In Reply to: Finally, a party that will put a woman in power - Go McCain and Palin

Every single person chosen for anything is going to have pros and cons, It's funny that IMMEDIATELY people are jumping on the things they don't think are good about her, but that's to be expected... And it is true, we don't know who she is, but WHO THE HECK (i had to change it from the other word LOL) IS BARACK OBAMA? I mean, let's get serious folks. Give everyone a fair chance to see what they are all about. I chose to see Obama speak when he came to my home town and enjoyed watching him, and I just now enjoyed watching Palin speak. She seems like an extraordinary woman and I think it was an awesome choice!
