^Wow. Karl Rove was wrong, color me not surprised.
Though if any ticket with Quayle can win, we must not underestimate her, as we underestimated Bush. We can't fall into that trap anymore.
Notice, btw, that a position in the state legislature in LA is seen as a part-time job---they all have "real" jobs to support themselves.
there were quotes from McCain staffers about why they wanted to hold the pick until the Friday after Obama's speech so he could "own the weekend."
Gustav has kicked Palin off the news.
No, I've seen Palin and Gustov basically spliting the coverage so far today on the three cable news channels. I think the McCain camp just wanted to make sure Obama didn't dominate the weekend. Now his speech is, at best, the third biggest story of the weekend.
So, the potential next Vice President of the United States of America was chosen because of the choice's ability to knock something down a peg on a specific weekend's newscast?
Wouldn't u think the convention starting this week would do the same?
Obama made a strong, centrist, cautious, thoughtful, almost expected choice.
McCain double-downed on breasts.
and Jesus riding dinosaurs. and murdering innocent polar bears.
What are you talking about? Biden is the third most liberal senator in the country. Obama completely abandoned his "change" facade to pick someone who is been in the senate for 36 years. As someone on TV said the other day, Obama flinched in his first big decision. He should have gone with a governor, not someone who is part of the problem. How was he being "thoughtful?"
McCain did what McCain does. Think outside the box, pick someone few people expected, who has bucked her own party, something I have seen none of from Obama or Biden.
I'll choose to ignore the sheer stupidity of this...
this was shrewd of the McCain folk. if he chose Romney or Pawlenty, everyone would have been all, "oh, ok, that's what we thought. we know these people."
also, totally cynical, completely irresponsible, and probably going to blow up in their faces because it exposes just what John McCain has always been about, despite all his "Good Soldier/Maverick" pretensions: John McCain.
It was NOT brilliant....
I have yet to speak with a woman who did not find his choice insulting...insulting because they feel the campaign is treating them like they would vote for a woman over substance.
I was at a fantasy football draft, and the joke of the night was the pick. I mean, not one, not a single person in the room felt that she was qualified. And when it boils down to it, the Democratic ticket is stronger from the top to the bottom, point blank stronger. MOst of the guys I play with are reapublicans. They are horrified.
If this campaign is that desperate to win, that getting media attention for two days prior to the convention was that important, then he deserves to lose my vote.
I cannot in good conscience vote for this ticket, because he may not live long enough to complete it and she is not ready, not even close.
They realize, though won't admit, that she was brilliant.
It's fun to watch the liberals squirm, not knowing how to go after her. They're worried. They realize, though won't admit, that she was brilliant. Please carry on, Irvine and others.
i think McCain would agree.
Stop it. If he had picked Romney, you and others would have said "Oh look, there goes John McCain again. Picking someone he can't stand just so he can win. Putting winning above principle." And you know it. McCain picked a maverick.

if you were running for president, would you want Sarah Palin to be the next in line to assume the presidency should you become unable to serve?
