I think McCain just threw away the election.

Who remembers 'Good Idea / Bad Idea'?

Good Idea: accuse Obama of lacking proper experience
Bad Idea: pick a vp that's worse off in that regard

Good Idea: try to cash in on some Hillary Supporters
Bad Idea: use a woman who is specifically pro-life.

Good Idea: try to get the outdoors men by picking an NRA member who is pro gun rights.
Bad Idea: piss off half the outdoors men by picking a VP who is for drilling in protected areas.

The list probably goes on and on...

Hmm I originally said this is a good stab at hilldog supporters, but I just read about the pro life...

Still, the fact that they HAVE a female will probably swing some, but not enough to do anything.

I think the experience thing isn't exactly a major thing. He could probably just say, 'well yeah, I'd be the big dog and I have the experience'

Let me add that she had a baby in her 40s, which has Down Syndrome. If you are going to be pro-life you shouldn't have babies when it's high risk...

She also said 'nuculer' lololol

He's much more likely to die from natural causes than Obama (although not from assassination I'd bet).

Edit: because he's old lol

There are strong, active groups of women who are also pro-life.

Personally, I think she has sex scandal written all over her. We're going to see something hot dirty by the time this is over.

that is just so sad that the VP was chosen not based on her credentials but for her gender. Hillary supporters are all going to rush to mccain.

Eh, I'd rather have her remain Governor. She has been extremely productive here. Not sure how much she will accomplish as VP though.

I don't think she was chosen just on a gender basis. She has been fighting corrupt government here in Alaska. Whatever news channel my dad was listening to said she did more in her 2 years as governor than Obama did in his 4 years as Senator.

Apples to oranges. She is likely responsible for more things in 2 years as governor than McCain or Biden or anyone was in 10 years as a Senator.

"President" of your state vs. 1/100 in Senate.

It's probably something worse than Fox since you refuse to say, so until you prove otherwise I'm going on the assumption it was Fox.

BTW don't abuse post count in my blog ._.

By refusing to tell us which new network it is, you lose all right to complain about it.

no, only a few people care to attack you like that and tell you that you dont have a right to complain, and they're usually dealt with. but the triple post was a little over the top.

She has only been a governor for 2 years but before that she was a Mayor of a small town (population of around 5,000 people) for a while. I guess I'd say a little less experience.

If you consider being the governor of a state in the middle of nowhere with a small population for two years more experience, then yeah.

It was a joke obviously. I wasn't seriously accusing him of watching Fox or anything. A 1 post derailment is more than acceptable in my blog. There were another 1-2 people adding to it, and then that was it. However, the person in question was intentionally keeping it a secret while being rude about it. I think that is where the blame lays.

Gotta love how Fox News and now Cindy McCain are both citing the geographical location of Alaska to Russia as foreign policy experience. McCain just undercut the single strongest argument he had against Obama by picking someone with nearly identical experience time wise.
