McCain may pick Sarah Palin

This is actually good for Obama.

In an obvious pander to women it looks like McCain may actually pick Sarah Palin as his veep. The admitted drug user and former beauty queen would be a nice buffer for those same sort of attacks Obama gets from the right. She’s been the governor of Alaska now for two years. That’s the level of experience that undermines the “experience” charges that Obama also takes from the right. She’s a big fan of drilling for oil in Alaska.. so you could probably set that in stone.

Nobody really has any idea who she is unless you’re in Alaska. Apparently, as Biden, she also has a child in the military. Which I think is the MAIN reason why she’s being so strongly considered now. There aren’t many high level politicians with kids in the military.. and even fewer that are female.

I don’t know about any of you.. but the potential of Sarah Palin sitting as the President of the United States is a little frightening. I’d feel more comfortable with Joe Biden in that role.

I do see the former beauty queen in her.. I’ll give her that.

    She is up for VP with limited experience, but Obama is going for president with limited experience. So what is more scary?

    Look at what she has done and what she stands for. That is why she is being considered.

    Obama has way more experience.

    Obama was the director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago when she was entering beauty pageants for Godsake.

    sexist? how?

    sorry Paul but naming Palin as veep doesn’t give the GOP the high road on women’s rights.

    please.

    I think Paul must be referring to the way Hillary was treated by the party and press.

    Obama was develping community projects-now that is laughable. And you can’t compaare what Obama has done or better yet what he hasn’t done to Palin because Palin is going for VP not president.

    But up side by side what McCain has done and what Obama has done. McCain blows him out of the water. Put Biden next to Palin and Binden blows her out of the water. But remember it’s experience against inexperience for the Presidency and that is what matters.

    Also how many VP’s in our lifetime actually were strong advisors? I can onyl think of 1 and you hate him. Other then that Gore was a show dog, Bush was nothing without Ronnie and does it really matter who was with Carter because Carter himself was a washout.

    To address your last comment..
    4 VPs have become President due to assassinations.
    4 other VPs have become President do to the death of a President.
    VP Ford became President when Nixon resigned.

    The VP also presides over the SENATE and has a TIE BREAKING VOTE.

    So in short Vic.. strong advisor or not.. it’s a pretty big position.

    Funny that you would call Al Gore a “show dog”… what the hell does that make Palin? a “show pony”? Because there certainly doesn’t seem to be much substance.

    She was the mayor of a small town in Alaska two years ago.. in a few months she could be casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate. And given McCain would be the oldest guy ever in office.. the possibility is there for her to be President.
    bizarre.

    SOBB, you sure do get a lot of criticsm from the right, lol!

    Anyway, this experience argument is getting kind of old. Do you really need experience to be a good president? Just so you know FDR was only a governor for four years, his namesake Theodore was even less experienced the he. Similar to Palin, both Woodrow Wilson and Grover Cleveland have only two years experience of being a governor. By the way, Eisenhower had no political experience at all. And all of those previously mentioned were two term, popular, and usually considered good presidents.

    Is it experience you should look at or beliefs, direction, or what your candidate represents?

    And the pity party on Hillary is getting old too. I think conservatives are deparate to keep it alive and are making stuff up to create some division and get Hillary supporter votes. But that won’t happen. Voting for McCain isn’t an alternative and Palin isn’t Hillary.
