Question

Why is Hillary running for President considered progressive but Palin running for V.P. a gimmick?

Answer 1

good question

Answer 2

Because the socialists are hypocritical.

Answer 3

Hillary was an excellent choice, but we no longer have that option due to some dirty politics within the Democratic party.  They got what they wanted in Obama, but they also chose to ignore a significant faction that believed in Hillary's ideals.  

When I first heard about Palin I thought it was probably a gimmick, but then I took a look at her, and she is definitely a great choice if McCain is committed to reform and a new kind of Republican party.  She's a down to earth real person who has strongly defined values, and experience in challenging waste and corruption within the GOP.  I don't think she is a gimmick.  

Answer 4

Sarah Palin has NO IDEA what a VP does.  SEE/HEAR HER IN HER OWN WORDS:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pak-rH0dC...

(her V.P. comments are toward the end of the video)

Oh yeah, and she's under investigation for corruption.

Answer 5

Hillary had the creds. Palin has been governor of Alaska for 1 1/2 years. It's hardly even a real state.
