McCain Palin

[cindy25]

just looked at Drudge, and PALIN has been capitalized all morning.
now its no Romney, no Pawlenty.

a McCain Palin ticket is brilliant and dangerous.

2 warmongers with a nearly sure win.

if you have children 10-18 better start calling the Canadian, Irish or NZ consulates

Damned McCain does have a way of growing a brain when he absolutely has to. I wonder if this will do as much as he hopes to sway disaffected Clinton people? Will large numbers of women vote for such a pair of hawks?

 

[cindy25]

of course they will.

especially the old Hillary supporters. they will say that nice young lady with the son in uniform, and be all ga-ga.

Mcain didn't grow a brain, he just called one (Rove)

McCain wanted Lieberman, but he wanted the white house more.

Obama threw away his chance picking Biden. all because of his damn pride.
had Obama picked Hillary it would have forced McCain to pick Pawlenty or Romney.

and don't forget the fake Georgia crisis. I wouldn't want to play chess with Rove. Master of the game.

 

[Ron Paul Vermont]

Yut. CNN just confirmed it. I guess McSain must have noticed after all how well the Paulite did in Minnesota after all. 16% one of his better showings...

Over 80% of Americans are anti war. This will insure an Obama win.

They're saying that she's in Alaska, and the rally starts in 3.5 hours. The Concorde has been grounded.

Palin doesn't appear to have any recorded stance regarding the "war on terror". Closest I can find is from her old Governor's campaign website, with nothing but fluff.


"ALASKA'S MILITARY - Thank you military personnel! I support you. I respect our military personnel and understand the importance of Alaska's National Guard. As I watched our military men and women being deployed I recognized how important it is for their families to know how much Alaska and America support them. I believe in “promoting from within” to provide continued good leadership that truly understands Alaska and will partner with our elected leaders to support our troops."

 

[cindy25]

and McCain got the anti-war vote in NH.

the average person is stupid. if 80% were really anti-war then Ron would be running against Dennis.

Palin's son is an army private. antiwar people don't let there sons join the army

 

[werdd]

I remember months ago we were discussing palin being Ron's VP. She leans libertarian, and if she holds on to those values we have won a small victory.

Still voting for bob barr though ;X

I used to think that as well, until I realized that Obama always votes to fund military actions for the war and has also made quite a few hawkish remarks in regards to foreign policy.

I'm also not convinced about the validity of where the 80% anti-war number comes from or how it is quantified because while most people will say things like they prefer peace to war, an alarmingly high number of those people are easily swayed into supporting meaningless conflicts (i.e.- the war on terror, Iraq, Iran, etc.)

I would be willing to wager it's not her...after McCain running commercials "...but is he ready to lead" and McCain's health an issue, it's suicide.

 

[angelatc]

UGH ! I looked at the list! Tom Ridge? Ugh!

But the Obama supprters don't believe that.

There is a charter enroute from Anchorage, Alaska to Rickenbacker Intl airport about 1.5 hours from Dayton proper. The charter gets to Rickenbacker at 12:38.

Seems a little late to be arriving for an event that is taking place at high noon though.

I like Palin. I will be sad if she sullies her name by affiliating herself with McCain, whom I will absolutely not vote for.

No, most women are not that stupid.

It's an obvious ploy to attract women to vote for him, a la a Tool. Being used is not something I would be proud of...

She's strongly pro-life.

Many of Hillary's disenchanted voters were actually blue collar men. This will not help them vote for McCain....

 

[Kade]

It is Palin.


What a crappy choice.

Nothing screams desperate like choosing a war hawk First term governor with a year of experience in hopes of stealing young and women voters.

What a joke of a ticket. Seriously... Women... you are being used.

Everything I've read makes Palin out to be one of the most libertarian governers in the country. How is she a "war hawk"? Just because she has a kid in the military? You'd think that'd make her less likely to support unnecessary wars. She can't be worse than Biden on that issue, anyway.
