Why Sarah Palin was a good pick for the GOP

Let me explain my logic before I get pilloried here:

Independents like myself who support Barack Obama and Democrats are busy trying to tear down John McCain's surprise pick for Vice President. They say she is less qualified than many other potential candidates that McCain could have selected. I would tend to agree. But, that's neither here nor there. The question is whether she can help McCain win the presidency. And on that score she looks like a good gamble. Let me explain why?

Now, after you've read my post, let me have it. I'd like to see a good debate focused on breaking down the potential strengths of the Palin pick that I point out. My interest here is to stop the Anti-Palin free-for-all and home in on the critical weaknesses that will help Obama win.

There are 1000 more qualified candidates: Olympia Snow, Bailey Hutchison herself, Libby Dole, just to name 3 women. But, would they give McCain the same bounce? Maybe. Would they give him the same buzz? No. The Republicans have completely shifted the focus away from Obama. Completely.

What the TPM vid shows is 100% accurate. My fear is that it doesn't matter.

"My interest here is to stop the Anti-Palin free-for-all ..... " blah blah blah ...... Not worth any more time of mine in this thread. Have a nice day. :hi:

Peggy Noonan says it's over for the republican party b/c the choice of Palin is bullshit.

hmmmm.

She wrote something totally different in her column from what she was saying off mike. These people can't be trusted.

surely you realize this.

surely you realize that talking heads on tv are full of shit when they speak as representatives of one position or another, no matter what their political affiliation.

She told the truth. Palin's nomination is a joke. She's an Assemblies of God member - this is a church that believes speaking in tongues is still acceptable, as well as current, modern prophecy.

Palin is a car wreck. I don't want her within a million miles of my govt.

The whole GOP campaign is about distraction. Every news cycle we talk about troopergate or moose is a cycle we don't talk about health care.
