Is Sarah Palin the female Dan Quayle?

Question

“Dan Quayle in a pantsuit.”

That’s what I thought the minute I found out that Sarah Palin will be the Vice Presidential nominee on the Republican ticket with John McCain. She’s young, she has been Mayor of a small town, and is now a first term governor - not a tremendously impressive resume.

This is blatant pandering at its worst, and a huge mistake for John McCain. John McCain’s biggest problem happens to be his age. Pairing up with an attractive forty-something is not going to solve this problem. The fear he needed to allay was the ability of the VP to step in should he become incapacitated, and he didn’t do that.

Woolacott

Answer 1

And would you call Obama an attractive 40 something pairing up with with someone (Biden)whos biggest problem is he is only a handful of years younger than McCain and has had 2 brain aneurisms.

I mean 'This is blatant pandering at its worst and a huge mistake for' .. Barack Obama.. since Obama wants change and Joe has been in washington for 35 years doing the same ole same ole

Answer 2

I think the difference between her and Quayle is she can probably spell potatoe. Yes I know it is potato, just quoting Dan there. At any rate she has about as much on her resume to be V.P. as does Barrack does to be President. Maybe there is blatant pandering on both sides, but then again it IS politics.

Answer 3

She went up against big oil and won.

Not bad for how long she has been in office.

It is more than Obama has accomplished.

And with his choice of Biden for VP, I think maybe Obama has no smarts also. This was definitely not a good time to s***w around with demographics. The moderate democrats have no representation, and are now up for grabs.

Answer 4

No, she's the female Bill Graham.

Answer 5

No, I disagree with you. Palin, unlike Quayle, has brains to go with her bravado.

Answer 6

Can she spell potato?

Answer 7

When his first wife had a car wreck, and got banged up a little, McCain dropped her ugly butt for his present wife.

Now she's looking a lot like the crypt keeper

So i wonder why he picked his Veep....

Answer 8

sarah palin rocks!!!

Mccain/Palin 2008

Answer 9

Sarah Palin is intelligent, motivated and proactive.

Dan Qualye was a lay-around potatoe and a misguided show-off.

Answer 10

she;s freakin hot, thats for d**n sure

Answer 11

In a VP way I suppose, but she'd be all over Quayle since he arrives at battles of wit with an empty gun and Palin is packin'.

Answer 12

Dan Quayle lives down the street from me. I kid you not.

Democrats go on to great things after leaving their political careers. Forming charities and doing public good will. Republicans just sit around and count their money.  

Answer 13

doesn't matter. she is our pacifier. im a hillary supporter. she has our vote.

Answer 14

Exactly how much is Obama paying you slanderous pieces of filth to post here?  Shame on you.

Answer 15

No.

and you didn't "think," you got angry and scared and your only weapon against that fear and anger is ridicule as evidence by your many vitrolic questions about Gov. Palin.

McCain and Palin make change happen ,

Obama and Biden talk about making change happen.

BIG difference.
