Sarah Heath Palin rose to prominence by impressing voters more with gumption and warmth than an established record.

Sarah Palin’s name has been floating around for weeks as a dark horse running mate possibility. The upside is that she brings youth, gender, and conservative credentials to the ticket. The downside is that this pick could also doom his campaign.

The current Republican vice-presidential candidate is shaping up to be not only a celebrity, but a sex symbol. "It's getting harder and harder to distinguish news about the 2008 presidential race from the latest chatter from celebrity gossip magazines."

Although it defies all logic and common sense, the McCain campaign continued to paint Sarah Palin as more experienced and qualified to be president than Barack Obama. What is laughable is that the McCain campaign thinks that people will buy this.

Many people believe that Sarah Palin is a terrible choice for a running mate. But you have to remember who the other options were.

Sen. John McCain has picked Alaska Gov. Sarah as his running mate, a senior McCain campaign official told CNN on Friday.

Her father shot the grizzly bear whose hide is now draped over the sofa in her office. She, too, hunts and fishes. She runs marathons. She delivered her fifth child during her first term as governor.

John McCain's risky choice of Gov. Sarah Palin gives him a running mate who doubles down on his maverick image.

"I think people's families are off limits," Obama declared.
