    No, but it doesn't make it a knee-jerk reaction of a pick.

    I've been watching CNN all day, and they're savaging the poor woman. I shudder to think of what they're saying about her on MSNBC.

    McCain doesn't really care about experience then.

    Experience at what?

    Experience at running any type of executive branch of government?
    Experience at combating Washington pork?

    No no, I wasn't talking about who the McCain decided who would be their VP. I'm talking about the knee jerk reactions of the people who would potentially vote for the McCain ticket after only 1 day of learning about the person. You guys are free to do whatever you want, I'm merely trying to talk some reasoning with you.

    I only care about how this will be used to motivate the sheep. From that standpoint, I think it will be a good marketing move.

    Presidential elections aren't about politics or rhetoric. They are about sound bites and tabloid journalism.

    I've decided for a while now that I'm writing in Ron Paul for president.

    I will say the more I see of this woman, the more genuine she seems and the more likable she is.

    It will be interesting to see what the daily tracking polls say in a few days.

    "McCain may want to think twice before accusing Obama of putting his personal ambition ahead of the national interest."

    Nice dodge and a decent sound bite.

    Personally, I'm looking forward to hearing some new talking point because the last 12+ months have been filled with crappy ones.

    You clearly favor McCain. You should just vote for him.

    It doesn't specifically talk about experience and the different types a President "should" have

    Well, Obama shouldn't be getting as much heat from Mac then for his lack of tenure.

    I don't favor McCain. If a gun were pointed at my head and I was told vote for McCain or Obama, it'd be Obama.

    In fact, before I figured out that I could and should write in Ron Paul, I was leaning towards Obama.

    Why? Should McCain expect that he is going to die during his term?

    It is a huge hypocritical move, and he loses a good talking point by picking Palin. He can not continue to bitch about lack of experience.

    In April he said he would pick the VP precisely on the pre-text of his death.

    What is the life expectancy of a man these days? He is a cancer survivor. That stuff comes back occasionally. I don't know, maybe we shouldn't look that hard into this.

    The talking point for the sheep will switch to focus on executive experience. Plenty of room to still bitch about it. It was setup today during his introduction of her.

    When his comments from April make it onto a TV commercial, then he'll have to address that. Most likely it will revolve around "how can Obama attack my health"

    I'm predicting that pictures from inside McCain's colon will be used on the networks in the next 2 months.

    McCain has it made for now, he's going to get a huge bump (especially with the Republican Convention coming up too). Barry needs to bring up Palin's positions (he needs to hammer her on that to get back the Hillary Democrats) at the debates.

    On a side note, why is McCain's slogan "Country First"? Lol, seems mean. :)
