Breaking: McCain Picks Palin Up Off the Street For Veep
According to the New York Times, John McCain has tapped Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Appeal to disaffected Clinton voters? Trying to lock up the Mike Gravel fan base?
Update: Although Governor Palin is not a lawyer, there have already been several legal issues mentioned with regard to her candidacy. Just last month, her own state legislature opened an investigation into allegations that she tried to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from his state trooper job
Law professor Ann Althouse has already gone on record with a furry opinion about Palin's credentials.
Without a professional legal background to pontificate on (compare Joe Biden), we here at ATL will continue to scour our sources to bring you the latest on Palin's positions about the things that matter to lawyers, big and small. Anyone know her views on SCOTUS nominations?

J.D.? If not = not qualified. For a post on this blog or to be V.P.

Is this some sort of sick joke? She's governor of a sparsely populated state and before that was mayor of Wasila--population roughly 5,000. This doofus turned 72 today and his running mate is a self-described "hockey mom"? Wtf?!?!
she is banging and her daughter is a total JB hottie.

He "tabbed" her? Like with post-it flags? Perhaps you mean "tapped" her.
ATL is not where I go to get my politics.
If no JD then I don't care, even if she is a lawmaker.
Can ATL do a post on pricks called 'Robert' that do not want to be called 'Bob' and jackasses called 'Michael' who dont want to be called 'Mike'?
I've met plenty of those in my time . . .
Keep talking 3: Dems are going to hemorrhage independent moms and blue collar votes. Very smart pick.
A dark horse, female Alaskan governor is McCain's pick? Talk about pandering.
Anyway, from CNN her bio isn't particularly strong. So, I guess that means the "ready to lead" line of attack is goner since she has almost no experience either.
Elie - I'd like to here more about the story about her being under investigation. That seems like a really big no-no for a possible veep pick.
Not only no JD... no graduate degree whatsoever.
Bye bye argument that Obama is too inexperienced and not ready to be president.
At least McCain is consistent about this anti-celebrity thing.
SHE is a SHE.
This is GENIUS.
"Change" = America's first female VP!!!
He has certainly locked in Alaska's three electoral votes. Please don't forget that she was the runner up in the Miss Alaska contest of 1984. Maybe she should make her aceeptance speech in a bikini--might get a few votes from the horny ATL associates on this site.
No JD > Syracuse JD
Sorry, but Palin destroys Biden
First to call her The Governatrix, which I'm sure Lat would have done were he writing this.
ATL posters are pathetic = if not HLS JD, then you have to appear in a bikini?
our profession has really moved forward . . .
I'm as conservative as they come but this is the dumbest thing I've seen in some time. He just lost the election.

She has a bachelor's in journalism from the University of Idaho....
I'm sure Idaho is a wonderful university, but is this really who we want running the country when McCain croaks in the first two years?!?!?
Bye bye argument that Obama is too inexperienced and not ready to be president.
At least McCain is consistent about this anti-celebrity thing.
I am an independent, not registered with either party, who supported Hillary. I was on the fence before today.
Now I am going to vote for McCain / Palin. This is great.
pro-life, pro-gun, pro-ANWR drilling female = Devil Woman. perfect successor to Cheney. too bad it won't happen.
ellie mystal sucks
please leave immediately
He picked a woman! That GUARANTEES McDying will win the election now!
It's funny that she's got more executive experience than McCain, Obama, or Biden combined.
She's a good pick, I think. She has made her career winning primaries against corrupt Republican incumbents... she's really the ONLY non-Washington insider in the race right now.
How progressive of him...cough..cough.
This is a smart pick. It's one thing to argue the Presidential candidate has no experience, and another to argue the Vice Presidential candidate has no experience. The Obama/Biden ticket has put its experience argument in the number 2 on the ticket, whereas McCain/Palin can argue that the commander in chief will have experience, while bringing in a fresh voice into the administration.
McCain says he puts country first???
18, he already lost the election. All conservatives can really do at this point is grouse pre-emptively about Obama presidency.
This is a phenomenal pick. Kudos to JM and GOP! Like McCain, Palin is a Real American Maverick, and a true outdoorswoman. She is not shy to criticize her own party, and is in favor of oil expansion in her own state. Vice President Palin will bring a fresh perspective to the White House, and will not back down to old foreign leaders. Hats off to a fine pick. In sports phraseology, ol' Maverick he hit a home run.
Whoo Hoo McCain/Palin '08!

