Answer 6

He wants the Presidency in the worst way.  Yes, it's irresponsible.

Answer 7

The Republicans have obviously thrown in the towel...so, why not chose a nobody to sacrifice with McCain this election year?  Sounds reasonable to me...

Answer 8

McCain needed to choose someone he can work with.  He dislikes Romney and most of the others.  This woman is NO threat to McCain and McCain always chooses attractive women. 1st wife was a model but got messed up in a car crash, hence the 2nd wife became girlfriend while married to 1st wife.  2nd wife stays attractive via surgery.  This works for McCain.

He also choice a woman who has a newborn (April baby) and how odd that she probably won't be able to spend as much time being a VP.  Good news all around.

She already asked the Hillary voters to help her break the glass ceiling, hoping they would forget that she said Hillary was a whiner.

Once again, the "rookie" has fallen into another political trap.
