Thread Name: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
Subject: RE: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
Choosing a woman...Smart! Choosing a woman with no national or foreign policy skills, some experience as a suburban mayor, and an anti-abortion pro-NRA stance as well? A very odd choice.
Her conservative stances may woo some right wingers in the Republican Party, but not like Romney would have. And trying to appeal to the sort of anti-sexist bra-burners on Hillary's left edge who would throw votes to McCain out of spite, with this conservative woman? Ann Coulter would have been just as good.

I am thankful for the choice. If you think McC will look like a bumbler in the debates with Obama, how is this woman going to deal with Biden?

This smells like a deal reached by McCain alone and based upon the quandary "how can I rein in the conservatives and retain the unhappy Hillary women? RIGHT! A conservative woman!"
But she's unqualified.
"So what? So is Obama!"
Right.
