Ok so if McCain’s biggest concern about Barack Obama is his lack of experience, he needs to slowly start biting his tongue about that, since his pick of Sarah Palin completely takes that off the table. If McCain becomes president and for some reason drops dead, this woman will have to take the position of president, and has no more experience than Barack Obama. This is some appalling HYPOCRISY, for a campaign.
To everyone else out there who also thinks experience matters, lets see what they’ll have to say now. To me personally, Palin could be a good VP and President, regardless of her “inexperience”. I just don’t think picking Sarah Palin is going to help John McCain as much as he thinks it will. He’s created the buzz for now, but believe me, within the next few days people (including stench feminists) will sit back and actually examine this choice.
The bottom line is McCain has chosen her SOLELY because she’s a woman, which can be argued as a very sexist move, but of course it’s for a good thing, a VP nomination, but is still SOLELY based on her sex. A very big kiss-assy move. Will Hillary’s women supporters fall for this? I don’t think so. So if Hillary was on the ticket would he pick an African American to match his opposition? Hmm, he just might. Right now I think McCain is a politician, and in no way a president.
Let’s go back a bit here. So what you’re telling me is if anything happens to McCain as president, Sarah Palin would be the person to step into the Oval Office? I think that’s a bit against his argument so far.
Does John McCain have advisers at all? I think this is a complete giveaway to the Obama-Biden ticket. Sarah Palin on her own might be a good VP or president, but not on her dads, my bad, John McCain’s ticket. A Governor since 2006? Hmm. I think being in the senate gives much more national experience than being a governor. Senators discuss and vote on EVERY single national issue, not just about snow mobiles and iced roads. Obama having done this for 4 years is still more experienced than Sarah Palin to me. She is no match for Joe Biden, who will beat her hands down in a debate.
Also with regards to Sarah Palin’s statement on stage about some Hillary leaving 18 million cracks in the highest glass ceiling in america and the women in America shattering the ceiling once and for all, I think she should keep Hillary’s name out of her mouth and stop trying to jump on Hillary’s hard work.The fact that you’re a woman doesn’t make you equal or anywhere near Hillary Clinton.
On a wisdom scale of 1 to 10, I’ll give McCain’s pick of a VP a 4, while I’ll give Obama picking Joe Biden a 7. McCain’s first presidential decision proves to be very shaky, which is not what America needs right now.

Yes, the “experience” argument is now completely off the table. Thanks John!
And the fact that Gov. Palin called Hillary Clinton back in March a “whiner”, will probably not help McCain/Palin at all.
I really wonder if McCain can do anything right. He’s definitely running for a third Bush term. But it won’t work. Not this time, not this year! Cause it’s “no way, no how, no McCain”
While it’s blatantly obvious that Palin was picked solely on the basis of her sex (it couldn’t have been for her experience now could it?) – some Hillary supporters might be clueless enough to fall for it – especially if they’re FOX news watchers
To me his choice reeks of desperation – choosing Palin is a highly risky political move – especially when you take his age into account. I mean the dude could croak any second!
Let’s just hope that not too many voter fall for this cheap trick.

Er… yes. Shortly after winning the Republican nomination, rumour has it that he chased Condoleezza Rice for a while but she turned him down.
ROFL! You should see the Michael Palin website on the choice of Sarah Palin.
I have been having a field day on my blog with this.
Thank you for the post.
