Bold! If by bold you mean suicidal. n/t Ganja Ninja Aug 2012 #8
Just as bold as when McCain picked her, and probably with the same results. Arkansas Granny Aug 2012 #9

"tantamount to withdrawing his candidacy" would be more like it.

she decided to have a bus tour and really showed her disrespect by going to NH at the same time just miles apart. That is some bitch who knows what she is doing. I don't blame him if he doesn't have her speaking. She is nothing but a divider. She can't stand him and the feeling is the same for him.

...first the press would be MEAN to her again, and second, at this point she probably thinks VP is beneath her. Don't forget, this is someone who thinks she's qualified for the top slot...as long as she doesn't have to work for it.

Many within the rushpublican party think it was Mooselini that cost them Florida in '04 and created a wider gender gap than was expected. She doesn't bring any states with her and doubtbul she'd be much help in any of the "battleground" states. Above all, team Willard would have to assign a fulltime army of minders to keep Grifterella on script and from "going rogue". Bold pick? More like desperate and stupid pick...just like it was in '08...but even moreso...

But don't tell him that, ok? I'm pretty sure there are a few corporation bigwigs who would demand his head on a platter for wasting their campaign money like that.
