This is a big concern for me, and the fact that she is ANTI-CHOICE. This means no abortion options even in the situations of rape and/or incest. This is not ok for me. Fine, she's a woman who is out to make change, but let's not make that change at the expense of our options for our daughters and grandaughters someday. We don't want someone who is going to litter the Supreme Court with even more justices who aren't pro-choice. It needs to stay even and religion needs to stay out of the schools.Ella Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993576663381710985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603383.post-14753484215105518772008-09-01T22:47:00.000-08:002008-09-01T22:47:00.000-08:00Wow!

So fun! <BR/><BR/>The news of today (Palin's daughter is pregnant) has put even more of a twist on matters. <BR/>This news makes me think..." shouldn't she be with her family at this time? Doesn't her daughter need her?" <BR/>I worry that Palin will break down from all the various pressures on her. I don't know how she can handle it all. Talk about the weight of the world on her shoulders.<BR/><BR/>ZoyaZoya, Patrick, Nora and Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058223440486466376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603383.post-84546061186069014912008-09-01T12:07:00.000-08:002008-09-01T12:07:00.000-08:00Just have to put in my two cents...

See this NPR story for a discussion of this widely held misconception: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18632802. <BR/><BR/>I'm still feeling pretty ill about Palin. I think she's radically unqualified, and really is just there because of cynical electoral politics. I'm glad, as an Alaskan, that Alaska will get more attention now (good or bad) but I really feel like she's an absolutely awful candidate for this position.The North Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158878894748575105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603383.post-5652390215848074062008-09-01T11:29:00.000-08:002008-09-01T11:29:00.000-08:00Zoya I agree that it is refreshing to have choices...Zoya I agree that it is refreshing to have choices other than white males after 200+ years of them but I have no problem with his or her age. I'm just glad there is diversity on both tickets. That being said, you can read my blog for my feelings on the two party system :)My Little Family:https://www.blogger.com/profile/17240741117809295524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603383.post-28910888885196806342008-09-01T10:24:00.000-08:002008-09-01T10:24:00.000-08:00Exactly what I have been saying!

I can't believe someone at his age with his health concerns would pick someone so ill suited to replace him as president. I understand the political strategy and I think for some people it may work. It if anything pushed me in the other direction!Mary Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439897439885274583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33603383.post-11198531431847463372008-08-31T19:34:00.000-08:002008-08-31T19:34:00.000-08:00I am honestly insulted that they chose her.

Not that Obama has a long record, but I think he has been preparing for this for a long time and has at least dealt with politics on a national level. If a man with her qualifications were picked, there would be a HUGE uproar. It insults me that McCain would pick her, thinking that we women are so empty headed to follow the female, despite the fact that her opinions are the exact opposite of Hilary's. <BR/><BR/>Whereas Biden compliments Obama, Palin simply takes away from McCain. Yes, she is pro-life, which McCain isn't, and she wants to open ANWR which McCain doesn't, thus appealing to the more conservative crowd, otherwise she is simply a drain on him politically. She certainly takes away McCain's argument that Obama is too new to the scene! <BR/><BR/>In summary, I'm not pleased!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
