Re: (Untitled)
Yes in that she is the thing that has really made McCain go downhill. What shitty judgment. She's an embarrassment of a human being, let along a VP candidate.
But really, he did this to himself. He voluntarily tied himself to her.
ditto zoe
Plus, McCain has made his fair share of mistakes (beyond picking her). His campaign isn't suffering 100% because of Palin.
IIOY's thread below with the Post article hints a little bit at this.
I think she's a huge drag on the ticket, but I think she is a symptom of the problem. McCain has run a terrible, gimmicky campaign. She was a gimmick, just like suspending his campaign and lipstick on a pig. She just reflects his entire management style and decision making.
But, I also think they did not vet her enough. I think they saw 80% approval rating and didn't think past that, and I don't think she was honest with them about all of her baggage. So I think the campaign has been doing damage control from day 1 with her and they have a tremendous amount of resentment.
I think I would qualify as that so-so person. I think ultimately McCain doesn't win because McCain was not the right choice. If the VP candidate was so important for the win, then that doesn't say much for the presidential candidate.
I guess maybe a corollary question is will Palin become the GOP star she was/is expected to become if McCain loses? i.e. given how the MPC is going, what are the chances of a Palin for president run? I don't see it happening, but my understanding is the GOP is grooming her to be the next big hit.
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
It is freaking bizarre. I feel more strongly pro-Obama than I have in a candidate in a long time, but I could still make a list of pros and cons. Even more so with Biden.
People are just irrational about Palin, people you would expect to be a bit more reasoned.
