McCain Goes for the PUMA Bait

In picking Gov. Palin to be his running mate, McCain blows up his strongest argument against Obama.

If McCain thinks Palin is ready to be president, he can't very well object to Obama's preparation for the position.

you have a voice like a radio annowncer(spelling?)

[mickeleh]

I was a radio announcer, briefly.

Mayor of a small town, Governor of the biggest state. Commands the Alaska National Guard and went to Kwait to oversee her troops. Took down corrupt politicians even in her own party when she was younger than 43. She is READY to lead!

If you're buyin' that, welcome to it.

[NorCalStevie]

You so nailed it.

I might elect Palin to the head of the PTA....but not a heartbeat away from Commander in Chief. No...I take it back....I don't want and NRA gun nut in my PTA either.......send her back to The Hinterlands......

U know Obama isn't a Muslim. I'm not a sexist, but I'm not voting to put Palin one heartbeat from the Presidency with her experience in Alaska. There r more people in Chicago than Alaska. Also, she admits she hasn't thought about Iraq. We have problems with Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Russia and let's not forget North Korea. She doesn't even know who to call if the phone rings at 3 A.M. She's been in Alaska. McCain is 72. I'm not willing to make that choice. I liked Romney.

Man you were so right on!! McCain fell for it and destroyed his chances in the process!

[elizawriter]

I love it - 'You go work the concept of Palin as president for a while...' I'm glad to be British at the moment. All our parties suck. P.s. you should so apply for partner!!!

[elvisatemydonuts]

The lefties are TERRIFIED.

The desperation/panic is PRICELESS.

I LOVE IT!!

[snipsnapsnappy]

have you seen the light yet?

[mickeleh]

We do see things differently. I see in McCain someone who has breezily sold out every principled stand that made us admire him in 2000 so that he could capture the heart and soul of the right wing extreme of the Republican party and realize his blind ambition to be President.

Does a person need a certain confidence in order to seek the pres? Of course! But the difference is between personal ambition and a sense of duty. A person who continues to do all they can may find themselves at the top of the heap to assume leadership. That's what I see in McCain. A long dedicated, decorated public servant who finds himself in the best position to lead this country as a SERVANT. I don't see that in Obama. He feels like a self touted Messiah. Duty = Those who can, must.
