Because McCain chose her as his running mate in a futile attempt to court more female voters. I'm also told she's physically attractive.

She's stupider than Dubya, and that's saying something.

McCain only introduced Palin to the world. She took the reigns after that. She resigned as govenor for AK because she has more of a world stage doing what she does now. She is ask to attend these functions for tea party people and the like. She is influential and does command the media/peoples attention. Why is this? As far as physical, she is not going to break into a strip tease anytime soon. If that is what the world is waiting for there will be much disappointment.

This is the kind of garbage opinion that those on the right love to fart out at every opportunity. "He won because he was black" doesn't hold water given the black candidates over the years - Sharpton, Jackson, Chisolm, Keyes namely. By your poorly thought out rationale, they should have all been president.

The better man won. Get over it. Stop blaming race.

Jackson... thats hilarious...

Like it or not the mans race was a major factor not to me but to the electorate at large. They were 'motivated'.

I agree here. McCain was outclassed and out manuevered. Obama offered up a change in direction. Palin had very little to do with losing the seat for McCain. He was doomed from the word go.

I keep hearing this chant from the left but frankly when I listen to her speak she doesent come off as stupid.

I think the lib's are doing their best to paint her as stupid and likely even believe that. Yet she continues to be a powerful political force even after leaving office. That doesent sound too stupid to me.

Cant wait till November

I don't see what there is to like. McCain made a very bad mistake with her that cost him the election. She is political poison from any side.

I dont think Ms Palin cost him the election honestly not that she helped any but I dont think he stood a chance against the 'hope and change' media blitz and the overwhelming desire to place a black man in the oval office.

No, McCain was outclassed by Obama's team. Obama was groomed years in advance. His team learned to use the internet to reach a particular crowd. He was able to identify with the voters. He made 'shivers' go up peoples legs. McCain was left to wallow in his old school mentality. In short, no matter who McCain selected as a running mate he was doomed.
