(60,334 posts)She is not any wiser than she ever was, her had just grew, so she could write more word for the salad.

(2,016 posts)being a dingbat is somehow attractive. Physically, mentally or otherwise.
I never saw the appeal, thankfully.

But if we knew nothing about her, or if we knew her as someone who actually had a decent character and mind, we would think her attractive.
In fact, when McCain first chose her, I knew nothing about her, and the first comment I made to my son when we were discussing McCain's choice was that she was strikingly pretty--and that she had especially nice teeth.
Once I had heard her speak, I couldn't see her as pretty any more, though.

(7,675 posts)sexy GOP suburban housewife. It didn't work. Unfortunately it put a fire under Caribou Barbie's ass. She thinks she is a pundit and a deal maker. ????? That's how childish the Teabagger base is and that is how stupid and venal she is.

Let her run-- and waste more money they could spend to actually cost us an election.

(15,220 posts)She was chosen IMHO based on her looks. Now that she is older...that may very well be why they don't want her any more!
After all, have you heard all of their snarky comments about Hillary?

(50,553 posts)The very far right knew who Palin was LONG before the rest of us did.
Remember always that in 2008, the GOP front runner was married to the third-biggest Budweiser distributor in America. To get the votes of the people who are anti-alcohol, a very hardcore fundie was required to be added to the ticket.

(15,220 posts)It didn't hurt that she was (at least pretending to be) religious, or that she had a special needs child. Why, they even used Bristol's out-of-wedlock pregnancy to show what a wonderful family the Palin's are (not!). And the fact that she could shoot a gun, why - - - you betcha!!! She was their girl!
But I still think her looks were a consideration. Remember the base of the GOP: older, white, rich, powerful men.

(5,842 posts)Looks were definitely a major factor in why they chose Palin.
I find it hard to believe that any number of GOP women who had more relevant experience in government would have fallen short on the religion scale compared to Palin.
The GOP went with someone who was young and relatively attractive vs competent and experienced as a way to cancel out the Obama "youth" factor he had going against McCain.

(3,544 posts)people even waste their time with this useless piece of &^%$. So what if people think she's hot. Last I checked, it was suppose to take more than being hot to be an effective politician. This wench is in it for the money.

I'm sure they toss the results, as the whole point is to get your addy and sell it all over the fucking place.

Edited to add: You just *know* this clip had to have been preceded and followed up with about ten tons of bullshit, but I pretty much agree with what the woman said at this one point in time.

What I don't understand is why anyone cares.
She is still, in the words of the Russians she can see from her porch, "глупа, как пробка (stupid as a cork)."
