Sarah Palin, McCain's VP pick?

NBC News is confirming that Sarah Palin is the VP pick for the GOP.

Can't wait for the Palin vs. Biden debate.

VPILF?

Nice.  :lol:

VPILF?

No.

How pissed is Hillary right now?

[rowjimmy]

I think it's a pussy move.

A friend and coworker (and woman) noted that she's a bit insulted by the obvious pandering.

[antelope19]

So you're saying you don't think she's qualified for the job?

EDIT:  Personally, I don't know enough about her to make a decision one way or another.  I'll need to do some research.

A quick look over her wikipedia article...she looks like a clever pick.  The pandering aspect is obnoxious, but she seems to be the 'maverick' her buddy McBush pretends to be... high approval rating in Alaska also

No idea if she's qualified.

It would have been far smarter to find woman from a state with some actual electoral votes...

agreed.

she's known as a maverick
has no national experience so one questions her qualifications to be commander in chief

I suspect she is very bright, talented etc, but to me this is McCain obviously going after the "disaffected" Hillary supporter. Unfortunately, despite Hillary's speech, I suspect there are a lot of women who are pissed off and won't vote for Obama just to get back at the Dems, or because they take the whole thing as a personal affront.

Any woman who votes for McCain is a moron.  Enjoy your ultra-conservative Supreme Court!

SER.
Cheated on the woman who waited for his ass while he was in a POW camp?
Really?
This is the kind of person we're supposed to respect?

And the defense of "that was 30 years ago" only flies if we can say it about his military service too.

McCain speaking less than 12 hours after Obama's speech is just embarrassing... guy just seems Old and In The Way as he looks down at his notes and gives these corny pandering smiles...
