because she is a woman yeah

Answer 14

The first news reports stated that she was selected to attract women voters.

I would select her for service here as a definite MILF.  An extremely attractive woman.

Answer 15

Puppet.

The republicans have only one issue - regulating private lives to distract from public policy so they can sell the country from under our feet. It's working pretty well to focus on regulating the working class woman's uterus, and their goal is to outlaw any education about ovulation, fertility and contraception to make sure women have at least ten pregnancies.

A vote for republicans is a vote to continue selling our country to the highest bidder, would render the Pledge of Allegiance meaningless, and would outlaw the word liberty in the Pledge of Allegiance, the 4th of July's Declaration of Independence and the Statue of Liberty. Flag pins will continue to be important and will take on the same meaning as swastikas.

Is this the couple we need in the oval office? From the video it appears she will be his 3rd beauty queen mate. I saw this on a 38 inch flat screen with TIVO rewind and confirmed it with everyone else in the room, my dad saw it at his house, and the person who put this video here saw it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13LRTrxC_...

Is this the person you want leading if the country is in a crisis? Watch the 3 minute mark. The corruption headline is also fitting and works with the statements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pak-rH0dC...

Answer 16

The republicans wanted to use her as a puppet to attract Hillary Clinton voters who had mixed feelings from the primaries. It turns out that it backfired on McCain because those same women are NOT going to vote on the basis of a woman who is pro-life and is a conservative woman. This will be very interesting to see though.
