For all you yank wanks and those that follow US politics:

Yes Sarah Palin is hot, but oh so much more. . .

So 'good night' Obama/Biden, Hello McCain/Palin!

heero-Yuy2 - That's what I was fearing. Bush (1 term), Clinton (2 terms), Bush (2 terms) , Clinton (? terms), Bush (Jeb, ? terms), Clinton (Chelsea, ? terms).

20 years of two families was enough!

What people fail to realize is that the McCain-Palin ticket is a Populist one (ala Teddy Roosevelt, who took on the industrialists).

Hilary is a great speaker and a very able politician. The press has been very unkind to her and she deserves a lot more credit than she gets..

Obama and Bill; Clinton are great orators . they can think on their feet. Sadly, many politicians now have speeches written taking into account political correctness, opinion poles, surveys etc.. They cannot adlib for toffee..

gypsy - I have a feeling there is no politician you like or that would represent you (at least on the national level).

What do you expect from a Canadian?

There's just not pleasing you gen x-ers. There are no saints in politics kids.

britexpat - so to be a good politician you have to be telegenic, good orator or what? Some of the most mesmerizing orators have been tyrants.

labda06 - My work schedule is opposite everyone else, so I am hit and miss, lately more miss.

i think it was the old boys club on FOX who kept making fun of Hillary and her pant suits.

Today I saw that a bunch of posters were circulating of her with her head photo shopped on to different bodies, all doing lewd things. You wouldn't see that done with a male candidate.

however, i used to think that she was not ready to be VP. but after hearing about the investigation into her possible abuse of power as governor in Alaska, i think she could be a worthy successor to dick cheney.

And if you look at it, would a man with Hilary's same personality have been portrayed as a bitch?? And Bush and his predecessor in the idiot box Quayle were never attacked as much as this.

I don't know if it's quite as bad as the way the media attack them. If you look at the candidates wives it's just as sterotypical.

WARNING FEMINIST RANT: Is anyone else disgusted by the coverage of Palin?? I find the USA's (and frankly all media coverage) of women candidates to be extremely sexist. Clinton was portrayed as a Beeatch and Palin's being portrayed as a ditz. Can we generlize anymore?

Saw Palin's speech.. OK, she's not much of a speaker, but she is photogenic..

"The Palin family crisis that we were talking about on Sunday and Monday ... has been solved now, and today the baby is being adopted by Angelina Jolie," CBS "Late Show" host David Letterman deadpanned on Tuesday.

LOL Southland...first of all hiiii!!! Aaaaah, you come and you go...Qatari should order you to have a minimum number of threads per day.

And no sirrrreeee...no goodbye's for Obama, although Ms. Palin has brought some dynamite to the game...
