Well, die-hard Dems that are also hockey fans will now have a tough choice. Gov. Palin is a self-proclaimed hockey mom.
Presumably, all the hockey folk on this list are one-issue voters (hockey) and are clamoring to vote for a ticket where at least one of the nominees actually knows what hockey is.
If anybody votes for her just because her kid plays hockey, give me your address so I can send the mob after you.
Voting for her just because she's a woman (which I suspect many people will do - hopefully not enough to have an impact) is bad enough. Voting for her just because she's a hockey mom? People who do that simply should not be allowed to vote.
I vote for Mrs. Stall... all of her sons play top level hockey.... now that's a hockey mom folks... :p
OK McCain says obama has no experience, then he goes and grabs a former mayor turned governer of a land no one sees and turns her into his vp. He himself said the person behind him should be able to lead and then he goes and grabs a lady thats younger than obama and never even really done anything. Hockey mom yes, VP NO! I'm not trying to be an ass either but if the states is dumb enough to elect the republicans again, then we should put up a wall and a no fly zone lol.
she still has more experience than the man at the TOP of the other ticket. and the only one with executive experience of the 4, short as it is
lets stick to hockey folks, leave the leftwing stuff the for the other sites. we love hockey, keep it this way.
if the left can vote for a community organizer, than we can vote for a hockey mom, she only did that to appeal to voters that she is one of them,
Uh, predfan, you seem just a tad hypocritical when you post "Stick to hockey" then follow it with if the left can do this or whatever else. Both candidates suck as far as I am concerned, and their VP choices leave a lot to be desired.
The fact that McCain appointed a woman so underwhelming qualified - and one which stands directly in contradiction of a woman's true values - is actually insulting to the gender as it assumes American women are going to vote with strictly with their vaginas. Predfan - you're pathetic. If anything, McCain's 27 years in Washington as opposed to Obama's none, is a fact that favours Obama. Its time for change and if this country fails to fall through, for the first time I will truly be ashamed to be American and I will seriously consider moving.
We won't stop you. Need a bus ticket?
Politicsbuzz.com?
As much as I love hockey, it's not on my checklist of qualifications for a potential president. But did you see the Dayton Bombers (ECHL) owner giver her and Senator McCain the sweaters at the unveiling?
blueline - with the ludicrous gas prices, yes I could.
Is she a hockey mom all the time or only when the press is around?
She's not a hockey mom. A hockey mom does not leave a handicapped newborn with another person to campaign for a VP job. A real hockey mom puts her kids first, not her political aspirations!Sorry keep politics out of my NHL! She is using the Hockey Mom title to appear family oriented. Funny how both her and her 17 year old daughter were pregnant at the same time. Do the math - she has a 2 month old and her 17 year old is 5 months pregnant!
Phigment your a sexist retard. Keep buying into left wing crap. Palin is more qualified for the job then Barry is for POTUS. She runs a state that supplies the US with 20% of it fuel. Obamas claim to fame? no legislation and community organizer read: registering gang bangers, drug dealers and hookers to vote. If the best the left has is barry, a hockey mom is quantum leap forward. At least she didnt think having kids was "punishment".
It's an insult to insinuate that I should vote for someone who's simply a hockey mom or a woman.I'm voting for her because she's a major Babe!!!! Have you seen her????
Please don't associate that brainless idiotic woman with hockey. She is in no way a hockey mom because I honestly wouldn't consider her a mom. No mother should force their child to through away her chance at a life to have a baby she can't handle and force her to mary the guy who knocked her up as a means to elevate her political status. Bringing an unwanted child into a loveless marriage should be considered criminal not an exercise of good morals. This woman openly opposes sex-ed even though her own daughter can't figure out how to use a condom. We are human being first and hockey fans second, and human beings don't put sick people like Sarah Palin in a position of power.
Not only is she a hockey mom, she is well qualified to be Vice President or even President, if necessary, and that's what matters most.
