Did McCain select Palin as a final nail in the GOP coffin?

Question

I can not understand how naive he must have been in selecting someone with so many holes in her armor.

Answer 1

sounds like to me someones scared,,,,

Answer 2

McCain selected Palin as a final nail in the DNC coffin.

Answer 3

I dunno.

I think he just thought any woman will do even if she isn't qualified.  Kind of sad that he thinks women are that stupid....

Answer 4

Before a Democrat victory was likely, now it is certain, and deep down inside the cons know it, this is why they have been so upset the past few days.

Answer 5

You're flat wrong.  He nailed it, a huge gamble that will pay off with victory.  Why would the DNC nominate Obama?  Talk about holes in the armor, Tony Rezco, Rev. Wright.  Please...all your "free thinking" is clouding your judgement.  Obama is done now.

Answer 6

Shades of Karl Rove and power of the religous right to name the VP candidate.

Answer 7

Virtually no conservative outlet is reporting the truth about Palin. She is not a 'reformer'--research her record: stopping bridge to nowhere claims are false--she was fully for it--before she was against it. She is under senate investigation for sorted-power misues. She raised taxes in Wassila, not lowered...still the town's budget is busted due to her mismanagement of Wasilla hockey stadium deal gone awry. She is a crony of indicted republican Ted Stevens, still through June 2008---then when she got VP pick--her web site pulled his endorsement. She was co-director of a PAC that raised funds for Stevens. Yes, she was for the 'good the good ole boy' network before she was against it. Pics of the Palin and indicted Stevens remain all over the web. How about fighting against pork?---no--she regularly lobbied congress and got more than her fair share for Alaska. Somewhat of a tyrant--or even handed? hum....she fired most staffers when she got mayor---claiming they were 'not loyal' to her (they had supported her opposition). She was almost recalled for it (town population was about 4,000 then). Does she really relate to the common person or does the family saga comes across much like a Jerry Springer show. Although, I heard a 'conservative' woman on a radio talk show exclaim 'she eats hot dogs and macaroni and cheese, just like me.'

Answer 8

Well remember you're talking about a presidential candidate that has 6 of the 10 warning signs of Alzheimers disease.   Why should it be a surprise that he picks a political minefield for a running mate?

Answer 9

Its Gods will.

Answer 10

I am surprised that you know how to type did they teach you that at the zoo.

Answer 11

You got it right. That was act of desperation and havoc in McCain camp.

Compare 2 days or so of McCain's vets vs 3 months of Obama's vet process.

Answer 12

what can you expect from mc cain  but these mistakes.
