This is a great day for the women of America. I have been walking on cloud 9 since this morning! Sarah Palin is one remarkable woman. I’ve been talking to other women friends and they are energized by this choice also! This is such a stride for all of us women who work so hard just to live our lives and to accomplish our dreams. No amount of nay-saying from celebrity or other Obama supporters can diminish Sarah Palin’s accomplishments or her qualifications!!!! Let’s drop all the negativity and celebrate together that for once an accomplished and qualified woman is getting ahead in politics! Kudos to all American women without whom our country would not be as great as it is now!

I wasn’t going to comment because I’m not up on all issues but I have to say I was so glad when Clinton didn’t make it. Has everybody forgotten the scandal she was in the middle of with her husband from their home state? I still haven’t made up my mind on either candidate Obama is definitely impressive as is Biden. But don’t you think we should give Palin a chance by listening to the debates that will certainly come up. I live in a rural community and my sons are so against Obama because of the NRA I don’t agree with them. So far I think Obama has good plans I wonder though can he bring those ideas and complete those ideas they sound good of course but politicians always make promises whether they are Democrats or Republicans. lstratton, Oregon

McCain’s got experience; Biden’s got experience. Obama’s got some and Palin’s got some. The scales are balanced, as some may say. As for the female thing — which I’m not sure why is such a big issue but it is — Palin’s got more guts than most (U.S. & Alaskan) men I’ve met. I am from Hawai’i but have lived in the state of Alaska for 18 years and have seen the way politics are played out. Palin is definitely one-of-a-kind. I’ve met her in person and witnessed her in action. Speaking for myself and as a strong single mother of two children, this woman has had and still has my attention. Her stance on our nation’s issues may not be what most Clinton supporters embrace, but then again, she is part of the GOP party. Age and sex aside, I say, “May the best balanced presidential mates win.”

Thank you , Whoopi! McClain missed the point completely. We wanted Hillary. The real Hillary . No cloning or morphing into some kind of Republican image

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. . Barack’s mother grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton’s army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii. He graduated from Columbia University in New York in 1983. Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment. Barack came to realize in order to improve the lives of people in that and other communities, it would take not just a change at the local level, but a change in our laws and politics. He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate. In the Illinois State Senate, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases. In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress. As a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America’s addiction to oil, he’s working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.

WOW, I am so touched by John McCain’s bold move to sway over the female vote. I am now surprised that he didn’t pick someone with more name reconigtion for us women such as Katherine Harris or better yet Monica Lewinsky (just to remind us all).