This is a great pick for a number of reasons.
1. She is a woman. She picks up the morons who will vote for someone strictly because of that person's lack of stones.
2. She is a woman. That means Biden will look like a jerk when he makes his typical, snarky Bidenesque comments at the debate.
3. She is an Alaskan. She knows energy/oil.
4. She is conservative. She'll get the conservatives on the McCain express.
5. She is more experienced than Obama, so the experience issue is still in play. Obama has still never had any executive experience. She's vetoed bills, fired people, hired people, etc. In fact, she's been governor as long as Obama's been a Senator, but she hasn't been campaigning since 143 days into her governorship, so she's actually way more experienced than Obamanation.
6. She's kinda hot, and she hunts, fishes, and rides snowmobiles.
7. She's got a baby with Down's syndrome, and she kept the baby. She is sympathetic and unselfish.
8. She's not Joe Biden.
9. She's kinda hot.
10. Her high school basketball nickname was "Sarah Barracuda", which, seems to me, very Cheney-esque.
I tried four or five times to submit a comment and was given an error message. Anyone else having problems?
#34 -- excellent analysis.
Yeah, I did. Agreeing with 15 and now 34. Reiterating that BIDEN IS A MORON.
"Like McCain, Palin is a Real American Maverick, and a true outdoorswoman."
McCain's an outdoorswoman? Better Republican trolls, please!
She went back to work 3 days after having her son this April. Family values galore!!!
If Sarah Palin gave one of her nuts to Obama, she would still have more.
Can't wait to see if she can speak. I'm psyched by the choice. It will make for an interest debate.
I question the judgment of any person - woman or otherwise -- who decides to name her children after something you run on (Track), a shitty city in Virginia (Bristol), a dwarf in an 80's Ron Howard movie (Willow), a plant genus (Piper), and a subject at which my Asian brethren tend to excel (Trig).
I think McDying made a mistake here
she is great looking. I will vote her.
So if (when?) McCain croaks at his desk from severe old age, this slag is POTUS? Not sure if I'm in....
38: your grammatical nitpicking is really dumb at this point.
30: as you have this all sewn up, in your mind, then I trust neither you nor your friends will bother to vote on November 4th and instead will stay in the office and review documents...that's what you should do.
I was a McCain supporter but am reconsidering my voite now. McCain is 72 and is just one stroke away from death/dementia. Do we really want someone like Palin in Charge of this country? She is 100% unqualified to lead. This choices shows an exterme lack of judgement on McCain's part and in my mind questions his decision making ability.
Think McCain’s age is an issue now? Picture her standing on a stage next to McCain. He is going to look like her grandpa.
BREAKING -- Palin and McCain are not attorneys.
THIS SITE SUCKS.
42--her husband is Eskimo. Possibly you don't know what you're talking about. Anyone know anything about Eskimo names?
42,
Are Sasha and Malia really so much better than Willow and Bristol?
Nontraditional names = TTT
awful, awful pick - definitely pandering. you don't pick a dark horse unless very qualified. otherwise, the pick is rightfully seen as an attempt to win some demographic. not gonna work. now it's gotta be obama/biden.
http://www.vpilf.com/
Biden should so challenger Palin to a comb over-off. He'd rock her world.
McDying is pandering - if he croaks, i do not want that loser as my president
Breakdown of comment 34 (my comments in CAPS):
1. She is a woman. She picks up the morons who will vote for someone strictly because of that person's lack of stones. WON'T EVEN BE ENOUGH TO WIN ONE STATE.
2. She is a woman. That means Biden will look like a jerk when he makes his typical, snarky Bidenesque comments at the debate. SHE'LL EMBARRASS HERSELF RE: FOREIGN POLICY
3. She is an Alaskan. She knows energy/oil. SHE IS ALSO WRONG ABOUT THEM AND PROVES SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT BY FAVORING DRILLING IN ANWR
4. She is conservative. She'll get the conservatives on the McCain express. LIKE THEY WERE EVER GOING TO NOT VOTE FOR MCWAR. WHAT A BLUFF. HE SHOULD'VE GONE WITH HIS OLD GUT AND PICKED RIDGE, WHO WOULD HAVE WON PA AND A BUNCH OF INDIE VOTERS
5. She is more experienced than Obama, so the experience issue is still in play. Obama has still never had any executive experience. She's vetoed bills, fired people, hired people, etc. In fact, she's been governor as long as Obama's been a Senator, but she hasn't been campaigning since 143 days into her governorship, so she's actually way more experienced than Obamanation. INCORRECT. SHE WAS ELECTED GOV IN 2006; OBAMA ELECTED SENATOR IN 2004.
6. She's kinda hot, and she hunts, fishes, and rides snowmobiles. DICK CHENEY LIKES TO HUNT, TOO.
7. She's got a baby with Down's syndrome, and she kept the baby. She is sympathetic and unselfish. JOE BIDEN'S FIRST WIFE AND DAUGHTER DIED IN A CAR CRASH AND HE WAS SWORN INTO THE SENATE FROM THEIR BEDSIDE. CRY ME A RIVER.
8. She's not Joe Biden. SHE'S ALSO NOT A LAWYER. JUST LIKE BUSH/CHENEY, NO JDS ON THE BALLOT
9. She's kinda hot. RELEVANT
10. Her high school basketball nickname was "Sarah Barracuda", which, seems to me, very Cheney-esque. ALWAYS A GOOD THING TO BE LIKE DICK.
53: website = awesome
34 here--one other reason she's a great choice. Now, both people on the Republican ticket have children who are on active duty in the military. Instant cred on that too.

