Poll time: Are you pumped?

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 29, 2008 01:29 PM

I know a large number of michellemalkin.com readers have shared my deep-seated reservations about John McCain. Those reservations — especially regarding border security, the environment, campaign finance, and his Soros flirtations — remain. And you know I will not hesitate to pound on them. But the Palin VP choice appears to be a huge step forward for movement conservatism. She is the real deal.

Today’s poll question: Are you on board with McCain/Palin?

Are you on board with McCain/Palin?
Hell, yes! Writing my first check to the GOP in ages.
Yes, but I wish it were Palin/McCain.
Reserving judgement. Don’t know enough about her yet.
No. We’re still screwed ’08.

    I believe Hannity suggested her a while back, but figured it would not happen. Anyway as an Independant Conservative Mc Cain just gave me a reason to vote for the ticket (and I am even a vegetarian ;-)
    Now do the next right thing and get Ramos and Campean out of prison.

    Heck, yeah! This is the kind of thing that we’ve been looking for! She is someone who will stand up for what she believes, and against the things she doesn’t. Will probably have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to McCain’s liberal tendencies. McCain surely knows this and picked her anyway. WAY TO GO, MCCAIN!

    I’ve thought Palin would be the best choice for quite awhile now, but I had filed the possibility in the “too good to be true” category.

    Choosing her as the VP candidate was a brilliant move on McCain’s part. It’s the first time I’ve felt excited by the prospect of casting a vote in November, and I can now do so with my head held high, rather than holding my nose!

    I’ve been reading left wing blogs full of cries about how “inexperienced” this beautiful mother/governor/moose hunter is and the hypocrisy is just beautiful.

    We finally have someone with executive experience (well, OK, Obama was a board member with that Pentagon bomber dude) on one of the tickets.

    I’m not a McCain fan by any stretch… but this selection was grand slam. Let’s hope McCain listens to her more than she listens to him… that would bring hope!!!

    Fantastic! In a rational world, McCain/Paley could not possibly lose this race.

    I dislike McCain and I think his health is a serious issue, so picking a conservative VP was an extremely important consideration for me. Had he picked some RINO, I would probably be casting a write-in vote for a real conservative president in November.

    I read the article, and have to admit that I found the call letters for the radio station that the writer worked were quite appropriate in the writer’s case.

    That comment aside, McCain chose the only person for VP that would have persuaded me to vote for him.

    Palin not only has more executive experience than Obama, but I dare say that she likely has more than Hillary.

    I’m very glad to see that Michelle and a lot of commentors here are pumped…

    I’m watching the 2/28/08 C-Span Interview with Gov. Palen right now – oh – just ended…it was very good.
    She was asked then if she would accept being a VP choice (she was 7 mo pregnant at the time)…she answered she would cross that bridge if it happened…but wasn’t expecting to be asked.

    Sarah Palen is an amazing woman…I’ve heard her speak before…and knew she was on the “list”…but I was still surprised to hear she was the choice.

    She gave a great speech in Dayton.

    No matter how I vote…the question is ..how will all of America vote.

    I’ve commented before…this race is going to be decided by the vice presidential picks…

    Gov. Palen certainly has the right stuff ..to win over a lot of undecided voters at this point.

    This pick eliminates any “minority” advantage Obama may have had and even some of his women voters are likely to jump ship. It will also make the Demorcats look (more) like hypocrites if they continue to claim she’s inexperienced, **ahem** unlike Obama. Perhaps a quick trip to the Middle East and Europe and she’ll be on par with the used-to-be one.

    If nothing else, people will focus on her and less on McCain, so he needs to have as many joint appearances as possible. Let’s just hope they avoid the tag of “Pale & Palin 08″.. hee hee

    One of the Democrats had a good line about McCain:

    He was a brave soldier, but that doesn’t make him a wise leader.” (or something like that).

    What the campaign shows about McCain is first and foremost that he has no principles, or will abandon principle to get elected.

    He bashed the religious right on principle, now he endorses them.

    He was against torture, not anymore.

    He said the Bush tax cuts were reckless, now he wants to be even more reckless.

    Prior to this, I was tending to support Carter II: McCain is a big government liberal and his winning would leave the door open to Hillary in 2012 (to say nothing of killing the chances for conservatism creeping into one of the two major parties).

    With Palin {

    Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
    Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
    And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
    Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
    And often is his gold complexion dimm’d,
    And every fair from fair sometime declines,
    By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d:
    But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
    Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
    Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
    When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,

    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

    }
    I can hope that Johnny toddles around for a while, dies nobly, and leaves Palin in charge for the better part of a dozen years.

