McCain picks a woman

Her strong points are that she is coming in as a reformer (against corruption no matter whether it's Dem. or Republican), and as a DC outsider.

Excellent point. When I first heard about her, like a lot of people, the knee jerk reaction was that she is little known, also young and with ? experience. But once I started learning about her, I was seriously quite impressed. From the clips of her acceptance speech, she comes across as a very strong and tough person (to campaign against) with a blue collar background. Very exciting choice.

 

The news this morning said she vetoed 300 pork spending bills. Also she challenged the state republican chairman on ethics charges and forced him to step down and pay a $12,000 fine.

She has an 80% approval rating.

I do not know much about her yet but I like what I hear so far.

 

And Obama was a community organizer. What's your point?

 

Link? :hihi:

 

Palin will certainly not bring in the dedicated pro-choice Democrats, but she could attract some of the moderates and independent women.

 

The polls say(remember them? you linked them), that 22-28% of Hillary's voters will vote for McCain, and those numbers have not changed. Perhaps they will fluctuate, but they won't go down because he picked a pro-life woman that does not get to pick supreme court justices anyway.

Face it. Obama had a chance to put a woman on his ticket(one that got more popular votes than he did), and he chose to go with an old, tired, 6 term senator. How's that for change you can believe in?

Palin earned her journalism degree(without being found guilty of plagiarism like one of the candidates), worked as a journalist, served on the city council, served as mayor, was the ethics commissioner on the oil and gas commission, and beat an incumbent, republican governor for his office. All the while standing up to members of her own party for corruption.

Yeah, I can see why you would seek to diminish her accomplishments. I mean, Obama ran a community center before he was in the state senate, got trounced running for congress, and won his senatorial election, where he has spent 2/3 of it running for president.

:rofl::rofl:

And I noticed you had to go all the way back to Bill to find a republican woman voter that switched sides. How did that work out for Gore and Kerry? You keep alluding to the possibility that republicans, women or otherwise, will switch to Obama and there is nothing to support that, except wishful thinking.
