This is in the final installment of ABC's interview with Sarah Palin. In it, Palin states what everyone in the Democratic party is thinking, Obama made a big mistake in dis-ing Hillary. Anyone have odds on whether Biden will last the weekend?

--Um... The trigger happy beauty pageant runner up has no idea what "everyone in the Democratic party is thinking." I can't speak for all Democrats but please don't insult my intelligence by declaring this vacuous shrew can read my mind. Thanks. ;-( -

Actually, Hillary should have been their Democrap nominee, not Osama....

Hillary should have been the one to run for president and Obama her sidekick VP...
They might have won if they would have been smarter in nominating their pick for presidential candidate...
No legistlative/executive experience, no foreign experience, really only known for his speech he did back in '02.....Great speaker, no doubt.....I'm not arguing that point....
But president ? Not likely....

Wow... You sound awfully confident about your predictions. It's like it's '06 all over again. How well did your predictions work out that year, FSU? Just curious as to why cons are so confident when they were bragging and boasting all of '06--right before the GOP IMPLODED. ;-(

After Hillary's "white working class" line she should have known better than to make, her statement that "corporations are people, too" (when those corporations are bleeding the U.S. treasury dry and using loopholes to escape prosecution,) her voting FOR the Iraq "war" that profited international arms dealers that sell to both sides, and her husband's baggage, why would Obama want HER?

IT'S ONLY NEOCON REPUBLICANS THAT KEEP SAYING THAT THE WOMAN THEY HATED FOR TWO DECADES AND CALLED "SHRILLARY" and much worse, 24 hours a day, "should" have been president.
Why? Because SHE PROBABLY WOULDN'T PROSECUTE THOSE THAT BIDEN WILL PROSECUTE.
Why else? Because Fox"News" and CNN have computers full of slanders and compromises they could smear her with.
No. The Democrats needed someone new.
Republicans DON'T GET TO CHOOSE WHO RUNS ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Cons don't realize most people know they're FOS and that their whole platform is based on lies, spin, flipflopping and deception. Flipflopping's bad one year. Another year it's ok. They hated McCain for 10 years because their god Bush told them he was an unstable liberal. When the sane people in the GOP realized that America was trending left, they chose McCain (to cons' shock and deep embarrassment). So cons are pretended they didn't know McCain is losing it. McCain picks a hypocritical con trollop thinking that left leaning women will be so disappointed in Obama that they'll forget what Republicans have done to destroy our country (and what a McSausage administration would mean for American women) that they'll vote against their own interests. Cons? No one wants more of the mind-boggling horror and insanity we've experienced the last 8 years. Get serious. ;-P

ERRRRR wrong again. Repubs say that Hillary should have been the dems pick.
Reasons include she would actually know what a President does.
Most importantly, from the VRWC, wanted to beat her in a national election.
It really ticked off the VRWC when the dems denied the VRWC the opportunity to defeat her in an election.-

He may be regretting it. There are many reasons for picking a particular VP to run with one. I guess I tend to believe that the best is the most "realpolitik" - to deliver the votes of a certain demographic or voting entity.
Reply
Seems to me that if one chooses a VP for the strengths that he/she can bring to the ticket, it raises the question why the VP wasn't the nominee to begin with.

Right on the mark. Hillary may have gotten through the primary, but the General Election would have toasted her for sure with Bill's baggage. There is no way she could have escaped that. Unfortunately, Obama is running too nice a campaign. I think a lot of Dems need to see him get damn defensive. His nice defensive responses are darn near inaudible.

And, you don't pick someone who boasts that Hillary would make a great president, and probably make a better VP choice than himself.

“Make no mistake about this, “Biden Responded. “Hillary Clinton is a qualifed or more qualifed than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualifed to be president of the United States of America, shes’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of American, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But shes’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight.”
Spokesman Ben Porritt offered this response from the McCain camp: “Barack Obama’s most important decision of this election, and Biden –the candidate he selects – suggests, himself, that he wasn’t the right man for the job, and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice. -

Actually, I agree!!! In there rush to annoint/select Obama the Dems made a huge mistake! I believe Hillary would have made this race a breeze for a Dem victory. Without Hillary the race will be a lot closer than it had to be.

I think Biden was one of the best decision that Obama has made. However Hillary would have helped me more in the polls. What head scratching is how Obama got the nomination without really winning ANY of the debates. To his credit he did better as time went on. I thought after the first debate, he was done as a candidate.

If you do care about this country you need to swallow your pride and take your lumps on this one! The GOP ticket cannot be allowed to governed us into a worse position than we are in now! r comment here.

I think Obama made the correct choice with Biden and time will prove that out at the debates...and when they are president the GOP will call Sarah the pretender that she is. There is no way the American people will shoot themselves in the foot 3 times in a row!
So keep barking GOPers remember empty drums make the mose noise.

I think the worst decision would have been to pick Hillary Clinton. Hillary wanted to be President, not a VP. I think Joe Biden has tons of charisma in speaking to the public and a person of action.

I am personally ashamed of any Democrat who would simply jump ship on the Obama ticket to vote for Sarah Palin. I thought we had more common sense and went for the issues that mattered to us, that our candidate represented. I was hoping we were more open minded than that, but I guess I could be very wrong.
Sarah Palin is surely no expert on who anyone should pick as their running mate. Running a wealthy state is not exactly the hardest job on the planet. -

I can't see women doing that, The abortion thing would keep most regardless, plus she's a VP candidate. I can't see male voters jumping ship either. sounds crazy.
I can't explain the apparent bump in the polls Palin seems to have provided, but Hillary and Palin are so different. Just can't see it
I guess maybe all the non-issues and smears may be taking their toll. be my guess -

--I actually can't believe anyone seriously thinks Democrats (women, in particular) would vote for Palin out of spite. We all know what a nightmare a McCain administration would be but it would be particularly nightmarish for women.

Actually, I agree!!! The Dems shot themselves in the foot by selecting/annointing Obama. Hillary deserved and should have received the nomination and without her on the ticket, the race is going to be a lot closer than it should have been. If McShame wins, the Dems have no one but themselves to blame.
