what Life would be like if McCain got elected, (by hook or crook) and knowing that family was a breath away from the Presidency and power of the United States.. It would be worse than any Saturday Night live skit, ever....

It would be a nightmare scenario if McCain passed, and She got the reigns of power. You do realize that in terms of Science, some where, in another dimension, Sarah Palin is running the Country in a Bizarro Alternate Universe.

wow... just wow.

The Good Ol' Boys would never allow that! You know it.

She'd be a PR President.... like Reagan and Bush. Someone else would be running things (they HAVE to anyway). She'd be a rubber stamp.

And we'd (again?) be the joke of the world.... the bad scary joke with a huge military.

She's too vain, too narcissistic to ever let anyone tell her what to do. She'd always want some large measure of control or power. Her ego is too inflated. She'd think she could do no wrong and would answer to no one. She never even did anything McCain wanted. She couldn't be bothered to study for debates or lessons that the Republicans tried to give her on foreign policy and history to prepare for interviews. I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

Please get all the Democrats you know to get out and vote this year.

We cannot afford to have people of the ilk of the Palins running our country. And really, they are pretty typical Republicans. They are not capable of leading our country.

Drunk, camo dress, party crash, Hummer limo, bloody pavement, F bombs, knuckle sandwiches, police roll-up...It's Palin Time! The only things missing are the spent rounds and a couple of dead wolves.

And a 5 year old in the hummer w/ multiple drunk adults. Should have given the child a breathalyzer test as well. The Palin clan sound exactly like the type of alcoholics who get a kick out of giving beer to their kid.

She was a total failure at politics, starting in Alaska. However, she is smart in the fact that she knew how to take that publicity and turn it into big cash. How else could they afford a Hummer, 300 dollar sunglasses, beer, and a thong dress for little miss pretty.

It's all about the money and living in a make believe world. Thank you John McCain for this major contributor of the dumbing of America.

They are extremely low-class people who came into money and fame. Picture the last season of Rosanne, where the Connors win the lottery, only without the TV charm.

I forced myself to listen to the Bristol Palin audio in which she gives her version of the Thrilla in Wasilla. After listening once, I have listened a few more times for the entertainment value!!!

She tells the cops her 5-year-old child was with her in the limo (or words to that effect). A 5-year-old? Out at midnight in a limo full of falling-down, shit-faced drunks looking for a fight??

I nominate Bristol Palin for Mother of the Year.

Seriously -- after retiring from the Army in the mid-1990's, I worked six years for the Methodist Church in the coalfields of WV-KY-TN-VA -- you know, the region that's the butt of a lot of trailer trash jokes? I met and worked with a lot of (mostly) single mothers who had made some really, really bad choices but damn if I can recall one WV single mother living on food stamps in a run-down single-wide who would expose her 5-yr-old to a drunken midnight brawl.
