Why Didn't The GOP Pick A Qualified VP To Run With McCain?

Question

Let's be realistic about his age and health.....Do you really think Sarah Palin is "Presidential material"? She might be down the road at some point, but she doesn't seem as qualified as say Joe Biden. Why didn't the GOP pick someone like Condi, or Elizabeth Dole, or God forbid Mitt Romney (the person that truely should've been chosen)?

Answer 1

She is better qualified than Obama, Biden and McCain.

She has more executive experience than all of them. You are just spewing out the lies the Liberal media is trying to shove down our throats. Keep it up! All you'll end up doing is alienate more people. Just saying it over and over is not going to make it true.  

Answer 2

again, its called puppeteering for profiteering

Answer 3

GOP had no role in this. It's all McCain's 'great  invention'.

In anyway, Palin is clearly nobody and talking about her is a waste of time. McCain/Rove goal here was to create a havoc , so that McCain had a chance to crawl on his belly under fire to presidency as Bush2000

Answer 4

My thoughts exactly until I watched that lady the other night at the RNC.  Now I know why, she can beat the democrats hands down!

Go McCain/Palin 2008!

Answer 5

Because she is a washington outsider and has executive management experience.

Answer 6

Why did the dems pick a neophyte to be at the top of their ticket?  The roles should be reversed if the dems were serious about winning.

Answer 7

I think more would have voted for Mccain than Obama if Mccain had chosen Huckabee as his VP.

Answer 8

and Obama has the best experience Dem's have to offer...lol...president...verse...vice president...

Answer 9

You can trash the GOP VP, but you have to remember that she has more experience than the Dem P.

Keep that in mind

Answer 10

Because Palin IS qualified.

She is better qualified than Obama, and he was picked to run for president.

Go figure.

Answer 11

Because it's driving you crazy that she fired up the GOP, and now you are posting on Y/A to whine.

Any cheese?

Answer 12

because MCLAME needed a woman on the ticket to appease all the hillary supporters who were bitter that obama didn't pick her.

Answer 13

LOL, the real question is why doesn't the Democratic party have any qualified candidates anymore

That is why this Democrat is voting Republican

Answer 14

Because of the desperation Mc Cain suffer from

Answer 15

How many times are you people going to say the same stupid things? It sounds like you want to be able to pick one. And Biden has more experience than Obama.

Answer 16

Palin is more qualified to run a government than Obama. And Biden -- what has he done in the Senate that would qualify him to run the government? If you are a "do nothing" Senator, then you will be a "do nothing" President.

Choosing Palin is keeping in line with Obama's precious line about "change."

Answer 17

They went for shock and awe. The whole point of Sarah Palin was to "steal the thunder" from Obama's speech. Also, they feel that she can steal Hillary voters... I'm inclined to believe, as well, that she's put in place for a sympathy vote. Anytime you say anything about her, she's being unfairly attacked.

Answer 18

She does have executive experience...Why didn't the democratic party pick a PRESIDENTIAL candidate who was qualified?
