About John McCain's VP selection
I think McCain is searching for an early reason why he lost the election. This is the first 'most important decision' that the next president must make. So, McCan't does this?<br />
<br />
How does Palin's age, at 44, somehow justify and/or relieve the tensions of voters whom are concerned about his age of 72, when she has absolutely no experience? If anything now his age becomes even more of an issue in the minds of voters because of her lack of knowledge of the global community? How can they pare off, or spin, the experience issue of Barack O8ama when their VP selection does not even know what the Vice President does? In her own words!<br />
<br />
Oh, and as for the gender credibility of this choice? There is none; period! Does McCain really believe that Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters will support Palin solely on the basis that she's a woman? The one thing that John McCain missed is the fact that Hillary Clinton was just as qualified as Barack O8ama, and that is why their primary battle was soo-ooo close and grueling. <br />
<br />
Yep, his first most important decision, and John McCain blew this one big time. Maybe what they're not telling us is that nobody really wanted this position. For that matter, maybe the repubs are already distancing themselves from this election and planning on rebuilding their party in 2012?<br />
<br />
I've said before that that was the reason they wanted Hillary to take the nomination. They all know, especially KKKarl Rove, what a screwed up mess they have made the past eight years. Now they are planning on undermining Barack O8ama's administration allowing him (and the Democrats) to take the wrath of the American people just like Jimmy Carter did in 1976-1980.<br />
<br />
I think what we Democrats need to be assessing is who the Republicans are planning on putting up as their candidate in 2012. They seriously are planning on O8ama being a one-term president. The only thing that will alter their plan is if the Democrats can achieve a filibuster proof senate majority. In which case, President O8ama will become an A ONE two term president.

However, I think that he got a little more than he bargained for. When she was giving a speech today she kept jabbing her finger in the air like Bill Clinton and McCain had to step back quickly in order to not get punched in the face. I could tell by his withering look that he did not approve.
His sexism is also telling in that all the women that he has chosen in this life have been taller than him and beauty queens.
Aha!!Novice, as in NO - VICE, could preclude that McSlime is so damned good that he doesn't need a #2, or that he has picked a person that is not attached to any 'vice' investigation. OOPS, Iguess the investigation free perspective is out.
McSlime is going to go it alone. Just like when hne was in that POW cell. All he needs is he to be free.
I spoke to grandpa Dine' Warrior relating to the McCain choice for VP.
Grandpa said that it is too bad that Obama did not pick Hillary. Grandpa said that Palin will help McCain take the presidency hands down.
Grandpa said that according to the grapevine in INDIAN COUNTRY all Native Americans that were going to abstain will be voting for Palin, not McCain. The same will apply for Mexican Americans that were Hillary and Bill Richardson supporters.
Grandpa sends greetings to all, he said that he will not be voting, not that he does not want to vote, the likelyhood of his being among the living in November is not a sure thing, but he is content and happy that the Great Spirit Grandfather has allowed him to live this long.
His beard is turning as white as driven snow, his mustache and his eyebrows also.
His hair is grown passed his shoulders.
He wants to leave in the way of our people.
T'a'a' iiyisi ahe'hee.
Little Dine'
'change' (that he's hip to that)
yet covering all the issues Rep platforms
He just didn't vet her properly, he looked for qualities that matched the party, but forgot to do a background check. Too, Palin is self promoting, she put a site out that called Vice President Palin.
Choosing her from this territory opens discussion and embraces what the GOP kept saying that they wanted to open discussion to drilling. McCain was indignant, "COME BACK NOW! COME BACK TO debate drilling. Get Nancy Pelosi..." Palin fits into the oil, the global warming...Palin fits all the issues and more, she's just not the perfect fit and he can't have it all, so he went with issues.
Men have muffed up our country and it's time women get a chance, even if they screw up, they can multi-task, it's what they're already pushing that Palin does well. I doubt she knows what she's getting into, she's not going to be able to skip a meeting to breastfeed, or change a diaper. She's there from dusk to dawn and it's mandatory meetings. She has a rude awakening.
So, maybe it's just his final statement to let woman try the hat on.
Your post is right, we need to think forward always.
The conservative wing of the GOP HATES Title VI and always has. They're probably FUMING (but privately and quietly) since Senator McCain picked his running mate.
They love her pro-life & pro-gun positions, but she apparently has some OTHER positions that might make 'em see RED. Errr... BLUE!
The GOP team did a pretty thorough job of prepping her before the Gibson interviews, but she screwed up on a couple of things that could potentially pull the conservative wing's support right out from underneath McCain during the home stretch.
Gibson tried to get her to say more about "Entitlement" programs, when he was asking her about her ticket's "economic programs." Did anyone else notice that she changed the subject??
The only thing she said about "entitlements" was when she was ad-libbing about how issues of "Sexism" weren't an issue for her because she went to Wasilla High School after Title VI was fully enforced. When I was that last night on Night Line, I could hear conservative teeth grinding all over the USA when she said that!!
I THINK WE'VE FOUND HER WEAKNESS!! Interviewers should continue to pursue that point Gibson got stonewalled about, regarding where she stands on other "entitlement programs."
If she hems and haws, the interviewers should throw her remark about Title VI back in her face and challenge her on it. Ask her if she stands behind it or if she's changed her mind.
It's a safe bet that she caught hell about it from her GOP handlers. So she'll be "sensitized" and get even MORE NERVOUS every time the subject comes up. If we're all very lucky, she'll screw up and crack like the political novice that she really is!
People... KILLER WHALES (Orcas) eat Barracudas for a light SNACK.
FEED SARAH TO JOE BIDEN!!!
