I was seriously hoping he'd pick Lieberman or Romney so I could laugh at him. I think his choice of Palin is worse than Obama's choice of Biden. You can't criticize someone on being "inexperienced" and then pick some young thang VP. She's younger than Obama, and she's only been a governor for 2 years. And she's from ALASKA. Who lives in Alaska?

I was hoping he'd pick Lieberman too, that would've been pretty interesting.

Exactly.
Sarah Palin, mother of 5, member of the PTA, and less than one term governor from Alaska. |

i do not think this was a good pick at all. how are you gonna drill in the inexperience stuff on obama and then pick this lady? i think it's underestimating women voters if they think that they will back this lady JUST because she's a woman. i'm disappointed. he should have gone with romney imo.

JC, you'd be surprised how many women would vote for someone based on the fact that the candidate is a female. Many of the Clinton supporters I've met here in the south listed that as their primary reason. It's quite sad. |

She brings with her a really strong background in energy policy, which is a major issue right now.
I think it's a very innovative choice and vital for the party. But I also think she needs a MAKEOVER. |

i just read cafferty saying this:
QUOTE All we have heard from John McCain for months is, “Barack Obama is too young. Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be commander-in-chief. Who do you want answering the phone in the White House at three a.m.? Blah, blah, blah.” So what does McCain do? He picks someone to be his running mate who is even younger than Barack Obama and has less experience. Sara Palin is 44 – Obama is 47. Sara Palin is in her first term as governor of Alaska, a state that has 13 people and some caribou. Obama is a member of the United States Senate from Illinois. It’s not a big deal, except for this: If McCain wins, he will be the oldest person ever inaugurated for a first term at 72. He has a history of health problems that include bouts of melanoma, a potentially deadly form of skin cancer. It is reasonable to consider that McCain’s running mate could be called upon to be our president. Meanwhile, some may see this as a move for McCain to attract disaffected women who voted for Hillary Clinton and aren’t yet behind Obama. But that might not work for a few reasons: Palin, like McCain, is pro-life. Also, she might be a woman, but she’s no Hillary Clinton. the bolded part is my thought too. i think that makes it much more risky feeling. |

Um, maybe he's trying to reference McCain using a chick to unite votes and that Obama is using a white guy to unite votes?
Hell if I know. lol The way the mind works perpetually perplexes me. |
