I have lived in Alaska for 40 years and I am very aware of the accomplishments of Sarah Palin, however; as my circle of friends and family have commented, Palins nomination is like a high school baseball player being called up to play in the major leagues totally bypassing the college and minor leagues. McCain is playing games! My personal view of him has been poor since the beginning of this election year, I have even wondered if he ever received the proper debriefing when needed after being a prisoner of war for just over 5 years!? Maybe McCain is what we would call a functional NUT and is only trying to seek POWER!

I AM AN PROUD CHRISTIAN, INDEPENDENT WOMAN. I AM DAMN TIRED OF BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS WOMEN BEING DIVIDED OVER THE WOMAN VP ON A TICKET!!! DEMOCRAT PARTY HAD THEIR CHANCE TO HAVE A WOMAN - GERALDINE FERRAO AND ALMOST HILLARY ON THEIR TICKET. IT IS TIME FOR REPUBLICAN WOMEN TO HAVE ONE ON THEIR TICKET. WE AS WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY LOVE TOO MUCH TO MAKE THE SAFARICES TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR WOMEN. I AM JUST GLAD TO SEE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BEING OPEN UP TO START WITH TO HAVE SARAH PALIN ON THEIR PARTY TICKET. IF HILLARY SUPPORTERS THINK IT IS PART OF A DESERATE SITUATION, SO WHAT!! THEY DON’T HAVE TO VOTE FOR MC CAIN THAT IS SIMPLY TO IT. IT IS ONLY UP TO THEM WHETHER OVER ISSUE OR OUT OF LOYALITY TO THE PARTY AFFLICATION ITSELF. i DON’T CARE. I DON’T NEED TO JUDGE IF THEY WON’T VOTE FOR MC CAIN. I AM PROUD OF BOTH PARTIES TO HAVE THEIR CHANCES AS WOMEN TO HAVE ONE ON EACH OF THEIR PARTY. I HOPE MORE OF THE WOMEN ON TICKETS ON THIRD PARTIES AS WELL TOO. WE REALLY VOTE FOR PRESIDENT , NOT THE VP IN MANY SENSES. WHY WORRY ABOUT THAT. I THINK IT IS JUST GREAT TO SEE THE PARTNERS BETWEEN PRESIDENT AND VP TO FEEL COMTORABLE TO EACH OTHER AND HAVE A REAL FRIENDSHIP AND SHARE SAME BELIEFS RATHER BEING PRETEND TO LIKE EACH OTHER. IN 60′S, PAST EX- PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY AND PAST EX- VICE PRESIDENT LYDON JOHNSON NEVER LIKE EACH OTHER, EVEN IN PUBLIC, THEY FOUGHT EACH OTHER ON MANY ISSUES AND NEVER GOT ALONG. JUST VOTE TO WHO YOU WANT. DON’T PANDER OR PAINT EVERY PARTIES INTO NEGATIVES.AS A WOMAN I DON’T AGREE ON EVERYTHING ON SAME SUBJECTS FROM WOMEN OF PARTIES BUT THEY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO HAVE THEIR OPINIONS AND NEED TO RESPECT THAT AND WISH TO SEE WE GET TOEGTHER TO MAKE THE COMMON GROUND 1/2 AND 1/2 OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS INTO ONE. CAN WE DO THAT? SOME OF US MAY HAVE 1% OR 2% DIFFERENCE ON ABORTION, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE ALMOST OVER 50% SIMILARILY. WE OF MANY DIFFERENT PARTIES AS WOMEN TRY SO HARD TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY BETTER AND TRY HARD TO LEARN HOW TO HAVE THE COMPROMISES AND HAVE THE COMMMON IN IS LOVE OUR COUNTRY! WE AS WOMEN HAVE GOTTEN THAT FAR AND OUGHT TO BE PROUD OF IT. THANKS TO SUSAN ANTHONY AND HONOR SUSAN ANTHONY WHO FOUGHT FOR US TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE! IT WAS NOT EASY TO LIVE IN 1920′S FOR WOMEN LIKE SUSAN ANTHONY WHERE THE MEN HAVE TOO MUCH EGOS AND USED TO THINK US AS THE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS. STOP PLEASE! BE PROUD TO SEE THE CHANGES FOR WOMEN OF ALL IN THIS COUNTRY!! THE REASONS WE AS WOMEN WANT TO BE PART OF MAN’S WORLD IS BECAUSE WE AS WOMEN WANT TO BRING OUT THE BEST FROM OUR FEMALE’S VIEWPOINTS, NOT ANY INTENTION TO ENPOWER OVER MAN’S WORLD. ALL WOMEN OF CHRISTIAN, MERELY RELIGIOUS, OR NONE LOVE THE SAME COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN. WE AS WOMEN ARE AMERICANS!!!
