| | It looks like McCain's VP pick is................................Page 4 of 104 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41) | The country and the world would rather see a competent person in charge. Yes, Obama wouldn't have been in this place had he been in Africa. But then again McCain wouldn't have been in this place in his life had he lived in Europe.
So what's your angle bullielover62?
The hype over this little-known 'woman' VP candidate is similar to the one over another little known candidate - Dan Quayle.
Hillary's female supporters are mostly those from the feminist movement. It's unlikely they'll be attracted to McCain just because he has a female VP candidate. The few that do go over to the McCain camp would have done so had he picked a moose as his running mate.
And how exactly has McCain 'evened' the playing field? He can't speak to save his life. Short of 'drill here, drill now' he doesn't seem have to have any ideas for the economy. He knows nothing (neither do we) about this new person, who's supposed to cover for him at a moments notice. It's unlikely she'll have any ideas on foreign policy (o yes, she knows how to use a gun). | |

Working with numbers so much, maybe she can help McCain remember how many homes he has. | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:20:48 AM | Not a chance. . . But thatks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you. . .
I said, I don't know who she is yet, but it won't matter. Has nothing to do with her gender, has everything to do with the fact that this country can't afford four more years of the same! | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:21:59 AM | I find two things in this thread extremely amusing:
1) Some think that just because she's under INVESTIGATION means she's automatically guilty.
2) Some claim that she doesn't have enough experience, especially on foreign policy. UHM? If experience is such an important issue, just take a look at the other guy! What happened to choosing a leader based on morals and quality of heart? This argument just highlights Obama's biggest weakness and makes them look like hypocrites.
It was not a very surprising choice if you've been following the analyses... McCain needed a woman. But as an independent who has been in between for a long while, I'm very pleased with this choice! | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:26:58 AM | I cant stop myself from laughing at this one 
all republicans to the top deck, man the life boats!!
The "Mavrick" has just scuttled the ship!
If this isnt the most blatent attempt at pandering to women I dont know what is.
Experience arguement out the window, which was the only thing the Rethuglicans barely had an arguement on. (false argument that it is anyway).
Stretch Palin across the rails and wait for the Biden freight train to come barreling down!
Im over here twitching in anticipation of the upcoming debates both presidential and VP.

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:27:19 AM | Looks like she has the credentials for the job. Apparently, she has done well in Alaska.
I am concerned about the little baby that she just had in April. From the news reports that I have read, the baby was born with Down syndrome. If McCain is elected president, she will be very busy. Being a 24-hour job that it is, I am concerned that this baby will be missing out on mommy-time that is so very crucial for the first 2-3-4 years. This concern is all the more exacerbated by the fact that baby has Down syndrome.
I hope her husband is currently and planning to be a fulltime stay-at-home dad, which will be in the best interest of the kids.
Just my 98 cents  | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:27:20 AM | Palin hit a grand slam homerun!! 
That was the speech of speeches!! And, it was from the heart of a woman who has fought corruption in Alaska, gave back money from big oil to the People of Alaska...the list goes on and on. And, as one commentator said... being a Governor is executive workings. It is a different breed than being a Senator and is more closely related (in the inner workings) to being President...than serving in Congress...due to the landscape of governing.
Oh.. and, here's something many might not want to acknowledge. She asked America for their vote for her and McCain. I haven't heard that from the Obama/Biden ticket.
Palin will leave Biden in the dust during the VP debates... just as McCain will Obama. And, when will Obama ever do a townhall meeting with McCain. He keeps saying name the time and place.

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:29:02 AM | Actually, Ju-Bil, Obama has more government experience than Palin. I don't know whose butt you pull the leadership comparison out of, but I'll bet there are some very sour grapes in there, too.
For those of you who fear the facts enough that you didn't listen to the convention speeches, Vice President Gore reminded us that Senator Obama has as much government experience as did our greatest President when he was elected. Abraham Lincoln served a mere four terms in the state legislature - the Illinois house, at that! - and a single term in the US House, in which he opposed a popular war and challenged the President's rationale for it, before he was elected President.
As I recall, that lightly-experienced, inspiring, bridge-building leader saved the damn country. In part by winning a war. So bite me, you silly billies. I'll see you in that better tomorrow.
Cheers!

