With all this stuff about Palin coming out.....
You really can see how Bin Laden's at large, the info about WMDs was false and how Al Queda managed to attack the US in the first place. If they're this fucking bad at researching their pick for VP imagine how shitty the research jobs for those three issues was.

2. Nothing is coming out that they didn't know. The why is interesting. Why her when she's got
all this baggage? Politics is theater.

5. Honestly I think she wasn't even considered until they
saw the raw power of the Dem Convention. They picked her out of the blue when they saw the Democratic party was united. They calculated that the Hillary supporters were fools and they could pull those votes.

McCain made a huge mistake, the Hillary supporters are much smarter and thoughtful than the Palin's of the world and the Hillary supporters will not stand to be mocked!

8. Usually they are but why pick her they have a lock on the
evangelical vote right? So they were going for the Independents and the Hillary supporters, if they were smart they would know that both groups want a qualified VP not a religious creationist who likes to shoot wolves from Helicopters.

No, I think they are lazy and just gauging by TX Repug Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson's response and her surprise in trying to defend her I think this was by the cuff.

How calculated is it that they would try to put Palin against Biden?

4. Either that or...
the field of candidates are so lame that she was their best choice.

Maybe she's the only one out there that doesn't frequent airport bathrooms.

10. Or else she was the only one who answered her phone when McCain called.
The smarter ones refused to be McCain's VP, and the others were too busy in their hotel rooms screwing people one way or another.
