Is McCain's VP choice some kind of bad practical joke, and will he tell us his REAL choice tomorrow?

Question

I live in Georgia and know next to nothing about politics in Alaska, of all places. However, I have read that she is accused of trying to use her political power to have her ex-brother-in-law fired as an Alaskan State Trooper in some kind of family vendetta. She then fired the official who refused to do her bidding. This sounds like another d**k Cheney to me.

Answer 1

What's wrong with Sarah Palin?

She's a woman, which was so smart of McCain because a lot of Hillary voters will 'approve' of her. Conservatives aren't worried about her at all because she's Conservative...I think she's great.

Answer 2

oh I get it, you fear the very first women VP, I can understand but relax, she's a great women and has proven to be worthy of her call.

Answer 3

lol..i so agree! She's smart, pretty, young, and a woman; and that's why she was picked..this certainly goes against every negative thing he's said about obama, because now his campaign will look really hypocritical to criticize obama on inexperience.

Answer 4

You wish it was a joke.. McCain knocked one out of the park and the Obamaies are shakin in their boots.. i love it...

Answer 5

No, she's a good candidate. She's conservative enough to placate those who dislike McCain's liberality, she's a woman, which may be enough for the 10 Clinton supporters who didn't listen when Hillary endorsed Obama, she's young, which, I suppose to some extent balances out his age, she's not from Old Boys' Club, she's scandal free, and hey, a woman who's got one son fighting in Iraq and a baby with Downs? It's a PR Dream come true.

Too bad that she has no real experience (i.e. foreign policy, anyone?), and doesn't actually make McCain look any better for standing next to him. Putting a virulently Pro-Life, inexperienced self described hockey mom a heartbeat away from the presidency is not the best of ideas, especially when we have someone who's way more likely to die while sitting in the Oval Office.

Answer 6

certainly not. this is a sample of what his decision making process will be like if we elect that tired old man.

Answer 7

I've loved her since before McCain became the nominee.-Super prolife!  Suing to drill!  I never expected her to become the VP.  It's like inheriting millions of dollars from a source that you never expected.  I didn't really like McCain before, but I like her so much anyway that she's gotten McCain my vote.  I'm just not used to politicians doing things I like...

Answer 8

it's a joke if he is not elected, butif  we mess up and elect this guy we will be the joke all over the world.

Answer 9

…the oldest girl is rumored to have actually been the one who had the last baby, the one with Down’s Syndrome. She was taken out of school the last 4 or 5 months of her mother’s pregnancy.

On March 5th, 2008 Alaska’s Republican Governor, Sarah Palin, announced to the media that she was 7 months pregnant with her 5th child. She is currently 44.

Palin’s daughter Bristol is 16 and attends an Anchorage high school. Students who have attended class with her report that she has been out of school for months, claiming a prolonged case of mono.

Palin does not appear pregnant in any recent photographs.  

Answer 10

You Obamabots are freaking out. How cool is it when you all wake up in mental institutions.

Answer 11

its a good joke to me.

now obama will have a better chance.

Answer 12

Why? Afraid?

Answer 13

If you are a McCain supporter, then you're a disgrace.  How dare you question your candidate's choice!  What kind of supporter are you?!

If you are an Obama supporter, then whatever.  I never expected more from you.

Answer 14

It is a bad joke on women--he thinks he can pander "A woman" to democratic women, to replace Hillary--that's a real insult to HIllary as well.

Answer 15

No,

Wow, Obamabots are really panicking!

Answer 16

It's only being considered a bad joke by Obamabots.  Oops, sorry, didn't mean any offense by that.  It's just too bad people will not look at the issues and who has the best record.  Although Palin is young, she has accomplished many things as a public servant.  I'm not going to list them all, just check out the source below, if you truly want to help America.

Answer 17

I know. I was thinking "What a joke" when I saw who he picked. There are much more qualified Republicans than miss beauty queen out there that he could have picked. He just put our country in danger. Literally!!!

Answer 18

I think the Democrats' nominations (Barack Hussein Obama and the other scumbag Biden are a bad joke.

Answer 19

NOPE, McCain is done. Stick a fork in it.

Answer 20

I hope so.

Answer 21

No, Sarah Palin will reveal that she was Dan Quayle before the operation.

Answer 22

There's really no way he could match the joke the democrats put up.  

Answer 23

kinda like bush's nomination of harriet myers to the supreme court

McCain = Bush's third term

Answer 24

Your question made me laugh because I asked the same question about Obama a few weeks back.  Was it just a big joke that he was nominated to see how much it would take before America (dems) would realize it was a joke.

As for McCain's V.P. choice- are you jeolous because the Republicans will have the first female V.P. when you know that had Obama picked Hillary it would have been the Dems?  You know you only have him to blame!

Answer 25

Looks to me like only the Dems are worried about his choice. They're drooling all over the place. Just when everyone was so worried about hurricane Gustov, in blows hurricane Sarah, blowing the socks right off the Dems. I'm so proud of McCains choice!! She's an awesome lady that has done very, VERY well. She's got more experience than the Dems number one man!  

Answer 26

I sure hope that McCain is not serious about picking Palin.

Answer 27

You wish!  But the fact is McCain picks a beautiful, articulate, pro-life, gun-toting (lifetime NRA member and avid hunter), Washington beltway outsider (*way* outside, as in Alaska) "anti-Hillary" /anti Cindy Sheehan (because she's proud of her son going to Iraq) as his running mate!  Cry now Cry loud...McCain is going to win...okramba can teach at the university level....that's where the idiots are!

Answer 28

LOL I like your question I am sorry it is not a joke he is serious.

Sorry he will not announce tomorrow that he choose Mitt Romney.

Answer 29

Are you really against a young white woman with exceptional credentials and experience becoming the vice president?  Are you sexist? or just jealous?  

Answer 30

he chose palin because she was the perfect pick and im so sick and tired of people saying it was just to get the woman vote. She is a mans woman, a lifelong member of the NRA and has all the right ideas about our contry. Now QUIT making this election about race and gender. Focus on the politcs for once

Answer 31

Obama is the joke.  You got punked.  Heh.