McCain has had skin cancer four times.
Despite the inevitable "who?" reaction from many who don't regularly follow politics, this idea has been circulating in DC political circles for the past couple months. I suspect the campaign's internal polling indicates she will connect very well with working mothers - who are now ripe for the picking after Hillary got dissed. The whole "undermines McCain's experience argument" is completely Democratic spin - VPs are allowed to have limited experience (though her actual executive experience is a major boost relative to some junior legislator). No one would question the experience of the Dem ticket if it was Biden/Obama - it's Obama's name at the top that's the problem.
she is hot! good choice. 2 non-lawyers against the harvard law review editor with 1050 on his sats and mr. hair plugs show me your budget biden.
It's all over folks, Obama will win . . . I hope you like paying high taxes my > $250k brothers
If Hilary supporters vote for McCain because of Palin, their right to vote should be taken away because they are polar opposites (this coming from a Republican).
Her son is being deployed to Iraq in September. Great.
I'm an Obama supporter and want a Democrat in the White House very badly, but I don't think McCain's choice was a foolish one. I, for one, am worried.
she is hot! good choice. 2 non-lawyers against the harvard law review editor with 1050 on his sats and mr. hair plugs show me your budget biden.
COVER HER FUCKING SCANDAL.
Long story short, she used her power to have her sister's (albeit crazy) ex-husband fired from his position as a state trooper. Back in June, even the AK republicans turned on her.
See generally http://www.adn.com/monegan/
http://www.adn.com/politics/story/469135.html
and
http://www.adn.com/politics/story/476430.html
It's pretty saucy stuff: taserings, death threats, firings.
Should I vote relative to which protected class received suffrage first?
Agree with 34's analysis except that whether people will focus on 47's point about her total lack of experience instead of those things remains to be seen.
Personally, the lack of experience works to McCain's advantage.
When people call out her lack of experience it actually highlights Obama's complete lack of experience. He was Senator for a few years and ran for President from the start. So when people ask "who is this lady and how is she qualified to be VP" they will start to realize that Obama is just famous for being famous and has done NOTHING on his own.
When people worry that if McCain dies this woman with no experience will become the president they will be told that the other ticket has the person with less experience currently running for President.
Her weakness as leader is fine because she's running for VICE president while Obama is running for President.
All the advantages of 34 therefore make it a smart pick.
61, get real. He 20 months as Gov of Alaska is a "major boost"? What planet do you live on? And the problem is that she has significantly LESS experience than Obama and will be expected to take over in the event that a 72 year old President loses capacity? That's a real risk.
Fantastic Pic. This is truly exciting. This is the Official Maverick Ticket. It helps to have a real cowboy state in Alaska.
Palin will not back down to world leaders. She will not back down to Biden in the debates, and will surely fluster him. If Biden attacks, he will be perceived as bullying and negative. The more he attacks, the stronger Palin becomes. That is the Genius of McCain, the genius he learned while imprisoned in the POW cell for five years in Nam.
Also, the false rumors about Lieberman, Romney all add to the excitement.
And she is a woman.... this is true CHANGE. And attractive. Women will want to identify with her.
She was a runner up in the Miss Alaska pageant a few years ago so she totally knows all about the Iraq, South Africa and Asian countries. Like, such as.
62/66: I have never seen that number before. How do you know what Obama got on his SATs?

