McCain is picking a veep who will restore some of his 'freethinking maverick' cred by the sheer virtue that she isn't just another old white dude. After all, if he'd gone down that path you'd be worried that the entire ticket would fall over and die of old age before the inauguration.
oh fuck, lol my coworkers saw that and started laughing...I need to browse safer.. >_>; man thats funny...
Oh good a BS in communications and a lifetime member of the NRA. All the cred you need.
It's as if millions of Romney supporters suddenly cried out in terror. then were suddenly silenced.
She's a lifetime NRA member. I actually like some of her views as well, if I lived in Alaska I probably would've voted for her. It's a little harder to control spending and corruption on a national level though, so I guess we'll see how that turns out if McCain wins.
Edit: It certainly would be interesting if McCain croaks in office and she ended up in the big chair.
This VP pick is a serious wtf. She is mired in a corruption scandal, brings absolutely nothing to the table in terms of fundraising like Romney would, and is from a state that will do nothing to help win any swing states, which McCain will have to nearly sweep to win the election.
This is purely pandering to the disgruntled Hillary voters, who frankly weren't going to vote for Obama anyway. McCain has shown repeatedly that his judgement is even worse than Dubyas, how anyone can even consider voting for him is beyond me at this point.
Palin is very GOP party-line and makes McCain look like a buffoon for trying to hammer Obama on experience and qualification. It's a very transparent pick aimed at PUMAs, but for real voters concerned about women's issues there's still no content: palin, like mccain, is pro-life, and mccain still doesn't support equal pay for equal work. This might've been a good gamble for McCain if Hillary didn't show such strong support at the DNC; also realize that Palin wouldn't have even been an option if Hillary was running with Obama.
Biden will destroy in the veep debate.
What if McCain has a heart attack/stroke and she has to take over? ;o
essentially this is like Obama picking a left-libertarian because of the minor fuss Ron Paul is gonna cause at the GOP convention (actually I'm hearing 10k paultards are expected to show up to what otherwise is gonna be a 15k GOP convention lolololol)
hahaha Can't wait til Biden Destroys her in the VP debate
Because the inexperience of the democratic presidential candidate is somehow equivalent to the inexperience of the GOP's vice presidential nominee, flawed logic much? The vice president does jack shit in office, they are chosen solely during the election process to entice voters that are not within the presidential candidate's primary support circle.Originally Posted by Senoska
