Seems to me his main reason for that was to win Hilary supporters who wanted a woman.

Luckily, McCain has the political experience of TWENTY MEN.

But seriously, if he gets into office and dies of old age we're in trouble.

Re: McCain Picks Vice President

Her political ideology and uncanny ability to flout her own party and still be successful worries me more than her lack of experience. God forbid, McCain dies, and you get someone in there who's competent, capable and completely misguided.

Re: McCain Picks Vice President

His party only did this to win over Clinton supporters. The only reason. They knew they would need their vote to win.

Plain and simple.

Both candidates are pansies, IMO. I don't really care anymore...

Re: McCain Picks Vice President

I agree that her gender is a political asset to McCain in garnering female support, but I'm not sure any Clinton supporters are all that excited about Palin, given her policies and views.

She is able, though, to provide the Republican ticket with some visible connection to a younger generation, a female presence that might make conservative/republican female voters feel all bubbly inside that they could be contributing to history, and an unspectacular history so the good ol' boys of the party won't feel intimidated.

But what's with her kids' names? Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, and Trig. Yikes.

Re: McCain Picks Vice President

so does anybody else think that if Hillary had won the Democratic nomination, he would've picked a black VP?

Re: McCain Picks Vice President

democrats: "****, so this is what it feels like when you opponents run a crazy ***** candidate"


republicans: "****, now we have to vote for a woman"



both v.p. choices were bad, but at least mccain didn't cop out and pick the safe white christian party line male choice


2008: vote freak

Re: McCain Picks Vice President

If the progressive no-experience Democrat gets assassinated, we have a stuffy old guy for president.

If the stuffy old guy Republican dies of old age, we have a progressive no-experience Republican.

EVERYBODY WINS/LOSES.





On the side note: I'm still voting Obama. Not to say I want it to happen, but an assassination would rock the world into action more than McCain snoring to death.

Also Trig is a terrible name for a child with down syndrome jesus christ.
