I wasn't easy, but McCain managed to find a VP pick who is even less qualified to be President than Obama.

Actually, I'm betting that we will have an assassination no matter who becomes President. We're wading into the last days of the great empire of the United States... you all do realize this, right? It may still take a few decades to play out, but I'm pretty sure this country is dying. Unless we get it together and figure out that there are NOT 2 types of people in this country, and that being a hard-right Conservative or a hard-left Liberal is actually a flaw, not something to be proud of, this country will eventually become a warzone again. It will tear itself apart.

And the poor majority of this country (the Moderates; the so-called 'swing vote') will be left in the middle, as always, pissed at the rest for destroying their country with their polarized idiocy.

EDIT to add: This whole election cycle is a joke. It's a circus. It's not even serious anymore. It's like a bad sitcom that airs on every channel and just won't be canceled, playing on a TV you can't turn off. I hate it.

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it. Just the first one to state it here!

I agree though, this is just making the whole election more of a joke than before. We've got a black man, a white woman and a war veteran running for President! The woman was defeated, so now we'll pick another for the VP seat! Wheeeee!

"And if she gets whooped up on in the debates? Who cares? It's the vice presidency-- nobody votes for a ticket strictly on that basis."

The only reason the dems didn't try to impeach Bush is they would have been stuck with Cheney!!

Biden is going to eat her alive. McCain sent a mouse to attack a rattlesnake.




She's ******* do you think Biden will bother with the lube?



As far as any concern about Biden looking like a big-meanie-head:

Doesn't matter, Biden was perfectly content spending the rest of his days as the Chairman of U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. He has excommunicated the presidential bug and doesn't much care if he gets a little mud on him.


He is the perfect attack dog, he's also a blue-collar democrat so making him look like a brute will only bolster his appearance among blue-collar democrats IMO.

Hmm. Looks like the McCain/Palin campaign has sewn up a portion of the female vote. How much, is impossible to know.

Regardless, it will be racism versus sexism at the polls in '08.

If you can't get rid of either one, might as well pit them against each other.

There's also an ugly rumor floating around that the 5th child is actually her 16 year old daughter's kid and she covered it up by pretending to be pregnant last year while the 16 year old was "recovering from prolonged mono."

I doubt there's any truth to it, any more than ZOMG HUSSEIN OBAMA IS A MUSLIM, since by age 44-45 a woman has a 30% chance of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome like the 5th one has . . . but still.

I think I mentioned it before, but my mother admitted that they probably would have aborted me if I had had trisomy 21 (my mother was almost 40 which is like a 25% chance or so.) I respect Paulin's decision to care for a special needs child while being a first term governor, and I'd like to ask that she respect my decision to not ever have to take care of any child. Fair is fair. Unfortunately, Paulin is so anti-choice that I've already got an "omfg nooooo" email from NARAL.

Yeah, it'd be vanishingly rare for a teenager to have a Down's syndrome baby.

There's enough material on which to attack Palin without dragging her brood into it, unless they have criminal records or go to rehab or something.

Seems this guy doesn't have one good thing to say about Palin, even less about Mr Palin.

If any thing proves McShame has demenia, I think having pick this right wing nut job, with tits.

Seems we are going to have a lot of fun with the rumor mill in Alaska.

Has McCain not been keeping up on his Alaska news? Does he not know about all of Palin's shenanigans? And there's so many, one of which people seem completely oblivious to. That baby. This makes me particularly sick. It seems so obvious to me that Palin's child is actually not her child, but her teenage daughter's child. Why did Palin NEVER look pregnant? Why did she announce she was pregnant at 7 months? Why, now that Sarah has given birth, is Bristol's belly much smaller? Claiming someone else's child as your own, for whatever reason, IS SICK. And I'm not even going to get into the recent investigation involving her ethics. Maybe McCain is just having a senior moment.


Darn Beat again by fact that i'm the slowest writer east of the Pecos. Cat don't make me regret rating you up today.

Not only has she lied about having the baby, but she pulled a Biden and stole the idea from Desperate Housewives.

The pun potential here is truly epic! almost as good as bush, which is what I base my entire voting strategy around.

This is a really bad pick. It's already being reported as a move to secure women voters, but come on. She supports oil drilling in Alaskan wilderness preserves. Even McCain doesn't support that. She thinks polar bears shouldn't be on the endangered species list. They're "not ready yet". When are they ready?

The only thing - the only thing - she has going for her is the pro-life vote. That, and she looks good (but Tina Fey looks better).

She's like some ludicrously conservative Republican milf! She doesn't look professional at all! They should have gotten Rice.

McCain already had that.

Worse yet, she's the stripe of anti-abortionist who doesn't believe in rape/incest exemptions. Those kinds of draconian views drive away moderates who aren't comfortable with abortion but are less comfortable with teling rape and incest victims "Too bad for you".

I don't think of Incest as "victims". Incest isn't rape, I don't know why people keep treating it like it is. Incest can be a choice between two consenting adults. Rape is rape, regardless of who is involved or what relationship they had with each other prior to the rape...

While each of you are laughing yourselves sick or backslapping each other so hard as to knock each other's fillings out of your mouths, Slate magazine's female writers are quite impressed with McCain's choice. Perhaps they are seeing something each of you are missing? To wit:

It Had To Be You
Dahlia Lithwick

Absolutely agree that this was an inspired, brave and buzz-y choice for veep. Everything the Joe Biden pick was not. I think Team McCain has gamed this age we live in better than the Obama camp, for which they deserve serious credit. Now this is gonna be an election. And here I was getting ready to retire my girl-cleats for the rest of the fall. I couldn’t be more excited.

One quick thought on the “inexperience” charges against Sarah Palin. I have no problem at all with a candidate who is slightly less tested than some of the white male contenders she beat out. For one thing, I am not sure what "experience" even means when it comes to the vice presidency. For another, one of the single best decisions Ronald Reagan made was the nomination of an unknown and (relatively) inexperienced woman to the Supreme Court, just because she was a woman and it was high time. I can’t imagine what this country would look like for women today if he hadn’t.


Look what it did to this point. It stopped any water cooler talk of Obama's coronation cold this morning. McCain announced it early on Friday, at the end of the news cycle and on a long weekend so that that is what people interested in politics will discuss. And finally, it sets up the Republican convention with a sense of excitement and eagerness to find out more about this woman.

She's precisely what the McCain camp wanted-- the anti-Joe Biden pick, ie someone safe, boring, and predictably Establishment, and the very antithesis of the mantra "change." As Smash said, Plagerizin' Joe is the reason for Democrats to go fishing until February.

Her nomination is absolutely risky. But it is also absolutely an unbeliveable game changer in that it turns the Obama strategy on it's head by showing McCain is the candidate of change by understanding that playing not to lose is not anywhere near the same as playing to win.

I've already said nobody makes a decision who to vote for based on the Veep nominee, but in this case that conventional wisdom as close to being wrong as it possibly could be without knowing beforehand who is going to be President this fall. She cements the conservative base to McCain, she woos the Evangelical Right, and she takes a swing at the disaffected and disenfranchised Hillary supporter. Does she bring any over to McCain? Maybe, maybe not. But she gives them a viable alternative to the same old/same old in Joe Biden.

Quite frankly, I'm excited about this. I had hoped for Kay Bailey Hutchinson, but expected Romney. Instead we have a new player on the board, one who I hope can rise up to the challenge of national politics.

One thing is certain: This political season is genuinely worth watching now.