wikipedia says her husband is an Eskimo... named Todd.
Obama! Obama! Obama!
Hey, it takes some intelligence and character to rise from a fatherless black child to where he is today.
McDying? He married daddy's rich (and useless) little girl and left his crippled wife . . . is that what we want in America?
I can't figure out what Elie likes more...being liberal or eating cake.
70: people will focus on the PRESIDENTIAL candidate's experience first, and worry (if at all) about the VICE presidential candidate's experience second. I don't see how Obama thinks he'll get to pull the experience card on Palin without making it worse for himself, while McCain can continue to point out his lack of experience without hurting his own campaign. And, if you think the idea of McCain dying in office will work for Obama, just think through how palatable it will be for Obama to start talking about McCain dying...that's not going to win over voters.

70 - sorry to see you so nervous right now.
-61
She will resonate very well with blue collar voters.
Men will love her because she's hot, hunts, fishes, like guns and has a husband who wouldn't even know what arugula is.
Women will be very comfortable with her and he's got a very sympathetic story with 2 sons - one with downs syndrome and another who's going to Iraq.
Alaska is a Republican state, but her approval ratings were in the 80s and 90s for the first half of her term. People who know her like her.
And of course, Biden will look like a creepy ass in the debate with her.
73: Not flaming, but nothing on BO's resume suggests he's a brilliant guy. Affirmative action can get you into college, HLS, and onto HLS law review. Do we have anything to suggest that he doesn't have a 1050?
I was a McCain supporter but am reconsidering my vote. McCain is 72 and just a stroke away from death or being incapacitated (not to mention it is documented that he is showing signs of dementia). Do we really want a 44 year old "hockey mom" to be president? This choice shows a clear lack of judgment on his part.
61, the problem is McCain is very old, has had cancer four times, and just might actually be going senile. There is a real possibility that he could not finish his first term. In which case we would have the Mayor of some small city, turned governor of a rural and sparsely populated state running the country. Oh yeah, she has only been doing that for about 2 years. And oh yeah, she stands against pretty much everything that Hillary and democrats stand for. The pick was one of desperation. It may work, but it probably won't

Who's hotter? Palin or Hillary?
Post your votes folks
83: Hmm, let me think about that. You ask "Do we really want a 44 year old "hockey mom" to be president?" The right question is "Do we really want the risk of a 44 year old hockey mom, or do we want the guarantee of having a less experienced Jesse Jackson-lite?"
I call BS on these "Republicans" or "McCain" supporters who suddenly say they question his sanity, health, etc. No McCain supporter suddenly realized his age and/or health; neither was any true supporter going to vote for him in the hopes that he would pick a good VP to take over. Nothing but flaming going on.
Jesse Jackson-lite? U suck big time my friend
And hear this: The 44-year-old Palin, a former city councilwoman, Alaskan mayor, star high school basketball player and beauty queen, is a Republican political maverick (does this sound familiar on a McCain ticket?).
She overthrew her own state party's corrupt establishment in 2005-06 to run without its support and win on a reform ticket against a Democratic former governor, Tony Knowles. See video below.
She's been enjoying statewide popularity ratings of 70% to 80%, not least for her down-to-earth touches, like selling the previous governor's jet plane to fly commercially and driving herself to work in the family Jetta. She's worked against government pork barrel projects; again, a familiar phrase.
Palin, the first Alaskan governor born after statehood, was actually born and raised in Sandpoint, Idaho. She is the mother of five (see family photo below) and is married to a native Alaskan, Todd Palin, who is a seasonal fisherman and an oil field worker offseason. He races snowmobiles on vacation.
The governor is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Assn., an ardent hunter and outdoorswoman (her family has its own float plane) and is a sure bet to please the antiabortion wing of the Republican Party.
When prenatal genetic testing of their fifth child showed he had Down syndrome last spring, the couple went ahead with the birth in May and now talk of him as the joy of their life. (See photo below.) One of ...
... their other four children entered the Army and deploys to Iraq next month.
(from the LATimes; sounds like a winner to me)
Excuse me Mr. President, who is that under your desk? Oh it's the VP.
61/80,
I'm significantly less nervous than I was four hours ago. But thanks for the concern.

