Well... McCain just finished talking. Anyone? Anyone? McCain presented her qualifications as follows: - she's got executive experience
Oh... boy!!!! She just called her being picked "an opportunity". I hope we're not being introduced to the next Harriette Meyers.
LOL - she just called McCain "my running mate".
LOLOLOL!!!! :))))))) She's honoring the 'achievements' of Jerry Ferraro (she and Mondale won ONE state) and Hilly Clinton who just lost her nomination race.
I love to see people like you going nuts realizing your boy just lost.
If vast goes orgasmic , sound the alarm. I cannot believe that people still watch the political drivel on TV.
Andrea Mitchel just woke up from her feministic reverie... she's wondering "has the McCain campaign just conceded the 'experience' argument?" Remember the McCain's commercial "but is he ready to lead???". Well...
Well duh, Andrea. Palin is a GOVERNOR - ie she is a manager, and a gorgeous one at that unlike Put a bag on her Head Andrea. McCain picked Palin to cover his own Senator for Life weakness ie. lack of managerial experience. When McCain criticized Obama for lack of experience, he was criticizing Obama for being inexperienced in federal politics as compared to himself - he was comparing his Senatorial experience to Obama's Senatorial experience. But I think you knew that, didn't you, vast? McCain and Obama are both anti-America. But in terms of chess, McCain's the better player.
The 'experience' thing was McCain's strongest line of attack. I bet you anything that yesterday was the last day you could watch an 'experience' ad from the McCains. What is McCain's left with now? Explaining that he's not Bush? Attacking Obama for not being Hillary? He's done because he's got nothing to talk about between now and November other than "Look whom I picked. Isn't she lovely?"

Palin really is a good pick. She has more executive experience than Obama and Biden put together. And she is pro life. She backs up the pro life by not aborting her baby with Down Syndrome. McCain has done well. Hopefully, she can succeed to the presidency in the next year.
Yes, but if and when the Obie crowd points out Palin's inexperience, it backfires on him by highlighting Obie's unbearable lightness of experience. Palin 2 years Gov Obie 2 years Senator..... On the sociocultural front, she's a home run, what with hubbie having a real job of commercial Alyeska fisherman (a brass balls type of trade), - not a lawyer whitecollartype, and a bevy of kids, one deploying to Irak. She's easier on the eyes and ears than Biden. Not a traditional feminist, but the epitomy of a postfeminist feminist encompassing political reform, mother, with a working stiff spouse, and being Alaskan, harking back to a frontier woman image.
You bet it was - Obama is a brand new federal Senator. McCain is a Senator for Life. Attacking Obama on his lack of experience on Capitol Hill was a smart plan. Otherwise what was McCain going to attack Obama on - his overuse of the word "change" 3 Million times? Lack of experience was a solid fact. But neither McCain nor Obama have managerial experience. That was McCain's weakness too and he needed to cover his hind quarters on that. McCain's other obvious weakness was also shared with Obama - being a leftie socially. Palin covers McCain in that gaping hole. McCain's other weakness was age. Palin covers that issue. McCain choosing Palin was more to cover his obvious weaknesses so he'd appeal more to the evangelicals who he can't afford to have stay home as well as his desire to appeal to independents and moderate family-oriented Dems and to politically uninformed males and females who will vote on gender for opposite reasons. Palin looks like the girl next door. She and her young family bring youth and energy to the ticket. And more importantly, Americans can and will identify with Palin but not with Michelle Obama. That contrast alone will harm Big O even more. McCain pulls ahead 5 points with Palin. Obama stays where he was before with Biden, no bounce whatsoever.
