Schumer calls Palin a "Hail Mary" pick

DAYTON _ Sen. Charles Schumer is among the first out of the gates with Democratic reaction to the Sarah Palin selection.

"After the great success of the Democratic convention, the choice of Sarah Palin is surely a Hail Mary pass," Schumer said. "It is a real role of the dice and shows how John McCain, Karl Rove et al realize what a strong position the Obama-Biden team and Democrats in general are in in this election."

Blessed art you Catholics for “stiff-arming” Senator Chuckie with his repugnant comment right on to his buttocks!

[A Strict Constructionist]

Chuckie’a a BLIVOT.

hora mortis nostrae

At Obams' hora mortis nostrae he'll remember Sarah Palin!

[ops33]

Sniff, Sniff. What’s that I smell, smells like fear!

[palomonte]

OK Schumer - if you want to use football analogies...

If Palin is a “Hail Mary”.

Obama is a “Trap”.

[xtinct]

P.A.B. it is... then the mods won’t nail me.. lol

[FLCowboy,]

Keep deluding yourself, Chuck. To already go on the offensive suggests to me that he finds this duo to be a bit formidable. I can’t wait to see her go up against Biden. Something tells me she’ll hold her own just fine. I, for one, am thrilled. Let the Dims have their little pity party. “Boo hoo. No one’s talking about our over-the-top extravaganza from last night! She stole our thunder! No fair!!”

My thoughts exactly. How many poor people in Denver could have eaten a nice meal rather than the extravaganza at Invesco Field.

I have to believe the opposition research the Obaman's ran feared her the most. She is the epitome of "change", not Obama and Biden.

And, Palin will have 38 years of ammunition (Biden's Senate career) to use against him. After 38 years, what does Biden have to show for it, other than a nice house. Biden won't be able to attack Palin, because on the only criticism he has is inexperience, Obama has less.

I am ecstatic oven Palin as VP.

When did Schmuck Schumer convert to Catholicism?

[popdonnelly]

Schumer’s opinions don’t mean anything to me.

[jimfree]

Chuckie tends to describe most things as the opposite of reality. Good to hear his response.

[Political Junkie Too]

"After the great success of the Democratic convention...

Most Democrat critics called the first two nights "wasted opportunities." Schumer calls the convention a "great success?"

I think the Palin pick is panicking the Democrats. They know that Obama is a weak candidate, they know that the Republicans are going to get a bounce next week. I suspect that they will repeatedly commit the "political malpractice" that they claimed McCain shouldn't do last night by intruding on their night with his VP pick.

I also think the election is much closer than the MSM is reporting. Based on my own analysis of the Rasmussen state polling, if you think that Democrats are over-sampled and switch just 1.25% from Obama to McCain across the board, McCain jumps to over 270 electoral votes already.

There are going to be a lot of Democrat psyops going on this week.

She was IN Vogue, not ON Vogue. That cover is a photoshop, and the actual Vogue photos are of her in winter gear in the snow.

And Palin made a one-hand catch; touchdown, game clock’s running.

ROFLMAO . . . times 2!. What a Maroooooooon this man is. He must not have heard the speech and he definitely did not read her resume' -- makes Obama's little jobs look like nothing to brag about.

Roll the dice? There was no dice. We don't have dice in National Elections. We have . . . Winners (McCain/Palin) and Losers (Obama/Biden).

Schumer calls Palin a "Hail Mary" pick.

Maybe. But McCain just connected in O-bama's end zone.

[joma89]

Let the democratic attacks begin. I doubt Governor Palin will cry like Shillery did when all those bad men ganged up on her during the democratic debates.

Go Governor Palin!
