Didn't you use to be a Republican, J? Are you sure your subconscious is not trying to tell you something?
How do we beat her?
Inexperienced? They'll admit she is. And say that's why they put the inexperience at the bottom of the ticket. Democrats put inexperience at the TOP. ( I still believe Obama's experience outweighs Palin's by far. But will the public see it that way. )
Scandal? Unless there's more to troopergate, she's squeaky clean.
Do we let Biden rip her apart? That's gonna backfire with millions of men and some women.
Too conservative? I think she might be, I don't really know. But so what? Americans have voted for extremists like Bush and Cheney, Palin's not gonna scare them.
A pander? Sure she is. But does that ever backfire?
When I say she doesn't have a down side, I mean she doesn't have a down side as a selection. As a strategy. She SURELY has a down side as a potential Vice President...just as McCain has many down sides as a potential President. I am voting for Obama-Biden and will work my ass off for them. But I am a lot more scared we will lose. And I'd feel much better with Romney or Portman were on the ticket.
IMO, this pick guarantees an Obama presidency. Stupid, stupid choice. Obama made the safe choice, McCain made the high risk, low reward pick. Palin won't appeal to Hillary or Obama women. She will hurt with independents because of her lack of experience.
