The Mondale-Ferraro ticket of the 21st Century. He's going down (she probably is too) and this way the party can blame the inexperienced woman for the loss, and not have to run a woman again for 40 years because they've "proved" they don't hate women in high office.

It is pretty clear that Palin is either incredibly incompetent or just corrupt. Useful links in these articles.

Some things you didn't know about Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin left the finances of her town Wasilla in tatters when she moved on in 2002 (h/t xgz). She wanted a legacy as mayor, it seems, and pushed hard for the town to build a hyper-expensive sports complex. But Palin screwed the process up badly. Instead of buying the land for the complex when it was offered, her administration allowed a developer named Gary Lundgren to snap it up. Then Wasilla tried to seize the land from Lundgren through eminent domain. In the end, what with court costs Wasilla paid at least $ 1.7 million for land it could have bought for less than one tenth that sum - if the purchase had been handled properly. For this incompetence, Wasilla is still paying a steep price: higher taxes and cutbacks in services. In other words Palin is about as efficient as Michael Brown, onetime head of FEMA.
Diarist loyalson, a resident of Wasilla, has more to say about the damage Palin did to his town while she was mayor.

Hold on DoseASpinoza… after learning who John McCain VP pick was, I started my own research. Knowing nothing about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (like most of us), I've come to find article after article similar to this… I can see why folks feel comfortable with her.
Reply
Everyone deserves a chance… she certainly has what it takes… the interest, self confidence and she is aggressive, she’s clear about her positions her beliefs. If she felt she couldn’t do it, she won’t have accepted. Think about that… would you take on such a feat? It’s a huge step. Let's see what happens.
At anyrate, all this babble about “no experience” tells us nothing about her intelligence.
Sometimes we get hooked on key words (used repeatedly through the media, internet) and we begin to follow the piper. By right… she deserves the chance… couple that with more time and we will learn what we need to know.-

Interest, self confidence and aggression. What an odd combination to describe having "what it takes" to be a step away from the Presidency of the United States. -

I guess I'm still wondering why she was chosen VP over all those other guys who ran for President and who have way more experience than she does and if she is a better choice than they are, why is her name just coming up now? This is just so calculating and such obvious pandering. But the GOP is famous for tokenism by now so I guess I'm not entirely surprised. Then again, I guess they knew better than to try to kill two birds with one stone by drafting Condi (who never stood a chance since she's been an abysmal failure as Sec of State) or even one by drafting Powell (since he's still thoroughly disgusted by his party's criminality and lies to be associated with them).

Well at least when McCain kicks it from a heart attack, Palin can go fishing as we're heading to war once again. It'll be just like the Bush years, only with fishing instead of golf.

McCain's mother goes out on the campaign trail with him. That should remove doubts about his age.
And Palin is not Bush. Bush is aloof; Palin went after the corrupt big wigs of her own Party. They are night and day, darkness and light. She is the rebirth of the GOP. Praise God Almighty!

There will be a series of swimsuit and evening gown shows instead of town hall meetings and debates. That will be a big boost for the old man!

"I think the Dan Quayle comparison will probably wind up being the most appropriate, once all is said and done."
Reply
Quayle had three times the experience that Obama has. And despite what the hit pieces online might say, Palin has MORE experience than Obama, it is executive, AND she has real world experience to boot. Her husband is a commercial fisherman and his "connection" to Big Oil is as a BLUE COLLAR WORKER on the North Slope.

I personally like number 3

3) Sarah Palin could also draw in some of the Hillary Clinton supporters who felt incredibly snubbed and disrespected by Barack Obama.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are you kidding me. The ONLY Hillary supporters that will be 'drawn' to this idiot are the even more STUPID P.U.M.A.'s that thick she is a 'moderate'. EXCUSE ME?
There NOTHING moderate about this woman. She is so far to the right she has to use a turn signal EVERY TIME she moves.
She believe abortion should be illegal in ALL cases (including rape, incest and the health of the Mother), she is a life long member of the NRA and sees NOTHING wrong with ANY weapons (MANY of which are currently illegal), thinks that Polar Bear should NOT be on the list for protected animals, and believes creationism should be taught in school to those unfortunate souls who are having to suffer with a public Education and AREN'T being home schooled.
This is a bigger screw ball then Ross Perot and Ralph Nader COMBINED.
But put this day on your calendar. For John McCain's 72 birthday he gave America a gift when he handed the 2008 Presidential Election over to Barack Obama and Joe Biden! -

anyone who thinks hillary supporters are going to flock to palin just because both of them are women is serioulsy delusional. you'd have to be stupid to assume all women think alike.
Reply
but then again, after hearing mccain's famous rape joke, I can see how mccain would conclude something so stupid and narrow minded about a group that makes up over half of the world's population.-

Palin thinks women will flock to her because she's a woman. She even mentioned Hillary & the cracks in the 'glass ceiling.' She's a superficial woman, who thinks because she has the same parts, other women will gush over her. Bizarre. It's the only word I can come up with to describe this joke. it's bizarre!

"someone who has never been exposed to the diversity of this country."
Reply
Uh, you mean the union member whose husband is a minority blue collar worker on the North Slope? Her personal experience shows more exposure to the "diversity" of this nation than Obama by far.
And you guys see to keep forgetting one key issue. The guy who got Obama his sweetheart house deal, personal friend Tony Rezko, is being sentences a week before the election for swiping money that was funneled to him via legislation pushed by Barack Obama. It will be like Cap Weinberger and George H.W. Bush in 1992.

Palin has more experience than Obama, reinforces the "Maverick Reformer" image of McCain, shows a clean break from the Bush/Cheney machine.
Reply
As expected, the misogyny of the Obama cabal is showing through again. First they backstabbed Hillary, who is CLEARLY far more qualified than Obama, and now they attack as inexperienced someone who, unlike Obama OR Biden, has actually commanded troops and has executive experience. Whatever.-

Pretty desperate when you have to claim a proven failure both as mayor of wasilla and governor of alaska has "more experience"!

Time to remember yet again that the chant about McCain's "national security experience" is no more than a propaganda mantra.
Gen. Clark: McCain Is "Untested And Untried" On National Security
... "I know he's trying to get traction by seeking to play to what he thinks is his strong suit of national security," Clark said of McCain while speaking from his office in Little Rock, Arkansas. "The truth is that, in national security terms, he's largely untested and untried. He's never been responsible for policy formulation. He's never had leadership in a crisis, or in anything larger than his own element on an aircraft carrier or [in managing] his own congressional staff....

Game changing moment, to pick one of the most inexperienced women in politics for the 2nd most powerful position in the free world? I am all for shattering that glass ceiling but how about doing it with Elizabeth Dole, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, or Kay Hutchison who have a lot more experience than being a near neighbor to Russia. Well, maybe with her inexperience John McCain thinks he can pay her less than any other vice president before her!

If she has HER way contraception and condoms would NOT be available even to MARRIED couples.
You know, it doesn't take a BRAIN SURGEON to figure out.....the BEST way to reduce abortions is to REDUCE unwanted pregnancies.....duh!
If you REALLY think that people are going to STOP having sex if they don't want to get pregnant you're fu**ing NUTS!

IF what you are saying is true then the fact that Medical Marijuana is LEGAL in California would mean that FEDERAL officials would have NO jurisdiction.
In fact the DEA routinely raid homes, stores and citizens for Marijuana offenses.
