MSNBC are melting already and it’s not official.Had to turn them off.
You guys are:
GOOD!!!!
Thread is pulled.
The big differences are that in 2008 the name recognition can be won very quickly, and Palin is inherently far far more appealing than the sour and tedious Ferraro ever was.
Once Palin is well introduced to the country she will do great. She doesn’t need to lead the ticket after all, she just needs to help here and there at the margins. Ferraro couldn’t add anything but Palin can, IMHO.
“Picking Palin would definitely make it harder to go after Obama for his “inexperience”. McCain would lose a lot of credibility on that front.”
I disagree. She has 2 more years of executive experience. She is the real Change Agent. She has spearheaded reform. Obama has no accomplishments. Obama is a empty suit, even McCain’s VP who is younger has more experience and more accomplishments.
McCain was going to win anyway, but this will fire up the base big time because people like Palin and Jindal are the future of the Republican Party.
It scares me that we haven’t heard that Crist, Liberman, Huckabee and Ridge are out yet, but have heard that Pawlenty and Romney are both out. Picking any of the rest of those guys would be a BIG let-down to the base.
Fox-Airplane tied to McCain fundraiser.
Nice looking family all around.
You are forgetting one slight detail...Governor Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama...he has zero!
This has the makings of a historic day that will rally the base like we haven't seen since 1980! McCain, with all his flaws and I have been a very tough critic of him, is showing that he wants to win!
Picking Palin would definitely make it harder to go after Obama for his “inexperience”. McCain would lose a lot of credibility on that front.
Yup. This is a BIG LOSER in my opinion. Say hello to President Obama.
Media meltdown?!? Please. Since when does the media give a Republic candidate any credit. They’ll be ripping him and her 2 minutes after the announcement. The fact she has not been through the national ringer is suicidal. Romney would have cleaned Biden’s clock in the debates and would have been an excellent attack dog. Too bad for McCain he couldn’t check his ego. VP pick is suppose to be ready to step in and be President. Who the hell is Palin?
BTW Bob Beckle has a very worried look on his face!
Liberman is on vacation-Fox
Nah, just a bunch of bitter redneck white folks, still clinging to their guns and religion.
Everytime I look at that picture of her family I smile. They are a REAL family.
Governor Palin is a CONSERVATIVE. Fire up the base.
Per CNN, Ridge out for coffee and a haircut this morning. NOT RIDGE!
He always either looks worried or constipated; it's hard to tell the difference sometimes...
Even if Obama is in the Senate for 30+ years, he still won't be "qualified" for the job.
Obama is running for the top spot. She is running for the top spot in 2016 (unless McCain opts out after one term, then she will be running against Hillary) as the most qualified AND experienced.
Another angle, this could very well put a big damper on the "black" turnout for Obama as they will see that a woman will bring greater numbers to McCain than they can muster for Super-Zero.
This would put "The Sting" on the dems who just showed their hand with 4 nines from a stacked deck only to have McCain throw down 4 Jacks.
Not only does it win this election but it puts 2012 and 2016 in the "OH-Crap" column for the Dems.
Fox-Airplane tied to McCain fundraiser per Carl Cameron...
