		<description>Siren! What about me? Am I not one of your intelligent friends? I love Sarah!
;-)
She&#039;s smart, actually has accomplished stuff, not just gone to long meetings to talk about stuff. She votes yes or no, not &quot;present&quot;, can change her mind on stuff as more details emerge and not be ashamed of it. (i.e. the Bridge to Nowhere) She has high aspirations but is fallible like the rest of us.
Mostly I love her because she is a doer not a hand-wringer.
I&#039;m an Indepublicrat who will be voting for John and Sarah. ;-)</description>

		<description>Oh Kahuna, you make me sad.  All the intelligent women I know find Sarah Palin the ultimately insulting pander.  They COULD have won some of us with a smart, savvy, politically successful woman.  I don&#039;t care how hot she is (because let&#039;s face it, she is).  They lost my demographic by choosing a screechy right wing hypocritical creationist and assuming we&#039;d bite because she&#039;s got ovaries.</description>

		<description>As for me I believe John McCain and Sarah Palin present reality with dignity.  The dignity being defined as a verb, if I may. Each statement is positive with encouragement and hope for the future of our lives, families, country, our world.

The democracy we enjoy will express where our country stands today. I want to encourage the each citizen to look at the track record of each candiate without prejudice for party, race or gender. Look as though you were looking into another countries government to offer advice.
Analysis character by research on your own of each candiate. We have a great privilege in voting; great privilege finds necessary great responsibility. Think real life. Analysis where our country is today, where are we going. Look for specifics that  remain the same rather than change with the crowd, or city. 

Democracy is about each citizen talking responsiblity for each day of life. That respnsibility is toward the candiate that will best uphold the elements of decision toward a stronger nation with values that reflect our purpose.

I am voting for John and Sarah.</description>

		<description>Funny, that no women have commented on this blog Bill. Men think she is hot and watch her lips as she speaks. I guess women listen.

And so does NY Times writer Judith Warner:

		<description>Uh...Jerry? We&#039;ve seen Sen Obama without his teleprompter.  Check out youtube. And doesn&#039;t he even use a teleprompter for his &quot;town hall&quot; meetings? Who types the words that he reads. :)</description>

		<description>Writes &quot;there&quot; own speeches?

uh... nuff said buddy. two funny. 

and if you look it up idiot you will see that his speech wasn&#039;t a speech written by a committee OR a speech writer... Obama wrote the speech himself, working on it for two days and nights.... and showed it to only a few of his top advisers.</description>

		<description>Jerry wrote...&quot;But since you brought it up, you realize that Palin didn’t write a single word of her speech right? Former longtime Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully is the man behind her speech.
Generally, politicians write their own speeches, or at least the first draft.
On the other hand, Obama wrote his speech himself.&quot;

Jerry, what are you naive.  There&#039;s not a single presidential politician of the last 25 years that writes there own speeches!  That&#039;s why they have these people called &quot;Speech-writers&quot;on their campaign staff....try looking the word up some time so you don&#039;t come off sounding like an idiot.</description>

		<description>Governor Palin named one of her sons Track because she spends a lot of time running and the other son Trig because she spends a lot of time shooting.

Daughter Bristol has announced that out of respect for family tradition, she will name her baby &quot;Bareback.&quot;
