Brilliant Move or Female Quayle?

Unfortunately for Sarah Palin, that was the nightmare flashback for some Republican mandarins after McCain chose the Alaska governor as his surprise running mate.

Easy one - Female Quayle. Well, ok, maybe not even that good....

This chick is scary. My biggest worry is that republicans are known for electing this type of tripe, especially the evangelical bunch. Imagine her as Pres if McCain falls over. YIKES no telling who would be running the country.. or is that the plan?

Agreed. This is neither brilliant nor Quayle. It's just pathetic.

Congratulations! The Care2 Community has promoted your submission to the Care2 News Network Front Page.

Thanks to Arielle, Brenda and Putin Tain for the comments, and to all who read and noted this post!

The popularity of this story only reinforces why McCain made this choice, to take the spotlight off Senator Obama, and his brilliant speech at the DNC Thursday night...

I've never thought for one moment that this woman deserved the attention, let alone the office of Vice President of the United States. This is the most absurd choice, but it is also a frighteningly desperate pick on part of a very ill-advised John McCain. This incredibly undereducated, insensitve, politically backward woman is an insult to the rights and needs of all voters whose confidence and support McCain is hoping to win. He does want to be

the President of the United States, correct? Or did Senator McCain change his mind about being President. Maybe he hasn't the chops for it, and now needs a graceful way out of this mess he's in. Is he using Palin as a means of letting himself off the political hook? Is this Republican suicide? Choose the most intolerable running mate possible so that only morons will tweak your lever in the voting booth, then pray there are more smart, responsible voters than morons on election day. Is this the ploy? If in fact it is, then bravo, John McCain!



If you are a Republican leaning voter, this choice of running mate for John McCain is an embarrassment and more importantly an insult to your collective intelligence. This woman would be laughable if not for the fact that Alaskan voters put her in office. How bad must the opponent have been in Alaska governor's race, or how ignorant must the voting public have been, that the state's people chose this political nightmare and sometime emotional train wreck for Governor?



John McCain has little time, but a suggestion is in order. Dump Suzie Snowflake, underscore 'flake' and thoughtfully choose a female running mate with muscle, intelligence and political savvy.
