last time GOP picked a supremely unqualified woman....we ended up with Alito!

[PretzelWarrior]

remember? George Bush threw out what looked like an insane pick in Harriet Miers. After the dust settled, though, we ended up with a judge on the bench that was a card carrying conservative right there in the Bork/Scalia mold.

THe question is....if this whole VP choice flames out for McCain and she drops out, will we end up with a tool of the BORG like Romney or Ridge instead?

1. stalking horse. (eom)

3. You mean Mitt Romney will see GOOD after this?

[Danger Mouse]

4. I'd rather see Mittens in the White House than Palin.

2. The thing is, she's far far worse than Romney or Ridge.

[PretzelWarrior]

5. exactly. McCain will have appeased his fundie base

and she will seem so extreme and so full of problems that Romney will seem like a tower of righteousness that anyone could imagine in the White House.

6. that's sad, even i'd breathe a sigh of relief...she scares the shit out of me.

not because i think she could win, but what would happen if somehow she DID.

7. We only ended up with Alito because cowardly and comlicit Dems refused to fight

[PretzelWarrior]

8. point is....could be a rope a dope. he looks like he's down...

then comes back with a choice like ROmney and all of a sudden they are back in business against the "guy who's too young and doesn't look like us".
