McCain's VP -- Miss Alaska Loser

Before she was named McCain's Vice Presidential nominee today, no one except for the seven people who live in Alaska ever heard of Gov. Sarah Palin -- or that she came in second place at the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant.
Sarah Palin
Palin did win Miss Wasilla and the coveted Miss Congeniality award. So who cares what her
economic plan is?


V.P. Nominee was once Miss Wasilla, Alaska

77. I'm so pleased with his choice!! Now the Democrats will have an easy win. The Republicans insult our intelligence by thinking this, conservative, relligious fanatic and bimbo would win over Hillary's supporters. Just goes to show you the decision making "skills" of Mr. McCain. Obviously his age and probably the early onset symptoms of Alzheimer's has already affected him. Lots of soldiers were decorated heroes and many POW's...that does not qualify them to be President. To think that McCain choice this inexperienced beauty queen to be second in command and actually a heart beat from the Presidency should something happen to old Mr. McCain is really scary. I doubt she has ever traveled much outside of Alaska and my mom has better credentials than she does!

79. 73. GO MCCAIN! Obama is a Muslim freak who plays both sides of the race card every chance he gets. He makes a foot of himself on a daily basis. And he is fugly. I think McCain's choice is amazing!

80. I think this is absolutely brilliant! WONDERFUL choice for VP, Mr. McCain! I've been a McCain supporter since before anyone knew he'd even run for President.

This woman fits perfectly with McCain's ideals -- to think for him/herself rather than down party lines!!!!

BUCK THE SYSTEM, McCAIN/PALIN! Great support for the ENVIRONMENT! INTELLIGENCE! Not the SAME OL POLITICS! They will do what's RIGHT not what lobby groups think they can PAY for!!

81. Thank you #53 (SuzieQ) for a responsible post. Politcs in the USA has become so hateful. I am excited for this year's election. A Black man and a senior citizen running against each other, along with a woman VP pick. This is history in the making. And all I read is insults and accusations and blatant lies about all who are involved. Seriously, just because someone is Prez, it doesn't mean, all their 'promises' are going to happen! It is disgusting to read some on this nonsense, just be intelligent and read up on Obama, McCain, Palin and Biden. They all have pros and cons. Don't make idiotic assumptions and repeat a bunch of lies and innuendo. And DON'T believe anything that NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, FOX, talking heads and etc. That is what will make you ignorant! Dig up info. and use different sources AND keep an open mind, study both sides of the issues. AND why can't people listen to other opinions without insulting people for having their own opinions....ughhhh...only in the USA!! LOL....if people whould post without namecalling and saying hateful, ridiculous opinions, if might be more enjoyable to discuss politics

85. #76 good logic "bimbo" Wow you really state your case well

86. This is so funny, sitting back and watching Obama sink even further under the water. He is nothing but a slimy snake waiting to use his Muslim ties to destroy our nation. His wife looks like Omarosa, which is a good reason in itself not to elect him. She is a skank. I am not worried, though, he is all show. No way America will vote a terrorist into office! I am sick of hearing his "poor me" speech and "I am just like everybody else." WTF???

87. #76 has absolutely NO idea what he is talking about. Read up on her you idiot. She only moved to Alaska later in life. She is NO BIMBO, but married with FIVE kids, one of whom has down syndrome.

I love it when people talk out of their asses. It makes them an ass.

88. OK let me get this straight. Obama picked a VP candidate that has experience and knowledge regarding the most important topics to date. Most would say he did this to combat his nay sayers that he doesn't know enough and would need help on global issues, etc.
McCain picked a candidate that has little experience but so far a strong track record with what she's done. (More on that will come, but let's not just dismiss her because we don't know).

Here's the catch though. Other than her being a woman, what was the point? She didn't seek out this selection. Her accomplishments so far are relatively small and not comparable to moving the mountains in large cities/urban areas/the whole country which is what comes in being a VP. She is a small town girl. There's nothing wrong with that except she's remained small town. Further, if the point to be made here is that the VP is the major contributing decider in matters....why would you pick someone with no real experience to help make a decision. At least when Obama defers to his Biden he will have knowledge/experience on which to base his decisions. I inclined to believe that this is an attempt to gain women voters still angry about Hillary. But if so, then it's a slap in the face. I find it hard to believe that he would value her opinion on something especially if he disagrees. Therefore leading me to believe that she is for show and that pisses me off as a woman. It's just a tad insulting.

89. I think it shows that McCain is listening to, and cares about the opinions of the voters. Did he pick her to attract voters? Sure - probably. She has an 80% approval rating in Alaska - she's viewed as a reformer - she's taken on the big oil companies - she's the smart choice. She's the answer to many of the democrats criticisms of McCain.

McCain's campaign is interesting and evolving - Obama's getting stale. His VP pick was as interesting as watching paint dry.

90. Obama would have cinched the Presidental Nom if he had selected Hillary as his VP.. Dumb move on his behalf. I guess Obama couldn't stand the thought of a VP more popular than himself. McCain did a wise choice. All the Hillary supporters and Fem Activists will travel in his direction.. Obama should've swallowed his chauvinistic pride and brought Hillary on board..Biden as VP may not work out as well as he would have expected.... Go McCain!!!!
