McCain’s Gimmick of Choice: Sarah Palin
By Chuck | August 29, 2008
In an attempt to pull fence sitting Clinton supporters, Christian extremists and the three electoral votes from Alaska to his side McCain has announced that Sarah Palin (Gov. Alaska) is his pick for VP. I wonder if she knows how many houses she owns?
Well, this should kill McCain’s experience based attacks on Obama. She has been Governor for less than two years and before that a stint as the part-time mayor of a village of 6,000. Her education consists of a bachelor’s degree in journalism with a minor in polisci. Oh, and former Ms. Alaska runner up! McCain is trying to tell me that she is ready to lead this county when he shuffles off to the underground old folks home but Obama isn’t?
From her extraordinarily short record all I can tell about her is that she is anti-choice (member of the anti-choice group called Feminists for Life.), anti-gay rights and all for drilling in ANWR.
Remember when McCain was shitting his bed over Obama only visiting Iraq once? Well, Palin has never been there. Not once. Good work on undermining your own attacks.
I really would like to see how this effects the polls in Alaska, a normally red state that is currently in the toss-up column with Obama leading by 3 points according to Pollster.com.
Did I mention she is currently under ethics investigation for abuse of power? Alaska seems to be a hotbed of this sort of shit.
With McCain answering every attack on him with his “Noun, verb, P.O.W.” bullshit I would like to see her follow suit and reply with “Noun, verb, beauty queen” because, lets be honest, they really both have the same weight when judging the ability to lead the country.
Stealth edit:
Larry Kudlow of CNBC’s “Kudlow & Co.” asked her about the possibility of becoming McCain ticket mate.
Palin replied: “[A]s for that V.P. talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the V.P. does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that V.P .slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question.”

this amazing choice has camp obama so scared all they can do is mock small-town america (AGAIN!) and point to governor palin’s inexperience, even though she has MORE Governing, and actual DOING, experience than Barack. Obama’s pitiful attempt to bring experience to his ticket with Biden as now back-fired as the INexperience of the Dems is on the top of the ticket, and not as a back-up.

I wouldn’t consider it scared as much as I would consider it amused. McCain just erased what was his biggest attack.
I also wouldn’t consider it as mocking small town America, I see it more as mocking a moron.

mccain has SOOO much SOLID experience, he doesn’t need an ageing 3-time loser of presidential candidate on his ticket…..unlike the annointed empty suit.

I wouldn’t call his experience solid. Sure, he has experience, but is experience in being wrong.
Spoke out against the new G.I. bill. Then didn’t show for the vote.
Voted against Martin Luther King day.
Flipped on the Bush tax-cuts.
Voted against establishing a Congressional commission to examine the Federal, State, and local responses to Katrina.
Voted against allowing up to 52 weeks of unemployment benefits to people affected by Katrina.
Voted against appropriating $109 billion in supplemental emergency funding, including $28 billion for hurricane relief.
Maverick my ass.
