Who Has More Applicable Experience: Obama or Palin?

there's a huge difference between someone being on a list along with 50 others, and being a last minute pick. she was both. the first time mccain ever met her was like the day before he picked her. and he definately wanted at least two others first, but whoever the GOP puppeteer is/are said no. so he took palin.

 

Since Red's not here, I'll ask. You got proof or are you parroting something you heard and spouting it off as fact?

 

parroting off something i read as fact.

"For weeks, advisers close to the campaign said, Mr. McCain had wanted to name as his running mate his good friend Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, the Democrat turned independent. But by the end of last weekend, the outrage from Christian conservatives over the possibility that Mr. McCain would fill out the Republican ticket with Mr. Lieberman, a supporter of abortion rights, had become too intense to be ignored."

"Mr. McCain wrote, with his top adviser Mark Salter, in his 2002 book, “Worth the Fighting For.” “Often my haste is a mistake, but I live with the consequences without complaint.”"

"After Mr. McCain contacted Ms. Palin, Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Salter met with her on Wednesday in Flagstaff, Ariz. It was not until the following morning that she traveled to Sedona to meet with Mr. McCain, who then sat down with her for his only interview of a potential running mate.

Within hours if not minutes after the interview was concluded, Ms. Palin had the job."


no mention of ridge as his #2 as i had read/heard elsewhere.

if he gets elected i sure hope this works out, really.

 

So wat's the problem? They got it right.

 

my thoughts about obama exactly

 

We'd probably have been better off with Palin.

 

Thats a pretty fair comment:thumb:

Im not being sarcastic either.
