McCain: Palin VP choice based on qualifications

[kpete]

Sarah Palin's qualifications were the overriding reason Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) selected the former Alaska governor as his 2008 presidential running mate, he said Sunday.

Speaking about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney selecting of a vice presidential running mate, McCain said on ABC's "This Week" that the “primary, absolute, most important aspect is if something happened to him, would that person be well qualified to take that place?”

“I happen to believe that was the … primary factor on my decision in 2008," McCain said, "and I know it will be Mitt’s.”

Having a “person Romney]knows he could trust,” is also a critical consideration," McCain told host Jake Tapper.

2. Poor doddering fool - pantalone -

sad really

[IggleDoer]

3. Didn't know that hazing a nice caboose ...

Was a qualification

[kentuck]

4. McCain seems to have lost all touch with reality...

...lately.

[Orsino]

12. No, he's sane enough to realize...

...that admitting his terrible mistake would be bad for his career.

He may be something of a fool, but he's a competent liar.

5. I would feel sorry for him

If he hadn't come damn near to fucking this country up forever because he and his campaign didn't bother to vet her.

What a fucking liar.

6. McCain's either lying or in denial.

7. John, the first step to recovery is admitting that you had a problem.

[Sarcasticus]

8. Rimshot!

[brewens]

9. Sexual scandal? Just who from the campaign researched these "qualifications"? Did

they gain first hand knowledge or rely on what Tardd Palin said? I can't imagine their being any other qualifications.

10. Insanity runs rampant in the republican party

[pscot]

11. What else can he say?

The truth makes him look like either a deeply cynical pol or a complete idiot.
