Comments on: Obama Ad: Palin Pick Doesn’t Mean Change For McCain

[lilvinnyb]

OBama picks Joe Biden (30 years in senate), Mccain picks a Woman Gov from Alaska. looks like the real change is on the GOP side.

The reaction from the Dems say it all..they are scared.

I just read something that says she "supports big oil". Obvious some people dont know anything about her. Read a bit before making comments.

McCain''''s VP choice should inflame women. It is nothing more thatn a sarcastic, almost childishly impulsive, painfully overt move to get women''''s votes. What an insult to women! Does he believe that America''''s women are so shallow as to ignore ALL other information / issues and vote for him simply because he selected a female for VP? That is, that he believes women are simple thinking, one issue voters? Rubbish! I don''t buy it.

Joe Biden skeleton closet.
For those who don''t know Joe Biden: %u201CI mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that%u2019s a storybook, man.%u201D

What does it tell you how he views African Americans? And this is the guy you want to vote in as running mate to Barack? Did Obama really chose Biden, a Washington insider, or was he told to take him? - is it paying back favors to those who bent the primaries in his favor?

McCain has a thing for beauty queens and models. I wonder what his cabinet will look like. I can just picture McCain looking through pictures of the VP choices and saying "She''''s hot".

I suppose, like Chris Matthews, gets a rocket in your pocket when Obama speaks.

wouldn''''t have thought this until I started meeting these women. Women who have insurance for their kids. Women who''''s husbands vote Republican. They were going to vote Hillary solely because she was a women. Don''''t kid yourself, right or wrong, there''''s plenty of them. LOL, LOL.

I teach at a local Community College and I have to say you aren''t just wrong... you are dead wrong. Most of the Women and Teachers I talked to saw right through this. I know McCain had little Choice, seeing the speech from Obama and seeing him jump up by 8 points in the Tracking Poll, he had to do something but this will turn off more Independents and Moderates than it will ever gain him. It looks just like what it is, a cave in to the Radical Part of his Party. That''s the part of the Party MOST people feel we HAVE to get away from.. have to stop the Gridlock. Now knowing we are going to have a Democratic Congress, it would appear to most intelligent people that McCain needs to move toward the CENTER.

Yes, but there are millions of IMAGINARY Hillary voters that are going to cast REAL ballots for McCain now that Palin is his running mate. The women voters Palin pulls from Hillary are voting on gender only. They won''''t consider the issues you raise.

LOL YOU honestly think this?? LOL Mothers who must send their kids out every day without health insurance will vote for someone who not only wouldn''t change the way it is, but would not even think of forcing Insurers to alter anything they are doing?? You have a very low opinion of American Women! Very low indeed. Sieg Heil McSame

But she''s pretty! That''s a change...


Fluff for VP!

She''ll fight Al-Qaida with soccer balls and dirty diapers!


"You can''t make this stuff up!"

I don''''t think Barack can win . . .

You forgot the period between ''think'' and ''Barack''.

No REAL Hillary supporter and few independents are going to be comfortable with the choice of VP who:
-was chosen after only one meeting and phone call
-is against abortion, even in cases of rape and incest
-supports creationism in the classroom
-holds numerous anti-environmental positions
-supports big oil
-has no foreign policy experience
-supported nonsense such as ''Bridge to Nowhere'' (before she was against it)
-is under investigation for abuse of her office
-etc, the list goes on

Palin is just another "out of his mind" gaff on MyCane''s part. He needs the far right base vote so he picks a totally inept ultra conservative woman. I don''t think it will work. I believe the American people already suspect that MyCane will have to leave office due to dementia. The thought of a precedent who is far right of Bush is too far right for the country.
