Sarah Palin is NO Hillary Clinton! What the hell is McCain thinking? Obama was gonna win it anyway, but McCain's token pick sealed the deal. Sorry, Pubs...your guy just handed the Presidency over to Obama. It's not even a contest anymore.

I think we will look back at today as the day when the Republicans most certainly lost the Presidency. In choosing Sarah Palin of Alaska for Vice President, the Republicans have made a cynical but clever choice. At least they think it is clever. She is a woman, young (44 years old), a Governor (only two years), a mother (five children), pro-life, and pro-gun. But what is she not? She is NOT pro-choice. She has NO national experience. She has never been under the intense scrutiny of a national campaign. She is under investigation for some incident in Alaska that is messy and personal. She has no international experience. Her experience governing is in a very small state, famous for its "Bridge to Nowhere" kind of political graft. Her Republican colleague in that state, Senator Ted Stevens has been indicted for corruption.
... It's also a slap in the face of Democratic women voters. They don't get Hillary but they get Sarah as the first potential woman President? In fact, I can just hear Biden saying, "Sarah Palin, you are NO Hillary Clinton!" I would imagine that the few remaining Clinton supporters who are wondering if they should support John McCain are even more leery now. There is absolutely no overlap between the positions Hillary Clinton has fought her entire life for and Sarah Palin. The two women are not remotely substitutable. They are as different as they can be.
How will this cynicism play with American voters? It is insulting to women to suggest that just "any" woman will do!
McCain did not "hand" away the election. It was a great choice. This forum proves it. Over three pages of Palin's name must say something. No one really cared about Greasy "Washington Insider" Joe for a reason.
It's true, Bily, when Sarah was named, the democrats lost the election. Good that they have a few months to get used to the idea..
Now we have the next 16 years sowed up, 8 for John, 8 for Sarah... We truly have a one party system, thanks to the ignorance of the Democrats...

Over three pages of threads mostly started by McCain supporters...happy that they finally have something even the least bit positive to post about without having to try to defend/promote McCain (which is hard to do).
