Uh......isn't this INSANE??

Question

If we EVER needed proof of McCan't inability to lead, or mental dementia...THIS IS IT.

“DAYTON, Ohio - John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a maverick conservative with less than two years in office, as his vice presidential running mate Friday in a startling choice as the Republican National Convention drew near.

In a fast-developing presidential campaign, McCain made his selection six days after his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, named Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, as his running mate.

The contrast between the two announcements was remarkable — Obama, 47, picked a 65-year-old running mate with long experience in government ...

On his 72nd birthday, McCain chose a 44-year-old running mate who until recently was the mayor of small-town Wasilla, Alaska — and made no claim she was ready to sit in the Oval Office.

It wasn't a point lost on Obama's campaign.

"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency," Adrianne Marsh, a spokeswoman for Obama, said in a written statement.

Unlike Biden, who attacked McCain sharply in his debut last week, Palin was indirect in her initial attempts to elevate McCain over Obama.”

Answer 1

Tell me about Palins spending $400,000 in state funds to defeat a ballot initiative to stop the rich boys from killing wolves from aircraft! ;-(=

Answer 2

This is the level the Republican party has sunk to...no long-term planning, no forethought, just what looks good "today".  McCain probably doesn't care if she's not qualified to be Pres, because he'll be dead anyway!

I kinda feel sorry for Palin because she's going to be ravaged by the wolves for her inexperience.  He really set her up for failure.

Answer 3

It was a smart tactical move to get supporters of hilary because people want a woman in the white house. Most people don't really research their candidates as sad as that is

Answer 4

I live in Alaska.  Its insanity.  Why didnt he just pick some high school history teacher, theyd be more qualified.

Answer 5

Not insane, but politically motivated.  If this is the kind of snap decision making we can expect from McCain, there's no way he gets my vote!