    I would like for both sides of the aisle to at least give McCain credit for one thing. In his picking Palin, he guaranteed that history will be made this election. Whether it is a person who has 1/2 African American roots, or a woman as VP, history will happen! He didn’t have to do that, so wheteher you call it pandering or great thinking he did have a hand in making a historical mark on American politics.

    McChump picked her solely for the female vote BO lost when he didn’t pick Hildabeast. After the election the only thing you’ll hear about Palin is that she attended some former world leaders funeral. McChump’s not got to keep anyone around who’s smarter than him,( in his case almost everyone). This reminds me of the song “Hell Bound Train” You lemmings can follow the train over the cliff, but don’t count me in to be cheering for my own demise. Palin seems to have a decent record as a Conservative, but she’e got to know why she was picked. She’s sold out to party politics. Now on top of that she’ll have McAmnestys stink reeking from her poors like bad whiskey. A sad end to an otherwise promising career. Hopeless…

    Palin is a perfect example of what we fought for in the sixties women’s movement. She is what we had in mind. Not the likes of Hillary.

    Not enough to close the deal for me. She seems like a good choice but she is only the VP. Not like she will actually sway that much. When your boss says jump, you say “how high”. It won’t stop the amensty train or mcamensty from reaching across the aisle to poke conservatives in the eye again. We’re still screwed in the long run. Just a carrot. That’s all. Still would rather see him the WH than obummer but he will have to do it without my vote. Still bleeding from the last knife he stuck in my back. Sigh.

    I think she is a great choice. However, she will only be the VP and not the POTUS. I still could never trust McCain. This is a step in the right direction but I think it’s still too early for me to change my mind and vow a vote for the idiot. POTUS is still a vote of the LOTE’s this year again. I won’t vote for the LOTE’s ever again. Give me a conservative or else. No money from me. If he changes his mind on things like global warming and immigration, I might be persuaded to change my mind. Again, a real good pick for veep.

    One of the Democrats had a good line about McCain:

    He was a brave soldier, but that doesn’t make him a wise leader.” (or something like that).

    What the campaign shows about McCain is first and foremost that he has no principles, or will abandon principle to get elected.

    He bashed the religious right on principle, now he endorses them.

    He was against torture, not anymore.

    He said the Bush tax cuts were reckless, now he wants to be even more reckless.

    LOL>.. getting a little concerned are you?

    I’d sawy “you’re screwed on election day” but the correct way yo phrase it is..

    We will save you libs from yourselves.

    Tell you what…She’s obviously against corruption, she has great family values (by example, not “just words”), and foreign policy experience is overrated. Look at all the experience Biden and Bill Clinton have, and they’re dead wrong! If she succeeded McCain during the first term, she could pick a VP that would provide the additional input she’d need. But I’m not sure she’d have to depend on that, either. Looks pretty smart to me. But I don’t expect McCain to croak in the next four years. But those Liberal Losers are sure to bring it up.

    She has fought for all the things I believe in and has done so not to carry votes but because she truly believes in them. Pro 2nd ammendment, pro life, anti government waste, drill till we find meaningful alternatives, tough foreign policy, tough on big Oil. She is the Governor of the only state that borders Russia. You can’t tell me she’s not on top of foreign affairs!

    Go Sara go……!

    Aww… be nice to lgm. His fingers are no doubt working up a feverish storm to locate talking points from anyone that might make a dent in the selection of Gov. Palin.

    When the best the Obama camp has is to immediately attack her experience (which is, with little doubt, leading them exactly where the McCain wants them), it is telling. Instead of congratulating Sen. McCain on making a bold, outside-Washington, and historic (isn’t that what they love) pick, they’re immediately on the attack.

    That’s fear you’re smelling from the O-camp.

    Weary – I hate to be so crass about it, but McCain is 72 and won’t live forever. Reagan was not yet 70 when he started his first term. And President’s tend to age quickly!

       RPG1616: If you hoping for a William Henry Harrison presidency, don’t get to excited; that SOB will hang on for at least four years just to spite Conservatives. As much as I’m going to love seeing Libs slash their wrists, and blow out their brains,(with any luck a mass extiction), I don’t think the country can stand even thirty days of McChump. That would give him time to en-act his top priority, Amnesty! Sara will be out of the country chasing a hearse.

    I’ve followed Palin for very long time. She wants the economy strong so women have a CHOICE to either work or stay home with their family. A perfect role model. She’s a strait talker. You won’t have to look behind her words for meaning.
