McCain wanted Lieberman. If there was brilliance involved, it wasn’t McCain’s.
Whatever his leanings were, the campaign team, of which he is presumably the head, made a decision after the Biden selection to take a risky, bold move. This campaign has played things VERY deftly in the last few weeks. It sounds like she’d been under the vetting process since this spring, and the media is in this frenzy because the campaign held its cards so close to its chest.
C’mon, give credit where credit is due: the candidate controls the message and makes the final decisions. McCain himself is just glowing (for the first time) in the reflection of the joy we conservatives have that he picked a conservative who set the left on its ear. And Obama has stepped up his gaffes from the innocent (57 states, giving asthmatic children Breathalyzers) to the ugly (pig, stinky fish). LOLOL! It’s like listening to a kindergartner who doesn’t get his way, his insults are amusing in their childishness, but they reveal the utter emptiness of the candidate who knowingly utters them.
Sarah Palin has ROCKED this election, and anybody who posts a vanity thread completely ignoring that fact seems to have another agenda, maybe to stir up trouble?
