As a woman, I am so very offended and disturbed by McCain's judgement and his party's response to it. She's only been a governor for 2 years. So basically, just to be straight to the point, if McCain wins and die in office, we'll have a mayor for president. Furthermore, she's presently being investigated for abuse of power. A "reformed" Dick Cheney.

Its obvious that she was only picked because she's a woman. In no way is she Hillary Clinton. Thats the only change I can see that she brings to the ticket. Other than that, she's not an asset. I now know that McCain and his crew think that I am DUMB. To him I am a DUMB woman who don't know any better. And ALL women are just alike. I'm just going to vote for this woman because I too am a woman. I can't THINK for myself. His age never showed so badly!

Theres so many things wrong with McCain's pick and he knows it! I am so disppointed in McCain and these PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) women who are letting their emotions block the issues. This is obviously a goddamn gimmick and nobody won't say so!

I also can't tell you how disappointed I am with women who are falling for this. PUMAS or whoever. How can any real woman who cares about real issues vote or run with a party that doesn't think that women should get paid as much as men? What does this say about these women?

I'm not a republican but I have to say that I was looking forward to Biden debating Romney. Romney is an excellent debator. McCain had some great picks to choose from and he picked the worst one. He even had great women to choose from. What in the hell does this say about his judgement and his temperament? Its clear that he made the wrong decision because he panicked! Republicans can say alot about Obama, but at least when he picked his V.P he put thought into it and picked the BEST one he could govern with.

As a woman, I can't get excited over this choice because I KNOW ITS A GIMMICK. What's worse is that McCAIN KNOWS ITS A GIMMICK. A man who once fought to protect our country has now endangered it without fight or thought. As a woman, McCain makes me feel a bit ridiculous because I just feel like this man-ran country still thinks, in 2008, that I am stupid. For the record, I AM NOT STUPID!!! Its embarassing on our part as a nation.

I wish "feminist" could only see that this is just another case of a man using a woman. Have you ever had a man "play" you? Be honest. Well, McCain is tryin to play us all! Again, a man using a woman to pull himself ahead. A man using a woman to make himself look better, to seem taller. A MAN USING A WOMAN. And after he's finished with Palin and the rest of us, what happens? I'm very disappointed in McCain. I find his choice to be hysterical not historical.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
