Lol. You are so desperate! This is great.

It's not about desperation, it's about interests. She's obviously putting more interest in her political career than her family. Maybe she'll be like McCain and take the weekends off.

Perhaps she feels like she can handle the pressure. Perhaps her husband can take care of the kids. Surely you don't think she should be at home making cookies, do you?

Your post absolutely reeks of desparation.

BTW, she has more executive experience than Obama.

Actually I believe her having a child with Down's Syndrome will work in her favor. If McCain somehow wins this election we'll have a potential future President that has hands on experience dealing with the disabled. Unlike Bush and McSame we'd actually have a real compassionate Conservative.

So she might be able to get Congress to actually do something for once?

EDIT: I've said before that I would've been happy with a McCain/Romney Presidency but I don't want this shit. McCain was not thinking about the Presidency. He was thinking about the election.

Please, like anyone here actually believes you would vote for McCain regardless of his VP choice.

Learn to read. I never said I would vote for him. I said I would be happy. But this lady is Pandering 101.

She has a Downs Syndrome Baby she the odds are she'd be a real Compassionate Conservative unlike both Bush and McCain.

Now that's a laugh. As if you would ever vote Republican. And your remark is highly sexist and completely inappropriate. Women have prfessions to and more power to a women who can handle both a career and a family. Lord knows I don't know how I would.

The fact that Obama has no experienced doesn't seem to bother you one bit. But all of a sudden the fact that McCain has picked someone with no experience ruins his chance in the fall??

The point is, McCain had been using "lack of experience" as one of the themes for his Rovian attack ads.

Now that he's selected someone with far less experience than Obama, he cannot continue without looking like a fool.

He traded in the lack of experience angle for the chance to court disgruntled Hillary-whacks.

That is what seems like a desperate and mis-guided move for McCain.

Obama keeps touting his "I'm not a Washington insider" line, then selects a Washington insider as his VP.
McCain chose someone who is not a Washington insider and you guys think this is bad?

Personally, I think Bush had F'd up the Republican party so badly that I haven't decided who to vote for. McCains choice for Vice President is a plus in my book.
I like several of Obama's Ideas, but his whole wealth redistribution thing just turns me off.

Listening to her opening speech right now. not wowed.

 

[mxyzptlk]

wikipedia says she was point guard and teamcaptain of her HS basketball team..


Let's just skip the diebold song and dance and have this thing decided by PALIN VS OBAMA, 1 ON 1!

 

[nageov3t]

watching the speech now... Todd Palin seems relatively hot for an Alaskan.

 

[Specop 007]

I've been reading blogs from "both sides" as it were. Its interesting to note the R's think this is a slam dunk strategy and the D's seem to think this is a train wreck.

Guess time will tell. But regardless, its interesting that no matter WHAT one side does the other thinks its just terrible.

Your right... a women's place is at home! How dare she even think of running as vice-president!

:roll:

She has a total of 5 children. Family should come first.

But would this even be an issue if Palin were a man? Obvioulsy not to you.

The 50s called (the 1850s, that is), and they want your misogynism back.

Ok, try to understand that McCain could care less if those who wont vote for no matter what are "happy" with his pick, let alone most of his Republican counterparts.

In short, if you arent going to vote with him no matter what, who cares if you are happy about his pick.

I'm a Republican, genius, and this is a pro-McCain thread I started not long ago. For this election, I will only be voting Democratic ONCE (for the Presidency). Everyone else will most likely be Republican.

It's our anniversary! Surprise! My husband is in a Union! Our son is in the Army, 9/11, Iraq, 9/11, jeez...

Guess this is what he meant by shaking up Washington.

Sarah Palin is the obvious choice if he's going for a woman; Kay Bailey Hutchison is another. Everyone in the GOP loves Palin but she's fairly inexperienced (insert Obama joke here), so I don't know if McCain would go for her. If I were a GOP operative, I'd be afraid of Edwardsing her -- she could have a bright future in the party, but once you're known as a losing VP candidate it's tough to come back from that.

I've been thinking it'll be someone boring like Pawlenty or Crist, but then I was saying Bayh all along for Obama and that was wrong, so what do I know?

I doubt Palin.

