Basically what the McCain campaign is saying is that Hillary can stand the heat and shouldn't cry foul if the media examines her closely.

But with Palin they should give her a by simply because she is a woman?

Isn't that a very cynical double standard?

Kinda like Obama four years ago.

Different circumstances as well, as Palin has just been "introduced" as part of a national presidential ticket.

Tell the truth: aside from those who are residents of Alaska, who here has heard of Sarah Palin before this past week or so? At the publication time of that Newsweek article (October 2007) up until recently Palin was still a cypher for almost everyone (including McCain from all appearances).

I'll say one thing it indicates to me- that the unemployed and disenfranchised are getting looked over and left out in general. Its true that tons of small towns have meth problems, and thats the reason why. I love the way politicians are all about "CHANGE" so long as real problems the middle american vote they are going after have to deal with never get dealt with.

Only the gullible actually bought that "change" crap. Everyone else is just deciding which is the lesser evil. Right now, Obama appears to be less evil than McCain - or at least less like George Bush.

Oh, totally. One party wants to rape you wearing a creepy stocking pulled over their head and the other party wants to rape you too but they have the decency to wear a nice superman mask while doing it. Those are the kind of differences that really matter in deciding between evils. Bend over American voter, we've got some lesser evil for you to take!

Good lord. she's a reformer and a fiscal conservative on a Bushian scale!  this woman MUST be the next Vice President of the United States.  I wonder if she's a Cheney love child, secretly hidden away in Alaska... to be brought out only in the case of dire emergency

Hey, at least she supports drilling in Alaska. We need that oil, and we need it NOW!

Proper link of photoshopped picture

This isn't the first time a relatively unknown has been on the ticket.

Agreed.  But much of the concern is due to McCain being the oldest candidate to be potentially sworn in, and having had 2-4 occurrences of skin cancer (reports vary). 

All things are not equal.

Are you disputing my initial claim?
