Why Palin Works

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

A very, very risky choice.  I'm surprised they did it.  We'll see what happens ...

I think it was an excellent choice. It truly does scare me.

There's no down side whatsoever.  Unless something else comes out about her.

McCain's 72nd Birthday is her downside

I've never seen a VP pick lose or win the Presidency since Johnson in 1960, maybe (and that was for different reasons.  I doubt that will change this year.

Sam, when was the last time a 72 year old ran for his FIRST term as President?  (not a rhetorical question)

How is it risky?  You think people will react to her being an insane extreme religious right winger?  They haven't ever reacted to that in previous republican candidates?

Nope, McCain is 72 .........President Palin doesn't make me comfortable.  Forget about it being a pander pick.  I deal with President Obama President Biden or President McCain......there were better options.  And he swore he'd pick someone qualified........she ain't....with all due to the Governor.

Wonder what Olbermann will say.

If McCain picked the Virgin Mary herself Olbermann would say McCain F'd up picking this inexperienced broad and that he was pandering.