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:29:22 AM | She might appeal to some, but if McCain thinks that a right-wing, anti-choice, homophobic, VP selection is going to win over MOST Hillary voters (meaning, Hillary voters who care about Hillary's politics), he understands NOTHING about feminism and women's issues. WHAT an unbelievable dinosaur he is!
This is one of the most cynical VP picks I've ever seen. Or--really, probably the MOST cynical. It is IMPOSSIBLE to believe she would have been the pick if she wasn't a woman. It's her ONLY selling quality, in respect to this ticket. | |

I cant believe Im going to say this... but, I agree with you bikerguy
don't know who she is yet, but it won't matter. Has nothing to do with her gender
Do you really believe that?
If this isnt the most blatent attempt at pandering to women I dont know what is.
And your point is.........?

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:34:38 AM | No, she's not automatically guilty. But people usually aren't innocent if they are being 'investigated'.
The 'other guy' actually has had foreign heads of state falling over themselves to meet him. Not even McCain with his many years of senatorial service could command that respect. What does one know about her morals and quality of heart? She's a maverick much like Jesse Ventura. But the hypocricy among the McCain supports here is stark. First, they clamor about Obama not having enough 'experience' although they never say at what. Then, they celebrate McCain's VP pick despite that she's hardly been exposed to the political world at all! Actually, as I'd said earlier, they'd have been just as ecstatic had he chosen a moose or a seal.
I've a proposition. Anyone for McCain's interest in continuing a presence in Iraq should volunteer to go there. Or should be forced to. | |

it's like reliving the attacks on Hillary by Obama supporters-
he understands NOTHING about feminism and women's issues.
well, now he has a VP that will help him with these issues...so a moot point | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:40:12 AM | Even the GoOPer pundits are saying this is the worst VP selection since Dan Quayle -- and that's from McCain supporters.
Let's see what some other GoOPers are saying:
Joe Scarborough: It sounds like a Harriet Miers decision. Let's find a woman, whether she's experienced or not. I can't imagine a woman that's been a governor for a year and a half, but to debate Joe Biden on GEorgia, a remerging Russia, an emerging China and India, on the Middle East, my God, how does she do that?
Pat Buchanan: Biggest political gamble I believe just about in American political history...that is not hyberbole. I can think of no choice of VP that approaches this.
Katheryn Jean Lopez, of the National Review: As much as I loathe Obama-Biden, I can't in good conscience vote for a McCain-Palin ticket. Palin has absolutely no experience in foreign affairs. Considering both McCain's advanced age and the state of the world today, it is essential that the veep be exceedingly qualified to assume the office of president. I simply don't have any confidence in Palin's ability to deal effectively with Iran, Russia, China, etc. I certainly will not cast a vote for Obama-Biden, but nor will I vote for McCain-Palin. Looks like I'll either sit this one out or vote for Bob Barr. Why, oh, why, didn't McCain listen to Rove and just pick Romney?
Ron Fournier: She is younger and even less experienced than Obama, and brings an ethical shadow to the ticket. Just 20 months ago, she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town of 6,500 where the biggest annual worry is whether there will be enough snow for the Iditarod dog-mushing race.
David Gergen: McCain is a gambler. ... When one gambles, sometimes you win, and alot of the time you lose.

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:43:29 AM | well.. lets see... would a gambler be somewhat of a 'maverick' ? Which you deny he is.
Now, Im going to go read up on what our next vice president, Sarah Palin, is all about and I will be back with (drum roll) an educated opinion.

McCain is playing a very dirty game now. I see him picking her to try and show up Obama for not picking Hillary for running mate...what a way to sway the Democratic female voters especially if he had picked an African American
Yes, I know that Hillary is standing behind Obama but we all know that she has no choice even though it pisses them off that she lost.
Plus McCain is he's using the age difference play too to hold the prior baby boomer generation in check...she's 44 and he's 72. Who's her daddy | |
