Had Palin ever endorsed or even talked up McCain before being picked

as his spokesmodel? Er, I mean running mate?

I've seen video of her gushing about Obama & Ron Paul -- who both did well in the primary caucuses there, but she certainly wasn't campaigning for McSame.

She's so into him now though, LOL!

1. No, in fact she said she couldn't endorse him

Because he was against drilling in ANWR.

2. Uh, are there any journalists who might want to ask her

Why she's for him and not Bob Barr or Ron Paul if she's such an effin' Libertarian?

3. Well, she isn't a Libertarian

She's a batshit crazy Fundie opposed to ANY abortion and is even against birth control.

4. That's true but so is Ron Paul

Seems like that would be her candidate....I saw her going on and on about HIM, haven't seen her say anything much about McCain until she got the gig, now she's SO into him, LOL.

5. she's for him

She's only for him because he wants her to be his VP pick.

Even if she was for Barr or Paul, there's no way she's passing up the invitation.

I doubt she was even going to vote for McCain in the GE.

6. Good question, we need to get these three things out there

Palin is just a pawn for the rightwing fundies. McCain picking her is an insult to women. She didn't endorse McCain until she was asked to join the ticket.

7. In the past,

she supported Patrick Buchanan, the former republican. She appeared on stage with him, sporting a Buchanan button.
