Expect a huge bump in the polls for McCain - dbl digits I expect.

DENVER - John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate on Friday in a startling selection on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

McCain said to choose Alaska gov as running mate. - Yahoo! News

A completely cynical and politically-motivated choice. Would the spin doctors really believe that the voters are as dumb as Thai voters and will just swallow this pandering. On what basis would she fit the criteria?

with Polish and Irish ancestryHe has to chose a minority or a female . . . blacks and septuagenarians/retirees are taken so he goes for the biggest 'minority' . . . I'm surprised he hasn't found a Hispanic, left-handed female.

I'm sorry, but if this is the case then US politics are a complete joke, and this is the latest chapter in a big book of cynical ploys.

Disgusting.

Well yes, these two are obvious, but what does she bring . . .

Ah, I give up with this crap circus.

why would stridently feminist, pro-choice women vote for someone who is fanatically anti-choice?

and to further add to the cynical aspect of this choice....this is such a ham-fisted pick, that it could very well end up turning independent women off and make them stay home on election day.

raycarey · 29-08-2008, 11:48 PM

i'm watching the live stream on msnbc, and there's a warm up band doing a cover of a kiss song.

wtf?

i assume mccain and palin will be out shortly...or maybe the old guy got lost on his way to the stage.

EXACTLY and this is politics at it's best/worst. This move allows those who to vote gender to offset (or compliment) those who are are voting for BHO on solely racial preferences. A good move on McCain's part as she is said to be extreamly competant as well. After all she is governing and providing leadership in management and the running of a state where as BHO has never run anything (except his mouth).

i doubt it, it is a very weak choice

virtually guarantees Obama the win

CSFFan · 29-08-2008, 11:54 PM

Palin is nice looking....I'd fuck her. Not bad looking, big tits and with a mouth like that you know she swallows. I'm going to vote for her and McOld cause I know they feel the same way..they'd fuck me if they got the chance.

britmaveric · 29-08-2008, 11:55 PM

What did Hillary say....McCain will bring vast amount of experience to the presidency and Obama a speech???

sabang · 29-08-2008, 11:57 PM

Two olde men, a woman and a black.
Someone should make a song out of this.

I don't know the Lady enough to comment- but from dirty Alaska?

britmaveric · 29-08-2008, 11:59 PM

Alaska is very pristine, fking cold though in the winter - spent a month in Jan there.
