The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin. The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family. In Palin's "Going Rogue," Palin confirms reports of tension between her aides and those of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain.

mccain is an anti-gun, anti-border, pro-abortion, pro-war, pro-bailout, globalist who needed somebody more conservative to garnish votes -- otherwise ALL the conservatives would have stayed home on election day. the only other GOP candidate more liberal than he was, was Romney -- a bleeding heart rank and file Democrat who accidentally registered Republican in Mass and decided to go ahead and run with it.

Yeah well, McCain wanted to corner the women's vote, but he pulled a real 'Bill Buckner' when he choose Sarah though.

GooberK: "think of what it means... he couldn't find anyone anyone on the right that was brighter or more well educated or more well spoken.

is everyone on the right a total non-philosophic dittohead?"
Wouldn't you agree that candidates don't always pick the smartest people in the pool of choices?
as you might have already guessed, palin's selection was not because she was well-spoken. the intent is to garnish the mount of votes to win the white house. So-called "straight-shooting" conservative woman was probably estimated to pull more votes than elequent, well-rounded conservatve men. they figured they would draw from a bigger right-leaning voter pool with a mccain/palin over a mccain/anybody conservative ticket, which might have just drawn the same votes he was going to get, anyway.
that isn't an indication of the problem with conservatism, that is an indication of the problem of the non-preferencial voter system.
did you know the Constitution mandates that the vice-president must be the person with the second most votes cast?
that's right. the current ticket-style winner-takes-all electoral college is not only a complete scam, but it is not Constitutional. The results never indicate actual candidate preference and unwittingly disenfranchise every single voter. Gore stole more votes from Nader, under this system, than Nader could have ever fathomed stealing from Gore. The fact that the system is a scam should have been clear to you after the election fiasco in 2000 that was decided by a single vote in SCOTUS. Yeah, Lieberman was a great pick by the way. That guy turned out to be a great leader of the Democrat Party. By your logic, Gore's pick in 2000 is proof that there is a problem with liberalism. Think of what it means... Gore couldn't find anyone on the left that was even a Democrat.
Tell me, are you a non-philosophic dittohead? -

By the way, here's a video explaining a system that works. It's called Instant Runoff Voting:

Oh, and before I come under attack for advocating a functional system, I want to point out there are several independents, greens, and liberal democrats who support it, including Howard Dean. Not just lowly conservatives.
And on that note, this should serve as a reminder of the liberals failure to nominate Dean in 2004 after the media assassinated him over some squak.
big deal. he screams when he's excited. don't let the media tell you what to think next time.
he would have handily beat Bush in 04. And, if he wasn't speaking empty rhetoric like the current back-stabbing commander in chief (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LsSppYxSHk ), we might have already been out of this (to borrow a line from jon stewart) "Messopatamia," by now. -