She is inexperienced, plus she just had a baby. Might be tough to focus on veepeeing with newborn.

Plus we Alaskans like her, a lot (90% approval) - you can't have her yet.

oops.

I was shocked when turned on the radio this morning and heard the news.

I did already hear one on air comment about would this job be too tough for someone with a baby like hers. Can't think of a better way for the dems to lose a majority of the women vote than trying to go down that path.


I had actually wanted to hear more analysis of the speach last nite, but this has so far total obscured it. Perhaps later tonight on TV once it's died down a bit they'll get back to it.

Cable or network?

 

[jpeyton]

Are you guys watching her speech?

She comes off as a soccer mom (excuse me...hockey mom) at best. Comparing Hillary to Palin is like comparing Lincoln to......a janitor? That's the closest comparison I can come up with.

Otherwise, she spouts out GOP talking points pretty well.

Obama's campaign already released a statement addressing her ethics investigation.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Hillary's supporters wanted Hillary to be President, not just any woman. Do you think if Obama had picked a different woman to be on his ticket besides Hillary that he'd get the support of her voters? Of course not! If anything, it would backfire.

So why are any of you to believe that this obvious ploy will get McCain Hillary's supporters? Yes, she's a woman but she's not Hillary.

As if Biden wasn't pandering to the "experience" crowd. If BHL was truly interested in shaking things up, he would never have picked one of the most experienced Washington insiders. Instead, he would have gone with one of the governors on his shot list.

So quit with the pandering line. Both are trying to identify a VP that will help them in the election.

McCain needs Democrats to vote for him, or he loses.

I don't agree. My recollection has been that Dems win with enough shift in their direction by female voters.

Otherwise:

1. I still the Obama camp is gonna have a lot of problems attacking her PERIOD. Too many women like Geraldine Ferraro running around claiming that Obama and MSM are anti-female.

2. I see them having a lot of problems attacking her inexperience, every time they do so it underscores Obama's lack of experience. The VP can train on the job, the President can't (or shouldn't).

3. The arguments I've heard so far on the MSM about why Obama DOES have more experience than her come down to his speaking ability and his successsful campaign (his campaign was successful because he is a good speaker - *Hope & Change*). IMO, this all serves to reinforce the "Obama as an empty suit who just speaks really really well". His *experience* is speaking well?

4, Oil drilling. She's from a big oil state and can speak with authority. The polls show the Repubs have the upper hand here.

5. Biden is gonna beat her up in a debate? Maybe so, but we'll see how that works out them.

6. *Historic Ticket*? Yep, now we've got two - and one is gonna win, so it's now a forgone conclusion. For anybody inclined to vote for that, well the Repubs just stole some of that thunder.

7. The female vote? Hey, nobody is going after female policy nerds. I've heard the number of people who actually make up their minds while standing in the voting booth is quite high (obviously they care little about policy), how many of these who are female are now ghonna pull the lever because a woman is on the ticket? IDK, but I bet they've done a bunch of polling.

8. As I pointed out in a thread I started earlier - there are two schools of thought on a VP selection. (1) Get out your base (Rovian theory), and (2) Get the swing/indy vote (Morris). McCain might get both with this pick.

9. Interesting pick. Might end up taking away some attention from the Dem's convention. If that translates into a few less percentage points for the Dems, all the better for McCain. How many points do you expect to get from a VP choice?

10. She has 5 kids and one is Down's Syndrome? She might be very effective in talking about health care and other issues (education) mothers are concerned with.

IMO, she has a lot of potential. But we'll have to see how the McCain camp plays it, and how good she is at campaigning.

Again, republican voters arent led by emotion or a good speech. We are led by values and principles. So have fun with your good speeches and bad policies that the Obama camp provides.

as i said in my earlier post, people who think this is about Hillary voters have NO CLUE

this has nothing to do with Hillary

this has everything to with ENERGIZING THE REPUBLICAN BASE

McCain needs conservative republicans out on the frontlines giving of their time and money, not just begrudgingly voting for him as the lesser-of-two-evils

this is the sort of move that will do exactly that

You are as dumb as they come. WHere in my post do you see me not liking McCain? Personally, he's a good man. But I disagree with his policies. Really, learn to read.
