If you want to bring scientists into this, then I would like to narrow the issue down to specifically the theory of evolution by natural selection. If you show me a "prominent" scientist that doesn't subscribe to this then I'll show you a scientist that, at best, is fooling themselves or at worst, intellectually dishonest. |

Eh, kinda in her defense...the actual "job" of the VP is pretty shiity. Before Cheney got in there and set up his own shadow government, the VP basically just sat around waiting for the President to die an untimely death. The list of actual responsibilities for the VP in the constitution is laughably small.
but yeah Palin is a reckless pick, regardless. I think the video or audio a couple weeks ago of her where she doesn't really pay attention or know what the actual plan is in Iraq is more damning. Seriously, I'm confident that I know more about foreign affairs than Sarah Palin, and she is going to be a heartbeat away from the president if elected? holy shit.

If this doesn't blow up in McCain's face I am seriously moving out of this country, I am tired of living in a nation hijacked by bullshit.

Blah blah blah, McCain could croak, yada yada... he's a healthy guy. Even if that did happen, it'd be a few years, long enough for her to get some OJT. VP is the ultimate in Presidential OJT. As far as debate, when Biden brags about his years in the Senate and his foreign policy cred, Palin can turn it against him by pointing the Republicans have the foreign policy experience where it really counts... at the top of the ticket. |

As long as Biden remains composed, graceful, and respectful, I do not see this woman besting him.

I don't even think the pissed off Hillary protestors were able to manage more than fifty or so people at the convention. Also to those of you who keep on talking about how the VP role isn't as important and blah blah. WE KNOW. But it is the fact that McCain always hammered the talking point that he is more experienced, and will bring even more experience with the people he surrounds himself with. He then ripped on Obama for having none. He now picked someone who has less experience than Obama (she considers PTA part of her 13 years of elected office). He completely contradicted his message -- yet AGAIN -- and in the worst way. This will backfire. Rabid Hillary fans on the Internet with nothing else better to do are in their own little world. Hillary supporters ready to vote for Obama continue to increase. |

I could be wrong, but I don't really remember Al Gore or Dick Cheney doing much foreign dignitary work....there's already a position specifically for that: it's called Secretary of State. Look. The number one job of VP is simply to takeover in case the president dies. That's it. Doesn't McCain tout that he's ready to lead on day one? You just conceded that Sarah Palin isn't ready. And then Biden can point to the foreign policy of the last eight years. |

If I were a woman I would be offended at this move. I mean, fuck, I'm not a woman and I'm still offended that McCain would try to play the demographics like this.

It wasn't clear since no one responded, but the spirit of my posts was in her defense. NOBODY knows what the VP does on a daily basis. Only one person mocked it here, but on other boards and news blogs people got a good chuckle out of that soundbite until it was pointed out that none of them had any fucking clue, either.

Taxing big corporations: Yeah, that'll get companies to stay in the US. Taxing oil companies: That'll make the price of gas go down. Etc. etc... I pretty much don't agree with him on anything. Except that we need to start looking at alternative energy. But I think we can do that without sending gas prices through the roof. |

The rest of those are invalid/misinformed (i.e., he's not doing those things for the reason you imply he is). Gas prices will surely be going up no matter what. And certainly McCain's proposal will not bring gas prices down, as all experts say, even ones in the bush admin. |

Man the dems are fucked. I don't think they have an answer for the massive number of housewives in bumfuck Ohio and Florida who are going to vote McCain just because he has a skirt on the ticket regardless of her evolution/abortion stances. BRILLIANT tactical move.
