Well....if you're afraid of him that's your issue. The wisdom he used in picking his VP to strengthen his weaknesses and to be prepared to lead shows where his head is. McCain's pick is nothing but a pandering plea to women and Christians to win an election.

I think, Aquila, that you are being a bit tunnel visioned.

I'm sorry but she is way more qualified that Obama, IMO.

I personally would rather see her run as President that VP but will gladly accept VP.

I'm not insulted, because I wouldn't vote for him because of SP anymore than I would vote for HC because she's female--unless the qualifications are actually there. Why McCain chose her, (or the machine chose her) really doesn't matter to me. For that matter, why did the Democratic "machine" choose a black man? Every black person should be insulted that they've played the "race card." Right? And every white person should be insulted that he chose a white running mate just to endear himself to the white, racist Democrats?

Of course, that's all conjecture on my part, and I wish JM all the best of health.

But again....that's the problem. It would be a political game. They don't care about who's most qualified to lead. It's empty politicking.

I think you're a blind Republican loyalist.

Neither Obama or Palin are qualified. But Obama's choice shows the kind of judgment needed in a leader with weaknesses. McCain's choice is a begging and pleading for votes.

If anyone is fooled into believing Obama has wisdom to lead has truly been fooled. IMO

in this case he just happened to pick the best possible running mate..so maybe, just maybe his Politicking worked out for the best.

But I think you should rethink your opinion.....It was a smart decision on McCains part....even if she is a woman

Oh, dear. You really don't know me at all. LOL. I'm registered as an Independent for a reason. I'm anything but party loyal. But nice try.