Yes, #92, agreed, but does she have a n HLS JD? didnt think so . . . snap!
93: Bill, get off ATL and get back to work...and stop fantacizing about the old days.
I hope undecided female voters recognize this as a stunt that insults their intelligence -- essentially suggesting that they are so ignorant as to vote for any female on the ticket, regardless of her positions on issues
what about the total lack of education on this ticket? i don't believe that she needs to be a lawyer, but seriously...not even grad school... the world will die laughing at us if we put those DUMMIES in the white house.
just think of the comments that would be made if she and her equally uneducated husband were one of the couples in the legal eagle wedding watch. oh, wait, they aren't even qualified enough for that...oops.
McChipmunk for President!
91 & 95: What does Jesse Jackson list as his occupation on his resume? Community organizer? OK, stfu.
This is as smart as the corner office partner going out with the mail-room hottie.
102 = Fascist
# 91 here to # 102: you stfu!
You is a racialist!
77. Cake. BTW: I had GREAT law related angles for a number of the potentials. McCain spring an Alaskan on me. I guess I have to up "Northern Exposure" on my netflix list.

104: Racist for drawing lines between Jesse Jackson's excesses and his job.
I am an independent, not registered with either party, who supported Hillary. I was on the fence before today.
Now I am going to eat babies. This is great.
102, what does Barack Obama list as his occupation on his resume? U.S. Senator? Ok, stfu.

Elie's whiny, closed-minded Liberalism (as opposed to liberalism) seeps out in every post he makes.
109: So just because he's waaaayyyyyyy more successful than Jesse Jackson somehow cleanses his resume?
# 102, u suck
Obama himself is nothing but a stunt that insults everyone's intelligence. 2 years in the Senate with no accomplishments whatsoever to show for it. He is where he is for no other reason than that he is half-black.
82 -- You're a dumb RACIST moron. Sorry you went to a TTT law school, but stop blaming affirmative action.
Barack graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. That's top 10% of the HLS class. Exams are graded blindly.
What have you done with your TTT life? You can't blame your failures on affirmative action.
Dems have to be concerned because the "security moms" had a huge impact in the last election. To the extent they were with Clinton, they will likely be more comfortable with McCain overall, and comforted that he at least thought about the female vote when picking his VP, who would have no trouble standing up to rogue nations and terrorists.
Sorry about your tiny pink VP Candidate, bro.
First to say Univ. of Idaho is a TTT! Do we really want that type of lack of pedigree in the White House?
118: 82 here. I'm on the Supreme Court, brah.

She looks like my favorite hooker at the brothel just down the street from my office in Bratislava!!! Ergo, McCain/Palin in '08!!!!!
Flalin - ur I mean Palin is a stupid choice - must have been a senior moment for Mr. Old.
Dear 10:
What it means is that Obama cannot say a word about her lack of experience, because his experience level is barely beyond hers. In addition, she is at the bottom of the ticket, whereas the most inexperienced person on the Democratic ticket is at the top.
She is fresh, outspoken, a proven reformer, and a Washington outsider.
Not my first choice, but neither Colin Powel nor HRC were available.
Maybe if Obama can duck 10 more debates with McCain and hold a dozen more celebrity rock concerts and can shoot of another $50 million worth of fireworks and flash, he can be president. However, I doubt it.
Which is a shame, because Obama will lower taxes, keep all American jobs on-shore, give everyone health insurance, end America’s dependence on foreign oil in a decade, create 5 million new jobs, and give everyone eternal life—although in the event of a foreign policy blunder not necessarily in that order.
Guys is my high used to pick hot chicks as their running mate all the time; 'twas no big deal!
