Holly shit Benny, we are going to agree on something....

I think McCain wanted Liberman as well but knew it would probably cost him the election. 
I don't see how Palin is a stupid choice...risky in some respects, yes, stupid, no.  I am impressed with this woman so far.

I think it's because she only has 18 months of meaningful experience as Governor, in which time she also got herself caught in a scandal.

She hasn't been vetted, but she will.

The scandle is BS 240, lets drop that unless something of substance comes up.

I'm more impressed by her character, whole story and courage to stand up to corruption in her own party.
She's been in office since 1st week in Dec 2006, so its just shy of 2 yrs...which I agree is not a lot of time, but she's done some excellent things in her state within that period.

It's probably not impeachment-worthy, but it should be looked at. 

Well all know if some dude wrongs your sister, you would like a little payback.  If she used her posisition to somehow administer payback, even thru a proxy, it's a crime.

She shouldn't go to jail for it... but if/when she's in charge of the world as president - will she use 'payback'?

Is this true?

Got any links to it?

I read it in the Wall Street Journal... It was in Friday's edition I believe. (It may have been their Saturday edition) but I didn't pay attention to the date on it.

You know what the best part is.. McCain had only met this chick ONCE before... (during the republican primaries), then he talked to her on the phone for 30 minutes a week ago and met her on Thursday... He doesn't know anything about her either, but he still picked her.

The stench of desperation is all over this thing.

So you admit I have heard of her?   :)

Not all that unusual.  I'm sure she was vetted, so McCain probably knew more about her than her husband did. 

Reagan didn't even like Bush Sr. and put him on the ticket because he thought Bush would help him win.

Yes, but Bush had the resume to be president on day one. He almost had to be, as Reagan was shot in '81. This broad ain't ready.

Yes, I admit you read about her name once... That's about it.

Who nominated her for VP... While only meeting with her once during the Republican Primaries and talking to her on the phone for a 1/2 an hour?

I'm saying when you said I had never heard of her, you didn't know what you were talking about.  Although I shouldn't have even engaged you on that point (because it's sort of silly to tell someone you don't know who they have heard of or not), I nevertheless provided you with a link to a story I posted that talked about Palin.  I could provide another, but I'm not wasting my time trying to convince you what I knew and didn't know.  It's that important.  I'm sure you don't care.  I don't.

You're correct... I am being antagonistic.
