No way, no how, no McCain!


I now agree with you. McCain just handed the election to Obama/Biden with
his Veep choice.

What was he thinking? One of his biggest handicaps is his age. So, he
picks a 44 year old with virtually no national experience and only a year
and a half as governor of Alaska to be a heartbeat away from being POTUS.


Remember Dan Quayle?
Probably others as limited that I can't remember.

McCain must have a *thing* for former beauty pageant contestants.

Well, I wouldn't argue against aligning one's self with good-looking
women. :)

It's a strange choice. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, the Republican U.S.
Senator from Texas, said "I don't know much about Sarah Palin."

Ms. Palin now says someone from her office did indeed try to pressure a
state official to fire her former brother in law from a state trooper
job, but adds that she had nothing to do with the call.

Nobody's going to care about pressure to fire a wife-beater.
Especially women.

I certainly believe that.

Ms. Palin will be politically acceptable to the right-wing extremists
who still control the GOP, but she sure isn't going to attract those
"Hillary" voters who are upset with the latter's loss of the
presidential and vice presidential nominations.

I guess you never met a woman scorned.
Obama dissed women bad, real bad, especially when he wrote Hillary off
as VP right off the bat.
18 million voters.
And "tough guy" Biden better remember what happened to that guy
running against Hillary for NY Senator when he came over to her podium
trying to intimidate her.
Oh my. This is getting interesting.
Obama didn't have the nuts to pick Hillary, and McCain has the nuts to
pick this woman.
But until we see how Palin handles herself, we won't know.

Palin is a right-wing nutcase. Hillary supporters aren't going to go for
a woman who is anti-choice.
