You are overlooking her experience. She does have more executive experience than Obama, McCain and Biden combined.

They were saying Oprah was crying last night listening to the speech of the Messiah, Barack Obama, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

I swear to God, I think Oprah must cry every friggin' time I sit down to take a CRAP! :x

That's a matter of semantics only... try using the term CIVIC or POLITICAL with experience, and it's a completely different game.

Garry, you know I love you, but isn't there enough animosity in the world without calling names? You don't agree with Obama; fine, no problem. But he still deserves respect as a Senator....

True, that.

and there are those that need to be reminded that Mr. Bush deserves respect as our president.

Like Obama, I believe she is about 4 years ahead of her time. Experience wise, Obama doesn't have much either. He has done nothing significant in the Senate yet. His state voting record is also non-committal. I think he needs another 4 years with results. She too has an impressive record of fighting the machine and some success but it is Alaska. I have many times referred to McCain as the Bob Dole of this election. I don't want to push it and compare it to Mondale/Ferrarro, and I hope it doesn't become that. I will need to hear her speak and debate a couple of times...and of course pick up a copy of that Vogue magazine.

I think this pick will work out fine....
I still find it hard to imagine any disgruntled Hillary supporter who cares about a woman's right to choose, choosing this ticket, knowing that both are pro-life. McCain has made his strong desire to have Roe v Wade overturned and this just serves to reinforce his intent.
As much as I wish I was wrong, Roe v Wade will NEVER be overturned.
In the first place, no matter WHO wins in November, the dems will still control congress, and, thus, would have to approve the confirmation of any Supreme Court Justice nominees-they sure won't approve any nominee who ISN'T pro-choice.
Secondly, people of BOTH parties are smart enough to understand that if a woman is hell-bent on having an abortion, she's going to do it, come hell or high water, be it at an aborition clinic or in a back alley with a coat hanger. If it were MY daughter, as much as I'd like her to give birth to the child, I know which option I'D prefer if she were adamant on going through with it.
Politicians are no different. Yes, most of us are pro-life, but also realistic about it.
We still have the option of trying to convince them that having a baby isn't necessarily a bad thing. If they still choose to abort it, that's THEIR choice. Again, I'm PRO-LIFE, but I would hope a woman would choose against aborting the child because her HEART tells her so, not somebody in Washington.

Rest easy, dems-Roe v Wade won't ever be overturned. It just won't.
I wish I was wrong, but as a 56-year old who's been around the block a few times, I know I'm not.
Garry-nobody in Washington is telling women to have abortions-Roe v Wade allows them to choose to do so legally.

And, while you have not done so, much of the prolife movement characterizes the other side as pro-abortion. I don't know anyone that favors abortion. What we favor is the woman's right to make an informed and legal decision.

A safe, informed, and legal decision.

Women will have abortions whether it is legal or not. Doctor's office or a coathanger.
