Did the Republicans really blow it with Palin?

Question

Or did they blow it several years ago when they decided not to throw Bush under a bus?

Answer 1

Yeah, you're probably right.....   We have blown it again (we're so used to that, ya know).  

We could have chosen a Washington insider instead with almost 4 decades of experience and tied to special interest groups and lobbyists.  

Gosh, why didn't we play it safe and think of that?  

Answer 2

NO WAY!

the Democraps never saw this one coming. They where completely broadsided. They are in REPLANNING MODE. All the time they invested has to be redone and rethought.

Answer 3

NO WE DIDNT!!!

Typical democraP question!

Answer 4

No for both.  

Answer 5

No Palin was a nice change, McCain was thinking outside the box. Palin is a competent, self reliant, conservative woman with core values. On the Other hand Obamas pick , Biden a old white haired man who has an almost identical liberal voting record, and Hillary was passed over for this dweeb. The Dems blew it big time.

Answer 6

Nope!

Answer 7

I would think so....  Mc truly have made another mistake...  I wonder all politics is nothing more than gimmicks at the expense of taxpayers' sweat and the next generation's financial burden and American pride.

Answer 8

yeah cuz palin iz a joke

Answer 9

They blew it years ago by putting members of the Project for the New American Century, a group of elitists who want to rule the world, in the White House.  

Answer 10

Palin has energized the base and women everywhere- not so with Biden! McCain is a genius!

Answer 11

No, they did not, in fact they have initiated the Republican platform.

All parties and people from different beliefs and backgrounds work out these issues within the political sphere.

p.s. the ensuing debate may be a little more raw than non-Americans can handle; this does not equate to division amongst American people. USA is a melting pot of individual persons.

Answer 12

You won't get a truthful answer from any Republican at this site; truth is if they have been listening to their own pundits and so called political experts (and I'm sure they have) they are running scared. McCain's pick was that of a desperate candidate.

Answer 13

Not at all.  There's excitement all around, and not just from Republicans.  

Answer 14

No sinclair bleww it and it was Obama he blew

Answer 15

No and No..nice try Spin, where is Marty?

Answer 16

On the issue of experience, all I have heard from liberals is how Sarah Palin is not experienced enough to be a heart beat away from the presidency. She has THE SAME amount of experience as Barack Obama. Obama would not be a heart beat away, he WOULD BE the president from Day 1, with the same lack of experience as Palin. Why do liberals not get this fact??  

Answer 17

Ya they did John Mccain is a idiot

Answer 18

No, and no. Next question please...

Answer 19

I think Palin was a VERY dangerous choice.  Only hardcore Republicans will support her.

Answer 20

yes and yes

Answer 21

No, picking Romney would have blown it.  Palin is an excellent choice - not expected yet highly appealing once you learn a little about her.

I think the Dems are just bitter because they could have had Hillary for Pres or VP and blew it both times.  (Fun fact: The convention delegates *can* override the Presidential candidate's choice for VP and pick their own.)

Answer 22

McCain just wants her to blow it!

Answer 23

Do I have to pick just one?  The choice of Palin solidifies the base and is a bad choice for the middle.  The United States should have throw Bush, the lesser, under a bus four years ago.

Answer 24

No.  I'm surprised so many democrats and liberals think they are the only ones with dynamic qualified women.

Answer 25

Bush started the disintegration of his party years ago, and due to McCain's promise to continue the failed administration policies, it appears that Republicans are definitely grasping at straws.  As soon as voters dig a bit deeper into Palin's stance on important issues (privacy, civil rights, creationism, etc.), McCain's selection will be seen as the obvious pander it is.  

Answer 26

No way.  I'm a registered Republican and I never though in a million years my party would pick a woman as VP.  I'm both thrilled and excited to see what she has to offer.

Let's face it, Obama blew it by not picking Hillary.

Answer 27

yes, and yes.  next question please.  lol.

add:  dang, all-time personal best on the thumbs down.  can you feel the love?

Answer 28

Well, maybe so. I would say McCain should have thought through his choice for a running mate. I would say thet Barack Obama thought through his choice and should be proud. McCain only met Sarah Palin once, and decided. Whereas Obama knew Joe Biden very well. I would say that Biden will help Obama very well. The main point that stands out for the Democrats would be the relationship between George Bush and McCain. You know how George Bush really blew it. Besides, McCain is a second George Bush. But, Barack Obama would like to stop the war in Iraq, not-depend on the Middle-East for oil by doing off-shore drilling, and other things that might help the United States. I don't know how well Palin will help McCain. In fact, I don't know who are what inspired McCain in picking Sarah Palin as a running mate.  

Answer 29

Absolutely Not.  My wife and daughters were screaming thrilled and excited.

They voted for Hillary in the primary, because they wanted to break the glass ceiling.

Palin is closer to their political beliefs.  So, they are thrilled and excited about McCain Palin.

Just the Facts on the ground.

Answer 30

Yes, they sure did.  Nothing says country first better than picking the most inexperienced candidate in history under investigation for abuse of power in a time of war.

The DNC couldn't have picked a better candidate themselves to once and for all proof the GOP puts perception and ideology before country every time

Answer 31

You are confusing what Obama did with Larry Sinclair in that limo in Chicago.
