This could be the stupidest move on McCain's part....or the smartest.....we shall see.

Alaska's Governor? Kind of like a touch-and-go move, if you ask me.

And, she's hot. :cool:

neverending 08-29-2008 08:41 AM

It's a smart move.


But it won't work.

One can never tell.


"Aside from her physical attractiveness (she is a former beauty queen), Palin's reputation as a 'clean government, anti-corruption' candidate would be a refreshing departure from the closed doors and whispered secrets of the Bush administration.

Also, in perhaps her most crucial stance on any one issue, Palin is firmly against abortion, making her one of few mainstream female US politicians who Republicans can count in the pro-life column.

Another strong point is her high approval percentage, which has hovered at or above 80 per cent for most of her two years as governor.

The formal announcement will come in Dayton, Ohio soon when Governor Palin will be introduced by Senator McCain in a campaign event.

Palin, an avid sportswoman, is said to be a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. She is a regular church-goer and pro-life.

According to analysts, the choice of Palin will help Senator McCain on many fronts, including in the Arizona Senator's brave decision to go for a woman on the ticket when his Democratic rival Barack Obama did not.

Secondly, it makes the Democrats vulnerable of attacking Governor Palin for fear of offending the woman vote.
"


All of them pretty strong points.

neverending 08-29-2008 09:08 AM

They don't need to attack her- they've got McCain.

Super idea.

Papillon Noir 08-29-2008 09:52 AM

I think this is a good move for McCain. This really has been an interesting election so far and I think it will be hard to predict a winner.

Seems like a blatant attempt to pick up all the women votes that were going to Hilary, many who said they would vote for McCain if Obama got the nod over her in the primaries. Women can be so spiteful :rolleyes:

a 72 year old preisdnetial nomination has put a person wtih 1.5 years of experience as governor of the least populated state in the union within a heartbeat of the presidency. palin is the single stupidest and most crass move in the history of american politics - this si a desperate move to lure hillary clinton supporters and i can only pray to god that there are no women stupid enough to be lured into tihs ridiculous trap

Either way we'll have a first now.

The first black (well, half at least) president or the first woman VP (Hillary doesn't count).

I doubt many women were voting for hilary simply because she is a woman. The ones that did are probably hardcore "womynists" that would object to the hardcore right views of palin, ESPECIALLY abortion. She could very well bury mccain.

They should be more worried about the problems their country has. Unless you find a perfect country which would be odd. Just make sure to learn the language and enjoy your four (or eight, who knows, if he gets elected once it could happen again) year stay. Try China, the Olympics helped gloss over their issues. Wait, maybe not China, we still want you around here and this website might not fit the government standards.

Hey there you go, an official language he knows, a thriving economy...

as long as you don't have any qualms with The Governor General.





Honestly though, I think this hurts McCain's chances more than anything and while I thought it could be a close race before I think Obama will run away with this one.

Just go up there and start working and don't pay any taxes. We're supposed to allow that in America aren't we?

Canada does seem like a really nice alternative.

Unless I'm wrong he has only been in the US Senate for 2 years but spent 8 years in the Illinois Senate.

Palin was also a mayor (two terms) before becoming the Governor of Alaska. EDIT: Also, I just read that she's been in "politics" since 92'.

Oh, and as for "Bush Lite", McCain not only has ran ads against Bush (when they were campaigning against each other which got real nasty) but also went against most of the Republican party with some of his legislation and supreme court votes.

Which makes it interesting that they have latched on to the concept of their creator being the christian god so strongly, seeing as how they were built by man and the devil ;)

MisterSadistro 08-30-2008 07:27 PM

Sadly, editorial replies confirmed a lot of women saying they are jumping on the McCain bandwagon in today's paper rather than supporting Obama. It makes me feel like a lot of people (not just women) in politics have the mentality that "if you don't somehow support all my ideas and ideal candidate, I will vote for the other person". Is it just me, or is having at least some of your views represented better than having none at all ? I personally feel like this country has fallen by the wayside in the last 8 years and if Hilary was the Democrat nomination, at least she represents my views more than McCain so I would've voted for her. I don't give a shit about "making history" so much as I am worrying about "repeating history". Black, white, Latino, man, woman.... whatever. This country hasn't worked for anyone but a few people in the last few years so if anyone can at least try to make a difference for the majority, I am all for it. You don't need to have much experience on the job as so many McCain supporters are trying to knock. Point in question: How many guys here would prefer having their new girlfriend having a great heart and making a better life together than "experience" ? Considering McCain & Co has been screwing everyone for 35 years, I'd stay away from that :D

Well said...but sadly...no mater what party gets in it will be "historic".....and its all about the ratings baby!
