Ryan, none of us really know why McCain picked Sarah Palin for his running mate. My best educated guess goes like this:
1. Obama did’nt have the guts to pick a female and thus angered his base.
2. McCain couldn’t energize his base due to his history of being soft on social issues.
3. McCain is a maverick and likes being a maverick.
4. McCain knew the deligates that the Democratic Party dissed were his for the asking if he showed them some love.
5. He needed someone that would enhance his ticket, someone that wasn’t the norm.
6. McCain knew that 54% of the voters are women.
7. Sarah Palin is an outsider
8. Shes a maverick
9. Shes young, beautiful and hard as nails.
10. She resonates with Mom’s trying to juggle all the things they feel the need to do.
11. She says to every woman…you to can have it all.
12. Both candidates enjoy a good fight if the result is good for America.
13. Both love this country unconditionally.
14. Both cut their teeth on reform.

Just my guess

Obama’s mother had him when she was 18, and after just six months of marriage to a married man (Obama Sr. never divorced his first wife from Africa). Like Bill Clinton’s mother, she let her parents do most of the child-rearing while she found herself. Why isn’t she being savaged for doing far worse than Bristol Palin? Because the liberal media (I’m a J-school grad, and 95% of my classmates were flaming liberals) can’t not mentally process the fact that a successful and powerful woman can be embraced by the general population unless she’s a manimal like Hillary Clinton. It’s doing to be their undoing, and won’t help the cause of Senator Barak Hussein Obama, II, either.

Bethany, as always we have to look beyond the obvious. While some will focus on a single issue (hair, voice, looks) there are others out there that will look to see how the pieces fit together to get a more perfect picture of what someone is all about. Not so much a question of what her daughter has done as much as a vindication that Sarah talks the talk and walks that talk. What we say in public is often different than what we do in private. The fact that her daughter is pregnant is farless important to me than the fact that the daughter will marry the father and raise the child. While the daughter may not have followed her mothers teaching about pre-marital sex, her teaching of taking responsibility for her actions and doing the “right” thing shows thru. This is the All-American family. Stayed up past my bedtime last evening to watch her acceptance speech…while I still have issues with McCain, Sarah and her family have my vote.

Vincent is my hero, and I agree with him. I don’t think that should interfere with Sarah Palin.(She is my hero too because she is a member of the NRA) I’m sure she is a great parent, I don’t really think she could really help what her daughter chooses to do. I think these people just want something to argue about. Anyways as long as McCain gets the job done, us repubs should be happy.

umm i agree with bethany.. who cares about what her daughter did. it doesnt make sarah palin a bad choice for the vp. i mean seriously.. think about this.. if you have kids and your kid does something you dont approve of.. does it make you a bad parent? umm im pretty sure all of you wouldn’t think so! so leave that family alone and worry about what really matters.. beating obama!

I don’t think that Sarah Palin’s personal ordeal with her pregnant daughter is going to affect McCain’s Presidential campaign. He didn’t pick Palin’s pregnant seventeen year old daughter for Vice-President! We shouldn’t be focusing all of our attention on someone that is not even involved with John McCain. We should be focusing on Sarah’s accomplishments as a businesswoman, mayor, and governor of Alaska. So what if Bristol’s pregnant?! We can’t focus on the bad choice that Palin’s daughter made! She’s not running for office, neither has she been chosen to be Vice-President!
