Palin On Obama

Before she was running against him, Sarah Palin—the governor of Alaska and now the Republican candidate for Vice-President of the United States—thought it was pretty neat that Barack Obama was edging ahead of John McCain in her usually solidly red state. After all, she said, Obama’s campaign was using the same sort of language that she had in her gubernatorial race. “The theme of our campaign was ‘new energy,’ ” she said recently. “It was no more status quo, no more politics as usual, it was all about change. So then to see that Obama—literally, part of his campaign uses those themes, even, new energy, change, all that, I think, O.K., well, we were a little bit ahead on that.” She also noted, “Something’s kind of changing here in Alaska, too, for being such a red state on the Presidential level. Obama’s doing just fine in polls up here, which is kind of wigging people out, because they’re saying, ‘This hasn’t happened for decades that in polls the D’ ”—the Democratic candidate—“ ‘is doing just fine.’ To me, that’s indicative, too. It’s the no-more-status-quo, it’s change".

Yeah Mart, this whole deal's got me fuddled. It's like the GOP wants to lose.

And therein lies the answer to McCain's ads quoting Biden and Clinton during the Dems debates.

is this a trojan horse ?

it seems too easy

John McCain selects his Vice-Presidential running mate after meeting her once.

Yep, if something seems too good to be true...

I'm still thinking everyone else said "thanks but I'll sit this one out."

i feel better about that possibility

At least that makes sense.

Yeah, I'm definitely trying to add more possibilities, but can't get past just these two so far:

1. They really ARE that desperate and incompetent.

2. Obama is going to be "eliminated" by "Islamofascists", and there will be "incontrovertible proof" of their responsiblity.

Yes, but this one could be (a) under either one of my mentioned posiblities.

That's what I think...nobody wanted the job.
But there is a slight chance that this is all part of a brilliant GOP plan to RULE THE WORLD!

A brilliant plan that nobody wanted to be a part of?

They're either brilliant or incompetent.

There was talk on CNN about them wanting to regain the Evangelical vote and that they thought she could do it for him. Remember they voted last time to stop gay marriage. Evangelicals have no idea what other issues are out there, they are just concerned about moral issues.

You could have just posted this.

true, but I was being kind
