McCain was the stiffest stiff that ever stiffed. He came across as so unnatural in EVERYTHING he said.

And let's face it...everyone swarmed to Palin because she was the antithesis of stiff and not because she deserved to be his running mate. We rallied to her because she's all we had.

She's likeable, apparently conservative, an attractive candidate, can give good speeches. But she was industrial strength unqualified to be VP, just as Obama is industrial strength unqualified to be president.

McCain thought the chickie vote would flock to him because of her, and he was wrong. Feminists will sell out a fellow woman YESTERDAY and excuse any atrocity against women as long as the perpetrator shares their politics.

McCain thought the chickie vote would flock to him because of her, and he was wrong.

You know, that's one aspect of this election that shocked me in the end--how utterly catty several of the women I knew were toward Palin. They hated her from the second she was nominated and drank up every last bit of gossip about her. They WANTED to believe it all--even the most outlandish stories.

There's something deeply disturbing about the female psychology when another woman is suddenly perceived as "the enemy."

Was she really that unqualified, or is that just the picture painted by the MSM and the Obama campaign? In terms of successful EXECUTIVE experience, other than Romney, she’s arguably the best qualified and accomplished of the major candidates this time around. (Some might count Hillary ahead too, given the argument that she was really the “pants” in the Clinton Whitehouse.) Granted, she’s not an experienced national policy wonk, or an accepted member of “the ruling elite”. But, I’d take good sense and solid conservatism over most of the Washington / established government crowd, any day.
