And claiming that the environment is as rosy as W's nose after a few pints.
Can't get enough of that oil.
well... even canada doesn't list polar bears as officially endangered... only as "species of special concern."
that said, i think it's fair to say that sarah palin doesn't care about polar bears.
she might as well kick pandas.

(CBS) Republican strategist Karl Rove said on Face The Nation Sunday that he expects presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama to choose a running mate based on political calculations, not the person's readiness for the job.
"I think he's going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice," Rove said. "He's going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he's going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He's not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president."
Rove singled out Virginia governor Tim Kaine, also a Face The Nation guest, as an example of such a pick.
"With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he's been a governor for three years, he's been able but undistinguished," Rove said. "I don't think people could really name a big, important thing that he's done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America."
Rove continued: "So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I'm really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States? What I'm concerned about is, can he bring me the electoral votes of the state of Virginia, the 13 electoral votes in Virginia?'"
I'm astounded by this pick. McCain just signed his own death sentence.
EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE...This pick is astounding in it's brilliance - to the point of being scary. I really didn't think McCain had it in him (actually I was hoping he didn't). I thought he'd pick some boring boob like Romney or Pawlenty or even worse Lieberman or Ridge. This is not good for the democrats. Sarah Palin is...a woman. A mother of five. Pro-Life. A lifelong hunter. A popular Governor. Liked by evangelicals. Liked by fiscal conservatives. I really thought Obama had it in the bag but now I'm not so sure. It's like McCain transformed the race instantly. Kinda scary.

It's interesting that McCain picks someone he's only even met twice before.
And who does she get that Romney wouldn't? This isn't brilliant at all...

I don't get it? That's funny...Geez. Some of you folks just don't get it do you. The same FYM'ers that scoffed when I began the thread on Sarah Palin are now in shock that I foresaw her being McCain's pick. Word of warning: I know of what I speak (at least on this subject) and I'm telling you this is the vice-presidential pick of our lifetime...and I don't want the Republican's to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, sorry, to answer your question on who she brings to McCain that Romney couldn't...
At least half the evangelicals!!
Soccer Mom's!!!!
Good ol' boys!!!!!!
Reagan Democrats!!!!!!
and probably all kinds of centrist independents.
Reagan Democrats? This may be the only one you have partially right, but it's not overwhelming.
The evening news spent nearly the first 15 minutes on McCain/ Palin and only 2 minutes on the last night of Democratic convention.
I think you'll change your mind if McCain wins the election.
It doesn't have to be.

(CNN) — John McCain first met Sarah Palin only six months ago and had just one conversation with the Alaska governor before offering her the vice presidential slot on the Republican ticket, the Arizona senator's campaign said Friday.
....
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis had several conversations with Palin throughout the vetting process, but McCain himself didn't speak with the Alaska governor until last Sunday — one day after Barack Obama named Joe Biden to his ticket. It was then McCain reached Palin by phone while she was at the Alaska State Fair to discuss the possibility of joining the ticket.
Palin then traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona Wednesday evening, where she met with top McCain advisers Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter. On Thursday Palin traveled to McCain's Sedona, Arizona home where the Arizona senator had another conversation with her, and formally asked her to be his running mate.
Does she make you more likely to vote for McCain?At least he met her twice before he used his judgement to select her.
