It's one of those 'wtf' moments.

I realize she is rather popular in AK, but that doesn't mean all too much. Alaska is a much different place from the rest of the country and ones success among moose hunters and hummer drivers doesn't necessarily translate to the prius driving vegetarians throughout the rest of the country.

Partly the reason of why she was picked is because she is a woman and all the Hillary supporters should now identify with Palin. This is BS and a prime example of how McCain doesn't get the first thing about the people in the US and/or women.

I doubt the majority of women identify with a moose hunting, hockey mom w/ 5 kids, and a journalism degree from the university of freaking idaho!!

As for VP, I don't want a hockey mom! No shit. No offense to hockey moms, but I know too many of them and I wouldn't want any of them running my country or actively participating in running it.

Her speech of the cracked ceiling and how she'll be finally breaking through makes me want to gag. If McCain/Palin wins the presidency, it will have nothing to do with Palin's own effort, but everything with what McCain thought she was bringing to the ticket. McCain had met her once several months ago (which is pretty telling by itself) and picked her because she will (hopefully) attract new voters and will not interfere whatsoever in his politics. If she breaks through that glass ceiling, it is because someone opened a window, not because she smashed it!!

Besides, her voice annoys the hell out of me.
