Pale-in comparison
At first I put it down to underestimating the intelligence of female voters, thinking they would just vote for any old female on the ticket. I mean whats the difference? Highly educated ex-first lady senator to oh say hockey Mum and ex mayor of Hicksville Alaska with "family values". Women cant tell the difference, and they wont care as long as any ole lady is up there to prove that YES WE CAN. Now it is quite obvious that the world has underestimated the Republicans. They were all this time going for the Redneck vote. I get it!! It is also quite apparent that being an NRA member is not redneck-ish enough. Add in preggy teen and voila, you have a candidate worthy of taking on the Putins of this world. Why else would they think that the fact that their potential VP has a very pregnant 17 year old would not result in a negative media frenzy? Or that Baby Daddy's self proclamation of being a "fucking redneck" would not hit primetime worldwide news? Everywhere I went today everyone was talking about the Pallin fiasco. Canada is supposed to have an election soon but who the hell cares..the antics of the Beverly Hillbillies pale in comparison to the Pallin antics. This has made my week!!

i was sooo apalled at the3 choice of sarah palin as veep, i almost fell off my chair. THIS is why IF i can vote, my money's on the liberals - the lesser of the two evils.
women voting for women just because of gender simply underate the complexities of politics.
THIS is why affirmative action is not always a good thing..you dont vote ofr barack becuase he's black and you dont vote republican becuase htere's sarah in the equation.
As another Malaysian living in the States, I just had to add- I've been in a constant bad mood since the VP announcement. And it's only gotten worse now that I've seen the misplaced adoration.
I was just reading, in disbelief I might add, that her nomination is actually helping the Republican party. I mean it is considered a joke here (well, in the press) while obviously less so in the US. have you seen the Matt Damon interview where he calls it a "Bad Disney Movie"?? and is concerened that she will ultimately have the nuclear codes.
