Sarah Palin - why? Surely there were other female Republicans with more / better credentials that her?

Question

Is she really under investigation?? I haven't came across that yet in my reading up about her.

If it's true what the h**l was McCain thinking about!!!!

Answer 1

She went to school for politics years ago meaning she already had and interest. She has been involved for awhile now.

She stands up for what is right.

She was the first Governor of Alaska and they like her.

She has strong family values.

She has more experience then Obama.

Vote McCain / Palin

Has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of.

Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today.

Answer 2

Palin has a record for reform and cutting pork and balancing budgets. She sold the state jet plane and cancelled many dumb construction projects and got her corrupt brother-in-law state trooper fired for multiple violations.

McCain has long seen himself as a maverick and a reformer and has picked someone like that for veep. consistent. Palin can fight and struggle to reform the corrupt u.s. congress.  a bold move by john mccain.

Answer 3

i agree, but i am sooooooo happy that he did it.  this woman has ties to big oil and is already under investigation.  

Obama/Biden '08

Answer 4

Obviously she was chosen just because she is a woman to court Hillary voters.

Answer 5

But, but, but she's HOT!  Ridiculous, isn't it?  She's under investigation for abuse of power, but she's cute, so all is forgiven.  

She tried to get a subordinate to fire her ex-bro in law state trooper.  Nice, huh?

Answer 6

Why do you think he chose her? Because he thinks females are stupid and will vote for him just because he has a female running mate, even though she has a lack of experience and no credidentials.

By the way, a staunch opponent of abortion, Ms Palin has five children.

Yep, she sure looks like a respectable politician who means business!

Answer 7

She has more executive experience than Obama, and she's not even running for President, she's only the VP. Also, McCain has plenty of experience she doesn't need to have a ton like Biden, Biden has experience b/c he's making up for Obamas lack of experience, McCain didn't need that. She is a conservative and is a women two things which will help McCain.

Answer 8

She's right most female politicians look like janet reno. Plus she ran on a platform of no corruption and budget cuts. he's hoping to cut into obamas base i think.

Answer 9

Her qualifications:

1984 runner up for Miss Alaska

Former sports reporter

Used to hunt moose at 3:00 A.M. (Hillary can you match that?)

Played basketball (as good as Obama?)

Married to an Eskimo

Eats Moose hamburgers

Member of NRA

What more could you ask? Sounds like the ideal candidate in case anything happens to McCain she will be ready on Day One.
