McCain just picked a TROPHY VP

[cindyw]

Just liked he picked a trophy wife over his wife who had suffered while he was a way. So here he is again picking the young inexperienced VP as a woman over the more experienced Republican women

1. Looks no substance.

Exactly.

2. This pick may end up hurting any real chance he has.

Wait till she debates Biden!

3. Palin = Female Dan Quayle = Pandering Reach for Young Female Voters

John McCain is so predicatable. Of course, after riding around in a golf cart with Bush, Sr., McCain would pick Sarah Palin, a former Miss Alaska contestant, and the female equivalent of Dan Quayle, to add some youth and eye candy to the ticket ala' Dan (He Looks Like Redford) Quayle. Here are some of old threads comparing Palin to Dan Quayle:

I am thinking that John McCain's recent meetings with George Bush, Sr., are going to lead to a Bush, Sr. like choice for VP, Sarah Palin, a former Miss Alaska contest Miss Congeniality with modest academic credentials, but who has a very strong athletic background. Also, since her husband works for the oil industry, the Texas GOP may give its blessing.

Like Dan Quayle, she is not an academic super star.

Like Dan Quayle, she had success as a high school athlete.

Like Dan Quayle, she is very conservative, pro-gun, and very pro-life.

Like Dan Quayle, she achieved early political success.

Like Dan Quayle, she is a relative unknown nationally.

Like Dan Quayle, she is youthful and good looking.

Like Dan Quayle, she will be added to an elder Presidential ticket in order to add some youth, charisma and visual appeal.

So, I am predicting that John McCain pulls a George Bush, Sr., and picks a female version of Dan Quayle. This may not be a bad idea, since George Bush, Sr. did win his first presidential contest with Quayle as a running mate.

4. good guess

I was still hoping for the battle of the joes

6. As a young male voter, I think he's actually trying to appeal to us

I'll admit that women at my age tend to be sharper than men and less likely to fall for this shit. I think McCain is trying to get young men to vote for him because his running mate is attractive.
