She may be a nice person but please be serious she is not ready to run our country in the tough times we are going through now. Plus her husband was a strong supporter of the group to break Alaska away from the US.

It's a shame we couldn't know where and when to meet Gov. Palin. I would have liked the opportunity to either had met her as a supporter or not. But to have ad the chance to meet/greet a person who could be our next VP is something ALL voters should do.

So excited to have a woman on the GOP ticket. GOP first woman on the Supreme Court. First Secretary of State woman (and an Black Woman at that) The Dems snubbed their woman.

I believe Palin is the best thing that could happen to this country! I look forward to her being our Vice President! We need pitbulls with lipstick running our country!

Posted by: Ann on Oct 11, 2008 at 08:52 PM
Sarah, I can see thru your lipstick!!!!

Posted by: Elsie Location: Marietta, Oh on Oct 11, 2008 at 06:34 PM
We need more people like Sarah that we can trust to help govern and bring morality back to the USA and she is not associated with terrorists and criminals and a little beauty won't hurt either. Go Sarah!!!!!!

I am very much looking forward to having her visit. Gov Sarah Palin represents and commits herself to the American Dream. Keeping lower taxes for small businesses gives everyone a chance to not only have a job but accomplish anything he/she wants. I grew up poor and have been able to make it through medical school and work as a physician. Entitlement (welfare system) and socialized healthcare do NOT work and that is what Obama is proposing. Depedency on the government is not the answer. Working hard and having the opportunities available for those who are willing to work hard is the answer!!!!

I don't know who could possibly take anything she says seriously.

Posted by: Kelli Location: Vienna on Oct 11, 2008 at 04:14 PM
I'm SOO excited! I'll be there, if we have a ETA and location soon.

Posted by: Edith D Location: BTown on Oct 10, 2008 at 09:42 PM
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why? Is there a beauty pageant happening?

I believe country has one too many pigs with lipstick.

I did not even know the post offices were open later. If this had been told to the public maybe they would have had more business.

Oh look! There's Russia!
