Thoughts on McCain’s Veep Pick …
Can you say Gimmick?
- Is he trying to go out and win the presidency — or does he think he’s just helping Barack Obama and the Democrats lose? Today’s pick is transparent pandering to the PUMAs. The only problem is it’s becoming more apparent that in the words of Donald Rumsfeld the PUMAs are down to a few “dead-enders.”
- Is this pick about mollifying the right-wingers on the abortion issue? First of all, could John McCain be any more anti-choice? Of all the Republican anti-choicers, is Sarah Palin the one who is also most ready to be VP — or P?
- Did he pick her because she’s smokin’ hot? Definitely the potentially hottest VP in history.
- If picking a woman were so important, are John McCain and the Republicans saying that Sarah Palin is the most qualified Republican woman in the country to potentially be the president of the United States. Albeit Kay Bailey Hutchison is a Barbie Doll wind-up toy – vapid – she’s a party favorite. What about McCain’s economic advisor, Carly Fiorina? A former Fortune 500 CEO, Fiorina would have been a bold choice and shored him up on the economy.
- Sarah Palin seems like a wonderful woman, a capable governor of a small state, and a genuine American story. Her choice as a running mate to McCain just leaves me scratching my head.
