And just for balance...

Sarah Palin actually has a lot of experience with financial matters. You know, she lives right next to a bank.

Well, to give sarge credit, I don't think too many Democrats would be here telling jokes about their candidates...heh.

So what exactly is the strong point of The Sarah Palin?

Does she have any besides shrieking?

This debate will occur at the end of a two-week period where the modern conservative movement essentially unraveled. The party rebelled against its president on an issue of central ideological importance: the role of government in the market.

Heading the ticket is an old guy, who's reversed himself to endorse millions of dollars in tax cuts as the national debt tops ten trillion, while denouncing earmarks that break down to, for example, a couple million to a specific university to study the DNA of polar bears.

Sarah Palin isn't strong enough to put humpty-dumpty back together.

Sushi - For one thing, she could whip you in a game of one-on-one basketball.

In addition to that she's a wonderful person with strong character and good judgement.

Sarge - "Sushi - For one thing, she could whip you in a game of one-on-one basketball."

Even if she could, does that qualify her to be VP?

"In addition to that she's a wonderful person with strong character and good judgement."

No. That's just what the campaign of **The Sarah Palin **has told you to say.

And don't get me started on 'good judgment'...... :-)

Sushi - Also, she doesn't shriek. She enunciates with flair.

OK, now for some fun...

Not only is she young, they're saying that she's the prettiest candidate for Vice President since John Edwards.

Interviewer: Governor Palin, were you surprised when John McCain chose you as his running mate?

Palin: Yes, very. I had never even met him in person before I agreed to be his VP candidate.

Interviewer: What were your first words to him when you finally met on the campaign trail?

Palin: Get your hands off me.

Well, I think she's kind of hot - which can't be said about anyone else we've ever had running. Not a brain trust I shoudln't think, but having to look at her on the big screen rather than some wrinkly old guy is always a plus. I think that's why the liberal female crowd hate her so; she's better looking than most of 'em.

Everyone goes on about why McCain chose Palin - which is a good question for many obvious reasons - but why did Obama choose Biden? The man is an idiot. I wish I could find the quote, but he was at some event where he was cajoling one of the attendees to "stand up and take a bow for all the work they've done" - well, the person he was asking to 'stand up' was in a wheelchair. Priceless.

Tiger - I think McCain chose Palin for the following reasons, not necessarily in any order:

He wanted to shake up his campaign.

He thinks Palin can help him get elected. ( she obviously has the support of many women and conservatives )

He wanted to make history by choosing the first female vice president.

He admires her and thinks she would make a great partner in the White House.

He has confidence in her.

She's going to make Obama realize he made the wrong VP choice tomorrow night.

Actually, Obama already knows he made the wrong VP choice, but tomorrow night Palin's going to confirm it.

Sarge: "He thinks Palin can help him get elected"
- which reflects the judgement of a man not suited to lead the USA, plainly.
Sarge at 03:00 PM JST - 1st October

frontandcentre - That's only one of the reasons McCain picked Palin. And I'd bet a month's salary that every presidential candidate in history picked his running mate at least in part because that would help him get elected. Even Obama thought that until McCain picked Palin.

Biden's hope of becoming VP may well be over in 48 hours...
