Tough call, but she edges out Dick Cheney for that distinction. Barely.
Earlier today, John McCain named Sarah Palin, the little-known Governor of Alaska, as his Vice Presidential running mate in the 2008 election.
Who is Sarah Palin? Few outside Anchorage know. But we uncovered one interesting fact - she came in second in the 1984 Miss Alaska Pageant!
Here's a photo of Palin now and then ...
That's right. The Thrilla from Wasilla (we just coined that) is an inspiration to many. Who knows, in 24 years, Tara Conner may get her chance to run for V.P.
Anyway, here are some more Sarah Palin pictures ...

unbelievable choice by McCain. I am an independent and was for Hillary. After her defeat for the nomination, I looked very carefully at my choices. Now one of those folks I was looking at, insulted me as a woman. He thinks I was a Hillary supporter because she was a woman. What an insult. I supported her because she is intelligent, experienced, and cares greatly about the things I care about. Now he says I just want a woman, especially an inexperienced, untried person to be one breath away from becoming the president of the United States. This is too scary for me.

KNOW YOUR FACTS ABOUT PALIN.
Palin= BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT + BAD FOR WILDLIFE
FACT: She also opposes the listing of the polar bear as an endangered species.
FACT: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has even signed off on a $400,000 (TAX PAYERS DOLLARS) state-funded propaganda campaign to justify the state’s barbaric wolf slaughter from the skies. Just recently her Dept. of Fish and Game pulled some wolf cubs from their den and shot them as part of a program
FACT: Palin favors drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge.

That's so nicely written. Then you go ahead and vote for them. Beauty Pageant. She has a better chance because post- cancerous McCain put her in that position. The contestants never think they will become president they only answer those questions for the win. This is real life. Our Country is in need of someone who will stay consistent with their policies, someone who will get this country to a place where we can be respected again. She came out and talked about the opposite of what John McCain said. Now all we need is someone with the most executive experience? McCain is bent on revenge like George Bush before him. Just blood thirsty. So much so that he will do whatever he can to get into the office of President. I really have no problem with Ms Palin. I just don't want McCain.
She wont be taken serious if they win she's just there for the win. In this game I lay bets on Obama. In reality, I choose Obama. Nothing any of them say is necessarily going to come to be, but what I like is that they care enough to try. Take away the fact that he is black More people would probably vote for him. Some won't even try to see what he has to say. I was told by someone close to me that his name was too close to Osama. they based a decision on that:( which ever way it goes, God bless America.

Virtually every Onstage Question portion of every beauty queen pageant over the past 80 years has included the query: "If you were president of the United States, what would you do to make the world a better place?"
Apparently, Sarah Palin thought she had to answer the question by actually becoming president.
A 1984 winner of the Miss Wasilla Beauty Queen contest and, subsequently, a runner-up at the Miss Alaska pageant, Sarah Palin will, as Vice-President to the 72-year-old, post-cancerous John McCain, have a greater chance to become President than any woman before her.
The reality: Sarah has more executive experience than all three men -- Obama, McCain, and Biden -- combined.

Leave the baby out of it. Obama is the better choice. That's just the facts. They tried using "he's black" that didn't work. Now they try to match his win, yeah win, with a women, (don't get me wrong, it's about time that women come up in this world) but she is just a pawn to get his foot back in the race. If you want to match Hillary, then you need to do better than HER.She's not ready and he's not ready if this is all he's got.

I agree with JohnK, Is attractive going to be good enough if we go to war and McCain dies, won't that make her commander in chief? I don't know about you, but she was a beauty contestant for god sake. If McCain is still using the good soldier bit against Oboma then what was he thinking selecting her. Furthermore, this is some kind of game to him. It was said that he (McCain)had something up his sleeve, his game plan so to speak. If the American people falls for this **^%$$@# then, that's proof of how he views us. You all, not me.

HAAA HAAA HAAA!!!!! What a Joke! What a big, phony joke.
Are you kidding me? What an ignorant display of pandering. Not only is McCain trying to sway conservative Democrats and disgruntled Clinton supporters by bringing in a woman as his running mate, but he's pacifying the religious right by having a gun-toting, anti-choice hockey mom for VP. I got news for you. Most people aren't that stupid. You're blind if you can't see through this BS.
Sure, she's attractive.. until she opens her mouth. She needs to go back to Alaska for a few more years and chill out. Then again, Alaska may be just as happy to get rid of her.

so excited about this pick.....Obama talked the talk about "change" and "hope" and McCain (who knew) walked the walk with Gov. Sarah's pick.
