Did he pick a female with very little qualification just to bring in the Hillary supporters?

  1. NO WAY!  Choosing Palin just shows he does like to go outside the box.  His choice of her excited me like no other pick could.  I love the fact that there is a woman on the ticket and she is an independent thinking woman which is obvious by what we have learned about her today.  I think the democrats are dismissing her experience because they feel threatened by her presence on the ticket.  Let's face it.  The first decision Obama makes as the nominee to put Biden on the ticket instead of Hillary was a huge mistake.  The dems are realizing that now.  So they are going to attack her and call her such things as a "moose hunter" thus negating the accomplishments this woman has made.  Sour grapes.  You could have and should have had Hillary on the ticket.  Obama blew it.


  2. Not at all, check her qualifications out and you'll find a woman with more experience than Obama, she obviously has a great work ethic, she isn't afraid to challenge the status quo or her own party and she's pro-life, pro-gun ownership and has her head on straight when it comes to the facts about ecology and economy.

    That's more than I can say for any of the career politicians who were probably on the short list.

  3. No, he is very shrewd.  Interesting choice!

  4. One news anchor described it as a 'hail mary' effort; I agree. It was definitely a desperate move. McCain had to steal Obama's thunder, so he made history by electing Palin.  

  5. Everything McSame has done since wrapping up the nomination has proven how desperate he is.  As a resident of Missouri I highly resent all the negative advertising he's doing.  ENOUGH ALREADY!  If he and the GOP wish to get my vote they had better stop telling me why I shouldn't vote for the Dems and start telling me why I should vote for them.  Why is it that the GOP takes me as being just another idiot follower of theirs?  Perhaps it just a lot of wishful thinking on their part.  I know why I shouldn't vote for Obamanation.  I also know why I shouldn't vote for McSame.  

  6. big time.. but then again he does like younger woman... Maybe he'll dump Cindy for a MILF...

    "Wise One" that line is getting old

  7. He is a genius.

    She is a true conservative, and will bring in that side of the party,

    And she is hott! Newspapers will be putting up her picture as often as they can. They will forget Obama, his media time will be slaughtered

  8. No it shows that he is smart. It shows that he is in touch with America and it shows what a fool Obambi was to be afraid of Hilliary.

    Edit: How is McCain desperate, he is even or slightly ahead in the polls in a year that the Dems should win by a landslide. If anyone is desperate it is Obambi because he should be way ahead.

  9. Desperate? Not yet.

    McCain had his back to the wall. He is a weak candidate and was forced to bring in a VP who is weaker than himself.

    Now McCain must spend weeks explaining to his base who this woman is and why she should be a heartbeat away. And that really calls into question his judgment.

  10. No - Palin is a Great choice and she will make a Wonderful VP (and future President)! It just goes to show that McCain is a true maverick & genius who picks likewise!

    Palin:

    * has the record of the most beloved Governor in the US by her state (Alaska)

    * is a vocal, huge proponent of American energy independence & Alaskan drilling

    * has actually been leading people for the past several years, while Obama & Biden have been leading NO one!

    * shelved her state's pork-laden Bridge to Nowhere that McCain has ridiculed on the trail

    * will join McCain in fighting hard against earmarks

    * is about as far outside the Beltway as you can get

    * ran on the agenda of stopping wasteful gov't spending

    * is the mother of 5 kids!

    * has had her son deploy to Iraq

    * is for a strong US defense

    * is an ice fisherman

    * is a moose hunter

    * is a small business owner and a lifetime NRA member

    All in all, she's a truly fine leader, citizen and patriot - who truly represents Americana (Motherhood & Apple pie)!

    McCain/Palin '08

    Peace

  11. I think he did, because she clearly doesn't have anymore expereince than Obama has (even though a lot of people might argue with me about that).

    Other than attracting weak minded men who only care about some bimbos looks, she won't cath any Hillary supporters who are truly are all about Hillaries policies.

  12. She has executive experience. Obama doesn't.  "My name is Obamabot and I am durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
