How can the Palin selection be viewed as anything but cynical and manipulative?
Is America going to buy this bullshit? "Oh, we need the womens vote! Let's get our own Hillary to woo those Dems!" No one has ever heard of Palin, and we're supposed to believe she is the best choice in America to be Commander In Chief when McAlzeimers starts quoting asparagus and declaring war on Yugoslavia? Come on. Week pick, McLame. It shows that you're even more out of touch than we already figured.

Note the wording.

Finally, not every picture on "Google Images" is real. Just sayin'!

3. Hillary's going to destroy her!
Seriously.

I can just hear her disbelieving comments on TV shows and at rallies from now to November.

"A beauty queen with NO experience, who'd shown NO desire to step outside one of the smallest states in the union. And we are supposed to buy her as being tested and ready to assume the mantle of President of the United States should John McCain's health fail him?"

And that's not to mention Joe Biden crushing her into dust in the debate.

:rofl:

20. The media will decide. She will suck up all the media time for the next month.
Her kids, her being Miss Alaska, her being on Vogue Magazine cover...all the cute stories about her kids...one with Down's Syndrome. This country is totally crazy with that kind of stuff.

16. I don't believe that's a real cover, or photo. The February "Governors" Vogue had Kate Bosworth

Note there is no date or price on this "cover"?

It will get him the very few Pumas who were going to vote for you anyway.

13. As inspired a choice as "Let's get a BLACK GUY to run against Obama for Senator!"
So Palin would be the white Alan Keyes?
