Sarah Palin as VP Choice? Wait, wtf?

Question

What do you think of Sarah Palin as VP Choice for McCain. I personally think it was a HUGE mistake. How about you?

Answer 1

What a dumb move.  Yeah she might have an 80% approval rating in alaska, but how many people actually live in alaska?  They have more reindeer than people.

They say Obama has no experiance, but Palin?  WTF?!?!?.  If anything its a slap in the face to all Clinton voters, especially women voters.  I think that the women voters will now go back to Obama/Biden.  At least Biden has been in Washington and has experiance there, to where if something happend to obama he would know what to do.

A woman gov. for 18mths has no qualifications whatsoever to be a vp. Those 18 million cracks in the glass are going to get sealed up and venture back to Obamas side.

She said they are putting in the natural gas pipeline in alaska, which is good, but she is still in favor of DRILLING FOR OIL!  

Completly the stupidest move mccain could have done.

Answer 2

It was an 'OH NO!' moment.

I had planned to vote for McCain if he selected Lieberman.

But don't think I will now.  

Here's some reasons why it may bite him in the butt..

1.PUBLIC SERVICE:

a. city councilwoman and then mayor of a town of 6500.

b. governor of a state with only 650,000 for only 2 years.

c. NO federal experience.

d. NO foreign policy experience

2. OTHER

a. admited marijuna smoker.

b. a good friend of corrupt Senator Stevens

c. Had someone modify her WIKIPEDIA info to look good.

McCain may not make it thru his presidency. his cholesterol is very high, his heart is in bad shape.

If OBAMA is not qualified after his federal service, then she would never be able to handle the job if McCain is not able to.

Answer 3

It's like watching some really bad comedy, I can't believe McCain - a 72 year old man - would pick a 42 year old woman to be VP. Imagine if he croaks as President, then she will be president! Scary thought.

Very bad decision to pick her.

Answer 4

Why wouldn't the former mayor of the Land of Misfit Toys be appropriate for the repubs?

*snicker*

Answer 5

you think it was a huge mistake, huh? do a little research. if you think Mccain is an old over the hill "know nothing" check this out, he picked a governor who is a life time member of the N.R.A. and there 80 million gun owners in this country.  dumb huh?

Answer 6

I keep saying this, Palin has made MORE changes than Obama has his whole life.  Of course it was brilliant.  

Answer 7

If McCain wanted to have any chance at drawing the "woman" vote in, I think he would have done a much better job had he picked Condi Rice.

Answer 8

Obama supporters think it a huge mistake.

McCain supporters think it brilliant.

Answer 9

Great choice! GOP as the women's rights party. Go McCain, a true maverick!

Answer 10

Agree.  The Palin pick is a complete disaster.  Only 20 months as governor of a small population state and already she is under investigation there.  Mayor of Wasilla doesn't count for much either.  McCain made a point during his campaign on the importance of EXPERIENCE.  Now we see he is a liar.  

Answer 11

Yes I agree.  Glad though, As far as I'm concerned, McCain lost the election today, whoo hoo..

Answer 12

No, Biden was a mistake. Obama flinched and didn't pick Hillary like he should have. Like I've always said, Democrats are great at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Answer 13

She is great.

Answer 14

it smacks of desperation,and a real lack of logic.conservative commentators are having a field day tearing into this one.

Answer 15

It was a bad bad decision.  

Answer 16

Time will tell. I will say that I was very impressed with her speech. None of the attack Obama/ Biden tactics, and I think that is good. I also think she was very well spoken and confident. She spoke as if she beleieved what she was telling. She has a big approval rating in Alaska.

I think it was a good pic, I think Romney/ Palin would have been better.

Answer 17

If you think it was a huge mistake, then you don't know anything about politics or a die-hard Obama fan.  She was right on so many levels.

Many Conservatives and Moderates are all FIRED UP and UNITED!

The people saying it was a bad decision weren't going to vote for him anyways.

Answer 18

Would someone explain to Pat F what a carton of eggs costs in Alaska.

Palin was an obvious attempt to patronize the women who wanted to vote purely for a candidate who was a woman. We are literally setting this woman 1 heart beat away from the Presidency. Why on Earth would anyone want a Hockey Mom from the PTA to be President ?

McCain likes to spout Obama is not qualified or ready, but I think it's time we started to point this rhetoric at Palin. She has no qualifications. She's in the middle of a scandal right now for God sake.

Answer 19

Governor Sarah Palin has facilitated a gas pipeline that pissed off the oil companies.  It will generate $112billion of income for the state over 20 years and create 12,000 new jobs.  On September 12th every man, woman and child in Alaska will get a check for about $3300.  This is an annual event.  Can your governor do this?
