McCain can cinch this now, with Governor Sarah Palin as VP. Big! (vanity)

Posted on 08/23/2008 8:44:02 AM PDT by Cringing Negativism Network

With the Biden pick, Obama has just opened a huge opportunity for McCain!

If McCain picks Palin, he will win a landslide, not seen since the election of President Ronald Reagan.

For all the same reasons. This could change history.

Kay Bailey Hutchison continues to say she has no interest in being VP. She also would be a good choice, if she decided to go for it.

I really like Palin but I McCain has to pick a VP who will be perceived as being ready to take over, who has the “gravitas” (I hate that word), the years of executive experience and proven accomplishments. Palin needs more experience. Romney is ready.

Just Google “Sarah Palin” and you will see it.

You saying that everybody on FR is a governor of a state? I didnt even know I was one, I still havent got my check in the mail.

Or perhaps your issue isnt that she is a governor of a small state anyways. Not like strong women much? Or you are a finalist in McCains veepstakes?

i just yesterday saw Geraldine Ferraro say she wished McCain would pick Kay Bailey Hutchison. Don’t know if that’s good or bad. Seems to indicate that Kay would draw the older Dem woman demographic that is still POd about Obama.

I understand the fresh face, but I think she’s too fresh a face. I also think the fact that she has a baby is a negative. She’s probably still nursing the baby.

You have to pick someone that could be president, and I don’t think someone with a baby under a year old is a good idea.

She’s obviously a great asset to the republican party.

no he can’t.

Think of the VP debate.

We want biden to be the clueless admiral of the Ross Perot Ticket.

Somehow, sadly, she does not seem to have the knockout power against Biden’s mere image.

Could be wrong, but now the race is wide open for McCain to provide a HUGE contrast to the Obama/Biden clueless in denver ticket.

I think it would be great for the republicans to pick a woman VP, but there aren’t many who have enough experience.

I told my husband that Jean Kirpatrick would be good if she was still alive.

I used to be a big fan of Condoleeza Rice, but I don’t really like how she’s been handling the Russia situation. I’m just not as impressed with her.

I think the VP cannot be just based on gender. It has to be someone that has the correct experience.

She’s not a good pick. Get over it.

somehow I think it is best to let the Democrats self destruct on their own and just stand out of the way.

Obama wanted a 3am hollywood style wait in line PR stunt for VP.

They have an American Idol stage fit for a german rock star.

They have rapid processing booking stations for arestees.

They bought manicures for the homeless

you can’t make this stuff up.

this is going to be a wellstone II or III

See how they play out and adjust accordingly.

I don’t think he’ll pick Palin for VP, but if he chooses her for some juicy role in his admin, would you object to that?

Kay Bailey Hutchison would lock up the electoral votes of Texas.

Obiden would eat her alive in a debate until he began to lie.

Obama/Obiden for Prez.

Biden has no shame! just two months ago he said he would NOT accept the VP slot.

He did tell the turth about Barack! The man is NOT qualified to sit in the Oval Office.

America becomes sicker and sicker as the Silver hairs leaves us.

I wouldn’t mind that. What are you thinking? She seems a good pick for something having to do with energy.

She would bring in the pro-life vote, in spades.

One group that will no vote for McShill/Lieberman.

Also, Palin is an admitted past pot smoker and is in legal trouble in Alaska over her firing of a state commissioner.

That didn't stop Bill Clinton.
