. I don't think any country in their rightful mind would launch an attack on the USA...only terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. Maybe you're worried about Russia. Take note that WE are the ones provoking them by building missile detection facilities next to their borders (Poland) and providing advanced weapons tech to their neighbors (Georgia)...who's provoking who?

The US needs to stop wasting money trying to act as world police. If we don't stop borrowing money from China, no other type of change whatsoever would save us from economic catastrophe. We need to stop trying to ensure that we are the only superpower and make sure we help our own citizens first. We can't stop the Chinese. We're only helping them.

I couldn't even get a loan for my senior year at school but thanks to a partial scholarship and my six-month internship, I can still pay my tuition. I hate to think of the mess I'd be in if I wasn't on this internship.
