Balta1701 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 So a question for the R voter people. ATH, no answers from you, I want to hear from the already decided McCain voters. You've now had 24 hours to chew on Sarah Palin as a VP pick. Taking all the good and the bad together, how do you feel about your ticket right now? I get the feeling that if I were a Republican I'd be really nervous about that ticket, but I'm really not qualified to give an opinion from the side of someone who thinks McCain's a good candidate.

You probably won't get a good answer from anyone here because no one likes McCain. I haven't had time to read ANYTHING, but I'll give it a shot when I'm more "informed"...

DrunkBomber Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 My take on Palin. Im a huge fan of the pick and I think it is going to go a long way with winning McCain the election. Im not going to debate experience because it can start and stop with Palin and Obama dont have enough for the other parties liking. I think she will get at least 20% of the exiled Hillary supporters which is huge. She will keep the right wing conservatives because of her views of gun laws, gay marriage and abortion. She has union ties which will help a lot in the swing states as well. The main thing I like about her is her attempt to stop corruption. Experience or not, having a political newcomer that is willing to take on the heads of her party in her state based on morality issues is a breath of fresh air. I would love to see what she can do running the senate. I also like that she came through on her campaign promises of lowering her salary and lowering property taxes 60%. She is also for drilling but is anti big oil which is something I think a lot of people should like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I think that McCain picked her because he got EXACTLY the reaction he thought he would get... Press on Friday: McCain picks Palin... Holy crap, she has NO experience (on and on and on and on)... oh wait a minute, we shouldn't be saying THAT! It's actually a VERY smart play, if you think about it. Anyway, more later. I need to get some sleep... took a pain pill 'cause I had a migraine, and now I think I can actually sleep tonight now. I still owe Rex, etc. a looksie at the RSO speech. I said I'd watch it, so I will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_genius Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The Palin pick seems to be a pretty good one. It helps with some of the GOP base, puts a woman on the ticket, adds someone with at least some executive experience, and she has very high approval ratings. Of course, McCain isn't going to pick someone Obama voters will approve of, as nothing besides McCain dropping out of the race could appease them. I think the 'state trooper scandal' will be a big deal to the DailyKos and such, but not the average voter. Speaking of which, it seems the Dems are already launching attacks on the Palin family, really no surprise here. http://townhall.com/blog/g/9b3375c7-6a27-4...04-b267282a1ce1 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/30/12.../137/486/580223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part about the rumor is that one of the main pictures they use for evidence is from 2006, and the baby was born in April of this year. Absolutely outstanding logic. As for Nokona's post in here, well he's shown to be classless in more than a few of his posts, so that's no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
