The New Republic: McCain's Palin Pick Gives Obama An Opportunity To Take The Edge On National Security

[promaclaura]

-True, Obama has little foreign policy

This statement says it all about Barack.

-Early in his tenure on the Foreign Relations Committee, Obama joined Richard Lugar''s efforts to secure weapons of mass destruction in the former Soviet Union

So what, that is an obvious for anyone and it doesn''t show some upper level foreign policy thinking, it merely restates what we already know.

This article shows Democrat arrogance against women. It won''t fly to tell the American people that Palin is not ready to be V.P. or President and that Barack is because he is a man. Women have better perception all around, and I''d take Sarah sitting across the table from Putin anyday. Putin already has Barack pegged and will underestimate Sarah like the rest of the Democratic Party. The real "change" Washington needs is in "gender" not race.

Of the four candidates, three are Senators and one is a governor. They are all running for the chance to govern the nation. Only one of them has governed anything. We are not electing a lawmaker, but someone to govern our nation. Palin is the best of the four for that job.

great article, I was very shocked and offended with the pick, there are many other republican woman politicians that would be a better pick to be the token woman candidate. all I could say was what was he thinking or should I say not thinking. I am even more behind Obama/Biden now

Very funny that you would say that considering that your party chose to get behind a virtual unknown inexperienced junior senator. Unfortunately your party didn''t bother to consider ''other democratic women politicians'' AT ALL.

LOL Have YOU been asleep for the last 8 years?? We are LIVING the results of a Government run by the Republican''''s!! How much INCOMPETENCE, Corruption and out right blunders does it take to get the point. NO I am not watching the Republican''''s nor is anyone I know! Why?? Because they have NOT earned that right. THEY have NOT shown me nor any other American who has disagreed with and did not support the LIES of George Bush, ANY respect! I have heard the tired old lies and tired old garbage for two LONG... NO "Lib''''s" did NOT create the mess we have, the PARTY that is getting together in the Twin Cities DID!! SIEG HEIL BUSH

So very true. It''s hard to believe that any sane person coule possibly vote for more republican nonsense after the last catastrophic eight years. But for some people, power and control is more important than patriotism and discernment.

Take the edge on national security!!! A DEMOCRAT!!

That''''s such a big laugh I don''''t even know how to respond. The New Republic staff has obviously been drinking this weekend.

Typical Fascist. When the Russian''s thumbed their nose at us with Georgia they KNEW what most of us knew. NO ONE on this planet has ANY respect for nor will the citizens of any nation step up to aid or stand with this Government we have. THEY are an ARROGANT bunch of losers who have STILL after over 7 years NOT captured those who attacked this nation. Sieg Heil Bush

Anyone who has made up his mind this early in the season, without watching the debates and hearing each candidate speak for him or herself is simply a closed minded partisan of party politics. PAY ATTENTION, people! This may be the most historic election in the history of the country, and you''''re treating it like a 7th grade popularity contest!

I find it amazing that the author of this article has the ability to look into someone''''s heart and judge arrogance or hubris. You can criticize the VP selection on its merits or lack thereof, but to say that McCain is being arrogant is really unfair.

That is what you got from the article?? LOL Look McSame had to get the wacked out Right onboard or he faced a defeat like none in modern history. Obama showed his party, this nation and the World that he was real and a steady leader. That left McSame with ONE option, do something to create a Wedge... that''s the ONLY thing that fires up the Pat Robertson Crowd... the chance to be lord and master over the rest of us. Yes it is Arrogant but it also shows just how bad off the Republican Party is... how dependent it has become on Radical''s and Extremist to compete. The Nazi''s did that and we all know the results!! Sieg Heil McBush
