Did McCain's increasing dementia lead him to make his fatal, appalling Beauty-Queen VP choice?

Question

Can't you hear Premier Vladimir Putin of Russia laughing his little commie head off as he thinks about Sarah facing him in what may become her Oval Office? He would make mincemeat of her and America would go down. Will Cindy be jealous with yet another beauty queen in the political family?

Answer 1

He didn't decide , it was decided for him.  He would have preferred his buddies.  oh well. Yes,  I do think he looked kind of stunned when she was talking and he kept fiddling with his ring like a befuddled old codger in a nursing home.  Oh yeah, you said it, the commie, Putin would love to get Palin .  He would make her look so stupid if he could get her away long enough from her breast pump  to talk to him.  What a stupid decision to choose her.  He will regret it.  Cindy already looked lost on the podium with Palin. There were so many kids up there she got lost in the crowd.  Just showing her up for not having any of their kids (adults) there supporting them.  Oh what a mess.  

Answer 2

Your guy is going to lose. McCain will win. He doesn't have dementia nor is he senile. He has experience and is an american hero completely unlike your disgrace of a candidate. I look forward to all your complaints and crying when obama loses.  

Answer 3

Hey! I don't know about Putin but we're watching you guys from up here in Canada and we're well entertained....:)

ADD: On a more serious note. You know when the US sneeze we the Canadians get the Flu, meaning our economy is very sensitive to what is going on with you guys. Also, as a part of NATO we have to follow you guys in any military procedures, the thought that the President of the US, still the biggest military force in the world, may be lead by a 'mom' of 5 with no political experience is scary. She has no National or International experience, no economical experience what so ever, what is her expertise exactly? I guess being female.

Answer 4

a tutu and a whip can do wonders....

Answer 5

I am a undecided voter and trying to decide who I want to vote for.  Women have had to work very hard to get anywhere. I applaud any woman that is willing to work hard to achieve her goals.   I don't think Palin  was elected as the governor of Alaska because she was a beauty queen. Or picked by McCain because she was a beauty queen.   Just like Hillary Clinton was not elected as a Senator because she was Bill Clinton's wife.   I respect them both, eventhough I do not agree with their views.  I admire them both for trying to lead their party in the right direction.  Hillary is a brilliant woman and could have been an excellent VP.  Why was she not chosen? Talk about a fatal decision.    I am still wondering why Obama chose Joe Biden over Hillary Clinton.  

Answer 6

McCain wasn't trying to appeal to smart liberals, or smart people in general, he already knew he wasn't going to get their votes. There are millions of blue collar workers and their wive who are going to be thrilled by this choice, and they will now go out and vote. And disdain and name calling and comments about "the Russians will get us" from the Democrats will just make more of them vote. This is probably going to win the election for McCain, because the Dems still think this is about getting a qualified person in office. It's not, it's about winning the election. You'd think after losing to Bush twice they would understand they need to beat the Republicans at their own game.  

Answer 7

Yes, I think this choice was the clincher on his doomed candidacy.
