I don't get this pick.

At all.

Palin?

Seriously?

"I'm John McCain and I'm voting for Barack Obama."

5. It just seems like a truly inept bungle of a pick to me.
Am I wrong?

10. On the surface it looks pretty moronic and hypocritical. When you dig deeper
it still looks moronic and hypocritical. But also I'll never again underestimate the stupid shit our citizens can fall for. So I don't know.

2. She and all the other contenders probably turned him down. (nt)
It was clear he would lose after Obama's speech.

3. She doesn't want it; she wants to come back to Texas.
And anyway, Palin is cuter. :eyes:

11. She may not have wanted it, and quite frankly, her two thousand square foot walk-in
is stocked with a veritable cornucopia of damaging material. KBH NEVER met a lobbyist or special interest she didn't like, and has PLENTY of enemies in Texas. Throwing KBH into the mix would be like chumming the waters and waiting for the feeding frenzy.

8. There's more money in the Texas governorship.
Probably a LOT more.

Kay wants to follow in W's footsteps, not hook her wagon to a loser.

9. KBH doesn't have an Eskimo husband, she doesn't have a Downs Syndrome child, and
she doesn't hunt Bullwinkle.

No way she can be higher than her current level in the GOP.

15. Did you see her saying we just have to trust McCain's judgement?
Like she has no ability to think. Not even enough to defend Palin. Just deferring to the man.

19. They hate each other.
She despises McCain, and the feeling is mutual.

This is not a nice man.

21. Hutch is pro choice.
Palin also has executive experience as a governor. Wasn't LBJ the last Senator elected? That being said, a Senator WILL be elected this year.
