| McCain picks Palin |
This is a desperation play. McCain’s trying to mute his geezer quotient with Palin’s babe vibe. On that, well done, John. With McCain turning 72 today, this is beyond obvious.
However, so much for the “war on terror” being the transcendent issue of our time. The thought of Palin as commander in chief is frightening.
Women voters, especially HRC voters, were pro Hillary because she was very experienced and qualified. Palin’s abuse of power problems is not a plus.
As for Palin, not even Kay Bailey Hutchison knew anything about her when she appeared on CNN today. McCain and his team didn’t even bother to get her a fact sheet on his veep pick. That says it all.
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” said Bill Burton, Obama Campaign Spokesman.
