Personally, I think it was a smart move. She's already praising Hillary for "fracturing the glass ceiling." With all of the jaded Clinton voters, transparent move or not, I'm guessing it'll get him some "swing" votes.
not for nuthing... But the "swing" voter issue is mort. and seriously one thing Hillary will not stand for is people pandering to her voters. except backlash. Harsh backlash.
they are her voters damnit and she'll keep them
I will admit she may get the "schwing" votes I still don't see the swing votes.
Clinton's supporters backed her in part due to her pro-choice stance.

And yeah you dudes are probably right; I don't think there are as many "undecided" voters out there as the media would have us believe...though I do know a lot of dumb whores....
(too much?)

Mom asked me not to give that out anymore.
Not that I'm going to Vote for McCain, but Palin sure did get a good education.
She went to the University of Idaho! GO VANDALS!
She graduated 3 years before me, and my brother knew her in school, and currently knows her now (he's in grants living outside of Fairbanks).
So I'm now 4 degrees of separation from McCain... ;)
What will be interesting is her stance on education, since she got her udergrad from a state, public, school.

As lifted from another forum, it appears that She will be played by Tina Fey on SNL

Now when Mcain/Cougar get asked how many homes they own they can shoot back with, " So how many college degrees does Obama have? "

This choice may clear the way for The Obama-nation
Jobama, the Obama-null snow man.
I have to say it's a bad pick. Now McCain can't harp on inexperience, and it's particularly obvious why he made the choice - try and grab Hillary's votes. If Hillary would have been the VP candidate, what do you wanna bet McCain would have picked differently? Seems like an obvious pandering ploy to me, and Hillary's supporters won't fall for it - she wouldn't let them.
I didn't think she was all that great speaking today either. Came off as someone who is in over their head.
I'm not allowed to vote in the US (something to do with the wrong kind of passport) and I tend to lean a little more to the left anyway. But I would rock a McCain/Cougar bumper sticker.

So she can run this country because she can shoot a freak'n gun.

Don't forget, if something happens to the old dude, she will be in charge. I guess she will take her stupid little rifle to Georgia and teach the Russians how to act. Not

And Obama's two weeks in the senate make him so much more qualified? At least she's 1) had executive experience and 2) the VP canididate, not the candidate for the top spot.
Yeah..
Might as well put BP on the ticket as well now.

* We are at odds with the world community and have fewer friends than in fifty years.
* We are more fearful of the future than in decades.
* We're back to deficits, big deficits. The surplus has been spent... and then some. We've gone from a $236 billion annual surplus to a $521 billion deficit! The ten year projection has changed from a $5.6 trillion surplus to a $5 trillion deficit, a $10 trillion swing.
* Unemployment has reached over 10% of the work force, as high as it was in 1982. Over 2.7 million jobs lost.
* The stock market has cratered, wiping out millions of people's retirement savings.
* Corporate scandals by high-flying companies (and big Republican supporters) have rocked the economy.
* Corporate taxes are now only 1.3% of GDP, the lowest in twenty years. In 2002, less than half of actual corporate profits were subject to corporate income tax.

Yep, she plays buddy buddy to all those oil companies that mail checks to her constituents back home. Makes a damn sight more sense than saying 'I'm cutting off your money.'
In that way, she's like the Dems who want to fling entitlement money everywhere. The difference: she ain't picking my pocket to do it.
Um, yes she is, but in a slightly more indirect way. Where do you think the oil companies get the money to give to her from?
