So Palin is a “non starter” with no hyphen, according to an anonymous Internet poster? Who is a “starter”.? Someone approved by the anonymous Internet poster. Let me quess, someone like, oh, Bob Dole, Jesse Helms, Romney, or any of the established Establishment politicians, like the very one we were so fortunate to get on top of the ticket. How about the younger Bush brother? Include me and many of us here out if McPain picks one of your lame favourites!
McCain has never mentioned her as a possibility. The only place she ever gets mentioned is here about once a week. With or without a hyphen. The fact that she has a special needs infant is a consideration. Anyone so cold blooded that they could dump such a child somewhere while she campaigns to get McCain elected is no prize. If there is a competent conservative woman that McCain would choose (he wouldn't) I have no objection. But I don't think McCain will choose any conservative. He has said that more than once. But people hear what they want to hear.
